ALL YOU NEED IS NOW
It's all up to you now find yourself in the moment
go directly to the voodoo now the channel is open
lose your head lose control
you come on delicate and fine like a diamond in the mind
woah, yeah, when you move into the light you're the greatest thing alive
woah... and you
SWAY in the moon the way you did when you were younger
and we told everybody all you need is now
STAY with the music let it play a little longer
you don't need anybody all you need is now
Everybody's gunning for the VIP section
but you're better up and running in another direction
with your bones in the thrall
throw a shadow on the vine, bat your lashes let it shine
woah, yeah, every moment that arrives you're the greatest thing alive
woah... and you
SWAY in the moon the way you did when you were younger
and we told everybody all you need is now
STAY with the music let it play a little longer
you don't need anybody all you need is now
all you need, all you need is now
all you need, all you need is now
all you need, all you need is now
... and we will
SWAY in the moon the way we did when we were younger (when we were younger)
when we told everybody all you need is now
STAY with the music let it play a little longer (a little longer)
you don't need anybody all you need is now
all you need, all you need is now
all you need, all you need is now
all you need, all you need is now
all you need, all you need is now
BLAME THE MACHINES
I'm driving up the autobahn
losing my way as the night gets long
the headlights shining in my face
scream out the danger of this place
and now there's no way home this love affair is ended
I should have known when I bought into the dream
so like your solid soul to leave me lost and stranded
I blame myself and I blame the machines
I'm flying blind I'm speeding through
I hate to think I've been fooled by you
an interactive nightmare show
which never ends, it just goes on and on and on and on
and now there's no way home this love affair is ended
I should have known when I bought into the dream
so like your solid soul to leave me lost and stranded
I blame myself and I blame the machines
and now turn left
I have control
you are not required
to think at all
everything we hear (goes on and on)
everything we see,
everything we love (goes on and on)
everything we feel,
everything we want, (goes on and on)
everything we do, (and on)
everywhere we go (and on)
everything we know (and on)
and now there's no way home this love affair is ended
I should have known when I bought into the dream
so like your solid soul to leave me lost and stranded
I blame myself and I blame the machines
oo-oh oo-oh -I blame the machines
oo-oh oo-oh -blame the machines
repeat...
BEING FOLLOWED
To the voyeur, seated in a darkened room.
Do you thrill when the green light starts pulsing?
Paranoia, the only valid point of view.
if you know what I'm saying.
I'm not alone, being followed
someone always watching what we do
never alone, but I'm in the shadows
I dream things I don't want you to know
something shifting between the sirens and the glow
of red lights and the blue slowly turning
the fog is lifting
a silhouette begins the show
then the moment is stolen
I'm not alone, being followed
someone always watching what we do
never alone, I'm in the shadows
I dream things I don't want you to know
In this chamber lit by scandal
you're the bullet in the barrel
you're the last thing as I'm falling
bloody roaring still I'm calling out
I'm calling out
I'm not alone, being followed
never alone, I'm being followed
I'm not alone, being followed
never alone, I'm being followed
LEAVE A LIGHT ON
So come the evening
I'm out on the dunes
looking for a token
something to prove
all I remember
is more than a flame
in my fantasy fire
whatever I've done to receive
whatever I need to redeem
whatever you say
even if I wait a lifetime
I know, I swear, if you leave a light on, if you leave a light on
for me
I'll come there
You can leave a light on for me
In comes the morning
I'm stood in my track
looking at the reasons
for me to head back
so unexpected
the kindness you've shown
that I will not forget it
whatever I've done to receive
whatever I need to redeem
whatever you say
even if I wait a lifetime
I know, I swear, if you leave a light on, if you leave a light on
for me
I'll come there
You can leave a light on for me
you breathe the will into the weak
and coax the cage bird to fly free
you ease the lost cause out of me
with your sweet hand to bring me home
I'm not alone
I know, I swear, if you leave a light on, if you leave a light on
for me,
I'll come there
You can leave a light on for me
I know, I swear, if you leave a light on, if you leave a light on
for me,
I'll come there
You can leave a light on for me
SAFE (IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT)
(People say you've been around
How 'bout you and me get down?
How 'bout you and me get down?
Babe I know you've been around
Unmake your bed
Don't think about what lies ahead
Don't you want to be misled?
Don't you want to be misled?)
Fame, seems a far off day
when enough was never enough
vain, how I played my hand
one more reckless man in the rough
strange, how we explain the story that we've lived through
change, my karma train, the person I can be for you is...
SAFE - safe in the heat of the moment -
a stillness that comes to me
when I'm close to you
SAFE - safe at the speed of atonement -
a feeling that runs so deep
that it scares me too
dazed by my own escape
from the single state I was used to
face my catch-22
can I stay this way if I choose to
wrong, to be so contained now I can't explain what is happening
strong, is the human chain, as it pulls me through, what I bring to you is...
SAFE - safe in the heat of the moment -
a stillness that comes to me
when I'm close to you
SAFE - safe at the speed of atonement -
a feeling that runs so deep
that it scares me too
SAFE - safe in the heat of the moment -
a stillness that comes to me
when I'm close to you
SAFE - safe at the speed of atonement -
a feeling that runs so deep
that it scares me too
Fame, seems a far off day
when enough was never enough
vain, how I played my hand
one more reckless man in the rough
(Hook a finger wink an eye
Caresses running up your thigh
Scratch my surface dig in deep
There's always secrets left to keep
Safe not sound who made these rules
Crowd control for enlightened fools
So come on boy let's change the pace
Come feel the chill of my embrace
People say you've been around
How 'bout you and me get down?
How 'bout you and me get down?
Babe I know you've been around
Unmake your bed
Don't think about what lies ahead
Don't you want to be misled?
Don't you want to be misled?)
SAFE - safe in the heat of the moment -
a stillness that comes to me

SAFE - safe in the heat of the moment -
a stillness that comes to me

SAFE - safe at the speed of atonement -

GIRL PANIC!
I came by invitation to general Chelsea mayhem
then going on to somewhere, yes I was going somewhere
a single random meeting with your eyes and I am beaten
and now I'm going nowhere, I know I'm going nowhere
with all the voices in my head
the clever words I never said
of all the things to happen
in a girl panic, that's driving naked through my mind
it's a crush panic, she's got me atomized
you beg me to get closer, dress falling off your shoulder
then heat is wrapping round us, this city strapped around us
coz now I sense your mission is my coming demolition
and you just hold me under, I know I'm going under
with all the voices in my head
the clever words I never said
and you just let it happen
in a girl panic, that's driving naked through my mind
it's a crush panic, she's got me atomized
in a girl panic, the midnight traffic in her eyes
like a hypnotic, and I am mesmerized
you know you know I want you; I know you know I want you
with all the voices in my head
the clever words I never said
and you just let it happen
in a girl panic, that's driving naked through my mind
it's a crush panic, she's got me atomized
in a girl panic, the midnight traffic in her eyes
like a hypnotic, and I am mesmerized
in a girl panic
a crush panic
she's a hypnotic
it's a girl panic !
THE MAN WHO STOLE A LEOPARD
Do you know where we are?
I'm longing for the dark
of our nocturnal life
it begins and ends with you
don't spill my secret
you were once running wild hiding in the morning mist
game demands I make you mine
I thought that I could resist but the leopard in you
silently preyed on me
I made my way back home
(did you follow her?)
I handled her with care
(were you in control?)
so elegant and sleek
(were you not afraid?)
I need her to be near
(does she belong to you?)
don't spill my secret
you were once running wild hiding in the morning mist
game demands I make you mine
thought that I could resist but the leopard in you
silently preyed on me
deserted by my friends
(don't they understand?)
she's so much more than them
(how could they compare?)
so now she's just for me
(no one else can see)
I watch her while she sleeps
(be sure she dreams of you)
don't spill my secret
(It's been quite a while)
since we were last outside
(and do you miss the chase?)
now that we've both been tamed
(inside this gilded cage)
prisoners of our thoughts
(you saved me from myself)
don't spill my secret
RUNWAY RUNAWAY
At the door blowing a kiss she's
careful not to wake her sister
knowing that she will be missed
it feels a little bad girl
on the corner engine running
taxi driver sees her coming
chilly in the morning sun
she seems a little sad
say goodbye, she's not afraid of leaving
no-one by her side, nothing to hang on
wave goodbye, to everything familiar
there's a world to find, runway runaway just run away
looking back she sees the pattern
hidden princess in the attic
realise this picture that
is more than she will hope for
happy when her heart is jumping
desperately seeking something
trying to be strong enough
to choose another road
say goodbye, she's not afraid of leaving
no-one by her side, nothing to hang on
wave goodbye, to everything familiar
there's a world to find, runway runaway just run away
runway runaway just run away
runway runaway...run away
runway runaway just run away
BEFORE THE RAIN
a stormy summer
is rolling closer
lighting up this holy smoker
and if this drinking
could ease the thinking
I toast to my home truth with this glass
all rise you promises broken
call my lovers by their names
lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind
which blows before the rain
little pin-pricks
and how my ears bleed
on the bomb ticks that is my heartbeat
in every life-flash
in every car crash
I hear the silence waiting to fall
all rise you promises broken
call my lovers by their names
lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind
which blows before the rain
for all I carry
are murdered secrets
the price of my blue star-eyed weakness
and so we travel
and we unravel
towards the place where all loose ends go
all rise you promises broken
call my lovers by their names
lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind
which blows before the rain
TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN (Bonus Track)
too close to the sun
tell-tale light in the eyes
slip into your pain … painkiller heels comatose
mighty ah high … times … ah high
you're looking out for something - some escape from
the antique dark of nothing new - automatic sky
out where the cupids dare to climb - soon these pretty feathers burn
as you' ll discover when you fly too close to the sun
too close to the sun
stay while you're by
back for a night not back for long
salon … it's unfolding by the time we realise
ah high
still looking out for something - some escape from
the antique dark of nothing new - automatic sky
out where the cupids dare to climb - soon these pretty feathers burn
as you' ll discover when you fly too close to the sun
too close to the sun
are you flying too close to the sun?
EARLY SUMMER NERVES (Bonus Track)
what were the chances for me
when I spoke to her last night?
what were the chances I'd be
here lying by her side?
why does it looks so risky
hiding in the morning light?
now as the memory hits me
right between the eyes
strange nobody else can hear those fingers
tapping onat the glassdoor
with reviews of early summer nerves
welcome to Miss Adventure
oh she is a slippery slope
welcome to glamour central
where I'm hanging on a rope
who exactly am I trying to fool
with all those fancy words?
just a case of early summer nerves
MID
this won't get me out of it
but finally I understand
you've got to love those early summer nerves
NETWORKER NATION (Bonus Track)
you can call me wrong
you can put me straight
say the very thing
that i love or hate
another you-tube star
you know how it's gonna end
looking for the real world
with my facebook friends
elegant times for no conversation
coz now we're online
a networker nation
tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap
re-writing the book
it's some weird hiro thing
we could change the world
if we can stay awake
in this screenlit room
halfway into night
words spark the fuse
set this story alight
elegant times for no conversation
coz now we're online
a networker nation
and nobody minds if it's imitation
we're living our life
a networker nation
tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap
Across the sky
A jet trail following
The wish that I was on the plane
On my way to some out destination
Undiscovered never mentioned
Sipping on the high of expectation
I awaken to the shade
Maybe it's the rain of town
One you wanted to leave behind
When the winter's on the ground
If you ever wonder
We believe in the cold grey lights we dream
There's a place for us
Mediterranea
Yes we believe where the white sands touch the sea
There's space for us
Mediterranea
I'm trading in for touch down ecstasy
Arriving there in a wave of heat
Lying in the beach tequila mayhem
Summer of all suburbian daydreams
Waiting for a look the invitation
I awaken to the shade
Maybe it's the rain of town
One you wanted to leave behind
When the winter's on the ground
If you ever wonder
We believe in the cold grey lights we dream
There's a place for us
Mediterranea
Yes we believe where the white sands touch the sea
There's space for us
Mediterranea
I imagine
Summer fashion, see yourself in another town
Let the sunshine out of your mind
A bed of light to lay you down
We believe in the cold grey lights we dream
There's a place for us
Mediterranea
Yes we believe where the white sands touch the sea
There's space for us
Mediterranea
And we believe
Yes we believe
There's a place for us
Mediterranea
