What's the point of worrying about
where you go when your time has run out?
The show will go on
The world doesn't turn around you
If you're lucky you had someone who cared about you
The show will go on
Do you dream of a world in the sky?
Where do our dreams go after we die?
The show will go on

Futureland
02:44
|
|||
|
We were watching television looking through our TV eyes
To a future out there somewhere that would take us by surprise
We were hoping for a promise that would lead us by the hand
Lead us straight to the Futureland
We were gathered in the classroom dreaming of our ideal homes
going back to little houses we must wait until we're grown
We were sitting by the TV given things to make and do
every day our dreams were ended by the early evening news
Lead us straight to the Futureland
Well it's forty years later we're still watching our TVs
did we get what we had hoped for or forgotten all our dreams?
We may have swapped our playhouse for a different set of keys
but we're locked inside a nightmare and it's called reality
We were hoping for a promise that would lead us by the hand
Lead us straight to the Futureland

Blinded
02:38
|
|||
|
Ignorance is bliss
Hesitation of the wise
Making bad choices
but they fail to realise
Miscalculation of the power of our minds
We are blinded and we're led by the blind
Don't be a victim
of the negative effect
The self promotion
of a lower intellect
Knowledge of the wise man
but he thinks he is a fool
Making his assumptions
he forgets this golden rule

Dead By Wednesday
04:16
|
|||
|
We'll be at work on Monday
trudging through the rain
Bodies aching, breaking over again
Nowhere to party Tuesday
nowhere to catch a smile
Everywhere is early closing, seventies style
We could be dead by Wednesday
we're running out of time
Our contract says we're running way past our prime
Pay your respects on Thursday
as we lie in state
Pay homage to the dream of a new leisure age
Looking forward to the weekend
good times are coming soon
We're waving at you, floating round the moon
Soon every day is Sunday
waking in the afternoon
You'll see our shadows in the light of the moon
There are no angels
There are no angels here

Submarine
03:54
|
|||
|
I never wanted to be under water
to be somewhere where I cannot breathe
On the surface I could see horizons
while I'm taking in the atmosphere
Dive
Going under
In my submarine
Under orders I am mobilising
leaving harbour going out to sea
Under the surface I am always hiding
all communication lost to me
Breaking silence I can send my message
to the people that I leave behind
I never wanted to be under water
but my attitude has changed with time
Sailing deeper into stormy waters
heavy weather left above me now
With the fishes I can swim more freely
at least as much as this machine allows

Emperor
02:31
|
|||
|
You've got to do
Whatever I dictate
Acting like an emperor
Whatever I dictate
It's like a drug, I know I have your trust
You've been mugged, you're not alone, come along with us
You believe that you're making a difference
I believe that nothing will change
We know it all - every note you play
Every word - from a script that we made you say

Reach For The Stars
04:28
|
|||
|
I'm in the gutter
I never dream that I'll see the stars
Under the weather
sinking under
In minus figures
hidden givers
never glimpse my world
I'm sinking under
under cover with my daydream girl
I'm only sleeping
It doesn't seem as if I'll start to breathe
Behind the curtains
so uncertain
Beyond the window
I can't see into
other people's minds
Never feeling
only dreaming of a new surprise
I won't be sharing
I can't spare you any things of mine
I keep them hidden
my only treasures
Stars are shining
making shadows
in the darkest night
I won't be with them
I'll be hidden waiting here inside

You're Insane
03:10
|
|||
|
Sometimes I think that I have gone mad
but what does that mean?
Sometimes our sanity is tested
things aren't what they seem
Am I mad or are you?
or are we only human?
We believe we are normal
If we believe that we must be insane
Sometimes we're suffering in silence
and no one can tell
Sometimes appearance is deceptive
and our minds are unwell
Some people suffer from a weakness
inherited genes
They just might need more understanding
underneath what we see

The Comedown
03:18
|
|||
|
Climb to the top of the tree
is a plan that's not for me
Don't want to fall to the ground
Come down to reality
Come round to what's good for me
It's a comedown
Such a comedown
I want to express myself
Don't want to keep it neat
We need equality
I want technology
that really works for me
I love our history
