just [A] stick in your throat 3 - 1 - [G]

I'm around in your soundtrack,
to mirror all that you've done
To find the right side of reason
to kill the three lies for one
I could see all the cold facts,
I could see through your eyes
All this don't make no contact
no matter how hard I try
3 - 1 - [G]

I could still hear the footsteps,
I could see only walls
All this don't make no contact,
here, hearing no at all
I could see contradiction,
I could give up the right
Just to live in the past tense,
To make believe you were right!
3 - 1 - [G]
3 - 5 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 5

Autosuggestion

Here, here, everything is my design
Everything is my design
Here, here, everything is kept inside
So take a chance and step outside
Your hopes, your dreams, your paradise
Heroes, idols crept like ice

Here, here, everything is kept inside
So take a chance and step outside
Feel frustration face to face
A point of view creates more waste
So take a chance and step outside

Take a chance and step outside
Lose some sleep and say you've tried
Meet frustrations face to face
A point of view creates more waste
So lose some sleep
and say you've tried (4)
Say you've tried (11)
Yeah, lose some sleep
and say you've tried (4)

Atmosphere

Walk -- in silence
Don't walk away -- in silence
See the danger -- always danger
Endless talking -- life rebuilding
Don't walk away

Walk -- in silence
Don't turn away -- in silence
Your confusion -- my illusion
Worn like a mask
of self-hate
Confronts and then dies
Don't walk away

People like you -- find it easy
Aching to see -- walking on air
Hunting by rivers, through the streets,
every corner abandoned to soon
Set down with due care
don't walk away -- in silence --
Don't walk away

Failures

Don't speak with shameless face
A failure of modern man
To the centre of luck he dived
Has a hold on a nose
so red
Throw up in a hollow field
Break the image of your father's son
Drawn to an inner field
He was thought of as the only one (2)

He no longer denies
All the failures of the modern man
No, no, no we can't make sides
Sees the failures of the modern man
Wise words and sympathy
Tell the story of our history
New strength gives a real touch
Sense of reason make it all too much
With a strange fatality
Broke the spirits of a lesser man
Some other race could see
In his way he was the only one (2)

He no longer denies
All the failures of the modern man
No, no, no we can't make sides
See the failures of the modern man
Now that it's right to decide
In his time he was the total man
Taken from Caesar's side
Kept in silence just to prove
us wrong
He no longer denies
All the failures of the modern man
No, no, no we can't make sides
Sees the failures of the modern man
All the failures of the modern man

No, I don't know just why, No,
I don't know just why
Which way to turn, I've got this ticket
to use
Through child-like ways, rebellion and crime
To reach this point
and retreat back again
The broken hearts, all the wheels
that are turned
The memory's scarred
and the vision blurred

No, I don't know which way,
Don't know which way to turn
The best possible use -- Just passing
through 'till we reach the next stage
Just to where-well, it's all been arranged
Just passing through
but the break must be made
Should we move on
or stay safely away?
Through child-like ways, rebellion and crime
To reach this point
and retreat back again
The broken hearts, all the wheels
that are turned
The memory's scarred
and the vision blurred
Just passing through
'till we reach the next stage
But just to where-well, it's all been arranged
Just passing through
but the break must be made
Should we move on
or stay safely away?

Novelty

When the people listen to you don't you
know it means a lot 'cos you've got to
work so hard for everything you've got
Can't rest on your laurels now
Not when you've got none
You'll find yourself in a gutter
Right back where you came from

Someone told me being in the know
is the main thing
We all need the security
that belonging brings
Can't stand on your own in these times
against all the odds
You all just fall behind like all
the other sods

You slap your back
and pretend you knew about
all the things that we were gonna do
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do
when it's over?
You're all on your own now,
Don't you think that's a shame
But you're the only one responsible
to take the blame
So what ya gonna do when the novelty
has gone
Yeah, what ya gonna do when the novelty
has gone
You slap your backs
and pretend you knew about
all the things we were gonna do
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do
When its over?

Komakino

This is the hour when the mysteries emerge
Strangeness so hard to reflect
A moment so moving goes straight
to your heart
Condition that's never been met
The attraction that's held like a wake
deep inside
Something I'll never forget
Pattern is set, the reaction will start
Complete but rejected too soon
Looking ahead in the grip of each tear
Impulse that blinds every move
Shadow that stood by the side of the road
Always reminds me of you
How can I find the right way
to control
All the conflicts inside,
All the problems beside
As the questions are right,
and the answers don't fit
Into my way of paying, into my way
of paying

These Days

Morning seems strange, almost out of place
Searched hard for you and your special ways
These days -- please stay
Spent all my time,
learnt to kill is hard
Took threats and abuse
till I'd lived apart
Can you stay -- for these days?
These days -- these days
Use hard-worn deception to get away
Broken heart romance
to make it pay
These days -- these days
We'll tread through it all
This modern age
Take care of it all now these debts
are paid
Can you stay -- for these days?

No Love Lost

So long sitting here --
Didn't here the warning
Waiting for the tape to run
We've been moving round in different
situations
Knowing that the time would come
Knowing that the time would come
Just to see you torn apart --
witness to your empty heart
I need it (3)

Through the wire screen the eyes
of those standing outside
locked in at her as if into the cage
of some rare creature in a zoo.
In the hand of one of the assistants she saw
the same instrument which they had that
morning inserted deep
into her body.
She shuddered instinctively.
No life at all in the House
of Dolls. No love lost (3)

You've been seeing things in darkness --
Running, learning
Hoping that the truth will pass
No life underground
Wasting, never changing
Wishing that this thing won't last
To never see you show your age
To watch the feeling fades
I need it

The Drawback (or All of this for You)

Seen the troubles and the evils of this world
I've seen the stretches between
godliness and sin
I've had the promise and confessions
of true faith
And the hypocrisy that always lies within
And they left it for you --
all of this for you (2)

I've seen the products
and the other world of waste
I've seen the colour of corruption
deep within
I've seen them lose themselves
in dignity and taste
To see in black and white and through
to black again
And they left it all for you --
all of this for you (2)

And they left it for you --
all of this for you
And they left it for you -- everything for you
I've seen the troubles and the evils
of this world
I've seen the ones who can succeed
but always lose
I've seen what's left
of poor technology and work
And watched them dying as they
leave their ship of fools
And they left it for you --
all of this for you
