Speak And Spell

New Life

I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watch that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit with danger 
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life 
Transition to another place
So the time will pass more slowly
Your features fuse and your shadow's red
Like a film I've seen now show me 
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life 
Your face is hidden and we're out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The stranger in the door is the same as before
So the question answer's nowhere 
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life 
I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watch that man to a stranger
Think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit, red danger 
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life

Sometimes Wish I Was Dead

New sound all around
You can hear it too
Get it hot, never stop
Just for me and you
Playing on my radio
And saying that you have to go 
New day, turn away
Wipe away the tear
New night, feel alright
Knowing that you're here
Dancing with you all the time
And don't you think that it's a crime 
Back street, never meet
Never say goodbye
I know where you go
But I don't know why
You say that it's from above
And I say "this is modern love?"

Puppets

Get the feeling, head is reeling
You think you're in control but you don't know me babe
I can move you, I can soothe you
I can take you places in a different way 
And I don't think you understand
What I'm trying to say
I'll be your operator baby
I'm in control 
Watch your action, close reaction
And everything you're thinking babe inside your head
Conversation, my creation
Nothing that you do you do unless I said 
And you don't know the consequences
Of the things you say
I'll be your operator baby
I'm in control 
All the things you tried to do babe
And all the words we've said before
Are only part of what I started baby
And you can't stop me anymore 
Get the feeling, head is reeling
You think you're in control but you don't know me babe
I can move you, I can soothe you
I can take you places in a different way 
And I don't think you understand
What I'm trying to say
I'll be your operator baby
I'm in control

Boys Say Go!

Boys say go!
Boys say go!
Boys say go!
Boys say go! 
You don't understand
This is in demand
And I think that I have to show you 
Try to look inside
Take me for a ride
In the day and the night get to know you 
Boys meet boys get together
Boys meet boys it's forever
Don't say no
Boys say go 
I could run away
If you never stay
And the rain and the pain and the sorrow 
I'm not very sure
When you close the door
In the end it's the same as tomorrow 
Boys meet boys get together
Boys meet boys it's forever
Don't say no
Boys say go 
You don't understand
This is in demand
And I think that I have to show you 
Try to look inside
Take me for a ride
In the day and the night get to know you 
Boys meet boys get together
Boys meet boys it's forever
Don't say no
Boys say go

Nodisco

I saw you in the picture
I saw you play the part
This ain't nodisco 
There's a thousand watching you
You take this too far
This ain't nodisco 
Sometimes when I wonder if you're taking a chance
This ain't nodisco and you know how to dance 
Move me disco, baby don't you let go
This ain't nodisco 
Part one act one
Everyone pretend
This ain't nodisco 
This is more a story
And we're reaching the end
This ain't nodisco 
Always makes me happy when you're taking a chance
This ain't nodisco and you know how to dance 
Move me disco, baby don't you let go
This ain't nodisco 
I saw you in the picture
I saw you play the part
This ain't nodisco 
There's a thousand watching you
You take this too far
This ain't nodisco 
Sometimes when I wonder if you're taking a chance
This ain't nodisco and you know how to dance 
Move me disco, baby don't you let go
Move me disco, baby don't you let go
Move me disco, baby don't you let go
This ain't nodisco

What's Your Name

Sometimes watch you walk the street at midnight
Sometimes I can feel you in the air
Looking good knew you would
All the time I understood 
Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
You're so pretty 
Everybody seems to look your way now
(Everybody seems to look your way)
Everybody wants to know your name
(Hey, hey, what's your name)
Feeling bright just tonight
Hear them say you're out of sight 
Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
You're so pretty 
Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
You're so pretty 
All the boys we got to get together
All the boys together we can stand
We can go never know
All the things we need to show 
Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
You're so pretty 
Hey you're such a pretty boy (you're so pretty)
Hey you're such a pretty boy (you're so pretty)
Hey you're such a pretty boy
You're so pretty (P-R-E, double-T-Y) 
Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
You're so pretty

Photographic

A white house, a white room
The program of today
Lights on, switch on
Your eyes are far away 
The map represents you
And the tape is your voice
Follow all along you
Till you recognize the choice 
I take pictures
Photographic pictures 
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room 
I said I'd write a letter
But I never got the time
And looking to the day
I mesmerize the light 
The years I spend just thinking
Of a moment we both knew
A second passed like an empty room
It seems it can't be true 
I take pictures 
Photographic pictures 
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room 

Tora! Tora! Tora!

They were raining from the sky
Exploding in my heart
Is this the love in disguise
Or just a form of modern art 
From the skies you can almost hear their cry
Tora! Tora! Tora!
In the town they were going down
Tora! Tora! Tora! 
I had a nightmare only yesterday
You played a skeleton
You took my love then died that day
I played an American 
From the skies you can almost hear them cry
Tora! Tora! Tora!
In the town they were going down
Tora! Tora! Tora! 
I played an American
I played an American

Any Second Now [voices]

She remembered all the shadows and the doubts
The same film 
Vivid pictures like a wall that's standing empty
And the night so still 
Such a small affair, a relapse
Someone closing like the nightclub door 
Here again and when you speak
I watch you move away
And seem so sure 
She is hoping to forget
And the moment almost slips away 
When the colours move apart
And I wonder if you want to stay 
And I need to change you
Like the words I'm reading
Don't you understand 
This the warning and the message
I remember as you touch my hand

Just Can't Get Enough

When I'm with you baby, I go out of my head
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
All the things you do to me and everything you said
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough 
We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get enough 
We walk together, we're walking down the street
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
Every time I think of you I know we have to meet
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough 
It's getting hotter, it's our burning love
And I just can't seem to get enough 
And when it rains, you're shining down for me
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
Just like a rainbow you know you set me free
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough 
You're like an angel and you give me your love
And I just can't seem to get enough

Dreaming of Me

Light switch, man switch
Film was broken only then
All the night, viewed tomorrow
Dancing with a distant friend 
Filming and screening, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me 
So we left, understanding
Clean cut, some were sounding fast
Talked of sad, I talked of war
I laughed and climbed the rising cast 
Filming and screening, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me 
Quickly, I remember
Viewed that sort of face before
Timing reason, understanding
Like Association Hall 
Filming and screening, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me 
Dreaming of me (Oooh, la la la ...)
Just dreaming of me
It's only me
Just me

Ice Machine

Running through my head secretly
The shouts of the boys in the factory
I ring you on the telephone silently
Like blood, like wine in the darkroom scene 
The darkroom scene, darkroom scene 
A letter, once composed
Seven years long and as tall as a tree
Reading on the wall
Emissions, efficiency 
Efficiency, efficiency 
Resurrect, as a feeling, on my window
Of a past reunion 
Resurrect as a feeling on my window
Of a past reunion
Vision of a picture like the city
And the air we breathe 
The air we breathe, air we breathe 
She stood beside me once again
I knew her face
We met before in the street
Recalling all the children dancing at our feet 
The dancing feet, dancing feet

Shout

She was silent trying to be
Like the girl who acted on the TV
Always knowing when to say
Wishing for a moment so that they could see 
Staring in the night
A picture in my room
And I think that she knew her lines 
Break away tonight
I wanna hold your hand
We've got to get it right
We've got to understand 
Carefully watching waiting as I
Stood upon the back streets and we start to play
I was screaming louder as the
Curtains fall between us in a twisted way 
Staring in the night
A picture in my room
And I think that she knew her lines 
Break away tonight
I wanna hold your hand
We've got to get it right
We've got to understand 
Placing all the questions in the
Minutes of a game we won so long ago
Dangerous and beautiful the
Radio transmission that I have to know 
You could never run
You could never stay
And I think you belong to me 
Break away tonight
I wanna hold your hand
We've got to get it right
We've got to understand

Any Second Now

Just Can't Get Enough [schizo mix]

When I'm with you baby, I go out of my head
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
All the things you do to me and everything you said
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough 
We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get enough 
We walk together, we're walking down the street
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
Every time I think of you I know we have to meet
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough 
It's getting hotter, it's our burning love
And I just can't seem to get enough 
And when it rains, you're shining down for me
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
Just like a rainbow you know you set me free
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough 
You're like an angel and you give me your love
And I just can't seem to get enough
