Missing Link

I had a heart but I buried it someplace
I had a brain but my body won the race
I dream in pictures, pictures of you
A figure of eight just won't do
Oh yeah, oh yeah

You picked the fruit that gave you a sweet taste
You walk the tightrope unwilling to see straight
You pick me up then you pull me down
Made up your mind that i'm the clown
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Accidentally, we talked about the past
Accidentally, we talked about the past
Accidentally, we talked too much
"Was it magic that redefined,
 the missing link to blow your mind"

You had a dream and you thought it religious
You had a taste and it made it contagious
It rips you up then it spits you out
makes you know what it's all about
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Accidentally, we walked away too fast
Accidentally, we walked away too fast
Accidentally, we took too much
"Was it magic that redefined,
 the missing link to blow your mind"

Accidentally, we talked about the past
Accidentally, we talked about the past
Accidentally, we talked about the past
Accidentally, we took too much
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

"Was it magic that redefined,
 the missing link to blow your mind
 Was there tragedy in the things we did
 Now I know there's no place for it" 

Crystal

There she is in the doghouse
She sure don't know what she's done wrong
Still she lies in the doghouse
Don't think that she can carry on

She holds you down
to free your soul
The hand of god
will make you whole
Here I am in the doghouse
I sure don't know what i've done wrong

"Crystal only ever smiles
through her eyes
crystal only ever lies
through her mouth
just no one sees it"

May I fight for my honour
without the pity you show
May I beg for my dinner
when the feeling takes me so

Just saying sorry
won't ever be enough
Just saying sorry
won't ever be enough
You have squandered my love

"Crystal only ever smiles
through her eyes
crystal only ever lies
through her mouth
just no one sees it"

No one ever want
No one ever needed her
Just saying sorry won't ever be enough

Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus

Turn it up turn it down
Switch it on switch it off
Called a friend threw the phone
Cut me down i'm lost

I retire you resign
I win you lose
Break it up break it down
Men are from mars, women are from venus

Show me up drag you round
I smile, you frown
Never have I known such a liar
such a liar such a liar
Men are from mars, women are from venus
We won't be happy till we kill each other
Men are from mars

It's the never ending stories
that will be our greatest glory
and our children will believe us
because they know that we can teach trust
The point to living freely
is to hope that we'll see clearly
and manage information
for the next generation

All Of One

Do we see the sun when our days begun
do we hear their voice it seems we have little choice
Far and wide the tide is turning
the long and short wires burning
Please be all of one now that our work is done

Nailed down you melt into the room
distance has made a route for you
Tied down you fall into the trap 
and let yourself dissolve to black
"You told me I knew nothing at all
you told me I meant nothing at all
and I believed you"

Tell me how you know the only way to go
We are all just scum who've come to wipe away your fun
Far and wide the tide is turning
Please be all of one

Nailed down you melt into the room 
distance has made a route for you 
Tied down you fall into the trap
and let yourself dissolve to black

Unreadable Communication

When you hear the way the others talk,
it makes you wonder what they bothered for
When you see the way opinion swings,
it makes you strive strive strive for greater things
I wasn't born to be good enough for you
I am here to be nobody's fool

When you see the way that loose lips talk,
it makes you cry cry cry for it all to stop
I would like to invite you
to my mother's house
to my bedroom
to play those old records
we know all the words to
and I would like you to kiss me
to crush me to lick me
till I beg you to stop
till you drive me crazy

That's all it take
a subtle movement
That's all it takes
to make the programme

When you hear the way loose lips talk
it makes you wonder what you bothered for
When you see the way opinion swings
it makes you strive strive strive for greater things
That's all it takes
a subtle movement
That's all it takes
to make the programme 

Turkey Crossing

All my friends are english
I heard you say that
and you stand beyond reproach
With everything considered
you don't think you've done badly for yourself
You should consider it an honour

I'm finished with you please be finished with me
All my traits are charming
I know you know that
They live beyond their means
You might consider that a failure
I've had it with you you've had it with me
What shall it be
What shall it be
What shall it be
What shall it be
All my friends are heathens
they like to know that
It keeps them safe from harm
and that just might mean everything
I'm finished with you please be finished with me
I've had it with you you've had it with me
That just might mean everything

Superblaster

I will reach out
to switch you on
I will reach out
till you come
I will reach out
to turn you on
I will reach out
until you come
We're the masters
of the superblaster

"Don't start playing games
 you can't finish
 Don't open doors
 when you don't know what's waiting
 Don't try to close your hands
 they're smaller than the rain
 Have you got anything left to say
 before I shoot myself"

I will reach out
to find the truth
I will reach out
to steal your youth
We're the masters
of the superblaster
"Don't start playing games
 you can't finish
 Don't open doors
 when you don't know what's waiting
 Don't try to close your hands
 they're smaller than the rain
 Have you got anything left to say
 oh no
 oh no"

I will reach out
to switch you on
I will reach out
to steal your youth
And that's the god's honest truth
We're the masters
of the superblaster

Left Of Mother

Left of mother right for you
What I offer you can't lose
For all you know I could have changed

How about you
Hey how about that
Hey how about you

Carefree lovers understand
that no one bothered to make a plan
For all I know you could have changed
What do you say

Hey how about that
Hey what about you
Hey what do you say
Hey how about it

Call me left field
Something familiar and undemanding
That's why you like me and find me so amusing
unlike the dog you used to kick at home
When your mother was nagging
and you were begging for it to stop
All I know is nothing has changed

How about that
Hey what about you
Hey how about it
Hey how about you
Hey what do you say

You can't say anything to contain my mind
You can try and strip me bare
till you think you know my kind
but I will never be yours
No I will never be yours
You only picked me
because i'm the nearest
and you're lazy
You only picked me
because you can't see clearly
I'm anything but your kind

Sweetest Pie

If i'm careful I won't hate you
When i'm gracious you won't dare to
Play your little game
Play your little game
Play your little game
with my mind
Oh oh oh oh
When i'm truthful i'm a loser
If i'm honest you can bet I can fool you
Don't you know
"I'm thinking very long thinking very hard
 oh no
 Moving very slow moving very fast
 oh no
 I'm thinking very long thinking very hard
 oh no
 Moving very slow moving very fast
 oh no"
When i'm useful
I can't wait to
Give a little pain
Give a little pain
Give a little pain
to your kind
"Oh no
 I'm thinking very long
 thinking very hard
 oh no
 Moving very slow
 Moving very fast
 oh no
 I'm thinking very long
 thinking very hard
 oh no
 Moving very slow
 Moving very fast
 oh no"
 I'm thinking very big
 thinking very small
 thinking everything's gonna be alright
 I'm thinking very small
 thinking very big
 thinking everything's gonna be as sweet as pie
Sweetest pie
Sweetest pie
Thinking very small
thinking very big
thinking very long
thinking very hard
thinking very small
thinking very big
Moving very slow
Moving very fast

Cuckoo

I was never just an ordinary girl
who underwent a transformation
I always thought I could see the stars
and watch them grow in my hands
"but my mind was bigger than the world
my choice was being born a girl"

When will I ever learn the truth
without the fiction without the friction without the fiction
When it's the same as before
I conquer nothing or all
"but my mind was bigger than the world
my choice was being born a girl"

I like to watch
so nothing can hurt me
I understand
when your patience deserts you
I think i've loved
but i'm not so sure
can someone tell me
what i'm here for

I was never just an ordinary girl
who underwent a transformation
"but my mind was bigger tan the world
my choice was being born a girl"

You deserted me
left me on the street
To be what I would be
you never gave me your time
made me feel dirty and unkind

To feel the way I do about you
has numbed me to all that's beautiful
To feel the way I feel about you
has made me wonder what I have to do
To feel the way I do about you
To feel the way I do about you
