Watching for the Man
Took a sky bus out to the dome last night
Plastic beach shone like a fluorescent light
Down to Mars and up to Vein
Don't get observed if we act the same
Chorus
Slowly I watch the time - waiting for a sign
Standing behind the line - when I'm watching for that man
Countdown to five to nine - he cuts it oh so fine ....
I'm stood here watching for my man
Found his songs on a cyber library
Sounded sort of like an alien message to me
Placed a trace on the Spider's web
"Let's meet up late" was all he said
Chorus
The 'Visitor' still looks the same
"Hey Mr Newton...is that still your name? "
Chorus
Watching for that man
Watching for the man
Catch him - catch him if you can
I'm watching for - watching for that man

Emotion is a negative thing
Every time I take my soma I am - in a nicer place
Happier people with happier faces - no one's in a race
Travelating down the street - alphas, betas, gammas I meet
And so every time I take my Soma I get - state controlled relief
You know - I've got no fears, no anger or tears. I've got no soul , I've got no belief
Chorus
Emotion is a negative thing
Better with Conditioning
There's no God so nobody can sin
Emotion is a negative thing
If one's different, one's bound to be lonely - that's how I feel
Once a day I'm emotionally scored - feel only love for Freud and Ford
Chorus
I am I - but I wish I weren't
Where are the books from which we once learnt ?
Chorus
Don't want comfort, want danger and freedom - and I want to steal
Everyone belongs to everyone else - that's not how I feel
Don't want comfort, want danger and freedom - and I want to steal
Everyone belongs to everyone else - that's not how I feel
That's not how I feel - that's not how I feel - that's not how I feel - that's not how I feel

Brave New World
Download more of her memory
Go back in time - when her body was young - and so was her mind
Silicon chips with everything - everything's just fine
Cos nothing can end - we won't run out of time
Chorus
I don't mind that she's gone
She's still here - doing no wrong
I still have - what's in her head
She lays with me - in our virtual bed
(It's a brave new world oh yeah)
A small dose of alpha knowledge base
Cytronic free - Is 'AI' all it's cracked up to be?
She exists in standard digi-pack
Insert life form device and hey - you've got your wife back
Chorus
Everyone works for everyone else
For the World State you give your life
Mustpha Mond - please meet my wife
Chorus

Starlight Rendezvous
Heard it in my head when I was nearly five
Told me I was normal - just to be alive
Everybody say they make you stay - till you die - ummmm - yeah
A member of the caste - no more, no less
Measuring wealth by happiness
A true, blank canvas that's culture-less - makes me cry. makes me cry.
Now, now that I've found - every day just comes and goes around
I just need that underground in my face - sing it to me yeah
All, all that I see , and all that I hear just washes over me
You'd better find your way - cos I'm gone
Chorus
Starlight Rendezvous - a crater of a gig on Planet Blue
I just want to rock n roll with you that's all, that's all
Starlight Rendezvous- hit me once again with your deja vu
I just want to rock n roll with you that's all, let's have a ball
Grip me, chip me, psychologically strip me
My social capital is added discreetly
Every 12 minutes I must check to see you're still there - yeah yeah
Analogue minds and a digital face
Planet blues boiling - it's a chilling place
Two minutes to midnight is a very, very, very short time
Now, now that I've found - every day just comes and goes around
I just need that underground in my face - sing it to me yeah
All, all that I see , and all that I hear just washes over me
You'd better find your way - cos I'm gone
Chorus

Breaking me down

Breaking me down
Here I stand - alone in a no man's land
Free to roam - a million miles from home
I drink myself stupid but still I'm alive
I hope darling you can survive
Chorus
It's breaking me down
Slowly taking me down
I said it's breaking me down
Slowly taking me down
So long ago - they just gave up and let me go
If I could find - another brilliant human mind
I will live more than 200 hundred earth years
Still time to return and push new frontiers
Chorus

Hallucialienation
Sometimes I just wander - back to where I left her
I don't know what I'll find.
If I clear my mind then - I fool myself to love again
Take a moment's rest and break it down.
Sometimes I can see that there's someone in the light.
But I try to free myself and find a way.
It's taking so much time and I'm trying to believe
But I know that things can never be the same.
Life can be hard to - find some space and pull through
Every time I feel you - you're not really there
Tripping over lovers - lost in endless summer
Each day makes it harder to bare

Night Nurse
Taking the night nurse
Each night it's getting worse and worse
Taking the night nurse
He tries and tries to lift its curse
His life he wishes he could reverse
More and more he quenches his thirst
Chorus
And everyday he's blessed for every breath he takes
For him it's oh so real / there's nothing he can fake
He's so certain now - it was such a big mistake
Wonders if he'll make it back - oh everything just aches yeah
Taking the night nurse
Taking the night nurse
In the early evening he tries her purse
Taking the night nurse
No chorus comes just the same old verse
So long ago the bubble burst
One final journey left in a hearse
Chorus

Man who fell to earth

Man who fell to Earth
Blinded by a flash of lightning
Half man half alien exciting
Such a pretty thing that fell to earth
Jumbled words sung loose and cockney
Hanging on to Warhol and Hockney
He was the man that fell to earth
Chorus
Listening in my room he pierced the dark
The dogs they bark
A boy insane / more sweet Jane
I can't help but be an oddity
Give me space
Another face / rock with me
Sell the world / Pinup the flunky
The golden years of a thin white junkie
Yes ..he was the man who sold the world
Hunky dory hero calling
Space boy watch the stardust falling
Sent by the man who fell to earth
Chorus
Under pressure, fame and fashion
In the same car always crashing
You were the man who fell to earth
Sound and vision / boys keep swinging
Return to Black Star / End of mission.
That was the man who fell to earth
Yes he was the man who fell to earth

Life in a day

Life in a day
Sounds of the city and the vision on blind
I'm gender neutral with a hero to find
I hope you don't mind if your heart beats slow
Twenty four hours is the minimum go - I said
Break the code and a peploid appears
Who trades in lives for tears for fears
The sensory feeders leaking blow by blow
Where am I now in this afterglow
Chorus
Life in a day is a day too long
Finding a place where you just belong
Updating / mutating
Won't get far in your driver-less car because
The soundtrack stops when you play a guitar
Got your neighbour rocking and knocking all night
Better vapourise or lean to the right
Phone surveillance on your mobile drone
The view is something which you taste alone
Girl meets boy through an endless mess
Entertainment at its very best
Chorus

Thirst for you

Thirst for you
And I, I try to find a way
Just make a wish - for all the things I miss
Somewhere there's a light
I fumble in the dark for one last kiss
I'm on the edge of falling down
Chorus
Cos all I ever wanted - was to find my way home
To be again with you
It's so hard here alone
And I can't find my way home but I'll try. - yes I'll try -
Umm and I- never want to lose the fight
That leads me to be there with you
Keep hanging on - just believe I'm still in love
Chorus
Keep hanging on - just believe I'm still in love
Chorus
And all I ever think of - are the sands of time
Where the desert grows - and I still thirst for you
I still thirst for you - I still thirst for you - I still thirst for you
