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 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 03:33
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 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 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
10.
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

about

Year AF 632: It's dark outside. There are no stars peeking through the curtain of light pollution. The stifling city hums, as always, with a million Alphas, Betas and Gammas and despite my permanently monitored identity phone I feel alone. I’m on my way to meet Thomas Jerome Newton, a man who has been waiting a very, long time, 200 years perhaps, to find his way home. He’s 'The Visitor’ ......and he's truly alone.
The number of sky-buses is slowly declining as the artificial light recedes into the black void. In a world of virtual relationships, where ambition and reality are held in suspension by a continuous feed of now state-owned brands, none of us are allowed to own anything of status. I read on the digital Info-Board for the 95th time today that 'We already have everything we need'.
Normally it would be time to take my Soma and lapse into Deja-vu but I choose, however, to take a walk on the plastic beach and shortly reach the Domes. The power and wealth of the United Regions has left the world unstable, war-torn and polluted. We are soulless, controlled and without personal identity. I stand in the shadows and wait for 'The Visitor'.........
