. Girls On Film

   
 

See them walking hand in hand

Across the bridge at midnight

Heads turning as the lights flashing out

Are so bright

And walk right out to the four line track

There's a camera rolling on her back

On her back

And I sense a rhythm humming in a frenzy

All the way down her spine

Girls on Film

Girls on Film

Girls on Film

Girls on Film

Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling

And miles of sharp blue water coming in

Where she lies

The diving man's coming up for air

'Cause the crowd all love pulling Dolly by the hair

By the hair

And she wonders how she ever got here

As she goes under again

Girls on Film (Two minutes later)

Girls on Film

Girls on Film (Got your picture)

Girls on Film

Wider, baby, smile and you've just made a million

Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire

Take one last glimpse into the night

I'm touching close

I'm holding bright, holding tight

Give me shudders in a whisper,

Take me up til I'm shooting a star

Girls on Film (she's more than a lady)

Girls on Film

Girls on Film (Two minutes later)

Girls on Film

Girls on Film (see you together)

Girls on Film

Girls on Film (see you later)

2. Planet Earth

Only came outside to watch the night fall with the rain

I heard you making patterns rhyme

like some new romantic looking for the tv sound

you'll see I'm right some other time

look now, look all around, there's no sign of life

voices, another sound, can you hear me now?

this is planet earth, you're looking at planet earth

bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth

my head is stuck on something precious

let me know if you're coming down to land

is there anybody out there trying to get through?

my eyes are so cloudy I can't see you

look now, look all around, there's no sign of life

voices, another sound, can you hear me now?

is is planet earth, you're looking at planet earth

bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop

this is planet earth

bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop

this calling planet earth

bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop

this looking at planet earth

bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop

this is planet earth

3. Anyone Out There

I never found out what made you leave

And now the day is over just an hour to go

I tried to phone last night but you didn't answer

Just left me ringing on the line

Outside is there anyone out there
anyone else outside
Outside love is there anyone out there
anyone else outside

My face in the mirror shows a break in time
A crack in the ocean which does not align
I tried to sleep last night
but I've caught your dreaming
About days we used to wonder away

Outside is there anyone out there
anyone else outside
Outside love is there anyone out there
anyone else outside

Look maybe my name

Out of the window you can call by your
Another babe coves in vain
night over another light oh in vain
Oh I tried to phone last night but you never answered
Just
Left me ringing in the air (outside)

Is there anyone out there
(Anyone out there)

.Careless Memories

So soon,

just after you've gone

my senses sharpen

But it always takes

so damned long

before I feel how much

my eyes have darkened

Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke

drifting in our room

so easy to disturb

with a thought

with a whisper...

with a careless memory

On the table

signs of love life scattered...

and the walls break

we go crashing within

It's not as though--

as though you really mattered

But being close,

how could I let you go

without some feeling

some precious sympathy following

Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke

drifting in our room

so easy to disturb

with a thought

with a whisper...

with a careless memory

I walk out into the sun

I try to find a new day

but the whole place

it just screams in my eyes

where are you now?

cuz I don't want to meet you

I think I'd die--

I think I'd laugh at you--

I think I'd cry--

What am I supposed to do,

follow you?

Outside the thoughts

come flooding back now...

I just try to forget you...

So easy to disturb

with a thought...

with a whisper...

with a careless memory...

5. Night Boat

Standing...

on the edge of the quay

no lights flashing

on the water for me

fog in my mind

darkens in my eyes

silently screaming

for a distant sound

ripple river yellow--

rising for a breath

of breeding and drowns

stillness overcome me

in the night

listen...

to the rising water moan

I'm waiting

waiting, for the nightboat

I'm waiting

waiting, for the nightboat

Shadows all through me

shudder away

echo me, echo me...

am I alone,

or is the river alive?

cuz it echoes me, echoes me--

echoes me...

I'm waiting

waiting, for the nightboat

I'm waiting

waiting, for the nightboat

I'm waiting...

waiting for the nightboat..

I'm waiting...

waiting for the nightboat....

I'm waiting for the nightboat...

 

6. Sound of Thunder

I've been in this grass here for the last 10 hours

My clothes are dirty but my mouth isn't dry

How does it happen? Does it fly through the air?

Oh I gave up asking days away

I gave up asking

Days away

And now I'm lying here waiting for the Sound of Thunder

Waiting for the Sound of Thunder

Here I am, I'm a dotted line

Cut the corner, stick me to your door

I'm the man who stepped off the path

and I just lie here

It's what I was made for

And now my eyes are closing, but I still feel the land

Leaning out for the touch of my hand

The world spins so fast that I might fly off

The world spins so fast that I might fly off

The world spins so fast, I might fly off

Waiting for the Sound of Thunder

I'm waiting for the Sound of Thunder

I'm waiting for the Sound of Thunder

I'm waiting for the Sound of Thunder

I'm waiting for the Sound of Thunder

I'm waiting for the Sound of Thunder

I'm waiting for the Sound of Thunder

fade out

 

7. Friends of Mine

friends of mine

They said they were friends of mine

Said they were passing time

More like a waste of time

Close the door

I said close the door

I've told you twice before

What are you waiting for?

Georgie Davies is coming out

No more heroew, we twist and shout

Oh no, not me, I'm not too late,

And I know that I'm not taking any more

Rocky Picture has lost his gun

Leave him out now, he's having fun

Oh no, not me, I'm not too late

And I know that I'm not waiting any more

Hey hey

Through the eyes

Don't have to advertise

When will you realize

I'm sick of your alibis?

Running cold

The water's running cold

It's time that you were told

I think you're growing old

Georgie Davies is coming out

No more heroes, we twist and shout

Oh no, not me, I'm not too late,

And I know that I'm not waiting any more

Rocky Picture has lost his gun

Leave him out now, he's having fun

Oh no, not me, I'm not too late,

And I know that I'm not taking any more

Hey hey

(pictures on the wall

they're all friends of yours

see them sell your alibi

it runs you by

think yourself lucky!)

 

Friends of mine

They said they were friends of mine

They were just wasting time

Out on the dotted line

The money's gone

I've known it all along

Why don't you say I'm wrong?

Why don't they drop the bomb?

'Cause Georgie Davies is coming out

No more heroes, we twist and shout,

Oh no, not me, I'm not too late,

and I know that I'm not waiting any more

Rocky Picture's thrown away his gun

Leave him out now, he's having fun

Oh no, not me, I'm not too late,

And I know that I'm not taking any more

What you doing, friends of mine

Holding back now, friends of mine

I've always heard you calling...
