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

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...
