The Leader 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Call out the guard Wake up the cops Summon the troops Everybody stops Hidden out of town But the network is down Tracked from the air Friendly fire in the square Here comes a man With a gun in his hand Saviour with a plan Draws a line in the sand War’s another kind of thrill The leader said A shady city on a hill Its soul is dead You’re so needy you could fall for it But he’s protected and he’s full of shit Names all blacked out Never doubt the leader’s way Faces recognised Undisguised power play Last barricade Their parade Blown away Here comes a man With a gun in his hand Saviour with a plan Draws a line in the sand War’s another kind of thrill The leader said A shady city on a hill Its soul is dead You’re so needy you could fall for it But he’s protected and he’s full of shit Blood in the sand In a land Turned to dust Save us from harm Red alarm Poison trust He’s not to blame We all came And this is fate No second thought We are caught And it’s too late There went a man With a gun in his hand Prince without a plan Drew a line in the sand War’s another kind of thrill Until you’re dead A shining city on a hill The leader said I knew for certain that you’ll fall for it Cos I’m corrupted and I’m full of shit

Soul child living on the edge Her heart full of pretty pleases House sound Driving through the town We're down With Party Jesus There's no plan Who's in charge Soul man living in a loft He adds to his releases Kick drum never lets up Gonna smash us all to pieces Now it starts All the world is locked up tight But the boys and the girls Are turning out All the fear is gone tonight And the State Police Are burning out All the world's on high alert But the boys and the girls Are showing up Wear your gear and don't get hurt Now the party lines Are blowing up I would love to hold your hand In your red and golden land You are right and they are wrong We must be strong Top gun living in the sun His army so high and mighty Disk drive, hotel fun He looks so whitey tighty There's no plan Who's in charge Class act putting on a show All lies, but lies are power See how low he can go Sells out in half an hour Now it starts All the world is locked up tight But the boys and the girls Are turning out All the fear is gone tonight And the State Police Are burning out All the world's on high alert But the boys and the girls Are showing up Wear your gear and don't get hurt Now the party lines Are blowing up I would love to hold your hand In your red and golden land You are right and they are wrong We must be strong Film girl helping us survive She tip-toes around the rubble No one got out of here alive But still she took the trouble There's no plan Who's in charge Tech guy hiding in his cave He's fearful of all diseases Kick drum never lets up Gonna smash us all to pieces

Follow me I'm going down Follow me To Camden Town Come with us We're going down Going down In Camden Town When the lights turn blue And the world revolves And I'm true to you And the pain dissolves On the plane of sound There is space for love You were lost and found There's still time enough In the cool of green And the rush of red Night flight into dreams Dancing in my head Loved up in the groove In electric air Bodies start to move No one seems to care Follow me I'm breaking through Ecstatically I'm here with you Come along Escape is real The beat is strong Hypnotic feel When the lights go black And the world explodes And I need you back And my soul corrodes On the plane of fear There is space for hate You weren't even here Didn't even wait But the cool of green And the rush of red Fly me into dreams Dancing in my head Loved up in the groove In electric air Bodies start to move I don't seem to care Slow down Deep breath Hold back Soul death When the lights turn blue And the world revolves And I'm true to you And the pain dissolves On the plane of sound There is space for love You were lost and found There's still time enough In the cool of green And the rush of red Night flight into dreams Dancing in my head Loved up in the groove In electric air Bodies start to move No one seems to care

Scar 03:45

Blackened bricks A room for kicks Get your clicks It's so shiny and empty now Dank and dark Tried to leave a mark Caught a fatal spark Can you remember how Finger nails Going off the rails No more happy tales Just a hole in our history Down and out We can scream and shout Leave no room for doubt Just a stain on the road to see I thought maybe I'd leave some trace Give me somewhere To hide my face Native sound Crashing all around We could hit the ground Or be buried forever here Near or far There's no other Scar And you know what you are You're deadening atmosphere I'm not going To leave this place I will always Be in your face You're all lying You're in the red And while I'm dying I'm in your head Money lies Power fries The music dies You've got to get over it Freedom sighs Lovers' cries Illegal highs You've got to love eating shit I thought maybe I'd leave some trace Give me somewhere To hide my face You're all guilty You're sad, you're dead But I'm not done yet I'm in your head

Black leather goth girl In the market hall She could live here forever If she lived at all And a cowboy from Belgium In a white T-shirt Getting smashed for the weekend In the Camden dirt Boots in the sky, you're frightened Lovers run by, enlightened Robots go bad, we fear them Lovers go mad, we hear them Walk on by, street scene Lifetime high, be seen Underground tube stop Ballroom blitz, bass drop You're on fire, I'm cool Hot desire, old school Band of the moment plays downstairs No money left but then who cares Girl with a Gibson In a music pub Riffing two chords an hour She can join the club Gang of pretenders In a white limo Getting down with the hipsters By the lock below We're here too late, we know it Our lovers' fate, we blow it Alice has gone, forever Please kiss me now, or never Walk on by, street scene Lifetime high, be seen Underground tube stop Ballroom blitz, bass drop You're on fire, I'm cool Hot desire, old school Band of the moment plays downstairs No money left but then who cares Why don't we stay here This feels like home Telegram Sam Is in the Hawley Arms And his iPhone is buzzing In his sweaty palms There's a cut-out of Amy Looking out upstairs But the action is elsewhere So his girlfriend swears Boots in the sky, we're frightened Lovers run by, enlightened Robots go bad, we fear them Lovers go mad, we hear them You're on fire, I'm cool Hot desire, old school Band of the moment plays downstairs No money left but then who cares

Cool and sharp And dressed to kill Rich and strange You seek to thrill Take your pick I'll pay the bill Don't pretend You didn't know This is how the party goes And we all love The things you do Drag the carpet From the floor You won't need it Any more You're the one That I adore Don't pretend You didn't know This is how the party goes And we all love The work you do Get on the bus Don't make a fuss Get on the bus You belong to us Young and bright You have no friends Cold heart calling Means to ends Trust in us We know the trends You might live But that depends Worldly, weary Stuffed with fame We can play But it's my game If we fail then You're to blame Don't complain You're all the same

The world's alight With friendly flame In changeless night We're all the same Take the picture now Show them all that this is how No one breaks us Nothing shakes us This is how we live How we love And how we die We're not at home We're all at sea There's nowhere else That we can be Star-struck, screwed up Wasted, used up Crash on through life But we stick together Hold still Hold tight Hold still Hold tight Take the picture now to Show them all that this is how I act bravely You will save me This is how we live How we love And how we die Star-struck, screwed up Wasted, used up Crash on through life But we stick together Hold still Hold tight Hold still Hold tight Take the picture now Show them all that this is how I act bravely You will save me This is how we live How we love And how we die

Warm We wake together The day expects Behind the curtain This story is Of a world where Fear is banished Happiness certain Self gratification Is every person's dream But it comes with Wealth and privilege And inheritance is the key We have the chances That you never did To squander and to misuse However we see fit I might not be so obvious Here in Camden Town The headless little rich kid In whose pocket is a crown But here I'm masquerading Slumming with my poshing best Does it matter we don't know life Simply drain it from the rest We're here whilst we want Spaffing money up the wall One thing to be sure of is that We won't fall I have a flat in Kentish Town now Walk down the hill To where it happens The buzz I get Is most uplifting I dress right down And cruise the taverns And when you see me You would never guess That I am a rich man And I couldn't care less We have the chances That you never did To squander and to misuse However we see fit I might not be so obvious Here in Camden Town The headless little rich kid In whose pocket is a crown But here I'm masquerading Slumming with my poshing best Does it matter we don't know life Simply drain it from the rest We're here whilst we want Spaffing money up the wall One thing to be sure of is that We will never fall Stand back mere plebs We will never fall

The warm, caressing breeze Slipped through the Overhanging trees In the city of our days Across its dancing waterways Now it's gone, now it's past We were there, it didn't last Footpath jogging in the dark You found me sleeping in the park It happened so fast Live all summer long On the canal Her dragon song Barge of red and gold My unicorn You don't get old Drift again downstream In the power Of a dream Ripples of the sun River fun We'd just begun Happy, bright and blue Like all the children at the zoo The city wrapped us in its arms Revealed its warm forbidden charms Now we're gone, we are the past We're not there, we didn't last Boozy picnic by the lake They said they did it for your sake We went far too fast Live all summer long On the canal Her dragon song Barge of red and gold My unicorn You won't get old Drift again downstream The fading glow Of a dream Ripples of the sun We thought we'd won We'd just begun And the bridge by the park We blew it up in the dark Live all summer long On the canal Her dragon song Barge of red and gold My unicorn You can't get old Drift again downstream The fading power Of a dream Ripples of the sun On the run We'd just begun

The Gates 03:42

Jangly old music has Gone black and brown Toned down Caught in a spell Thumping new melodies Heard about town Pumped up Madder than hell Shredding the air And uncovering enemies Bad tempered hymns turn to Blood tainted elegies Rage in the air And you can't turn it down This is what they can sell Rousing cacophony Fit for the role Dumbed down Nothing to say Innocent songs that don't Poison your soul Shot down Taken away I want you back Stand and fight Our friends are calling Cloud capped towers And walls are falling Nothing can stand In their way now They've got the look And the know-how The mirror's cracked The gates are open Girl from the fringes Who washed up in Quinn's Numb, dumb Wrapped up in mystery Love of my life Looking out for my sins Sucked down Into conspiracy I want you back Gate crashing Street trashing Fear slashing Blood gashing Chord clashing Face smashing Crowd rousing Gas dousing I want you back Stand and fight Our friends are calling Cloud capped towers And walls are falling Nothing can stand In their way now They've got the look And the know-how The mirror's cracked The gates are open I want you back

Don't look back Don't go there No, don't look The pictures only lie now so Don't break down I'm here for you Don't break I didn't mean to show you Taxi lights and tower heights And stumble up the stairs together Indoor ferns and carpet burns And life should be like this forever Don't look sad You've lost nothing Don't cry The memories should die now Don't waste time It runs from us Don't wait It didn't change a thing for us Crazy nights and lovers' fights And fumble in the sheets together Lovesick times and playful crimes And words that mean The world forever Drunken days, romantic haze And tumble in the streets together Riotous acts and solemn pacts And love should be like this forever Don't turn back Your future's here Don't turn We didn't mean to End it all so suddenly Reckless schemes and Hopeless dreams And trashing friends And foes together Smashing ties and vicious lies And we can't run like that forever Don't look back It's all here but Don't look The pictures tell the truth now so Don't look back It's all here but Don't look It doesn't mean a thing to us now

Streetscape stumble Trip and fumble You and I set off today On a long and a winding road To Avalon, Arcadia Or somewhere just as good Hold my hand I am glad That it's you I'll be travelling with and Let's share our plans With our fans Who'll be rooting for us All the way through Three a.m. and Night is out to play The Hawley Arms Lifts off and flies away The market shoots Its laser beams and I want to stay forever In your sweet dreams Don't forget the Solemn pledge we made I'm Captain Kirk You're Krill the Ocean Maid Our ship is parked At Morrison's And I think we ought to Get on it right now Rough and tumble Lovestruck humble Here in outer space There's no place For homeless people Down there on the ground Get your head smashed For a pound Hold my hand I am glad That it's you I'll be travelling with and And while we're away We might pray That the world will rearrange itself People say it's all so easy But we know it isn't so They cling to things That don't matter much Let them go, like so... Three a.m. and Night is out to play The Hawley Arms Lifts off and flies away The market shoots Its laser beams and I want to stay forever In your sweet dreams Don't forget the Solemn pledge we made I'm Captain Kirk You're Krill the Ocean Maid Our ship is parked At Morrison's And I think we ought to Get on it right now Moonlight covers Life force lovers Space flight, cold, dark Empty car park

Being Angry 03:36

People coming into view Trigger memories of your youth Times you spent and didn't care Swearing to return a stare Smash the fascists and anarchy Things uniting you and me Claiming dole and living cheap Daytime being the time to sleep Wheel chair racers Crash and stumble Drunken punken people play Once I had my bondage trousers Margarine, it spiked my hair Hey, I don't care if I'm getting old I will go on but now feel the cold Is this what I'm becoming OK, I'll keep on being angry Cheap cider is the drink of choice Gets you there and gives you voice A bottle for six won't get you pissed But uses time up you've not missed Three chords is all you play With rebellious attitude And something to say Wheel chair racers Crash and stumble Drunken punken people play Once I had my bondage trousers Margarine, it spiked my hair But I don't care if I'm getting old I will go on but now feel the cold Is this what I'm becoming OK, but I'll keep being angry Memories of pubs we played Pissed up people getting laid Waking up the morning after Struggling to join the laughter Hangovers now are of the past Hair is thinning, greying fast The man who's always been inside Takes his eyes and opens wide Coz I don't care that I'm getting old I will go on but now feel the cold Is this what I'm becoming OK, but I'll keep being angry

Queues go around the corner Stretching right past the pub Ticket touts are out prowling With punters for the nightclub Shuffling forward slowly Excitement builds up Glinting eyes are shining All are one in hope Darkness is alluring Drawing you to the bar Get some beer for your mates Shoving will get you far If you wanted to You could see right through Charm is my veneer Helps to hide the fear Winning ways I use Mean I never lose Keeps the cold at bay Anxious thoughts away I've found a way in life Holds me back from strife Feeling good right now Is all I need somehow The future I don't know Need a place to go The person I will be Drifting through this sea Support bands always suffer Not the reason we're there I like to check them out though Most of my mates don't care Pushing is starting to happen The main band is on stage Claustrophobia feeling Excitement is engaged Jumping and dancing always Makes me loose myself Feeling the bass in my ribcage My currency my wealth If you wanted to You could see right through Charm is my veneer Helps to hide the fear Winning ways I use Mean I never lose Keeps the cold at bay Anxious thoughts away I've found a fix for life Holds me back from strife Feeling good right now Is all I need somehow The future I don't know Need a place to go The person I will be Drifting through this sea Feeling part of the body Altogether in one Moving, time doesn't matter Enjoying this sun Losing yourself in this way Leaving your woes at the door Anxiety is not potent Veneer works all the more Easy going and happy Charming the girls around me Cheeky chappy can flourish Personality they can see Dancing and music save me Taking me where I will go Hiding under the cover That way you will not know I have found a way in life Holds me back from strife Feeling good right now Is all I need somehow

Come along and get it A thrill is on its way You know you're going to feel good It's a bam bam bam You've heard all the stories The music and folklore The legends that surround it Thrill and scare you all the more It's there for the taking Can't you see it drip Stick your tongue out baby And enjoy your very first sip Mmm, now you lick your lips And smile from side to side Get ready for the spine change On your very own ticket to ride Now for sure you're feeling high The world around you can't pass by You might feel scared You won't get through But this will be The making of you Now you're feeling different The round becomes a hole Your feeling the excitement Seeing light just like a mole Friends are seeming distant You sense you are alone Going on the journey That will eventually lead home Lights shine up from down below Tying you to the ground You've made it to the top now And lost calm is what you've found Time to come back down again Rejoin the mundane world with Your friends you can be safe again In silence not a word Now for sure you're feeling high The world around you can't pass by You might feel scared You won't get through But this will be The making of you Now the dawn is breaking As you cross the great divide It's time we started walking To find a quiet place to hide We move along the water With no one yet around Steering straight in one direction Knowing where we're bound Fashion has a funny way Of dressing up the day We don't give a damn You can all think what you may Drawing the experience It's all been done before But now that you've come through it You've come through the war It's there for the taking Can't you see it drip Stick your tongue out baby And enjoy your very first sip Mmm, now you lick your lips And smile from side to side Get ready for the spine change On your very own ticket to ride

Play that song The one that breaks The hearts of all who hear Slow burn bass The ceiling shakes Sweet melody of fear Here comes the liberation This one's for you We fight on the other side But this is still true The preachers and The prophets move To the rock and rolling Devil's groove Don't slow down Til the edge of town We are lost but not found And we know how we sound But it's... All for the greater glory Fall down the money hole Sell out your morning story Suck up a starring role I don't need this You do it for me Play that tune The one that rocks The one we hate so much Killing drums and Crushing dreams No body left untouched Here comes the liberation This one's for you We fight on the other side But all this is true The liars and the Freakshow crowd Do the rock and rolling Devil proud The phone keeps ringing And the girls keep singing And the girls are pretty And they love our city All for the greater glory Fall down the money hole Sell out your morning story Suck up a starring role I don't want them You do them for me Play that riff The one that rings As if we stood a chance Rip our fingers On the strings To teach the world to dance Here comes the liberation This is for you You're stuck on the losing side And this is all true The hucksters and The party mob Do the rock and rolling Devil's job All for the greater glory Fall down the money hole Sell out your morning story Suck up a starring role I don't need this You do it for me All for the greater glory Fall down the money hole Sell out your morning story Suck up a starring role I don't want this You eat it for me

Mist in the morning Magical warning Cameras like dewdrops Mystical psy-ops Nobody looks at me I'm on the run High visibility Under the gun Spies and thieves And detectives follow me Lies and leaves Choke the air below me And the city Fades into the haze Lightning clouds for Primrose days I can't stop them You won't help me I don't know if I am guilty Stand forlorn One last look Rain comes on Close my book Spells, incantations Dark dedications Sunflower elation White police station Gardens are quickening Animals stir Flowers are sickening Uniforms blur Spies and thieves And detectives follow me Lies and leaves Choke the air below me And the city Fades into the haze Lightning clouds for Primrose days I can't stop them You won't help me I don't know if I am guilty Stand forlorn One last look Rain comes on Close my book

High and low And up and down Fear and grief Possess this town Where's my soul sister I don't know Will she wait for me Will she go Crawl through the working week A chemical hide and seek How can I thrive without it This isn't working, is it Hooked up and off the grid Give me a winning bid Run with a random bet Nothing has happened yet All words are throwaways Nightmares are Meaningless stowaways This time is different I'm coming home again Blue sky Too much Warm high Cold touch Worlds of colour Have turned to grey Black and white Blow my love away Crawl through the working week A chemical hide and seek How can I thrive without it This isn't working, is it Hooked up and off the grid Give me a winning bid Run with a random bet Nothing has happened yet All words are throwaways Nightmares are Meaningless stowaways This time is different I'm coming home again Take me back I think I'm ready now Safe and sound Got my feet on the ground I will love you Darkness revealed to me What hurts the most to you I will stay truly Bright, clean and close to you Bad dreams have gone away Junk, trash and garbage All thrown away This time is different I'm coming home again

Look at the moon up there See it shine light down here You gave a smile I enjoyed the glow Maybe it's time The night is ending Let's start flying high Where are you going to What are you going to do The world is ours Lets make the most of it Places to go People to meet Let's start flying high I walked alone In the streets Feeling cold When you came along And I heard your song Where are you going to What are you going to do now Where are you going to What are you going to do When you're away from me At night your face I see Warming my bed Lifting my weight Come back to stay with me Make love all night with me Lets stay flying high You mean the world to me The moon and stars to me Shine on me now Light up my life Fill up my heart Shuffle my feet Let's stay flying high The leaves are growing free Bringing life to the tree Year after year It's always here Roots in the ground Solid and sound Lets stay flying high I walked alone In the streets Feeling cold When you walked away And I heard you say Where are you going to What are you going to do now Where are you going to What are you going to do Let's start Where are you going to What are you going to do Flying high Whenever you walk along Your swing is like a song Playing a tune Leading me on What can I do But follow you Lets stay flying high One day the sun will sink No further fun to drink What will I do Lost without you Crumble and fall Fearful and small No more flying high
