Lyrics


(In Your) Neutral Eyes

 

And I’m crying,I’m crying tonight

I don’t know if you realise

And I’m trying,I’m trying tonight

I don’t know if you sympathise

And I don’t wanna try to analyse

Analyse my neutral lies

 

Every time I fantasise

Anyone can criticise

Everywhere I look

There’s only lies and eyes tonight

 

And I’m crying,I’m crying tonight

And I’m trying,I’m trying to fight

 

Don’t ask me to synthesise

Actions I can’t synchronise

Everything I start

I find it hard to finalise

 

I can see the spies

In your neutral eyes

You try to act as a detector

When all I need is a protector

A protector

 

You’ve pierced through the armour

So please do me a favour

Now I’ve made my confession

Avoid the grim revelation

 

That my life’s pure invention

A replacement solution

Maybe there was too much passion

I’m sending my resignation

 

 

COMMUTERS

Doors opening

Releasing the commuters

Among the throng

Waiting for a signal

 

Sad look,grey suits

Reading daily papers

Static in the escalators

Platform 1,next train

 

Dormitory towns

Deposit their forces

To the glittering capital

The magnetic centre

 

Squeezed in a carriage

Stifling stench

Held up on the motorway

Always facing delays

 

The day is just starting

Tomorrow same scenario

The game’s never over

6000 days to go

 

Dormitory towns

Deposit their forces

To the glittering capital

The magnetic centre

S.X GIRLS

They loom in our consciousness

Bleached blonde hair and ankle chains

White stilettos clacking along

The pavement of Town Square

Their bare white legs blue with cold

Cackling shrilly behind pushchairs

 

Pick up an Essex girl on a saturday night

She’ll put her ankles behind her ears

Pick up an Essex girl on a saturday night

She’ll put her ankles behind her ears

 

You’ve spotted Sharon and Tracy dahn Eastgate

Stanford no hope or Chavford hundred

At the back of Darren’s Capri or Kev’s XR3

They’re anarchy in a pink shellsuit

When they descend upon Raquel’s

Even the bouncers grow pale

 

Pick up an Essex girl on a saturday night

She’ll put her ankles behind her ears

Pick up an Essex girl on a saturday night

She’ll put her ankles behind her ears

Pick up a right slapper on a saturday night

She’ll drop her bag of chips while you s+++ her

 

They loom in our consciousness.....

 

INTROSPECTION

I didn’t where to go….

 

Life is a harsh struggle

And you have to make

Every inch of it

Every inch of it

 

Everything you tried

To teach me

Every second

You shared with me

Was just like the sky

Clearing over me

And no extra time

You can spend with me

 

He or she

You and me

Father figure

Mother structure

Gone prematurely

Missed intensely

 

I’m the child you left

On the continent

Used to say I’m stubborn

Just like you were at my age

I’m the child you raised

I’m the man who cries

The shadow of your heart

Little fellow torn apart

 

With the benefit of hindsight

You kind of calculate

You sort of interpret

You find it hard to relate

BETWEEN GLASSES AND REWARDS

See me shining

Between glasses and rewards

See me dying

In a powerful destruction

See me running,see me falling

Climbing from the highest skies

I’m deeply diving

 

Feel my vices

Hardly sweating from inside

Look at my face

Slowly turning off its smile

Feel addiction,the life infection

Collapsing myself in a war

There’s no disguise

 

But is there a chance for me and me

To shoot down the poison and the beast

Getting back forever on my feet

A final point to this tragedy

 

Keep me living

In freedom far away from ghosts

Get my senses

Fullfilled with eternal joy

Give me fever,within the flavour

Of colours from my brand new life

Being sober’s fine

 

Eyes are open

On the real things I forgot

Love is growing

Waiting for a giant crop

As I can touch you,without stifling you

Let’s go on and hold me tight

Just don’t look back

 

But is there a chance for me and me

To shoot down the poison and the beast

Getting back forever on my feet

A final point to this tragedy

 

LAUGH AT FIRST SIGHT

Solitary bloke

Victim of a joke

Went out of his pad

The scenery’s rather sad

 

Went down the High street

Staring at his feet

Caught a glimpse of her

At the Newsagent

 

He’s just a scapegoat

Embarked on a boat

Leading to nowhere

Life is so unfair

 

At school he had a stutter

Now he’s prone to splutter

Dandruffs on his shoulders

 

Give me sign

A glimmer of light

This is a blank line

A lonely man’s fight

 

Laugh at first sight

Please hold me tight

Laugh at first sight

I’m so uptight...

 

A brolly for the autumn drizzle

Shyness is like measles

A strange contagion

Invading your mind region

 

A strange contagion

Shyness like measles

 

Laugh at first sight

Love for one night

Love like a light

Love is a right

ROSE IN THE COFFIN

Time has come

My suffering’s over

I’ve respected the rules

Played the game properly

Now  it’s time for grief

So if you really loved me

 

Come and put a rose in my coffin

Cos I’ve passed the way

Put a rose in my coffin

Cos I’m leaving today

 

Keep this testimony

Next to me

I’ll take it in my hands

Smell it and think of you

 

So if you really loved me

Come and give me this rose

As if giving your heart

To stay with me forever and ever

 

Come and put a rose in my coffin

Cos I’ve passed the way

Put a rose in my coffin

Cos I’m leaving today

LE FOU D ECHECS

Il est toujours mal dans sa tête

Il n’est jamais à la fête

Il ne croit en personne

Surtout pas en lui

Dans cette faune

Il s’interroge sur la signification…de sa vie

 

Pourquoi suis je ici ?

Hurle le fou d’échecs

Je ne suis rien

J’aimerais devenir quelque chose

Mais est ce possible ?

Mais est ce possible ?

 

Le problème c’est dans sa tête

Mais comme sa tête régit son corps

Il est aussi mal dans son corps

Il traîne sa tristesse

Et garde son désespoir

Au plus profond de lui même

Il a mal,il pleure

Il n’ose même pas se regarder

 

Un seul regard suffit

Pour le rendre honteux

Il se sait vulnérable

Il a besoin de parler

Mais qui veut l’écouter ?

NOSTALGIA

Living in the past

I’m a dodgy throwback

My memory never fails me

It just hassles me

 

I’m sure it rings a bell

A place,a smell

You’re back in time

But that’s all so virtual

It’s so superficial

 

Nothing you can grasp

No one you can share it with

It’s all so personal

It’s all so factual

 

A willing regression

Obsessive infatuation

Addictive possession

I’m beyond redemption

 

Dreaming of the past

That’s a wacky life style

My memories keep invading me

I’m gnawed by melancholy

 

Now it’s the alarm bell

A picture,a spell

Can’t travel in time

And that’s so intangible

Regrets are eternal

 

No chance you can grab

No one to twig my distress

It’s so perpetual

It’s so illogical

 

A willing regression

Obsessive infatuation

Addictive possession

I’m beyond redemption

SLOUGH OF DESPOND

I’ve spent my whole life

Waiting for you

Now I don’t want to lose you

 

My life’s become an inner strife

Cos I can’t believe it’s true

I can’t believe it was you

 

At a low ebb and weak

No aim to fulfill

Jealousy sent a chill

 

Living in a sorry plight

Plumbing the depths of sorrow

Living in a sorry plight

Plumbing the depths of sorrow

 

Against the grain

Speeding on that motorway

The spot was on my way

 

It triggered something in my brain

Reviving my affliction

In a state of commotion

 

When you toss the dice

Then I pay the price              

 

Living in a sorry plight

Plumbing the depths of sorrow

Living in a sorry plight

Plumbing the depths of sorrow

DECIPHER ME

I walked down the street

Saw you my way

Your radar scanned through me

Like an X-ray

 

Always on the snide

Never on your side

I want to defend my AKA

 

I find the time

So long tonight

 

The cryptogramme is contained in the screenplay

You can gauge and rewrite the essay

Nothing to confide

Like an empty slide

I walked down the street saw you my way

 

I feel that slime

Could be a blight

I find the time

So long tonight

ACHING SIGN

Some bright things keep so high

Like feeling you right by my side

Keeping the light

Of our intimacy

 

You’ve removed all the clouds

Emerging fractures,mistaken facts

My memory’s harmed

From my reality

 

Though all that seems so fine

I’m so afraid

Of our delight

I see it right

Shivering down my spine

 

I know,you know,they know,we all know

The crash is close,but no one’s conscious

We’re gonna get it right in the face

 

I feel you shiver,they remain blind

But we’re gonna get it right in the face,now

 

Our destiny is fright

There people go without a fight

At cancer style

For all humanity

 

Those bright things kept so high

The surgeon saw an aching sign

Running to us

The violence brought with time

 

Running to us

The violence brought with time

 

I know,you know,they know,we all know

The crash is close,but no one’s conscious

We’re gonna get it right in the face

 

I feel you shiver,they remain blind

But we’re gonna get it right in the face,now

 

BEWITCHING AFTER SHAVE

I’m nothing like a super hero

Just an average man with a tiny ego

I want to be a male bimbo

 

Spotted an ad in the Evening Echo

Wanna be a new man from head to toe ?

Buy and become the perfect macho !

 

It’s a complete change you will undergo

One spray and you’re out of limbo

You’ll master women like a puppet show

 

Take a whiff of my after shave x4

All you need to know

Is I can be your foe

This desire to grow

This eagerness to show

Lost my patience

Take a whiff of my after shave

You’re bound to become my slave

 

This weird substance works like magic

Not just a trick nor a gimmick

Every night there’s lipstick on my joystick

 

Seduction’s striking like a heavy squall

The prettiest babes in the thrall

Any skirt on the planet at my beck and call

 

Collecting preys is like alcohol

Addiction badly mixed with total control

And then my conscience has gone AWOL

 

Take a whiff of my after shave x4

All you need to know

Is I can be your foe

This desire to grow

This eagerness to show

Lost my patience

Take a whiff of my after shave

You’re bound to become my slave

DASTARD

The freak is lurking nearby

Deviation is just a lie

He’s spotted the prey

The plot wasn’t prepared today

 

The bestial scheme is under way

With cowards there is no replay

You’ll always wonder why ?

Innocence deserved to die

 

A question mark in the dark ????

A faceless monster,a ruthless lark

But how can you forgive ?

Revenge’s the only way to live

 

Impossible to gauge the grief

Unthinkable to picture the scene

The filth will never come clean

You can’t defend a life thief

 

Unfading memories of the past

Eaten up with hope and fear

Spiralling nightmare so severe

Bitterness will always last

 

A question mark in the dark ????

A faceless monster,a ruthless lark

But how can you forgive ?

Revenge’s the only way to live

DECIPHER ME

I walked down the street ,saw you my way

Your radar scanned through me like an X-ray

Always on the snide

Never on your side

I want to defend my AKA

 

I find the time

So long tonight

I find the time

So long tonight

 

The cryptogram’s contained in the screenplay

You can gauge and rewrite the essay

Nothing to confide

Like an empty slide

I walked down the street saw you my way

 

I feel that slime

Could be a blight

I find the time

So long tonight

GLITTER BALL

Spent the whole afternoon

Ironing my satin shirt

Trimmed my moustache properly

Carefully polished my zipped platforms

 

Sent SOS on CB radio

Free admission for nutters with an afro

Follow the Cortina with a fur dice

Tonight is gonna be dynamite

 

Discover,Discompose

Disconnect,Disconcert

 

Let me be your medallion man

Let me act like a spaz

Be there or be square

Be there or be square

 

The glitter ball  is sending laser beams

The strobe light is hypnotising

Sequins and spandex top

We’re gonna bop till we drop

 

Discover,Discompose

Disconnect,Disconcert,Discobombulation

 

Flares brooming the lit dance floor

Shirts open down to the navel

Dancers sweating buckets

Wriggling like broken puppets

 

Let me be your medallion man

Let me act like a spaz

Be there or be square

Be there or be square

LESIONS DANGEREUSES

Le scalpel entaille la peau

La morphine soulage les maux

De la souffrance qui règne dans les hôpitaux

Lésions dangereuses,lésions dangereuses

 

Vision tronquée

D’un monde parfait

L’esprit cadenassé

Lésions dangereuses,lésions dangereuses

 

Why would you like to heal me ?

Why do you want to steal me ?

Why do you have to chill me ?

Why do you want to kill me ?

 

Un destin funeste déjà tracé ?

Un banal virage mal négocié

Le mécanisme s’est enrayé

 

Oû sont les soit disant divinités ?

Censées être là pour nous protéger

Lésions dangereuses,conclusion malheureuse

 

You never want to save

And never shed a light

Never want to back

It\'s such a plight

To treat me right

You never want to guide

And never want to save

The ones to back

 

Why would you like to heal me ?

Why do you want to steal me ?

Why do you have to chill me ?

Why do you want to kill me ?

 

MOBILE TRANSPLANT

When I’m on the line

I just want a prompt reply

When you hold the line

I don’t wanna say goodbye

It’s a skillful lie

I just wanna dial

 

Virtual communication

Living your life by proxy

Transient transmission

Secluded in your galaxy

 

3G Frequency

Harmful radiowaves

Expression deficiency

You’ve become Hi-Tech slaves

 

Doctor Doctor

Give me a mobile transplant

Transform me into a mutant

A receiver in my ear

A simcard in my brain

A battery in my heart

A keyboard in my hand

 

Your bluetooth is activated

Unlimited coverage

The network is saturated

Missed call,leave a message

 

Addictive smartphones

Top up,start talking

Disruptive ringtones

Fingertips deleted by texting

 

Doctor Doctor

Give me a mobile transplant

Transform me into a mutant

A receiver in my ear

A simcard in my brain

A battery in my heart

A keyboard in my hand

NEON FASCINATION

When I find a sign

When I find a sign

I just want to stare

At the glittering light

 

When I spot a sign

When I spot a sign

I just want to catch

The silver light

 

When I find a sign

When I see it shine

I just want to find

The timeless light

 

A little mix or Argon

A subtle blend of Krypton

Just an ounce of Xenon

I want to touch the neon

 

Ions migrate fast

Give a sharp contrast

The gas mixture emits

Ultraviolet light

 

Dazzling radiance

Wire resistance

I am captivated

By the flash in the night

 

A little mix or Argon

A subtle blend of Krypton

Just an ounce of Xenon

I want to touch the neon

 

PULP FRICTION

Things,things always go your way

I don’t know what to say

Things always go your way

 

You’re the champion of foul play

The typical cliché

A Paul Klee portrait

 

Don’t ever activate the pulp friction

The wheel has stopped turning your direction

I can’t understand the attraction

Maybe it’s the thrill of action

Don’t ever activate the pulp friction

The wheel has stopped turning your direction

 

You wanted to be a Vincent Vega

The king of the French Riviera

But you’re just a mere…Michael Vendetta

 

Your bedsitter is no palace

There are stains on your mattress

You’ll end up like Marcellus Wallace…

 

Don’t ever activate the pulp friction

The wheel has stopped turning your direction

I can’t understand the attraction

Maybe it’s the thrill of action

Don’t ever activate the pulp friction

The wheel has stopped turning your direction

 

RANSACK YOUR DIGNITY

On the ground today

Off the ground tonight

Find the strength in your way

No reason to fight

 

Stomping ground today

Off the ground tonight

Find the strength in your way

No reason for fright

 

When the darkness falls

It’s time to \"stay alive\"

When the darkness falls

It’s time to \"stay alive\"

 

No more shame

No more reserve

No more fear

No mask on your face

 

Unleash the beast

 

What’s the point if you’re not having fun ?

What’s the point if you’re not having fun ?

Look at yourself

The state you’re in

The ugly mug on you

Should be a clear warning

 

Pleasure ground today

Lost and found tonight

You’ve been drifting away

End of your flight

 

Now the darkness’s gone

It’s time to pay the price

Now the darkness’s gone

It’s time to pay the price

 

No more shame

No more reserve

No more fear

No mask on your face

STINK BOMBS

There’s nothing to do

We’re bored stiff

We don’t need guidelines

Impish….In a jiff

Throw the sealed glass

Against a hard surface

Crush under your sole

Release the nasty niff

Enjoy the prank

Get ready to sniff

 

We are ready to drop our stink bombs

Ready to drop our stink bombs

Hold your nose

Hold your breath

Always ready to drop our stink bombs

 

There’s nothing to do

We’re bored stiff

We don’t need guidelines

Impish….In a jiff

Throw the sealed glass

Against a hard surface

Crush under your sole

Release the nasty niff

Enjoy the prank

 

We are ready to drop our stink bombs

Ready to drop our stink bombs

Hold your nose

Hold your breath

Always ready to drop our stink bombs

 

Get ready to sniff…

 

WHOSE RACKET IS IT ?

Learnt the lesson from page one

Mr and Mrs Miller are going to the zoo

Peter has a racket and he plays tennis every day

 

Now put a hot potato in your mouth

And repeat after me the TH sound

This and that,think and thanks

 

Do we really speak the same language ?

Double Dutch seems to create a blockage

Pidgin English increases the cleavage

Can you suggest the right usage ?

 

You know your irregular verbs by heart but…

My good man you speak like a book

Present perfect but no perfect presence

 

You surround yourself with false friends

And loose yourself in literal translations

Being monolingual like being territorial

 

Do we really speak the same language ?

Double Dutch seems to create a blockage

Pidgin English increases the cleavage

Can you suggest the right usage ?

Do we need to go for body language ?

How can we possibly spread the message ?

 

IMPOSTOR

Lies are everywhere

Lies are everywhere

I don’t want to see your eyes

I don’t want to hear your lies

I don’t want to see your eyes

I don’t want to hear your lies

 

Lies are everywhere

Lies are everywhere

You’re always in disguise

I can see it in your eyes

You’re always in disguise

I can see it in your eyes

 

I lie,you lie,he lies,we all lie

I lie,you lie,she lies,we all lie

I lie,you lie,they lie,we all lie
