BLACK CELEBRATION
TOP
Let's have a black celebration
Black Celebration
Tonight

To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day

I look to you
How you carry on
When all hope is gone
Can't you see?
Yours optimistic eyes
Seem like paradise
To someone like me
I want to take you in my arms
Forgetting all I couldn't do today

Black Celebration
Black Celebration
Tonight

To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day

I look to you
And yours strong belief
Me, I want relief tonight
Consolation
I want so much
Want to feel your touch tonight
Take me in your arms
Forgetting all you couldn't do today

Black Celebration
I'll drink to that
Black Celebration
Tonight

FLY ON THE WINDSCREEN-FINAL
TOP
Death is everywhere
There are flies on the windscreen
For a start
Reminding us
We could be torn apart tonight

Death is everywhere
There are lambs for the slaughter
Waiting to die
And I can sense
The hours slipping by tonight

Come here
Kiss me now
Come here
Kiss me now

Death is everywhere
The more I look
The more I see
The more I feel
A sense of urgency tonight

Come here - touch me
Kiss me now – touch me
Come here - touch me
Kiss me now – touch me
Touch me
Touch me

There are flies on the windscreen
There are lambs for the slaughter
There are flies on the windscreen

Come here - touch me
Kiss me now - touch me
Come here - touch me
Kiss me now - touch me
Touch me
Touch me

A QUESTION OF LUST
TOP
Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I'd never willingly
Do you harm?
Apologies
Are all you seem to get from me?
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know...

It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keeps us together

Independence
Is still important for us though (we realise)
It's easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what I mean)
My weaknesses
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I'm anyone's
And you know...

It's a question of lust...

Kiss me goodbye
When I'm on my own
But you know that I'd
Rather be home

It's a question of lust...

SOMETIMES
TOP
Sometimes
Only sometimes
I question everything
And I'm the first to admit
If you catch me in a mood like this
I can be tiring
Even embarrassing

But you must
Feel the same
When you look around
You can't tell me honestly
You're happy with what you see
Oh sometimes
Only sometimes
You must be...
You must be...
As embarrassing as me
Sometimes

IT DOESN'T MATTER TWO
TOP
As I lay here with you
The shame lies with us
We talk of love and trust
That doesn't matter

Though we may be the lasts in the world
We feel like pioneers
Telling hopes and fears
To one another

And oh what a feeling
Inside of me
It might last for an hour
Wounds aren't healing
Inside of me
Though it feel good now
I know it's only for now

The feeling is intense
You grip me with your eyes
And then I realise
It doesn't matter

A QUESTION OF TIME
TOP
I've got to get to you first
Before they do
It's just a question of time
Before they lay their hands on you
And make you just like the rest
I've got to get to you first
It's just a question of time

Well now you're only fifteen
And you look good
I'll take you under my wing
Somebody should
They've persuasive ways
And you'll believe what they say

It's just a question of time
It's running out for you
It won't be long
Until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to

I can see them now
Hanging around
To mess you up
To strip you down
And have their fun
With my little one

It's just a question of time....

Sometimes I don't blame them
For wanting you
You look good
And they need something to do
Until I look at you
And then I condemn them
I know my kind
What goes on in our minds?

It's just a question of time...
It should be better
It should be better with you

STRIPPED
TOP
Come with me
Into the trees
We lay on the grass
And let the hours pass
Take my hand
Come back to the land
Let's get away
Just for one day

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Metropolis
Has nothing on this
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss
Take my hand
Come back to the land
Where everything's ours
For a few hours

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you crying
Just for me

HERE IS THE HOUSE
TOP
Here is the house
Where it all happens
Those tender moments
Under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
And is it happens
It happens here
In this house

And I feel your warmth
And it feels like home
And there's someone
Calling on the telephone
Let's stay home
It's cold outside
And I have so much
To confide to you
With or without words
I'll confide everything

Here is the house....

So we stay at home
And I'm by your side
And you know
What's going on inside

Inside my heart
Inside this house
And I just want to
Let it out for you
And I feel your warmth
And it feels like home
And I feel your warmth
And it feels like home

Here is the house
Where it all happens
Those tender moments
Under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together

WORLD FULL OF NOTHING
TOP
Close
Naked
Skin on skin
Tears are falling
Tears of joy
Her first boy
His first girl
Makes a change

In a world full of nothing
Though it's not love
It means something

She's lonely
And he says
It's for her only
That he lusts
She doesn't trust him
Nothing is true
But he will do

In a world full of nothing
Though it's not love
It means something

It's easy to slip away
And believe it all

Though it's not love
It means something

DRESSED IN BLACK
TOP
She's dressed in black again
And I'm falling down again
Down to the floor again
I'm begging for more again
But oh what can you do
When she's dressed in black

My mind wanders endlessly
On paths where she's leading me
With games that she likes to play
And words that she doesn't say
Not when we're alone
And she's dressed in black

As a picture of herself
She's a picture of the world
A reflection of you
A reflection of me
And it's all there to see
If you only give in
To the fire within

Dressed in black again

Shadows fall onto me
And she stands there over me
And waits to encompass me
I lay here helplessly
But oh what can you do
When she's dressed in black

Dressed in black again

NEW DRESS
TOP
Sex jibe husband murders wife
Bomb blast victim fights for life
Girl Thirteen attacked with knife

Princess Di is wearing a new dress

Jet airliner shot from sky
Famine horror, millions die
Earthquake terror figures rise

Princess Di is wearing a new dress

You can't change the world
But you can change the facts
And when you change the facts
You change points of view
If you change points of view
You may change a vote
And when you change a vote
You may change the world

In black townships fires blaze
Prospects better premier says
Within sight are golden days

Princess Di is wearing a New Dress

You can't change the world
But you can change the facts
And when you change the facts
You change points of view
If you change points of view
You may change a vote
And when you change a vote
You may change the world
