THE SLIM MAN There goes the slim man Walking with his girl Planning their new world There goes the pale girl Walking with slim She's in love with him They've got the future in hand They've got the future in their hands There goes the slim man Tightening his belt Wondering how she felt There goes the pale girl Clearing up the mess The button's now depressed We've got the future in hand We've got the future in our hands	THE MIDDLE TWENTY I dreamed it today: The world moves further and faster away He lit his cigar Moved to the bar And pressed play My theme's not yours So you monopolise all floors Who says when you laugh that the world smiles with you today? You've got to hit the middle twenty today You'll fall down Now we've taken you to town We've broken you down And so she has lost all power You make no sound And you've got not much to say And not much to do So you smile the same smile and say EVERY DAY IS LIKE TODAY Lying in the pool Well is not life just one big shave? Seems not much to do So we'll croak and we'll croak every day Heaven's an idea We could not get there if we tried Windows are thrown open But give blankly back only the sky You've got to hit the middle twenty, OK? If the world's blown up? Yeah??
ANOTHER LIFETIME The world's saying NO But I'm holding the stone I'll be just like that glass make you free Now I'm letting go Of your years that have grown Up inside me too easily Let's take a ride Let's take a ride I won't let us die While we're still alive Throw it all in the face Ugly wounds will replace Every wall that we've built Pretend we're free Feel OK at the bone Semi-precious blood flows from this beautiful injury Let's take a ride Let's take a ride I won't let us die While we're still alive I always knew that it was me who'd give a lifetime.	SPYHUNTER Scratch scratch scratch till there's no skin left Scratch your useless life out of me now My road blocked You hunting Doors unlock Unloading all of you into me Say you're hunting for spies Kick kick kick till there's no kicks left Kick all the endless kicks out of me now Your road blocked Still hunting Doors won't lock Unloading all of me into you Say you're hunting for spies We'll swarm around you like flies around a shit
A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO LIVE Wash soap away Wait for next day Feel soon we may Know what should say Inside my cells I cannot tell The door's unlocked But we can't break the habit BREAK THE HABIT The impression that I get from looking at the TV set: Such a beautiful place to live Such a beautiful place to live You feel the bone You feel to moan Want to find home But not on own Watch money rise You scan the skies The doors unlock But you can't break the habit BREAK THE HABIT The impression that I get from looking at the TV set: Such a beautiful place to live You're so You're so	NEW STEEL CONSTRUCTION We are building More houses for more astronauts More houses for more cosmonauts More steel in all our lives We are building Across the Thames a flood defence Protection from the elements More steel in all our lives You steal me In every swing of the hammer I bring In every beat of the steel in the heat In every crash in my ears as they ring I dream of you We have built a new Bridge across the Severn bore No undercurrents anymore More steel in all our lives We are forging Foundations, steel and scaffolding More bricks and concrete, marriage rings More steel in all our lives Hey! Get together one more time It's too late now you've resigned
