Keep that biting lip

Hard edged thinker
Stay young, just this once
Stay young
Keep that biting lip
Stay young, just this once
Stay young
HORIZONS (5:12)
I want to want to sail a boat across the sea
Four winds four winds in the sails and in me
See all the all the time I wasted from you
Got to got to get so closer to you
I see the horizon of your love
I see the horizon of your love
The navigation of desire in my heart
Leads me leads me cross the oceans so far
Horizon ahead ahead I can see your face now
So long so long I must say goodbye now
I see the horizon of your love
I see the horizon of your love
Of your looking looking for the buried treasure
Dig down dig down and find that buried love
I want to want to sail a boat across the sea
Four winds four winds in the sails and in me
I see the horizon of your love
I see the horizon of your love
BIG GO GO (3:11)
Watch the world go go
It'll spin till it stops
People gonna fly off
When they turn it off
It's the way we walk down the road
Without care for the good news
Everything's closed and I need a smoke
A serious habit treated like a joke
Watch the world go go
It'll spin till it stops
People gonna fly off
When they turn it off
You look strange when you're laughing
Uneasy with your moron's smile
Watch the world go go
It'll spin till it stops
People gonna fly off
When they turn it off
Watch the world go go
It'll spin till it stops
People gonna fly off
When they turn it off
Watch the world go go
It'll spin till it stops
People gonna fly off
When they turn it off
UNDERNEATH THE COLOURS (3:59)
No division in the ranks
The lines are long and proud
Like a chinese painting
All red with it's message
Underneath the colours red-blue and white
Catch a glimpse of others
From the corner of your eye
With the rise and fall of
The conductor's blind hand
Underneath the colours red-blue and white
Catch a glimpse of others
From the corner of your eye
No division in the ranks
The lines are long and proud
Underneath the colours red-blue and white
Catch a glimpse of others
From the corner of your eye
Underneath the colours red-blue and white
Catch a glimpse of others
From the corner of your eye
Underneath the colours red-blue and white
Catch a glimpse of others
From the corner of your eye
Underneath the colours red-blue and white
Catch a glimpse of others
From the corner of your eye
FAIR WEATHER AHEAD (4:21)
There's this place full of mountain heads
Living and chewing on the fat
Long teeth and whiskers like a rat
Fearing only those present
Put the lights out, fair weather ahead
Oh these strange new creatures
Aha, they won't be led
Warm outside but very cold within
Followed and praised for many years
History's written always red
It's pages are painful and clear
Put the lights out,fair weather ahead
Oh these strange new creatures
Aha, they won't be led
Ohohoh ohohoh Ohohoh ohohoh Ohohoh ohohoh
There's this place full of mountain heads
Living and chewing on the fat
Put the lights out,fair weather ahead
Woh these strange new creatures
Aha, they won't be led
Put the lights out,fair weather ahead
Woh these strange new creatures
Aha, they won't be led
NIGHT OF THE REBELLION (3:43)
Simple matters always seem
To make things complicated
I sense persuasion of a kind
It wraps itself around me
Not talking only want actions
Reaches me
There used to be paint on the walls
But your too young for money
Not talking only want actions
Reaches me
Summer to winter is never the same
If it is then it's time to change
Not talking only want actions
Reaches me
Once you give in you are through
Reaches me
Not talking only want actions
Reaches me
FOLLOW (3:53)
Never had a spanner on her
Says she sees it straight
Got a sticky finger
On someone I know
Stupid people I won't follow
Stupid people I won't follow
No
Built a better country
Fight a war or two
Stupid people I won't follow
Stupid people I won't follow
No no
Stupid people I won't follow
Stupid people I won't follow
No
Ten times I shouted at him
Say it over again an' again
Ahhsoo
Stupid people I won't follow
Stupid people I won't follow
Stupid people I won't follow
Stupid people I won't follow
No ru du du du
Naw! du oh
BARBARIAN (2:59)
First there's nothing
Takes a long time
Piece by piece
It comes together
He makes drawings
Turns them into real things
Simple paintings
On caves long ago
Barbarian he's lonely
He's the only one
A lot of people
Bent on the future
Set up the countries
Closing all the doors
Just like a game
Always a winner
But he works hard
Surprise to himself
Barbarian he's lonely
He's the only one
Now he thinks big
Thinks he's come a long way
But we all know
A long long way to go
First there's nothing
Takes a long time
Piece by piece
It comes together
Barbarian he's lonely
He's the only one
Ahh.....
WHAT WOULD YOU DO (3:08)
I've come a long way by car
The road went narrow
The bridge's too far
Look see the story
What would you do
Another city phone rings
Letting tears come through
Mixed among feelings
Look see the story
What would you do
Closed eyes and no more breathing
A trick I had played
To scare the living
Look see the story
What would you do
Look see the story
What would you do
JUST TO LEARN AGAIN (4:41)
All those years of learning
Just to learn again
All those years of learning
Just to learn again
Back in time where fear can't climb
Warm and safe with a nursery rhyme
All those years of learning
Just to learn again
All those years of learning
Just to learn again
No talk of love or jungle law
The tender heart we will ignore
All those years of learning
Just to learn again
All those years of learning
Just to learn again
I've come to see your honesty
Of ideal plans and security
All those years of learning
Just to learn again
All those years of learning
Just to learn again

Know what I mean
Sweat upon the brow
That's what I want
I...wanna be good value
I...wanna see in the dark
I...wanna win with you
Know what I mean
Fevered opinion
That's what I want
I...wanna be good value
I...wanna see in the dark
I...wanna win with you
Stay young
Just this once
Know what I mean
Sweat upon the brow
That's what I want
I...wanna be good value
I...wanna see in the dark
I...wanna win with you
Stay young
Stay young
As the rain plays games with our feet
Well I do hope it's not too free
Listen now let me get this straight
To be a man you need a fate
Slow motion see saw ride
My mind's not on it but you gotta try
No questions on their lips
But there will always be doubt
A flag high in the sky
Twists and turns it's language
I play Russian roulette
I'm an angry young man
No questions on their lips
But there will always be doubt
Built upon the hazy plan
Like foundations slipping through sand
They got zero emotion
And everybody's fed up with that
They got all the promotions
Isn't that the way it's always been
It's so full of devotion
Makes you wonder where it could have led
Built upon the hazy plan
Like foundations slipping through sand
I think of ways to understand
But it all gets away from me
The changing message of your love
It rarely ever reaches me
Once you give in you are through
Reaches me
This is the night of rebellion
Reaches me
They'd rather paint the whole town red
Than spend it on what they're told
Once you give in you are through
Reaches me
This is the night of rebellion
Reaches me
I don't want to rock your sacred boat
But there's holes in your sacred sails
Once you give in you are through
Reaches me
This is the night of rebellion
Reaches me
This is the night of rebellion
Reaches me
Never took the detour
Always licks her plates
Best of everything now
See the money roll
You always need something
Just to get you through
Words just melt around you
You're like a pig in a pen
Screaming at 90
Whisper at 10
Feel the towns make you spend
All the facts before me
What would you do
Fed on your body
Fed on your mind
Words that always remind
All the facts before me
What would you do
She laughs at my game
Questions if I'm sane
And all we can do is grin
All the facts before me
What would you do
All the facts before me
What would you do
They will put your feet in very hot water
With your senses in a cloud
Make them rich and very proud
And once again and once too often
The misled aims of twisted teachers
Turns your life and face and features
Softly the voices are speaking to me
Your fault son, that you've been done
Now your lessons have just begun
