FOREVER
What do you see,
Far away?
It's blinding me
So obvious.
It's in our hands
The future, for all of us
So precious, we must slow down
Together - or we'll be dust:
Forever!
We know the answers
But what about the questions?
Short term solutions
Forget about big problems.
So how can I tell,
Totally
It's convincing me
I'm oblivious.
I see your face
It's melting, in front of me
So precious, we must slow down
Together - we're in this scheme:
Forever!
Misleading conversation
Sends me to oblivion
Misleading conversation
Goes on and on and on
Forever!
Feelings of superiority
Feelings of inferiority
Hey, I think we're all the same
Playing a small part in this game
Hectic fields of human debris, Souls whose frowns are forever heavy...
Listen to me – please.
Just for once
Extraneous.
It's in the air, the final word,
The life and breath; please forgive me
Nothing, forgive me nothing:
Forever...

NO WAY
well I'm:
fed up of being bored [You know I thought we'd hit a chord]
I thought You'd be my solid rock [You proved to be my stumbling block]
so the fickle worm it turns [can't You see I'm all a-torn ]
as soon as We seem to make some headway [always end up feet away]
I don't care for rank and station [all I get is deep frustration]
more facade to mutual arrangement [all You want is power of possession]
I'm entitled to my own opinion [and to go in My own direction]
and You boast You've got the most [what if I told You, You're living a hoax]
there's no way of getting through to You
It’s time to change I'm out of here
Is there no way of getting through to You
it's like living with a stranger
I can't see directioned growth [all I smell is toxic smoke]
cycling the mental miles [my optimism's so defiled ]
so is this what We learned in school [to always be a mindless fool]
always shelter from the mundane [switch on the TV again... ]
all I see is an empty pit [shackling Me to domestic shit]
what was once a teenage dream [has turned into an adult scream!]
and now for pity’s sake [everything's a fucking state]
and so the buzzards hover [and it's time to take some cover!]
there's no way...
is there no way of getting through to You? time to change - I'm out of here
It was an interesting start
But the playing was safe
And there is no progress
With bastard sons of progress
Whose carrots hypnotise visions: full-steam ahead
Full-steam ahead
Barricade Me out You meeker
You're a blind convenience seeker
Try and clean Your shirt of blood
But You can't stop the flood
FULL-STEAM AHEAD!
FULL-STEAM AHEAD!
No way, no way, no way
Of getting through to You.

Shed Off The Pounds

SH£D OFF THE POUNDS
Dieticians tell them news
People go on five-mile runs
Occupation all devout
Cut out the butties fried and nice
Got to shed off the pounds it's aesthetic propaganda
Got to shed off the pounds to make your life better
Got to shed off the pounds it's that Western occupation
Got to shed off the pounds it's aesthetic propaganda
Higher-seller work-out tapes
Vanity has gonne to seed
More subscribers part with cash
Sod the Third World, let's look flash
Got to shed off the pounds...
Work it out!! [pant, pant, gasp!]
Oyez, work it out for yourselves!
Oyez
Work it ouuuuuuuutt!!
Surgeons face-lift the grotesque
Cosmetic values grow and grow
Got to look your Sunday best
(Not yourself-
Be someone else!)
Got to shed off the pounds...
WORK IT OUT
