3-5-0-1-2-5 Go!
I was there in the backstage when first
light came around
I grew up like a changeling to win the first time around
I can see all the weakness - I can pick all the faults
I concede all the faith tests - just to stick in your throats
3-1-G - 3-1-G - 3-1-G
I hung around in your soundtrack to
mirror all that you've done
To find the right side of reason - to kill the three lies
for one
I can see all the cold facts - I can see through your eyes
All this talk made no contact, no matter how hard I tried
3-1-G - 3-1-G - 3-1-G
I can still hear the footsteps - I
can see only walls
I slid into your man-traps, with no hearing at all
I just see contradiction - had to give up the fight
Just to live in the past tense - to make believe you were
right
3-1-G - 3-1-G - 3-1-G
3-5-0-1-2-5
Leaders Of Men
Born from some mother's womb - just like
any other room
Made a promise for a new life - made a victim out of your
life
When your time's on the door and it drips to the floor
And you feel you can touch - all the noise is too much
And the seeds that are sown are no longer your own
Just a minor operation - to force a
final ultimatum
A thousand words are spoken loud - reach the dumb to fool
the crowd
When you walk down the street and the sound's not so sweet
And you wish you could hide - maybe go for a ride
To some picture arcade where the future's not made
A nightmare situation - infiltrate
imagination
Smacks of past holy wars - by the wall with broken laws
The leaders of men - born out of your
frustration
The leaders of men - just a strange infatuation
The leaders of men - made a promise for a new life
No saviour for our sakes - to crush
the internees of hate
Self-induced manipulation - to crush all thoughts of mass
salvation
Digital
Feel it closing in - feel it closing
in
A fear of whom I call - every time I call
I feel it closing in - I feel it closing in
Day in, day out --
I feel it closing in, as patterns seem
to form
I feel it cold and warm, as shadows start to fall
I feel it closing in - I feel it closing in
Day in, day out --
I'd have the world around to see just
what happens
Stood by the door alone, and then it's fade away
I see you fade away - don't ever fade away
I need you here today - don't ever fade away
Don't ever fade away --
Fade away --
Autosuggestion
He-ere, he-ere - everything is by design
Everything is by design
He-ere, he-ere - everything is kept inside
So take a chance and step outside
Your hopes, your dreams, your paradise
Heroes, idols cracked like ice
He-ere, he-ere - everything is kept
inside
So take a chance and step outside
Feel frustration face to face
A point of view creates more waves
So take a chance and step outside
Take a chance and step outside
Lose some sleep and say you tried
Meet frustration face to face
A point of view creates more waves
So lose some sleep and say you tried --
Say you tried --
Yeah, lose some sleep and say you tried --
Transmission
Radio - live transmission
Radio - live transmission
Listen to the silence - let it ring
on
Eyes, dark grey lenses, frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Left to blind destruction, waiting for our sight
We would go on as though nothing was
wrong
And hide from these days - we remained all alone
Staying in the same place, staying out the time
Touching from a distance, further all the time
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to
the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio --
I could call out when the going gets
tough
The things that we learned are no longer enough
No language, just sound, is all we need know
To synchronise love to the beat of the show
In the Still live version the previous
verse is replaced by:
I would go on as though nothing was wrong
Hide from these days where resistance was long
And in the same place - well there is no time
Here to devalue - who will decide?
And we can daaaaaance
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio --
She's Lost
Control
Confusion in her eyes that says it
all
She's lost control
And she's clinging to the nearest passer-by
She's lost control
And she gave away the secrets of her past and said
I've lost control again
And of a voice that told her when and where to act, she
said
I've lost control again
And she turned to me and took me by
the hand and said
I've lost control again
And how I'll never know just why or understand, she said
I've lost control again
And she screamed out, kicking on her side and said
I've lost control again
And seized up on the floor - I thought she'd die - she said
I've lost control [again]
She's lost control again - she's lost control --
Well I had to phone her friend to state
my case and say
She's lost control again
And she showed up all the errors and mistakes and said
I've lost control again
But she expressed herself in many different ways
Until she lost control again
And walked upon the edge of no escape and laughed
I've lost control [again]
She's lost control again - she's lost control --
The following additional verse is on
the 12" single
and, with minor variations, in some live versions:
I could live a little better with the myths and the lies
When the darkness broke in I just broke down and cried
I could live a little in a wider line
When the change is gone - when the urge is gone
To lose control
When here we come
Incubation
[instrumental]
Dead Souls
Someone take these dreams away
That point me to another day
A duel of personalities
That stretch all true reality
That keep calling me - they keep calling me
Keep on calling me - they keep calling me
When figures from the past stand tall
And mocking voices ring the hall
Imperialistic house of prayer
Conquistadors who took their share
That keep calling me - they keep calling me
Keep on calling me - they keep calling me
The Central Sound version has an extra
verse:
Another day - another time
The dreams can't stop or rectify
We're born into a living scene
It draws me in - keeps calling me
Keeps calling me - keeps calling me
Keeps calling me - calling me
Atmosphere
Walk in silence
Don't walk away in silence
See the danger - always danger
Endless talking - life rebuilding
Don't walk away
Walk in silence
Don't turn away in silence *
Your confusion - my illusion
Worn like a mask of self-hate
Confronts and then dies
Don't walk away
People like you find it easy
Naked to see - walking on air *
Hunting by the rivers
Through the streets, every corner
Abandoned too soon *
Set down with due care
Don't walk away - in silence
Don't walk away
Love Will
Tear Us Apart
When routine bites hard, and ambitions
are low
And resentment rides high, but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again --
Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed - our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our
lives
Love, love will tear us apart again --
You cry out in your sleep - all my
failings expose
There's a taste in my mouth, as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good just can't function no more
When love, love will tear us apart again --
No Love Lost
So long sitting here - didn't hear
the warning
Waiting for the tape to run
We've been moving round in different situations
Knowing that the time would come
Just to see you torn apart
Witness to your empty heart
I need it - I need it - I need it --
Failures
Don't speak of false messiahs - a failure
of the modern man
To the centre of our life's desires - as a whole not an
also ran
Love in a hollow field - break the image of your father's
son
Drawn to an inner feel - he was thought of as the only one
He no longer denies - all the failures
of the modern man
He no longer picks sides - sees the failures of the modern
man
Wise words and sympathy - tell the story of our history
New strength gives a real touch - sense and reason make
it all too much
With a strange fatality - break the spirits of a lesser
man
Some other race could see - in his way he was the only one
He no longer denies - all the failures
of the modern man
No, no, he can't pick sides - sees the failures of the modern
man
Now that it's right to decide - in his time he was a total
man
Taken from Caesar's side - kept in silence just to prove
who's wrong
No, no, he can't pick sides - all the failures of the modern
man
No, no longer denies - all the failures of the modern man
Glass
Hearts fail - young hearts fail
Anytime - pressurised
Overheat - overtired
Take it quick - take it neat
Clasp your hands - touch your feet
Take it quick - take it neat --
Hearts fail - young hearts fail
Anytime - wearing down
On the run - underground
Put your hand where it's safe
Leave your hand where it's safe
Do it again
Do it again and again and again --
Anytime - that's your right
Told ya we should do it again
Overheat - overtired
Don't you wish to do it again --
Anytime - that's all right
Don't you wish to do it again --
I bet you wish you do it again
Do it again --
In the Genetic demo version the previous
verse is replaced by:
Anytime - that's your right
Bet you wish you'd done it again
Anytime - that's your right
Turn around and do it again --
Do it again - do it again
Do it again and again and again --
From Safety
To Where...?
No, I don't know just why
No, I don't know just why
Which way to turn
I've got this ticket to use
Through childlike ways, rebellion and
crime
To reach this point and retreat back again
The broken hearts, all the wheels that are turned
The memory's scarred and the vision is blurred
No, I don't know which way
Don't know which way to turn
The best possible use
Just passing through till we reach
the next stage
But just to where - well it's all been arranged
Just passing through but the break must be made
Should we move on or stay safely away?
Novelty
When the people listen to you, don't
you know it means a lot
'Cause you've got to work so hard for everything you've
got
Can't rest on your laurels now - not when you've got none
You'll find yourself in the gutter, right back where you
came from
Someone told me being in the know is
the main thing
We all need the security that belonging brings
Can't stand on your own in these times against all the odds
I don't want to act uncool like all the other sods
In the Heart and Soul live version
the previous verse is replaced by:
Where you gonna run to now? where you gonna hide?
All the dreams you ever had are tied up deep inside
Staring in the mirror now, with everything you've seen
Looking back and telling the crowd just what might have
been
You slap our backs and pretend you
knew
About all the things that we were gonna do
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when it's over?
You're all on your own now - don't
you think that it's a shame
But you're the only one responsible to take the blame
The original version concludes:
When ya gonna grow up and act, and be yourself
Cause pretty soon you'll find yourself nailed to the shelf
Grab it while you can, but don't ever relax
Cause there's always someone gonna stab your back
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when it's over?
The later versions conclude:
So what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone?
Yeah, what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone?
You slap our backs and pretend you knew
About all the things that we were gonna do
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when it's over?
Komakino
This is the hour when the mysteries
emerge
A strangeness so hard to reflect
A moment so moving goes straight to your heart
The vision that's never been met
The attraction is held like a weight deep inside
Something I'll never forget
The pattern is set - the reaction will
start
Complete but rejected too soon
Looking ahead in the grip of each tear
Recalls the life that we knew
The shadow that stood by the side of the road
Always reminds me of you
How can I find the right way to control
All the conflicts inside, all the problems beside
As the questions arise, and the answers don't fit
Into my way of things, into my way of things
These Days
Morning seems strange - almost out
of place
Searched hard for you and your special ways
These days - these days
Spent all my time - learnt a killer's
art
Took threats and abuse till I'd learnt the part
Can you stay for these days?
These days - these days
Use outward deception to get away
Broken heart romance to make it pay
These days - these days
We'll drift through it all - it's the
modern age
Take care of it all now these debts are paid
Can you stay for these days?
