Bloc Bloc Bloc

I want to go up to Detroit
I want to lie in the shade
I want to visit the president
And then I want to get laid

I want to go down to Memphis
I want to talk to the king
I want to tell him we’re sorry
And it won’t happen again

I’ve got a photo of James Joyce
It’s a photo by Man Roy
It’s not very very much like him
But it’s not for me to say

She sacrifices her body
Almost every night
Just like a lamb to the slaughter
And she thinks it makes him feel right

You gave me so many problems
You made me crash in my car
I’ll have a martini cocktail
And then we’ll see where we are

So just be nice to your brother
I’ll take your sister to bed
And I can bloc bloc bloc till the weekend
But you’d better come back soon

Call My Name

I've seen a new sensation
I heard you call in pain
But running round in circles
Won't make it right again
The telephone keeps ringing
Your head is in the sand
The future is unfolding
But it's not what you had planned

No matter what you do
There's no escape for you
You say we go too far
You say I'll take my car

So it always ends the same
There's no one else to blame
But I'd die
If you would call my name

Caught between two evils
You should have stayed at home
To wish upon and walk upon
A planet of your own

No matter what you do
There's no escape for you
You say we go too far
You say I'll take my car

So it always ends the same
There's no one else to blame
But I'd die
If you would call my name

Yes I'd die
If you would call my name

No matter what you do
There's no escape for you
You say we go too far
You say I'll take my car

So it always ends the same
There's no one else to blame
But I'd die
If you would call my name

Oh yes I'd die
If you would call my name

Christine

as the sun descends too quickly
behind the distant city
she will ride under the water
she will leave her son and daughter

reduced to lying naked
to feed those she holds sacred
she is bare of clothes and beauty
on disply in her nudity

if someone calls her name out
all she ever hears are cars
through the window in the bathroom
through the broken glass and bars

seeking comfort in the wallet
where she placed eighty dollars
when the last one has departed
she can slide into the darkness

and slowly down the river
the current pulls her under
and it bathes her in its splendor
is unmoved by her surrender

and faint through the water
the lights like brittle stars
someone called her name out
she no longer hears the cars

Christine...

Crush

Rain rain
Go away
I couldn’t take you
One More day
There’s broken glass here
On the floor
And I can't take this anymore

Stay Stay
Don’t leave now
I’ll do anything
But let you go
My hands are cold
My eyes can’t see
You can’t do this
Not to me

Rain rain
Go away
I can’t stand this one more day
I’ll close my eyes
I’ll shut my brain
I can’t stand this
Fucking rain

I can’t stand the rain
Close my eyes

Dollar Girl

when you know the dollar girl
is coming home again
then you know that destiny
will never be your friend

her heart is in her pocket
and her head is in your hands
you thought it would be easy
but I guessed she changed your plans

now you know there's no release
from all the tears she cries
slowly it seems obvious
she'll love you til she dies

stay with me now
til the end of the day
if you stay we can talk
I will hear what you say
if you leave me tonight
while my heart is on fire
stay with me now
I will be your desire

and when you go the dollar girl
will justify your care
she burns you with her confidence
and prays that you won't dare

now you know there's no release
from all the tears she cries
slowly it seems obvious
she'll love you til she dies

stay with me now
til the end of the day
if you stay, we can talk
I will hear what you say
if you leave me tonight
while my heart is on fire
stay with me now
I will be your desire

now you know there's no release
from all the tears she cries
slowly it seems obvious
she'll love you til she dies

stay with me now
til the end of the day
if you stay, we can talk
I will hear what you say
if you leave me tonight
while my heart is on fire
stay with me now
I will be your desire

Dream of Me

say it isn't right
to be alone tonight
so in love with you
tell you what I'm gonna
do about it

I had an idea
based on a love theme
I had an idea
based on a love theme

all I ever do
is what you want me to
so in love with you
tell you what I'm gonna
do about it

I had an idea
based on a love theme
I had an idea
based on a love theme

say it isn't right
to be alone tonight
so in love with you
tell you what I'm gonna
do about it

I had an idea
based on a love theme
I had an idea
based on a love theme

Electricity

Our one source of energy
The ultimate discovery
Electric blue for me
Never more to be free
Electricity
Nuclear and HEP
Carbon fuels from the sea
Wasted electricity

Our one source of energy
Electricity
All we need to live today
A gift for man to throw away
The chance to change has nearly gone
The alternative is only one
The final source of energy
Solar electricity

Electricity
Electricity
Electricity
Electricity
Electricity
E . . .

Enola Gay

Enola Gay, you should have stayed at home yesterday
Aha words can't describe the feeling and the way you lied

These games you play, they're gonna end in more than tears someday
Aha Enola Gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way

It's 8:15, and that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you're coming home

Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today
Aha this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away

Enola Gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way
Aha Enola Gay, it shouldn't fade in our dreams away

It's 8:15, and that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you're coming home

Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today
Aha this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away

Everyday

everyday
I'm on my knees to pray
since I kissed you once
and I held you once
things have never been the same

and I've tried
god knows I've tried
but there's nothing left
in the world today
that's making sense in any way

even now, I'm in love with you
no matter what you put me through
there'll always be someone like you
who lets me down again

but every time
I've tried to make you mine
it seems there's nothing else
I will ever find
that will make you stay
make you change your mind
sad to say
it's the same thing everyday
but there's no one else
in the world today
that will make it change
take the pain away

even now, I'm in love with you
no matter what you put me through
there'll always be someone like you
who lets me down again

and everyday no matter what I do
I'm more and more in love with you
I can't believe it's really true
you wouldn't really go

Flame of Hope

There's a flame of hope
Burning in my heart
And there's a strange emotion
Tearing me apart
Cause I know
I know
Cause I know

There's a flame of hope
Calling out your name
But when my arms embrace you
It extinguishes the flame

Cause I know
I know
Cause I know

Forever (Live and Die)

I never wanted another
Come over to me and discover
How I want to be near you
And you need to be far away
You always seem to make me feel at home
Hey you

People like
I never know, I never know, I never know why
You make me wanna cry
I never know, I never know, I never know why
Forever live and die

I look at all of the people
Doing it over and over
You never get any older
I wish that you could be here
I look at you and I
Make the same mistakes
Hey you

People like
I never know, I never know, I never know why
You make me wanna cry
I never know, I never know, I never know why
Forever Live and Die

I never know, I never know, I never know why
You make me wanna cry
I never know, I never know, I never know why
Forever Live and Die

Repeat to fade

Genetic Engineering

Efficient, logical, effective, and practical.
Using all resorces to the best of our ability.
Changing, designing, adapting our mentalities.
Improving our abilities for a better way of life.

CHORUS:
Babies. Mother. Hospital. Scissors.
Creature. Judgement. Butcher. Engineer.

These are the little children, the future in their hands.
When all God's children on this Earth inherit all our plans.
These are the lies they tell us. But this is the only way.
When all God's children on the Earth will evermore be saved.

REPEAT CHORUS (2)

These are the little children, the future in their hands.
When all God's children on this Earth inherit all our plans.
These are the lies they tell us. The future's good as sold.
In all the things we do and know, we really must be told.
