LOCOMOTION
Crossing every ocean for the sake of Locomotion Crossing every ocean for the sake of Locomotion Across every ocean For the sake of Locomotion But I wouldn’t have a notion How to save my soul I walk down the sidewalk Run down the boardwalk Stop and make small talk But I can’t say no to you I can’t say no I can’t say yes I can’t even write down my own address I can’t touch Heaven it’s a little too far It’s the only way to travel Got dreaming on a par I’m staring through the window Wondering where you are Moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour Across every nation From the harbour to the station It’s a form of inspiration It’s a power to the state They run down the railways Sail across the seaways Fly through the airways But they can’t say no To you I can’t stand up I can’t stand still I know you wouldn’t like it if I told you how I feel I just want to say that it’s only common sense But the words always fail me at my own expense I’m staring out the window Wonder where you are Moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour Across every ocean For the sake of Locomotion But I wouldn’t have a notion How to save my soul I walk down the sidewalk Run down the boardwalk Stop and make small talk But I can’t say no to you
APOLLO
Let’s move, Let’s shake Let’s bleed, Let’s fake Let’s go for broke Let’s make mistakes Let’s see, Let’s win Let’s pray, Let’s cheat Let’s have another dance Let’s watch our feet Let’s die in the arms Of the girls we love Let’s sell our souls To the man above Let’s move, Let’s go Let’s hop, Let’s start Let’s paint the town Let’s break a few hearts We’ll run, We’ll shout We’ll thrash, we’ll cry But we’ll never grow old And we’ll never die Lying on a bed With Apollo in my arms Doing everything we should And being killed by her charms I’ve got Apollo in my heart She’s tearing me apart She looks like an angel Held here in my arms Though I close my eyes And I turn away I’m not letting go No, not at this stage Because knowing is only half of it No matter what they say And seeing her is believing From miles and miles away She’s closed her eyes And she’s turned away She’s letting go And I know she’ll say Let’s die in the arms Of the girls we love Let’s sell our souls To the man above
NEVER TURN AWAY
Save it for the next time Hands over my head Faintest sound of lightning Faintest sound I heard I’ll never, No, No I’ll never... All around my body All around my feet Please they are watching now Placed around my feet All around my body Please they are watching now Save it for the next time Hands over my head Faintest sound of lightning Faintest sound I heard I’ll never, No, No I’ll never... I’ll never, No, No I’ll never... All around my body Please they are watching now
LOVE AND VIOLENCE
She walks real slow Talks like an animal What am I Supposed to do I’ve tried to explain My heart’s not a radio But I can’t seem To get to you Face to face Tears on a heart of stone When she talks I walk away It seems to me It’s just a waste of time These are words I know she’s heard before She’s the girl Guess I’ll always know And I’ve tried I’ve tried She always seems to know The morning after But not before I haven’t slept Worrying I know I promised To come see you But now I have these Things to do All in all It seems to me You don’t understand subtlety Shall I make it obvious Do you really want me to make up? She doesn’t talk For days and days And when she does She always says That I act real slow Behave like an animal What am I supposed to do? And I’ve tried I’ve tried But she always seems to know We don’t make sense Love and Violence We don’t make sense Love and Violence
HARD DAY
What I say Is what I know And all I can say Is all I’ve seen Nobody knows As well as me That safety in numbers Is just what it seems It’s been a hard, hard day In my life It’s been a hard, hard day For me And when I walk I walk The walk of a tired man Talk, I talk about nothing at all And when I see, I say It’s hard to explain What I mean And when I walk I walk The walk of a tired man Talk, I talk about Nothing at all See, I say It’s hard to explain What I mean To say All I know Is all I’ve seen And what I say Is what I mean How can I explain What I know When all I know Is all I’ve seen And when I walk I walk the walk of a tired man Talk, I talk about Nothing at all See, I say It’s hard to explain what I mean And when I walk I walk the walk of a tired man See I say nothing at all Talk I talk about nothing That’s all I do It’s been a hard, hard day For me It’s been such a hard day For me It’s been a hard, hard day In my life But it’s not a day I’d choose to forget
ALL WRAPPED UP
Stop stop going around With the girl that I love She’s already taken She’s all sewn up It’ll only end in tears She’ll only break your heart If my fist doesn’t get you Before she tears you apart Stop stop going places Where you know that she goes I’ve heard all the stories It’s just another pose You’ll only get rejected Just when you think you’ve scored And when you think you’ve made it She’ll be walking through that door Every little now And every little then Toe to toe with my best friend Arm in arm in luxury Heaven knows you won’t see me Again Well You’d better be careful With the things that you say Your mouth will get you in trouble One of these days I know you don’t believe me And I know it seems absurd But it just goes to show How little you know that girl Every little now And every little then Toe to toe with my best friend Arm in Arm in luxury Heaven knows you won’t see me Again
WHITE TRASH
I’m going to get you For the lies you’ve been telling And I’m going to tell The people you call your friends I’m going to break Every bone in your body That perfect little body That’s been so close to mine We’ve been together Just as long as I remember But your mouth is a weapon That is worse than any knife
TALKING LOUD AND CLEAR
Talking loud and clear Saying just what we feel Lying in the grass With the sun on our backs It doesn’t really matter What we do or what we say With every little movement We give ourselves away Opposite and opposite Decisions are reversed Facing one another With words that couldn’t hurt With every little word You’re getting closer to me Talking loud and clear Saying just what we feel today Talking loud and clear Saying just what we feel Lying in the grass We’ve got time on our hands Body next to body With silence all around We understand each other But didn’t make a sound Promises and promises Of vows we shall return Facing one another I thought my heart would burn You turn to move away But then get closer to me Talking loud and clear Saying just what we feel today
