Irresistible Rays 03:05
lyrics

Irresistible Rays She's driving home In the black Mercedes I've got summer shirts And January snow I've been sleeping Through this Century Sunglasses To protect the soul Look out of the window The scenery's burnt down In the mystical depths Of the countryside The reluctant young lover Embraces his girl Speed up on a vision That's bringing me down Bright lights Along country roads Each tiny jewel Reflects a vision of you Irresistible rays And black goodbyes I'm sure there are pleasures In this time.

Tender Assignation 02:31
lyrics
buy track
I've got this complication Growing in my brain This tender assignation Is driving me insane I went to the scenic vendor To buy myself a grin He said life is science fiction Just sparkling in the rain Girl, you got some problems But I can't understand How in the summer sun You still got the upper hand You're high behind sunglasses Out in the countryside The dew is on the grass And there's madness in her eyes Girl, you got some problems But I can't understand How in the summer sun You still got the upper hand

Tomorrow, We Play Ball 03:02

Tomorrow, We Play Ball White summer is coming Gonna get me a motorbike, and Go out running Won't you tell me What's in her mind, this time People sleeping in the dark Mist on my glove leather Striking the pages of summer Won't you tell me What's in her mind, this time The physical manifestation of her perfume She's like a cigarette burning on a ledge Electricity flows through the feed pipes Shades behind the bar Won't you tell me What's in her mind, this time Tomorrow We play ball With Anthony Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow

Now Here It Comes Who is that girl? Who is that girl? And who are the men? Why are they Why are they so tall? I guess they must be Looking for life? Gonna see her tomorrow At the Big Blue Light Now here it comes Going up around your shoulder With your head down on a boulder Now here it comes Who is that girl? Who is that girl? And who are the men? Why are they Why are they so tall? I guess they must be Looking for life? Won't you pick me up in your car Take me on a trip To another star When you wear leather, that's cool I look into your eyes, they say I love you. I may have misconstrued your kisses But they're just what I've been missing I thought that you liked me and I can't understand Why you've got that knife in your hand Who is that girl? Who is that girl? And who are the men? Why are they Why are they so tall? I guess they must be Looking for life? Gonna see her tomorrow At the Big Blue Light Now here it comes Now here it comes Now here it comes

Night of The Long Bars 03:03
lyrics
buy track
Night Of The Long Bars You wanna see the man With his head in the stars Pacing out the hours In the night of Long Bars I saw you standing At the edge of the crowd Your name is still on my lips At the close of an hour What shall we do till tomorrow? Let's fall in love till tomorrow, And then? I heard a rumor yesterday That this year is insane Went out in the morning sun And I only felt the rain You woke me up lying In a field full of flowers I could have lain there dreaming for hours What shall we do till tomorrow? Let's fall in love till tomorrow, And then? What shall we do till tomorrow? Let's fall in love till tomorrow, And then?

Chinese Gift 02:20
lyrics

Chinese Gift I got this gift from China And I've put it in my head There ain't no ocean liner Gonna bring me back again And all the time I've been lying there Dreaming just of you And all the time I've been hiding Without a point of view I want to go to the forest clearing Where the horses do run wild You on my arm in the midnight sun Oh it's not such a terrible life And all the time I've been lying there Dreaming just of you And all the time I've been hiding Without a point of view I met this girl from Peking Who just stepped out of a smile Rode me in and out of a sigh Led me a crooked mile And all the time I've been lying there Dreaming just of you And all the time I've been hiding

As She Walks Into The Room 01:19
lyrics
buy track
As She Walks Into The Room Look at that girl As she walks into the room She gotta grease in her hair And lasers in the grooves Now anybody who's half-alive Is saying "Look at that girl She's a blowing my mind" She's all dressed up In a cellophane skin A fist full of dope An invisible grin The color of her eyes Are way out of line Saying "Look at that girl She's a blowing my mind"

Girl Gone Wrong 02:40

Girl Gone Wrong Girl It’s all gone wrong When I see you walking Down the street Tied to your hands Tied to your feet Girl It’s all gone wrong I come round to take you To the Beat Machine You say you gotta stay in And tie-dye those jeans And girl It’s all gone wrong I remember those nights You used to lie beside me And now you just Lie to me And girl It’s all gone wrong I said girl It’s all gone wrong

Everything's Happening Everything's Happening Like a landslide Well we’re at the bottom But we’re going up Never let them push the Button on this one What did I tell you (Ray) What did I tell you This is the greatest Time of our lives This is the best time The best time to live It may be the hardest and it Maybe the toughest And you know, in the end It may not be Anything you wanted Everything is happening Like a landslide going on up And the monster in your brain, says You can’t have it, you can’t have it I walked out this morning And you turned to me and said “The World is dead Like the dreams inside my head” Automobiles and politicians Hit singles and good intentions Sensations not having it Right now, we’re gonna get it I walked out this morning, and I Looked in the papers It was right there in my face Just shout and you’ll be amazed We’re gonna get there in the end And I want it all Right Now!

Girl On Fire The model in the window Beckons with her plastic kiss The record on the jukebox Says that love is just like this But the girl on fire is you And I want just one more kiss Well if you’re looking for a lover You can’t do better than the summer The sheets are hot And this mystery is the best But the girl on fire is you And I want to take the test

Love Is Cruel 02:18
lyrics
buy track
Love Is Cruel I spend my life in bars Admiring their charms The gravewood of the cask The perfume of your mask You’re much too sly to ask If there’s one more chance Life’s unkind and love is cruel Easy pickings for me and you Now if you’re looking for an alibi I will put the tears in your eyes I’m searching for a place to die Someone’s waiting there for me And I don’t want to go I wish you’d save me From all that I know Lipstick an opulent red Dress with the diagonal thread She’s dancing there With a ribbon in her hair It’s a stupid scene but I don’t care Life’s unkind and love is cruel Easy pickings for me and you.

High Street 03:14

High Street She’s happy on the High Street Where all the animals eat red meat Soft, cynical, so sensational Her trip with you was educational In walked love without a home Left her standing all alone Now it’s her turn, her turn to rule She doesn’t need you, so who is the fool? Why, it’s you, yeah, yeah, yeah. She’s a statue, made of stone I’d bet you’d like to take her home So pretty and so empty Lounging in the land of plenty It’s treated her fine So far In walked love without a home Left her standing all alone Now it’s her turn, her turn to rule She doesn’t need you, so who is the fool? Why, it’s you, yeah, yeah, yeah. She’s happy on the High Street With all the people that she meets And I know you are too Ensnared by her perfume In walked love without a home Left her standing all alone Now it’s her turn, her turn to rule She doesn’t need you, so who is the fool? Why, it’s you, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Temptation 03:34

Temptation Now there comes a time When everybody’s waiting For you come down Gimme your hands I know you want to be A mirror-backed jacket Put on your make up And give me an eyeful No, I ain’t starving for love or attention But when I look into your eyes I can't resist the temptation Temptation The leather-backed hipster Eternal days haunting The emerald intention Of love's great invention You dive into subways Filled with disaster Glittering chrome-walled License to dream No, I ain’t starving for love and attention But when I look into your eyes I look into your eyes There’s a great gleam of hatred Going down in this bar And you know that it’s nowhere And you wanna go far I see you want to be A mirror-backed jacket Put on your make up And give me an eyeful No, I ain’t starving for love or attention But when I look into your eyes I can't resist the temptation Can't resist the temptation Resist the temptation Temptation

Favourite Thoughts 02:06

Favourite Thoughts I kissed the window cleaner today Cause all my skies have just turned to grey Now when the sun comes out I’ve got something to shout about Some faces grow gracefully older My mind just turns over and over My favorite thoughts grow out of minefields Tender Greek orgies meant for the garden And you know that he really loves you And you know that he really loves you And I know you just don’t care at all \but fate stakes great overcoming So many fears turn into Gods Why can't people be just like memories Grace to fade until they’re forgotten But you know, I’ll never forget you You know I’ll never forget you Never, never, never, never Never at all

The Ghost Is Back The Ghost Is Back Dressed in black Silver sleepers On the railroad tracks The windscreen’s green With summer sheen The diamonte Leopard screams The car pulls up Outside the shop The sky is dark And the air is hot I’ve got five rings That tell me things If you could only Hear them sing At the window She pulls back her face A silhouette Of Latin lace The leather on His boots is cracked They collect dust As he turns back The day has died A quiet death The night pulls back It’s funeral dress Tomorrows papers Bound in string Sleep in silent Majesty All right, a riot All right, a riot Yeah, yeah, yeah Behind smoked-glass Beneath his hat His eyes are dreaming Like a cats Late night drunk Falls through the door He’s “Got God’s shoes Gonna kill you all”
