Do The Strand
there's a new sensation, a fabulous creation
a danceable solution to teenage revolution
do the strand, love, when you feel love
it's the new way, that's why we say
do the strand
do it on the tables, quaglino's place or mabel's
slow and gentle, sentimental
all styles served here, louis seize he prefers
laissez-faire le strand
tired of the tango, fed up with fandango
dance on moonbeams, slide on rainbows
in furs or blue jeans, you know what i mean
do the strand
.....
we're playing our tune by the pale moon
we're incognito down the lido
and we like the strand
had your fill of quadrilles, the madison and cheap thrills
bored with the beguine, the samba isn't your scene
if you feel blue look through who's who

Pandoras Lullaby
So you hugged the globe
Now its whirling too fast
I really got no hope to hang on to the past
The train has departed, the toxins have started
To announce that none will last
I cower in the gutter of a world thats not so near
And I listen to their mutters that are spinning through the air
The words unspoken, the promises broken
And the ones who really care
Im the watcher of the scene
I see our shadows on the screen
And when the subway brakes to preserve some suicidal bee
I stop to breathe for a while
Maybe it was me
This is the world gliding by
Like the driftwood beams
On a lifetimes stream
The instant fundamental sky for pandoras lullaby
I see distorted faces coined like gold
And in their wrinkles programs that commercial gurus told

Red Rose
Little girl, do you know what you are, do you know
This babys gonna be a star, do you know
A teenangel empress from hollywood highs
With wonderful eyes
Your beautiful, put on your stratoblue suit
I know that your in the mood to fly
We got the power to make it come true
The most exciting news
Well be together till the end of time
And when you smile, red rose, its just like blue sunshine
Oh, were ascending and well never die
Cause when we kiss, red rose, were changing 6 to 9
Its revolution time
When 6 turns into 9
Move over, closer to my fantasies, pretty baby
Were standing at the turn of the centuries
The daughter of time is dancing tonite
Little dreamer, youre the d.j. of your soul
Cmon, lets swing to that rock and roll
The sweetest arrows of desire will set this dance on fire

Days Full Of Wonder
When you feel so far away though you're close to everything
And the feeling of estrangement's creeping up on spider's legs
Even in these days of wonder, even in the age of faith
There are some who goin' under
There are some who never got it made
So you passed so many years in a labyrinth of traces
Running round and round they led to no one but yourself
Here comes the eternal stranger
He who has fallen from grace to the iron grounds
And i'm tolling my bell just to let you know
I'm here by your side in these days full of wonder
In the ashes of your time when the dragon screams for more
The reptiles make their comeback in your eyes
And heroes fall for heroin and heaven falls for fake
And doris' daisies burn to hell on the grand parade of lies
In the middle of the night when the last of god has died
And the only friend you've got is the heartbeat of the clock
That music plays for all time, the tv light is freezing
The war-paint on your face..

Sounds Like A Melody
Alphaville:
Sounds like a melody
Its a trick of my mind
To faces bathing in the screenlight
Shes so soft and warm in my arms
I tune it into the scene
My hand are resting on her shoulders
When were dancing away for a while
Oh, were moving, were falling, we step into the fire
By the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream
Theres no reason to hurry, just start that brand new story
Set it alight, were head over heels in love
Head over heels
The ringing of your laughter it sounds like a melody
To once forbidden places well go for a while
Its the definite show
Our shadows resting in the moonlight
Its so clear and bright in your eyes
Its the touch of your sighs
My lips are resting on your shoulder

The End
I can hardly wait to see her coming down the stairs
A demons playin in my head a melody I cant forget
Shes a beauty in her sorrow, each step a falling chord
That crackles in the giant mirrors at the marble walls
I feel so different today, Im ready to explode
Into kaleidoscopes of strange delight
Come embrace me, say youll love me till the very end
Before I vanish in the shifting sands of time
Death, the lover
Death, the lover
Come embrace
Say youll love me
Till the very end
Come, embrace
Till the very end
Of time
Once I was so sure not knowing leaving traces in the dust
till you said theres nothing new
Except the things that we forgot
Here I stand awaiting for a signal from oblivion

Mercury Girl
Shes staying around or else shes goin away
It could be forever or it might be a day
Or may be forever I call her a mercury girl
Shes building me up & then shes knocking me down
Like a factory chimney in a northern town
And I am demolished I call her a mercury girl
She never sees me till the sun goes down
Lives in a secret world
Says: her career is in another town
Life with a mercury girl
One day once when Ive got some time
I try to hold her but she wouldnt be mine
She slipped through my fingers & I missed the mercury girl
She came back to me with her mocking eyes
She told me she loved me but it could have been lies
And life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl
Life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl
One day once when Ive got some time
I try to hold her but she wouldnt be mine
She slipped through my fingers & I missed the mercury girl

Shadows She Said
there's no more place to go
the other bars are closed
the night the stranger came to town
how do you know
when you're right or wrong?
how do you know
if you hurt or if you don't?
so many people say so many things
but nobody agrees on anything
there's no more place to go
shadows she said
there's no more place to go
shadows she said
this night's an empty shell
shadows she said
and all the shadows followed after her
you burned the book of life
the cradle and the tomb
how could you ever dare
there's no more turning back

Nostradamus
Estant assis de nuict secret estude,
Seul repos sur la selle daerain:
Flambe exigue sortant de sollitude,
Fait prosprer qui nest croire vain.
La verge en main mise au milieu de branches,
De londe il moulle & le limbe & le pied:
Un peur & voix fremissent par les manches:
Splendeur divine. le divin pres sassied.
Le regne humain dangelique geniture,
Fera son regne paix union tenir:
Captive guerre demy de sa closture,
Long temps la paix leur fera maintenir.
En la frontiere de caussade & charlus,
Non guieres loing du fond de la vallee,
De ville franche musique son de luths,
Environnez combouls & grand mittee.
Avant long temps le tout sera rang,
Nous esperons un siecle bien senestre:
Lestat des masques & des seuls bien chang,
Peu trouveront qu son rang vueille estre.
