Can't Walk You Home
You're a rich girl we all know
daddy runs an airline,
mummy's eye is on the dough
and the butlers' on the bread-line
You're so bright you glide through school
brains run in the family
You've been taught the "how do you do"
and all your men are manly
I'm just a boy, not what you're used to
That is why I can't walk you home
that is why I can't walk you home
that is why I can't walk you home
that is why (Why) I can't walk you home
I don't want to run you down
I don't mind the money
but last time when you asked me round
you said I was funny
Pulling strings and pony tails
just to get to know me
The only time you'll ever fail

Romance
Away with all those tales of romance
You try so hard
And I cant take the heartbreak you weave
Dont cry alone
Oh baby baby dont give up on me
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up and you will see
Oh baby baby this I guarantee
Turn it up, turn it up itll be alright
Alright, I said some things need to change
Desires? . . . maybe
But I dont like to rearrange your lies (your lies)
So cry alone
Oh baby baby dont give up on me
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up Im begging please
Oh baby baby this I guarantee
Turn it up, turn it up itll be alright
Loves a special thing
Lovers only need honesty
Two hearts the same (two hearts the same)
Beating in the name of romance

Its Not The Same For Us
I know you live on my street
I sometimes wonder
Why we dont meet
Ive seen your face in the sky
Twenty-five stories high
You never come down to earth
Communication (communication)
Could hardly be much worse
Dont keep me here in the dark
I want to be your friend
Your fears are way off the mark
Every generation
Sees it their own way
Never learning their lessons
Making the same mistakes again
Its not the same for us - as history fades away
Its not the same for us - you must hear me when I say
Look out on this brave new land
Think of the future
The future that lays in our hands

Learn To Say No
No sweat, no pain
No lost, no gain
More of the same
Youve got to stop that straight away
Beg the question
There in the answer lies
Search your soul for a self control
(redefine your roll
But keep your feet on the ground)
Sooner or later
Maybe tomomrrow
Sooner or later
Youve got to learn to say no
Ill be cruel to be kind
You play it cool every time
Playing games in your mind
Youve got to stop that straight away
Sad and lonely
But you say youre having fun
Dont you know you been had enough

Sandstorm
I've got a sandstorm blowin' in my head,
I'm seein' many colours but the only one
That's coming through is red,
And it's stoppin' me dead tryin' to make some tracks
But my feet are feeling like lead,
Stop being blead, stop being blead
Oh my things aren't the same,
Anyone could see that if I stayed much longer,
I'd be tamed
We stopped playing games
I'm not pointing fingers but I'm not gonna take the blame
Playin' all your games, taking all your blames
I said oh no, I don't even care,
I guess I'll be seein' you,
I guess I'll be leaving you today,
We're just not a pair,
I know you've been trying but I just can't bear to tell a lie'
Stop tellin' me all your lies
Stop tellin' me all your lies
Let me take you by the hand,

A Physical Presence
I leave as I enter
Another boy caught in-between
Now all I can muster
Are whispers to your screams
Dont you remember
How you eased my disgrace
Dont you remember
The love you saw in my face
Perfected in silence
A physical presence
Perfected in silence
A physical presence
I sought affection
But now I realize
A cold rejection
The movement in your eyes
But I can remember
When you shook against me
I can remember
When I saw what love could be

True Believers
Stuck inside my harvard box
Behind the door the bauhaus locked
Im wrestling with a new ideal
Im working out the way I feel
I just came back from cultureburg
Where I tried to learn the painted word
People there were so convinced
Its kept me thinking ever since
Crazy, but true
I want to believe like you
Come with me, the teacher said
No side-to-side, look straight ahead
cause if you want true confidence
Youd best forget your common sense.
Go find yourself a point of view
And if you need some help to choose
Just dance the dance named after me
If you believe then you will see
Crazy, but true
Now I believe in you

The Chant Has Begun
The spirit of the people
The spirit of the people
The spirit of the people
The rhythm has begun ...
Old men with their protocol
Lead us off to war
Sometimes we dont even know
What were fighting for
Marching to the beat of their drum
Leaders we no longer trust
Told too many lies
The promises they made to us
Were never realised
Hear me now the chant has begun
Nowhere left to turn
No-one left to turn to
Voices raised in anger
They dont have the answer
Our whole worlds in danger
Oil slicks on the ebbing tide

All Over You
the sap is rising
and there's no disguising
what I feel for you
so mesmerising
got me fantasising
nothing I won't do
parascending, whoa oh
but it's all depending
on your sky so blue
my wings keep stalling
from the sky I'm falling
and it's over - all over you
all over you
let me build a nation
that bears no relation to the one we knew
take inspiration
from my own salvation
'cause it's over - all over you
get on board the gravy train
off the rails if you don't keep me sane
