The Seventh Stranger
Those words are all remainders
Echos growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naivetys star.
Awaken all those whispers,
The dusty shadow of a passing favour
I wouldnt say that you were ruthless or right
I couldnt see from so far.
Was I chasing after rainbows?
One thing for sure - you never answered when I called.
And I wiped away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger...
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
Im changing my name just as the sun goes down -
In the eyes of the stranger!
Cant tell the real from reflections
When all these faces look the same to me
In every city such a desolate dream.
Some days are strange to number
Some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger

Last Chance On The Stairway
I dont remember quite how I met you, wasnt long ago
Just get a picture of sun, in your eyes,
The waves in your hair
Maybe its something said in a movie or you couldve said last night.
Just took me out on a limb
And I dont really know what Im doing here.
And sometimes Im caught in a landslide
My beats so in time, can you look at me
Im out of reach, Ill talk if it feels right
Ive had my last chance on the stairway.
Funny its just like a scene out of voltaire, twisting out of sight
cause when all the curtains are pulled back
Well turn and see the circles wet raced
Aint no game... (oooh)
When youre playing with fire
It doesnt seem right that we fight
So the party runs on all night
And sometimes Im caught in a landslide
My beats so in time can you look at me
Im out of reach Ill talk if it feels right

First Impression
(taylor, rhodes, le bon, cuccurrullo, campbell)
(a rock-n-roll star)
He turns on the animal, its that time of day,
Here comes little johnny from the back streets of the uk
Hes got the answer it doesnt go away
Hes gonna treat you right
Yeah hes gonna change the world tonight (world tonight)
The lasting first impression, is what youre looking for!
I said oh!,
Is that your first impression?
And is that good enough for you?
He dont want illusions
A power glory ride,
Doesnt run with the neighborhood shadows -
Wanna let your body slide
He wont give up, and he wont give in
And he wont let up until he gets inside your pretty skin
(I said ohh!)
(chorus)
He turns on the animal its that time of day,

I Believe / All I Need To Know (medley)
The taxman's in the pocketbook
The pressmen are by the bar
And all the world is at your door
It's strange that you should lock it up
And preach an open heart
But you know what they're waiting for
You can turn your face away now
And don't think twice
I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know
I'm not after your money
Or even your advice
I believe you'll follow me
It's all I need to know
(to walk away)
I was tempted by the devil in this deep blue swimming pool
Until the devils makeup ran..
And my future's in the strangle hold of ever changing rules
I don't intend to understand
You can stop pretending now that I had you fooled
I'm still the ordinary guy you used to know

Election Day
(lebon, rhodes, taylor)
Wild kind of look to the day, opening eyes impale neon flickers
She moon, she turning away,
The citys her slave, hes cheating his mistress
Shes moody and grey, shes mean and shes restless
(so restless, so restless indeed)
All over you as they say,
Rumours or rivals yell at the strike force -
Hi guys, by the way, are you aware youre being illegal (ooh)
Its making your saviour behaviour look evil
scuse my timing but say,
How dyou fit in with this flim, flam and judy
Maximum big suprise your smile is something new
I pull my shirt off and pray,
Were sacred and bound to suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray,
Were coming up on re-election day
Stretching my love down the way
To your invitation stretching my body
Use your intuitive play

Time For Temptation
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do
(good, good, good, good temptation)
Why you chasing a lost religion of guilty feelings
-that belong in yesterday?
Spy the preachers a politician, he carries the cross like a gun
- whip you into shape
Heres the rub, now, no secret hours locked in the backroom if you
- come together right
Check your vision and push it out there
- you make the question, define what its all about
(chorus)
(oh) oh...
With chains or heaven across your shoulder,
A slave for promotion to the afterlife
The boss gets fat while you just get older, here comes a mission
- set to put you right
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do - oh
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you

The Reflex
(words and music duran duran)
You gone too far this time
But Im dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebodys fooling around -
With my chances on the dangerline
Ill cross that bridge when I find it
Another day to make my stand, oh..
High time is no time for deciding
If I should find a helping hand, oh..
So why dont you use it
Try not to bruse it
Buy time dont lose it
(chorus)
The reflex is an only child, hes waiting in the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isnt that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a
Question mark
Im on a ride and I want to get off
But they wont slow down the roundabout

Stop Dead
Stop!
Stop!
Stop dead,
Stop stop stop stop stop stop
I pulled up at a west end junction (seeker of attention)
A full body kit and bass bins pumping (size up competition)
Come on red light, get into green,
I hit the brake, I must be dreaming..
Im stop! (stop), dead! (dead), in my tracks (in my tracks)
Got to fix on you.
Dont wanna loose you, from my sight
Where ya going to?
Gotta know now..
Stop! (stop), dead! (dead), in my tracks (in my tracks)
Got to fix on you.
Dont wanna loose, you from my sight
Where ya going to?
Oh-oh-oh
Ive got my eyes on the action (killer reputation)
Heat crazed in full satisfaction (become a phaser? )

Seven & The Ragged Tiger
(lebon, rhodes, taylor, taylor, taylor)
You told me once a second chance was not worth waiting for
A million chances later, you dont know how right you were
Dont mean you dont dream cause the beating on the door
The russian high who needs to die begins to realise
That all those days in mischief have your soul in paradise
I dont know that those time that you were foolish and unwise
And Ive seen all reason hit the floor
I dont need no reservations
But I can do things that Ive never done before
Playing with a fire ball you cant touch
But you can soar with seven and the ragged tiger (2x)
Like the morning wild warning
Fires are alive, dont have a choice
The danger boys are hoping for a fight it seems
I cant bleed I dont dance anymore
All armed with superstition til the birds have flocked our way
Somebody ought to tell them we dont care what people say
Not afraid dont believe in those stories anymore
They just hang their victims to the wall

Astronaut
Verse 1
hey!
Makes my hair stand up on end,
something alien happening,
sychronize but don't comprehend,
cos where i stop that's where you begin!
Another moment i commit,
a pleasure rise im gonna take the hit,
and i'm addicted to the state your in,
cos your getting me out of it!
Chorus
Wasted, there's nothing gonna ace this,
and we're gonna go to space, dear,
cos i'm leaving with An Astronaut!
Music
Da Da Da Da!

Verse 2
Proven now to X-ray specs,
something tells me your the alien sex,
