Speak & Spell
1. NEW LIFE
I
stand still stepping on the shady streets
and I watch that man to
a stranger
think you only know me when you turn on the light
now
the room is lit, red danger
Complicating,
circulating
New life, new life
operating, generating
New
life, new life
Transition
to another place
so the time will pass more slowly
Your
features fuse and your shadow´s red
like a film I´ve seen now
show me
Complicating,
circulating
New life, new life
operating, generating
New
life, new life
Your
face is hidden and we´re out of sight
and the road just leads to
nowhere
the stranger in the door is the same as before
so the
question answers nowhere
Complicating,
circulating
New life, new life
operating, generating
New
life, new life
I
stand still stepping on the shady streets
and I watch that man to
a stranger
think you only know me when you turn on the light
now
the room is lit, red danger
Complicating,
circulating
New life, new life
operating, generating
New
life, new life
2.
I SOMETIMES WISH I WAS DEAD
New
sound all around
You can hear it too
Getting hot, never
stop
Just for me and you
Playing on my radio and saying that
you had to go
New
day turn away
Wipe away the tear
New night, feel right
Knowing
that you're here
Dancing with you all the time,
and don't you
think that it's a crime
Back
street never meet
Never say goodbye
I know where you go
But
I don't know why
You say that it's from above,
and I say this
is modern love
3.
PUPPETS
Get
that feeling, Head is reeling
You think you're in control
But
you don't know me babe
I can move you
I can soothe you
I can
take you places in a different way
I
don't think you understand
What I'm trying to say
I'll be your
operator baby
I'm in control
Watch
your action
Close reaction
And everything you're thinking babe
inside your head
Conversation, my creation
Nothing that you
do
You do unless I said
You
don't know the consequences
Of the things you say
I'll be
your operator baby
I'm in control
All
the things you tried to do babe
And all the words we said
before
Are only part of what I started baby
And you can't
stop me anymore
4.
BOYS SAY GO!
You
don't understand
This is a demand
And I think that I have to
show you
Try to look inside
Take me for a ride
In the day
and the night
Get to know you
Boys
meet boys get together
Boys meet boys live forever
Don't say
no
Boys say go
I
can run away
If you never stay
And the rain and the pain and
the sorrow
I'm not very sure
When you close the door
If the
end is the same as tomorrow
Boys!
Boys!
Boys
say go!
5.
NODISCO
I
saw you in the picture
I saw you play the part
This ain't
nodisco
There's a thousand watts in you
You take this too
far
This ain't nodisco
Sometimes
when I wonder if you're taking a chance
This ain't nodisco
And
you know how to dance
Move
me disco
Baby don't you let go
This ain't nodisco
Part
one
Act one
Everyone pretend
This ain't nodisco
This is
more a story
And we're reaching the end
This ain't nodisco
Always
makes me happy
when you're taking a chance
This ain't
nodisco
And you know how to dance
Move
me disco
Baby don't you let go
This ain't nodisco
6.
WHAT´S YOUR NAME?
Sometimes
watch you walk the street at midnight
Sometimes I can feel you in
the air
Looking good
Knew you would
All the time I
understood
Hey,
you're such a pretty boy,
Hey, you're such a pretty boy,
Hey,
you're such a pretty boy,
You're so pretty
Everybody
seems to look your way now
(Everybody seems to look your
way)
Everybody wants to know your name
(Hey, hey, what's your
name)
Feeling right
Just tonight
Hear them say you're out of
sight
All
the boys we got to get together
All the boys together we can
stand
We can go
Never know
All the things we need to show
Hey
you're such a pretty boy (you're so pretty)
Hey you're such a
pretty boy (you're so pretty)
Hey you're such a pretty boy
You're
so pretty (p-r-e, double-t-y)

PHOTOGRAPHIC
A
white house, a white room
The program of today
Lights on,
switch on
Your eyes are far away
The map represents you
And
the tape is your voice
Follow all along you
Till you recognize
the choice
I
take pictures
Photographic pictures
Bright
light
Dark room
Bright light
Dark room
I
said I'd write a letter
But I never got the time
And I'm
looking to the day
I mesmerise the light
The
years I spend just thinking
Of a moment we both knew
A second
boss looking into
It seems it can't be true
8.
TORA! TORA! TORA!
They
were raining from the sky
Exploding in my heart
Is this a love
in disguise
Or just a form of modern art
From
the skies you could almost hear them cry
Tora Tora Tora
In the
town they were going down
Tora Tora Tora
I
had a nightmare only yesterday
You played a skeleton
You took
my love then died that day
I played an American
From
the skies you can almost hear them cry
Tora! Tora! Tora!
In the
town they were going down
Tora! Tora! Tora!
I played an American

BIG MUFF - INSTRUMENTAL
10.
ANY SECOND NOW
She
remembered all the shadows and the doubts
The same film
Vivid
pictures like a wall that's standing empty
And the night so
still
Such a small affair a relapse someone closing
Like the
nightclub door
Here again and when you speak I watch you move
away
And seem so sure
She
is hoping to forget and the moment
Almost slips away
When the
colours move apart and I wonder
If you want to stay
And I need
to change you like the words I'm reading
Don't you understand
This
the warning and the message I remember
As you touch my hand
11.
JUST CAN´T GET ENOUGH
When
I'm with you baby
I go out of my head
And I just can't get
enough
And I just can't get enough
All the things you do to
me
And everything you said
I just can't get enough
I just
can't get enough
We
slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get
enough of
We
walk together
We're walking down the street
And I just can't
get enough
And
I just can't get enough
Every time I think of you
I know we
have to meet
And I just can't get enough
I just can't get
enough
It's
getting hotter
It's a burning love
And I just can't seem to get
enough of
And
when it rains
You're shining down for me
And I just can't get
enough
And I just can't get enough
Just like a rainbow
You
know you set me free
And I just can't get enough
And I just
can't get enough
You're
like an angel
And you give me your love
And I just can't seem
to get enough of

DREAMING OF ME
Light
switch
Man switch
Film was broken only then
All the
night
Fused tomorrow
Dancing with a distant friend
Filming
and screening
I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming
Dreaming
of me
So
we left
Understanding
Cleancut so we're sounding fast
Talked
of sad
I talked of war
I laughed and climbed the rising cast
Quickly
I remembered
Fused and saw a face before
Timing
reason
Understanding
Like association hall
13.
ICE MACHINE
Running
through my head secretly
The shouts of the boys in the factory
I
ring you on the telephone silently
Like blood, like the wine in
the darkroom scene
The darkroom scene,darkroom scene
A
letter once composed
Seven years long and as tall as a
tree
Reading On the wall
Emissions, efficiency
Efficiency,efficiency
Resurrect,as
a feeling,on my window
Of a past reunion
Resurrect,as
a feeling,on my window
Of a past reunion
Vision ao a picture
like the city
And the air we breathe
The air we breathe air we breathe
She
stood beside me once again
I knew her face
We met before in the
street
Recalling all the children dancing at our feet
The dancing feet, dancing feet
14.
SHOUT!
She
was silent trying to be
Like the girl who acted on the TV
Always
knowing when to say
Wishing for a moment so that they could see
Staring
in the night
A picture in my room
And I think that she knew her
lines
Break
away tonight
I wanna hold your hand
We've got to get it
right
We've got to understand
Carefully
watching waiting as I
Stood upon the back streets and we start to
play
I was screaming louder as the
Curtains fall between us in
a twisted way
Staring
in the night
A picture in my room
And I think that she knew her
lines
Break
away tonight
I wanna hold your hand
We've got to get it
right
We've got to understand
Placing
all the questions in the
Minutes of a game we won so long
ago
Dangerous and beautiful the
Radio transmission that I have
to know
You
could never run
You could never stay
And I think you belong to
me
Break
away tonight
I wanna hold your hand
We've got to get it
right
We've got to understand
