Complex
(Single from 'The Pleasure Principle'
album, 1979)
They won't come back
You know it's always the same
And they're sure to forget
Saying, 'Everyone lies'
So I'm down to this
I'm down to walking on air
And you're here by my side
With all your waving and smiles
Please keep them away
Don't let them touch me
Please don't let them lie
Don't let them see me
Me, I Disconnect
From You
('Replicas' album, 1979)
The alarm rang for days
You could tell from conversations
I was waiting by the screen
I couldn't recognise my photograph
Me, I disconnect from you
I was walking up the
stairs
Something moved in silence
I could feel his mind decaying
Only inches away from me
And I disconnect from you
Please don't turn me off
I don't know what I'm doing outside
Me and the telephone that never rings
If you were me what would you do?
Me, I disconnect from you
Bombers
Look up I hear the
scream of sirens on the wall
I see a policeman crying in the back seat
of a dying ford
Hotel waiters leave the bedrooms of stars
who are far too old
And no-one ever told me that I could be so
cold
Bombers flight at zero
Feet, feet
Bombers flight at zero
I see an old man knocked
to the ground and beaten by the vicar's
wife
And no-one stops to help they're far too
busy tring to save their own lives
A tiny girl screams for mother and wanders
out into the street
I saw her go down underneath a thousand
people's running feet
Bombers flight at zero
Feet, feet
Bombers flight at zero
All the junkies pulling
needles from their arms and hope it lasts
the night
All the soldiers curse the day they joined
the army and prepare to fight
In silent bars, in silent rooms, in silent
cars, you hide where you can
And me I know just where you are, you see,
I'm a bomber man
Bombers flight at zero
Feet, feet
Bombers flight at zero
