Machine & Soul
(Single from 'Machine & Soul' album, 1992)
She likes film
Pictures too
A friend of mine
Something new
She like girls
Lives my dreams
Eats my face
She says 'Time to make me scream'
No crying
She don't like tears
My one chance
Is corruption
She likes pain
'E' please, Bob
Some heroes
But she don't like God
She likes rock
MTV
Sex machines
She says 'Time to make me bleed'
No romance
No surprise
My one chance
Is perversion
So this is
My secret
And this is
A new way to hide
So this is
My nightmare
And you're my
Solution
No memories
Nostalgia
My one chance
Is slow motion
So this is
The big lie
So this is
My reason to leave
So this is
My future
And you're my
Corruption
She likes speed
Low fast cars
Love and hate
Rock and roll stars
She likes cream
Long goodbyes
Someone to watch
She says 'Time to make me cry'
I'm nervous
She scares me
My one chance
Is emotion
So this is
Religion
So this is
Something to believe
So this is
God's disease
So this is
A new kind of cure
So this is
A new world
And you're my
Machine and soul
Cry
('Machine & Soul' album, 1992)
(Earlier version 'Cry Baby' was b-side to 'Machine & Soul' CD1 single)
I don't cry
Or forget
I'll cut my picture on your heart
No names
You've got one more game to lose
I was young
I was clean
But now my soul eats me alive
I was kind
Now I'm your first big mistake
Don't leave
What you gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?
She sold pain
She sold mine
She sold my secrets to the man
She sold lies
And so now I'll break 'The Word'
Don't leave
What you gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?
Tear up my picture
Tear up my face
You'll tear up your feelings but the memory's quite safe
Look back in anger
Look back and cry
Look up my number if you want to know why, but
Don't leave
What you gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?
Same need
Same cure
I'll whisper words to ease your shame
Play time
I've got one more trick for you
I don't pray
Wrong man
I don't look for love that I don't need
Wrong place
You've got one more chance to leave
I Wonder
(Early version - Wonder Eye)
('Machine & Soul' album, 1992 - Earlier version was b-side to M&S single)
And sometimes
When I'm lonely
I think of you
And I wonder
And sometimes
When someone
Calls your name
I wonder
You changed my life
And you could've changed my world
And I
Miss your voice and
I miss your heartbeat
I miss your face and
I miss you
And sometimes
When I'm sleeping
I dream of you
And I wonder
And sometimes
When I forget
I call for you
And I wonder
You said, 'Goodbye'
You said, 'It's over'
You said, 'I'm tired
And I can't wait
All my life
I won't cry anymore'
And sometimes when
I wonder
I cry for you
And I miss you
And sometimes I
Remember
How to feel again
And I miss you
1999
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple
there were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' 2 run from the destruction
U know I didn't even care
'Cuz they say two thousand zero zero party over
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
So sue me if I go 2 fast
But life is just a party, and parties weren't meant 2 last
War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight
So if I gotta die I'm gonna listen 2 my body tonight
Yeah, they say two thousand zero zero party over
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
Lemme tell ya somethin'
If U didn't come 2 party
don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket
and baby he's ready 2 roar grrrraaaarrrrr
Yeah, everybody's got a bomb
we could all die any day
But before I'll let that happen
I'll dance my life away
Oh, they say two thousand zero zero party over
oops out of time
We're runnin' outta time
So tonight we gonna party like it's 1999
Say it 1 more time
Two thousand zero zero party over oops
out of time
So tonight we gonna
Alright, it's 1999
You say it, 1999
1999
1999 don't stop, don't stop, say it 1 more time
Two thousand zero zero party over
oops out of time
So tonight we gonna
party like it's 1999
we gonna, oww
Yeah, 1999
Don'tcha wanna go
Don'tcha wanna go
We could all die any day
I don't wanna die
I'd rather dance my life away
Listen 2 what I'm tryin' 2 say
Everybody, everybody say party
C'mon now, U say party
That's right, everybody say
Can't run from the revelation, no
Sing it 4 your nation y'all
Tell me what you're singin', baby say
Telephone's a-ringin', mama
Everybody
Work it down 2 the ground, say
Come on, take my body, baby
That's right, c'mon, sing the song
(Party)
That's right
Got a lion in my pocket mama grr, say
Oh--and he's ready 2 roar
The Hauntings
(B-side, 'Machine and Soul 2' single, 1992)
*Instrumental*
Soul Protection
('Outland' album, 1991)
Johnny's got a job
Spreading the cure
Self employed
He's a one man crusade
We want to give you your soul protection
Something inside
Big mistake
Spread the word
To the new generation
We want to give you your soul protection
One more night
One more dream
One more time
One more scream
One more heart
One more name
One more chance
For your soul protection
Johnny's got pride
'I'll pay it all back'
Now he calls it
'The poetry of motion'
Listen to this
This is life
Listen to your heart
And you're living under clock law
We want to give you your soul protection
Hide your fear
Hide your shame
Hide your tears
And hide your pain
Hide your face
Hide your name
Hide your need
For your soul protection
Everyone's scared
Big glass house
Don't throw stones
At your soul protection
Johnny's got faith
Prays to God
Mention love
And he calls it 'nostalgia'
We want to give you your soul protection
Confession
('Outland' album, 1991)
Listen up
This is confession
This machine motion is sure to break my heart
Listen up
This is confession
Recorded music sticks in the throat of God
IOU you don't own me
IOU you don't own me
Party time, one more night, everybody's affected
Listen up
This is confession
You are a poison that flows into my veins
Listen up
This is confession
I've never been so scared of letting you down
You know me, so come closer
You know me, so come closer
Party time, one more town, everybody's affected
I know you, you don't need me
I know you, you don't need me
Party time, one more girl, everybody's affected
Listen up
This is confession
They tell me heaven just has to be somewhere
Listen up
This is confession
I'd lie to God if I could make him believe
You owe me, and I need you
You owe me, and I need you
Party time, one more game, everybody's affected
This is my confession
This is my confession
Party time, one more lie, everybody's affected
Your Fascination
(Single from 'The Fury' album, 1985)
My confession
I'll steal anything in sight or sound
My confession
This is the sound of fear
And I'll fall down
No more pictures
For now now now
No more pictures
For now now now
I don't suppose you ever laughed at me
Your fascination leaves me cold
I don't suppose you ever laughed at me
Your fascination leaves me cold
I don't suppose you ever loved at all
I don't need it
If you're gonna leave
Then do it soon
I don't need it
Everything you've ever seen I've seen before
Leave her to me
For now now now
Leave her to me
For now now now
I don't suppose you ever laughed at me
Your fascination leaves me cold
I don't suppose you ever laughed at me
Your fascination leaves me cold
I don't suppose you ever loved at all
I don't need it
I don't need it
I don't need it
For now now now
I don't need it
For now now now
I don't suppose you ever laughed at me
Your fascination leaves me cold
I don't suppose you ever laughed at me
Your fascination leaves me cold
I don't suppose you ever loved at all
If you want it
Every little girl is welcome here
If you want it
Every little girl is welcome here
If you want it
Every little girl is welcome here
If you want it
Every little girl is welcome here
Outland
('Outland' album, 1991)
I'm in Outland
Sex tension
She whispers things I need
Look in her heart
Slow motion
'I've been expecting you'
I'm in Outland
I'll do anything
I'm in Outland
Storm my heart
Tear me up if you like
Come closer
Say nothing
I've got something for you
I shape sound
I shape time
I'll shape your world for you
I'm in Outland
I'll do anything
I'm in Outland
Emotion
Dark whispers in my head
Got the sex scream
On new film
I've got the friend I need
Don't play safe
Don't play games
Don't play if you can't lose
I'm in Outland
I'll do anything
Respect
('Metal Rhythm' album, 1988)
That's OK
If that's the way you want to play it
I don't mind
I can play it any way
You won't stop
Until I pull you to pieces
Which I will in time
But I'm still curious
You're so young
Not one backbone between you
But you think you'll make a hero
Quite peculiar
You're just boys
You don't know what you've angered
Did you know you're talking to the heart
Of the machine
Welcome boys
Welcome to the real world
I could almost feel sorry
But I could be wrong
I know you
I know what you've been doing
I know where you live
And I know where you are
You know me
I'm the smiling assassin
You know I won't forgive
And you know I won't forget
