Crushed By The Wheels Of Industry

Call me in the morning just before the breakfast show We'll watch TV and analyse the weather Before we go to work we'll have planned the day ahead We'll while away the working day together Work all day or work all night it's all the same If you want to play Some are nurses Some steal purses Some are workers Some are not It is time for a party Liberation for the nation now!

Crushed by the wheels of industry

There's a party going on that's going to change the way we live but how do we know we've even been invited Now the invitation's waiting and the table is reserved So just play it cool and don't get excited Work all day or work all night it's all the same Will we ever change It's vocation or vacation Some are workers some are not It is time for a party Syncopation for the nation now

Crushed by the wheels of industry

Breaking in the future just before the week is up They can do it but it's going to take some money Have what you desire if and when you see the fact They will lead us to the land of milk and honey Work all day or work all night it's all the same If you want the pay Some drive tankers Some are bankers Some are workers Some are not It is time for a party Liberation for the nation now!

Who'll Stop The Rain

Who'll stop the rain Who'll stop the action East side west side The world moves on

I heard a rumour that fires were started Flame in the streets and tension uncharted Bigger than life at the edge of the city Ashes and diamonds gleaming with pity

Who'll stop the rain Who'll stop the action East side west side The world moves on

Between midnight and dawn you slept through the deadlines Believe in me and we'll hit the tall headlines Look up and laugh be happy today Here come the waves count three pray

Who'll stop the rain Who'll stop the action East side west side The world moves on

A global affair in big house U.S.A. A moving violation angels over Broadway The next voice you hear will be the main attraction The next time we love standby for action Meet me tonight and love me for ever Let's be happy let's be famous whatever the weather The rain must fall and night time is calling Golden boy and golden girl it's a great day in the morning

Who'll stop the rain Who'll stop the action East side west side The world moves on

Let Me Go

Once there was a day We were together all the way An endless path unbroken But now there is a time A torture less sublime Our souls are locked and frozen

Once we were years ahead but now those thoughts are dead Let me go All hopeless fantasies are making fools of me Let me go I walk alone and yet I never say goodbye Let me go A change of heart a change of mind and heaven fell that night Let me go

I tried but could not bring The best of everything Too breathless then to wonder I died a thousand times Found guilty of no crime Now everything is thunder

Daytime all I want is Nighttime I don't need the Daytime all I want is Nighttime I don't need the

The best years of our lives The hope of it survives The facts of life unspoken The only game in town I'll turn the last card down And now the bank is broken

Found guilty of no crime They were the best years of our lives I'll turn the last card down

Key To The World

I'm working every hour but I'm heading for a crash I'm sick of living fast and running short of cash Tell me what's so bad about wanting to feel so good I want a better life and I'd like to buy one if I could

I've got my key I've got my key to the world Liquidity don't bother me I've got my key to the world

They'll send me all their money and all I have to do is sign Living in a big way a winner all the time In just five golden hours I'd bought myself a car I sold my soul for charge plate gold we know who you are

My key to the world

It's all too easy Buying items on your wish list it's easier than you think But trying to fill the luxury gap has pushed me to the brink To friends I am a legend the man who had them beat But to the credit agencies I'm Mr. Obsolete ---- delete!

My key to the world

Temptation

I've never been closer I've tried to understand That certain feeling Carved by another's hand But it's too late to hesitate We can't keep on living like this Leave no track Don't look back

All I desire Temptation Keep climbing higher and higher Temptation Adorable creatures Temptation With unacceptable features Temptation Trouble is coming Temptation It's just the high cost of loving Temptation You can take it or leave it Temptation But you'd better believe it

You've got to make me an offer That cannot be ignored So let's head for home now Everything I have is yours Step by step and day by day Every second counts I can't break away Leave no trace Hide your face

Keep us from temptation Lead us not into temptation

Trying to find it Temptation You've got to get up behind it Temptation Put your dime in the hot slot Temptation But it's a million to one shot Temptation You think that you're right no Temptation You're going to fake it tonight now Temptation Give me a breakdown Temptation Because it's time for a shakedown

Come Live With Me

I was thirty-seven You were seventeen You were half my age The youth I'd never seen Unlikely people meeting in a dream Heaven only knows the way it should have been

Here today my tomorrow Where you lead I will follow All that kissing No passion missing Come live with me Kiss the boys goodbye

Dinner parties followed And all my age implies My friends began to talk I began to realise If half the things they say Are quarter true of me Then how can I eclipse the youth You gave to set me free

There was something in your smile That was hard to reconcile The time had come to testify to reason Though years will not erase Remembrance of those days At least there's no submission to hearts treason

Here today my tomorrow No more shame only sorrow All that kissing There's something missing Come live with me Kiss the boys goodbye

Now there's nothing left to cry for And there's nowhere left to go Just another hopeless fight But how were we to know The strong are sometimes wrong But the weak are never free The choice we made we can't evade Don't try to follow me

Here today my tomorrow No more pain only sorrow All that kissing There's something missing Come live with me Kiss the boys goodbye Come live with me Kiss the boys goodbye

Lady Ice And Mr Hex

Stop!

Does he know the way out of here Or will she again interfere It's happening all over again

Lady Ice and Mr. Hex She'll leave you could he'll make you flex They disappear without a trace Accelerate and take your place The creep's arrived he's in your home Like all the dreams you've never known He's standing by to steal your luck He's spotted you you're panic struck

Stop!

They're standing either side of you They guide you but they block your view Lady Ice with medium cool Will set you up she's watching you She'll trip you out and trap you in Strain every nerve to make you spin He'll pick you up and make you strong Thrust up, boost on, the man is gone

Stop!

Does he know the way out of here Or will she again interfere It's happening all over again

Look!

They made me a promise today They know that I can't go away It's happening all over again

We Live So Fast

Please don't ask me to stay I'm leaving this town Don't worry now Believe me as I believe that Luck is on my side The future is mine If I can find A way through these strange days of my life

We live so fast Motion, motion No time to waste Use it, use it We live so fast Motion, motion Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow We live so fast Motion, motion We can't stand still Move it, move it We live so fast Motion, motion Move out of my way it's time to make it happen

The streets deserted and cold They're not paved with gold But I don't care For those who think young will still survive Making their move Hoping to prove That they can face This big city, small world, big time

But now I know their ways I found my place Saw their true face There's nothing to stay for so I'll go I'll pick up the phone Still searching for home We life so fast Alone but not lonely I move on
