1. New Life
I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watch that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit with 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 shadowīs red
Like a film Iīve seen now show me
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life
Your face is hidden and weīre out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The stranger in the door is the same as before
So the question answerīs 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. Puppets
Get the feeling, head is reeling
You think youīre in control but you donīt know me babe
I can move you, I can soothe you
I can take you places in a different way
And I donīt think you understand
What Iīm trying to say
Iīll be your operator baby
Iīm in control
Watch your action, close reaction
And everything youīre thinking babe inside your head
Conversation, my creation
Nothing that you do you do unless I said
And you donīt know the consequences
Of the things you say
Iīll be your operator baby
Iīm in control
All the things you tried to do babe
And all the words weīve said before
Are only part of what I started baby
And you canīt stop me anymore
Get the feeling, head is reeling
You think youīre in control but you donīt know me babe
I can move you, I can soothe you
I can take you places in a different way
And I donīt think you understand
What Iīm trying to say
Iīll be your operator baby
Iīm in control
3. Dreaming of Me
Light switch, man switch
Film was broken only then
All the night, viewed tomorrow
Dancing with a distant friend
Filming and screening, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me
So we left, understanding
Clean cut, some were sounding fast
Talked of sad, I talked of war
I laughed and climbed the rising cast
Filming and screening, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me
Quickly, I remember
Viewed that sort of face before
Timing reason, understanding
Like Association Hall
Filming and screening, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me
Dreaming of me (Oooh, la la la ...)
Just dreaming of me
Itīs only me
Just me
4. Boys Say Go !
oys say go!
Boys say go!
Boys say go!
Boys say go!
You donīt understand
This is in 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 itīs forever
Donīt say no
Boys say go
I could run away
If you never stay
And the rain and the pain and the sorrow
Iīm not very sure
When you close the door
In the end itīs the same as tomorrow
Boys meet boys get together
Boys meet boys itīs forever
Donīt say no
Boys say go
You donīt understand
This is in 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 itīs forever
Donīt say no
Boys say go
5. No Disco
I saw you in the picture
I saw you play the part
This ainīt nodisco
Thereīs a thousand watching you
You take this too far
This ainīt nodisco
Sometimes when I wonder if youīre taking a chance
This ainīt nodisco and you know how to dance
Move me disco, baby donīt you let go
This ainīt nodisco
Part one act one
Everyone pretend
This ainīt nodisco
This is more a story
And weīre reaching the end
This ainīt nodisco
Always makes me happy when youīre taking a chance
This ainīt nodisco and you know how to dance
Move me disco, baby donīt you let go
This ainīt nodisco
I saw you in the picture
I saw you play the part
This ainīt nodisco
Thereīs a thousand watching you
You take this too far
This ainīt nodisco
Sometimes when I wonder if youīre taking a chance
This ainīt nodisco and you know how to dance
Move me disco, baby donīt you let go
Move me disco, baby donīt you let go
Move me disco, baby donīt you let go
This ainīt nodisco
6. Whatīs 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 youīre such a pretty boy
Hey youīre such a pretty boy
Hey youīre such a pretty boy
Youīre so pretty
Everybody seems to look your way now
(Everybody seems to look your way)
Everybody wants to know your name
(Hey, hey, whatīs your name)
Feeling bright just tonight
Hear them say youīre out of sight
Hey youīre such a pretty boy
Hey youīre such a pretty boy
Hey youīre such a pretty boy
Youīre so pretty
Hey youīre such a pretty boy
Hey youīre such a pretty boy
Hey youīre such a pretty boy
Youīre so pretty
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 youīre such a pretty boy
Hey youīre such a pretty boy
Hey youīre such a pretty boy
Youīre so pretty
Hey youīre such a pretty boy (youīre so pretty)
Hey youīre such a pretty boy (youīre so pretty)
Hey youīre such a pretty boy
Youīre so pretty (P-R-E, double-T-Y)
Hey youīre such a pretty boy
Hey youīre such a pretty boy
Youīre so pretty
7. 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 Iīd write a letter
But I never got the time
And looking to the day
I mesmerize the light
The years I spend just thinking
Of a moment we both knew
A second passed like an empty room
It seems it canīt be true
I take pictures
Photographic pictures
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
8. Tora ! Tora ! Tora !
They were raining from the sky
Exploding in my heart
Is this the love in disguise
Or just a form of modern art
From the skies you can almost hear their 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
I played an American
9. Big Muff - Instrumental
10. Any Second Now
She remembered all the shadows and the doubts
The same film
Vivid pictures like a wall thatīs 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 Iīm reading
Donīt you understand
This the warning and the message
I remember as you touch my hand
11. Just Canīt Get Enough
When Iīm with you baby, I go out of my head
And I just canīt get enough, I just canīt get enough
All the things you do to me and everything you said
And I just canīt get enough, I just canīt get enough
We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just canīt seem to get enough
We walk together, weīre walking down the street
And I just canīt get enough, I just canīt get enough
Every time I think of you I know we have to meet
And I just canīt get enough, I just canīt get enough
Itīs getting hotter, itīs our burning love
And I just canīt seem to get enough
And when it rains, youīre shining down for me
And I just canīt get enough, I just canīt get enough
Just like a rainbow you know you set me free
And I just canīt get enough, I just canīt get enough
Youīre like an angel and you give me your love
And I just canīt seem to get enough
