            (Taylor)

I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend trough teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
Radio

You gave them all these old time stars
Through wars of worlds - invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh - You made 'em cry
You made us feel that we could fly

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or  just don't care
And just complain if you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio.

All we hear is Radio ga ga
               Radio goo goo
               Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
               Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!

We watched the shows - we watched the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years.

Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio - Radio.

All we hear is Radio ga ga
               Radio goo goo
               Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
               Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!





               (May)

Are you ready? - well are you ready?

Give me your mind baby give me your body
Give me some time baby let's have a party
It ain't no time for sleeping baby
Soon it's round your street I'm creeping
 - You better be ready -

We gonna   Tear it up
           Stir it up
           Break it up - Baby


You gotta Tear it up
          Shake it up
          Make it up - as you go along

          Tear it up
          Square it up
          Wake it up - Baby

          Tear it up
          Stir it up
          Stake it up - and you can't go wrong

(Hey)
I love you cos you're sweet and I love you cos you're naughty
I love your mind baby but give me your body
I wanna be a toy at your birthday party
Wind me up - Wind me up - Wind me up - let me go

          Stir it up

 - Are you ready? (Oh yeah)
Baby baby baby are you ready for me? (Oh yeah)
Baby baby baby are you ready for love? (Oh yeah)
Are you ready - are you ready - are you ready for me? (Oh yeah)
I love you so near I love you so far
I gotta tell you baby you're driving me Ga Ga





               (Mercury)

I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart

This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone

You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
But now you say it's over and I'm fallin' apart

It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're inlove

I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to anyone

How it hurts - deep inside
When your love cuts you down to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waitin' for something to fall from the skies
Waiting for love

Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're inlove
Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in every way

It's a long hard fight
But I always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - I did it for love





               (Mercury)

I'm gonna take a little walk on the wild side
I'm gonna loosen up and get me some gas
I'm gonna get me some action
Go crazy, driving in in the fast lane
My baby left me alone
She done me dirty and I'm feeling so lonely
So come home, come home
If you don't you're gonna break my heart

Man on the prowl
You better watch out
I'm on the loose and I'm lookin' for trouble
So look out - look out
I'm a man on the prowl

I don't wanna be a rock'n'roll steady
I just wanna be a low down trash
I wanna go to the movies
All I wanna do is sit on my ass
So honey come home
Don't leave me when I'm feeling so lonely
Come home, come home
If you don't you're gonna break my heart

Man on the prowl
You better watch out
I'm on the loose and I'm lookin' for trouble
So look out - look out
I'm a man on the prowl

Well I keep dreaming about my baby
But it ain't gonna get me nowhere
I wanna teach my baby dancin'
But I ain't no Fred Astaire
So baby look out - I'm a man on the prowl
Look out - man on the prowl - yeah
Baby, baby, baby look out - man on the prowl

Baby come home
I'm on the loose and I'm lookin' for trouble
Baby come home - yeah
Cause I'm a man on the prowl
So honey come home - come home
Cause I'm a man on the prowl - yeah
Man on the prowl





            (May/Taylor)

It's a Machine's world
Don't tell me I ain't got no soul
When the machines take over
And there's no place for you and me

hey tell me I don't care
But deep inside I'm just a man
They freeze me tey burn me
They squeeze me they stress me
With smoke-blackened pistones of steel they compress me
But no-one but no-one but no-one can wrest me away
Back to Humans.

WE HAVE NO DISEASE, NO TROUBLE OF MIND
WE'RE FIGHTING FOR PEACE, NO REGARD FOR THE TIME
WE NEVER CRY, WE NEVER RETREAT
WE HAVE NO CONCEPTION OF LOVE OR DEFEAT

What's that Machine's noise
It's bytes and megachips for tea
It's that Machine, boys
With Random Access Memory
Never worry, never mind
Not for money, not for gold

It's software it's hardware
It's heartbeat is time-share
It's midwife's a disk drive
It's sex-life is quantised
It's self perpetuation a parahumanoidarianised

Back to Humans
Back to Humans.

BACK TO MACHINES

Living in a new world
Thinking in the past
Living in a new world
How you gonna last
Machine world... it's a Machine world...

CHANGE

Back to Humans.





            (Deacon)

I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self-satisfied I don't need you
I want to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free

I've fallen inlove
I've fallen inlove for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen inlove - yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen inlove

It's strange but it's true
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free, baby
Oh how I want to be free
Oh how I want to break free

But life still goes on
I can't get used to, living without,  living without
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby can't you see
I've got to break free

I've got to break free
I want to break free, yeah
I want I want I want I want to break free





              (Mercury)

This is the only life for me
Surround myself around my own fantasy
You just gotta be strong and believe in yourself
Forget all the sadness cos love is all you need

Do you know what it's like to be alone in this world
When you're down and out on your luck and you're a failure
Wake up screaming in the middle of the night
You think it's all been a waste of time
It's been a bad year
You start beleiving everything's gonna be alright
Next minute you're down and you're flat on your back
A brand new day is beginning
Get that sunny feeling and you're on your way

Just believe - just keep passing the open windows
Just believe - just keep passing the open windows
Do you know how it feels when you don't have a friend
Without a job and no money to spend
You're stranger

All you think about is suicide
One of these days you're gonna lose the fight
You better keep out of danger - yeah
That same old feeling just keep burning deep inside
You keep telling yourself it's gonna be the end
Oh get yourself together
Things are looking better everyday

Just believe - just keep passing the open windows
Just believe - just keep passing the open windows

This is the only life for me
Surround myself around my own fantasy
You just gotta be strong and believe in yourself
Forget all the sadness cos love is all you need

You just gotta be strong and believe in yourself
Forget all the sadness cos love is all you need

Love is all you need - baby - love is all you need

Just believe - just keep passing the open windows





              (May)

Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Make one bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight

CHORUS
You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
We're just waiting
For the hammer to fall

Oh every night and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face, the Western Way
Build your muscles as your body decays

CHORUS
Toe your line and play their game
et the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
You know it's time for the hammer to fall

Rich or poor or famous for
Your truth it's all the same
Lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane
Baby now your struggle's all in vain

For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder

CHORUS
What the hell we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
You just got time to say your players
While you are waiting for the hammer to fall





            (Mercury/May)

Just think of all these hungry mouthes we have to feed
Take a look at all the suffering we breed
So many lonely faces scattered all around
Searching for what they need

Is this the world we created
What did we do it for
Is this the world we invaded
Against the law
So it seems in the end
Is this what we are living for today
The world that we created

You know that everyday a helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by

Is this the world we created
We made it on our own
Is this the world we devastaded
Right to the bone
If there's a God in the sky looking down
What can he think of what we've done
To the world that He created.
