Stranded & Sold 03:58
lyrics

Shutdown Please leave the train Goodbye A magical moment "Don't make mistakes" They said Sit down with Chinese girls On the wrong side of town "Hey, doofus, Look what you've found" Golden sounds Stranded and sold Left it too late Burn down the fort Flag down a car What's my name today? This time I'd almost love to lose control A critical patient "Don't feed the snakes" They said Parlay with eurowolves In a caff down the creek The lingo, always the same Round and round Stranded and sold Left it too late Burn down the fort Flag down a car What's my name today? Stranded and sold It's a place by the sea Thanks for the flowers Thanks for the hurt It's mild, with some rain Zürich Den Haag Vienna Gstaad Sheffield Prague Frankfurt Am Main Ah-hoo Not leaving The Life, are you? Ah-hoo Not one of us is true

Do Not Disturb 04:11
lyrics

Burnt In flight In need of reinvention Hang the sign outside Keep the change In disguise and overdressed Like someone taller No-one seems to be afraid These days I need a hideaway Do not disturb I'm doing fine I need a hideaway Don't make me step Into the light Rudie's got the darkroom And connections It's always wild around The borderline Could I learn to love this town? Someone's daughter? Later there is music and fights I need a hideaway Do not disturb I'm doing fine I need a hideaway Don't make me step Into the light Time to find a new face Time to find a new face Never go home You can never go home again Never go home You can never go home again I need a hideaway I need a place to call my own I need a hideaway I need a place to call my own

Burning The Days 04:14
lyrics

Memories never stop Fascinations hold Accidents, they reel you in It's just the radio The other voice The neverending thrill The other voice Quiet life on the coast Human-size, in drips Ancient furs and tapestries Victorian Not your scene You're not royalty Not your scene Burning the days When you wake up it's November Burning the days You're crazy to laugh And so you stop Black car in the garage Pick up the keys and drive Rebirth on the motorway It's on the radio Loud and clear The airman's reveille Loud and clear Moving in straight line The speed feels like light All Detroit is out for you The neverending cheer Avert your eyes You're drinking fear Avert your eyes Burning the days When you wake up it's November Burning the days You're crazy to laugh And so you stop When you wake up You're crazy to laugh And so you stop

Exit 04:58
lyrics

Up in the towers, on the roof The signal site Down below, the newtown youth Looking right Reconnaissance, a brutal yard A flash of camouflage Tempers flare When times are hard We're keeping it dark Keeping it clean Keeping it dark Paint your face We're going out tonight Time to leave the hive This is your fight Under the lights Don't back down Find the exit Paint your face We're going out tonight We'll greet the dawn alive Break your plastic Break your ties Into the wild This is the exit Disturbance in the underpass When I ask, you lie On television news somebody's Identified Calamity or simple life Either way you're burnt At some point you'd be willing To return We're keeping it dark Keeping it clean Keeping it dark Paint your face We're going out tonight Time to leave the hive This is your fight Under the lights Don't back down Find the exit Paint your face We're going out tonight We'll greet the dawn alive Break your plastic Break your ties Into the wild This is the exit There’ll be a postcard From somewhere close to borderline Read and destroy Curse and praise your name Today

about

DOCUMENT EXCERPT: Verbatim transcript of intercepted conversation. EYES ONLY.

– So the name of this individual, at least today and for the purposes of your brief, is Anton Vec.
– Never heard of him. Small-time?
– More like fallen from grace. Reduced to peddling the world’s tiniest secrets to the Chinese.
– What possible use would we have for a guy like this?
– If we ask nicely, he might shed much-needed light on certain events of yesteryear.
– Fair enough. Last known?
– Oh, he’s gone dark. No sightings since Zürich. Frankly, I don’t expect to see him again, but you never really know with these characters, do you? The scenes of former glories might exert a certain pull.
