Four songs
One red
I’ve chosen to believe
I need you
For my recitation
Used to be a pioneer
’56, I wasn’t here
Great memories pass me by
Things burrowing in me
I know will set me free
So here I wait, half-alive
Film and TV stars
The firm jaws, the western cars
A different quality of light
In the centre of the city
I’m closing in, I’m doing harm
I am becoming
Becoming
Becoming
Becoming
I want you
I want your information
Now I’ve found dark energy
I feel modern and carefree
Time’s running faster today
You can’t see me now
I know things, you don’t know how
Such power blurs and blinds
Pirate radio
Keep it way down low
Everybody’s blithe and so alive
In the centre of the city
I’m closing in, I’m doing harm
I am becoming
Becoming
Becoming
Becoming
Four songs
One red
I’ve chosen to believe
I need you
For my recitation
Two roads
One step aside
I want you
I want your information

So faithful
The heiress and the ingenue
Still believe
Sending out for meals
And questionable remedies
Are you listening?
Paranoid and proud
Are you listening?
Your weakness brought the empire down
I won't stay
I missed the start, I’ll miss the end
Shoganai
Keep your creed
Leave the legend be
Your sisters
Groan and take the piss
When you reminisce
Eyeing up the furniture
And your legacy
Are you listening?
I can’t see you there anymore
Are you listening?
Where’s the force of will, esprit de corps?
I won't stay
I missed the start, I’ll miss the end
Shoganai
Keep your creed
Leave the legend be
I can't stay
Can’t take the air of slow defeat
Shoganai
Keep your creed
Leave the legend be
You used to be
A creature made of light and steel
Hold on
One last crazy summer
Hold on, hold on
One last crazy summer season
Every time I close the gate behind
It’s the last time
I won't stay
I missed the start, I’ll miss the end
Shoganai
Keep your creed
Leave the legend be

Shore Leave

Shore leave
Lower than low
Got a habit
And no-one knows
Eastbound, there is no place to go
Shore leave
Change of address
Milder climes and decadence
There’s nothing I wouldn’t leave behind
Where you been?
Take a seat
Take a look
At the treasure on display
So does it matter if you die?
Take the bait
Take the hook
Oh, you know
We’re here to set you free
So does it matter if you die?
Here to set you free
Shore leave
Distant X
Interference, unreadable
And dense
So much talk, it’s all for sale
Shore leave
Everything shines
On the other side
The good fight
Always knew I’d take the easy way out
Where you been?
Take a seat
Take a look
At the treasure on display
So does it matter if you die?
Take the bait
Take the hook
Oh, you know
We’re here to set you free
So does it matter if you die?
Here to set you free
Born to run
Born to lie
Say the words
Duplicity, my bride
You’re all talk
You’re all eyes
Name your price
Electricity, mainlined
Where you been?
Take a seat
Take a look
At the treasure on display
Here to set you free

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

Centuries

Europa
Be still beneath the wheels
Made of marble, grace and spite
All the boys say you’ll never die
I know that face
The airlift party's started
Win heads and hearts
With chocolate bars
And wide-screen dreams
Centuries in the dark
No-one knew he was there
Centuries, I am the heir to greed
Europa
Your drums are beating out
In cities, parks and galleries
On the Voice of America
Les Invalides
Farmboys march and ply
With cigarettes and chewing gum
and big white teeth
Centuries in the dark
No-one knew he was there
Centuries, I am the heir to greed
When the storm has passed
The trees release their poison seeds
When the storm has passed
We celebrate the new regime
When the storm has passed
Dogs patrol the banks of grey
When the storm has passed
The grown-ups talk while we wait
When the storm has passed
The trees
