VISIONS OF THE NIGHT
Words and Music by Sting
I have gazed into the visions of the night
I have seen the darkness fall
Heard a mountain fall away from sight
I have heard the thunder call
Seen the beast I call my father
Creature of the night
When I feel the creeping darkness close
I eat electric light
They say the meek shall inherit the earth
How long will you keep it?
They sow a harvest but what's it worth?
There's no one left to reap it
Gazed into the visions of the night
Seen the darkness fall
Heard a mountain fall away from sight
Heard the thunder call
Seen the nightmare on this land
I seen the walking dead
They say the meek shall inherit the earth
How long will you keep it?
They sow a harvest but what's it worth?
There's no one left to reap it
Gazed into the visions of the night
Gazed into the visions of the night
Gazed into the visions of the night
Gazed into the visions of the night
They say the meek shall inherit the Earth
How long will you keep it?
They sow a harvest but what's it worth?
There's no one left to reap it
I have gazed into the visions of the night
I have gazed into the visions of the night...
NEW WORLD BLUES
Words and Music by Mike Howlett
All those stories that used to say
There's a new world begins today
Bad old days just a memory
Trouble is that it seems to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah! It's the same old planet
Golden dreams of a golden age
Silver tongue of an ancient sage
When the prose is half fulfilled
Seems it's time for you to pay all the bills
No, no, no! Not on the planet
I had a vision the other night
Woken up by an angel of light
She sang a song so pure and bright
A simple tale of how it might have been
My political friend tells me
I've got to fight (got to fight)
He says I've got to stand up for my rights
Well that's all right my friend you know I will
Just one thing you know - I ain't gonna kill
No, no, no! Not on the planet
Go take me flying out of this place
to another time and some other space
Fallen from grace
Won't you see me with a smile on my face?
No,no,no! Not on the planet (Not on the planet)
It's a new world (Not on the planet)
It's the same old planet (Not on the planet)
It's a new world (Not on the planet)
But it's the same old planet (Not on the planet)
It's a new world (Not on the planet)
It's the same old planet (Not on the planet)
It's a new world (Not on the planet)
It's the same old planet (Not on the planet)
3 O'CLOCK SHOT
Words and Music by Sting
Everyone I know is lonely
My Gods so far away and my heart belongs to no one
So now sometimes I pray
Please take this space between us and fill it up some way
I've been waiting for my brothers since fucking Christmas day
There's a song that everyone's heard
Let me hear it, make me a part
Songs everyone's heard
Let me hear it, make me a part
Nothing seems to matter
To no one anymore
They say my world is shattered
I just did it on the floor
It wont go no further
It is here I make my stand
If you say my life is precious
When you held it in your hand
Theres a song that everyones heard
Let me hear it, make me a part
Songs everyones heard
Let me hear it, make me a part
There's a song that everyone's heard
Let me hear it, make me a part
Songs everyones heard
Let me hear it, make me a part
LADY OF DELIGHT
Words and Music by Mike Howlett
Just the kind of lady to really set you sailing on emotion's ocean
Just like a river she's rolling on forever
got you running around now you've found
She turns the tide of your tired heart
Back to the place where you made a start
She's got the power to burn you up
But she's turning, turning your golden heart
Lady, lady of delight
Lady, lady of the night
Don't stand in the gutter boy,
mumble and mutter that the world ain't treating you right
I'm talking to you I can prove it too
You'd better listen to me I've got a guarantee
Now who told you life was meant to be
Happiness, Light, Love and Free
What made you think you had a right?
You're just a frightened child in the middle of the night
Lady, lady of delight
Lady, lady of the night
Wild dogs baying at the moon
Alley cats singing out of tune
Hoot of owls across the lake
These are sounds that follow her wake
Don't think you can change her I know she'll rearrange you
You might disagree but just you wait and see
You think you're winning but look at the state you're in danger - stranger
Some call her goddess some call her a whore
But she's a sister a lover a mother and more
She keeps on coming she makes it clear
That if you let her in you've got nothing to fear
Lady, lady of delight
Lady, lady of the night
ELECTRON ROMANCE
Words and Music by Mike Howlett
Laser licks the lighting love
And a phaser flicks in a phaser flood
And you see my love - starting to see love
How can you be my love - "Found in a phaser love?"
With a magical motion we dance in a dream
Happy to be Electron Romance
Magnetic mating dance
You've got me floating - you've got me floating along
Got me hoping - really got me towing a line
You've got me hopping - really got me singing a song
You've got me hopping - got me bopping I won't be stopping till you go
Humming like a dynamo
Baby you're a dynamo
See it on the video
Everything you want to know
Well you don't need to fear no leader
You don't need it now because we're all part
A fantastic heart of a great big you somehow
When you've got love the stars above all shine for you right now
With a magical motion we dance in a dream
Happy to be (repeat)
Laser licks like lighting love
And a phaser flicks in a phaser flood
And you see my love
How can you be me love
Found in a phaser flood?
With a magical motion we dance in a dream
Happy to be Electricity!
EVERY LITTLE THING SHE DOES IS MAGIC
Words and Music by Sting
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve as I've done from the start
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
TOWERS TUMBLED
Words and Music by Mike Howlett
Towers tumbled all the buildings crumbled
Volcanoes rumbled
Insurance salesman mumbled
Ballerians bumbled all the heroes stumbled
Politicians fumbled
Suddenly a hand held out take a ticket tout
It was a chart it was a card and those are your instructions
And what he offered in his hand
It was a diagram master plan
A secret plan for your deduction
Crystals shatter all the singers chatter
While the drums just clatter
Your silken raiment's tatter
While all the poets chatter
"Oh, it doesn't matter"
Please ignore the latter
Settle back you're growing fatter
Oh you know you've got no conception
Well, you're far out in space
I see you trying to trace
a design of your heart on the stars
On the open ocean like an open book
See the feeble fumble for a better look
See the sheep shake In their sleep wake
Not an earthquake
Or a death wake
And all the while through the testing and the trials
She smiles Eternity smiles...
NUCLEAR WASTE
Words and Music by Harry Williamson
Nuclear Waste - we don't want that
Nuclear Waste - we don't need that
Nuclear Waste - we've got to leave this
Nuclear age behind in our time
A faste breeder breaks all the rules gives us
something for nothing
That ain't true and who makes the profit? not me and you
And who takes the risks? - we all do!
Nuclear Waste - we don't want that
Nuclear Waste - but we can't get rid of that
Nuclear Waste - you're hoping we'll get used to it
Nuclear Waste - I 've had enough of it
Do you find it attractive to be radioactive emmiting killing rays?
Splitting your atoms with a fission reaction transmitting out of phase?
Strontium 90 Strontium 90 - I wanna live to see 1999
There's enough energy in the air and in the sea
To give us power to live in Peace and Harmony
Nuclear Waste - we don't get used to your
Nuclear Waste - ultimate polution
Nuclear Waste - produces mutation
Nuclear Waste - it's not evolution
Nuclear Waste - you know the solution
New Killer Waste - better active today
New Killer Waste - than radioactive tomorrow
New Killer Waste - need a cure for cancer?
New Killer Waste - need the real answer
New Killer Waste - fusion not fission
New Killer Waste - let me put your arms around your
Nuclear Waste - damaging my lettuces
Nuclear Waste - jamming my transmission
Nuclear Waste - damaging my vision
Nuclear Waste
