STARLIGHT ON SEAWEED
Words and Music
by Mont Campbell

Shooting star burns while folding
Here on Earth we watch on, wonder why
Starlight on seaweed, on seashores

Forever onwards planets try,
forces move above us
Travelling upwards
through the blue burning gases trail for years behind
Falling upwards
So stars will always pull us as we're moving on our journey
While starlight shines... on...

CLOCKS AND CLOUDS
Words and Music
by Dave Stewart

Past the Northern Lights
And flying on through polar nights
The pressure's growing overhead
In a month of Sundays you won't find a sunbeam
Clocks and clouds say rainy times ahead

From the Northern shores
And down the starlit corridors
The clouds are gathering again
I can feel the weather-clocks
humming in their cases
Soon we'll have to shelter from the rain

Grey skies, magnetized
My how time flies
Seeing stars ionized
My how time slips away...

Now then Sun, what's your problem?
Rise and shine
There are butterflies to chase
And shadows to define
On a day like this there's no point in starting late
You've got atmospheres to warm
Equators to equate
Come on then, hurry up
You're obviously bright enough
To know that you're only wasting time

From the Northern shores
And down the starlit corridors
The clouds are gathering again
So in stormy times I'll open my umbrella
Clocks and clouds make raining times again

* * *

The storm is gone
The clouds have vanished from the sky
The sound of thunder fades away
And the weather-clocks are ticking rather slowly
Measuring the last part of the day...

TENEMOS ROADS
Words and Music
by Dave Stewart

From the cradle to the grave
There are roads for us all
that we'll find, and follow to the end
Leading upwards to a place in the stars,
ten million miles away...
There's a path called Tenemos Roads
Everything happening there is history,
records of ages before we were born.
But the sound of men in battle makes me cry
out in my dreams.

Hearing the sounds of battle far away
and the trumpets calling
marks the end of the time for peace
in Tenemos Roads
Things are changing, directed by the men
who, tired of making love, make war...

If you've settled down on this world, it's a good place to be
Men have made their homes on the land, while the fishes all live in the sea
But although that's alright for them,
I prefer to be somewhere that's slightly more hot
There's a place a bit nearer the sun that I like quite a lot

I will build a home on Tenemos Roads
I will build a home on Tenemos Roads

PHLAKATON
Words and Music
by Pip Pyle

Phiak, phlakka phlakka phlakaton Cash
Ker-chaffa, ker-chaffa, oum ka ka oum-er ka kaf dof
Flibbet, flibbet, flibbet, flibbet
Raka taka raka taka BISH!

BINOCULARS
Words and Music
by Pip Pyle

Blam, zing, mule kicks, real life John Wayne
Nerves twitch, legs kick, death, pain
It's a shame to say, you're such a bore today
Though the picture is quite okay
Your expression has gone away
If you just sit on your arse, the whole world won't gasp
The little dog laughed to see such a farce, it was quite insane
Nerves twitch, legs kick, real life, death, pain

You might as well say nothing's for real
Than bore us with the things that you feel
If that's tough on you, you know that it's up to you
It's not like it's too much to do, what a pity to waste your time
Meanwhile John Wayne and Rip Torn are making us all yawn
Words and thoughts travel at different speeds and make no sense to me
Nerves twitch, legs itch, blam, zing, death, bleed
