Girls On Film
[Intro]
Sound of Camera shutters flickering[Verse 1]
See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out it's so bright
Then walk right out to the four-line track
There's a camera rolling on her back, on her back
And I sense the rhythm humming in a frenzy all the way down her spine[Chorus]
Girls on film
Girls on film
Girls on film
Girls on film[Verse 2]
Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling
In miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies
The diving man's coming up for air
Cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair, by the hair
And she wonders how she ever got here as she goes under again[Chorus]
Girls on film (two minutes later)
Girls on film
Girls on film (got your picture)
Girls on film[Verse 3]
Wider baby smiling you just made a million
Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire
Take one last glimpse into the night
I'm touching close I'm holding bright, holding tight
Give me shudders in a whisper take me up till I'm shooting a star[Chorus-Outro]
Girls on film (she's more than a lady)
Girls on film
Girls on film (two minutes later)
Girls on film
Girls on film (see you together)
Girls on film
Girls on film (see you later)
Girls on film
Girls on film (what you doing)
Girls on film... -
Planet Earth
Only came outside to watch the night fall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
Like some new romantic looking for the TV sound
You'll see I'm right some other timeLook now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you're looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is Planet EarthMy head is stuck on something precious
Let me know if you're coming down to land
Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I can't see youLook now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you're looking at Planet EarthBop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
This is Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
Calling Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
Looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
This is Planet Earth -
Anyone Out There
I never found out what made you leave
And now the day is over, just an hour to go
I tried to phone last night but you didn't answer
Just left me ringing on the lineOutside is there anyone out there, anyone else outside
Outside love is there anyone out there, anyone else outsideMy face in the mirror shows the break in time
A crack in the ocean which does not align
I tried to sleep last night but I've caught your dreaming
About days we used to wonder awayOutside is there anyone out there, anyone else outside
Outside love is there anyone out there, anyone else outsideLook out of the window maybe you can call by my name
Another night over babe another light comes on in vainI tried to phone last night but you never answered
Just left me ringing in the air (outside)Is there anyone out there
(anyone out there) -
To The Shore
[Verse]
Oh when your nine day feed is up and you've drained your loving cup
Come stands reeling to the shore oh when the brave are coming out
The dry fight and the dusty shout see you crawling on the floor
And diamond stars shining glitter bright gorging your sanhedralites
Words are falling to the floor glad stand pouring fruit trees
And now they glisten on the waterline sing home you are at the shore
I'm moving crissie pretty flowers in the shuttermaze
Haul up all your petty desires leave them lying down they fall
Wash away the rusty disease of your brown town days in our silver sea
Leave it dying at the door feather yellow your time to leave
Open out your arms and breathe[Outro]
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to the shore now
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to the shore now come on -
Careless Memories
[Verse 1]
So soon
Just after you've gone
My senses sharpen
But it always takes
So damned long
Before I feel how much
My eyes have darkened[Chorus 1]
Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper
With a careless memory[Verse 2]
On the table
Signs of love life scattered
And the walls break
We go crashing within
It's not as though
As though you really mattered
But being close
How could I let you go
Without some feeling
Some precious sympathy following[Chorus 1]
[Verse 3]
I walk out into the sun
I try to find a new day
But the whole place
It just screams in my eyes
Where are you now?
Cause I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die
I think I'd laugh at you
I think I'd cry
What am I supposed to do
Follow you?[Chorus 1]
-
Night Boat
[Verse 1]
Standing on the edge of a quay
Low lights flashing on the water for me
Fogging my mind darkens my eyes
Silently streaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows
Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night
Listen to the rising water moan[Chorus]
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night bo-oh-oat
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat[Verse 2]
Shudders all through me shudder away
Echo me, echo me (echo me...)
Am I alone or is the river alive
'Cause it echos me, echos me, echos me[Chorus]
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night bo-oh-oat
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boatWaiting
Waiting for the night bo-oh-oat
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
Waiting for the night bo-oh-oat
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat[outro]
I'm waiting for the night boat -
Sound Of Thunder
[Verse 1]
I've been in this grass here
For the last ten hours
My clothes are dirty
But my mouth isn't dry
How does it happen?
Does it fly through the air?
Woah I gave up asking days away
I gave up asking days away[Chorus]
And now I'm lying here
Waiting for the sound of thunder
Waiting for the sound of thunder[Verse 2]
Here I am I'm a dotted line
Cut in through corners
Stick me through your door
I'm the man who stepped off the path
And I just lying here
That's what I was made for[Verse 3]
And now my eyes are closing
But I still feel the land
Leaning out for the touch of my hand
The world spins so fast
That I might fly off
The world spins so fast
That I might fly off
The world spins so fast
I might fly off[Outro]
Waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder -
Friends Of Mine
[Verse 1]
Friends of mine
They said they were friends of mine
Said they were passing time
More like a waste of timeClose the door
I said close the door
I've told you twice before
What are you waiting for?[Chorus]
Georgie Davis is coming out
No more heroes we twist and shout
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not taking anymore
Rocky Picture has lost his gun
Leave him out now he's having fun
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not waiting anymore, hey, hey[Verse 2]
Silly lies
Don't have to advertise
When will you realize?
I'm sick of your alibisRunning cold
The water's running cold
It's time that you were told
I think you're growing old[Chorus]
Georgie Davies is coming out
No more heroes we twist and shout
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not waiting anymore
Rocky Picture has lost his gun
Leave him out now he's having fun
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not taking any more (hey, hey)[Bridge]
I see you smile
Pictures on the wall, they're all friends of mine
See you standing 'round the back (friends of mine)
Think yourself lucky[Verse 3]
Friends of mine
They said they were friends of mine
They were just wasting time
Out on the dotted lineOh, money's gone
I've known it all along
Why don't you say I'm wrong?
Why don't they drop the bomb?[Chorus]
'Cause Georgie Davies is coming out
No more heroes we twist and shout
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not waiting anymore
Rocky Picture's thrown away his gun
Leave him out now he's having fun
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not taking any more[Outro]
What you doing, friends of mine?
Holding back now, friends of mine
I've always heard you calling -
Tel Aviv

Late Bar [from `Planet Earth' 7" & 12" single - released February 21, 1981]
There's a hole in the wall next to you
Things with legs are crawling through
The man is searching for the door and you run
You're coming out, you're going downThere's an all night party in room 7609
La-la-la late bar, la la la la la la la la
You can dance together all night, if you've got the time
La-la-la late bar, la la la la la la la laThe bodies move like flies on the wall
You want to run but there's no space at all
The dancers spinning in the mirror ball
You're coming out, you're going 'roundThere's an all night party in room 7609
La-la-la late bar, la la la la la la la la
You can dance together all night, if you've got the time
La-la-la late bar, la la la la la la la laJust come to the late bar
Come, so fast
Drink...
I know what I'm talking about
I know what I'm doing
Ahh...There's an all night party in room 7609
La-la-la late bar, la la la la la la la la
You can dance together all night, if you've got the time
La-la-la late bar, la la la la la la la la -
Khanada [from `Careless Memories' 7" & 12" single - released May 9, 1981]
[Verse 1]
Didn't no one tell you
Money is a game playing so hard to get now
I don't even know your name[Chorus]
(Khanada I'll get by) Don't play with me I've nothing to lose
(Khanada I'll get by) Ain't no one's day is coming too soon
(Khanada I'll get by) I don't believe in dragons or blue
(Khanada I'll get by) I don't believe in nobody's rules[Verse 2]
Heavy as the rain falls
I might go outside just because you're with me
Doesn't mean you're not the same[Chorus]
(Khanada I'll get by) Don't play with me I've nothing to lose
(Khanada I'll get by) Ain't no one's day is coming too soon
(Khanada I'll get by) I don't believe in dragons or blue
(Khanada I'll get by) I don't believe in nobody's rules -
Fame [from `Girls On Film' 12" single - released July 25, 1981]
Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, lets him loose, and hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there, when things are hollow
Fame...Fame, it's not your brain, just a flame
A funny tin to dip you insane
Fame...Fame, what you like is in the Limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow
Fame...Fame, "Nein! It's mine!" is just his line
He's only trying to drive you to crime... (crime)
Fame...Is it any wonder
I'll reject you first
Is it any wonder
You're too cool to foolFame
Bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on... pain
Fame...Fame (Rpt x23)
What's your name?
What a game...
What a shame... What a shame... -
Faster Than Light [from `Girls On Film' 7" & 12" single - released July 25, 1981]
Oh-oh-oh
