Lyrics

Girls on Film
See them walking hand in hand
Across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out
Are so bright
And walk right out to the four line track
There's a camera rolling on her back
On her back
And I sense a rhythm humming in a frenzy
All the way down her spineGirls on Film
Girls on Film
Girls on Film
Girls on FilmLipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling
And 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 againGirls on Film (Two minutes later)
Girls on Film
Girls on Film (Got your picture)
Girls on FilmWider, baby, smile and you've 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 til I'm shooting a starGirls 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 -
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?
is 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
this calling planet earth
bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
this 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 line
Outside is there anyone out there
anyone else outside
Outside love is there anyone out there
anyone else outsideMy face in the mirror shows a 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 maybe my name
Out of the window you can call by your
Another babe coves in vain
night over another light oh in vain
Oh I 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) -
Careless Memories
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 darkenedFear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
drifting in our room
so easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper...
with a careless memoryOn 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 followingFear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
drifting in our room
so easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper...
with a careless memoryI 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?
cuz 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?Outside the thoughts
come flooding back now...
I just try to forget you...
So easy to disturb
with a thought...
with a whisper...
with a careless memory... -
Is There Something I Should Know? (1983 Re-release)
[Intro]
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now[Verse 1]
I made a break, I run out yesterday
Tried to find my mountain hideaway
Maybe next year, maybe no goI know you're watching me
Every minute of the day, yeah
I've seen the signs
And the looks and the pictures
That give your game away, yeahThere's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to say[Chorus 1]
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way?
Do you feel the same?
'Cause you don't let it show[Verse 2]
People stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums
They all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind?
Can you see in the snow?And fiery demons all dance
When you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me
You're about as easy as a nuclear warThere's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to say[Chorus 1]
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way?
Do you feel the same?
'Cause you don't let it showPlease, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way?
Please, please tell me now
Can you see what makes me blow?
Can you see how much I'd die
Every time it passes by?
Please, please tell me now
What it takes to make it show
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should know? -
Night Boat
Standing...
on the edge of the quay
no lights flashing
on the water for me
fog in my mind
darkens in my eyes
silently screaming
for a distant sound
ripple river yellow--
rising for a breath
of breeding and drowns
stillness overcome me
in the nightlisten...
to the rising water moanI'm waiting
waiting, for the nightboat
I'm waiting
waiting, for the nightboatShadows all through me
shudder away
echo me, echo me...
am I alone,
or is the river alive?
cuz it echoes me, echoes me--
echoes me...I'm waiting
waiting, for the nightboat
I'm waiting
waiting, for the nightboatI'm waiting...
waiting for the nightboat..
I'm waiting...
waiting for the nightboat....I'm waiting for the nightboat...

Sound of Thunder
I've been in this grass here for the last 10 hours
My clothes are dirty but my mouth isn't dry
How does it happen? Does it fly through the air?
Oh I gave up asking days away
I gave up asking
Days awayAnd now I'm lying here waiting for the Sound of Thunder
Waiting for the Sound of Thunder
Here I am, I'm a dotted line
Cut the corner, stick me to your door
I'm the man who stepped off the path
and I just lie here
It's what I was made forAnd 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 offWaiting 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
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?Georgie Davies is coming out
No more heroew, we twist and shout
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late,
And I know that I'm not taking any more
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 any more
Hey heyThrough the eyes
Don't have to advertise
When will you realize
I'm sick of your alibis?Running cold
The water's running cold
It's time that you were told
I think you're growing oldGeorgie 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 any more
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(pictures on the wall
they're all friends of yours
see them sell your alibi
it runs you by
think yourself lucky!)Friends of mine
They said they were friends of mine
They were just wasting time
Out on the dotted lineThe money's gone
I've known it all along
Why don't you say I'm wrong?
Why don't they drop the bomb?'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 any more
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 moreWhat you doing, friends of mine
Holding back now, friends of mine
I've always heard you calling... -
