Don’t look back It must be me Don’t look back It must be me In your rear view mirror Don’t look back Don’t look back It must be me Don’t look back Cos there’s nothing to see In your rear view mirror Don't look back Cos there’s nothing to see Well we must have been crazy Looking to the 80s It was nothing right quite like Neon bright white light Well you didn’t need to save me It wasn’t living in the 80s Just dressing up in Bowie bags Lip gloss an shoulder pads Don’t look back It must be me Don’t look back It must be me In your rear view mirror Don’t look back Don’t look back It must be me Don’t look back Cos there’s nothing to see In your rear view mirror Don't look back Cos there’s nothing to see Well you had to come and save me It was dark in the 80s Poverty and hard times Desperation job lines Well you must have been crazy To bring back the 80s But your neon bright white light Illuminates the dark night Don’t look back Don’t look back In your rear view mirror Don’t look back There’s nothing to see there There’s nothing to see there Don’t look back Don’t look back Keep your eyes on the future Tell me where your hopes are Don’t look back Don’t look back Don’t look back Keep your eyes on the future Tell me where your hopes are Don’t look back Don’t look back Don’t look back Keep your eyes on the future Tell me where your hopes are Don’t look back Don’t look back Don’t look back Keep your eyes on the future Tell me where your hopes are Tell me where your dreams are Don’t look back In your rear view mirror Don’t look back Don’t look back In your rear view mirror Don’t look back

She said I’m shouting daily empty words She said No one hearing no rewards She said We are the fools the ignorant She said The children of the adamant He said They’re mass consumers one and all He said They paid for me they want my soul He said The stupid and the power filled He Said We'll choke the spirit seeking thrills Well it’s another world Another world Where all the people live together And all the people live as one And it feels like love And it feels like love When all the people live together And all the people live as one And if we all stand up And if we all rise up When all the people live together And all the people live as one They said We stand up straight we get aligned They Said We’re dropping bombs on the mind They said People hear us hear us now They said Watch us slaughter sacred cows We said We stand up straight we get aligned We said We’re dropping bombs on the mind We said People hear us hear us now We said Watch us slaughter sacred cows And if we all rise up And if we stand as one When all the people live together And all the people live as one And if we all stand up And if we rise as one When all the people live together And all the people live as one And if we all stand up And if we all rise up Then all the people live together And all the people live as one All of the things we said all the things we said All of the things we said all the things we said All of the things we said all the things we said All of the things we said all the things we said All of the things we said all the things we said All of the things we said all the things we said All of the things we said all the things we said All of the things we said all the things we said We said nothing We said nothing We said nothing All of the things we said all the things we said We said nothing I take it back I said nothing

I don’t know about urban gang warfare But the way you look tonight I could go up in flames And explosions that that bleed and suck away my oxygen like Matches and gasoline A spark and a guillotine I don’t know about a flaming revolution But the way I feel right now I could go up in flames Like pleasures that pulse and spark and exhale Just like flashes of libertine Just like electricity Just like electricity Just like electricity Just like electricity Just like… Don’t know much about the pleasure principle But the way you look right now Could start a raging fire An army of outsiders lighting up the sky Like matches and gasoline A spark and a guillotine Don’t know much about quiet revolutions But the way I feel right now I could go up in flames Like a pulse that could spark a synaptic wave Just like flashes of libertine Just like electricity Just like electricity Just like electricity Just like electricity Just like… All my friends are together They’re electric They’re on fire All my friends live forever They’re electric They’re on fire And we walk alone Through the backstreets alone We live like a fever And we’ll live this way forever Like an intimate wish And we walk alone Like the night skies alone We live like a sewer And we’ll live this way forever Like a primitive kiss All my friends live forever They’re on fire, they’re on fire All my friends live electric They’re on fire, they’re on fire All my friends live forever They’re on fire, they’re on fire All my friends they’re electric They’re on fire, they’re on fire Keith Flint, Ginger Baker We’re on fire, we’re on fire Lou Reed, David Bowie We’re electric, we’re electric Lisa “Left Eye”, Dr John We’re on fire, we’re on fire Mark Hollis, Scott Walker We’re electric, we’re electric Philippe Zdar, Amy Winehouse We’re on fire, we’re on fire Marc Bolan, Leonard Cohen We’re electric we’re electric Jake Black and Aaliyah We’re on fire, we’re on fire Ian Curtis, Tammi Tyrell We’re electric we’re electric And we walk as one Through the backstreets as one We walk as one together And we’ll live this way forever Electricity Peter Tosh, Syd Barrett They’re electric, they’re on fire Kemistry and Minnie Riperton They’re electric, they’re on fire Bob Marley, Peter Shelley They’re electric, they’re on fire Mark E Smith, Joe Strummer They’re electric, they’re on fire All my friends will live forever All my friends they’re on fire All my friends they’re electric All my friends they’re on fire All my friends will live forever All my friends they’re on fire All my friends they’re electric All my friends they’re on fire Electricity Like Gary Numan said Electricity Like Gary Numan said Electricity Like Gary Numan said

As the light Erupts so bright Beyond the trees beyond the darkness And on beyond my dreams That I thought Could not be bought I’d never hold embrace the future I’d just erase the dreams Every time I lose my mind Every time I lose the centre I look deep into your emotional eyes And dive in deep so I remember As the dark Descends so fast Beyond the fields beyond the sunlight And on beyond the dreams I’ve been naïve To actions beyond me To stupid plots and ambitions I’m a fool for what I’ve been Every time I lose my mind Every time I lose the centre I look into your emotional eyes And dive in deep so I remember Every time I lose my mind Every time I lose the centre I look into your emotional eyes And dive in deep so I remember So save me save me save me from of my reality That I’m the just the architect of my own destiny And self-destruction And so it goes And so it went And so it goes And so it went Every time I lose my mind Every time I feel off centre I look into your emotional eyes And dive in deep so I remember Every time I feel this love I feel the reason for my future Every time I feel this love I see the reason for my future I’m standing high on angels wings I’m flying to a better darkness I’m soaring high on angels wings Up Towards to a brighter darkness And so it goes And so it went And so it goes And so it went I’m standing high on angels wings (And so it goes) I’m flying to a better darkness I’m soaring high on angels wings (And so it went) Upwards to a brighter darkness I’m standing high on angels wings (And so it goes) I’m flying to a better darkness I’m soaring high on angels wings (And so it went) Upwards to a better darkness

The steps from here From the space between us A scent that’s near Or something between us I just can’t place it as it lingers and curls A ghost of a taste of a memory Of a love that's unfurled Holy Moses A path unchosen A path of roses to a bed A dreamer composes And there your heart it opens and freely exposes An embrace just as it closes Holy Moses Holy Moses In the garden of delights Among the arcane and the mysteries I watched the crowds as they parted For lovers like you and me And these were the freedoms And these were the times A naive adventure In a landscape without signs Holy Moses A path that’s unchosen A path of roses to a bed A lover composes And there your heart it opens and freely exposes An embrace as it closes Holy Moses Holy Moses And we journeyed to freedom Stretched across the fields Our bodies were the horizon Caressed by the breeze Folding over form and innocence The sky’s silken weave Our fingers were clouds Gently shaping our belief Holy Moses A path that’s unchosen A path of roses to a bed Young love composes And there your heart it opens and freely exposes An embrace as it closes Holy Moses Holy Moses MIDDLE EIGHT Step by step Pulse by pulse Breath by breath Touch by touch Holy Moses A path that’s not chosen A path of roses to a bed Our love composes And there your body opens and freely exposes An embrace as it closes Holy Moses Holy Moses The steps from here From the time between us A scent that’s forgotten Or nothing between us I just can’t place it as It’s not what it seemed, we’re Statues now frozen In someone else’s dreams Holy Moses A path that’s not chosen A path of roses to a bed That time composes And there your heart it closes love decomposes Back to the earth with the roses Holy Moses Holy Moses

Burned your books stole your images Scratched out your name changed hers for his Tried to take your power and abuse your words Identity denied history lied Redefined your place in time Took your science stole your works of art Framed your words and claimed them as ours Tried to make you victim Misused biology Identity Stolen reality broken Redefined your place in time This is how she was erased from history This is how she was erased from his story This is how she was erased from history This is how she was erased from his story Reduced your mind Showed you’re weak Objectified We liked you weak The fallen one That made you so much stronger Burned your books Stole your images Burned your books Stole your images This is how she was erased from history This is how she was erased from his story This is how she was erased from history This is how she was erased from his story Reduced you mind Showed you weak Objectified Liked you weak The fallen one It made you so much stronger This is how she was erased from history This is how she was erased from history This is how she was erased from his story This is how This is how This is how she was erased from history This is how she was erased from history This is how she was erased from his story This is how This is how This is how she seized it back This is how This is how she seized it back This is how This is how This is how This is how This is how Take it back This is how This is how Take it all back Take it back This is how This is how Take it all back Take it back This is how This is how Take it all back Take it back This is how This is how Take it all back Take it back This is how This is how Take it all back Take it back This is how This is how Take it all back Take it back This is how This is how Take it all back Take it back This is how This is how Take it all back Take it back This is how This is how Make it yours again This is how This is how

December comes On a silent wave Blowing cold through The ghosts of our times December comes With its final breath singing The dying days they won’t be magic again I watched a child draw On a car window The shapes of faces In the steam of his breath I saw an old man Cross the main road Traffic flow stalled To an afternoon death I watched a women push Against in the weather Carrying dreams as If they’re weight of the world The bitter wind blows Her head is held low She wraps hope around her Can’t wait to be one with this world December comes On a silent wave Blowing cold through The ghosts of our times December comes With its final breath singing The dying days they won’t be magic again December comes On a silent wave Blowing cold through The ghosts of our times December comes With its final breath singing The dying days they won’t be magic again I watched the world go From my window From my isolation Things seems to slow to crawl Watching life flow The young and the old The lost and the innocent Because tomorrow has always known And I saw you laughing At the driving snow Watching skies glow A flickering light through it all Your joy was unbound There were no cares found Just the here and now As all around you world seems to fall I watched the world go Through my window From my isolation Things seems to slow to crawl Watching life flow The young and the old The lost and the innocent Because tomorrow has always known I watched the world go Through my window From my isolation Things seems to slow to crawl Watching life flow The young and the old The lost and the innocent Because tomorrow has always known December won't be magic anymore

All the lies You told to make you stronger All the lives that you broke All the minds You used to make you stronger All the thoughts that you choked All the souls You crushed to climb the ladder All the spirits that you broke All the dreams You smashed to make you stronger All the freedoms you took Don’t, don’t you talk to me Don’t, don’t you talk to me Talk to me Because talk is cheap Talk is cheap And actions speak for no one But that path is long All we hear Is talk of being stronger How could we be so wrong? The better you walk the better talk (Don’t, don’t you talk to me) The better you cry the better you lie (Don’t, don’t you talk to me) The bigger your hopes the better your dreams The higher you climb the harder you fall The better you walk the better talk The better you cry the better you lie The bigger your hopes the better your dreams The higher you climb the harder you fall All the lies You told to make you better All the lives that you broke All the minds You used to make you better All the thoughts that you choked The better we walk the better we talk The better we cry the higher we fly The higher our hopes the better our dreams The higher we climb the tighter you hold The better we walk the better we talk (Don't) The better we cry the higher we fly (You talk to me) The better we walk the better we talk The better we cry the higher we fly The higher our hopes the better our dreams The higher we climb the tighter you hold The more that we stop The more that we breathe The more that we look The more that we see The more that we stop The more that we breathe The more that we look The more that we see The more that we stop The more that we look (The more that we look the more that we see) The more that we stop The more that we look (The more that we breathe the more that we feel) The more that we stop The more that we look (The more that we breathe the more that we see) The more that we stop The more that we look (The more that we breathe the more that we see) Don’t You talk to me You Don’t Don’t You talk to me You Don’t You talk to me You Don’t You talk to me Because talk is cheap

Well we walk with different steps Because we’d been Tuned to take A different journey there A different land We travel inside To deserted homes An empty heart lies there In deserted rooms And empty hope lies there No shared memories Well the losses have gone too Forgotten feelings We heard nothing new Forgotten meanings Well we said nothing new And did those feet in ancient times Walk the soil of this septic land A sea walled island – a fortress of fear Of outsiders Who had long walked here And did those hands in ancient times Work the soil of this septic isle And forge the contours and the crowns The foundations Of our ancient towns Europa Dystopia When will we feel you, our hearts are undone Europa Dystopia I still need you my god what have we done Europa Dystopia When will we feel you, our hearts are undone Europa Dystopia I still need to feel you my god what have we done Europa Dystopia Europa Dystopia Europa Dystopia Europa Dystopia
