(B. Eno/P. Manzanera)

Those who know
They don't let it show
They just give you one long life
And you go, oh oh, oh oh

Goes to show
How winds blow
The weather's fine
And I feel so so-so, so

Birds of prey
With too much to say
Oh what could be my destiny
Another rainy day

Why ask why?
For by the by and by
All mysteries are just more
Needles in the camel's eye

Those who know
They don't let it show
They just give you one long life
And you go, oh oh, oh oh

Why ask why?
For by the by and by
All mysteries are just more
Needles in the camel's eye

(N. Larson/Shudder To Think)

Well, you're the grand one
Have you noticed?
When you walk in all the fairy boys are very nervous
Well, my starship doesn't want me
And neither does his world
I'm glad I caught you on my view screen, sailor

You're the grand one
Come and court me
'cause this wooing is what I'm wanting
When my spacesuit comes to warm me
And hold me like a god
I am the captain of the gravity, Maxwell
Everywhere I see your faces

Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the Sun
But it's a crime!
You're mistaken!
Momentary seizure of love - oh love

Well, you're the grand one
But darling, I'm a mess
I've got human minds we can form
But the boys are not impressed
When my spacesuit comes to warm me
Just hold me like a god
I'll be the captain of the gravity, Maxwell
I see your faces in the strangest places

Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the Sun
But it's a crime!
You're mistaken!
Momentary seizure of love - oh love

Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the Sun
But it's a drag!
You're so mean!
Destroying my belief in, in love - oh love

(M. Bolan)

Owwww!!
Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood
I move like a cat
Charge like a ram
Sting like a bee
Babe, I wanna be your man

Well it's plain to see
You were meant for me
Yeah, I'm your toy
Your 20th Century boy

Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock 'n' roll
Fly like a plane
Drive like a car
Bawl like a hound
Babe, I wanna be your man

20th Century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th Century boy
I wanna be your toy

Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everbody says it's just like Robin Hood
I move like a cat
Charge like a ram
Sting like a bee
Babe, I wanna be your man

20th Century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th Century toy
I wanna be your boy

(B. Ferry)

Oh, I was moved by your screen dream
Celluloid pictures living
Your death could not kill my love for you
Take two people romantic
Smoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder

Here's looking at you kid
Celebrate years
Here's looking at you kid
Wipe away tears
Long time since we're together
Now I hope it's forever

Ideal love flies away now
White jacket black tie wings too
You gave her away to the hero
Words don't express my meaning
Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keeping's the lesson

Here's looking at you kid
Hard to forget
Here's looking at you kid
At least not yet
Your memory stays
It lingers ever
Will fade away never

(D. Alexander/S. Asheton/R. Asheton/J. Osterberg, Jr.)

Lord

See that cat
Yeah I do mean you
See that cat
Yeah I do mean you

She got a TV eye on me
She got a TV eye
She got a TV eye on me, oh

See that cat
Down on her back
See that cat
Down on her back

She got a TV eye on me
She got a TV eye
She got a TV eye on me, oh

See that cat
Yeah I love her so
See that cat
Yeah I love her so

She got a TV eye on me
She got a TV eye
She got a TV eye on me, oh

Right on, right on, right on
See that cat
Yeah I love her so
See that cat
Yeah I love her so

She got a TV eye on me
She got a TV eye
She got a TV eye on me, oh

(C. Wedren/Shudder To Think)

Got tired of wasting gas living above the planet
Mister, show me the way to earth
The boys of Quadrant 44 with their vicious metal hounds
Never come around here no more
Sometimes I wonder if I'm still alive
Six feet down at age 25
Maxwell Leather Demon rock hand jive

I came down like water
For the age of solar
Hail to the father
Kiss your sons and daughters
Goodbye goodbye
Steam steady roller
Lady tongue controller
Ten feet tall, better walk it back down

Despite the great duress, always get off 'cause damn it!
It's the only sure-fire way to win
Your poison doesn't hurt me, no
Tender wine disguised in a milk-fat fair kiddie show
I'm here to celebrate the one below
At last I've heard from good God above
As the slap on my ass by a lipstick-kissed elbow glove

I came down like water
For the age of solar
Hail to the father
Kiss your sons and daughters
Goodbye goodbye
Steam steady roller
Lady tongue controller
Ten feet tall, better walk it back down
I came down like water
For the age of solar
I came down like water
Kiss your sons and daughters

Ten feet tall, better walk it back down

(G.L. Phillips)

Darling, you can't live your life
Singing songs in exile
You were born for stardom's crown
And not for self-denial
So don't you close the door on fate
When she comes to call
And tell her that you'll join her there
At the masquerader's ball
Funny how some people never love at all

We'll take the whole shebang
All or nothing, anything
Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
We'll take the whole shebang
Free your heart of guilt and shame
Come and claim what's yours
The whole shebang

Nothing on this earth could hold you prisoner, my dear
Except for contemplations evil brother, love is feared
But love is extra-terrestrial
And love falls from the stars
Like Maxwell Demon's silver disk
Into this world of ours
Funny how we keep on loving, true love power

We'll take the whole shebang
All or nothing, anything
Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
We'll take the whole shebang
Free your heart of guilt and shame
Come and claim what's yours
The whole shebang

Kick up your heels and paint your face
Wave goodbye to yesteryear
We can swing in outer space
Or from the chandeliers
Though sometimes it breaks my heart, I hide my tears

We'll take the whole shebang
All or nothing, anything
Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
We'll take the whole shebang
Free your heart of guilt and shame
Come and claim what's yours
The whole shebang

(B. Ferry)

You've got me girl on the run around run around
You've got me all around town
You've got me girl on the run around
And it's getting me down, getting me down

Lady if you want to find a lover
Then you look no further
For I'm gonna be your only

Searching at the start of the season
And my only reason
Is that I'll get to you
I'll find some way of connection
Hiding my intention
Then I'll move up close to you
I'll use you and I'll confuse you
And then I'll lose you
But still you won't suspect me

(Cocker/Banks/Doyle/Mackay/Webber)

We are the boyz
And we are class act
Getting trashed so make some noise
We are the boyz

We are the lads
We sleep with slags
We nick their fags
We got no choice
We are the boyz

Oh we are the boyz
And we don't ask why
Because we're alive
We are the boyz

We are the boyz
We're in the place
So shut your face
You got no choice
We are the boyz

We are the guyz
We're getting high
While you're getting by
So make some noise
Cos we are the boyz

We are the boyz
And we don't ask why
Cos we're always right
Because we're alive
Oh we are the boyz

We are the boyz
And don't look now
Cos we're coming down
Don't make no noise
Cos we are the boyz

Now we are the men
And always been
It won't happen again
But we have no choice
Cos we're the boyz

Oh we were the boyz
But we're not anymore
No, now we're so mature
Now we've cut it short
Because we're not so sure
No, we're not so sure
Oh no, we're not so sure
Not so sure
Not so sure as we were
Oh we were the boyz
We were the boyz
Oh we were the boyz

Come on
We're still the boyz
Oh we're still the boyz
Oh we're still the boyz
Oh come on we are the boyz
Oh we are the boyz
Oh we are the boyz

(B. Ferry)

Make me a deal and make it straight
All signed and sealed I'll take it
To Robert E. Lee I'll show it
I hope and pray he don't blow it 'cause
We've been around a long time just try try tryin' to
Make make the big time...

Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six days wander but don't you
Don't you throw away my pride aside besides
What's real and make believe
Baby Jane's in Acapulco
We're flyin' down to Rio

Throw me a line I'm sinking fast
Clutching at straws can't make it
Havana sound we're trying hard edge the hipster jiving
Last picture show's down the drive-in
You're so sheer you're so chic
Teenage rebel of the week

Flavors of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the cha-cha through til sunrise
Open up exclusive doors oh wow!
Just like flamingos look the same
So me and you, just we two got to reach for something new

Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
Where my Studebaker takes me
That's where I'll make my stand but wait
Can't you see that Holzer mane
What's her name Virginia Plain

Satellite's gone
up to the skies
Thing like that drive me
out of my mind

I watched it for a little while
I like to watch things on TV

Satellite of love
satellite of love
Satellite of love
satellite of

Satellite's gone
way up to Mars
Soon it will be filled
with parking cars

I watch it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV

Satellite of love
satellite of love
Satellite of love
satellite of

I've been told that you've been bold
with Harry, Mark and John
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday to Thursday
with Harry, Mark and John

Satellite's gone
up to the skies
Thing like that drive me
out of my mind

I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV

Satellite of love
satellite of love
Satellite of love
satellite of

Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love

(M. Bolan)

If I could have grown
All upon my own
If I could have grown
I grew
If I could have grew
I do

If I had a throne
You could call it home
If I cry my tears are yours
To open any frozen doors

Hey let's do it like we're friends
Let's do it do it
Hey let's do it like we're friends.

(B. Ferry)

At last the crimson chord cascade
To shower dry cordials within
Too late to leap the chocolate gate
Pale fountains fizzing fort pink gin

While destiny begins to fly
The farmyard chorus sings its wake
Upstanding anthem to the sky
Too soon to realize their fate

You were the raven of October
I knew the sign you flew around
Up in the air so high above me
Never needed to look down
I never though I'd be a rover
I didn't even look around
But now I know you've found another
So will someone please find me

Give now the host his claret cup
And watch madeira's farewell drink
Note his reaction acid sharp
Should make the cognoscenti think

(B. Eno)

Baby's on fire
Better throw her in the water
Look at her laughing
Like a heifer to the slaughter

Baby's on fire
And all the laughing boys are bitching
Waiting for photos
Oh the plot is so bewitching

Rescuers row row
Do your best to change the subject
Blow the wind blow blow
Lend some assistance to the object

Photographers snip snap
Take your time she's only burning
This kind of experience
Is necessary for her learning

If you'll be my flotsam
I could be half the man I used to
They said you were hot stuff
And that's what baby's been reduced to

Juanita and Juan
Very clever with maracas
Making their fortunes
Selling secondhand tobaccoes

Juan dances at Chico's
And when the clients are evicted
He empties the ashtrays
And pockets all that he's collected

But baby's on fire
And all the instruments agree that
Her temperature's rising
But any idiot would know that

(A. Mackay/B. Ferry)

Well, this is such a sad affair
I've opened up my heart so many times
But now it's closed

Oh my dear
Every salted tear
It wrings
Bitter-sweet applause

But when the show's in full swing
Every once in awhile
High stepping chorus lines
Mean I'm forgetting
Mein lullaby - liebchen

How rich in contrast
Love can be
Sometimes I'm quite amused
To see it twist and turn
To taste both sweet and dry
These vintage years
Lovers you consume, my friend
As others their wine

Nein - das ist nicht
Das ende der Welt
Gestrandet an Leben und Kunst
Und das spiel geht weiter
Wie man weiss
Noch viele 'schoum'....wiedersehen
(Translation of German lyrics:
No - this is not the end of the world
Stranded because of life and art
And the game goes on as you know
Schoum....see you)

And now, as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile
As if to compensate
Then you break down and cry

Instrumental

(Steve Harley)

Gee, but it's hard
When one lowers one's guard to the vultures

Now, me I regard it
A torturous hardship that smolders

Like a peppermint eaten away
Will I fight? Will I swagger, or sway?

Tee hee, milady
She cries like a baby
Scold us

See her tumbling down

Heil to the monkey
We're having a funky reunion

Wasted and sunk
He can only have Sunday communion

He's got nicotine stains in his eyes
He's got nothing to protect but his pride

Oh smothered a kiss
Or be drowned in blissful confusion

See her tumbling down

(S. Harley)

You've done it all, you've broken every code
And pulled the rebel to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
For only metal - what a bore!
Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so many lies?

Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild

There's nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smile
Resist, resist, it's from yourself you have to hide

Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild

There ain't no more, you've taken everything
From my believe in Mother Earth
How can you ignore my faith in everything
When I know what Faith is and what it's worth
Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll try

Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild
