    1. The Other Half

      Air full of feathers
      Fluttering distant laughter
      Air full of signs and strange magic
      Planets aligned in warning
      Trap door sprung beneath me
      And I'm falling
      But I'm rising..
      Downwards into blue sky
      I'm rising

      Downwards into blue sky
      Re-entering the earth
      Comet's tail behind me
      Signalling a birth
      The northern lights, all burning
      Hot and cold at the same time
      My spirit, white and liquid
      And I have learned and I am learning
      But I'm rising
      Downwards into blue sky
      I'm rising

      Downwards into blue sky
      I am the other half And you are what I am for
      I won't lie to you or hurt you
      I'm not like that anymore

      I am with you all the time now
      One soul. One mind. One heart.
      The other half cannot be parted
      From the other half
      From the other half

    2. See it Like A Baby

      Look at it as though you've never
      seen it before
      Try and forget it
      So you can see it

      Taste it like you never tasted it before
      Try and forget it
      So you can remember it

      See it like a baby
      See it like a baby

      Love her like you've never fallen
      in love before
      Fall out of love with her
      So you can remember

      Love him like you've never been
      with him before
      Try and forget it
      So you can remember it

      See it like ..
      See it like a baby
      See it like a baby
      See it like
      Touch it like
      Taste it like
      Feel it like

    3. Thankyou Whoever You Are

      What a time this is
      Everything changing
      Faster than the eye can blink
      Faster than we can stop and think
      What will the future hold?
      Well whatever..

      I won't ask you to care
      But say you'll be there
      If you can't love me tonight
      Just remember the light
      Remember the light

      Thankyou whoever you are
      Thankyou whoever you are
      Thankyou

      If we get half of half a chance
      We'll party til dawn.
      We'll run and dance
      Sleep on a train and rent a car
      We'll gamble in the South of France
      We'll be a friend to this mad world
      Happy together

      I won't ask you to sign
      On some cold dotted line
      But if you can love me tonight
      I'll remember the light
      Only the light

      Thankyou whoever you are
      Thankyou whoever you are
      Thankyou

    4. Most Toys

      But he who dies with the most toys ....
      is still dead.
      He who dies with the most toys ....
      is still dead.

      You have to be cool
      You have to be hip
      You have to be chic
      You have to be rich
      You have to be young
      Whatever that is
      You have to listen to what's in and
      what's happenin'

      But
      He who dies with the most toys ....
      is still dead.

      You have to keep up
      Take the right drugs
      Know when to be cagey
      Know when to shut up
      You have to talk fast
      Know who to thank
      Drive the right car to the right bank

      But
      He who dies with the most toys ....
      is still dead.

      Poison your life
      As you turn the knife

      He who dies with the most toys ....
      is still dead.

    5. Somewhere Else

      This rock-star trip. Some serious ship
      White-knuckle journey blackened my
      eye and cut my lip
      Better to be a doctor or a man who
      walks the earth
      Hedonistic laughing boys
      What's any of it worth?..

      Look at myself
      Look at myself

      Escaped to the car
      Drove to a bar somewhere
      The beautiful game
      Such a thin line between love and hate

      Look at myself
      Look at myself

      Everyone I love
      Everyone I love
      Everyone I love lives somewhere else
      And I have time to look at myself

      Look at myself
      Look at myself

      Mr Taurus ate a thesaurus
      Made the girls cry and skipped straight
      to the chorus
      Mr Taurus had a great fall
      All the King's horses were no good
      at all
      No good at all

      Here's one I broke
      I broke earlier

      Woke up in a spaceship of shimmering gold
      Tutenkhamen sleeping
      Should'a left him alone
      Floating round in Orion
      Arrow pointing to heaven
      Between all the planets
      Out in the cold

      Everyone I love
      Everyone I love
      Everyone I love lives somewhere else.
      And I have time to look at myself
      Look at myself
      Look at myself

      And I've seen enough
      I've seen enough
      Everyone I love lives somewhere else.
      Everyone I love lives somewhere else.

      Somewhere Else
      Somewhere Else
      Somewhere Else

    6. A Voice From The Past

      A voice from the past
      Entered my head today
      Fresh and alive. Full of life, passion
      and pain.
      A voice now past.
      A beautiful soul. Gone, gone, gone.

      Speaking clearly - clearer than
      the living
      Talking perfect sense
      Used to not being understood
      While talking perfect sense to the
      next generation

      Have we caught up yet ?
      Is it time?
      I think it is.
      Enough is enough
      Enough is enough

      A voice from the past
      Entered my head today
      Tiny child sighed in my ear.
      Giving up breathing in
      Over and out
      Over and out
      Taken by bad luck and the ill fortune
      of geography.

      Common cold. Dirty water. HIV.
      Common apathy. Common crime.
      Perfect nonsense to the next generation

      Dead yet alive
      Dead yet alive
      Gone but shouting anger
      Gone but talking perfect sense

      Have we caught up yet ?
      Is it time? Well I say it is. I say it is.
      Deaf and dumbed-down
      Enough is enough

      Give me a smile. Hold out your hand.
      I don't want your money
      I don't want your (and
      Gimme a smile. Hold out your hand.
      I don't want your money
      I don't want your land
      I want you to wake up and do
      something strange
      I want you to listen
      I want you to feel someone else's pain
      Someone else's pain
      Someone else's pain
      Someone else's pain.

      Deaf and dumbed-down
      Deaf and dumbed-down

      A tap with clean water

    7. No Such Thing

      There's no such thing
      As an answered prayer
      There's no such thing
      As the ozone layer
      There's no such thing
      As an action hero

      There's no such thing
      As an easy ride
      There's no such thing
      As a place to hide
      There's no such thing
      As a perfect day

      There's no such thing
      As the pearly gates
      There's no such thing
      As an ordered world
      There's no such thing
      As an easy girl

      No such thing
      No such thing

      There's no such thing
      As peace-of-mind
      As a faithful wife
      As the bottom line
      There's no such thing
      As owning something
      It's all borrowed for a time
      It's all borrowed for a time

      There's no such thing
      There's no such thing
      No such thing
      There's no such thing
      No such thing.

    8. The Wound

      I've done everything that can be done to heal this wound
      Left it on it's own for years

      I've done everything that can be done to heal this wound
      Left it on it's own for years
      Couldn't touch it, didn't pick it, didn't get it wet
      It didn't stop the bleeding

      I bandaged it, I wrapped it, stitched it, tourniqueted it
      I held it stiff and aching in the air
      Held it there til I went beserk
      Didn't sleep
      It didn't work
      Didn't stop it weeping

      And the wound is your life
      And your life took on a life of it's own
      (Or so you foolishly thought)
      And your life rolled on over me Bang-Bang like 56 train wheels
      Every time I heard news of you

      And the wound was in every lousy song on the radio

      And the pain was like a tree-fern in the dark, damp, forgotten places
      Darkness didn't stop her growing
      New-born baby cells dividing..
      Curled up tight unrolling day by day
      Stretching up, stretching out
      Forming the same identical shape
      Clones. There aint too much sadder than
      Clones - relentlessly emerging from the hairy heart of the wound

      And the fern is beautiful in it's own way
      Uncurling in the dark
      Beautiful with no one there to see it
      As the wound weeps and aches

      (Now there's some sad things known to the man from the planet Marzipan)

    9. The Last Century For Man

      Here we are
      At the beginning of the last century
      for man
      Usin' up parts of the world we haven't
      even seen or been to
      The wretched of the earth exploited
      by the rich few
      What's new ?.

      If you are not outraged
      You haven't been paying attention
      If you are not outraged
      You haven't been listening

      God bless America, I mean it
      God bless the UK
      God bless our children
      And God help us all

      Ciimb into the car
      I know that makes you happy
      The sound of your laughter
      Will get you so far
      Grace or disgrace
      Can make you a star these days
      Reality pays
      Let's decide who the terrorists are

      God bless America, I mean it
      God bless the UK, I mean it
      Hats off to China, and India
      And Africa too.

      Eat all we can
      Drink all we can
      Use all we can
      Do what we can
      Screw what we can
      Don't miss a chance
      In the last century for man

      I wanna feel ALIVE
      Gas up the 4 wheel drive!..

      God bless America, I mean it
      God bless the UK, I mean it
      God bless la belle France, I mean it
      And God help us all

    10. Faith

      What I have here in my hand
      Is like faith but not faith
      For those without faith also have
      What I have here in my hand

      What I have here in my hand
      Is like feeling but deeper
      It's why I am here

      What I have here in my hand
      Is knowledge without proof
      What I have here in my hand
      This is what I feel for you

      It's why the earth is alive
      It makes electricity work
      And fire dance in the sky ..

      Feel it
      Feel inside the atoms where the science breaks down
      Feel inside the atoms where the science breaks down
      If you don't believe in love
      You'd have to make it up
      You'd have to make it up
      You'd have to make it up

      What I have here in my hand
      Is like faith but not faith
      What I have here in my hand
      This is what I feel for you

      What I have here in my hand
      Is like knowing but deeper
      It's why I am here
      It's why I am here
