1. _ Burning With Optimism's Flames
Never seen her glowing
All that bright she's throwing
Like some aurora
From her head it's growing
Reaching to the ground and all around
Like a navajo blanket
Never heard her singing
Now she's gently ringing
Like copper wind chimes
What on earth is bringing up this stream
The cat who got the cream is licking her lips
And smiling like her cheshire cousin
She claims she's found a way to make her own light
All you do is smile, you banish the night
She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away away
She says she's burning up all her guilts and shames, away away
She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away away
She says she's burning up
Now you see i'm smiling
Back to juvenile'ing
I learnt her lesson
In like flint and styling
All the world is neatly curled around my littlest finger
I can't stop this grinning
So assume i'm winning
Threw pessimism
In the air it's spinning
Crashing to the floor and nevermore
Will it lure me away with sweets
And shiny things just like a magpie
Now every bird and bee just fuel the fire for me
Now every closing door just fans the flames some more
(now i'm thinking okay)
(i'm turning night into day)

2. _ Living Through Another Cuba
Living through another cuba
It's 1961 again and we are piggy in the middle
While war is polishing his drum and peace plays second fiddle
Russia and america are at each other's throats
But don't you cry
Just on your knees and pray, and while you're
Down there, kiss your arse goodbye
We're the bulldog on the fence
While others play their tennis overhead
It's hardly love all and somebody might
Wind up red or dead
Pour some oil on the water quick
It doesn't really matter where from
He love me, he loves me not
He's pulling fins from an atom bomb
This phenomenon happens every 20 years or so
If they're not careful your watch won't be the
Only thing with a radioactive glow
I'll stick my fingers in my ears
And hope they make it up before too late
If we get through this lot alright
They're due for replay, 1998

3. _ Love At First Sight
See the lovers all gone crazy
Looking for romance it seems
Many sleepless nights will follow
Some may lose but some succeed
Love at first sight
What they want is...
Love at first sight
Make a play of lust intention
Only just one thing in mind
Make a slip could be forever
Wedding bells, the shotgun kind
Love at first sight
What they want is...
Love at first sight
Mouse takes the bait
So soon as he leaves his seat
There's no escape, very soon their eyes will meet
Love at first sight etc.
Take your partner to surrender
Then your misdemeanour's done
Sacrifice of maidenhood
But little boys must have their fun
Love at first sight.

4. _ Travels In Nihilon
You've learnt no lessons
All that time so cheaply spent
There's no youth culture
Only masks they let you rent
Travels, travels in nihilon
We've seen, no jesus come and gone
Fashion, their vampire
Drapes itself across your back
As you fall from style
It waits rebirth on its rack
Building your whimsy
Hypnotising you to need
Dance goes full circle
One step ahead of your greed
You've learnt no lessons
All those years to get it right
Flashes of promise
Burn out faster than strobe light

5. _ Towers Of London
Towers of london
When they had built you
Did you watch over the men who fell
Towers of london
When they had built you
Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell
Pavements of gold leading to the underground
Grenadier guardsmen walking pretty ladies around
Fog is the sweat of the never never navvies who pound
Spikes in the rails to their very own heaven
Bridges of muscles spanning so long and high
Merchants from stepney walking pretty ladies by
Rain is the tears of the never never navvies who cry
For the bridge that doesn't go
In the direction of dublin
And i've seen it in a painting
And i've seen it in engraving
And i've seen it in their faces
Clear as children's chalk lines on the paving
Towers of london
La la londinium.

6. _ Generals And Majors
Generals and majors ah ah
They're never too far
From battlefields so glorious
Out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
Till once again victorious
Generals and majors always
Seem so unhappy 'less they got a war
Generals and majors ah ah
Like never before are tired of being actionless.
Calling generals and majors
Generals and majors everywhere
Calling generals and majors
Your world war iii is drawing near
Generals and majors ah ah
They're never too far
Away from men who made the grade
Out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
Until the battle's lost or made
Generals and majors ah ah
Like never before, are tired of being in the shade

7. _ No Language In Our Lungs
There is no language in our lungs
To tell the world just how we feel
No bridge of thought
No mental link
No letting out just what you think
There is no language in our lungs
There is no muscle in our tongues
To tell the world what's in our hearts
No we're leaving nothing
Just chiselled stones
No chance to speak before we're bones
There is no muscle in our tongues
I thought i had the whole world in my mouth
I thought i could say what i wanted to say
For a second that thought became a sword in my hand
I could slay any problem that would stand in my way
I felt just like a crusader
Lionheart, a holy land invader
But nobody can say what they really mean to say and
The impotency of speech came up and hit me that day and
I would have made this instrumental
But the words got in the way
There is no language in our...
There is no language in our lungs
To tell the world what's in our hearts
No we're leaving nothing behind
Just chiselled stones
No chance to speak before we're bones
There is no language in our lungs.

8. _ Sgt. Rock (is Going To Help Me)
I'm enlisting, overseas aid
Need assisting, help with a maid
Get the expert, on mademoiselles
He could diffuse, any bombshell
If i could only be tough like him
Then i could win
My own, small, battle of the sexes
Sgt. rock is going to help me
Make the girl mine
Keep her stood in line
Sgt. rock is going to help me
Make the girl mine
Keep her stood in line
Make the girl mine, wave the victory sign
I'm invading, territories
Girls are foreign, and strange to me
Get the expert, at kissing and stuff
He stays easy, when things get rough
Sometimes relationships don't go as planned
Some girls, can make themselves so cold
A no-mans land.

9. _ Paper And Iron (notes And Coins)
Paper, iron, won't buy eden
Working for paper and for iron
Work for the right to keep my tie on
Working for paper and for iron
Work for the unicorn and lion
I pray the kids aren't starving
No chicken for the sunday carving
I'll stay for one more farthing
I take home my notes and coins every week
I'm told i'm worth much more
But the church says turn the other cheek
The other cheek
Paper, iron, won't buy eden.
I know the family needs me
Can't moan, the factory feeds me
Won't bite the hand that bleeds me
I take home my notes and coins every week
I'll inherit the earth i'm told
But the church says to remain this meek
Remain this meek
I'm still a proud man.
Won't show anybody else my wage
A blend in the crowd man
Is this anybody's golden age
Is this anybody's golden age
Is this anybody's golden age
Or am i dreaming of a golden cage
La la lo it's paper
La la lo it's iron
La la lo just paper
La la lo just iron

10. _ Rocket From A Bottle
Birds beware, expect me up there
Me and air are feeling light today
Jets should hide, i'll fly alongside
Me and pride are bolted tight today
I've been set off by a pretty little girl
I'm like a rocket from a bottle shot free
I've been just explosive since you lit me
I've been up with the larks
I've been shooting off sparks
And i'm feeling in love
I'm a rocket from a bottle shot free
I've been just explosive since you kissed me
I've been up in the clouds
I've been shrugging off shrouds
And i'm feeling in love
Hate step back, my smile might just crack
Can't stop grins from going wide today
Hell look sharp, angels play your harp
I feel strong like the tide today
