1. _ Reds In My Bed
There's a fat man who offers a change of scene
Says he'll guarantee my sheet will be clean
When i get on the outside
But who can you trust when the walls have ears
I'm for takin' a chance, like a drownin' man
I'm going under
I've got reds in my bed
I'm not easily led to the slaughter
And while the cold war exists
I'll stay warm with the commisar's daughter
We could meet at the zoo where the tiger roams
In a prison of steel
He reminds me so much of the way i feel
And we know that we're both in the danger zone
Where the eyes of the world
Full of shutters and bugs are upon us now
I've got reds in my bed
I get blues looking out of my window
And we're never alone, there's a tap on the phone
And my pillow
Let me go home
(there's a girl in a distant land)
Let me go home
(who's nothing more than a memory)
She don't know that i'm gonna be free
Let me go home
(you're a land full of misery)
Let me go home
(you're a cruel and a faceless race)
I don't like your philosophy
I don't like your philosophy
The connections are made and the time is right
So my body is walled in the shell of a car
In the dead of night
And i laugh through the pain and the agony
As they cut me away to be born again
Back to humanity
You've got reds in your bed
There's a man lookin' over your shoulder
But don't you give him your mind
It's too late when you find that it's over
You!
Let me go home
(you're a land full of misery)
Let me go home
(you're nothing more than a memory)
I don't like your philosophy
Let me go home
(you're a cruel and a faceless race)
Let me go home
(you're nothing more than a memory)
I don't like your philosophy

2. _ Tokyo
Transistorised, and anodised
Chrome plated, squeaky clean
Oh tokyo, oh tokyo
Oh tokyo i love you
You're trembling, you're choking
But you're magical to me
Oh tokyo, oh tokyo
Oh tokyo i love you
Kimonos, and geisha girls
From grade one, down to three
Oh tokyo, oh tokyo
Oh tokyo i love you
Land of the rising sun
You have taken my heart away
With your beauty you nearly blinded me
In your beauty i want to stay
I bow to you with my heart
I think of you every day
When i dream you are there beside me
But when i waken you're far away
Perfection, in miniature
With tiny hands, smiling eyes
Oh tokyo, oh tokyo
Oh tokyo i love you

3. _ Dreadlock Holiday
I was walkin' down the street
Concentratin' on truckin' right
I heard a dark voice beside of me
And i looked round in a state of fright
I saw four faces one mad
A brother from the gutter
They looked me up and down a bit
And turned to each other
I say
I don't like cricket oh no
I love it
I don't like cricket oh no
I love it
Don't you walk thru my words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk thru my words
`cause you ain't heard me out yet
Well he looked down at my silver chain
He said i'll give you one dollar
I said you've got to be jokin' man
It was a present from me mother
He said i like it i want it
I'll take it off your hands
And you'll be sorry you crossed me
You'd better understand that you're alone
A long way from home
And i say
I don't like reggae no no
I love it
I don't like reggae oh no
I love it
Don't you cramp me style
Don't you queer on me pitch
Don't you walk thru my words
`cause you ain't heard me out yet
I hurried back to the swimming pool
Sinkin' pina coladas
I heard a dark voice beside me say
Would you like something harder
She said i've got it you want it
My harvest is the best
And if you try it you'll like it
And wallow in a dreadlock holiday
And i say
Don't like jamaica oh no
I love her
Don't like jamaica oh no
I love her oh yea
Don't you walk thru her words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk thru her words
`cause you ain't heard her out yet
I don't like cricket
I love it (dreadlock holiday)
I don't like reggae
I love it (dreadlock holiday)
Don't like jamaica
I love her (dreadlock holiday)

4. _ For You And I
The world is full of other people (ooh ooh)
Take a look around
We're quick to laugh when they've got troubles (ooh ooh)
And we put `em down
We go
We're not so hot you know
It's like a roller coaster
On a downward motion
On a one way street
We can't control our feet
We're on the road to ruin
Don't know what we're doin'
She may be quiet
She may be shy
But don't you bring her down
Don't pass her by
The world of wisdom behind her eyes
Could answer everything
But you and i
We seem to wander in a daydream (ooh ooh)
We never look around
The world is full of other people (ooh ooh)
And we put `em down
We go
We're not so hot you know
It's like a roller coaster
On a downward motion
On a one way street
We can't control our feet
We're on the road to ruin
Don't know what we're doin'
She's not beautiful
But don't make it plain
You underestimate
It's not a game
A heart of gold
Behind the drab
Would comfort anyone
But you and i
Should try to see it from the other side (oooh)
We'll get a shock
It could surprise you
The world is full of other people (ooh ooh)
Take a look around
We set the pace while others listen (ooh ooh)
Never make a sound
The rain must fall
But we can change
Our understanding
Will remain
So take a moment
To wonder why
The world keeps turning
For you and i

5. _ Last Night
Last night
You know you really really
Made me appreciate my life
When you took me to the seventh floor
And closed the door
I didn't stand a chance
Oh oh that night
When my conscience was losing
In that age old fight
Now i've always been a non-believer
A true deceiver
A hit and run romance
Don't you know that when we turned out the light
We were riding on the crest of a tidal wave
Like we were ships in the night
Going nowhere
Last night
When the feeling was missing
But the mood was right
From the moment we took the floor
I knew for sure
We'd play the parts we're expected to
I've done it so many times
Man we're all inmates of the human zoo
Our bodies in control of our minds
I played the jester and you played the fool
You kept forgetting your lines
I had to prompt you with a bourbon or two
Huh, you planned to come all the time
But when we turned out the light
We were riding on the crest of a tidal wave
Like we were ships in the night
Going nowhere (nowhere)
Oh last night
You know you really really
Gave me something to write about
In the morning it was just the same
I'd lost again
But it won't take me long to forget
Oh oh last night

6. _ From Rochdale To Ocho Rios
From rochdale to ocho rios
From ocho rios to dorking
From dorking its back to rochdale
From rochdale to ocho rios
You spend half your life in transit
But that's just the way god plans it
Pack a shirt and some fresh pajamas
That's all you need
Tried to get a flight out to san juan
But air jamaica don't fly on sunday
Gotta get a flight out to san juan
Because i wanna see the mama and the papa
When i look into your blue eyes
I bend the truth but i never tell you lies
I need my lover, i need your care
Understandings not enough to make it fair
From rochdale to ocho rios
From ocho rios to dorking
From dorking its back to rochdale
From rochdale to ocho rios
Asleep in a stream of sunlight
Awake in a dream at midnight
I'm rushing to wait for jumbo
Oh where am i now
Tried to get a flight out to san juan
But air jamaica don't fly on sunday
Gotta get a flight out to san juan
Because i wanna see the mama and the papa
A dressing room so far from home
A corridor with a broken telephone
I wanna call but i got to go
The curtains up and it's time to do the show
Show time!
I just got in to the city
Yeah, it's so insane
But the man with the suitcase
Is on the road again
Tried to get a flight out to san juan
But air jamaica don't fly on sunday
Gotta get a flight out to san juan
Because i wanna see the mama and the papa
Asleep in a stream of sunlight
Awake in a dream at midnight
I'm rushing to wait for jumbo
Oh where am i now
You spend half your life in transit
But that's just the way god plans it
Pack a shirt and some fresh pajamas
That's all you need
Everybody sing!
From rochdale to ocho rios
From ocho rios to dorking
From dorking its back to rochdale
Oh where are we now

7. _ Everything You Wanted To Know About
I took my fantasy to deborah
You know she's always been a friendly girl
You'll see her cruise the picadilly streets
And she winks at every man she meets
I've been a fan of hers for quite a time
I tried to pull her with a bummer line
I asked her would she like a cigarette
And she said let's go to bed
(`cause that's what you want)
And so i went
And i was shocked
I was so green
Ground i wish you'd swallow me up
She had to laugh
I nearly died
Some superstud!
There's more to this than meets the eye
I hurried back to read the manual through
You know the one that tells you what to do
But all i needed was the confidence
To start and break the ice
Experience would be a boon for life
And debbie smiled as i came strolling by
I said i'd like to have a second shot
And i'd give it all i've got
And with a twinkle in her eye
She led me by the hand
Through a door to a room
Above a soho restaurant
And she smiled and told me
Not to look so serious
But by the time she'd talked me down
I was delerious, i was away
I had to window shop in amsterdam
But down the troubador in hollywood
I found a lover who was bold enough
To live my fantasy (this isn't a dream)
I was away
Up in the blue
Emmanuelle
How you gonna make it in a jet
The need to shock
Was coming through
Where would it end
You'll never know

8. _ Old Mister Time
He looked funny
The children called him the scarecrow
An old raincoat
And baggy trousers and sneakers
He found at the dump
Oh, but if you bothered to look
There was something behind the rags
Oh there was a look in his eyes
It was something you'd never forget
He lived badly
A broken shack on the railway
An old moggy
The only one who replied
When he talked to the walls
Oh we didn't understand
We were fooled by the dirt on his face
Oh we were human then
We were searching behind his disgrace
Why don't you leave me alone
Why don't you go to your homes
Why don't you keep to yourselves
I'm tellin you
Why don't you leave me alone
You're never gonna realise
When all you do is criticise
You're never gonna make it work
You never seem to get enough
You crumble when its getting rough
You're never gonna make it work
I'm tellin' you there'll come a day
You're gonna blow yourselves away
It's wrong that i should interfere
I just get in the way
Why don't you leave me alone
Why don't you go to your homes
Why don't you keep to yourselves
I'm tellin you
Why don't you leave me alone
Deep into the night
He was working by the light
Of the candle by his bed
On the theory in his head
He was building from the junk
That he rescued from the dump
And when he turned the power on
There was a sound and he was gone
Oh in the gray of the dawn
We discovered the thing he was working on
Oh we didn't understand
The future was old mister time
Future was old mister time
Future was old mister time
Future was old mister time
Old mister time (mister time, mister time....)
Old mister time (mister time, mister time....)
Old mister time (mister time, mister time....)

9. _ Life Line
Ten thousand miles away from someone
Ten thousand miles away from you
Who's your friend on the end of a telephone line
A telephone line's like a life line
You run me cool you run me hot love
You take me where i wanna be
Ship to shore, air to land
Seems it's always the same
I always end up with a lame brain
Dont' got talkin' in your sleep no
Don't go givin' it all away
Don't go walkin' in your sleep no
Don't go givin' it all away
Dont' got talkin' in your sleep no
Don't go givin' it all away
Don't go walkin' in your sleep no
You're ten thousand miles away
Livin' it up in the paradise
Don't make it right, don't make it wrong
When you know you've got a friend
Who's at the other end
And a telephone line's like a life line
But a walk on the wire
It don't put out no fire
A telephone line's like a life line
Dont' got talkin' in your sleep no
Don't go givin' it all away
Don't go walkin' in your sleep no
Don't go givin' it all away
Dont' got talkin' in your sleep no
Don't go givin' it all away
Don't go walkin' in your sleep no
You're ten thousand miles away
When you wake you'll find me sleepin'
The clock don't stop when you're not here
But you know you've got a friend
Who's at the other end
And a telephone line's like a life line
A telephone line is a life line

10. _ Take These Chains
Baby baby oh baby
I'd love to love you
But my hands are tied
Break these chains
Oh oh these chains that are killing me
You don't need money if you've got love
We've got each other and its more than enough
Break these chains
Oh oh these chains that are holding me
Ooh ooh my love
It's all too much for me to take
Take these chains
Take these chains
She never thought that i could live without her
All the little things she used to do
Then i fell in love with you
You found me
You took me in
When no one wanted me
Making love on a sandy beach
The stars above us and we're clean out of reach
Of my chains
Oh oh the chains that were killing me
And you make everything a paradise
And paradise with you is twice as nice
Never change, never change what you're doing to me
Never change
Never change

11. _ Shock On The Tube (don't Want Love)
I was travelling home on the subway
When this vision got on at maida vale
And as i casually eyed the classifieds
She sat down next to me
Every head in the carriage was wondering
I replied with a smile on my face
And as i slipped into the arms of morpheus
To daydream the rest of the way
She was a smooth operator
You could see it in her dress
I said i'd like to see you later
But i didn't want to press
I was homing like a scanner
Did a mental strip tease
But she knew that she was special
And she came on like a tease
Don't want love
Just looking for happiness
Don't want love
Not looking for tenderness
Don't want love
Just looking for happiness
Don't want love
She was a headstrong woman
With a demon in her blood
Through the window in her eyes
I saw fire in her soul
And i knew if i pursued it
My fingers would be burned
Like a moth round a candle
I was momentarily stunned
Don't want love
Just looking for happiness
Don't want love
Not looking for tenderness
Don't want love
Just looking for happiness
Don't want love
The carriage was spinning
We were up on the floor
She was whirling like a dervish
I was whirling like a fool
My reactions were dimming
Like an alcoholic haze
I could hear people clapping
I was stumbling in a daze
I was stumbling in a daze
My eyes tried to focus
I was suddenly aware
She was newborn naked
I was altogether bare
There were shouts all around us
There were clothes on the floor
As i tried to find my senses
I was sliding down the door
Down a coal black tunnel
I was slipping away
Then i felt the water hit me
And i heard somebody say
Better get yourself together
This is the end of the line
When i looked for my woman
I'd been dreaming all the time
Don't want love
Just looking for happiness
Don't want love
Not looking for tenderness
Don't want love
Just looking for happiness
Don't want love
