1. _ Waiting For The Ufos
pre>intro out of the notes in open d
D em g (a)
No-one can hide it anymore we know it's not imagining
D em g a
Even the skeptics are unsure when they stop to think
Bm g bm g
People are not worth their life now they are obsolete
D em g a
We're dying to be invaded and put the blame on something concrete
Chorus
G d g d
Waiting for the ufos waiting for the ufos
A d em
We are waiting for the ufos we know that they're there
We're just a joke they sometimes crack, they'll get away with anything
The government is holding back, they won't say a word
Now is that a light in sky or just a spark in my heart?
Can i accept this as evidence or will that tear the whole act apart?
Chorus
Bridge
C g
This new obsession is turning us alien too too
C a
Much more resounding my heart just stopped pounding for you
Waiting for the ufos waiting for the ufos
We are waiting for the ufos waiting waiting
Repeat chorus /pre>

2. _ Discovering Japan
pre>[intro] bm d a (3 times)
D bm
Her heart is nearly breaking, the earth is nearly quaking
D a
The tokyo's taxi's braking, it's screaming to a halt
G a bm g
And there's nothing to hold on to when gravity betrays you
A d bm
And every kiss enslaves you-oo-oo
D bm
She knows how hard her heart grows under the nuclear shadows
D a
She can't escape the feeling repeating in her head
G a bm g
When after all the urges some kind of truth emerges
A
We felt the deadly surges
Bm a g d a
Discovering japan--an --an
Bm a g d a g d bm bm
Discovering japan--an --an
D bm
The gis only use her, they only ram right through her
D a
Giving an eastern promise, that they could never keep
G a bm g
Seeing a million miles, between their joke and smiles
A d
She heard their hard denials [don't pause]
Bm a
As the tears dropped sideways down her face, face
Bm a
I woke up talking in the tongue of a different race, race
Bm g
And as the flight touches down my watch says 8:02
F#m bm d a
But that's midnight to you,
Bm d a bm d a / g a
Midnight to you midight to you
D bm
I dreamed headlong collisions in jet lag panavisions
D a
I shouted sayonara it didn't mean goodbye
G a bm g
But lovers turn to posers show up in film exposures
A
Just like in travel brochures
Bm a g d a bm a g d a

4. _ Nobody Hurts You
pre>riff over e d a e b a e d a d e
G
I try to pull my weight, study my geography
A d
It doesn't seem to get me anywhere
G
I hold a picture up, everybody thinks it's me
A d
I get a thrill out of tampering with the atmosphere
Bm g
Hey baby, i'm out of favour
Bm d
Can't always be the right flavour
G
It just seems that no matter what you do
A
Someone, somewhere's suddenly gotta punish you
Chorus
D a g a
Nobody hurts you nobody hurts you
D a g a
Nobody hurts you nobody hurts you
G d
Harder than yourself harder than yourself
G d
Harder than yourself harder than yourself
I once had this dream, woke up with the daily news
And it looked like forever
I had a coffee fix, every item there to choose?
All my love came by letter
Suffocating in suburbia
The new estates build claustrophobia
Grandfather's money only in the finest stuff
That's enough, that's enough, that's enough
Repeat chorus, repeast intro
You make me tag along, run into the rent-a-crowd
But they're just imitation
I try to write the song, you and me are laughing loud
But it comes out frustration
Noone's going to illuminate you
All the odds are stacked against you
You're just cavin' in, right there in front of me
It's a picture i don't ever want to see
Repeat chorus with variations chords are g and d /pre>

I try to straighten out but i'm too wrapped up to see

C d c d
There is always some advantage to be wielded and brought to bear

It's a lonely occupation keeping others out of your hair
C d c d
Fingers on all the switches talk in whispers talking soft
C d d
You know all my favourite bitches you know what gets me off
C d c d c
But try to reach a vital part of me my interest level's dropping rapidly
C d c
It's all excuses baby all a stall i just don't get excited
I've been running round in circles and jump jump jumping out of cars
They put animals in cages specimens in jars
It's summer now there's no temptation and baby nails digging under skin
It don't give me the right sensation it's just another thing
You try to reach a vital part of me my attention span is dropping rapidly
C d c
It's all excuses baby all a stall we just don't get excited
D c d
Don't get excited no don't get excited don't get excited
Bridge

Talk about it talk about it all night long
Think about it think about it nothing's wrong
Don't get excited don't get excited don't get excited c
Don't get excited don't get excited don't get excited don't get excited
Solo over c d
Baby listen without thinking you better be without demands
Now don't get edgy and don't start blinking and don't start making any plans
You try to reach a vital part of me my interest level's dropping rapidly
It's all excuses baby all a stall we just don't get excited
Don't get excited no don't get excited don't get excited

Em g g c
So all of you be damned we can't have heaven crammed

So winston churchill said i could have smacked his head

And everybody tells me don't be scared act as if you never cared
So i wear a blank expression to conceal my real impression
Turn off all the information radios just pick up that station
Repeat chorus then em/g am/c which repeats over bridge
So turn off this sound i'm ready to go down
I don't know myself, i don't you either
You're full of disease it's something i discovered
I know you've been mixing with big brother's brother
It ain't the knife in the heart that tears you apart
It's just the thought of someone
It's just the thought of someone
Em em
It's just the thought of someone sticking it in, sticking it in
So if you think that's funny i'm not really laughng honey
Your love letters are confetti i ripped them up my hands were sweaty
And then those ghastly faces recur in nightmare places
Happy hours come and go much too short and much too long
Chorus then this rhythm again em/g am/c
Turn off all the information radios just pick up that station
Protection protection protection
It ain't the knife in the heart that tears you apart
It's just the thought of someone sticking it in
Protection protection switch it off switch it off switch it off
Protection switch it off switch it off switch it off
Protection protection you want to hide? you want to hide?
You want to hide, hide, hide? protection repeat and fade /pre>

(3 times) and fade
Here's the story of this transcription:
Someone (off list) emailed me for the lyrics so i wrote them out and
At the same time i wrote down a couple of the chords. then john
(jhayman@k12s.phast.umass.edu) saw it and made the necessary
Additions and corrections.
For a while we were playing emaj7 instead of e in the first line,
(b) sit by my window and (emaj7) look outside, but the current
Thought is that the e is correct.
John wrote: "in hind sight and sound, emaj7 is wrong and e is right.
Although he's singing a db, the rhythm guitar is clearly playing a
Dave edmund's "monkey beat" e." (i play that e at fret 4 (476454))

Intro- e a b e a b e

Did they tear it out, with talons of steel
G#m a
And give you a shot, so that you wouldn't feel

And wash it away, as if it wasn't real
B c#m
It's just a mistake, i won't have to face
G#m a
Don't give it a name, don't give it a place
B e
Don't give it a chance, it's lucky in a way
A b
It must have felt strange, to find me inside you
E a
I hadn't intended to stay

If you want to keep it right, put it to sleep at night
C#m a b
Squeeze it until it could say
Chrrus

You can't be too strong you can't be too strong

E b c#m
Yeah babe i know that it gets dark, down by luna park

He's all rubber gloves and no head

Wishes to god he was dead

10. _ Passion Is No Ordinary Word
pre>intro a e d
A e a
It worked much better in a fantasy
D a e
Imagination's one thing that comes easy to me
A e a
Cause this is nothing else if not unreal
D a e
When i pretend to touch you, you pretend to feel
Chorus
F#m d e a d e
Passion is no ordinary word, passion is no ordinary word
F#m d c#m d
Passion is no ordinary word, ain't manufactured or just another sound
Bm e a e d
That you hear at night at night
Ain't got no idols for the screen today
Although they make a lot of noises they got nothing to say
I try to look amazed but it's an act
The movie might be new but it's the same soundtrack (repeat chorus)
Bridge
E a
Say how it feels real useless ain't it
E d e
Wait until it bites right down inside you
A e d e
The world is easy when you're just playing around with it
A e a e
Everything's a thrill and every girl's a kill
A e d e
And then it gets unreal and then you don't feel anything
A d e a d e a d e
You don't feel anything you don't feel anything
A d e a d e d (solo)
An object of desire you don't desire to be
I bet the shop window dummies give in just as easily
I try to stop but have to make you drop down to the floor
Moaning in the darkness as we fake some more
Repeat chorus twice
Just another sound that you hear at night
Ain't just another sound (repeat and fade on d chord) /pre>
