TOO MUCH INFORMATION
Destroyed by MTV,I hate to bite the hand that
feeds me so much information
The Pressure's on the screen
to sell you things that you don't need
it's too much information for me
Hey TV Child look into my eyes
Here by intervention I want your attention
Promotion Boy in a suit and tie
He wants you to use it
You're too shot to loose it
It's pumpin down the cable
Like never seen before
A COLA [condom] manufacturer is sponsoring the war
Here comes the news with love from me to you
Destroyed by ABC
I hate to bite the hand that
feeds me so much information
The Pressure's on the screen
to sell you things that you don't need
it's too much information for me
Turn on the tube
Hits you with the Groove
advertizin muzik
We want you to choose it
These teeth are white trainers ULTRA BRITE
This band is perfect just don't scratch the surface
We covered all the angles
the survey people said
Just put us on the cover we'll be smilin anyway
This video was made with LOVE to you
Destroyed by BBC
I hate to bite the hand that
feeds me so much information
The Pressure's on the screen to
sell you things that you don't need
it's too much information for me

Dialate your MIND

Got to give it to me
Got to listen to me
Got to give in to me
Now I'm on the line
I try......
ORDINARY WORLD
Came in from a rainy Thursdayon the avenue
thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV
and the radio
still I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize?
gone away
But I won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
and as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence
once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
cross the rooftops
run away
left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away
but I won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
and as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Papers in the roadside
tell of suffering and greed
here today, forgot tomorrow
ooh, here besides the news
of holy war and holy need
ours is just a little sorrowed talk
And I don't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
and as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
every one
is my world, I will learn to survive
any one
is my world, I will learn to survive
any one
is my world
every one
is my world
LOVE VOODOO
When I first met you on the roofYou cought me in your web of youth
But now I know the wicked truth
It's much to late so what's the use in fighting?
You peel me like an onion skin
And wonder at the state I'm in
One day you'll turn up to begin
And find there's nothing left but innuendo
Beside you others fade away
Like Amateurs in love's charade
Much more than just a game you play
These certain rules become a way of living
Night after night I try to prove
That I can resist you
Tied up inside your Love Voodoo
Designed to Manipulate
The Queen of sensuality
You shelter me from Liberty
It's nothing short of Piracy
That's not to say it doesn't please me sometimes.
Now this may come as no surprise
But I'm content to compromise
Until the day you realize
That I have been manipulating you
Night after night I try to prove
That I can resist you
Tied up inside your Love Voodoo
Designed to Manipulate
MID
Yes, I'm tied up inside your loving
But it's voodoo to me
Everynight how I try
How I try to resist you
But it's no good to me
Night after night I try to prove
That I can resist you
Tied up inside your Love Voodoo
Designed to Manipulate
Night after night I try to prove
That I can resist you
Tied up inside your Love Voodoo
Designed to Manipulate
DROWNING MAN
He's sinking faster than a drowning manHe'll grab a hold of anyone he can
Gun in his poket and a heart of ham
Uncle Sam
He's dying faster than a rabid dog
Infect us all now he's losing blood
Nose for trouble and a soul of rock
Smokey's man
Don't drag me down
I don't wanna drown
Your going down
NA NANA NA NANA NANA NA NA
There's not much flesh
Just skin and bone
Cheeks sunk deep
Eyes popping wide
Don't put out a hand to help him
This drowning man will bite it right off
RIGHT OFF
RIGHT OFF
RIGHT OFF
Don't drag me down
I don't wanna drown
Your going down
NA NANA NA NANA NANA NA NA
MID
He's selling faster than a magazine
Infect us all with his TV Screen
Don't drag me down
I don't wanna drown
Your going down
NA NANA NA NANA NANA NA NA
SHOTGUN
Get it togetherThing is jumpin'
I wanna see your
Bullets pumpin'
Shotgun
Itchy finger
On the trigger
Got to make the
Shooter bigger
Shotgun
COME UNDONE
Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skinI've been waiting for you
Signed, with a home tattoo,
Happy birthday to you was created for you
(can't ever keep from falling apart
At the seams
Can't I believe you're taking my heart
To pieces)
Oh, it'll take a little time,might take a little crime
to come undone now
We'll try to stay blind
to the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry
Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone
Words, playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before
Chill, is it something real
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers
(Can't ever keep from falling apart
At the seams
Can I believe you're taking my heart
To pieces)
Lost, in a snow filled sky, we'll make it alright
To come undone now
BREATH AFTER BREATH
Breath After BreathAma! Danca!
Every day I wake up in this room
and I don't know
Where I come from,
where I'm going to
then I hear the voice
Senhora musa da paz
Me abraca
me carrega no teu andor
Dormir no colo da dor
Amiga, arrasa!
A tua mao desenhou
O sonho na areia
Agora, entrega de vez
Meu rumo
E vida
From where I stand
The truth isn't black and white
Alone we live and die
We love and fight
Breath after breath
we carry this mortal coil
Safe for tomorrow
Do I dare
oh do I dare
follow through the goorsteps
my whole body hears
Beating on my heart like a feather
beating of a moment til I disappear
Diga uma palavra alegre
Manda um recado
Que seja agoca
Faz o mundo ficar novo
E dancar no colo do tal de amor
From where I stand
The truth isn't black and white
Alone we live and die
We love and fight
Breath after breath
we carry this mortal coil
Safe for tomorrow
Circles in sand are washed out into the sea
Just as we slip on through to eternity
Breath after breath
we carry this mortal coil
Safe for tomorrow
Diga uma palavra, cara
Bem alegre
Corre, manda logo um recado
Me abraca
Faz um clima doce
Me arrepia!
Chega de sufocol
Me poe louco!
Me faz diamante
Teu amante
Danca ao som do vento
Me ensina
Basta de sufoco
Nao faz jogo...
A flame of love is burning
Always
The song is of the planets
oh whooooooo
The dance is to the rhythm of the rain
Where everyone is coming from
is coming to
And birth is just a
breath after breath
UMF
Here we standin the shadow of the master plan
Makin' touble wherever we can,
stir it up, stir it up, stir it up
Can't you see this boy is going cheap -
knockdown to a basement deal
But I really won't stop til I get to the top
Take it from me, I'm waiting here on my knees
And I love the way you tease me
(oh) such a wonderful person
Don't play rough -
it's easy when you know your stuff
Say please and sure enough, so kind,
I'm makin love to the ultimate mind
Come on, take a look, put it to me, baby
You could feel a love come tumbling down
I just want to wrap myself in you baby
We could tell the world we're fooling around
Ultimately, I'd say shes toying with me
It's a case of wait and see,
but right now I'm gonna keep my pants on
A to Zed, shes doin' it to my head
We don't need to go to bed, you'll find,
to make love to the ultimate mind
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...)
Put it to me, baby
(you could feel a love...)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...)
Wanna wrap myself in you, baby
(we'll tell the world...)
Talk me round,
let's do it right here and now
I don't want you cooling down,
turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
We could fit reality's two-way split personality
Life's a bitch, but I'm fine,
making love to the ultimate mind
Heaven's bent, we're completely innocent
We all got to pay the rent,
and in time we learn to compromise
Talkin' tall, but I feel invisible
Can you see me after all that I said,
there's only one thing for it
Take a look, put it to me, baby
You could feel a love come tumbling down
I just want to wrap myself in you baby
We can tell the world were fooling around
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...)
Come on, take a look, put it to me, baby
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...)
You could be a love come tumbling down
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...)
I just want to wrap myself in you baby
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...)
We could tell the world we're fooling around
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...)
Come on, take a look, put it to me, baby
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...)
You could feel a love come tumbling down
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...)
I just want to wrap myself in you baby
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...)
We could tell the world we're fooling around
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...)
Come on, take a look (put it to me baby)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...)
I'm making love to the ultimate mind
Ultimate mind
Ultimate mind...
NONE OF THE ABOVE
There was a time I was so afraidOf everything people around me said
That I wanted to hide my face in the shadows
There was a time on a bed of nails
I was dreaming a plan I thought could not fail
But no power under the sun could pull it together
I can't take this attitude
Got to show now I got to move on
God knows where I'm going to
Its a lonely burning question
I am I myself alone
Realize I never need to use No-one
Money, power, Holy roads.
Freedom puts my faith in none of the above
If there's a time that we ever see
The nature of life in reality
Then I want to be there
To kick at the answer
I can't take this attitude
Got to show now I got to move on
God knows where I'm going to
Its a lonely burning question
I am I myself alone
Realize I never need to use No-one
Money, power, Holy roads.
Freedom puts my faith in none of the above
I am I myself alone
Realize I never need to use No-one
Money, power, Holy roads.
Freedom puts my faith in none of the above
MIDDLE
I am I myself alone
Realize I never need to use No-one
Money, power, Holy roads.
Freedom puts my faith in none of the above
I am I myself alone
Realize I never need to use No-one
Money, power, Holy roads.
Freedom puts my faith in none of the above
None of the above
I stand by none of the above
FEMME FATALE
Here she comes you better watch your step.She's going to break your heart in two
Its true it's not hard to realize
Just look into her false coloured eyes
She'll build you up just to put you down,
What a clown
'Coz everybody knows... she's a femme fatale
Things she does to please, sees just a little tease
See the way she walks, hear the way she talks
You're written in her book,
You're number 37 take a look
She's going to smile to make you frown, what a clown
Little boy she's from the street
Before you start your're already beat
She's going to play you for a fool
Yes it's true
'Coz everybody knows... she's a femme fatale
Things she does to please, sees just a little tease
See the way she walks, hear the way she talks
She will try to put you doen, the hardest girl around
'Coz everybody knows... she's a femme fatale
Things she does to please, sees just a little tease
She's a femme fatale.
SHELTER
I watch you from my window working this vicious roadYou shudder when the wind blowsgirl you're looking beat and coldDon't know your situation but you look so alone to meIn my imagination this is how the message reads
Just come softly to me in the shelter of my heart
Trust my intuition you're the one I've got to know
I give without condition wouldn't try to save your soul
Money or reputation doesn't mean a thing to me
Special communication it's the only thing we need
Reaching out... Calling out
Just come softly to me
Calling out...
Hear me now
In the shelter of my heat
Reaching out... calling out...
Hear me now... do you read me?
In the shelter of my heart.
Here is no pain to feel
Here is safe for lips unsealed
Just come softly to me
Reaching out
Reaching out for your love babe
Calling out
Calling out for your love
for your love babe
Just come softly to me in the shelter of my heart

SIN OF THE CITY
Coat check girl up in Happylandhas a violent row with a Cuban man
Julio leaves in a drunken rage
Comes back with the gasoline
The club has no fire exit
The club had no door
Only five people came out alive
The sin is that 89 died
89 dead
89 dead
89 dead
89 dead
The sin is that a year and a half
before the fire chief's out
and he's raising cain brands
Happyland hazzard close down but no.
No-one ever paid him no mind
City living heavy trouble
City living rough
We are given angry heart
But angers not enough
Daily News reviews of the landlords life
found six thousand code violations light.
The city has more a hundred thousand wars
all for one of Forbes' Four Hundred whores.
Just one fire cracker on a big bonfire
of self serving penny pinching wiseguy style.
Never allowing for the human condition.
The sin is that these guys survive.
City living heavy trouble
City living rough.
We are given angry heart
But anger's not enough... rpt.
You're using your people up.
Stop killing your people now.
Stop wasting your people now
Sin of the City.
