The Dream Team
04:33
|
|

We are the Dream Team
We are the Dream Team
We are the Dream Team
We're not at home
We're playing with crocodiles
In the Blue Wave pool
Down the street
On the computer
You say "Am I Evil?"
As you send your army
To defeat me
In the evening
We draw a blanket over us
Then watch a film
Until bedtime
We are the Dream Team
We play the "Old Man" game together
And in the flat play hide and seek
I'm so sad when I have to leave you
But there's always next week
Next week!
We are the Dream Team

Faker - duty to resist
The whole thing is his brainchild
Faker - duty to resist
He tries to invade your mind
But we're on to him this time
Power corrupted him
And it's time to draw the line
The Faker knows about it
And he's coming for you
He knows, he knows
That you may let him in too
The whole thing is his brainchild
Faker - duty to resist
He knows we know
When he tells his lies
Who knows? He knows
Recognise his disguise
He knows. He knows
Deny, deny, deny
But you know it's a crime
His poison will kill you
So, catch it in time
The faker!
The faker!
(The Faker) Don't let it dominate you
Ooh...Duty to resist
Ooh...Duty to resist
(The Faker) Don't be afraid of it...

Lying Allegator
03:39
|
|
||
A little-bit-a-touchy
But she was-a-something
Tell you 'bout it later
But she saw me coming
Conditional love - here it was...
Conditional love - here it was...
Dirty Allegator
She had a little secret
And she kept in it the kitchen
She thinks about-a-using it
When somebody's bitchin'
Conditional love - Dirty Operator
Conditional love - here it was
The pasta was too spicy
I tried to put it so nicely
She was drinking her whiskey
Boy, could she knock 'em back...
Then came the attack...
It started with the stabbing
Then got a little crazy
I managed to escape
And I locked her in the kitchen
I called the cops to help me
They came to our place
She told them I'd hit her in the face!
I'm waiting on my lawyer
Sitting in my police cell
My comment on the pasta
Didn't go down too well
Conditional love - Dirty Allegator
Conditional love - Dirty Operator
Dirty Allegator
And the cops believed her
But I believe in Karma...

Born
04:24
|
|
||
I hear
I see
I learn
I speak
I do
I know
I eat
I grow
I am born
Born ready
All I need is in this head and this body
I am born
Born steady
All I feel is in this head and this body
Don’t expect me
To be quite sane
I elected to be born
Again and again
One more life
And then I’m free
I can stay home
Until the spirit summons me
I am born
Born ready
All I need is in this head and this body
I am born
Born steady
All I feel is in this head and this body
I am born
Strong and free
With all I need
Grown up and fed
So, get ready!

The Journey Has Ended
04:27
|
|
||
Have you ever sunk so low you became a disgrace?
Ever danced towards the source of your dark desire?
Have you crawled a thousand miles just to feel an embrace?
Ever done the right thing and been made a pariah?
Ever found a secret place that was concealed?
Each life a surgeon’s knife – you have to cut to heal.
I was discarded once and blown into space
I sought to lay their fate upon a funeral pyre
Now I see evil souls and laugh in their face
I stood on a mountain and watched the world on fire
Looking back now at how I lived with swords and shields
Entering Elysium, a purpose is revealed
I lift my face and turn it to the sun (I’m mended)
I’m proud of whom I have become (and what I’ve transcended)
I stand tall and strong in the fields of love
What had to be done has been done
The journey has ended
Welcome to Elysium – we’re so proud of all of you!
Welcome to Elysium – we’re so proud of all of you!
Welcome to Elysium – we’re so proud of all of you!
Ever found a secret place that was concealed?
Each life a surgeon’s knife – you have to cut to heal.
I lift my face and turn it to the sun (I’m mended)
I’m proud of whom I have become (and what I’ve transcended)
I stand tall and strong in the fields of love
What had to be done has been done
The journey has ended

Human Sunrise
02:58
|
|
||
The child in you in waking up
Let's be innocent for just one day
I'm joining 'cos I've had enough
I wanna go outside and play
Out to the streets to feel the breeze
Let the sun stroke your face
We're aiming for the horizon
Vaccinations gaining pace...
You're not alone
With us on planet earth...
And if you're told it's impossible
Then that's a lie
All look to the emerging sunlit sky
The road back to normality
It's do or die: Human Sunrise!
The world we love can't be breaking up
Let's find the will for just one day
Let's forget all that politics stuff
And keep The Reaper away
We'll let the parents breath with ease
And let the kids touch a living face
You're not alone
With us on planet earth...
And if you're told it's impossible
Then that's a lie
All look to the emerging sunlit sky
The road back to normality
It's do or die: Human Sunrise!

Three men of Willowdale
On a quest to make music
Diatopolis, Diatopolis (summer '79)
Diatopolis, sub-dilopodis
Diatopolis, Diatopolis (summer '79)
Diatopolis, sub-dilopodis
We're making Permanent Waves on the 5-night marathon
Signals seen at Wembley Arena, '83
We Roll the Bones in Ahoy, in Rotterdam
Snakes and Arrows at M.E.N. - Two Thousand and seven
Diatopolis, Diatopolis (Pinkpop'79)
Diatopolis, sub-dilopodis
Diatopolis, Diatopolis (Pinkpop'79)
Diatopolis, sub-dilopodis

Diatopolis, sub-dilopodis (Pinkpop'79)
We cruise down to London for the Angels Tour
We laugh with Lerxst and get a thumbs-up from Dirk
The Professor pounds the beat for The Holy Trinity
You've given so much to us, Neil - rest in peace...

Space Station
03:42
|
|
||
Starlight, sunlight
He sees them passing by
No dreams, no one.
He takes the days as they come
"You don't know what you're doing man!
Join the lemmings with their heads in the sand!"
I'm telling you - he doesn't care
He has his own plans
- Good morning sir
- Ah, Jenkins...this chap - what is actually doing up there?
- Well...well, we don't know
- Must be tip-top secret. Carry on!
It's safe in his craft
As he orbits around the earth
Something drives him
He has a beautiful heart
It used to feel like he's doing time
He was becoming a broken man
I'm telling you: it's not happening
'Cos he's got his space station

Legacy
05:27
|
|
||
Let me tell you 'bout what I see
A man stands in front of me
Relaxed and ready
He's rock steady
And his eyes don't miss a beat
A legacy
Brutality
Unlawfully
Second degree
I feel a chill as he looks at me
He's as proud as a man can be
He does what it takes
He makes mistakes
But that's no excuse for a cop's knee
I've got a feeling he's a good man
Can we try to understand?
We are kneeling with the good man
As we try to make a stand
I've got a feeling he's a good man
Can we try to understand?
We are kneeling with the good man
As we try to make a stand
A ray of light
Shines into my eyes
Some sunlight
Through a cloudy sky
We might succeed
If we drop to our knees
A legacy
For posterity
Let me tell you what I see
A line of men in front me
Relaxed and ready
We're rock steady
We want equality
I've got a feeling he's a good man
Can we try to understand?
We are kneeling with the good man
As we try to make a stand
I've got a feeling he's a good man
Can we try to understand?
We are kneeling with the good man
As we try to make a stand

Inner Screen
03:38
|
|
||
Oh what a life!
The perfect family
Holidays
Fun-filled nights
Smiles and friends
Getaways... Sunlit days...
The job's a breeze
Great colleagues
Fat salary
And photos...
All smile please...
But what we don't see Is how the story plays out
On your Inner Screen
Inner Screen
The secret, pre-social media feed
Choose Freedom
That's what it's all about!
Choose Freedom
That's what it's all about!
Choose Freedom
That's what it's all about!
Oh what a life!
Mundane family
No money
Rainy days
Lonely nights
Broadband down
Distant friends
The real you is honest and free!
Project your
Inner Screen
Inner Screen
The secret, pre-social media feed
Inner Screen
Inner Screen

We were told that the sun would shine
Sharita
Nakita
You were wrong one other time
And that's a crime, Nakita
This one we can't just let pass by
And you will cry
Your image is held oh-so-high
Now it's a lie
Cancel
A video found you
Smoking a cigarette
Drinking wine
A journalist saw you
Dating an actor
(Alleged criminal ties)
The march is on to bring you down
Sharita
Nakita
Fame is not all that you'll find
Between the lines
Of twisted minds
And while your ratings hit the floor
You drink more
And as we gloat at your demise
The next victim will rise

Broke the Mould
05:15
|
|
||
In many ways
They were the good old days
A hand to hold
Together on the road ahead
We were never told
By anybody
That we were unconsciously
Fitting the mould
Cold brutality
The reality.
You were unhappy
You abandoned me
Now the wheels have turned
Many regrets for me,
But no more conditional love
And, at least, I am free

Two Hundred Lives
07:04
|
|
||
He lived ten thousand years or so
And saw the souls around him grow
How he loved to see them smile
And how he loved their courage too
Many lives had made him shine
Their suffering would make him cry
He overcame the trials he’d had
He’d been both good and bad
Two hundred lives
Two hundred lives
He scaled the windy mountains
And sailed the high seas
He roamed for years in the deserts,
Forests and fields of green
He sought the wisest men
Prayed to his ancestry
He took the high road
But his deeds were never seen
He felt his eyes were open wide
And saw the beauty of this world
He learned to look into their eyes
And discover their disguise
Two hundred lives
Two hundred lives
Sometimes he wonders why he went there
What good has it done?
Then he remembers all the love shared
And wonders if it’s just begun…
He scaled the windy mountains
And sailed the high seas
He roamed for years in deserts,
Forests and fields of green
He sought the wisest men
Prayed to his ancestry
He took the high road
But his deeds were never seen
He walked the melting ice sheets
Strode through The Killing Fields
He dived the deepest oceans
Saw the end of Mankind’s Shield
He fought through steaming jungles
Saw caves where crystals gleam
He rode the Rocinanté through time and galaxies

Lady Assumptions
05:44
|
|
||
We've known each other since we were at school
And I text you every now and then
You had a husband and I'm on my own
All very low-key and innocent
Now your jealous husband is out the door
The darker evenings are now closing in
I think you're feeling sad and lonely
Because you're suddenly e-mailing
I write my long and thoughtful answers
'Cos I like you and I feel that is right
The 'phone rings today - I see it's you
You want to come over tonight!
How can I gently tell you?
'Cos I respect you
But it's getting to the point where I can barely function
When I'm with you
Right there on cue
I'm getting warning signs of Lady Assumptions
Even with my man's mind
I know something's on the brew
Secretive lady...
What are you up to?
Anticipating what you're feeling
It's off my radar and it's killing me
I'm no good at this mind-reading
And I'm not hanging round to wait and see
I may misinterpret your intentions
I will not lose control of my life
You're not answering my questions, so listen:
I have no desire for a wife!
How can I gently tell you?
'Cos I respect you
But it's getting to the point where I can barely function
When I'm with you
Right there on cue
I'm getting warning signs of Lady Assumptions
How can I gently tell you?
'Cos I respect you
But it's getting to the point where I can barely function
When I'm with you
Right there on cue
I'm getting warning signs of Lady Assumptions

Crime Movie
02:54
|
|
||
Gene Hackman's on a train
The Frenchman slips away
McQueen looks cool today
And so does De Niro
Cruising through L.A.
A robbery's taken place
The Driver got away
O'Neill is a hero
Crime movie, yeah
New York City subway is attacked
Pelham 123 ain't on track
These guys are rotten to the core
How to break the law, with Robert Shaw
Infiltrate the mob's no easy job
But Johnny Depp wants a shot at it
Getting slapped and getting whacked: Forget aboudit!

Not Alone
04:07
|
|
||
You soar above the physical
Like a bird on the wing
Your mind is left behind
With its nattering
No one's left behind
No one's left behind
No one's left behind
No one is alone
Vivid colours in your homescape
Shimmering
You're not quite able to touch...
But it's close enough
No one's left behind
No one's left behind
No one's left behind
No one is alone
Welcome home
