BRING THE FEAR ON I wrote my name across your face I wrote my songs in this dark place now there's no problem there's no fear we've got to move far away from here I never felt like we could change but something strange got in your vein there's no problem any more it's just like love that's gone before oh no, this is no place for us out of space for us out of time for us out of reach for us bring the fear on, bring it nearer I can't hear you any clearer.

POWER FAILURE I am a power failure, I am a perfect stranger I am in moral danger, I am a crashed computer I am a wayward shooter, I am a broken speaker I am a hide and seeker, I hide behind your curtain I am a splitting atom, feel my heart of darkness somtimes you just can't fathom it's not my soul your kissing, 45 components missing growing up and turning random, tuning out all hope abandoned something in reaction is changing every reason and trashing up my feelings silver chain reactions pull me to the ceiling I sometimes say the weirdest things I've got to get the drug now that will help me, somehow, lose the feeling in my bones I'm the only telephone and I'm a lonely telephone, asleep and packed in styrofoam why don't you take the time to come and reconnect me to the sun alleluia, praise god, euphoria it comes from ecstasy, it may come from L.S.D. and there is all the help I need I'd ask my ego to hang on, I could be a stargazer but I'm just a power failure.

Radars and Crossed Wires © Anthony Holgate 2007 Chase the shiny pretty things, their fake tans run, in the sun. And string me out and turn me around. Your wireless candykisses, hit and miss. We almost did collide head on! You’re gorgeous, contagious and I have lost the will [to fight it anymore]. It’s easy, just dive in to juniper seas. You could be the one to wake up this fire; you must be the one to stir this desire. Yeah! Rewind, replay the scene; the one where we are UandME. Where we R UandME. Watch the tv flicker, change the channel [click], we’re i2i. Girls on boys and boys on girls we are remote satellites, in radars and crossed wires our bodies WILL collide [and confide]. We swim, we FUCK in this channel of violent desire. My little alien, you’re a SENSATION, help is on the way; my little alien you’re an ADDICTION; ‘Bright Lights’ in the way. This generation? ALIENATION, takes its medicine. It’s YOU, tuning in. It’s you, tuning out….

Illusion 05:09
Illusion © Jehanne Saaidah 2009 I couldn’t be more confused if I tried So much desire, so much need I’m standing on a middle ground Waiting for you to meet me I feel so weak, you look so strong I long for you to hold me close I ache, I am not whole I want to hear you laugh and cry I’m spinning around In a mindful of dreams I fall to the ground I’m comin apart at the seams I listen to the rumours and feel foolish But I can’ seem to walk away I’m held by an invisible cord That neither you or I will stop and cut So many questions, they will never be answered So many things left unsaid I never told you that I miss you I never told you that I love you I’m spinning around In a mindful of dreams I fall to the ground I’m comin apart at the seams … My illusions are all shattered My mind is full of stutters I feel naked and empty I am all but just a child

ELECTRIC WAVE and we're going on up, gonna mess it all up gonna paint the world another colour tonight and we're going on up, gonna burn it bright gonna see the world under a laser light electric waves of cathode rain electric waves of cathode rain and we're going on up, gonna set it all up and we could feel the love in this place tonight we are coming on up, you should've waved goodbye reach into forever tonight turn on your neon love light turn on your neon love light gonna push it all up, gonna push it too high gonna drop the angels deep into your eyes there are no more walls between you and I so many suns rising in your sky electric waves of cathode rain electric waves of cathode rain in the rain rain rain refrain delays are coming again and again in waves we ignite the symmetry, explode the energy turned on by radio turn on your neon love light turn on your neon love light out of the fire and into the euphoric out of the fire and into the euphoric after the chemical wave you gotta come down just a little way and see things as they really are but do it in your own way now don't you see don't you see the love in my eyes dancing until the dawn is just a beginning and nobody understands just where this will end euphoria comes in flash and is gone in a moment so take it while it lasts and hold on to that feeling and didn't you feel didn't you feel the love in our eyes now I could love you I could love you forever.

THIN VENEER OF JOY Sleep in fits and bursts of light, voices talking in the night Cracks appear in the sun and then the darkness comes Levitation elevation seeking skylights to escape Dreams begin when I awake Some are dark enough to break Love is all I really want when it comes I cannot see when it goes I'm lost at sea It's a thin veneer of joy, we walk on every day.

Take Another Hit Such a cynic in your slow burn tonight You don’t have to like but can’t deny its might Don’t slow down or else you won’t take flight Just take the pill you know it won’t bite You have to use and abuse to know what you might like And then you take some more to explore just a little bit more And if you can’t sit still then you go and knock on the door Cause the space behind it, ooooh it’s gonna make you sore So this is my lesson and you are my curse, I won’t give in to temptation and I won’t have your thirst Then you start to forget who you really are Your morals go weak and you can’t even drive the car You start to wonder how come you’ve gone so very far In breaking things around you leaving scars It seemed such a good idea to take another hit It’ll put you right back to being on your feet Self-control is the pulse that your finger can’t meet So you close your eyes and saviour the last little bit. So this is my lesson and you are my curse I won’t give in to temptation and I won’t have your thirst This is my confession baby, denial is SO rehearsed. I won’t give in to temptation and I won’t have your thirst

TIED TO A RANDOM EVENT Hopeless beyond control illumination falls like an angel drops of water through your soul a paintbox in a black hole they're not really as black as we've been told concentric discs of light keep turning around in my life born in an accident black spot best wishes from a lifetime of near misses and from the pool of my digital wishing well I got a message, got a message that god sent... telling me don't speak too soon, don't live too old, don't die too young, don't come undone and then each day just came and went and then each day just came and went time slipped in and out of tense while we were tied to a random event.

All in Your Head You flick the switch, to turn me on, but I am not your light bulb. You turn the key, to lock the door, but you cannot lock me away. You stretch your fingers, into your gloves, but I am not precious …. You forget, you can’t handle me, ‘cause I am far too dangerous Woahhhhh woahhhhh ‘Cause you live in a place where the world is flat and you know it (know it know it) And you live in a world that is all in your head and you know it (know it know it) And you think it is safe ‘cause you’re in control no (no no) But you think and you feel and you believe – who am I to tell you wrong? Who am I to tell you wrong …? Hidden thoughts and distressed notes, cannot hide your competence, Your deep blue eyes, no your big grey eyes, who are you to me these days? Put on your face and dress the place, for this is your big moment … I’ll keep the key, I’ll walk away, I promise not to hurt your world. Woahhhh woahhhhh ‘Cause you live in a place where the world is flat and you know it (know it know it) And you live in a world that is all in your head and you know it (know it know it) And you think it is safe ‘cause you’re in control no (no no) But you think and you feel and you believe – who am I to tell you wrong? Who am I to tell you wrong? Who am I to tell you wrong? Who am I to tell you wrong? Be still your mind, deceive these thoughts (who am I to tell you wrong) ‘Cause you live in a place where the world is flat and you know it (know it know it) And you live in a world that is all in your head and you know it (know it know it) And you think it is safe ‘cause you’re in control no (no no) ‘Cause you live in a place where the world is flat and you know it (know it know it) And you live in a world that is all in your head and you know it (know it know it) And you think it is safe ‘cause you’re in control no (no no) But you think and you feel and you believe – who am I to tell you wrong? Who am I to tell you wrong?

REWIND THE CAMERA If you can find a place to start then you can tear my walls apart, melting magnets in the dark and separation in our hearts, atom burning 'cross the sky, rumours crying in the wind left me feeling like a child and all that matters in the end rewind the camera to the starting gun rewind the camera to the starting gun how can you believe my pretty lies when I deceive you every night a touch of madness in the sky, a touch of silver in my eyes see me drinking iodine traces shown on x-ray screens through all this time I could not feel what was fake and what was real rewind the camera to the starting gun rewind the camera to the starting gun and when the shutter falls you are frozen in a moment something you can never change the feeling that you lost someone rewind the camera to the starting gun rewind the camera to the starting gun

Hypnotise 04:58
Hypnotise You hypnotise me Can’t you see? Your voice, your soul, your feel You make me smile, you make me heal Take comfort in my zone Take comfort in the tone Slip your mind away And let the stars make you stray You hypnotise me Can’t you see? No more loneliness All the more happiness Don’t let go We’ll take it slow Fold yourself into my high No more searching of the skies You hypnotise me Can’t you see? I’ll make you dream I’ll make you scream We’ll run away To return another day You hypnotise me What more can I say

Fix a Gun 05:27
FIX A GUN When I call you up again will you shoot me down, shoot me up, fix a gun, your tricks are fun, but to pick me up again I need one better in this box of electric shocks is where people come together you still believe in paradise used to believe in northern lights you still believe in immaculate conception protection keeps nothing from the soul crash into the noise and turn me on plastic crash into the noise and turn me on I am the corrupter and one corrupted preacher and perverted teacher not converted computer of numerical love affairs in twelve bar so wired I'm tired of all this stuff count to ten, tell me when you think I've had enough sex - without breeding love - with no feeling don't follow your heart, don't follow your head where is my God, I'm so far gone, she said you can say to me anything at all protection keeps nothing from the soul.
