1.FANTASTIC VOYAGE

In the event that this fantastic voyage
Should turn to erosion and we never get old
Remember it’s true, dignity is valuable
But our lives is valuable too
We ‘re learning to live with somebody’s depression
And I don’t want to live with somebody’s depression
We’ll get by, I suppose
It’s a very modern world, but nobody is perfect
It ‘s a modern world, but that’s no reason
To shoot some of those missiles
Think of us as fatherless scum
It won’t be forgotten
Cause we’ll never say something nice again, will we?
And the wrong words makes you listen in this criminal world
Remember it’s true a loyalty is valuable
But our lives are valuable too
We’re learning to live with somebody’s depression
And I don’t want to live with somebody’s depression
We’ll get by I suppose
But my sudden movement and I’ve got to write it down
They wipe out an entire race and I’ve got to write it down
But I’m still getting educated but I’ve got to write it down
And it won’t be forgotten
Cause I’ll never say anything nice again, how can I?

2.AFRICAN NIGHT FLIGHT

African nightmare one-time Mormon
More men fall in Hullabaloo men
I slide to the nearest bar
Undermine chairman
I went too far
Bent on wind fall
Rent a sony
Wonder how the dollar went down
Gotta get a word to Elisabeth’s father
Hey ho, he wished me well
Seemed like another day I could fly
Into the eye of God on high
His burning eye will see me through
One of these days, one of these days
Gotta get a world through
One of these days
Asanti habari habari habari
Asanti habari habari habari
Getting in mood for a Mombassa night flight
Pushing my luck, gonna fly like a mad thing
Bare strip takeoff skimming over Rhino
Burn in slumber less than peace
Struggle with a child whose screaming dreaming
Drowned by the props all steely sunshine
Sick of you, sick of me
Lust for the free life
Quashed and maimed
Like a valuable loved one
Left unnamed
I could fly into the eye of God on high
Over the the bushland over the trees
Wise like Orangutan
That was me
His burning eyes will see me through
One of these days, one of these days
Gotta get a word through one of these days

3.MOVE ON

Sometimes I feel that I need to move on
So I pack a bag and move on
Well I might take a train or sail at dawn
Might take a girl
When I move on, when I move on
Somewhere, someone’s calling me
And when the chips are down
I’m just a travelling man
Maybe it’s just a trick of the mind
And somewhere there’s a morning sky bluer than her eyes
Somewhere there’s an ocean innocent and wild
Africa is sleepy people
Russia has its horsemen
Spent some nights in old Kyoto sleeping on the matted ground
Cyprus is my island
When the going’s rough
I would love to find you
Somewhere in a place like that
Somewhere someone is calling me
And when the chips are down I stumble like a blind man
Can’t forget you, can’t forget you
Feeling like a shadow, drifting like a leaf
I stumble like a blind man
Can’t forget you, can’t forget you

4.YASSASSIN (Turkish for: Long life)

Yassassin - I’m not a moody guy
Yassassin - I walk without a sound
Yassassin - Just a working man, no judge of men
Yassassin - But such a life I’ve never known
We came from the farmlands
To live in this city
We walked proud and lustfull
In this resonant world you want to fight
But I don’t want to leave or drift away
Yassassin - etc (chorus)
Look at this - no second glances
Look at this - no value of love
Look at this - just sun and steel
Look at this – then look at us
If there’s someone in charge
Then listen to me
Don’t say nothing’s wrong
Cause I ‘ve got a love and she’s afeared
You want to fight but I don’t want to leave
Or drift away
Yassassin – etc (chorus)

5.RED SAILS

Feel a bit roughed, feel a bit frightened
Nearly pin it down sometimes
Red sail action wake up in the wrong town
Boy, I really get around
Thunder ocean, thunder ocean
Red sails take me, make me sail along
Red sails and a mast so tall
Red sails, red sails
Do you remember we another person
Green and black and red and so scared
Graffiti on the wall keep us all in tune
Bringing us all back home
Red sails, thunder ocean
Red sails, sailor can’t dance like you
Red sail
Red sail action
Red sail some reaction
Action boy seen living under neon
Struggle with a foreign tongue
Red sail make him strong
Action make him sail along
Life stands still and stares
The hinterland, the hinterland
We’re gonna sail to the hinterland
And it’s far far far far far away

6.D.J.

I’m home, lost my job
And incurably ill
You think this is easy realism
I’ve got a girl out there, I suppose
I think she’s dancing
I feel like Dan Dare lies down
I think she’s dancing
What do I know?
I ‘m a DJ, I am what I play
Can’t turn around, no, can’t turn around
I’m a DJ, I am what I play
Can’t turn around, no, can’t turn around
I’m a DJ, I am what I play
I’ve got believers, believing me
One more weekend of lights and evening faces
Fast food living nostalgia
Humble pie and bitter fruit
I’m a DJ, I am what I play
Can’t turn around, no, can’t turn around
I’m a DJ, I am what I play
I’ve got believers, believing me
He used to be my boss
And now he is a puppet dancer
I’m a DJ, I’ve got believers

7.LOOK BACK IN ANGER

“You know who I am”, he said
The speaker was an angel:
He coughed and shook his crumpled wings,
Closed his eyes and moved his lips:
“It’s time, we should be going”
Waiting so long, I ‘ve been waiting so, waiting so
“Look back in anger, driving by the night,
Till you come”
“Look back in anger, feel it in my voice,
Till you come”
No one seemed to hear him
So he leafed through a magazine
And, yawning, rubbed the sleep away
And very sane he seemed to me
“Look back in anger, driving by the night,
Till you come”
“Look back in anger, feel it in my voice,
Till you come”

8.BOYS KEEP SWINGING

Heaven loves ya
The clouds part for ya
Nothing stands in your way
When you’re a boy
Clothes always fit ya
Life is a pop of the cherry
When you’re a boy
When you’re a boy
You can wear a uniform
When you’re a boy
Other boys check you out
You get a girl
These are your favorite things when you’re a boy
Boys, boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out
Uncage the colours
Unfurl the flag
Luck just kissed you hello
When you’re a boy
They’ll never clone ya
You’re always first on the line
When you’re a boy
You can buy a home of your own
When you’re a boy
Learn to drive and everything
You’ll get your share
When you’re a boy
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out

9.REPETITION

Johnny is a man
And he is bigger than you
But his overheads are high
And he looks straight through you
When you ask him how the kids are
He’ll get home around seven
Cause the chevy’s real old
And he could have had a Cadillac
If the school had taugh him right
And he could have married Anne
With the blue silk blouse
He could have married Anne
With the blue silk blouse
And the food is on the table
But the food is cold
“Can’t you even cook?
What’s the use of me working when you can’t damn cook?”
Well Johnny is a man
And he’s bigger than her
I guess the bruises won’t show
If she wears long sleeves
But the space is in her eyes shows through
And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse

10.RED MONEY

Can’t you feel it in the way
That a man is not a man?
Can’t you see it in the sky
That the landscape is too high?
Like a nervous disease
And it’s been there all along
It will tumble from the sky
And it’s been there all along
Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red money
Can hear it fall
Can hear it well
Can you hear it at all
Red money, red money, red money
Such responsibility
It’s up to you and me
