He walk upon the left side
While leaning to the right
Blinded by the bright light
Where grey is black and white - no sight
Clap hands for the media man
He always know what to say
Clap hands for the media man
But does he breathe when the bright lights fade away
Media man - he's a media man
He used to be an acts man
A weaver in the ring
He could have been a tax man
The way he did his thing - with strings
Clap hands for the media man
He always know when to smile
Clap hands for the media man
But watch him laugh when he's crying all the while
Media man - he's a media man
(instrumental break)
Clap hands for the media man
He always know where to be
Clap hands for the media man
But does he back off when he sees the things he see
Media man - he's a media man
Easy on the eyesight
Compere collar hair
Mass appealing tonsils
Poisoning the air - no fair
Clap hands for the media man
He always know what to do
Clap hands for the media man
But does he think when he has to read the news
Media man - that's right he's a media man
See him push, see him crawl
Watch him rise, watch him fall
The excuse says the parrot in the tree
It's what my public want to see
Media man - media man oh yeah
Clap hands for the media man
He always know when to lie
Clap hands for the media man
But will it add up with a penny on his eye
Media man - he's a media man
That's right
Media man - go through it
Media man - read the news
Media man - voice over
Media man - media man
Media man - compere collar
Media man - beeps
Media man - charming
Media man - media man
Media man - pancake
Media man - gleaming tick
Media man - good guy
Media man - media man
Media man - the profile
Media man - sincere
Media man - the wink
Media man - media man
Media man - the image
Media man - the format
Media man - idiot poor
Media man - media man
Media man - popularity
Media man - rating
Media man - bullshit
Media man - media man
Media man
Media man
Media man
Media man
HEADHUNTER
The party look familiar
A caith [case?] of déjà vu
Is this where it will happen
The connection of two
Conversation hopeful
The mind begin to soar
The answer is revealing
Try another door
How does it feel to be a head-hunter
Head-hunter, head-hunter
How does it feel to be a head-hunter
Head-hunter
Turning out the light
Head-hunter
Meaning through the night
Searching
Hoping
Coping
Meaning
Needing
Needing
Needing
Connection
The mind is filled with nature
In such exquisite pain
The howling of the night wind
The glory of the rain
The world is slowly fading
And majesty unfolds
Is this the final answer
The story told
How does it feel to be a head-hunter
Head-hunter, head-hunter
How does it feel to be a head-hunter
Head-hunter
Turning out the light
Head-hunter
You in the night
RESTLESS
Tossing
Turning
Breathless
Deathless
Restless
Wrong right
Long night
Breathless
Deathless
Restless
Batten down the shutters
Nailing down the window frames
Barricade the doors
There's gonna be a rain
Goodbye Mother Earth
She wasn't such a bad old girl
The storm is closing in
It's killing time again
The world'll never change
And in the East the sun is rising
Bad fools
Mad fools
Breathless
Deathless
Restless
The innocent - the guilty
The jury looking left and right
It doesn't really matter
The bottom line is pain
It's killing time again
Breathless
Deathless
Restless
WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSE
The flea sits on the eagle
The lion is on the floor
And over there
There's the bear
Ready and a willing for a kicking in the door
Welcome to the universe
Take your partner for the biggest show in town
Welcome to the universe
Better hurry 'cos there isn't too much time
Before the stars fall down
Welcome to the universe
The bear look over its shoulder
The monkey's on its back
Look out
Wolves about
The whole damn thing is just going to the pack
Welcome to the universe
Take your partner for the biggest show in town
Welcome to the universe
Better hurry 'cos there isn't too much time
To see the stars fall down
And the sun going out
And the world catch fire
And the mountains shaking all about
Welcome - everyone
Welcome - watch the fun
Welcome to the universe
"Roll up, roll up, get you tickets..."
Stars fell down
Sun's gone out
World's on fire
Sing and shout
"We don't seem to know what's happening here folks, it could be all over"
Welcome to the universe
Did you like it at the biggest show in town
Welcome to the universe
Save your money for a second time around
A second time around
To see the stars fall down
And the sun going out
And the world's on fire
And the mountains shaking all about
Welcome - everyone
Welcome - come on join the fun
Welcome - you know that you are
Welcome - everybody's
Welcome to the universe
Welcome to the universe
It's so sad you're on your own
You see everybody's gone
Welcome to the universe
Welcome to the universe
MAKE YOUR OWN CROSS
She come in many colours
Carbon copy girl
Face of painted virtue
A banner to unfurl
Solid social breeding
Aristocratic stock
Historical orator
With one eye on the clock
A gardener of theory
Harvester of facts
A sower of religion
Quick to use the axe
She drown herself in questions
Of static, past years
Is staggered by the answers
And blinded by the tears
And deaf in both her ears
Make your own cross
Make your own cross
Don't sit on someone else
Make your own cross
Make your own cross
She told him from her cell
Don't wait to be unburdened
Don't wait to hear the bell
Make your own cross
And make it to the other side of hell
She ride the social climate
And charge from left to right
A multitude of heroes
To guide her to the light
By mental acrobatics
And living inside out
She trailblaze to the doorway
In triumph and full shout
And always gets locked out
Make your own cross
Make your own cross
Don't sit on someone else
Make your own cross
Make your own cross
She told him from her cell
Don't wait to be unburdened
Don't wait to hear the bell
Make your own cross
And make it to the other side of hell
She makes her own cross and she
Hangs there for all the world to see
She makes her own cross as she
Locks up her mind and says I'm free
She cries out from her conscience
An everlasting scream
The weekend revolution
The winner by a dream
She drive herself on edges
And round the bend as well
But if lunacy's a factor
She'll make it to the other side of...
Make your own cross
Make your own cross
And whistle to the wind
Make your own cross
Make your own cross
The end where you begin
Make your own cross
Make your own cross
She told them all to give
Make your own cross
Make your own cross
Don't die
Before
You live
She makes her own cross and she
Hangs there for all her friends to see
She makes her own cross as she
Locks up her mind and says I'm free
She makes her own cross and she
Hangs there for all the world to see
She makes her own cross as she
Locks up her mind and says I'm free
LIGHTS IN THE NIGHT
Sitting in the kitchen
Coffee on the boil
Staring at the bacon
Goodbye olive oil
Think another feeling
Have another smoke
I've got money in my pocket
But I'm feeling broke
Try to read a paper
Try to read a book
Walk another circle
Hanging on a hook
Talking to the ceiling
Feeling kinda ill
If the radio doesn't get me
The TV will
Lights
Shiny bright
What's it like
In the light
Come down
Lights in the night
Come on down
Lights in the night
Standing by the window
Balance on the brink
Kiss another bottle
Sink another drink
Throw away the feeling
Throw away the pill
If the bottle doesn't get me
The thinking will
Lights
Shiny bright
What's it like
In the light
Come down
Lights in the night
It's easy to believe
Lights in the night
CAPTAIN BEWARE
Let the captain beware
There's a dog on his tail
Has a scent in the snout
And it howl and it wail
There's a mad in the eye
And a foam in the mouth
There's a kill in the wind
And it's coming up north
And heading down south
Once he used to be the dog's best friend
Fed him well, on him the dog depend
All was well as far as he could see
But now it's free
And it's down in history
Let the captain beware
Keep an eye on the sail
Keep a watch on the rail
There's a dog on his tail
Let him look to the light
Let him think it fair
Let him lean to the right
But let the captain beware
Let the captain beware
There's a snap at the heel
There's a dog on the prowl
With an eye for a meal
There's a cry at the moon
From the top of the hill
'Cos the bitch is about
And look out cappy
It's out for the kill
Once they used to live in harmony
Throwing dollars, fetching faithfully
East is East and how it used to be
But now it rage
'Cos it want to turn the page
Let the captain beware
Keep an eye on the sail
Keep a watch on the rail
There's a dog on his tail
Let him look to the light
Let him think it fair
Let him lean to the right
But let the captain beware
Let the captain beware
Keep an eye on the sail
Keep a watch on the rail
There's a dog on his tail
Let him look to the light
Let him think it fair
Let him lean to the right
But let the captain beware
Let the captain beware
Keep an eye on the sail
Keep a watch on the rail
'Cos there's a dog on his tail
Let him look to the light
Let him think it fair
Let him lean to the right
Let the captain beware
ATLANTIS CALLING
On behalf of unknown heroes
And the priest said to Solon
Solon, you Greeks are but children
In those days the Atlantic was navigable
And there was an island in front of the Pillars of Hercules
That sank in a single day and night of rain
In Bimini there's a temple that is rising from the sea
In Iberia the language of the Basques a mystery
The Tiahuanaco ruins, a secret closed to men
Canary Island legends, and don't forget Stonehenge
Atlantis calling
Atlantis calling
Atlantis calling
There's legends of the Flood with every race around the world
The waters of the same that keep Atlantis covered still
On both sides of the ocean there were many things alike
Pyramids, sarcophagi, the customs and the rites
Egyptians spoke about it to Greeks who did believe
Of echoes of disaster from ancient history
From the land beneath the sea
Atlantis calling
Atlantis calling
Atlantis calling
(instrumental break)
Atlantis calling - of deeds that go unsung
Atlantis calling - the time will surely come
The answer will be found
The mystery unwound
Origins explained
On behalf of unknown heroes
For heroes there must be
In any land that crumbles
And sinks beneath the sea
And if that land existed
Be it how or when or where
Then isn't the conclusion
That all roads lead to...
Atlantis calling
Atlantis calling
Atlantis calling
(Hear when they call)
Atlantis calling
(Hear when they call)
(repeat to end)
