Underground 04:47
Open your eyes; open your eyes You’re driving me underground Let in the light; why don’t you let in the light Tear all the curtains down tonight You’re driving me out; you drive me away You’re wanting me so far gone; you want me to stay There’s nowhere to go; and there’s nothing to say You’re driving me underground; you drive me insane You drive me down, down underground You’re driving me underground, driving me down I’m losing the sky; you know I’m losing the sky I’m taking the shutters down tonight You’re driving me out; you drive me away You’re wanting me – so – far - gone; you want me to stay If these are the nights; and if these are the days Why do we hang around; why do we stay I’m down in a hole, nobody knows Nobody comes around, nobody goes Somebody open a window, somebody let in some air Then maybe tomorrow I’ll still be here But you’re driving me out…… You know you’re driving me under You drive me into the ground Why don’t we tear up the curtains? Take the shutters down Take the shutters down

Lightshow 03:45
All those generations of hiding away Of being thankful and knowing your place Among the shadows a spirit is raised Spirit is raised He’s gotta light gonna turn it on Turn it on you now Cos he’s a light show Yeah he’s a light show giving it out All those generations of living so low Of saying nothing and nothing to show Among the shadows a spirit it glows Spirit it glows Turn it on you now There’s something in the shadows The darkest of days, a day of sorrow Of sorrow and pain, but he’s tomorrow He isn’t afraid, isn’t afraid Turn it on you now Turn it on cos he’s a light show

Well I find myself outside In a place without your time, without any time And the darkest days go by And you’re eating me alive, and I don’t know why I don’t understand, I’m starting to fray I’m waving my hands is that OK What do you say? I’m out in the cold; I’m out of the light I want it to end is that alright What do you say? So these acid rainfall tears Gonna sting my face for years, for so many years Like a lost and lonely child Well I take myself inside and I wonder why I don’t understand, I’m starting to fray I’m waving my hands is that OK What do you say? I wanted the car, I wanted to drive I wanted to crash right through your life What do you say? And I’m not for turning, and I’m not for turning I don’t understand, I’m starting to fray I’m waving my hands is that OK What do you say? I want it to feel; I want it alive I want it to be is that alright What do you say? And I want it today, what do you say? And I’m not for turning, and I’m not for hanging round

If you deal in destruction and powers your game You forfeit the many the few to be saved If you listen to no-one cos there’s no-one to trust The company you’re keeping well it just went bust If you’re telling me that’s the way you do it That’s the way you do it, ride on If you think that young people Can’t be bothered to care Don’t you know that you’re missing all the points? And I swear, oh and I swear If you’re telling me that’s the way you do it That’s the way you do it, ride on x3 If you offer protection from all this radical zeal Then you give them tanks and guns To do the deal well just get real If you’re telling me that’s the way you do it That’s the way you do it, ride on Why don’t you deal in salvation? Why don’t you start a new game? And make certain everyone has their say But until that day If you’re telling me that’s the way you do it That’s the way you do it, ride on x3 Ride on

I’m halfway living and I’m halfway dead I’m headed somewhere well I hope its bed Mouth is drier than a midday sun I been hoping that these days were done Cos I been fighting for a long, long time Eyelids hanging in a slack jaw line Sticky thinking and a rubber tongue I been hoping that these fighting days were done So don’t you hide, don’t you fold up like a butterfly Take the pain and don’t ask why Why oh why I’m talking me and my invisible Me and my invisible boxer Ring that bell I can’t take this punishment no more I’m halfway living and I’m halfway dead My head in heaven and my feet in lead Another marathon I have to run I been hoping that these days were done Cos I been fighting for a long, long time Taking morphine in a dry white wine I’m hanging in there now whatever comes I been hoping that these fighting days were done So don’t you cry, see me grinning in my linen shrine Take the pain and don’t ask why Why oh why
6.
Well I was hoping once it all came through That you’d be honey with me, I’d be sweet with you Times would follow when the dogs would lie And you would talk to me and help me see Some kind of guiding light Alright, I believe in, alright, I believe in I believe in resolution day Well I was thinking once the deal was made That I would finally get my resolution day But you’re still standing right behind that gun You got the one good thing that all this brings And took it on the run Alright……etc Well I was hoping once it all came through That you’d be honey with me I’d be sweet with you But you’re still dancing on my early grave You say that ‘one good deed don’t set you free Don’t serve to get you saved’ Alright……etc Resolution day So give me my, my peace of mind Don’t let it end this way

Electricity 02:26
It’s on the radio in the sky It’s all the people I love I see you coming I feel alright Come on and power me up Electrify me Electricity It’s on the journey it’s here at home It’s all the places I love Its altogether it’s all alone Come on and power me up Electrify me Electricity I wanna rush like a lightning strike Wanna buzz like a neon light Wanna moment I can seize I wanna be electricity Electrify me Come on and power me up Electricity

Long Shot 03:52
I’m a solid man, I never did let go It’s not for want of trying but I, I never had to blow And I say no, no, no, no I never had no chance to blow I’m a simple man, I never did leave home It’s not for want of trying but I, I never had to go And I say no, no, no, no I never had no need to go But then you came by with those dreamy eyes And that natural smile, oh my oh my Everybody’s telling me it’s one in a million Everybody say’s it’s a long shot but I don’t care Everything is fine, I kinda get along I could’a looked for trouble but I, I never did no wrong And I said no, no, no, no I never did nobody wrong Cos I’m a solid man, I kinda let it be I could’a chased the future but I, I never found a dream And I said no, no, no, no I never found myself a dream But then you came by with those dreamy eyes And that casual style, oh my, oh my Everybody’s telling me it’s one in a million Everybody say’s it’s a long shot but I don’t care

My Release 04:34
You see this is my release It aint no good you put me down I’m gonna get me free Can’t you see it’s my one relief It’s my consolation, this is my release The hubbub of a working week It’s taking it out on me I took the oath but now I need Exemption, exemption You see this is my release…..etc The chatter of a sober mind It’s making my mouth run dry I took the oath but need to find Medicine, medicine Cos it’s a fragile time; it’s a fragile love So make up your mind You see this is my release…..etc Don’t curse the darkness don’t try and see This is my release My, my release This is my release
