For Future Reference Lyrics

Oh! 2025
I know a time called then
When we were only men
And to be alive
Just meant you hadn't died
Time can't erase
Heartbeats
Out of phase
And your empty eyes
Don't seem to want to realise

Oh! 2025
When we were still alive
Oh! 2025
When we were only simple men

And in the automat
!!! [sound effect]
And that was that
We didn't mess with time
Knock things out of line

Oh! 2025
When we were still alive
Oh! 2025
When we were only simple men

And in the dreamless night
I pulse
Out of sight
Am I the only man
No part of any plan

Before the age of clean
Before the power screen
Before the maser beam
Before my world was only me

Oh we were young and free
You can't alter me
So now you keep me here
Is this law
Or is it fear

Oh! 2025
When we were still alive
Oh! 2025
When we were only simple men


Human Sacrifice
Communication
Screaming telephones
Modern living
In the urban terror zone
Advertising
Neo-honesty
Office androids
Tell you how you ought to be

Human sacrifice

A savage emblem
A token of the times
The pen is mightier
Than any social crime
No blade of passion
In this suicidal game
Just felt-tip talons
Tearing at your name

Human sacrifice

Situations
Tribal genocide
Dark streets like open wounds
Where Malakovsky died
They're selling madness
To stimulate the sane
The media razor falls
On the writhing social vein

Human sacrifice


I Only Find Rewind
Days
Fading into years
Ticking off the time
Clocking up the fears
Every time
I try to find
The button labeled play
I only find rewind
I only find rewind

Sighs
That echo in the night
The darkness in your mind
That's searching for a light
Even now
When life is so unkind
I never lose control
I only find rewind
I only find rewind

It's the same every day
Life is slipping away
Rewinding - Rewinding again

Frames
Exposures in the night
A 2D memory
A subtle parasite
Deja vu
A thin dividing line
I never see the door
I only find rewind
I only find rewind

It's the same every day
Life is slipping away
Rewinding - Rewinding again



No-one Lives Forever
The radiation age
Immortality

No-one lives forever
But I though life was ending far too soon
No-one lives forever
That's why I'm alive in my cocoon

Arise the thin-ice boys
H.P. energy

No-one lives forever
But I though life was ending far too soon
No-one lives forever
That's why I'm alive in my cocoon

Spare part surgery
False security

No-one lives forever
But I though life was ending far too soon
No-one lives forever
That's why I'm alive in my cocoon

The sounds of thinking metal
We used to call him mother wouldn't you
No-one lives forever
There's no more room for you in my cocoon



Love Needs No Disguise
She dances
He watches
She sighs
Remember
Love needs no disguise

In motion
That cannot deny
She's saying
Love needs no disguise

And if the park gates are closed
Remember we toured the skies
And if the 'friends' all go home
You know love needs no disguise

He dances
And we realized
Remember
Love needs no disguise

In simple embraces
They lie
In darkness
Love needs no disguise

And we can lock all the doors
Forget the reasons and fame
There's no deceiving inside
You know we'll all be the same

And if the park gates are closed
Remember we toured the skies
And if the 'friends' all go home
You know love needs no disguise



Turn
Watch you waiting on my life now
Turn turn
I couldn't give a damn
See my smile upon your face now
Turn turn
You couldn't keep your eyes off me
He only wants you for an evening
Turn turn
I'll take you for my own
Can't you see through his deceiving
Turn turn
Don't let him take you home tonight

Which direction can you take for to
Turn turn
Will surely bring you here
Watch my perfect silhouette oh
Turn turn
Another cigarette or two
You call that company aroudn you
Turn turn
They couldn't give a damn
I see the sadness in her eyes now
Turn turn
She looks a lot like me



Take Me Home
Take me home
Take me home



On Reflection
And on reflection
I thought I knew you
But as they all say
You always lose
You find the right face
In every street cafe
I though I knew the score
But I was wrong again

And when old friends
All seem ex-directory
And when friendship
Seems harder to dial
Then sometimes
Like a 'B' movie ending
I see life
As a series of old cliches

She had the perfect smile
Oh I can see her now
In every movie ad
And every back street bar
I was enchanted
In every single way
She kept the key but she
Didn't want to stay

Do you remember
When we were oh so young
We saw no end to time
Our love could never die
Now I'm an old man
Too old for crazy games
But I'll still dream of you
Until your image fades


Ex Luna Scientia
N.A.S.A.

Ex luna scientia

Ebon arc afire
Grey moon below
Deepening the shadowed earthly glow
Exploration for the sake of man
Carving knowledge
From this ancient land

N.A.S.A.

Ex luna scientia

Questing eyes surveying ethers' orb
Lovers seeking knowledge in the night
Whispering the lunar tides of dawn
Answering in irridescent light
