Текст песни:

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn′t play for the money he wins
He doesn′t play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that′s not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that′s not the shape of my heart

And if I told you that I loved you
You′d maybe think there′s something wrong
I′m not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that′s not the shape of my heart

Текст песни:

Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there′s longing
This girl′s an open page
Book marking She′s so close now
This girl is half his age

Don′t stand to close to me

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it′s not so easy
To be the teacher′s pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, whe′s waiting
His car is warm and dry

Don′t stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
It′s no use
He sees her
He starts to shake he starts to cough
Just like the old man in
That famous book by Nabakov

Don′t stand so close to me

Текст песни:

Just the kind of lady to really set you sailing
On emotion′s ocean
Just like a river she′s rolling on forever
Got you running around now you′ve found
She turns the tide of your tired heart
Back to the place where you made a start
She′s got the power to burn you up
But she′s turning, turning your golden heart

Lady, lady of delight
Lady, lady of the night

Don′t stand in the gutter boy, mumble and mutter
That the world ain′t treating you right
I′m talking to you - I can prove it too -
You′d better listen to me - I′ve got a guarantee
Now who told you life was meant to be
Happiness, Light, Love and Free
What made you think you had a right?
You′re just a frightened child in the middle of the night

Lady, lady of delight
Lady, lady of the night

Wild dogs baying at the moon
Alley cats singing out of tune
Hoot of owls across the lake -
These are sounds that follow her wake

Don′t think you can change her -
I know she′ll rearrange you
You might disagree but just you wait and see
You think you′re winning but look at the state you′re in
Danger - stranger:
Some call her goddess some call her a whore
But she′s a sister - a lover - a mother and more
She keeps on coming - she makes it clear
That if you let her in you′ve got nothing to fear

Lady, lady of delight
Lady, lady of the night

Текст песни:

It′s all a game
You′re not the same
Your famous name
The price of fame

O no -- try to liberate me
I said o no -- stay and irritate me
I said o no -- try to elevate me
I said o no -- just a fallen hero

Don′t wanna hear about the drugs you′re taking
Don′t wanna read about the love you′re making
Don′t wanna hear about the life you′re faking
Don′t wanna read about the muck they′re raking

You sang your song
For much too long
The songs they′re wrong
The bread has gone

O no -- try to liberate me
I said o no -- stay and irritate me
I said o no -- try to elevate me
I said o no -- just a fallen hero

Don′t wanna hear about the drugs you′re taking
Don′t wanna read about the love you′re making
Don′t wanna hear about the life you′re faking
Don′t wanna read about the muck they′re raking

It′s all a game
You′re not the same
Your famous name
The price of fame

O no -- try to liberate me
I said o no -- stay and irritate me
I said o no -- try to elevate me
I said o no -- just a fallen hero

Don′t wanna find out what you′ve been taking
Don′t wanna read about the love you′re making
Don′t wanna hear about the life you′re faking
Don′t wanna read about the muck they′re raking

Peanuts, peanuts

Текст песни:

Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold

Take a look at my new toy
It′ll blow your head in two, o boy
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone

I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don′t want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in life is death

Take a look at my new toy
It′ll blow your head in two, o boy
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone

Where you want to be
Won′t you ever see

Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Now

Текст песни:

Ain′t no sunshine when she′s gone.
It′s not warm when she′s away.
Ain′t no sunshine when she′s gone
And she′s always gone too long anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she′s gone,
Wonder if she′s gone to stay
Ain′t no sunshine when she′s gone
And this house just ain′t no home anytime she goes away.

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain′t no sunshine when she′s gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain′t no sunshine when she′s gone,
And this house just ain′t no home anytime she goes away.

Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

Текст песни:

How can you say that you′re not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction, what should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity

Driven to tears

Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existance is reduced to a shallow meaningless party
Seems that when some innocent die
All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food
′Cos this is what we′ve seen

Driven to tears

Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through
What′s to become of our world, who knows what to do

Driven to tears

Текст песни:

Fatal fascination for the seedy part of town
Walk down the street and your head spins round
Don′t be seen alone without your friends at night
Take a gun or a knife to the low life

Don′t have to be born into this society
Pay for love but the hate comes free
Bring enough money for the rest of your life
Don′t bring your wife to the low life

Bringing us there to the degradation
Always keep your back to the wall
No rewards for your infatuation
Low life
No life at all
Yeah, low life, low life

In here to long to be afraid anymore
You can′t reach the bed so you sleep on the floor
You get so stoned you think you could fly
But you won′t get high on the low life

Low life....

Текст песни:

Recapture the thrill
of yesterday...
No, you never will,
try as you may...

You′re passing by a race and just by chance you happen to drop in for a moment
or two...Yeah
You know the kind of thing,′cause every now and then you must have had it happen
to you...Yeah
When just by coincidence,
things at the time
know you′ll find
You meet a girl and fall in love
Chase a wife
You dance the night away...
The girl begs you,
Please, please, please stay.
Never try to

recapture the thrill
of yesterday...
No, you never will,
try as you may...

With the passing time,the memory in your mind will give a false sense of
elation...
You wish to go but know you must return and finally yield to
temptation...
When you arrive,
you can′t believe
but for the name,
the place is the same
The floor is empty
and the whole mood has changed
You spend the night alone...
Sadly, you make your way home
But everybody tries to

recapture the thrill
of yesterday...
Yesterday
No, they never will,
try as they may

You see them walking ′round, their heads are hanging down,their sad faces show
disillusion...
The things they knew before are not here anymore; they can′t understand their
confusion...
The pity fools
who never learn
they just don′t belong
They still...hold on
The day of spender is a nostalgic song
opening a final dream
Nothing but time in between
Forever trying to

recapture the thrill
of yesterday...
Oh, why don′t they understand?
No, they never will,
try as they may
You′ve got to hear me, people
It′s too late
Recapture the thrill
You found uncertainty

Текст песни:

Gazed into the visions of the night
Seen the darkness fall
I′ve heard a mountain fall away from sight
Heard the thunder call

Seen the beast I call my father
Creature of the night
I feel the creeping darkness close
That electric light

They say the meek shall inherit the earth
How long will you keep it?
They sow a harvest but what′s it worth?
There′s no one left to reap it

@ The Police

Текст песни:

As their wings go dark - up against the sun
and their shadows pass - over everyone
and time unfolds - to a beating drum

I throw my clothes on a burning chair
I paint my eyes with the cold night air
the dreamer shouts - to an empty room

and the sun will shine
and the rain will pour
we radiate for evermore
and the world will turn

falling rain
in the end
there′s a silence

and the TV set doesn′t show the fall
the light is fast the world is small
and in the end there′s a silence

and the sun will shine
and the rain will pour
we radiate for evermore
and the world will turn

Текст песни:

Laser licks the lighting love
And a phaser flicks in a phaser flood
And you see my love - starting to see love
How can you be my love -
Found in a phaser love?

With a magical motion we dance in a dream
Happy to be

Electron Romance
Magnetic mating dance

You′ve got me floating - you′ve got me floating along
Got me hoping - really got me towing a line
You′ve got me hopping - really got me singing a song
You′ve got me hopping - got me bopping
I won′t [be] stopping till you go

Humming like a dynamo
Baby you′re a dynamo
See it on the video
Everything you want to know
Well you don′t need to fear no leader
You don′t need it now
Because we′re all part - a fantastic heart
Of a great big you somehow
When you′ve got love the stars
Above all shine for you right now

With a magical motion we dance in a dream
Happy to be
Happy to be
Laser licks like lighting love
And a phaser flicks in a phaser flood
And you see my love
How can you be me love -
Found in a phaser flood?

With a magical motion we dance in a dream
Happy to be

Electricity!

Текст песни:

I′d invite you back to my place
It′s only mine because it holds my suitcase
It looks home to me alright
But it′s a hundred miles from yesterday night

Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger′s face

Another key for my collection
For security I race for my connection
Bird in a flying cage you′ll never get to know me well
The world′s my oyster a hotel room′s a prison cell

Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger′s face

I′d invite you back to my place
It′s only mine because it hold my suitcase
It looks like home to me alright
But it′s a hundred miles from yesterday night

Текст песни:

He goes out at night with his big boots on
None of his friends know right from wrong
They kick a boy to death ′cos he don′t belong
You′ve got to humanise yourself

A policeman put on his uniform
He′d like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You′ve got to humanise yourself

Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself

I work all day at the factory
I′m building a machine that′s not for me
There must be a reason that I can′t see
You′ve got to humanise yourself

Billy′s joined the National Front
He always was a little runt
He′s got his hand in the air with the other cunts
You′ve got to humanise yourself

Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself

I work all day at the factory
I′m building a machine that′s not for me
There must be a reason that I can′t see
You′ve got to humanise yourself

A policeman put on his uniform
He′d like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You′ve got to humanise yourself

Re-humanise yourself...

Текст песни:

Fifty million years ago
You walked upon the planet so,
Lord of all that you could see
Just a little bit like me

Walking in your footsteps

Hey Mr. Dinosaur
You really couldn′t ask for more
You were God′s favourite creature
But you didn′t have a future

Walking in your footsteps

Hey mighty brontosaurus
Don′t you have a lesson for us
You thought your rule would always last
There were no lessons in your past
You were built three stories high
They say you would not hurt a fly
If we explode the atom bomb
Would they say that we were dumb?

Walking in your footsteps

Fifty million years ago
They walked upon the planet so
They live in a museum
It′s the only place you′ll see um.

Walking in your footsteps....

They say the meek shall inherit the earth....

Walking in your footsteps....

Текст песни:

When you reach number ten
And think the struggle ends
But it ain′t the end
It′s only a trend

You have to unbend
′Cause it′s only a trend
Don′t lose all your friends
Don′t make heroes end

When you reach number eight it ain′t no pearly gate
′Cause it won′t satiate your growing appetite
You can ply your trade and push your crusade
Emancipate or indoctrinate, but the
Traps are all laid for and honest crusade
Your old values will fade as you struggle to make the grade
As you struggle to make the grade
(As you struggle to make the grade)
(You needn′t bother)

When you hit number four you′re almost through the door
But there′s a whole lot more you just can′t ignore
The telephone′s sure, you know the score
But don′t let this uproar dissipate your encore
It′s written in the news how you paid your dues
But you′ve no excuse for the people you abuse

When you reach number one you can beat your drum
You can sack your roadies in Birmingham
When your record is platinum, you can stick it to the bath,
To the wall like you′ve always planned
It′s written in the news how you paid your dues
But you′ve no excuse for the people you abuse
