Telly Song - Steffe Lewry

The telly's out or order 
And we are getting boreder 
Making it without 
The lord of control 
Why hold me like you do 
X-ray me till I'm blue 
Do you not know 
What you do to me 
What you do to me 

I need a fix of vision 
It's my intimate decision 
To live inside the fodder 
Of electrical transmission 
And when the late show ends 
And I really need a friend 
Where are you? 
Where are you? 

I'm too sad to live inside the ten o'clock news 
Too old to build a castle in the air 
But mad enough to know whats there 
In the heads of politicans 

Whatever your system 
Whatever your knowledge 
Whatever your state of mind 

Whatever the government says 
Whatever the teacher says 
Whatever the police state tells you 

There is; 
No way No way No way 
No way No way No way 
No way No way No way 
You can believe, it won't change a thing

Jacques Cousteau Loves Anchovies

You get high with things you find at the bottom of the sea 
You've got spacemen lifting off and loing gravity 
Nothing wrong with using all your flash technology 
Having raps with dolphins while you mange anchovies 

T.V. wipes your brains out like the fishes in the sea 
Radioactive sea monsters all grin at you and me 
Watch out! Watch out! there's a monster about 
wraps you up and p'haps you'd better watch out for your soul 

Think we'll ever work it out or have we blown the time? 
My friend saysa spaceman's gonna sort him out just fine 
Meanwhile if you're waiting just make sure your heart don't freeze 
And Jacques Cousteau will tell you that he loves those anchovies. 

Fantasy Shift

Smiling in the sunshine... 
Drinking in the moonshine... 
Riding silver life lines... 
Flying in your own mind... 

But there is truth in the middle of your fantasy 
Can you do what you say, can I be what you dream 
One quick shift, and we're caught in between 
You could be me, I could be you 

Planning for the future 
Fashion seems to suit you 
With a mood thats soft and mellow 
And so much more will follow 

But there is truth in the middle of your fantasy 
Can you do what you say, can I be what you dream 
One quick shift, and we're caught in between 
You could be me, I could be you 

You're taking your advantage 
But don't take me for granted 
If I go for simple pleasure 
It's more than you can measure 

The Mega Number

If you fell in love - Would your friends all think you stupid 
If you fell in love - Would they think you such a fool 
If you fell in love - Would they set you up as cupid 
If you fell in love - Would they say you'd lost your cool 

Maybe but...Don't be afraid to love 
 Afraid to love 
 Don't be afraid to love 
 Afraid to love 
 Don't be afraid to love 
 Afraid to love 

If you fell in love - Do you think you'd drink less beer 
If you fell in love - You could overcome your fears 
If you fell in love - Would they think you're such a bore 
If you fell in love - Could you stop the third world war 

Maybe but...That's a stranger love 
 A stranger love 
 That's a stranger love 
 A stranger love 
 That's a stranger love 
 A stranger love 
 That's a stranger love 
 A stranger love 

Your head is full of thoughts but how many are yours 
Running through your life and feeling so alone 
Dashing into work got to be there on the dot 
Don't make your mind take your order from the top 
Then you read the papers fill you up with lies 
Now you don't know if you're dead or alive 
"All I need is one break to get me out of here" 
Why not face the facts, its gonna last for years and years 

Cos he never stops 
He likes it too much 
He's an easy touch 
For that emotional crutch 
You like it too much 
You're an easy touch 
For that emotional crutch 

Somestimes I get scared of being so alone 
Wish I'd never dared to roll away such a stone 
Losing my direction don't know up from down 
Be my one connection, would you stay with me 
Sometimes I get the feeling I ought to pack it up 
If you caught me kneeling would you think I was craking up 
Sometimes I get drunk, take away the pain 
Come on like the devil, would you still love me? 

Cos I never stop 
I like it too much 
I'm an easy touch 
For that emotional crutch 
You like it too much 
You're an easy touch 
For that emotional crutch...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 

So Glad You're Here

Things were looking pretty black 
No going forward, no turning back 
I couldn't see why this was happening to me 
But then you turned around and smiled at me, and I'm... 

So glad you're here 
So glad you're here 

I don't really expect you to stay with me 
I really want to see you floating free 
But there are times when I need your touch 
I gotta tell you that I love you so much, and I'm... 

So glad you're here 
So glad you're here 

Secrets

There are no secrets, you either know it or you don't 
Its right in front of your noses, you believe it or you don't 
Follow your instincts, if that's what you want to do 
But you gotta do something to get out of the zoo 

Look at them 
Searching for secrets 
Look at them 
Searching for a leader 

I said there are no secrets, but you can hide it if you like 
And you can pick your religion, but does there have to be a fight 
Or you can take it all over, if thats what you want to do 
But you gotta do something to get out of the zoo, to get out of the zoo, to get out of the zoo, 
To get out! 

Look at them 
Searching for secrets 
Look at them 
Searching for a lover 

The Man Who Sold the World - David Bowie

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when 
Although I wasnt there, he said I was his friend 
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes 
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago 

Oh no, not me 
I never lost control 
Youre face to face 
With the man who sold the world 

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home 
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed 
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here 
We must have died along, a long long time ago 

Who knows? not me 
We never lost control 
Youre face to face 
With the man who sold the world 

Who knows? not me 
We never lost control 
Youre face to face 
With the man who sold the world 

Ways To Be Free

You can be a chameleon 
But you don't have to change 
For any external reason 
That will leave you too strange 
Don't believe in the fashions 
Or you might get yourself lost 
With no commitments no passions 
You could be counting the cost 

When you're looking at me, I can see, 
It's sometimes so hard to get free 
hard to get free 
hard to get free 
hard to get free 

With your herart full of hate 
You'll see nothing but pain 
Don't you know that it's fear 
Thats got your spirit in chains 
Hey, but when you're in love 
There's no reason to worry 
When you're in love 
Never say sorry 

When you're looking at me, I can see, 
So many ways to be free 
ways to be free 
ways to be free 
ways to be free 

You've seen them strutting around 
All those bullies and fascists 
They drive you deep underground 
And you don't know how to smash it 
Cos you head's full of dope 
And don't you know it don't suit you 
It's only chemical hope 
Thats turned yr back to the future 

When you're looking at you, what can I do? 
It's sometimes so hard to get through 
hard to get through 
hard to get through 
hard to get through 

Its so hard on your own 
To find someone to trust 
Don't let your heart turn to stone 
Or your dreams turn to dust 
Its hard to find a good friend 
Not motivated by greed 
But I believe in the end 
You will find what you need 

When I'm looking at you, I can believe it's true 
That somehow we all will pull through 
all will pull through 
all will pull through 
all will pull through
