  Lyrics - Did You Measure Up

  Hear the voice from the ministry screaming to be heard.

  Head in hands and a foaming mouth, clearly he's disturbed.

  Ten years in the afterglow believing they'd forgotten what was done.

  Such power under your control and still you tried to wield it like a gun.

   

  See the man with the foreign face defiance in his eyes.

  Moves across to find a crowded space and looks up to the skies.

  Everybody with a knife to twist, an axe to grind, a nation to define.

  Anyway that you look at this the fear will tend to concentrate the mind.

   

  Did you measure up to all your heroes?

  Do you think that history will be kind?

   

  Memories of paper cups dripping with red wine.

  Gathered dust around a roadside cross littering the mind.

  If every action has a consequence, a recompense is due.

  Give yourself the chance to reconcile or catastrophic futures may ensue.

   

  Did you measure up to all your heroes?

  Do you think that history will be kind?

  Do all your friends still call you weirdo?

  Contemplate the mess you left behind?

  Lyrics - Paralysed

  The rolling streams of summer dreams vanish in a haze

  A fickle frantic energy dissipates and fades

  Dizzy beats from city streets, the heavy carpet beneath your feet

  The quiet march of ministers, hesitant and sinister

   

  Where honesty plays sacrifice to half a dozen lies

  Dangerous superstitions form advancing our demise

  The changing man came unprepared someone dies and someone cares

  The truth forgotten in-between the silence and the limousine to hell

   

  They promise you this and they promise you that

  And when your dreams have fallen flat

  How they work so hard to analyse

  Now they stand there paralysed

  Eyes wide with wonder, hearts torn asunder

  Rain falls like thunder, thunder, thunder

   

  Sell it hard to understand a message loud on your command

  And if you saw what love could bring

  And if you knew what song to sing again

  Butterflies like angel's prayers are offered up in grace

  Fragile wings flutter by and disappear in space

  Lyrics - Addict

  You start in your schooldays furtive drag in the yard

  Some dope in the evening, Rizlas rolled in a car

  Remember the day, the quiet cigarettes

  The searching for answers to bitter regrets

   

  A face in the corner stands biding his time

  The light dims around him the darkness hiding the crime

  Deep in the night, needle in hand,

  Empty the contents meltwater in sand

   

  We all need a reason to give it away,

  the addict will try to explain

  For some its adventure for others its pain,

  you can take it or leave it to fade

  Cloud the smile in your eyes

  Betraying the truth with your lies

  And the smoke just continues to rise

   

  You breath in the cool air, blow circles to the sky

  Imagine a better life the supernatural high

  And life slows down to the ticking of a clock

  The pain in your head says the craving won't stop

  Lyrics - Revolution In Your Head

  They say the future's here and glittering on your screen

  You move from page to page flickering in-between

  You think you own them all because your face cannot be seen

   

  A face looks back at you pretending to be there 

  She offers up a smile half- hearted without care 

  You click the button go but she refuses now to share

   

  Did you dream of the sun tonight? 

  Did you fall into sleep, did you lie in her arms?

   

  You hope that love will last but not disrupt your plans 

  Think you can carry on just like a single man 

  And when she counts on you, you turned your back on her and ran

   

  Was the revolution in your head 

  Or did evolution stop you dead 

  Or did you just lose faith instead

   

  Outside the city square orphans form a queue 

  Gazing at the faces there for anyone they knew 

  The early days of happiness have given way to gloom

   

  Did you find what you looked for, what you read all those books for? 

  Did you look like a madman, spend your days as a sandman? 

  Wasted lives in a dust bowl, empty souls in a black hole 

  While they try to survive, barely living not alive

   

  It's easy now to speculate why you made that choice 

  And how you tried to emulate the master of the voice 

  The times were hard, days were long, if only, only 

  Disregard the right the wrong, the lonely, lonely

   

  Pity the shallow human race there is no other in this place 

  Did you dream of the sun tonight, did you lie in her arms? 

  A fallen idol in disgrace democracy now loses face 

  Did you dream of the sun tonight, did you die in her arms?

  Lyrics - You And Me Against The World

  I know you. You know me. We understand.

  You meet me. I greet you. You take my hand.

   

  When you fall and you fail, and your dreams unfurl.

  Then you call and we sail, you and me against the world.

   

  They tell you they know me, they won't be kind.

  It's hurtful, believe me, you know my mind.

   

  When all the lies and hate surround you threaten to bring you to the floor

  Let me put my arms around you and close the door.

  Lyrics - Like A Child

  I hear a voice on the radio complaining of a drought you know

  The man he said we'll die of thirst if we can't get a cloud to burst

  Now scratch my head and run me down still the world turns round and round

  Experiment to make amends the rain-dance buys you many friends

   

  Like a child I wonder why we think we can control the sky

  Stop the sun from shining bright free us from the darkest night

  You better heed the warning now!

   

  I hear a voice on the radio complaining now his crops won't grow

  They need the sun to shine some more otherwise we'll starve for sure

   

  Like a child I wonder why we think we can control the sky

  Stop the rain from tumbling down flooded streets in every town

   

  At first you think they're joking, to find a cure by hoping,

  Don't you wish they'd leave well alone? This is my home....

   

  Like a child I wonder why we think we can control the sky

  Stop the rain from tumbling down flooded streets in every town

  You better heed the warning now!

   

  Like a child I wonder why we think we can control the sky

  Careful what you're wishing for if sun's your God then rain will pour

  Lyrics - Shadows

  They all believed it in their heart. A brand new start with just a waving hand

  He said how much he cared, how well he was prepared to build a better land

   

  And though the tide may turn still the sun goes down on all his promises

  Revealing dishonesties.

   

  A bottle shatters on a step before the flames explode across the sky

  A liquid fire appears in the shadow of our fears amid a siren's cry

  They turn against all hope losing touch and offering profanities

  Bearing calamities

   

  When nothing seems to rhyme and the corners of your mind

  reveal a troubled soul

  They needed to believe and now it's clear they've been deceived

  and so you lose control

   

  Preaching and teaching, sell the world a story to believe in,

  Redeeming, and paint a picture that's outrageous, courageous,

  Decorate the words revealed by sages on pages, like sprayed graffiti on a wall.

  Making shadows of us all, my friend.

   

  What is the measure of a man when all that's left him are his memories

  Nothing here to share, no one left to care from all the living years

  To realise at last, that everything we are is merely vanity,

  The rest is insanity.

  Lyrics - All The Ways (A Cautionary Tale)

  I met an old man with a cautionary tale to tell,

  he warned against a life that ends in hell He told me something of the misery befell, and now, his words, they haunt me...

  A young man likes to think he's better than the rest, that he can take a risk and stand up to the test

  That all the losers here are victims or repressed, and so it goes, until you feel alone.

   

  All the ways you said you loved me but you don't

  All the times you said you'd meet me but you won't

  All the nights you come and haunt me like a ghost

  And now, I know, you know, I feel alone.

   

  We cling to memories and photographs and stuff, think they protect us from the future and the rough

  When all is said and done the past is not enough and now, I'm here, his words, they haunt me

   

  And so I left my basement flat and headed out instead

  I met her eyes and fixed a gaze before she turned her head

  She led me to a room sparsely furnished with a bed

  Then laid me down on soft silk sheets draped in crimson red

   

  Ooh my my my, the sun is in his sky

  The moon and stars they shine so bright tonight the girl is mine...

   

  She held me in a vice-like grip then pinned me to the floor

  Standing over tall and straight she smiled and offered more

  My mind was fading in and out my legs felt insecure

  I fell into a deeper sleep than I ever have before

   

  Just when I see it's getting crazy

  My Vision fades and turns to grey

  The woman smiles and looks at me

  The shadow fall and carry me away…

   

  Then I awoke and suddenly found myself alone

  I looked around nervously and checked my mobile phone

  Suddenly I realised the truth of what I'd done

  She left me here with nothing but the clothes that I had on

   

  Ooh my my my, the sun has left the sky

  The moon and stars don't shine so bright tonight I lost my mind....

   

  Now I remember the sad end of the affair, her eyes looked back at me pretending to be there

  She offered up a smile half-hearted without care, and now I knew, the end I face alone...

   

  All the ways you said you loved me but you don't

  All the times you said you'd meet me but you won't

  All the nights you come and haunt me like a ghost

  And now, I know, you know, I feel alone.

  Lyrics - For All We Know

  Time still pushing endlessly erodes a dim reality

  Of Isaac's measured altitudes to interstellar solitude

  Drifting slowly out of sight, across the sky into the night

  Departing Earth's sweet atmosphere wider than a hemisphere

   

  Product of a human mind drift toward another kind

  Pushes at a boundary outside the world of symmetry

  Quietly through its restless gaze to analyse a milky haze

  Searching in the distant past in which new futures can be cast.

   

  For all we know, a vessel now approaches home

  For all we know, we are simply not alone

   

  Far and wide. A voyager clinging fast to life

  World's collide, a hopeless case of suicide

  Rising tides, the last man here turns out the light

  Side by side, a new frontier fades out of sight

   

  Catastrophic futures come to pass,

  a mirrored planet held in glass.
