• A Crisis In Mid Life

Feeling the sway of the bridge beneath m, I watch the windsock strai, Stepping with care as thought there's nothing beneath me, 'Cos I'm alone agai, Feeling the strain of the lateral movemen, My escape is clear, Follow the road in one of two direction... A Crisis In Mid Life lyrics »

• Lost In London (25 Years Later)

For some strange reason we decided to talk about se, It was a Wednesday it was half past nin, The conversation just seemed to wander there, Besides we'd done prog two million time, I met the teenage boy in you I never knew was there, And caught a glimpse... Lost In London (25 Years Later) lyrics »

• The Ethernet

As night comes to the city she's working hard on her compute, She takes her work and bundles it up, then she shrugs her shoulder, Slowly plods her way downstairs, drop the key off, starts the motor, Saves her life on tiny disks, there're not backed up... The Ethernet lyrics »

• The D599

Lying on our backs, On the cooling tarmac of a country road, we watched the stars, We watched them fall, And you made 36, I got as far as 49, before we laughed alou, Raced back to the house again, With no idea at all..., .... of our own position in infinit... The D599 lyrics »

• Gothenburg

I'm standing on a stage in Sweden in the rai, But only see the sunlight from your fac, It illuminates the faces that smile back from the crow, We create the time, but you create the plac, And the curtains are closing on this act of the pla, Tomorrow it... Gothenburg lyrics »

• Studio Tan

There's a kind of comfort in the whirring of a fan, The dimmed studio lights and turning counters, The soundproofing a barrier to the hostile world outside, It can carry on without u, But out there it's changing by the instan, And I'm in here on my own... Studio Tan lyrics »

• Not A Drill

We've had so much of trading insult, Oaths and vows are useless, like befor, Petty thoughts and skeletons in closet, Are lying all across our wooden floo, And nothing we believe is sacred in our massive quest to hurt, Everything we're good at is in questio... Not A Drill lyrics »

• Southend

I'm standing on a stage in England, blinded by the light, Hard to even know you're there, But inside I know the switches have been thrown in your min, just a question of when and wher, And all of these years I took for granted, come on back now and whisper... Southend lyrics »

• The A1 North Of Paris

It's time to bring the curtain down, Time to say our final words, I can feel it in my bone, I can feel it in my wate, Traffic jams and French landscape flash b, Lost in a blur of deja v, Still, I can't keep my fingers of, the self destruction button, And... The A1 North Of Paris lyrics »

• Four Last Days

And the water turns to win, And the wine turns into pill, And the pills turn into game, But the games are just cheap thrill, Beware of the promises of song, When you know the road ahead can be so long, And all my anger cannot mov, Or even seek to disprove... Four Last Days lyrics »

• The D599 And The A 61

Lying on our back, A Thousand miles apar, At whatever momen, With synchronised heart, We'll watch the star, we'll watch them fal, And from whatever country it's still the same milky wa, And I only can dream that maybe some da, We'll meet again The D599 And The A 61 lyrics »
