THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE

The day the Earth caught fire
We stood outside the world was laughing
And in the city square
They cast umbrellas to the sky
The sun above my head was burning greedy red
The horns began to blow "Three Cheers for jericho"

The first evacuee
I was headed for the sea, I saw them
The roadside refugees
The boys with bloody knees who waved
Abandoned cars that lay too tired to drive away
"A World in Flames Today" was all the papers
Had to say

Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)
Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)
Run, run, run
Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)
Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)
Run, run, run

The streetcar prophet said,
"You thought that God was dead-I warned you
The sinners and the saved
They fell down to their knees and prayed
Believers held their breath and stoned a witch to death
The leaders and the led said "Blow the bloody
Reds away!"

Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)
Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)
Run, run, run
Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)
Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)
Run. run, run


IT'S ONLY THE END OF THE WORLD

Just as London got up and New York got to bed
I was climbing the walls with a bomb in my head
No time to change it
(There was) No time to change it
No time to change It, It's the end of the
World

I was a lonely one
Holding up the end of the bar
Just one more excuse to stick around
Don't wanna travel too far
Who turned on the radio
"Here's the news and all of it's bad"--l guess it's that
Someone told me it's only the end of the World

I got up and got out, just a face in the street
( They gonna get you brother --you better run for
Cover)
Headlights cut through the night like a knife in the
Deep
(They gonna get you brother --you better run for
Cover)

No time to change it
No time to change it
No time to change it, it's the end of the World

I got a feeling I've been living at the end of the line
(They got love)
Love on every station but mine

Won't someone give me a sign
(Lord get me outta here)

Sorry if I wasted your time
When you're lonely it's only the end of the World


INTERRUPTED MELODY

Bright young woman came running from home
With her life in her hands 'cause they gave her such a
Bad time

Just a part-time lover and a full-time wife
With her heart in the dark and her head out in the
Daylight

Every small-town mother had a rumour on her lips
"I could tell she was trash from her head to her
Fingertips

Now and again when she disagreed
It was an interrupted melody

Shame was a runner for the lady to beat
It left a fire in her belly and a pain in her feet

Friends can be found on the lowest avenue
You never ask for a name when they offer you a lean-to

Now and again when she disagreed
It was an interrupted melody

Working the week-end--Tricks in the park
Over exposure--meat for the sharks
Turn out the headlights--Pull up the car
Business for pleasure--life after dark

There was Willie the Man with his wallet and charm
He left a smile on her face and a mark in her arm

And every Saturday night when the girls gave their
Best
He was hustling trade for the kid from out West

Now and again when she disagreed
Just an interrupted melody

One thing she learned was never give It away
They can take what they want just as long as they pay

Now all that remains of that small-town life
Is a letter from home and a look in her eye

Now and again when she disagreed
It was an interrupted melody

Working the week-end--Tricks In the park
Over exposure--


MODERN LOVE AFFAIR

Who was it called this romance!
The fool with feathers in his head
A river to be sold down, the book that we both read
An empty lounge in some hotel
A fighter's thoughts before the bell

The film we first held hands at
A song that told us "No Regrets"
We asked for Mother's handouts, you ask and we shall
Get
The money saved and money spent
The early morning arguments

Is this a modern love affair!
Is this a modern love affair!

Now if I shrug my shoulders
And only pass the time of day
It's more than wine and roses could ever say
Though I might sulk and you may brood, just thank
God it's me and you

Is this a modern love affair!
Is this a modern love affair!
The one they tell you to beware of

We asked for Mother's handouts, you ask and we shall
Get (Repeat)

Is this a modern love affair!
Is this a modern love affair!
The one they tell you to beware of

NEW YORK TIMES

Turning pages. glancing through the classified
The whole night's sleep was in my eyes
Spilling coffee on my shoes, I noticed you
Saw it all in black and white: "The Broadway Girl
"Makes Good Tonight"
Then some old friend decides to phone
To ask me how I got to know

Read it in the New York Times
It was a smile I recognized
With an unfamiliar- name and another fool by your side
And it really hurt my pride
Cause it's a bitch to realize
You're only second prize, just another New York time

Sunday afternoon, and those old movies make me cry
I'II never know the reasons why
Don't know why I waste my time recalling lines
From a letter by the bed, much better left unread
But old times come on back again when you
Think you heard the last of them

I read it in the New York Times
It was a smile I recognized
With an unfamiliar name and another fool by your side
And it really hurt my pride
Cause it's a bitch realize
You're only second prize. just another New York time


UP IN THE EIGHTIES

Too hot but not too hot to care
I'm sitting pretty by my Frigidaire
And it's good to breathe the midnight air
One more mosquito bite before we get (before we get)
To bed

I'm on the payroll but I'm off the street
You can't disturb a fool's reality
When there's a place i n town where they don't even
Serve you or me
We'd have to sit outside and drink all night to rescue
The economy

Up in the Eighties, where it's hard to breathe
Up in the Eighties, and it's harder to leave you alone
Too close to Heaven to believe I'm here at all
Must be the weather

I got no more use for the radio
The whole world ended just an hour ago
And there's a lot of people waking up with egg in their
Eyes
We'll charge the refugees a grand apiece to camp out in
Our paradise

Up in the Eighties, where it's hard to breathe
Up in the Eighties, and it's harder to leave you alone
Too close to Heaven to believe I'm here at all
Must be the weather

(Up) in the Eighties, where it's harder to breathe
In the Eighties, and it's harder to leave you alone
Close to Heaven to believe I'm here at all
In the Eighties, (Must there be no air to breathe!)


MACHINES

Win or lose, pick and choose
You put your money in the slot
Hold and wait, hesitate
The name of the game is to have and have not
You don't know you lost till you know what you've got
Give me a quarter, a kroner, a yen
We all wind up wasted so try it agai

Have you spent what you made!
Or Is your pocket heavyweight!
There's a price to be paid
Your heart in your mouth as the points start to grow
Your hands tell you stop when your head says to go
Give me a quarter, a kroner, a yen
We all wind up wasted so try it again

Machines, machines, Michael loves machines
Always waiting for the delay
Machines, machines. Michael loves machines
He's always looking for another game to play
Another game to play, another game to play

Every nerve, every bone
Is getting ready for the shot
It's a world of it's own
You don't see a thing as the crowd gathers 'round
They call out Your name but you don't hear a sound
Give me a quarter, a kroner, a yen
We'll wind up wasted so try it again

Machines, machines, Michael loves machines
Always waiting for the delay
Machines, machines. Michael loves machines
He's always looking for another game to play
Another game to play, another game to play

At the end of the day
There's two more buttons left to press
It's the ultimate game
Your video playmate is ready and set
It's so hard to choose when it's Russian Roulette
Give me a quarter, a k


AMBITION: AMBITION

Tell me it's wrong for a man to want to be
Much better known and twice as big as World War
Three
I've been on my knees, a transition is easy to see
Cause Ambition you're driving me

So big in America, so huge in Japan (Man)
So big in America, I say you gotta get it while you can
My name is all over Albania, all the rage in Iran (and)
Sold out in Australia, I say you gotta get it while you can

Open the door, me and my Tarot hold the key
I may be unsure, but only temporarily!
What will be will be and all the fools agree
That Ambition you're killing me

So big in America, so huge in Japan (Man)
So big in America, I say you gotta get it while you can
My name is all over Albania, all the rage in Iran (and)
Sold out in Australia, I say you gotta get it while you can

AMBITION: ME AND MY TAROT

Unfamiliar doorway, crazy figures on the floor
Faces in the hallway staring daggers through the wall
I was at the party but I wished I'd never been
The stranger on the scene, the guest in someone's
dream

The room was smaller with the guests pouring in
"Take a card:' they said, "you need your fortune read"
"Take some good advice and leave when you are led"
The Queen of Broken Hearts had come to warm my
bed

It was getting later the clocks all stayed the same
Everyone was gathered round to play the party game
Someone shouted "Suicide!", and everybody laughed
The game had gone too far and I drew the Hangman's
card
Then they turned the lights back on and left me in the
dark

"Take a card" they said, "you need your fortune read"
"Take some good advice and leave when you are led"
The Queen of Broken Hearts had come to warm my bed

We love a hero gone beyond the reach of our
applause -
We scream his name and call "Encore!"

AMBITION: REV-ON (THE CRUNCH)

(Rev-On) it's a big, black highway
(Rev-On) they can say I did it my way
(C'mon Rev-On) I got a monster beneath me
(Rev it along) Gonna smash me to smithereens
I'm after headlines, headlines
Gimme, gimme them headlines, headlines

"Golden Boy Rides Bike Off Inter-State One-Five"
No Chance Of Coming Out Alive
"No chance of staying alive"
Poor Kid Was cut off In His Prime
"He rode his bike off One-Five"
Almost A Legend In His Time
Red light (can't come back)
It's green for go, there's rubber on the road
(Too hard) two wheels and ignition
That's all I know
(Can't come back) One way to Paradise
When you've been bitten by (too damn hard)
Ambition

(Rev-On) You can call me a yo-yo
(Rev-On) But can you tell me a better way to go!
No!
(C'mon Rev-on) Wasn't I the wild one
(Rev it along) Like a bullet to oblivion
I'm after headlines, headlines
Gimme, gimme headlines, headlines

"Golden Boy Rides Bike Off Inter-State One-Five"
No Chance Of Coming Out Alive
"No chance of staying alive"
Poor Kid Was Cut Off In His Prime
"He rode his bike off One-Five"
Almost A Legend In His Time

Red Light (Can't come back)
It's green for go, there's rubber on the road
(Too hard) Two wheels and ignition
That's all I know
(Can't come back) one way to Paradise
When you've been bitten by (too damn hard)
Ambition
(Can't come back) I just gotta go, it's written on the
road
(Too hard) Two wheels and ignition
That's all I know

AMBITION: THE END (CAME EASY)

Ambition took care of him right to the end
Ambition, his mother, his wife and a friend
And the end came easy
So the news ran loose, and they called out his name
And the front page put him on Memory Lane
But there was no-one there to see
'Cause the World went up .......at three!





And yet some more thanks to Duchessnukem! "YOU ROCK!"
