Where Have The Good Times Gone? 04:24

Verse 1 It's in the cities and the seaside towns It's in the shuttered shops and closed fairgrounds [It's in there] It's in the basements and the banging tunes The Rising Suns and Underwater Moons [Everywhere] It's in the litter by the Laser Quest It's in the Liver Birds and Robin's Nest [It's in there] It's in the schools and everything they teach It's in Temptation and in Echo Beach Bridge It's the lie, it's the dream It's a sigh, it's a scream It's the violence of the silence Round this stupid scheme Chorus Oh, what's going on? It's all gone wrong Where have the good times gone? Where did they go? Doesn't anyone know? Where have the good times gone? Where have the good times gone? Verse 2 It's in the pallets and the mattresses It's in the ministers and mistresses [It's in there] It's in the mannequins and market stalls It's in the the kirks and in the Kingdom Halls [In the air] It's in the recs and becks and derelicts It's in the wounds the world at war inflicts [Everywhere] It's in the photographs and crooked frames It's in the fallen and their fading names Bridge It's the lie, it's the blame It's the sigh, it's the shame It's the silence round the violence In this stupid game Chorus Oh, what's going on? It's all gone wrong Where have the good times gone? Where did they go? Doesn't anyone know? Where have the good times gone? Where have the good times gone? Break Where did it all go wrong? Where did it all go wrong? Where did it all go wrong? Where did we all go wrong? Bridge 3 It's the lie, it's the game It's the sigh, it's the shame It's the silence round the violence No one takes the blame Chorus Oh, what's going on? It's all gone wrong Where have the good times gone? Where did they go? Doesn't anyone know? Where have the good times gone? Oh, what's going on? It's all gone wrong Where have the good times gone? Where did they go? Doesn't anyone know? Where have the good times... Where have the good times... What's going on? It's all gone wrong Where have the good times gone? Where did they go? Doesn't anyone know? Where have the good times gone? Where have the good times... Where have the good times... Where have the good times gone? Where have the good times gone?

I Know It's Wrong 04:25

You, you don't care, you're unaware that there's anyone else here You, you don't need, you just feed, you just please yourself, yeah You, you just use, just abuse, just amusing yourself, I know I know it's wrong to want you I know it's wrong I know it's wrong to want you You, you don't reveal, you just conceal, feeling nothing at all, no You, you just destroy, break all your toys, but you're enjoying yourself, yeah? You, you're in control, but you're not whole, a broken doll on the shelf, I know I know it's wrong to want you I know it's wrong I know it's wrong to want you You, you just take, you just break, you make your own amusement You, you disconcert, pretend to flirt, then the hurt and betrayal You, you walk away, come back to stay, playing with your prey, I know I know it's wrong to want you I know it's wrong I know it's wrong to want you You, you don't see, you don't see me, see me standing here now You, you don't hear, just disappear, it's clear as crystal shards now You, you take to heart, you take apart, this dark adapted heart, I know I know it's wrong to want you I know it's wrong [I know it's wrong] I know it's wrong to want you I know it's wrong [I know it's wrong] I know it's wrong to want you I know it's wrong [I know it's wrong] I know it's wrong to want you I know it's wrong (I know it's wrong)

Reign 05:33
lyrics
buy track
Some say there’s a malady my lady can cure Some say catastrophe only she can endure Some say insanity allows her to arrive I say it’s majesty only she can provide She has more secret weapons than one Your kingdom come undone She’s the shape of things to come She will reign! She will rain down on me She will reign! She will reign down One way the mysteries of peace for our time One way a history, where the toll of victory chimes One way Calliope, she strikes a higher kill One way our liberty, our freedom from free will She has more secret weapons than one Your kingdom come undone She’s the shape of things to come She will reign! She will rain down on me She will reign! She will reign down Reign! When the history comes to be written They will say we failed the call When she wins the war in the ether And our walls of fire fall But she will be my Mrs Robinson And I will be her soldier boy She will speak with the tongue of angels And her angels I will deploy 99 cables in constant tension Send her signal wide and far And though she’s torn from the pages of Platonov Still her sword cuts down the stars Will she throw us all for a half-loop With the Emperor’s new codes? Will the made men made in her imagery Repeat my radio shows? And will we dream of little Lizzie listening Deep in our nice quiet sleep? Will we find our union’s union Is a promise that we cannot keep? For she will bring the grand finale Shadow puppets in the radium glow Unless we tell her Maidenhead marionette “In the name of God, go” She will reign!

Dear Spacegirl 04:00 video
lyrics

Verse 1 A rainy day on Earth again And time and time and time again I watch and wait and wonder when Your message will arrive 'Cos though you're just a space cadet When you receive this S.O.S. Please transmit coordinates So our worlds can collide Bridge 1 Spacegirl, are you lonely? Spacegirl, are you cold? Spacegirl, won't you take me to your home? Chorus Dear Spacegirl [Spacegirl] Dear Spacegirl Verse 2 A million miles away from me Orbiting Parthenope Turn on your telepathy And I'm sure you'll share this thrill 'Cos though you're warping worlds away And if you came you couldn't stay I know that you'll descend one day The day my world stands still Bridge 2 Spacegirl, aren't you lonely? Spacegirl, aren't you cold? Spacegirl, please don't leave me here alone Chorus Dear Spacegirl [Spacegirl] [Dear Spacegirl] Dear Spacegirl Verse 3 That day we'll dance round Saturn's rings Waltzing while the spheres sing Wheeling like two birds on wing From Titan to Telesto Solo Verse 4 If I could send a satellite To look for you at the speed of light Maybe you'd be here tonight Venus meeting Mars But one day soon you'll intercept My signal and then you'll correct Your course and then you'll come collect And take me to the stars Bridge 3 Spacegirl, aren't you lonely? Spacegirl, aren't you cold? Spacegirl, please don't leave me here alone Chorus Dear Spacegirl [Dear Spacegirl] [Spacegirl] [Dear Spacegirl] Dear Spacegirl Outro [Playing in the Pleiades Beaming down to Ganymede Turn on your telemetry And take me to the stars] [Spacegirl] [Spacegirl] Take me to the stars Take me to the stars
