Please please tell me now
Please please tell me now
Please please tell me now
Please please tell me now
I made a run, I run out yesterday
tried to find my mountain hideaway
maybe next year, maybe no go
I know you're watching me every minute of the day, yeah
I've seen the signs and the looks and pictures
that give your game away, yeah
There's a dream that strings the road
with broken glass for us to hold
and I cut so far before I had to say
Please please tell me now
is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show
People stare and cross the road from me
and jungle drums they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind, can you see in the snow
and fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war
There's a dream that strings the road
with broken glass for us to hold
and I cut so far before I had to say
Please, please tell me now
is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show
Please, please tell me now
is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Please, please tell me now
is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Please, please tell me now
can you see what makes me blow?
Can you see how much I die?
Every time it passes by
Please, please tell me now
what it takes to make you show
Is there something I should know?

Darken the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is afire
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Woman you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound I'm lost in a crowd
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Stalked in the forest too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
High blood drumming on your skin it's so tight
You feel my heart I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside

I've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime
Come on, it takes me nowhere which I knew
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things
Telling me not there man it's no go
(Don't go there boy)
I need a reason
I can't think without one now
Too much learning got to show
Call it reason
Maybe catch her don't know how
Too many things too much to know
Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
'cause sometimes people stare
Sitting down, electric chair
And steaming crowds they gather and they shout
Don't know why this evil bothers me
(Take another chance boy carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast)
So why is he trying to follow me?
(Didn't I say if you're holdin' on
You'd be laughing at the last)
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice)
I might just believe this time
(You're singing out of tune, but the beat's in time
and it's us who make the noise)
I'm talking for free I can't stop myself, it's a new religion
I've something to see I can't help myself, it's a new religion
Okay my reasoning might be clouded by the sun
but someone sees the departmental lie
You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife
only get one look before you die
Don't know why this evil follows me
(Gotta take pay for the saints 'n' sinners
in regulation hats 'n' scarves 'n' things)
So why does he try to bother me?
Walking in formation down the lane
they carry their cross make a church bell ring)
How many reasons do they need?
Army majors pull a mean cool truth
There lying in a swimming pool
I might just be right this time Searching for the undeniable truth
That a man is just a fool
I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself, it's a new religion

You saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street
and the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill
and you know just what it takes and where to go.
Don't say a prayer for me now, save it til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now, save it til the morning after
Feel the breeze deep on the inside look you down into the well
If you can you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance (like all dreamers can't find another way)
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day
Don't say a prayer for me now, save it til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now, save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise, I'll melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
but fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise
Don't say a prayer for me now, save it til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now, save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after

Wild boys, Wild boys
Wild boys, Wild boys
(Wild… Boys…!)
The Wild boys are calling on their way back from the fire
in August's moon surrender to a dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory
Reckless and so hungered on the razor's edge you trail
because there's murder (murder…)by the roadside in a sore afraid new world
They tried to break us, looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always… shine
You got sirens for a welcome there's blood stain for your pain
and your telephone been ringing while you're dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory
Where is all you angels now the figureheads have fell (fell, fell)
and lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell
They tried to tame you looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine
Wild boys, Wild boys, Wild boys
Wild boys (Wild boys)
Wild boys (Wild boys)
Wild boys (Wild boys)
Wild boys never lose it, Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes, Wild boys always…
Wild boys never lose it, Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes, Wild boys always…
Wild boys never lose it, Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes, Wild boys always…

Those words are all remainders
Echoes growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naivety's star
Awaken all those whispers
in the dusty shadow of a passing favour
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right
I couldn't see from so far
Was I chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answered when I called
and I wiped away the water from my face
to look through the eyes of a stranger
for rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger
Can't tell the real from reflection
when all these faces look the same to me
in every city such a desolate dream
Some days are strange to number
some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger
A year of Sundays seems to have drifted right by
(I could have sworn) in one evening
And I'm not seized in desperation
no steel reproaches on the table from before
But I still can feel those splinters of ice
I look through the eyes of a stranger
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger
I must be chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answer when I call
and I wipe away the water from my face
to look through the eyes of a stranger
for rumour in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
Walking away like a stranger
from rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger
In the eyes of a stranger

Out on the tar plains the glides are moving
all looking for a new place to drive
You sit beside me so newly charming
sweating dew drops glisten
freshing your side
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
the front of your dress all shadowy lined
and the droning engine throbs in time
with your beating heart…
Way down the lane away, living for another day
the aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
Swim seagull in the sky
towards that hollow western isle
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
the front of your dress all shadowy lined
and the droning engine throbs in time
with your beating heart…
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
the front of your dress all shadowy lined
and the droning engine throbs in time
. . .

Telegram force and ready
I knew this was a big mistake
There's a fine line drawing
my senses together
and I think it's about to break
If I listen close I can hear them singers
Voices in your body coming through on the radio
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race, it's gonna break
through the borderline
Nightshades on a warning
Give me strength at least give me a light
Give me anything even sympathy
There's a chance you could be right
If I listen close I can hear them singers
Voices in your body coming through on the radio
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race, it's gonna break
through the borderline
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race, it's gonna break
through the borderline
If I listen close I can hear them singers
Voices in your body coming through on the radio
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race, it's gonna break
through the borderline
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
It's gonna race, it's gonna break
Gonna move up to the borderline
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race, it's gonna break
through the borderline
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
It's gonna race, it's gonna break

Only came outside to watch the nightfall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
Like some new romantic looking for the TV sound
you'll see I'm right some other time
look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you're looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is Planet Earth
My head is stuck on something precious
Let me know if you're coming down to land
Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I can't see you
Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you're looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is Planet Earth
Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you're looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop calling Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is Planet Earth

So soon,
just after you've gone
my senses sharpen
But it always takes
so damned long
before I feel how much
my eyes have darkened
Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
drifting in our room
so easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper...
with a careless memory
On the table
signs of love lie scattered...
and the walls break
with a crashing within
It's not as though--
as though you really mattered
But being close,
how could I let you go
without some feeling
some precious sympathy following
Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
drifting in our room
so easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper...
with a careless memory
I walk out into the sun
I try to find a new day
but the whole place
it just screams in my eyes
where are you now?
cuz I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die--
I think I'd laugh at you--
I think I'd cry--
What am I supposed to do,
follow you?
Outside the thoughts
come flooding back now...
I just try to forget you...
So easy to disturb
with a thought...
with a whisper...
with a careless memory...
. . .
