Face to Face Album

All men have secrets and here is mine
So let it be known
We have been through hell and high tide
I can surely rely on you
And yet you start to recoil
Heavy words are so lightly thrown
Still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you

So, what difference does it make?
So, what difference does it make?
Well, it makes none but now you have gone
And you must be looking very old tonight

The devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and I lied, why? because you asked me to
But now you make feel so ashamed
Because I've only got two hands
Well, I'm still fond of you, uh-ho-ho

So, what difference does it make?
Oh, what difference does it make?
Oh, it makes none but now you have gone
And your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight

Oh, the devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and I lied just because you asked me to
But you know the truth about me you won't see me anymore
But I'm still fond of you, uh-ho-ho

But no more apologies, no more
No more apologies
I'm too tired, I'm so very tired
And I'm feeling very sick and ill today
But I'm still fond of you, uh-ho-ho

Oh, my sacred one
Oh...

The devil will find work for idle hands to do
The devil will find work for idle hands to do
The devil will find work for idle hands to do
The devil will find work for idle hands to do

We stood in your room and laughed out loud.
Suddenly the laughter died and we were caught in an eye to eye.

We sat on the floor and did we sit close. I could smell your thoughts and thought. Do you want to touch a lot like me? Too scared to say a thing. I left your house and kicked myself. I put those feelings on a shelf to die. I guess I'm not a gambling type but think of what the two of us had lost.

Had lost.

I needed some time to think it out. 7-Eleven parking lot. A toothless woman turned and stopped. I gave her a dime and a Chesterfield. She leaned down and kissed my cheek. I was scared but it felt sweet.

Felt so sweet.

She asked me if I had a name. I told her I was glued up on some chick. We sat and smoked against the wall.
Drank a beer, felt the chill of fall.

Of Fall.

I took my car and drove it down the hill by your house. I drove so fast. The wind it couldn't cool me down, so I turned it around and came back up. You were waiting on your step, steam showing off your breath and water in your eyes. We pulled each other into one, parkas clinging on the lawn and kissed right there.

Said all my chicks they smoke these things and handed you a Chesterfield King. Held your hand and watched tv and traced the little lines along your palm.

Your palm.

I took my car and drove it down the hill by your house.
I drove so fast.
The wind it couldn't cool me down, so I turned it around
and came back up.
You were waiting on your step, steam showing off your breath
and water in your eyes.
We pulled each other into one, parkas
clinging on the lawn and kissed right there.

Right there.

I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all direction
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark For too long

Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me

I found a love I had lost
It was gone for too long
Hear no evil in all directions
Execution of bitterness
Message received loud and clear

Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me

Seen the carnival at Rome
Had the women I had the booze
All I can remember now
Is little kids without no shoes
So I saw that train And I got on it With a heartful of hate
And a lust for vomit


Now I'm walking on the sunnyside of the street


Stepped over bodies in Bombay
Tried to make it to the U.S.A.
Ended up in Nepal
Up on the roof with nothing at all
And I knew that day I was going to stay


Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street

Been in a palace, been in a jail
I just don't want to be reborn a snail
Just want to spend eternity


Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street


As my mother wept it was then I swore
To take my life as I would a whore
I know I'm better than before
I will not be reconstructed


Just wanna stay right here, on the sunnyside of the street

On the sunnyside of the street

One fine day in my odd past
I picked me up a transmission
I turned the fission ignition
Went looking for the broadcaster
And when i first touched some ground
They simply told me leave
Was kind of hard to believe
'Cause there was not one around


This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound


I had a talented wine
That land o' classical gas
And on the planet of glass
They sent me skipping through time
I got to somewhere renowned
For its canals and color of red
And lots of guys who shook their heads
Rhythmically to resound


This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound


This ain't no rock and roll town
This ain't no fuckin' around


This ain't no planet of sound


I met a guy in a rover
He said it's one more over
It's just there where you're bound


This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound

Heaven
Is the whole of the heart
And Heaven
Don't tear you apart
Yeah Heaven
Is the whole of the heart
And Heaven
Don't tear you apart


There's too many kings wanna hold you down
And a world at the window gone underground
There's a hole in the sky where the sun don't shine
And a clock on the wall and it counts my time


And Heaven
Is the whole of the heart
And Heaven
Don't tear you apart
Yeah heaven is the whole of the heart
And Heaven
Don't tear you apart


There's a song on the air with a love-you-line
And a face in a glass and it looks like mine
And i'm standing on ice when I say that I don't hear planes
and I scream at the fools wanna jump my train


And Heaven
Is the whole of the heart
And Heaven
Don't tear you apart
Yeah Heaven
Is the whole of the heart
And Heaven
Don't tear you apart
Yeah Heaven

And heaven yeah Heaven

When we have nothing left to give
There will be no reason for us to live
But when we have nothing left to lose
You will have nothing left to use


We owe you nothing
You have no control


Merchandise keeps us in line
Common sense says it's by design
What could a businessman ever want more
Than to have us sucking in his store


We owe you nothing
You have no control


You are not what you own

Another time
Time after time
You make me feel so helpless I


I never tried to change your mind
I keep it to myself
It's sometimes I've got to tell you
Is it this time I'll tell you
We've got to go to places
Somewhere I don't mind it's special
And now you find as time goes by
You're left with nothing Meaning much
The meaning I will have to try
To take your mind to places
I wish that I could help you
But you seem less than helpless
I always tried to tell you
Someday that it'd seem so special


Time after time
What's on your mind
You make me feel so helpless I
You never tried what's on your mind
You make me feel so helpless I


I feel so helpless I


You're left alone with something
And I hope for you it's one thing
That something you and yours can hold
And hold as something special


And now you find as time goes by
You're left with nothing meaning much
The meaning I will have to try
What's on your mind so helpless I


I feel so helpless I

A police car and a screaming siren
A pnuematic drill and ripped up concrete
A baby waiting and stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and lamplights blinking


That's entertainment

A smash of glass and the rumble of boots
An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat
Lights going out and a kick in the balls

That's entertainment

Days of speed and slow time Mondays
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday
Watching the news and not eating your tea
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls


That's entertainment


Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard
Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays


That's entertainment

Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume
A hot summers' day and sticky black tarmac
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were faraway


That's entertainment


Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude
Getting a cab and travelling on buses
Reading the grafitti about slashed seat affairs

That's entertainment

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 not 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
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop

This 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

I've never seen you look like this without a reasonAnother promise fallen throughAnother season passes by you
I never took the smile away from anybody's faceAnd that's a desperate way to lookFor someone who is still a child
In a big country dreams stay with youLike a lover's voice fires the mountainsideStay alive
I thought that pain and truth were things that really matteredBut you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desertBut I can live and breatheAnd see the sun in wintertime
In a big country dreams stay with youLike a lover's voice fires the mountainsideStay aliveStay alive

So take that look out of here it doesn't fit youBecause it's happened doesn't mean you've been discardedPull up your head off the floor¡ºcome up screamingCry out for everything you ever might have wantedI thought that pain and truth were things that really matteredBut you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desertBut I can live and breatheAnd see the sun in wintertime
In a big country dreams stay with youLike a lover's voice fires the mountainsideStay alive
In a big country dreams stay with youLike a lover's voice fires the mountainsideStay alive
In a big country dreams stay with youLike a lover's voice fires the mountainsideStay alive
