"Demo 5" (1985 Best of/Compilation)
1. Second Dawn
2. News on the Loose
3. Last Night
4. High on You
5. Sweet Georgia Brown
6. Time's Coming Up
1. Second Dawn
2. News on the Loose
The city awakes, it lives for today
We feel so secure
But life is a bore behind all these walls
We need some excitement for sure
Watching the news while you’re still in bed
The wheel of sensation turns around your head
Stay in its dream, believe what you see
And enjoy all the tears that the children shed
Gaze at the world in some kind of trance
Then you’re high on words of the Promised Land
You hit the rainbow through your TV set
Then you’re just flying high among the headlines of death
News has gone crazy, distorted and fantasy
Inside it’s shady and faking reality
Papers on fire
It’s burning desire for the wildest lines
It’s not news alright but they’re just part of a fight
Where the winner’s he who lies
But stay where you are, in your iron cage
Wasting your life, just give it away
You’re chained in words but you’ve still got time
To make your own dreams, but then you’re satisfied
News has gone crazy, distorted and fantasy
Inside it’s shady and faking reality
News is on the loose
Can’t tell the maker from the referee
News is on the loose
The lead is straight or was it bent?
News is on the loose
I saw the lies
Bewteen the lines
News is on the loose
Can’t tell the maker from the referee
News is on the loose
The lead is straight or was it bent?
News is on the loose
It’s out of control
There’s no way to hold on to the truth in life
The rumours in town are running around
‘Till they all end up with lies
But who wants to know what it’s really like
Out in the streets, when it’s safer inside
You needn’t know anything except what you see
By the break of dawn, in front of your TV
News has gone crazy, distorted and fantasy
Inside it’s shady and faking reality
News is on the loose
Can’t tell the maker from the referee
News is on the loose
The lead is straight or was it bent?
News is on the loose
I’m dragged around by my simplicity
News is on the loose
There’s more to life than meets the lens
3. Last Night
Memories
I just can’t see why you chase me every night
Cause I’ve felt the pain of the price to pay
And I’ve already paid too much
Nowhere to go
But I walk the road of the lost and never found
And if ache stops by my heart tonight
Again I’m going down
I did believe we had it all forever
I never thought we’d put out the fire
In your heart
But I’ve always played the fool
Memories
I’m on my knees, can’t you see what state I’m in?
Make me believe that time to be flown away
Along with the tears
I close my eyes to tell my mind
Tomorrow is another day
But you turn around and upside.down
And I just can’t stand anymore
I’m crying out to break the roaring silence
I don’t wanna hear my heart
As it’s torn apart
Last night
She said she’d think it over
Last night
I had no reason to despair
She said she couldn’t stay the night
And I knew she didn’t care
Cause she said
“Some day I’m gonna make it up to you”
Memories, memories
I just can’t see why you chase me every night
Won’t you please stay with me
Or will you be just a memory?
I still need you, dying just to see you
I’m crying out to break the roaring silence
I don’t wanna hear my heart
As it’s torn apart
Last night
She said she’d think it over
Last night
I had no reason to despair
She said she couldn’t stay the night
And I knew she didn’t care
She said
“Some day I’m gonna make it up to you”
Last night
She said she’d think it over
Last night
She said she couldn’t stay the night
And I knew she didn’t care
Cause she said
“Some day I’m gonna make it up to you”
4. High on You
Don’t know right from left
Light a cigarette
And take a look at it all
The empty bottle’s smashed against the bedroom wall
Don’t know right from wrong
A never ending song
Pounding in my heart
The song of desperation’s played since yesterday
I’m alone in the night
Bound to your spell
I just can’t tell how I feel
I can see you’ve changed
You’re just not the same
I see no spell in your eyes
I can’t accept the fact that you’re not here tonight
Why did you walk out on me?
I just can’t see, and I disagree
I’ll still be...
High on you
I don’t know what to do
Cause I’ll never get through to you
High on you
Won’t you show me the way to your heart
Waiting by the phone
Even though I know
That you won’t give me a call
I pick it up but there is no-one there at all
I’m alone in the night
Bound to your spell
I just can’t tell how I feel
Words that I regret
Leave ‘em unsaid
They make no sense to me now
I guess it’s too late to repent and cry it out
Why did you walk out on me?
I just can’t see, and I disagree
I’ll still be...
High on you
I don’t know what to do
Cause I’ll never get through to you
High on you
Won’t you show me the way to your heart
High on you
I don’t know what to do
I wanna be good to you
High on you
Won’t you show me the way to your heart
Don’t know right from wrong
The same old crazy song
Pounding in my brain
The song of desperation played since yesterday
Why did you walk out on me?
I just can’t see, and I disagree
I’ll still be...
High on you
I don’t know what to do
Cause you won’t let me through to you
High on you
Won’t you show me the way to your heart
5. Sweet Georgia Brown
No gal made has got a shade on sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet but oh so neat, has sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and wanna die for sweet Georgia Brown
I’ll tell you just why, you know I don’t lie, not much
It’s been said she knocks ’em dead when she lands in town
Since she came, why, it’s a shame how she coos ’em down
Fellers she can’t get are fellers she ain’t met
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her
Sweet georgia brown
6. Time's Coming Up
Hear the music all the time
Don’t know what’s going on in my mind
Turn it up tonight
Looking for somebody’s help
Help to guide me up on the stage
Please turn on the light
Here it comes again
Singing like I’m insane
Feeling fine
Time’s coming up, I’ve got to stop
Feeling fine
Time’s coming up
Living the life of a shadow
Keep on feeling the taste of the sorrow
People are telling me what to say
Now I want to do it my own way
No more of that stuff
I want to play my rock
Feeling fine
Time’s coming up, I’ve got to stop
Feeling fine
Time’s coming up
Hear the music all the time
Don’t know what’s going on in my mind
Turn it up tonight
Looking for somebody’s help
Help to guide me up on the stage
Please turn on the light
No more of that stuff
I want to play my rock
Feeling fine
Time’s coming up, I’ve got to stop
Feeling fine
Time’s coming up
Feeling fine
Time’s coming up, I’ve got to stop
Feeling fine
Time’s coming up
