And then... 1983 "Love in itself" All of these insurmountable tasks That lay before me All of the firsts And the definite lasts That lay in store for me There was a time When all on my mind was love Now I find That most of the time Love's not enough In itself Consequently I've a tendency To be unhappy you see The thoughts in my head All the words that were said All the blues and reds Get to me There was a time When all on my mind was love Now I find That most of the time Love's not enough In itself All of these absurdities That lay before us All of the doubts And the certainties That lay in store for us There was a time When all on my mind was love Now I find That most of the time Love's not enough In itself. " More Than A Party " Lots of surprises in store This isn't a party It's a whole lot more We've had enough of this blind man's buff You've kept us in the dark for long enough This is more than a party More than a party More than a party Keep telling us we're to have fun Then take all the ice-cream so we've got none The failed magician waves his wand And in an instant the laughter's gone This is more then a party More than a party More than a party Lots of surprises in store This isn't a party It's a whole lot more More than a party. " Pipeline " Get out the crane Construction time again What is it this time We're laying a pipeline Let the beads of sweat flow Until the ends have met though Could take a long time Working on the pipeline Taking from the greedy Giving to the needy On this golden day Works been sent our way That could last a lifetime Working on the pipeline From the heart of our land To the mouth of the man Must reach him sometime We're laying a pipeline Taking from the greedy Giving to the needy "Everything Counts" The handshake seals the contract From the contract there's no turning back The turning point of a career In Korea being insincere The holiday was fun-packed The contract still intact The grabbing hands grab all they can All for themselves - after all The grabbing hands grab all they can All for themselves - after all It's a competitive world Everything counts in large amounts The graph on the wall Tells the story of it all Picture it now See just how The lies and deceit gained a little More apower Confidence - taken in By a suntan and a grin Everything counts in large amounts. " Two Minute Warning " We're lying by the orange sky Two million miles across the land Scattered to the highest high Expect they'll either laugh or cry No sex, no consequence, no sympathy You're good enough to heat Two minute warning Two minutes later When time has come My days are numbered The dawning of another year Marks time for those who understand One in four still here While you and I go hand in hand No radio, no sound, no sin, no sanctury So welcome to your last The sun, the solitude, the cemetery So welcome to your last. " Shame " Do you ever get that feeling When the guilt begins to hurt Seeing all the children Wallowing in dirt Crying out with hunger Crying out in pain At least the dirt will wash off When it starts to rain Soap won't wash away your shame Do you ever get that feeling That something isn't right Seeling your brother's fists Clenched ready for the fight Soon the fighting turns to weapons And the weapons turn to wounds So the doctors stitch and stitch And stitch and stitch and stitch And stitch and stitch Surgery won't improve your pain It all seems so stupid It makes me want to give up But why should I give up When it all seems so stupid Do you ever get that feeling That something can be done To eradicate this problems And make the people one Do you ever get that feeling Something like a nagging itch And all the while the doctors Stitch and stitch and stitch And stitch and stitch Hope alone won't remove the stains Shame. " The landscape is changing " The landscape is changing The landscape is crying Thousands of acres of forest are dying Carbon copies from the hills above the forest line Acid streams are flowing I'll across the countryside Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere Just take good care of the world I don't care if you're going nowhere Just take good care of the world Now we are re-arranging There is no use denying Mountains and valleys, can't you hear them sighing Evolution. The solution or the certainty Can you imagine this instrusion of their privacy I don't care if you're going nowhere Just take good care of the world Token cestures, some semblance of intelligence Can we be blamed for the security of ignorance. " Told you so " And do those feet in modern times Walk upon the flowers And walk upon their brothers While the heads are busy lying low Trying to keep to cower...oh Something went wrong Along the way Everybody's waiting for Judjement day So they can go Told you so Bring me my gun of itching desire Bring me my bullets and I will fire Sights set higher than the tall Church spire Standing in line The blind lead the blind Waiting and waiting For overdue sign Brothers and sisters Playing chinese whispers If thing's aren't suited Then they'll get diluted There is one more dead with a hole in his head He shouldn't have said all the things he said Many tears were shed for the blood he bled. " And then " Let's take a map of the world Tear it into pieces All of the boys and the girls Will see how easy it is To pull it all down and start again From the top to the bottom and then I'll have faith or I prefer To think that things couldn't turn out worse All that we need at the start's Universal revolution (that's all) And if we trust in our hearts We'll find the solutions Took a plane across the world Got in a car When I reached my destination I hadn't gone far Let's take the whole of the world The mountains and the sand Let all of the boys and the girls Shape it in their hands.
