you fall for the lure of it
you hope there's no cure for it

when you see the back of it
then you feel the lack of it
patterns, patterns
patterns in the sand
guess wait fear fate
read it, read it
like lines in your hand
detest the most blest of them
tolerate the rest (of them)
Fills every part in you
Worsens the smart in you
patterns, patterns
patterns in the sand
guess wait fear fate
read it, read it
like lines in your hand
you don't mind the price for it
you'd leave paradise for it
you're scared by the waste of it
you're losing the taste of it
patterns, patterns
patterns in the sand
guess wait fear fate
read it, read it
like lines in your hand
it gets in the holes of you
it's taking control of you
till you see a spate of it
just when it's too late for it
patterns, patterns
patterns in the sand
guess wait fear fate
read it, read it
like lines in your hand
a gift that the cat dropped by
who will fling it to the rubbish ?

Holding his nose
says the barber
brushing his clothes
it will surely will get done
a dead end for a royal blue
who will wade knee-deep in blubber ?
too turgid a toil
and the tanker captain
burns a different oil
till the gas is all blown
of one more fortress that fell
who can tell his name and number ?

there is no escape from shame
no escape from shame
no shame
we're here and now
we're now and here and now
we're better — yeah
we're better — yeah
we're blacker than black
and righter than white
we're coal dust turned into dynamite
we're the ones who laugh last
we're the ones who have fun
we're the ones who kick ass
turned into new G.I. Joe
there's no place on earth
where we will not go
when the bugle sounds
we used to be the hares
now we run with the hounds
we wear the stars and stripes
and we're gonna wipe the floor
with the former leading lights
when the man in command
looks like one of ours
for the future of the child
falls the earth to his father
it's destiny our destiny
and the land is free
and man may not tarry
the red sky will teach us
the sunset to marry
the sunset the sunset
the sunset we'll wed
the promise the promise
the promise we've read
sibylle
for the future of the child
falls the earth to his mother
it's destiny, our destiny
and the land is free
for the glory of our God
falls the earth to no other
it's destiny our destiny
and the land is free ...

who did not mind the call to serve
when he saw the first stone flying
he did not want to be seen to swerve
they gassed his grandad in Germany
just because he bore the wrong name

blood is red
human flesh goes smelly when it's dead
too bad you have nowhere to run
the cruellest killer is
yesterday's victim's son
sweet fifteen and five foot five
she walked into a fast food restaurant
and nobody ever came out alive
she had a brown belt in karate
and boygroup posters on her wall
a chastity belt inside her head
and round her waist
the blackest belt of all
choir
blood is red
human flesh goes smelly when it's dead
too bad you can't hide from the slaughter
the cruellest killer is
yesterday's victim's daughter
no expectations of a last minute hitch
nowhere to hide
because the action won't stop
nowhere to go
from here but over the top
look at me now
the time for redemption has passed
we're heroes at last
and we're both dressed to kill
no nervous twitches now
we're standing quite still
no need to reason why
we won't understand
try as we may
the matter's out of our hands
hear the command
and look at the die that is cast
we're heroes at last

the spring of our years
when our lifes seemed precious and new
that was the promise you gave
the end of all fears
when you smiled and said :
i will do it for you
we're out of control
no recollection of an earlier soul
no trepidation if there's just me and you
no hesitation now
we must see this through
once and for all
the ultimate question is asked
we're heroes at last

where the boys all go
there's a teacher who tells them
what they need to know
there's a lesson to learn for life
one man's woman is another man's wife
men choir
another man's wife
another man's wife
take care how you smile
at another man's wife
at another man's wife
where men go after dark
with the step of the tiger
and the smile of the shark
there's a lesson behind that door
one man's sister is another man's whore
men choir
another man's whore
another man's whore
pay before you ask some more
from another man's sister
from another man's sister
where men go on their knees
there's a preacher who tells them
of the God they must please
there's a lesson
to learn from such courtesy
one man's prayer
is another man's blasphemy

is another man's blasphemy
another man's blasphemy
another man's blasphemy
every man his own company
on the road to eternity

we couldn't get much rest
windows shut against the sand
which blew in from the west
we sweltered in our houses
and still hoped for the best
sent dustbins helter-skelter
while it mocked the sound of sirens
calling lost souls to the shelter
for the freedom of the sheep
let this thought console the lambs
who get strangled in their sleep
& paul
who get strangled in their sleep
oh sorry
for the freedom of the sheep
only we are not dreaming
it's real time
only this can't be real
it's prime time
but we're not watching TV
it's dream time
it's nightmare time
one more day when I did not kill
one more day I made nobody swallow
any sort of a bitter pill
i'm so glad that this day is finished
one more day when I didn't go mad
one more day when I did not make
this one angry or that one sad
till fate decided to spare me
you'd never guess how near I got
near enough to scare me
you don't want to know how close I came
near enough to scare me
one more day when I didn't cheat
one more day when I didn't feel
the heat of the devil's flames
one more day when I didn't swear
one more day when I didn't offend
one more day when I didn't ask
for trouble from any old end
till fate decided to spare me
you'd never guess how near I got
near enough to scare me
you don't want to know how close I came
near enough to scare me
one more day when I challenged no force
one more day I didn't make you talk
of separation or divorce
till fate decided to spare me
you'd never guess how near I got
near enough to scare me
you don't want to know how close I came
near enough to scare me
one more day when I didn't die
i'm so glad that I didn't do nothing
now I'm happy to shut my eyes
i'm so glad
that I managed to watch in peace
as another day passed me by
i have fought for my breath
i have fought for my faith
with no thought of my death
i have fought for fine words
i have fought to protect
i have fought for ideas
and my self-respect
all my fighting is done
but I no longer know
what I lost, what I won
and I fear the keen frost
as the heat of the sun
now my fighting is done
all my fighting is done
and in night's deepest shade
i have fought back the tears
at the wounds that I made
i have fought for the future
i have fought ancient feuds
i have fought for my freedom
and your gratitude
all my fighting is done
but I no longer know
what I lost, what I won
and I fear the keen frost
as the heat of the sun
now my fighting is done
all my fighting is done
with the fog in my soul
i have warred with my demons
for my self-control
i have fought my best friends
with the worst of my foes
i have fallen and risen
from each hurtful repose
all my fighting is done
but I no longer know
what I lost, what I won
and I fear the keen frost
as the heat of the sun
now my fighting is done
all my fighting is done
away from the safe dry land
out on life's ocean waits the unknown
waits the unknown
we're driven and drawn
by an unseen hand
away from present and from past
on future's ocean waits the unknown
we crave and we dread
that darkness so vast
reach the end of the earth
spreads over the globe
burns holes in men's souls
