Better call it a day sittin´in my kitchen here, staring at the wall, wondering what I ´m doin´ ,wondering whom to call, this life is runnin´ empty like the bottles on me floor, a bitter joke, well, worst of all: there´s no more place to get some more! these times are gettin´ harder, they´re gettin´tougher day by day whereever I look no break in sight: I better call it a day the watertap is drippin, the hours tick away who´s that stranger in the mirror? please take him - away! all the neighbours moved away, electricity broke down, the food you get is fuckin´ bad, this is a dying town! still I´m wondering what went wrong? there´s no more sun in the sky! it´s pretty hard to breathe the air, and why did Angie die? miss her like all the others that hit the hardest way, uh what the hell am I doin´ in this place? I better call it a day Uh, still that face in the mirror, can´t remember his name! forgot so many names and faces - this is a deadly game! solo and all these sexual feelings: no place to come - no place to go, all tha s left is this lonely hand, but a hand is no home! Uh, still that face in the mirror, can´t remember his name! forgot so many names and faces - this is a deadly game! solo(feedback) Prowl the streets for female company, but everyone dies away what the fuck am i doin in this place? I better call it a day - I better call it a day - I better call it a day - I better call it a day - I better call it a day - I better call it a day - I better call it a day - I better call it a day so what the fuck am i doin´in a place like this?....

WHAT THE FUCK? ... so what the fuck am I doin´in this kind of place?... the sea like in rusty armours radiates thru´the night and the waves roll on and on endlessly... ...the night. like ever before, spreads its shroud on a dying day - no bitterness knows the wind - no fear knows the sea - no mourning touches mother earth... ...and I, in a tranquil kind of astonished emptiness feel the warm breath of this living being - mother earth... ...and I feel I wanna survive, I wanna keep on livin´ and so - I gotta move! ...so where did all my friends go? what about Jack?...maybe he moved with all the others...way down South... so time, what about time?... time is no straight line,...time is like waves, green waves, rollin on and on,... endlessly, comin´and goin´,.. maybe like circles... ,always returning to the beginnings down in the alleys - out in the dustroads - looks like nobody´s livin´ there no more everybody fled away from this chaos, headin´down for safer Southern shores well, you might say that I´m a dreamer (hi John), but I´m not the only one,but now I´ve got to put my shoulders on the wheel so what the fuck? so what the fuck? so what the fuck am I doin´ in this kind of place? uh,what the fuck! gonna steel that speed car - E-type fuckin´ Jaguar, its filled up tank will get me out of reach today hands on the wheel, foot on the gas, traffic jams are gettin´ in my way well, you might say that I´m a dreamer (hi John), but I´m not the only one,but now I´ve got to put my shoulders on the wheel so what the fuck? so what the fuck? so what the fuck am I doin´ in this kind of place? uh,what the fuck! what the fuck am I doin´ here? there´s nobody else around anymore..., looks like everybody moved way down South..., what about Jack? might be dead by now, or maybe he moved with all the others...,there´s no more electricity...,...gettin´so thirsty...,high and dry, well I´m left here with no warning....,wish I had a bottle of beer...,wish I had a bottle of beer...,wish I had a bottle of beer...,wish I had a bottle of beer...............

She wrote a letter she wrote a letter to her mama saying: I had to leave, it makes me sick you had to stay no time to say good-bye, they said you gotta flee, flee way down South, down the motorway those highway chaos scenes I never will forget: one million cars in endless rows- the way they crashed and smashed, all the wounded and the dead, a world in panic - no place to go this ain´t no place to live in, this is a place to die, you better leave now Sellafield, tell you the reason why: a plane crashed down on reactor IV, the pilot´s lost control, we blame it on the stormy night and the pilot was too old but we do urge you not to panic now - we got all the plans to get you out somehow - the young people leave (but the old people stay),hop in your cars and move down to the motorway! harpsolo she wrote a letter to her mama, but then she threw it away: how should it reach them folks back home? no way to get it mailed, - maybe they´re dead by now - you get no news from the danger zone... no more sun in the afternoon like in village green days, no more birds in the old oak trees, no more green alley ways (maybe the fuckin´weather is to blame for it?) sit alone in my hotel room, dream of days long gone by, underneath city´s neon gloom, underneath starless skies no more sun in the afternoon like in village green days, no more birds in the old oak trees, no more green alley ways solo look at me now! - I am Sarah! look at me now! - I´m not goin´ insane!

Mama ...I always wanted you - but I couldn´t find you... solo once there was a boy, well, you called him Dave, he was the only joy you ever had, thru´ all the days of pain and misery, when daddy used to treat you bad and every time when you felt burned out and sad he always promissed you to grow up and be a man who´d protect you and ´d defend you not neglect you nor resent you so all your dreams could come true in the end he was not different from any other kid, he used to play and fool around with all the boys from around our neighboorhood in our sleepy part of town oh mama, I loved those childhood days, uh, how I loved the smell of your perfume, oh mama, I loved those green alley ways, first wake of love under a silvery moon solo I´m grown up now, I´m standin´ on my own, the world has changed in many a way ruled by machines, who analyse our dreams: controlled we´ll live - controlled we´ll die! oh mama, please won´t you take me away, I feel lost in these post-romantic days oh mama, feel like a third world now: they break my back but they´re makin´ up my face oh mama, say what is happenin´ herearound? please tell me, what they do, please tell me - why? oh mama, they´re building up that golden town - for their new Cartesian god, they call - A I !

Refugees &residents where do all the lights go when they do go out? what about the strangers in a strange land´s town? refugees and residents whizzin´ all around on behalf of science in this Spanish town the northern world is sinking, so let´s hail the South, let´s forget the future we hav dreamt about used to cut the green grass, now we´re cut down red, strangers in a strange land sometimes feel too sad wednesday morning we came down to Spain, crossed the Channel in the fog and rain, France was no hideaway, we just stopped there for a night, - let´s hope that Spain´s allright,,let´s hope that Spain´s allright... all the Scottish, Welsh and Irish folks, all them Spanish all them English blokes, there might be some Germans too, some French and some Portuguese: they gotta move up close,they gotta move up close... solo world is gettin´ curtailed, nature´s gettin´ ruined, artificial intelligence seems to be our doom look how doctor Faustus´´s breakin´ heaven´s rules, see the box of Pandora opened by those fools he was glad he had a high IQ, to change the world was what he´d liked to do now he has reached his top : mankind is at stake - let´s flee for heaven´s sake,let´s flee for heaven´s sake from Bilbao down to Santander still the sun is shining everywhere later on in the night, a night full of trance and dance, - a last chance for romance, a last chance for romance, a last chance for romance.....

THE UNDERGROUND never surrender to the broken hearted, the ones that always put you down, never forget the times you started, the days you spent in the underground so ride to the echoes of time, on the arrows of why and when you will come back again never no move - never no motion - never no fear will get you down you never had the vaguest notion that you´re the Indian kid of the underground - arise! arise! never give in to the narrow - minded, there´s no thing impossible if there´s a way you sure will find it, cos´you are the unstoppable! so ride to the echoes of time, on the arrows of why and when you will come back again never no move - never no motion - never no fear will get you down you never had the vaguest notion that you´re the Indian kid of the underground - arise! arise! solo always live!...ni dieu - ni maitre, never stop to roam around the inner meaning, raison d´etre it´s life itself that´s what we found so ride to the echoes of time, on the arrows of why and when you will come back again solo
