Neuromancer

Am I waiting for you?
Are you waiting for me?
Some hidden sign
Is this the perfect mystery?
Oh got to give it up love
Oh learn the meaning of
Oh got to give up learning
Learn to mean to love
(You're not too mean to love)
Am I trying to hard?
Or maybe not enough?
Is this fear of falling
Or fear of being loved?
Oh got to give it up
This need to find an answer
Share the overflowing cup
of neuromancers' laughter
The world is waiting for you (yes you!)
To wake up and realise
You're an essential part
of all our lives

Playing With Fire
04:38
|

Can I get behind your well designed personality
Will I let you under mine?
I don't want your body or your money or an ornament
I just want a piece of your time
We're playing with fire
Taking it too seriously
But we're taking no concern
You're playing with fire
Think you're taking no chances
But you're taking all the chances in the world
I don't want to use you or seduce you or to take you for a ride
Or play the game and ask you for the last dance
I just want to talk and be as friends not be devoted till the end
and gazing eye to eye be blinded by romance
Can't we try to come to some agreement
Let's see eye to eye not arm to arm
wrestling all the world to conquer our bereavements
Let's hold each other tight and make our hearts grow warm

All Or Nothing
05:17
|

Oh I know, it's so obvious,
songs like this are never very comfortable.
I never meant to make you nervous
and in future I might try
to make the effort to behave
the way that you want me.
Oh I know, everytime
I make a move, it's so predictable.
Wish I could speak some magic line
and in future I might try
to make the effort to make sense
the way that you want me.
Yes you guessed it, tomorrow I'll be singing this
song to someone else. You see I am working on
the law of averages and eventually I will find
someone of a much more likely mind. To be
ruthless, please stay sleeping beauty,
I don't want to waste your time or mine.
After all, shouldn't we be having fun?
Oh I know, you can tell
you're not the only one I've told this parable.
Wish I could be your perfect partner,
just for one night, but like lucifer I'd fall
as far as I'm concerned you could have had it all
or nothing.
If you would take me as I am
as far as I'm concerned
you could have it all
or nothing.

Certain Things
05:07
|
|||
Here's another sad song about feeling all alone,
my seed unsown, or should I celebrate my unsold heart?
Here's another torn-off note next to the telling-bone
A vote unknown, no tiny death unlocks her silent throat.
But I really kinda like her style
And I really could adopt that smile,
But there's certain things in life
That make me so unsure.
And I don't think that I'm in denial,
Well, maybe I should touch that dial,
It's just certain things in life
That make me so unsure.
Here's another normal day with no distractions now,
Tell me how the time may heal this most wholly fractured vow.
Here's another whole blank page, filled with words I hope amuse,
If I were to choose I think I'd rig the whole election.
Coz I'm really feeling most beguiled
By the fairest face of heaven's child,
But there's certain things in life
That make me so unsure.
And I don't think it would be a trial,
And I'd just like you to stay awhile,
It's just certain things in life
That make me so unsure.

No Trouble
05:30
|
|||
Sit me down in the corner of your room,
Feed me with a wooden spoon
and I'll be no trouble
Show me which direction to go,
Tell me once and then I'll know
and I'll be no trouble
I won't be here by the time it's late
I'll probably leave and gently close the gate
I'll wash up my cup and the pattern off my plate
leave them on the side
Let me out in your back yard
Make me softer when I'm hard
and I'll be no trouble
Don't you worry about me
if I'm not there
I'll be no trouble

Damn Real
04:14
|
|||
All praise to the holy rolling political charade
Do you really believe or are you just trying to look hard?
I'm buggered if I understand the issues at all
I'm not putting my life on the line just to be fashionable
This is how I know
I'm not preaching to the converted
Cause there's no convenient sign
There's no physical line
There's no us and them
This ain't no fantasy land
This is damn real.
And all my life people called me lazy
But I'm not lazy it's just that I'm not sure
The devil that you know might be half crazy
And wasn't this the way we started the last world war?
So do you know who wrote your script?
Into whose plans you neatly fit?
And how many dreamers in thirty year's time
Will be tried by our children for new-age crimes?

Dirty Water
07:17
|
|||
Black tracks across the map,
stick your family down with sticky tack,
Never mind that
Meanwhile dying now across the border
more cannon fodder in the name of law and order
And all you houseproud armchair cowards
still send your sons to the desert for the slaughter
Tell me white man would you send out your daughter
miles every day for dirty water?
Bureaucrats and bullies both
who swear the oath of endless growth
And blame their victims for their sloth
(Are blown out by their overgrowth)
The secret they can never know
is how to win by letting go
and purify that bloody muddy flow
(And purify the seed of hope new life to grow)
Everyone accepts the lies
The moral chains and social ties
and praise the makers of their pain
(and blame the other slaves who play the game)
They say the cost of living is too high
What price you and I?
Someone told me that they sold the sky
(Someone told me that we have to rent out space where we can fly)

Waiting For The Light
04:23
|
|||
Dark is overcome by light
Sure as day follows night
Waiting for the light to return
Calling on the big walkers
Calling on the standing stoners
Calling on the ancestors
Calling on the future teachers
Calling on the angry lovers
Calling all my sister brothers
Join the free discussion
And share the ritual ration
While we're waiting for the light to return
