1. LSD

By mere existance - we are elite
Without a body - we are complete
There is no master - we are alone
There is an answer - where we have flown


2. BLUE SHIFT

(Instrumental)


3. DEATH OF WAR

Ebbing eyesight in chlorine clouds
Stealing away barbed wire shrouds
Mowed down in mud by machine gun fire
Trapped and strangled in barbed wire
Silent nights smashed as big guns fill bodies full of shrapnel
In their crusade to kill
Far away, politicians, glasses of port
Meet in a toast to a war they've not fought
Holy fire directed and idly discussed
Manufacturing hatred, engineering distrust
Trading clarity for confusion,
The ruthless powerlust.
Only one thing in common do leaders share
With those on the battlefield fallen down everywhere
And that is their wine, has good body and it is red
Draining away forever like the blood of those dead.


4. THE SECRET AGENT

I was trained in Arizona,
In a secret desert camp
Where we did night manoeuvres
Without a lighted lamp.
I've got an old worn Trilby hat
That doesn't keep me dry
When the rain falls on my mac
Plays havoc with the dye
I wear my dark shades every day of the year
When I see my reflection it strikes a note of fear.
I've got a dozen gadgets concealed in my clothes
I've got some suicide pills that taste like herb of cloves
I've not got a single friend just my armpit gun
And when I go to bed at night it certainly helps me son
I'm always getting in tight spots
I manage to escape
By either jumping off a train
Or swimming in a lake
Soon I'm in a right state
I'm a secret agent there's nowhere you can hide
I'm a secret agent taking you for a ride
What's your name what's your game
Details never stop
Work alone on your own
Collar up, hat pulled down
On the beach, with a peach
Sometimes good, sometimes bad
Drinking coffee, feeling sad.
There's one thing that I want to be involved with
That's Truth and Justice and I sincerely mean that.
And if everybody was involved in Truth and Justice
There would be no need for secret agents.
That's what happens when you get in tight spots.
He's in a tight spot
I've yet to crack-up
Ain't got no backup
What's your name
What's your game
A bit strung out
Ain't got no backup
I'm beginning to crack-up
Think i'll go bankrupt
It's all confusion
Disappearing without a trace
I'm a secret agent
He's in a tight spot
Attention, Attention
[Repeat Verse 1]
And everybody rushes away to hide
Certainly take you for a ride baby! Baby!
(listen.
[Repeat Verse 2]
That's because I'm in a tight spot
He's in a tight spot
I like tight spots
He's in a tight spot
What's your name, what's your game
Details never stop.
Working alone on your own
There's no backup beginning to crack-up
no backup beginning to crack-up
It's a rainy night, neon light
rainy night, neon light
rainy night, neon light
Beginning to crack-up
Ain't got no backup


5. GARDEN PESTS

6. SPACE DUST

7. SNAKE DANCE

8. MASK OF THE MORNING

In the cold grey-mask of morning I cry out,
But no-one feels the sound that I shout,
And you don't hear me through the tears you've shed,
and the dream-world that you've found will one
day drag you down,
The mirror of illusion reflects the smile,
The world from your back door seems so wide,
The house, so tiny it is from inside,
A box that you're still living in,
I cannot see for why
You think you've found perception's doors, they open to a lie.


9. RITES OF THE NETHERWORLD

(Instrumental)


10. DON'T UNDERSTAND

(Instrumental)


11. SADNESS RUNS DEEP

I have the dream in the palm of my hand
But if I fell off that tightrope on which side would I land?
Insecurity and freedom, it's a narrow path
Don't know what she wants now
('cos i've. Forgotten how to laugh.
Frightening thoughts spin, around my head
Betrayal and misery, things that were said
Deep-down inside me the sadness runs deep
The only release from the torture comes when I'm asleep
All of these feelings are trapped deep-down inside
For you it's a joke now i've got nowhere to hide.
Send someone to help me,
I'm lonely and I'm scared
I was gonna pile up,
My emotions they were bared
My weak points they were noted,
Put away for future use
She says that she loves me,
As she tightens up the noose.


12. RIGHT TO DECIDE

I'm a digital citizen, safe in my room
I've got my video to relieve the gloom
My mind's on a circuit with the nudes on the screen
Life's a no-go area - it's so obscene

You can't do this, you can't do that
You can't go forward and you can't go back

I'm a plugged in person, I'm a TV fan
But there's so many things that I don't understand
Why do you want to steal our TV - it's not real
It's a viewing game

You can't do this, you can't do that
You can't go forward and you can't go back


13. GOING TO HAWAII

(Instrumental)


14. ELECTRIC TEPEE

(Instrumental)
