The Last Man On Earth
The last man on earth - I never knew his name
The last man on earth - I never knew from where he came
And when he spoke to me - I could hear everything
And when he looked at me - I could see everything
I could see everything
I could see everything, everything, everything…..
The last man on earth - the last man on earth
The last man on earth said we are alone
But the last man on earth said that we were all alone
And the sounds of a crowd are now just history
And everyone earthbound is a distant memory
Is a distant memory
Is a distant memory, memory, memory….

Comatose In Grey
The lights are going out
On this dark and dreary town
The life has drained away
We’re all comatose in grey
The place we used to meet
Is now a ghostly street
Too many shops shut down
In this tired and weary town
Comatose in grey
Since you went away
Comatose in grey
So many towns look the same
Just a copy with another name
And the people spend every day
All comatose in grey
Comatose in grey
Since you went away
Comatose in grey
Flashing lights, coloured scenes
Now empty places and lonely teens
Busy pubs and drunken dreams
Seem long ago just memories
This place has changed and not for the good
I’d change it back……. If only I could
Comatose in grey
Since you went away
Comatose in grey

Run & Hide
See the sun through the haze
The smell of smoke and a blood red blaze
Like shadows falling on a cloudy day
My own true feelings slipping away….
Slipping away….
Stone grey walls come tumbling down
Dust and rubble lie on the ground
Masses huddle and sing their songs
The time has come to right some wrongs….
Right some wrongs….
Every time I heard you calling
It’s like my voice was snatched from me
And when I tried to stop you falling
All I could do was run away.....
They can run but they can’t hide
See the sun in winter time
Feel the clouds lift from my mind
Flames that burn all through the night
You can run or you can fight….
You can fight….

Last Days Of Freedom
These are the last days of freedom
These are the last days of freedom
These are the last days of freedom
You’ve gotta fight for the right
For your freedom
Give it back, give it back now
Give it back, give it back now
These are the last days of freedom
You’ve gotta fight for the right
For your freedom
Give it back, give it back now
Give it back, give it back now
You’ve gotta fight for the right
You’ve gotta fight for your freedom

Magnetism
You may fall from grace
And the fall will be hard
You may fall flat on your face
And get your reputation tarred
But you’ve got it all
Your looks and your seduction
You make men weak
They may look and they may crumble
You may fall from grace
And the fall will be hard
You may fall flat on your face
And get your reputation tarred
But then your magnet fails
Then you will stumble
But for now
You’ve got your magnetism

Phobia
Emptiness or happiness either way you’ve got to confess
You turned away to avoid your fate
And now you’re here it’s just too late
So don’t blame me just blame yourself
Your phobia is bad for your health
So look behind you in the shadows
And suburban houses in reflective rows phobia
I was so happy to see you
In your gold ford cortina
But all those paranoid ways
Made for lonely days
And I just don’t understand
When I held your hand
Why you couldn’t believe
And you had to deceive phobia, phobia, phobia
My electric dreams of sound and light
Are only here to serve you right
So don’t blame me if you hurt yourself
Now just go back to your empty shelf
And don’t blame me just blame yourself
Your phobia…. It’s bad your health
So look behind you in the shadows
And suburban house in reflective rows phobia

Comfort Zone
There’s a place where you can rest your soul
Your body and mind - it will keep you whole
Take some peace - rest your weary mind
Step out of the world - it’s time to unwind
In the comfort zone, the comfort zone
In the comfort zone, the comfort zone
Trust your will - you’re a survivor
You can take on all pressure - you’re a provider
There’s nothing to stop you
But your own self doubt
So hear what I say now and work it out
Now it’s up to you - let your mind run free
Sit right back and you will see
There’s a place where you can rest your soul
Your body and mind - it will keep you whole
In the comfort zone - the comfort zone
Welcome to the comfort zone
In the comfort zone - the comfort zone
But take good care in the comfort zone

1979
Woke up one day with sound waves in my head
The sound of something strange next to my bed
A different tune coming from the radio
Pulsing from the speaker - electro
It stayed in my head all through that long school day
Are friends electric is all we had to say
A man outside smoking a cigarette
A tubeway army marching in my head
It's 1979 again, 1979 again
Feels like 1979 again
It's 1979 again, 1979 again
It's just like 1979 again
