1. I Will Follow

I will follow...

I was on the outside when you said
You said you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind, I could not see

A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by his hand
If he stops to think he starts to cry
Oh why

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...I will follow

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...I will follow

I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found

Walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...I will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway,
I walkaway, walkaway...I will follow
I will follow

Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there
Your eyes, your eyes...

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway..I will follow

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...I will follow

I will follow
I will follow...

2. Twilight

I look into his eyes
They're closed but I see something
A teacher told me why
I laugh when old men cry

My body grows and grows
It frightens me you know
The old man tried to walk me home
I thought he should have known

Twilight...
Twilight, lost my way
Twilight, can't find my way

In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man

I'm running in the rain
I'm caught in a late night play
It's all; it's everything
I'm soaking through the skin

Twilight...darkened day
Twilight...lost my way
Twilight...night and day
Twilight...can't find my way

Can't find your way
Can't find my way
Can't find your way

Twilight...darkened day
Twilight...lost my way
Twilight...night and day
Twilight...can't find my way

In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man

3. An Cat Dubh

Say goodnight
She waits for me to
Put out the light
Lay there still
She waits to break my will

Yes, if I know the truth
How 'bout you...

And in the daylight
A blackbird makes a violent sight
And when she is done
She sleeps beside the wild

Yes, If I know the truth
How 'bout you...

Back to the top



4. Into the Heart

Into the heart...of a child
I stay a while...oh, I can go back

Into the heart...of a child
I can smile
I can go there

Into the heart
Into the heart of a child
I can go back
I can stay awhile

Into the heart...

Back to the top



5. Out of Control

Monday morning
Eighteen years of dawning
I say how long
You say how long

It was one dull morning
Woke the world with falling
I was so sad (so sad)
It was so bad

I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control

Boys and Girls
Go to the school and girls
They make children
Not like this one

I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control

I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control

(Out of control)

I fought fate
There's blood on the garden gate
The man says childhood,
It's in his childhood

One day I'll die
The choice will not be mine
Will it be too late
You can't fight it

I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control

6. Stories for Boys

There's a place I go
And I am far away
There's a TV show
And I can grow

Sometimes the hero takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello hello

There's a picture book
With colored photographs
There's a comic strip
That makes me laugh

Sometimes the lady takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello hello

Stories for boys...stories for boys
Stories for boys...stories for boys
Stories for boys...

There's a place I go
And it's a part of me
There's a radio
And I will crawl

Sometimes the hero takes me
Sometimes I can't let go
Hello hello

Stories for boys...

7. The Ocean

A picture in grey
Dorian Gray
Just me by the sea

And I felt like a star
I felt the world could go far
If they listened
To what I said

Washes my feet
Washed the feet
Splashes the sole of my shoes

Back to the top



8. A Day Without Me

Starting a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside
To the world I left behind

I'm dreaming
You're awake
If I were sleeping
What's at stake
A day without me

Whatever the feelings
I keep feeling
What are the feelings
You left behind

Today's a day without me

I started a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside
To the world I left behind

In the world I left behind
Wipe their eyes, and then let go
To the world I left behind
Shed a tear, and then let go...

Back to the top



9. Another Time, Another Place

Bright morning lights
Wipe the sleep from another day's eye
Turn away from the wall
And there's Nothing at all
Being naked and afraid
In the open space of my bed

I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
Real life on a cloud
Real life...

Just as I am
I awoke with a tear on my tongue
I awoke with a feeling of never before
In my sleep I discover the one
But she ran with the morning sun

I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
Real life on a cloud
Real life...
Another time, another place
Real life...
Another child has lost the race
Real life...
Another time, another place
Real life...
Your time, your price

Real life...
Another time, another place
Real life...
Another child has lost...

[Gaelic words...]

Real life...
Another time, another place
Real life...
Your time, your price

10. The Electric Co.

Boy, stupid boy
Don't sit at the table
Until you're able to

Toy, broken toy
Shout shout
You're inside out

If you don't know...Electric co.
If you don't know...Electric co.

Red, running red
Play for real
The toy could feel
A hole in your head
You go in shock
You're spoon-fed

If you don't know...Electric co.
If you don't know...Electric co.

One two three four...

If you don't know...Electric co.
[Repeat 6 times]

Just to hear me

I've found me way home

Back to the top



11. Shadows and Tall Trees

Back to the cold restless streets at night
I talk to myself about tomorrow night
Walls of white protest
A gravestone in name
Who is it now
It's always the same

Who is it now
Who calls me inside
Are the leaves on the trees
Just living disguise
I walk sweet rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again
to the street melody

But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know...

Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees

Life through a window
Discolored pain
Mrs. Brown's washing is always the same
I walk street rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again
to the street melody

But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know...

(Out there)

Do you feel in me...
Anything redeeming
Any worthwhile feeling
Is love like a tightrope
Hanging from the ceiling

But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know...

Shadows and Tall Trees...

Songs Included as B-Sides


A. Another Day

Wake up
The toll of another dull day
Shake up
Your dreams head on your way
Oh oh ooh

Daylight
Mother stands in the hall
Last night
Head against the wall
Oh oh ooh

When night turns to day
And the children come out to play
Another day

Stop, shake out
They came my way
Oh oh ooh...

Boy, salute in a street uniform
Toy, soldier ripped and torn
Oh oh ooh

When night turns to day
And the children come out to play
Another day

Stop, shout
They came my way
Oh oh ooh

Back to the top



2. Boy-Girl

Boy-girl, boy-girl
When a boy meets a girl
Boy-girl

Finding out
I'm finding out the things
That I've been talking about
I'm finding all the things
That I've been missing out
Finding all the things
I lose my mind
Sometimes fall behind

You and I reelin' on the big ship
And time goes by
You make up and I believe a lady's lie
The skinheads call it strawberries and cream
Sometimes icecream

Boy-girl, boy-girl
When a boy meets a girl
Boy-girl

We go out
A picture or a disco or a roundabout
I walk you home, I hold you there
You're giving out
I open doors so I can shut your face
Know your place

Boy-girl, boy-girl
When a boy meets a girl
Boy-girl

You can take me in your hands
Stand by dreams wheel, come on
Up and down and all around
You will sideways view the ground

Boy-girl, boy-girl
When a boy meets a girl
[Repeat until end]

3. 11 O'Clock Tick Tock

(11 O'Clock...Tick...Tock)

(One! Two! Three! Four!)

It's cold outside
It gets so hot in here
The boys and girls collide
To The music in my ear

I hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying
Oh take me home

A painted face
And I know we haven't long
We thought that we had the answers
It was the questions we had wrong

I hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying
Take me home

Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song

La lah la lah...La lah la lah...La lah lah...
[Repeat 4x]

Sad song, sad song

(Reach out to someone, and somebodies)
(Reach out!)

(Wake up!)

La la la lah...lah, la la la...
[Repeat 8 times]

4. Fire

Falling falling
The sun is burning black
Falling falling
It's beating on my back
With a fire
With a fire

Falling falling
The moon is running red
Falling falling
It's pulling me instead
With a fire
Fire

But there's a fire inside
When I'm falling over
There's a fire in me
When I call out
I built a fire
I'm going home

Falling falling
The stars are falling down
Falling falling
They knock me to the ground
With a fire
Fire

But there's a fire inside
When I'm falling over
There's a fire in me
When I call out
There's a fire inside
When I'm falling over
I feel the fire
I'm going home

Back to the top



5. Touch

Thank you
Don't mention it
I'm pleased to meet you
Don't think I'm very good at this
Let me show

I don't wanna know
I just wanna go (down)

F-f-falling...the world is by your side
Falling...did you find a place to hide

I just wanna know
I just wanna go

T-t-touching you
T-t-touching you
T-t-touching you

She said, the twenty second floor
But I said, I can't think what it's for

I just wanna know
I don't wanna go

T-t-touching you
T-t-touching you
T-t-touching you

I'm t-t-touching you
T-t-touching you
T-t-touching you

T-t-touching you
