I’m always treading on dangerous ground
And everything seems to be upside down
Are you practicing for judgment day?
Or do you really mean those things you say?

Day after day, night after night
There’s a panic in this heart of mine
Day after day, night after night
I’m looking for something that’s just too hard to find

I’m not the man you wanted me to beHe’s kept alive inside your fantasyBut now the magic me is fading fastLet me remind you of the face behind the mask

Day after day, night after night
There’s a panic in this heart of mine
Day after day, night after night
I’m looking for something that’s just too hard to find

Can’t you see there’s just no promised land, doesn’t happen that way
I hope you’ll try and understand there’s nothing I can do or say

Day after day, night after night
There’s a panic in this heart of mine
Day after day, night after night
I’m looking for something that’s just too hard to find

“Future Days” by Thompson Twins.

HERE’S TO FUTURE DAYS (OH FUTURE DAYS)
HERE’S TO FUTURE DAYS (OH OH)

I’m sick and tired of repeating history
Of waving flags that don’t mean much to me
Black versus white, women versus men
The power of the dollar and the price of yen
I’m sick and tired of paying for the sins
Of fathers and the mothers and the pushers and the shovers
But most of all the Lord about us
Who made this stupid mess we’re in

HERE’S TO FUTURE DAYS (OH FUTURE DAYS)
HERE’S TO FUTURE DAYS (OH OH)

We have a vision of a better time
Where we all live in grace and pride
And everyone will have their say
And know they’re part of the future way
We have a dream of heaven on earth
Where we all work together and know our worth
Where joy and laughter and love and affection
Will keep us movin’ in the right direction

HERE’S TO FUTURE DAYS (OH FUTURE DAYS)
HERE’S TO FUTURE DAYS (OH OH)

“Roll Over” by Thompson Twins.

Father John and his keep
Preachin’ to the women on the easy street for free
Roll over again (give me drum)
Through the years
Plying his trade
Looking for heaven on a silver plate
Roll over again
If only he knew it didn’t have to be that way
Oh, the promised land
is just another slice of the cake

Round and round,
It’s always round and round we go (round and round we go)
Yeah, where it leads us
Nobody knows (nobody) No, no,
Dance and dance
Why must we dance our lives away (dance our lives away)
How much it bleeds us
No-one can say (say say say say)

Jezebel made her way,
Sliding around on dirty sheets all day
So roll over again (1,2, 3, 4)
She lived for years
With the fear
That real true love might never come her way
Roll over again

If only she knew it didn’t have to be that way
Yeah, if true romance
was just another slice of the cake

You and me,
Chasing dreams
We can’t see the forest for the trees
We roll over again (yeah)
You and me
Dance so well
Just like John and Jezebel
We roll over again (whoa-oh-oh-oh, let’s dance!)

No one can say

“Love Is The Law” by Thompson Twins.

Have you heard that

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IS THE LAW
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT LOVE IS THE LAW

People fighting in the name of freedom
Sometimes I wonder if we really need them
Have you heard the rumor going round
There’s gonna be big changes in this town
And there’ll be no more fighting, no more fuss
You’d better listen to us
Have you heard that

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IS THE LAW
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT LOVE IS THE LAW

Fighting in the name of religion
Another senseless contradiction
So when you feel like getting rough ‘n’ tough
Remember no excuse is good enough
You better start giving more than you take
Or something just might break
Have you heard that

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IS THE LAW
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT LOVE IS THE LAW

Fighting to prevent a war
Why should we do it anymore
I know we can live here side by side
Not just a few in front and most behind
This world is big enough for everyone
C’mon let’s have some fun
Have you heard that

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IS THE LAW
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT LOVE IS THE LAW

“Emperor’s Clothes (Part 1)” by Thompson Twins.

I feel rain slither down
In a hot desert sky
And when I, when I touch you
I’m left wondering why, why, why
I dream

THERE’S NO HEAVEN ABOVE (THERE’S NO HEAVEN)
THERE’S NO HELL DOWN BELOW (THERE’S NO HELL DOWN BELOW)
JUST INVISIBLE MEN
IN THE EMPEROR’S CLOTHES

I see my dear clown
And she’s draped in silk gowns
And we both, we both laugh
As we tumble down, down, down
You dream

THERE’S NO HEAVEN ABOVE (THERE’S NO HEAVEN)
THERE’S NO HELL DOWN BELOW (THERE’S NO HELL DOWN BELOW)
JUST INVISIBLE MEN
IN THE EMPEROR’S CLOTHES

There is no time for crying
Because the time waltzes by
And we twirl and we touch
And we both know why, why, why
We dream

THERE’S NO HEAVEN ABOVE (THERE’S NO HEAVEN)
THERE’S NO HELL DOWN BELOW (THERE’S NO HELL DOWN BELOW)
JUST INVISIBLE MEN
IN THE EMPEROR’S CLOTHES

“Armageddon Days Are Here (Again)” by The The.

Listen to this Song!

They’re 5 miles high as the crow flies
leavin’ vapour trails against a blood red sky
Movin’ in from the East toward the West
with Balaclava helmets over their heads, yes!

But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Honey you’ve got another thing coming
If he ever finds out who’s hi-jacked his name
He’ll cut out his heart and turn in his grave

Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on its elbows and knees
It’s forgotten the message and worships the creeds

It’s war, she cried, It’s war, she cried, this is war
Drop your possessions, all you simple folk
You will fight them on the beaches in your underclothes
You will thank the good lord for raising the union jack
You’ll watch the ships out of harbour
and the bodies come floating back

If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today
He’d be gunned down by the C.I.A.
Oh, the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass
Will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart
But God didn’t build himself that throne
God doesn’t live in Israel or Rome
God belong to the yankee dollar
God doesn’t plant the bombs for Hezbollah
God doesn’t even go to church
And God won’t send us down to Allah to burn
No, God will remind us what we already know
That the human race is about to reap what it’s sown

The world is on its elbows and knees
It’s forgotten the message and worships the creeds
Armageddon days are here again

“Religion” by Ten Years After.

I never really understood religion
Except it seems a good excuse to kill
I never really could make a decision
I don’t suppose I ever really will

I can’t relate to any power structure
Where ego is the driving energy
I let mine go a long, long time ago, now
When I decided that I would be free

Only thing I understand is living
The biggest sacrifice to make is death
Once you’re dead, there’s noting left for giving
Life means fighting your every breath

“God’s Mistake” by Tears For Fears.

Listen to this Song!

Have a friend, calls me up
Says hello, then hangs up
He must have read my mind
These are the days of a different paradigm
Maybe once, even twice
He said, “God does not play with dice”
Yet if he’s everywhere
He’s in casinos with aces to spare

Oh, love is God’s mistake
Oh, love is God’s mistake

Ours is not to reason why
As we fall from way up high
Into the water
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Even now, God’s mistake
Sets us up for one more heartbreak
God you look mighty fine
Dressed as the devil in cosmic pantomime

Oh, love is God’s mistake
Oh, love is God’s mistake
Never was so much at stake
Oh, love is God’s mistake

“Don’t Drink The Water” by Tears For Fears.

Listen to this Song!

This is a religion
No, this is a drag
That man over there is smoking sweet cigarettes
Hey look at that fag!

I had a dream
I saw you swim
Sink to your grave
Down to Davy Jone’s locker
Under the waves
Don’t say, “Thank God for simple truths”

Take me to your leader
Take me for a ride
The shutters were never open
The days I used to hide
All of the things
I never knew
I should have said
When you looked life Frida Kahlo
Curled up in bed
Don’t say, “Thank God for simple truths”
Don’t drink the water, baby
Don’t drink the water, baby

So much emotion, these eyes a strange kind of blue
Deep as the ocean, they name a sea after you
Don’t say, “Thank God for simple truths”

Don’t drink the water, baby
Don’t drink the water, baby
Don’t drink the water, baby
Don’t drink the water, baby

“Mr. Pessimist” by Tears For Fears.

Listen to this Song!

Time will swallow
Your precious Time
Like magic create the future

What makes a man so fickle?
Who put the daggers in those eyes?
Was it to learn
Through dark days of struggle?

Was it to burn
To burst all our bubbles?
Thunder and rain
Well the cynical flame will it heat, stick, and blister?
Thunder and rain

Evangelistic brother
Should be banging a tambourine
Go wash your hands and fingers
Till your mind is clean

Was it your fate
To sleep like a normal?
Time and decay
No man is immortal
Thunder and rain
Boredom and pain lit the cynical flame
Will it head, stick, and blister?
Thunder and rain
Still try to resist the pessimist
The pessimist no no

And these things I find
In the back of my mind
Where time lasts forever
I get all mixed up
Think I’m all mankind

Listen Mr. Pessimister
With your Catholic taste
Oh listen Mr. Pessimister Pessimister
We do not relate
Listen Mr. Pessimister Pessimister Pessimister
Mr. Pessimister

“God Made Me” by Sundays, The.

Listen to this Song!

Looking for an insult there’s a trickle in my head
Seeing it’s worth the effort I forgive myself
Talks that we had are becoming a blur
If only I could love my neighbor

Waiting here for the next time with a bottle in my hand
Doing it for the exercise I forget myself
The face that you had is becoming a blur
But how was I supposed to know that?

Because God made me
That’s all they told me before
And how about you?

And it’s off to work we go now you can forget about
A labor of love
It just won’t wash anymore
We’d love to be good but we’d rather be bad
But how was I supposed to know that?

Because God made me
That’s all they told me before
And how about you?
Because God made people
That was the luck of the draw
We do what we want

God made me
That’s all they told me before
Who knows what they’ll say today?
Because God made me for his sins
Imagine my eyes when I first saw
We can do what we want

How could I know?
How could I know about it?
