Shirnetto ya kage ga ka ku mei o miteiru

Nani ga okkote iru ka wakara nai

The vacuum created by the arrival of
freedom
And the possibilities it seems to offer
It's got nothing to do with you
If one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you
If one can grasp it
A series of shocks - sneakers fall aart
Earth keeps on rolling - witnesses falling
It's got nothing to do with you
If one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you
If one can grasp it
Yea Yea Yea - up the hill backwards
It'll be alright ooo-ooo

While we sleep they go to work
We're legally crippled it's the death of love
It's got nothing to do with you
If one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you
If one can grasp it
More idols thean realities
I'm OK - you're so-so
It's got nothing to do with you
If one can grasp it
Yea Yea Yea - up the hill backwards
It'll be alright ooo-ooo

She had an horror of rooms she was tired
you can't hide beat
And when I looked in her eyes they were
blue
but nobody home
She could've been a killer if she didn't walk
the way she do
She opened strange doors that
we'd never close again

She began to wail jealousies scream
Waiting at the light know what I mean

Scary monsters supercreeps keep me
running scared
Scary monsters supercreeps keep me
running scared

She asked me to stay and I stole her room
She asked for my love and
I gave her a dangerous mind
Now she's stupid in the street
and she can't socialise
Well I love the little girl and
I'll love her till the day she dies

Jimmy's guitar sound jealousies scream
Waiting at the light know what I mean

Scary monsters supercreeps
keep me running running scared

Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true
They got a message from the Action Man
I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed to love
Sordid details following

The shrieking of nothing is killing me
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis
And I ain't got no money and I ain't got no
hair
But the planet is glowing

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Hung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
I'm happy hope you're happy too
One flash of light but no smoking pistol
I've never done good things
I've never done bad things
I've never did anything out of the blue
I want an axe to break the ice
I want to come down right now

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Hung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

There's a brand new dance
But I don't know its name
That people from bad homes
Do again and again
It's big and it's bland
Full of tension and fear
They do it over there
But we don't do it here

Fashion - Turn to the left
Fashion - Turn to the right
We are the goon squad
And we're coming to town
Beep-Beep - Beep-Beep

Listen to me - don't listen to me
Talk to me - don't talk to me
Dance with me - don't dance with me
No - Beep-Beep - Beep-Beep

There's a brand new talk,
But it's not very clear
That people from good homes
Are talking this year
It's loud and it's tasteless
I've not heard it before
Shout it while you're dancing
On the - er dance floor

Fashion - Turn to the left
Fashion - Turn to the right
We are the goon squad
And we're coming to town
Beep-Beep - Beep-Beep

Listen to me - don't listen to me
Talk to me - don't talk to me
Dance with me - don't dance with me
No Beep-Beep - Beep-Beep

Ooop bop - do do do do do do do do
Fa fa fa fa - Fashion

How come you only want tomorrow
With its promise of something hard to do
A real life adventure worth more than
pieces of gold
Blue skies above and
sun on your arms strength in your stride
And hope in those squeaky clean eyes
You'll get chilly receptions everywhere you
go
Blinded with desire guess the season is on

So you train by shadow boxing, search for
the truth
But it's all used up
You break open your million dollar weapon
Still you push your luck
A broken nosed mogul are you
One of the new wave boys
Same old thing in brand new drag
Comes sweeping into view
As ugly as a teenage millionaire
Pretending it's a whizz kid world
And you'll take me aside
And say
David, what shall I do?
They wait for me in the hallway
I'll say don't ask me I don't know any
hallways
But they move in numbers and
they've got me in a corner
I feel like a group of one
They can't do this to me
I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife

Those midwives to history put on their
bloody robes
The word is that the hunted one is out there
on his own
You're alone for maybe the last time
And you breathe for a long time
Then you howl like a wolf in a trap
And you daren't look behind
You to fall to the ground like a leaf from the
tree
And look up one time at that vast blue sky
Scream out aloud as they shooece of teenage wildlife
I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife

And no one will have seen and no one will
confess
Fingerprints will prove that you coudn't pass
the test
There'll be others on the line filing past
Who'll whisper low
I miss you he had to go
Each to his own
Just another piece of teenage wildlife

Well I wouldn't buy the merchandise
And I wouldn't fight no war
And I mixed with other colours
But the nurse don't care
And I hide under blankets
Or did I run away
I really can't remember
Last time I saw the light of day

But I remember Sam 'cause he was like me


Scream like a baby
Sam was a gun
But I never knew his last name
And we never had no fun

They came down hard on the faggots
They came down hard on the street
They came down harder on Sam
And we all knew he was beat

Thrown into the wagon
Blindfold chains and stomped on us
Took away our clothes and things
Pumped us full of strange drugs

And oh I saw Sam talking
Spitting in their eyes
But now I lay me down to sleep
But now I close my eyes
And now I'm learning to be a part of society

Scream like a baby
Sam was a gun
But I never knew his last name
And we never had no fun

No athletic program, no discipline, no book
He just sat in the back seat
Swearing he'd seek revenge
But he jumped into the furnace
Singing old songs we loved

Scream like a baby
Sam was a gun
But I never knew his last name
And we never had no fun

Well I walked in the pouring rain
And I heard the voice that cries ifs all in vain
The face of doom was shining in my room
I just need one day somewhere far away
Lord I just need one day

Well I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comes
And cuttin' this hay until the Kingdom comes
Yes I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comes
It's my price to pay until the Kingdom comes

The river's so muddy but it may come clear
And I know too well what's keeping me here
I'm just the slave of a burning ray
Give me the night I can't take another sight

Please give me the night
Well I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comes
And cuttin' this hay until the Kingdom comes
Yes I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comes
It's my price to pay until the Kingdom comes

The sun keeps beating down the wall's a mile high
Up in the towers they're watching me hoping I'm gonna die
But they open these cells when the Kingdom comes
I won't be breaking no rocks when the Kingdom comes
Yes they'll open these cells when the Kingdom comes
I won't hear their talk when the Kingdom comes
I'm going up for pardon when the Kingdom comes
Well pardon me when the Kingdom comes

I won't be breaking no rock
I won't be breaking no rock
I won't be breaking no rock
When the Kingdom comes

Psychodelicate girl - come out to play
Little metal faced boy - don't stay away
He's so war torn and resigned -
she can't take any more
What are they trying to prove -
what are they hoping to find?

It's love back to front and no sides - like I
say
These pieces are broken - like I say
These pieces are broken
Hope I'm wrong but I know

Because you're young
You'll meet a stranger some night
Because you're young
What could be nicer for you
And it makes me sad
So I'll dance my life away
A million dreams
A million scars

He punishes hard - was loving her such a
crime
She took back everything she said
Left him nearly out of his mind
They're people I know - people I love
They seem so unhappy - dead or alive

It's love back to front and no sides - like I
say
These pieces are broken - like I say
These pieces are broken
Hope I'm wrong but I know

Because you're young
You'll meet a stranger some night
Because you're young
What could be nicer for you
And it makes me sad
So I'll dance my life away
A million dreams
A million scars

Silhouettes and shadows watch the revolution
No more free steps to heaven
Just walkie-talkie - heaven or hearth
Just big heads and drums - full speed and pagan
And it's no game

I am barred from the event
I really don't understand the situation
So where's the moral
People have their fingers broken
To be insulted by these fascists it's so degrading
And it's no game

Documentaries on refugees, couples 'gainst the target
Throw a rock against the road, and it breaks into pieces
Draw the blinds on yesterday, and it's all so much scarier
Put a bullet in my brain, and it makes all the papers

And it's no game

Children round the world, put camel shit on the walls
They're making carpets on treadmills, or garbage sorting

And it's no game

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you

(spoken)
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows"

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

"Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."

He looked a lot like Che Guevara, drove a diesel van
Kept his gun in quiet seclusion, such a humble man
The only survivor of the National People's Gang
Panic in Detroit, I asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home, I wish someone would phone
Panic in Detroit

He laughed at accidental sirens that broke the evening gloom
The police had warned of repercussions
They followed none too soon
A trickle of strangers were all that were left alive
Panic in Detroit, I asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home, I wish someone would phone
Panic in Detroit

Putting on some clothes I made my way to school
And I found my teacher crouching in his overalls
I screamed and ran to smash my favourite slot machine
And jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights

Having scored a trillion dollars, made a run back home
Found him slumped across the table. A gun and me alone
I ran to the window. Looked for a plane or two
Panic in Detroit. He'd left me an autograph
"Let me collect dust." I wish someone would phone
Panic in Detroit
