All Together

Stand up if you only want to belong
Shout out if you want to sing our song
Hands up if you want to come and stay
Come through if you want to pass this way
Stand up if you have something to share
Shout out if you want to look everywhere
Hands up if you have something to bring
Come through if you're only wandering
Come through and be part of a bigger crowd
Walk tall and spread the word around
Shout out if you're wanting to feel free
Stand up if you know who you want to be
Resident, immigrant, traveller, ex-patriate
Settler, civilian, tourist, citizen
All Together
One Together
All Together
One Together
Stand up if you want the fences to fall
Hands up if you want to break the walls
Come through if you want to move around
Walk tall and find some common ground
Stand up if you have nothing to lose
Shout out if you don't know which to choose
Look up and be where you can see
There with you and you're with me
Resident, immigrant, traveller, ex-patriate
Settler, civilian, tourist, citizen
Inhabitant, indigenous, native, occupant
Foreigner, alien, non-domicile, international
All Together
One Together
All Together
One Together

Desperation
06:16
|
|||
You
You were happy just to bide your time
Find a way for you to get in line
Detailing and creating your design
And then a sign that you
Were overtaken by the ones who stuck
To the formulas and by the book
Now your chancing all your time on luck
And now look
You're fired up and it's desperation now
All your time's up and it's desperation now
And it's desperation now
A side
Will say to always have some self belief
In what you do and what you want to achieve
Your head straight and your heart on your sleeve
And don't believe the ones
Who say to "always stick to what is in
And what is hip and what is happening
Play the game and only try to win"
Where've you been?
You're fired up and it's desperation now
All your time's up and it's desperation now
You're fired up and it's desperation now
All your time's up and it's desperation now
And it's desperation now
Now all the lenses turn around to you
Papers pick up everything you do
Even when you don't want them too
There's nothing new. You've found
Another avenue you could explore
Now you knock on everybody's door
Forgotten what it was you came here for
You want more
You're fired up and it's desperation now
All your time's up and it's desperation now
You're fired up and it's desperation now
All your time's up and it's desperation now
And it's desperation now

Anonymity
05:03
|
|||
You used to have your face seen inside every magazine
With everything you'd done that week
Popping up on every chat show, reality rodeo
Riding your winning streak
You were living a dream on the social scene
As the paps all snap away
And with a team in force who tell you what to endorse
And always what to say
We all know your name so much better now
We all know your name so much better now
And you gain applause all for a good cause
As you wait to pick up your fee
Baring all for the press when the day was a mess
Now you want anonymity
Too late to retreat and feel the world at your feet
When it's rolled on top of you
There were games you played and the tape you made
What were you gonna do?
We all know your name so much better now
We all know your name so much better now
Anonymity
Anonymity
Anonymity
Anonymity
We all know your name so much better now
We all know your name so much better now
We all know your name so much better now
We all know your name so much better now
You were never alone up there on your throne
With hangers on hand all day
You had a product line and a neon sign
That pointed them your way
With dedication to a congretation
Who were you going to make you a star
And a quest to reach and the world to teach
Who you really are

The Muse
04:34
|
|||
I lost my muse
I looked around but all I had I couldn't use
I lost my muse
Searching for an offer I would not refuse
It's all over now
A price I had to pay
The muse had gone away
A picture or a sound
A place to look around
A light to lead the way
I lost my muse
Standing in a line and waiting for my cues
I lost my muse
Throwing lines I've overplayed and overused
It's all over now
A price I had to pay
The muse had gone away
A moment to prepare
A feeling I could share
A place to hide away
I lost my muse
I looked around but all I had I couldn't use
I lost my muse
Taking time in justifying my excuse
It's all over now
And night becomes the day
The muse had gone away
A picture or a sound
Room to move around
A room where I can stay

Inspiration
04:16
|
|||
I'm losing myself again
I'm taking my time to find
A time and a place and then
Playing what's on my mind
Give it all up or give in
And do it all to please yourself
Dust off the plans you once had
Left upon the shelf
I'm looking for inspiration
And going out of my mind
Looking for a new vocation
Or an old one left behind
I'm losing myself again
Into what to say and how
Got all the time in the world
As long as you do it now
Speak it all up, listen out
For the why not and not why
Miss all the shots you don't take
It's always worth the try
I'm looking for inspiration
Going back to what I know
Searching for the motivation
New places I can go
You can spend the time looking forward
Never reach where you want to be
And take in what you have around you
Explore everything you see
I'm losing myself again

Do You Mind
05:52
|

They build their castle walls
And bleed you till you're dry
If they answered all your calls
They'd never tell you why
And when they play the spinning wheels
And take what they can grab
After they collect their fee
We all pick up the tab
Do you mind, do, do you mind
Do you mind, do, do you mind
Do you mind, do, do you mind
Do you mind, do, do you mind
And when the big guns come to play
And take you for a ride
Do you mind if they hide?
And when they tell you where to go
And what to do and say
Do you mind if they stay?
Do you mind, do, do you mind
Do you mind, do, do you mind
Do you mind, do, do you mind
Do you mind, do, do you mind
The stars shine from the stage
Telling us to dig in deep
While they're folding up their wage
They're singing you to sleep
They can buy and sell your time
Or cash in your worldly goods
Or keeping their feet dry
Between the droughts and floods
Do you mind, do, do you mind
Do you mind, do, do you mind
Do you mind, do, do you mind
Do you mind, do, do you mind
And when the headlines say to jump
Or we won't be part of the gang
Do you mind that they can
And when the big suits clear you out
With their pockets sinking deep
Do you mind how they sleep
Do you mind, do, do you mind
Do you mind, do, do you mind
Stringing up our limbs
Like we're office puppet toys
Working hard to tell the world
That they care for girls and boys
And they can cover up their ears
If you decide to make a noise
And when the big guns come to play
And take you for a ride
Do you mind if they hide
And when they tell you where to go
And what to do and say
Do you mind if they stay
And when the headlines to jump
Or we won't be part of the gang
Do you mind how they can
And when the big suits clear you out
With their pockets sinking deep
Do you mind how they sleep
Do you mind, do, do you mind
Do you mind, do, do you mind
Do you mind, do, do you mind
Do you mind, do, do you mind

The Clocks
08:46
|

I saw myself in '85
Full of life and full of drive
Young enough to feel alive
I saw myself in '85
Had all the time to create
As they tried to educate
I sat their in a shirt and tie
Watching every cloud go by
Saw so many avenues
Spent half the time trying to choose
I barely knew how to survive
I saw myself in '85
And how the time would slip away
How soon the night would turn to day
And days would wash out with the tide
The hourglass was in my hand
My head was buried in the sand
Inside the days and dreams I'd hide
I saw myself in '92
A slightly older point of view
In a place I hardly knew
And plenty things for me to do
Free to focus on a quest
To work and play and never rest
The visions may have been a stretch
And dreams that were too far to fetch
And how the months would disappear
Overlooked another year
Couldn't see the signs to read
Tried to think outside the box
I never noticed how the clocks
Would slowly seem to pick up speed
I saw myself in '99
Following another sign
Taken down a railway line
Working on a new design
Looking for an avenue
I lost myself and what to do
With all the faces I would see
In the places I could be
I tried to work out what to play
What to wear and what to say
I never knew what was best
And neither did all the rest

Connection
05:33
|
|||
A new routine applies
With the same old disguise
That you don every day
Information retrieved
As the news is received
And picked up on the way
You share all that you like
And you wait for the time
When they're all sharing you
But no matter how great
The little buzz you create
There's not enough you can do
So near and so far
And wherever you are
Will always feel close by
Check in and keep in touch
Doesn't cost you much
And stay warm and dry
Old friends come and go
And new ones you don't know
Are never far away
And all you virtually
Can see and hear you say
I only want to see you
I wanna to hear and be near you
Don't wanna let you go
And when we make a connection
I want to feel the affection
Of everyone I know
Revolutions appear
When there's a climate of fear
And keep us all entertained
Though you cause a commotion
It's a drop in the ocean
In the bigger frame
If you've got enough cash
You can buy up the trash
And keep playing the game
A new label and name
They can sell it again
You won't know it's the same
Always taking to heart
If you're never a part
Of a place and a time
You can create a face
To make up for the space
You can never design
Keeping up with the tech
You get the best you can get
To keep in with the crowd
Silently you can show
That you're shouting aloud
I only want to see you
I wanna hear and be near you
Don't want to let you go
And when we make a connection
I wanna feel the affection
Of everyone I know
Conversations and quips
Under your fingertips
And custom character traits
Across cities and towns
We're all sharing the sound
And the world it creates
We can all educate
Organise and create
Play and pass the time
Every voice can be heard
Everybody can shine
I only want to see you
I wanna hear and be near you
Don't wanna let you go
And when we make a connection
I wanna feel the affection
Of everyone I know

Live It Down
04:18
|

Free trading a nation
Pick a fight with the smallest kid on the block
Cheque cashed and we're wondering how they'll ever live it down
Living life in a cartoon
Acme bombs are spreading the word worldwide
Washing hands as they're paying someone else to live it down
I feel like
I'm feeling like I'd never live it down
I feel like
I'm feeling like I'd never live it down
Stepping onto the dancefloor
Got some moves and the shoes to match my strides
The crowd asks just exactly what the hell is going down
More pop songs pending
All the plastic branding is melting away
A wrong move and a slip up before you're going down
I feel like
I'm feeling like I'd never live it down
I feel like
I'm feeling like I'd never live it down
Some motivation and a little direction
Cause a stir or win some affection
Take a chance or play it safe
Clear perspective or bind faith
I feel like
I'm feeling like I'd never live it down
I feel like
I'm feeling like I'd never live it down

Getaway
03:35
|
|||
You lost your sense of reason
To which you were tied
And then a change of season
When all the flowers died
Hard rain approaching
You still look for the sun
Before you've begun
You can't getaway
You won't runaway
You leave Saturday
Come back on a Sunday night
You can't getaway
You won't runaway
You leave Saturday
Come back on a Sunday night
You come back on a Sunday night
Where's your sense of adventure
Have you thrown it away?
Cut down by a censor
You're now a Sunday matinee
Wallpaper peeling
You would once ignore
Until it starts revealing
What was there before
You can't getaway
You won't runaway
You leave Saturday
Come back on a Sunday night
You can't getaway
You won't runaway
You leave Saturday
Come back on a Sunday night
You come back on a Sunday night
