SAILING
ON THE SEVEN SEAS
Musik
& Text: OMD / Kershaw
published by EMI/Virgin Music Publishing
Ltd.
You say that love will capture me
But not unless you give it free
We're sailing on the seven seas
Sister Ray is on TV
The light of love that shines so bright
That the F.B.I won't sleep tonight
Because I'm so in awe of you
That I don't know what to do
And I'm sailing on the seven seas so blue
Sick and tired and I don't know why
Skin and bone won't touch the sky
Sex and lies can't bring me down
Because I've sold my soul all over town
Because I'm so in awe of you
That I don't know what to do
And I'm sailing on the seven seas so blue
People try and drag us down
So we learn to swim before we drown
Because I'm so in awe of you
That I don't know what to do
And I'm sailing on the seven seas so blue
And I’m so in awe of you
That I don't know what to do
And I'm sailing on tThe seven seas so blue
SEGELN
AUF DEN SIEBEN WELTMEEREN
Du sagst, dass die
Liebe mich erobern wird
Aber nicht ohne daß du sie frei gibst
Wir
segeln auf den sieben Weltmeeren
Schwester Ray ist im Fernsehen
Das Licht der Liebe, welches so hell scheint
Dass das F.B.I. heute Nacht nicht schlafen wird
Denn ich habe solche
Ehrfurcht vor dir
Dass ich nicht weiß, was zu tun ist
Und ich segele auf den sieben Weltmeeren, so traurig
Krank und müde und ich weißt nicht, warum
Haut und Knochen werden den Himmel nicht berühren
Sex und Lügen können mich nicht zu Fall bringen
Denn ich verkaufte meine Seele in der ganzen Stadt
Denn ich habe solche
Ehrfurcht vor dir
Dass ich nicht weiß, was zu tun ist
Und ich segele auf den sieben Weltmeeren, so traurig
Leute versuchen es und ziehen uns in den Schmutz
Also lernen wir zu schwimmen, bevor wir ertrinken
Denn ich habe solche
Ehrfurcht vor dir
Dass ich nicht weiß, was zu tun ist
Und ich segele auf den sieben Weltmeeren, so traurig
Denn ich habe solche
Ehrfurcht vor dir
Dass ich nicht weiß, was zu tun ist
Und ich segele auf den sieben Weltmeeren, so traurig

PANDORA'S
BOX
Musik
& Text: McCluskey
published by EMI/Virgin Music Publishing
Ltd.
Born in Kansas
On an ordinary plain
Ran to New York
But ran away from fame
Only seventeen
When all your dreams came true
But all you wanted
was someone
To undress you
And all the stars you kissed
Could never ease the pain
Still the grace remains
And though the face has changed
You're still the same
And it's a long long way
(long way)
From where you want to be
And it's a long long way
(to long)
But you're to blind to see
Frame of silence
Of an innocence divine
Is a dangerous creation
When you fail the test of time
And all the photographs
Of ghosts of long ago
Still they hurt you so
Won't let you go
And you still don't know
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long way
But you're to blind to see
When you look around yourself now
Do you recognize the girl
The one who broke a thousand hearts
Terrified the world
And all the stars you kissed
Could never ease the pain
And if the face has changed
The grace remains
And you're still the same
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long way
But you're to blind to see....
DIE
BÜCHSE DER PANDORA
Geboren
in Kansas
Im ganz normalen Flachland
Rannte nach New York
Aber rannte vom Ruhm fort
Erst siebzehn
Als all deine Träume wahr wurden
Aber alles, was du wolltest
war jemand,
der dich auszieht
Und all die Sternchen, die du küsstest
Könnten niemals den Schmerz lindern
Die Anmut bleibt immer noch übrig
Und obwohl sich das Gesicht verändert hat
Bist du immer noch die selbe
Und es ist ein langer, langer Weg
(weiter Weg)
Von dort, wo du sein willst
Und es ist ein langer, langer Weg (zu lang)
Aber du bist zu blind, um es zu sehen
Eine
Form der Stille
Einer göttlichen Unschuld
Ist eine gefährliche Schöpfung
Wenn du im Test der Zeit durchfällst
Und all die Fotos
Von Geistern von lange her
Immer noch verletzen sie dich so
Werden dich nicht gehen lassen
Und du weißt es noch immer nicht
Und es ist ein langer, langer Weg
(weiter Weg)
Von dort, wo du sein willst
Und es ist ein langer, langer Weg (zu lang)
Aber du bist zu blind, um es zu sehen
Wenn du dich nun um dich herum umschaust
Erkennst du das Mädchen wieder
Diejenige, die tausende
von Herzen gebrochen hat
Der Welt schreckliche Angst einjagte
Und all die Sternchen, die du küsstest
Könnten niemals den Schmerz lindern
Die Anmut bleibt immer noch übrig
Und obwohl sich das Gesicht verändert hat
Bist du immer noch die selbe
Und es ist ein langer, langer Weg
(weiter Weg)
Von dort, wo du sein willst
Und es ist ein langer, langer Weg (zu lang)
Aber du bist zu blind, um es zu sehen

THEN
YOU TURN AWAY

I didn't want to see you
Not when you're at your best
And talk about the weather
I couldn't pass the test
So many things I do
So many things I say
Give you the wrong idea
So many things I do
So many things I say
Just make a fool of me
Then you turn away
Then you turn away
I couldn't help but call you
I waited almost all the week
I didn't want to hear you
Laughing aloud at me
So many things I do
So many things I say
Give you the wrong idea
So many things I do
So many things I say
Just make a fool of me
Then you turn away
Then you turn away
There's people saying that it's obvious
That I'm wasting my time on you
And people saying that it's obvious
That I've fallen in love, it's not true
So many things I do
So many things I say
Give you the wrong idea
So many things I do
So many things I say
Just make a fool of me
Then you turn away
Then you turn away

SPEED
OF LIGHT
Musik
& Text: McCluskey
published by EMI/Virgin Music Publishing
Ltd.
The speed of light slows down
As the feather hits the ground
And if nothing else gets proved
It's always faster than it sounds
A star that shines so bright
Would be eclipsed tonight
When you kiss the satellite
Because there was always you
And you alone believed
that light could bend this way
It don't seem right to spend tonight
as I did today
If I had known that you would call
If I could dream that you would fall
If I could change these wrongs to right
I would have stayed at home tonight
There’s nothing you can do
To make this all brand new
And nothing you can say
To make it go away
You've never been so wrong
So how can you act strong
When a fall from grace so hard
Should never take so long
And sat goodbye as you did today
If I had known that you would call
If I could dream that you would fall
If I could change these wrongs to right
I would have stayed at home tonight
So the speed of light remains
Ever constantly the same
Again tonight as it today
If I had known that you would call
If I could dream that you would fall
If I could change these wrongs to right
I would have stayed at home tonight
If I had known that you would call
If I could dream that you would fall
If I could change these wrongs to right
I would have stayed at home tonight

WAS
IT SOMETHING I SAID

published by EMI/Virgin Music Publishing

Was it something I said
Or something you read
Is changing your mind
Is turning you around
Is somebody wrong
and somebody right
What was it made up your mind
What could change overnight
And if all of your friends
Who used to be mine
Come down off the fence
And swear that you're fine
I can hate you no more
I can't even the score
Almost half of my life
Just fell right on the floor
Don't you come round here no more
Don't you waste my time
Don't you dare to phone me
Don't you
even have me on your mind
Was there someone you know
Who won't let you go
Their pushing you under
and bleeding you slow
They don't want your time
They won't give you mine
Their hands in your pocket
And your heart's on the line
I'm know I'm not perfect
I wanted to be
I have this big mouth
It always contradicts me
You say you don't know
I say anything goes
But if you think it's over
then this you should know
Don't you come round here no more
Don't you waste my time
Don't you dare to phone me
Don't even have me on your mind
Was it something I said
Or something you read
Is changing your mind
Is turning you around
Is somebody wrongand somebody right
What was it made up your mind
What could change overnight
Was it something I said
Or something you read
Is changing your mind
Is turning you around
WAR
ES ETWAS DAS ICH SAGTE?
War
es etwas das ich sagte
oder etwas das du gelesen hast
Deine
Meinung geändert hat
dich zum umschwenken veranlasst hat
Ist
jemand falsch, ist jemand richtig
Was war es, das deine Meinung
über
Nacht beinflussen konnte
Und alle deine Freunde,
an die
auch ich mich gewöhnt hatte
Kommen hinter ihrer neutralen Haltung
hervor
Und schwören, das es dir gutgeht
Ich kann dich nicht
mehr hassen,
ich kann nicht die Rechnung begleichen
Beinahe
die Hälfte meines Lebens
liegt jetzt am Boden
Willst
du nicht weiterhin hier vorbeikommen?
Willst du nicht meine Zeit
verschwenden?
Traust du dich nicht mich anzurufen?
Willst
du mich jetzt aus deinem Gedächtnis streichen?
War es jemand
den du kennst
der dich nicht gehen lassen will
Die dich unterdrücken
wollen
und deine Seele bluten lassen
Sie wollen nicht deine
Zeit,
sie wollen dich nur nicht mir überlassen
In deinen Taschen
wühlen
und dein Herz an der Leine führen
Ich weiß,
ich bin nicht so perfekt
wie ich das gerne wäre
Ich habe dieses
große Mundwerk
Es verwickelt mich andauernd in Widersprüche
Du
sagt du weißt es nicht,
ich sage das alles möglich ist
Aber
wenn du denkst es ist vorbei
dann ist dies hier was du wissen
sollst
Willst du nicht weiterhin hier vorbeikommen?
Willst
du nicht meine Zeit verschwenden?
Traust du dich nicht mich anzurufen?
Willst
du mich jetzt aus deinem Gedächtnis streichen?
War es etwas

BIG
TOWN
Musik
& Text: McCluskey
published by EMI/Virgin Music Publishing
Ltd.
I discovered a big town
On the crest of a wave
Throwing money at strangers
Taking candy from babes
Shaking hands in a big top
As the rain came down
I though it would not stop
Sending letters to Paris
From the Empire state
Taking pictures from the top
There's alot of things
for you to do
There's alot of dreams
that won't come true
I grew up in a big town
The lessons were not hard to learn
If you want them to love you
Then you must not love them in return
Spent the night at a party
Where I drank so much
I fell under your spell
Eight o'clock in the morning
And the daylight makes me
Look and feel like hell
There's alot of things
for you to do
There's alot of dreams
that won't come true
There's alot of things
for you to do
There's alot of dreams
that won't come true
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry

CALL
MY NAME
Musik
& Text: McCluskey / Kershaw
published by EMI/Virgin Music
Publishing Ltd.
I've seen a new sensation
I heard you call in pain
But running round in circles
Won't make it right again
The telephone keeps ringing
Your head is in the sand
The future is unfolding
But it's not what you had planned
No matter what you do
There's no escape for you
You say we go too far
You say I'll take my car
So it always ends the same
There's no one else to blame
But I'd die
If you would call my name
Caught between two evils
You should have stayed at home
To wish upon and walk upon
A planet of your own
No matter what you do
There's no escape for you
You say we go too far
You say I'll take my car
So it always ends the same
There's no one else to blame
But I'd die
If you would call my name
Yes I'd dieif you would call my name
No matter what you do
There's no escape for you
You say we go too far
You say I'll take my car
So it always ends the same
There's no one else to blame
But I'd dieiIf you would call my name
Oh yes I'd die
if you would call my name

WALKING
ON AIR
Musik
& Text: McCluskey / Kershaw / Massett
published by EMI/Virgin
Music Publishing Ltd.
The mood I'm in
I can't explain
Is black and white
Much worse than pain
The fear of this
See clear tonight
Is next to me
But not exactly
It's obvious
So plain to see
That I'm not as dumb as
You'd like me to be
I'll take my chance
On your will tonight
But I won't fall off
So don't act tough
It's not enough
No footsteps on the stair tonight
No cigarettes for me to light
No heavy scented clothes to fall to the floor
But I'll hear you calling
when you're not there
You're walking on air
Don't shame me now
Just let me down
Because I've bled enough
To paint this town
From East to West, North to South
The leeches crawl from hand to mouth
And now my strength
Is almost out
it's running out
No footsteps on the stair tonight
No cigarettes for me to light
No heavy scented clothes to fall to the floor
But I'll hear you calling
when you're not there
You're walking on air
No footsteps on the stair tonight
No cigarettes for me to light
No heavy scented clothes to fall to the floor
But I'll hear you calling
when you're not there
You're walking on air

WALK
TALL

Can't wait to see you say black is white
Can't wait to hear you
tell me lies
Say it with flowers
but I'd swallow too much pride
Stop counting the hours
‘till I'm right there by your side
Walk tall
I'll never crawl to you
Walk tall
not if you beg me to
Wishing and hoping
to see the light
Waiting and praying
it will be all right
Remember the days we spent
just lying on your bed
Remember how crazy we went
right out of our heads
Walk tall
I'll never crawl to you
Walk tall
not if you beg me to
Walk tall
I'll never crawl to you
Walk tall
Not if you beg me to
Walk tall
I'll never crawl to you
Walk tall
Not if you beg me to

Neon lights
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night
The city is made of light
Neon lights
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night
The city is made of light
I dream of you
With me tonight
We're all alone
Under the neon lights
And walking home
You're by my side
the neon lights
Are in our eyes
Neon lights
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night
The city is made of light

Shimmering neon lights

All that glitters
is not gold
So don't believe
what you've been told
And take a chance of being strong
Because they'll destroy you
if you're wrong
Only lovers act this way you see
Only lovers are so cruel
All your friends are here tonight
Never ones to miss a fight
Their applause for what you've done
Rings in the darkness when they've gone
Only lovers act this way
you see
Only lovers are so cruel
I would die here next to you
I will make your dreams come true
There's so much I had to say
I got lost along the way
All that glitters is not gold
So don't believe what you've been told
Only lovers act this way
you see
Only lovers are so cruel
Only lovers act this way
you see
Only lovers are so cruel
