STAY

You say you gotta go nowwell that's OK
Run away
like some lost child
You say I never cared much
that's no lie
Run away
don't waste your time
You never listen
you never did
But before you walk away
There's just one thing I've got to say
Stay
why won't you stay
Run away
like some black rose
You say I never loved you
So you're taking sides
But when there seems no reason
It's just jealousy and pride
You never listen
you never did
But before you walk away
There's just one thing I've got to say
Stay
why won't you stay
Run awaylike some black rose
But before you walk away
There's just one thing I've got to say
Stay
why won't you stay
Run away
like some black rose
Kisses over oceans like scarlet coloured knives
The Universal Wheel that dominates our lives
Run away
like some black rose
Repeat (3 times)

LIVE AND DIE
Musik

I never wanted another
Come over to me and discover
How I want to be near you
And you need to be far away
You always seem to make me feel
At home
Hey you
You're
people like us
I never know, I never know, I never know why
You make me wanna cry
I never know, I never know, I never know why
Forever live and die
I look at all the people
They're
doing it over and over
You never get any older
Well I wish that you could be here
I look at you and I
make the same mistakes
Hey you
You're people like us
I never know, I never know, I never know why
You make me wanna cry
I never know, I never know, I never know why
Forever live and die
I never know, I never know, I never know why
You make me wanna cry
I never know, I never know, I never know why
Forever live and die
(Repeat to fade
(EWIG) LEBEN UND STERBEN
Ich
wollte niemal etwas anderes
Kommt 'rüber zu mir und entdeckt
Ich
will nahe bei euch sein
Und ihr müßt weit weg sein
Ihr scheint
mir immer das Gefühl
Zu geben, daß ich zu Hause bin
Hey ihr
Ihr
seid Leute wie wir
Ich weiß es nie, ich weiß es nie, ich
weiß nie warum
Ihr mich zum Weinen bringt
Ich weiß es nie,
ich weiß es nie, ich weiß nie wozu
Ewig leben und sterben
Ich
schau mir all die Leute an
Sie machen es immer und immer wieder
Ihr
werdet niemals älter
Ich wünschte, ihr könntet hier sein
Ich
schau euch zu und mache dieselben Fehler
Hey ihr
Ihr seid
Leute wie wir
Ich weiß es nie, ich weiß es nie, ich weiß
nie warum
Ihr mich zum Weinen bringt
Ich weiß es nie, ich
weiß es nie, ich weiß nie wozu
Ewig leben und sterben
Ich
weiß es nie, ich weiß es nie, ich weiß nie warum
Ihr mich zum
Weinen bringt
Ich weiß es nie, ich weiß es nie, ich weiß nie
wozu
Ewig leben und sterben

THE
PACIFIC AGE
Musik
& Text: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
published by
EMI/Virgin Music Publishing Ltd.
The Pacific Age
is growing strong
It's arm's embrace with a killing grace
It shakes your hand as it takes your place
The modern agelike a slow revenge
A wave that breaks over distant shores
It begs for mercy
and it take some more and more and more
The Pacific Age
comes down like rain
Washing over us again and again
It's spreading west
like a speeding train
As the wheels slow down and we lose the game
The Pacific Age
tells no lies
A dream that calls like an open door
It keeps you hoping
and it takes some more and more and more
The Pacific Age
comes down like rain
Washing over us again and again
It's spreading west
like a speeding train
As the wheels slow down and we lose the game
The Pacific Age
comes down like rain
Washing over us again and again
It's spreading west
like a speeding train
As the wheels slow down and we lose the game
The Pacific Age
has no regrets
It feeds on dreams
it wins its bets
A new dawn breaks from east to west
And the plans we made stop making sense
The Pacific Age
it calls your name
It bites you hand, you feel no pain
And racing home. you run in vane
As your heart slows down and you lose the game

THE
DEAD GIRLS
Musik
& Text: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
published by
EMI/Virgin Music Publishing Ltd.
Those girls are laughing now
They take my breath away
And all these dreams I'de had
Come back to me
The light is never on
They haven't fixed it yet
But catholic girls, they never fear
They grew up with that
Those girls are always dreaming
They need your sympathy
Their vision's fading now
Changing by degree
So take me away
Life is never this strange
Counting your blessings
When you're out of rain
Those girls are laughing now
They take my breath away
In all these dreams I've had
The dead girls say
Counting our blessings like an extra day
We turn and walk away
Counting our blessings like an extra day
We prayed you wouldn't stay
The dead girls never care
They never were that way
The dead girls never peak
Not today

SHAME
Musik
& Text: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
published by
EMI/Virgin Music Publishing Ltd.
If there's one thing I know
Things are gonna change
There's gonna be a different ending
Though I'm not one to complain
But there's never been a right time
And we've never been too far
But you're the only single reason I know
That's holding back my heart
Take your kiss from my mouth
take your heart from my heart
this will never happen again
You know that your promises won't last for one day
God knows it's a shame
but it's always the way
And the second time
Just wouldn't be the same
But you're changing with your faces and
You're gonna be lost again
if you're
With or without me
I've made up my mind
Well I'm hpoping and praying
But you're running out of time
Take your kiss from my mouth
take your heart from my heart
this will never happen again
You know that your promises won't last for one day
God knows it's a shame
but it's always the way
Take your kiss from my mouth
take your heart from my heart
this will never happen again
You know that your promises won't last for one day
God knows it's a shame
but it's always the way
God know it's a shame
but it's always the way
God know it's a shame
but it's always, it's always the way

Musik:
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
published by EMI/Virgin
Music Publishing Ltd.
I remember that Monday morning
when I was subpoenaed to be in court
Many things ran through my mind
I started thinking about the people
All day long, trying to think of something to say to the people
Are you ready for the question?
All in favour, let it be known by standing on you feet
I want
young men and young women, who are not alive today
But who will come into this world, with new preivleges
And new oppurtunities
I want them to know and see that these
new priveleges and oppurtunities
Did not come without somebody suffering and sacrificing for
Freedom
is never given to anybody
Like anybody
I would like to live a long life
Longevity has its place
But i'm not concerned about that now
I just want to do God' will
and he has allowed me
To go up to the mountian
And I've looked over and I've seen the promise land
I may not get there with you
but I want you to know tonight
That we as a peoplewill get to the promise land
So I'm happy tonight, I'm not worried about anything
I'm not fearing any man
mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the Lord
Glory Hallelujah, Glory Hallelujah
Glory Hallelujah,
Glory Hallelujah His tuth is marching on

FLAME
OF HOPE

There's a flame of hope burning in my heart
And there's a strange emotion
tearing me apart
Cause I know
I know
cause I know
There's a flame of hope
calling out your name
But when my arms embrace you
it extinguishes the flame
Cause I know
I know
cause I know

GODDESS

(She's okay)
(She's okay)
(hey)
(She's okay)
(She's okay)
(Hey)
Goddess of love,
Goddess of love
She never slows down
and she can't get enough
The Goddess of love,
the Goddess of love
She's holding her heart to the stars above
She can't afford dreams
and her clothes are old
She can't afford hope
wouldn't be so bold
But she's holding his heart
and she won't let go again
She's a femme fatal
well that's what they say
But she knows he couldn't love her
any other way
Cause she's holding him now
and she won't let go again
Yes, she's holding him now
and she won't let go again
Goddess of love,
Goddess of love
She never slows down
and she can't get enough
The Goddess of love,
the Goddess of love
She's holding her heart to the stars above
She never slows down
and she doesn't play straight
Just cruising around in her own sweet way
But she's taking her time
and he's gonna get fooled again
She learned about life
til she wished shew were dead
So she treats that guy like a hole in the head
Can you see him now
he'll never get lucky again
Goddess of love,
Goddess of love
She never slows down
and she can't get enough
The Goddess of love,
The Goddess of love
She's holding her heart to the stars above
The Goddess of love (x6)
Heart and soul
She's the Goddess of love as she covers the gorund
She looks just great and she never slows down
And she's holding his heart and she won't let go again
Yes, she's holding his heart and she won't let go again
Oh, she's holding his heart and she won't let go again
Yes, she's holding his heart and she won't let go again
Oh, she's holding his heart and she won't let go again

WE
LOVE YOU

We've got to get a message to the stars above
Like radios in heaven hearing just enough
And every single tear drop along the way
We put them in our pockets for a rainy day
But here we are in trouble like we always are
Just praying for a miracle
and reaching for stars
We love you
would die for you
We need you
every day
We got to get a message to the promised land
Like semaphores in motion so they'll understand
But every single vision that we saw today
We didn't quite believe it in the usual way
Yet here we are in heaven
who could want for more
We always end up getting what we're asking for
We love you
would die for you
We need you
every day
It's just another promise like we've heard before
We're never really knowing what we're fighting for
We love you
would die for you
We need you
every day
We love youwouldn't leave you
We miss you
far away
We love you
would die for you
We need you
every day
We miss you
far away
We love you
would die for you
We need you
every day

WATCH
US FALL
Musik

Here we come again
Like a message in the pouring rain
And every now and then
I still call your name
Like partners in crime
Every once in a while
The the fishes at sea
It's just the life we lead
We're going up
We're going down again
We're going up
We're going down again
Watch us fall
And time stood still
In a distant town
I know you
I know you much too well
Last year you said
It's time to settle down
Last time I saw you
You were still running around
Going up
Going down again
Watch us fall
Watch us fall
Remember when you said
It's time to settle down
Well last time I saw you
You were still running around
Going up
Going down again
We're going up
We're coming down again
Watch us fall
Watch us fall
Watch us fall
Watch us fall
