The Future Is Now

When there’s nothing left, when nothing remains of the day
When the hours await, just to fill and fade away
Then she says
Don’t worry so much
We’ll work it out
Just let it go, just let it go
The more I sense, the less I see, The more I know, the more I breathe
An end to my ways, I change every day
It makes no sense to me, but the future is now
And as I open my eyes, then the loneliness drains away
When what I feel becomes real, then words have nothing to say
And she says
Don’t worry so much
We’ll work it out
Just let it go, just let it go
The more I sense, the less I see, The more I know, the more I breathe
An end to my ways, I change every day
It makes no sense to me, but the future is now
And as I open my eyes, my life begins
Because the future is now
The future is now
The future is now
The more I sense, the less I see
The more I know, the more I breathe
An end to my ways, I change every day
It makes no sense to me, but the future is now

I'm The Slime

I am gross and perverted, I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years, But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government, And industry too
For I am destined to rule, And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious, But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious, With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get, Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out, From your TV set
I am the slime from your video, Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video, can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
You will obey me while I lead you, And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you, Don't go for help, no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled, It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told, Until the rights to you are sold
I am the slime from your video, Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video, can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

Where's The Fun

You showed me everything, the signs were clear
You told me everything, I didn't hear
I thought I knew you but I misunderstood
This time the drama's real, there's no falsehood
I heard the rumours, but you've, you've flirted before
Something so strange and real, that aching sound
The king of fakers has now been crowned
Now that we're done, the next days begun.
So where's the fun, now the next days begun, Where's the fun
So where's the fun, now the next days begun
You know who I am he said, the time has come
So where's the fun, Where's the fun, now the next days begun,
So where's the fun, Where's the fun, now the next days begun
The angels waiting, walking back you closed the door
So where's the fun, now the next days begun
So where's the fun, now the next days begun
So where's the fun, Where's the fun, now the next days begun,
So where's the fun, Where's the fun, now the next days begun
Where's the fun
I know everything about you, I know nothing about you
So where's the fun
So where's the fun, Where's the fun
Where's the fun
I know everything about you, I know nothing about you
I know nothing about you

So the spyware just downloads straight in to your TV.
and you know what do you do in front of your TV?
It's where we live, that's where we live.
And she says, what big eyes you have
All the better to see you with my dear.
Then all of a sudden the programme exited spontaneously.
It's very weird, there was nothing happening on the screen, nothing was happening on the phone, but on the laptop screen, I could see that there was a log of events going crazy.
There was lots of messages being sent and received, and it looked like something was being downloaded and then stored on the TV.
Then around 1:30 in the morning
I get this weird message, and it says
What big eyes you have.

Beauty At The Party

She holds a yellow gun to your head, her fingers lightly on the trigger.
And she's frozen in time, as the camera takes a picture.
Yellow is her colour, yellow is her hair.
She's always reminding you someday she may not be there.
But maybe she's everything that you ever wanted
and maybe she's everything that you ever needed
and maybe she's everything that god could have given
and maybe she is everything to you.
The cross hangs so high in her past, though it's gone, now she's looking to the future
She puts your new values to the test, and then you think that you may lose her
Yellow is her colour, yellow is her hair.
She's always reminding you someday she may not be there.
But maybe she's everything that you ever wanted
and maybe she's everything that you ever needed
and maybe she's everything that god could have given
and maybe she is everything, everything to you.

Transe State

Fiction filters through these eyes. Dark mirrors reflect grey skies.
The signals lost, no state of mind. It'll be some time till I'm back on line.
Oh, this is the strangest of all feelings.
Oh, my mind is lost, my senses reeling.
Oh I'm so uncertain of what to believe in.
Oh, is this real or something's revealing?
Is this just a test?
Oh, am I here or just lucid dreaming?
Oh, does this exist if I stop believing?
This is a dangerous place. (Is this only a test?)
Is this the test? (Is this the test? Is this only a test?)
Oh, this is the strangest of all feelings.
Oh, my mind is lost, my senses reeling.
Double the dose
(Is this the test? Is this only a test?)
all I feel is all I know is all I see is all I feel is all I know is all I see is all I feel is all I know is …....
It'll be some time till I'm back on line.
(Is this only a test?)
all I feel is all I know is all I see is all I feel is all I know is all I see is all I feel is all I know is …....
Oh, this is the strangest of all feelings.
Oh, my mind is lost, my senses reeling.
all I see is all I feel is all I know is all I see is all I feel is all I know.

I, I want you
Baby, Je te veux
I’m high on your love
Too much is never enough
I know, I’m, I’m addicted to you
And the things you make me do
I, I burn for you
I may deny it, but it’s true
I know, I'm, I’m addicted to you
And the things you make me do
Oh I want you so badly
You drive me crazy now baby
Your love has got me high
You’ve got me hooked and I’m helpless I’ve only just realized
There’s nothing more I can do now you’ve got me hypnotized
I know, I'm, I’m addicted to you
And the things you make me do
Yeah
You’re in my mind you’re in my blood
You’re in my mind you’re in my blood
I know, I’m, I'm addicted to you
And the things you make me do
You’ve got me spellbound pretty baby
I’m a Junkie for your love, you know I can’t get enough

When Everything Stops
07:36

Sitting here, sunshine on my skin
Feel the warmth, feel it soaking in.
Who'd have thought it would happen today
Who'd have thought it would happen this way.
The world keeps turning, keeps turning around
When everything stops, stops falling apart.
I hear the sound of laughter, floating on the air.
There's no more to life, just what I'm feeling here.
The world keeps turning, keeps turning around
When everything stops, stops falling apart.
After the storm breaks, surrender control
something tells me it's gonna be alright.
Who'd have thought it, who could say
who'd have thought it would be a beautiful day
Who'd have thought it, who could say
who'd have thought it would be a beautiful day
When the light shines down on the dirt
Then I know I'm gonna find my way, yeah
Sitting here, feels like the winters end.
The talking's done, just leave the scars to mend.
Feels like life it turned upside down,
But here I am with my feet back on the ground.
The world keeps turning, keeps turning around
When everything stops, stops falling apart.
Everything's gonna be OK
