No Control 03:56
NO CONTROL (Lyrics). You’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, You’ve got no control, you’ve got no control. Long ago you needed quick reactions, now you need more subtlety, than a rapid response to what you want, and a rapid response to what you need. Everybody will do what they’ve got to do, there’s no consultation here, just a primitive way to cope with danger, a primitive way to cope with fear. It’s like lightning striking, the back of your head, When it gets to your brain, well you’re already dead. It’s like lightning striking, when it hits the ground, It’s already to late, when you hear the sound. Cos you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, You’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control. Cos you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, You’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control. Who’s decided what you want, and who’s deciding what you’ll need, Someone’s playing with your fears, and someone’s playing on your greed. Ever tried to live a life that's different, ever tried to live a life that's free, They’re not gonna let go your own way, they will try to bring you to your knees. When you’re suffocating, cos you’re breathing their lead, They’ll sell you the air, till you go in the red. When you’re suffocating, they’ll be lying to you, When the sky has gone pink and your face has turned blue. Cos you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, You’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control. Cos you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, You’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control. You’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, You’ve got no control, you’ve got no control.

NOTHING LASTS FOREVER (Lyrics). Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, But I thought we'd have a little more time.. So take note as I speak to you, so you can teach the living of life, Which is hurtling towards death, life is hurtling towards death. Be sure and know what you seek, the future’s curiosity, And involved in action and reaction, life is hurtling towards death. So judge not what you are seeing, you are a transitory being, You can live and run and shout and sing, but life is hurtling towards death. So seek not, keep your vigilance well, never lose sight of your own hell, Cos distraction and destruction surround you, life is hurtling towards death. So break out, and get through that door, you're nature’s prisoner no more, Imagine seeing something new that’s not been seen before, life is hurtling towards death. Because the world’s big in desire, but it's small in your own memory, You’ll be searching on and searching incessantly, life is hurtling towards death. Because. Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, but I thought we’d have a little more time. Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, but I thought we’d have a little more time. Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, but I only needed a little more time. Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, but I only needed a little more time. So search on, search incessantly, you’re a vessel of pure discovery, A suffocating and monotonous reality, life is hurtling towards death. So be still, but be still moving, I don’t know how, and I don’t know if, Life’s a desperate and passionate leap from a cliff, life is hurtling towards death. Oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, death, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, death, Life is hurtling towards death, life is hurtling towards death. Oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, death, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, death, Life is hurtling towards death, life is hurtling towards death. Because. Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, but I thought we’d have a little more time. Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, but I thought we’d have a little more time. Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, but I only needed a little more time. Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, but I only needed a little more time.

FEED YOUR HEAD (Lyrics). Go feed your head, go feed your head, Go feed your head, go feed your head. Always trust in your own feelings, Put your mother on the ceiling. You must think what you must think, Success and failure are in other peoples minds. Go feed your head, go feed your head, go feed your head, Go feed your head, go feed your head, go feed your head. Who can understand it all, Most of us don’t understand any of it. What I hear I forget, what I see I remember, What I do I understand. Go feed your head, go feed your head, Go feed your head, go feed your head. The greatest risk is in not risking, Life is an adventure or nothing. Security destroys your body and your brain, It’s courage that counts. Take responsibility, We are of a different species. We need to find people with a passion for life, Happiness is one of the by-products of life. So feed your head, go feed your head, Go feed your head, go feed your head.

Why Accept 03:44
WHY ACCEPT (Lyrics). Stare in the mirror, how do you look? A girl by herself or a girl by the book. Your parents won't give you, an inch to yourself, So packed up, so polished, so neat on the shelf. You know what I want, I want you to do, Make all of those mothers start looking at you. Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all, Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all. The shit heads that push you, around at work, They push, they push, there's no seconds to shirk. The bank writes you letters, what a good girl, two years in credit but are you yourself. You don't have to be along with them all, So boring, so normal, a brick in the wall. Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all, Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all. Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all, Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all. Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all, Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all. WHY ACCEPT.

THE PAIN GOES ON (Lyrics). Turn away, if you’d rather, pain is your heavenly father. That which makes you what you think and what you are. You can’t have day without night, you won’t see darkness without light. All things come off then on again, turn like a pain inside a pain. All that lives, has to die, all that comes will soon pass by. Only pain will linger on, pain is eternal. What the hell, what the heck, I’m in this mud up to my neck. is there someone there to stop me, sinking deeper. Life is life, pain is pain, you are suffering in vain. And you know it doesn’t end with, the Grim Reaper. Cos the pain goes on, the pain goes on, The pain goes on, the pain goes on. The pain goes, on and on and on and, on and on and on and, on and on and on and, on. The pain goes, on and on and on and, on and on and on and, on and on and on and, on. The pain goes on. You’re in this mud up to your neck, up to your neck, up to your neck. All shall rot and decay, there’ll be no getting away, never ending pain and suffering infernal. Ah, ah, ah, ah. The one law for everything, replicates universally, And the only difference is your perception. What you see is unreal, it’s such a one sided deal, Turn back the covers to reveal, the great deception. Cos the pain goes on, the pain goes on, The pain goes on, the pain goes on. The pain goes, on and on and on and, on and on and on and, on and on and on and, on. The pain goes, on and on and on and, on and on and on and, on and on and on and, on. The pain goes. Cos the pain goes on, the pain goes on, The pain goes on, the pain goes on. The pain goes, on and on and on and, on and on and on and, on and on and on and, on. The pain goes, on and on and on and, on and on and on and, on and on and on and, on. The pain goes.

UPSIDE - DOWN BRAIN (Lyrics) I am the man, whose brain was put in upside - down, I am the man, without a hope. I am the man, whose brain was put in upside - down, I am the man, who just can’t cope. Signs of life, fading fast, Sensibility, is a thing of the past. Talk in sounds, shapes in light, Future’s darker than the darkest light. Well I receive messages, that I don’t understand, I can’t tell my right from my left hand. The world’s been tampered with, before it gets to me, I can’t see anything properly. Because. I am the man, whose brain was put in upside - down, I am the man, without a hope. I am the man, whose brain was put in upside - down, I am the man, who just can’t cope. So confused, sense of doubt, There is nothing I can be sure about. Well you may think it’s hard for me, to keep confusion at bay, But who really understands what they see anyway. You may well rid the world of famine and disease, If you would listen to brain invertise. Because. I am the man, whose brain was put in upside - down, I am the man, whose brain was put in upside - down. I am the man, without a hope. I am the man, whose brain was put in upside - down, I am the man, whose brain was put in upside - down. I am the man, who just can’t cope. Noise, noise, noise, in my brain, How can anything be the same again.

TAKING ALL THIS IN (Lyrics). Taking all this in now, he’s taking all this in now, Taking all this in now, he’s taking all this in now. Well if you find a way of making something out of nothing, I’d be pretty damn sure we’re gonna use it for war. You won’t get enough out of what you haven’t put enough in, We’ll be chopping down trees until there are no more. Give me a second sight, help me see wrong from right, Give me love, give me love. Give me a second chance, this time let me know in advance, Give me love, give me love. Well if you find a way of making other people suffer, You will have the means to get whatever you need. You may get one thing, but you will always want another, We could share the world, and we could lose our greed. Though it’s not good enough, this isn’t good enough, We’re always in debt, and it’s no wonder why. This isn’t good enough, this isn’t good enough, The house that we live in, takes our whole lives to buy. Taking all this in now, he’s taking all this in now, Taking all this in now, he’s taking all this in now. Taking all this in now, he’s taking all this in now, Taking all this in now, he’s taking all this in now. Taking all this in now, he’s taking all this in now, Taking all this in now, he’s taking all this in now. Though it seems that he’s not active, he’s in fact involved in, Everything you do, he’s acting through you. He’s acting through you, he’s acting through you. Taking all this in now, he’s taking all this in now, Taking all this in now, he’s taking all this in now. Though it seems that he’s not active, he’s in fact involved in, Everything you do, he’s acting through you. He’s acting through you, he’s acting through you. He's acting through you.

Give To Me 04:35
GIVE TO ME (Lyrics). I could make things good for you, it wouldn't cost you much, Pay enormous dividends, well not to you as such. I'll do you a favour, be as nice as I can be, But whatcha gonna give to me. You know I will persist, you know that I won't go away, You know you want me me and I don't believe you when you say. I don't like the things you do, all I ever hear from you is, Whatcha gonna give to me. Whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me. I'll do you a favour, be as nice as I can be, But whatcha gonna give to me. Whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me. I'll do you a favour, be as nice as I can be, But whatcha gonna give to me. Stupid people always fall for flattery, I don't let anybody get the upper hand. When it looks like someone might begin to see through me, Then I put down everything that I don't understand. I like to make a profit out of everyone, I've got this real shallow salesman attitude. I'm always going on about the things I've done, I'll only talk to women when they're in the nude. Whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me. I'll do you a favour, be as nice as I can be, But whatcha gonna give to me. Whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me. I'll do you a favour, be as nice as I can be, But whatcha gonna give to me. Well I'm working my way up now, I don't really worry how. It doesn't matter where you're from, I'll use you then I'll move on. I'm the type who's always trying to work a deal, I'm the type that doesn't do a thing for free. I couldn't give a damn about the way you feel, All I want to know is, what's in it for me. What's in it for me, what's in it for me, What's in it for me. What's in it for me, what's in it for me, What's in it for me. Whatcha gonna give to me. Whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me. Whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me.

HEAD OVER HEELS (Lyrics). Hey! You girl, with hair the colour of the golden sands of time. Don’t you know girl, that you’ve driven the logic out of my mind. Cos I’m head over heels, head over heels, head over heels for you, Cos I’m head over heels, head over heels, head over heels for you. Hey! you girl, hey! you girl, why don’t you feel this way. And hey! you girl, hey! you girl, why don’t you fall in love. And why don’t you feel this way, And why don’t you fall in love. Cos I’m head over heels, head over heels, head over heels for you, Cos I’m head over heels, head over heels, head over heels for you. Cos I’m head over heels, head over heels, head over heels for you, Cos I’m head over heels, head over heels, head over heels for you. Cos I’m head over heels, head over heels, head over heels for you, Cos I’m head over heels, head over heels, head over heels for you.
10.
IT'S A GOOD THING (Lyrics). I can’t help thinking it’s a good thing, I can’t help thinking it’s a good thing. Some people say, we’re living in a nightmare, Life is Hell, there’s no one there, it’s getting more than we can bear. What’s the reason, what’s the point, get us someone to anoint, I’ve got my finger in my ear, oh! d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, dear. Some people say, we’re living on a tightrope, It’s no good, no hope, just found out that we can’t cope. What’s the point of being born, when all you get is worn and torn, Can I have my money back, I’ll by myself a s, s, s, s, s, s, s, s, six-pack. But oh-whoa, I can’t help thinking it’s a good thing, But oh-whoa, I can’t help thinking it’s a good thing. It’s a good thing. But it’s alright, it’s alright, It’s alright, it’s alright. Some people say, you might as well drop dead today, It’s raining and the skies are grey, and why do we have to work all day. Why doesn’t money grow on trees, and what’s it take to feel at ease, Will I ever find the time, for feeling good and feeling fine. Some people say, there’s nothing to look forward to, It doesn’t matter what you do, cos no-ones got a bloody clue. An analogue monopoly, on things that don’t work properly, So why is it so hard to see, that Hell is coming after me. But oh-whoa, I can’t help thinking it’s a good thing, But oh-whoa, I can’t help thinking it’s a good thing. It’s a good thing. But it’s alright, it’s alright, It’s alright, it’s alright. I can’t help thinking it’s a good thing, I can’t help thinking it’s a good thing. I can’t help thinking it’s a good thing, I can’t help thinking it’s a good thing. But oh-whoa, I can’t help thinking it’s a good thing, But oh-whoa, I can’t help thinking it’s a good thing. It’s a good thing. But it’s alright, it’s alright, It’s alright, it’s alright.

You’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, You’ve got no control, you’ve got no control. Who can say how things are working, And who can know what's for the best. Now that we've been shown a part of something, What we've got to do is see the rest. Cos I can't remember where I'm going, I can't remember where I've been. I've been looking with my eyes half open, I wonder what it's all supposed to mean. Cos we're guessing the way, the blind leading the blind, Sheep leading the sheep, please leave me behind. Yes I'm guessing the way, I can't see in the dark, It's not making no sense, I'm not making my mark. It's for your own good, it's for your protection, It's been around so very long, It's for your own good, but cut the connection, What do you think you're running from. Cos you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, You’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control. Cos you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, You’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, you’ve got no control. You’ve got no control, you’ve got no control, You’ve got no control, you’ve got no control.

NOTHING LASTS FOREVER (Lyrics). Nothing lasts forever, Nothing lasts forever. So take note as I speak to you, so you can teach the living of life, Which is hurtling towards death, life is hurtling towards death.

Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, but I only needed a little more time. Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, but I only needed a little more time. Everything is moving and every moving thing is, Everything is moving and every moving thing is. You come from nothing, then you are, go back to nothing, then you're not. Then you are, then you're not, then you are, then you're not. You're thrown into this world, then you are abandoned, You're thrown into this world, then you are abandoned.

Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, but I thought we’d have a little more time. Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, but I thought we’d have a little more time. Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, but I only needed a little more time. Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, but I only needed a little more time.
