BURNING FLAME. (3:51)

WALKING OUT TONIGHT IN THE STREET LIGHTS I CAN SEE YOU,
ARM IN ARM WITH JUST ANOTHER GUY,
YOU LOOK AT ME AND WAVE HELLO-HOW FRIENDLY,
I LOOK AT YOU AND THE CARS GO PASSING BY.

I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU USED TO LOVE ME,
NOTHING MUCH BUT IT MADE YOU CRY,
SO HERE WE ARE MAKING PLEASANT GESTURES,
AND I JUST CAN'T SEE THE REASON WHY.

ME AND YOU WE NEVER MADE IT FAR GIRL,
NOW I LAUGH AT THE PROMISES WE MADE,
AND SOMETHING WENT THE FIRST TIME THAT I HURT YOU,
THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE MEMORIES START TO FADE.

AND ALL ALONG ON MY TRIP TO NOWHERE,
YOU ANNOYED ME WITH YOUR FOOLISH GAMES,
AND HOW YOU TEASED WHEN I FIRST MADE LOVE,
AND I'M LEFT SO NAKED LIKE A BURNING FLAME,
BURNING FLAME, BURNING FLAME.

AND ALL ALONG ON MY TRIP TO NOWHERE,
YOU ANNOYED ME WITH YOUR FOOLISH GAMES,
AND HOW YOU TEASED WHEN I FIRST MADE LOVE,
AND I'M LEFT SO NAKED LIKE A BURNING FLAME,
BURNING FLAME, BURNING FLAME.

I FELT THE EARTH FALL APART AND CRUMBLE,
ALL MY DREAMS DOWN THEY FELL,
AND WOULD AN ANGEL SHOW MERCY TO THE DEVIL,
BUT YOU'RE UNDER MY SKIN AND YOU KNOW DARN WELL.

WALKING OUT TONIGHT IN THE STREET LIGHTS I CAN SEE YOU
ARM IN ARM WITH JUST ANOTHER GUY,
YOU LOOK AT ME AND WAVE HELLO-HOW FRIENDLY,
I LOOK AT YOU AND THE CARS GO PASSING BY.

AND ALL ALONG ON MY TRIP TO NOWHERE,
YOU ANNOYED ME WITH YOUR FOOLISH GAMES,
AND HOW YOU TEASED WHEN I FIRST MADE LOVE,
AND I'M LEFT SO NAKED LIKE A BURNING FLAME,
BURNING FLAME, BURNING FLAME.

AND ALL ALONG ON MY TRIP TO NOWHERE,
YOU ANNOYED ME WITH YOUR FOOLISH GAMES,
AND HOW YOU TEASED WHEN I FIRST MADE LOVE,
AND I'M LEFT SO NAKED LIKE A BURNING FLAME,
BURNING FLAME, BURNING FLAME.

CIRCUS RING. (6:02)

I  SAW A LIGHT SHINING DOWN ON ME,
WITH PIERCING KNIVES AND FRIGHTENED SCREAMS,
I WAS THE FOOL IN THE CIRCUS RING,
ENTERTAINING, MY DREAMS.

CHILDREN TRY TO PLEASE,
THEIR FACES TELL THE TRUTH,
DESTINY'S OF MEN UNTOLD
PEOPLE WAIT FOR THEIR DREAMS TO UNFOLD.
FEAR IS IN THEIR EYES,
BLINDNESS IN THEIR MINDS,
ONE DAY THEY WILL BE FREE,
UNHAPPINESS WILL BE THEIR LEGACY.

WE SCREAM OUTLOUD, OUR FEAR IS OUT,
NOBODY HERE IN ANY DOUBT,
AND ALL THE PROFITS CAN BE SEEN,
NO STRINGS ATTACHED, NET ANSWER.

I  SAW A LIGHT SHINING DOWN ON ME,
WITH PIERCING KNIVES AND FRIGHTENED SCREAMS,
I WAS THE FOOL IN THE CIRCUS RING,
ENTERTAINING, MY DREAMS.

WHISPER ALL YOUR SECRETS,
SHOUT OUT ALL YOUR LIES,
MUCH TO QUICK TO CRITICIZE,
WEAR YOUR MASK WHEN YOU GO OUTSIDE,
LOOKING FOR A WAY,
A WAY TO CALL YOUR OWN,
THE PASSION OF YOUR WASTED YEARS,
WILL BE WITH YOU WHEN YOU LOOK INSIDE.

I  SAW A LIGHT SHINING DOWN ON ME,
WITH PIERCING KNIVES AND FRIGHTENED SCREAMS,
I WAS THE FOOL IN THE CIRCUS RING,
ENTERTAINING, MY DREAMS.

WE SCREAM OUTLOUD, OUR FEAR IS OUT,
NOBODY HERE IN ANY DOUBT,
AND ALL THE PROFITS CAN BE SEEN,
NO STRINGS ATTACHED, NET ANSWER.

DISCIPLES ON THEIR KNEES,
CALLING TO THE GODS THEY SEEM,
SHOUTING TO UNKNOWN PASTURES,
LOOKING FOR THE FINAL ANSWER,
MARCHING THROUGH THE STREETS,
CLAIMING DIVINE RIGHTS,
THE HUNGER FOR YOUR SENILE YEARS,
WILL BE WITH YOU WHEN YOU LOOK OUTSIDE.

WE SCREAM OUTLOUD, OUR FEAR IS OUT,
NOBODY HERE IN ANY DOUBT,
AND ALL THE PROFITS CAN BE SEEN,
NO STRINGS ATTACHED, NET ANSWER.

WE SCREAM OUTLOUD, OUR FEAR IS OUT,
NOBODY HERE IN ANY DOUBT,
AND ALL THE PROFITS CAN BE SEEN,
NO STRINGS ATTACHED, NET ANSWER.

YOU GOT TO PULL UP TREES AND BREAK YOUR APATHY,
WELL YOU COULD HAVE DONE THAT IN '83
SO SAY HI HI FRIEND WHAT'S YOUR STORY?

WHEN YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN SLAPPED ABOUT YOUR FACE,
WATCH YOUR CRITICS FALL,
WITHOUT A TRACE OF PERCEPTION,
AN ARMY OF DREAMERS,
THE SUN SPLITS THE SKY,
AS THEY STUMBLE THEIR WAY IN THE DARK.

SAY HI HI FRIEND WHAT'S YOUR STORY?
WE WON'T HAVE TO WORRY WILL WE,
DON'T LET ME DOWN TO STONEY GROUND, DECIDE
THERE'S A DARK CAFÉ      YOUR DESTINY,
CAUSE YOU SHOULD BE RIGHT WHERE YOU WANNA BE.

IT THUNDERS AND RAGES,
AS THEY FUMBLE THEIR WAY IN THE DARK.

BUT THEY BUNGLE THEIR WAY IN THE DARK.

EVERY TIME THAT I SEE YOU. (3:44)

SO THE LIGHT INVADES MY ROOM,
ON A SLEEPLESS NIGHT.
A LONG CRUSADE THROUGH DARKNESS,
ANOTHER DRAWN OUT FIGHT.

AND ALL THE MEMORIES,
THEY STAB YOU IN THE BACK,
IT'S JUST THE WAY THINGS GO,
THERE'S JUST NO TURNING BACK.

BUT EVERY TIME THAT I SEE YOU,
EVERY TIME NOW IT'S STILL THE SAME (EVERYTIME),
EVERY TIME THAT I SEE YOU,
EVERY TIME YOU CALL MY NAME.

AND WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE IN CONTROL,
SOMETHING BRINGS YOU DOWN,
IT TAKES FROM THE HIGHEST CLOUD,
TO THE STONEY GROUND.
AND ALL THE TIMES YOU'VE SPENT,
THAT SEEMED SO DISTANT  START,
ARE CREEPING UP ON YOU,
WHEN YOU THOUGHT THEM FAR APART.

BUT EVERY TIME THAT I SEE YOU,
EVERY TIME NOW IT'S STILL THE SAME (EVERYTIME),
EVERY TIME THAT I SEE YOU,
EVERY TIME YOU CALL MY NAME.

BUT EVERY TIME THAT I SEE YOU,
EVERY TIME NOW IT'S STILL THE SAME (EVERYTIME),
EVERY TIME THAT I SEE YOU,
EVERY TIME YOU CALL MY NAME.

I MEAN'T SO MANY TIMES TO TELL YOU,
I NEVER WANTED YOU TO GO,
I FELT SO MANY TIMES,
TO CRY OUT LOUD,
BUT I COULDN'T SHOW.

BUT EVERY TIME THAT I SEE YOU,
EVERY TIME NOW IT'S STILL THE SAME (EVERYTIME),
EVERY TIME THAT I SEE YOU,
EVERY TIME YOU KNOW MY NAME.

DON'T TELL ME I DON'T BELONG
I NEED YOUR LOVE TO MAKE ME STRONG,
EVERY TIME YOU CALL MY NAME,
I SEE YOUR FACE IT'S STILL THE SAME,
DON'T TELL ME I DON'T BELONG,
I NEED YOUR LOVE TO MAKE ME STRONG,
EVERY TIME YOU CALL MY NAME,
I SEE YOUR FACE IT'S STILL THE SAME

CASABLANCA. (5:31)

HOW CAN I COPE WITH ALL THIS JAZZ,
HOW DO YOU WALK THE NIGHT ALONE,
AND IS YOUR LOVER STEAL HER IN DISGUISE,
DO YOU COUNT THE COST OF SLEEPLESS DAYS.

DO I GO, DO I GO CASABLANCA,
DO I SHOW, DO I SHOW MYSELF,
DO I GO, DO I GO CASABLANCA,
DO I SHOW, DO I SHOW THE WHOLE WORLD WHO I AM.

I'M STRIPPED AGAIN BEFORE I STAND,
THE BISHOP SWOOPS TO TAKE MY HAND,
I HOPE MY GOD NEVER EVER GETS TO ME,
MY BODY TORN IN SEARCH OF NEW IDENTITY,
WILL SCARS SHOW MY HIDDEN THIRST FOR INJURY,
I HOPE MY GOD WILL NEVER EVER GET TO ME.

(DO I GO)  DO I GO CASABLANCA
(DO I SHOW)  OOH  DO I SHOW MYSELF,
(DO I GO) DO I GO CASABLANCA,
(DO I SHOW) OH  DO I SHOW THE WHOLE WORLD.

(DO I GO)  DO I GO CASABLANCA,
(DO I SHOW)  WOH  DO I SHOW MYSELF,
(WHEN I GO) WHEN I GO CASABLANCA,
(THEN I'LL SHOW) OOH  THEN I'LL SHOW THE WHOLE WORLD WHO I AM.

YOU THINK I'VE GONE ALL RAVING MAD,
BUT I KNOW THESE DREAMINGS THAT I HAVE,
I HOPE MY GOD WILL NEVER EVER GET TO ME,
MY BODY TORN IN SEARCH OF NEW IDENTITY,
WILL SCARS SHOW MY OPEN THIRST FOR ECSTASY,
I HOPE MY GOD WILL NEVER EVER GET TO ME.

(DO I GO)  DO I GO CASABLANCA,
(DO I SHOW)  OOH  DO I SHOW MYSELF,
(DO I GO) DO I GO CASABLANCA,
(DO I SHOW) OH  DO IS HOW THE WHOLE WORLD.

(DO I GO)  DO I GO CASABLANCA,
(DO I SHOW)  WOH  DO I SHOW MYSELF,
(WHEN I GO) WHEN I GO CASABLANCA,
(THEN I'LL SHOW) OOH  THEN I'LL SHOW THE WHOLE WORLD.
 
I'M STRIPPED AGAIN BEFORE I STAND,
THE BISHOP SWOOPS TO TAKE MY HAND,
WILL I REAPPEAR IN SHATTERED GOLD,
WILL MYSELF COME THROUGH TO STAKE HIMSELF.

(DO I GO)  DO I GO CASABLANCA
(DO I SHOW)  OOH  DO I SHOW MYSELF,
(DO I GO) DO I GO CASABLANCA,
(DO I SHOW) OH  DO IS HOW THE WHOLE WORLD.

(DO I GO)  DO I GO CASABLANCA,
(DO I SHOW)  WOH  DO I SHOW MYSELF,
(WHEN I GO) WHEN I GO CASABLANCA,
(THEN I'LL SHOW) OOH  THEN I'LL SHOW THE WHOLE WORLD WHO I AM.

ANGELA. (4:46)

SHE'S THE ONE WHO KNOWS ME,
A LITTLE TIGER WITH A GLINT IN HER EYE,
SHE'S THE ONE WHO HOLDS ME,
AND PUTS ME DOWN TO LAUGH OR CRY.

EVERY TIME THAT I SEE HER,
AND ALL A LADY AS SHE RACES BY,
SMILES AFFECTION WITH LAUGHTER,
SHE'S SO INFECTIOUS I JUST WANNA TRY.

AND I REALLY LOVE HER,
SHE'S MORE THAN THE WORLD TO ME,
AND I REALLY WANT HER,
WOULD SHE GIVE ALL HER LOVE TO ME.

ANGELA DON'T GO AND LEAVE ME TONIGHT (LEAVE ME TONIGHT),
ANGELA PLEASE BE WITH ME (ANGELA),
ANGELA DON'T EVER WALK THROUGH MY LIFE (WALK THROUGH MY LIFE),
ANGELA PLEASE BE WITH ME, CAUSE I LOVE YOU.

FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING,
DAWN AWAKENS AND WE MAKE LOVE,
JUST A DREAM IN THE SILENCE,
MOVING GENTLY WITH THE WAVES ABOVE.

AND I REALLY LOVE HER,
SHE'S MORE THAN THE WORLD TO ME,
AND I REALLY WANT HER,
WOULD SHE GIVE ALL HER LOVE TO ME.

ANGELA DON'T GO AND LEAVE ME TONIGHT (LEAVE ME TONIGHT),
ANGELA PLEASE BE WITH ME (ANGELA),
ANGELA DON'T EVER WALK THROUGH MY LIFE (WALK THROUGH MY LIFE),
ANGELA PLEASE BE WITH ME, CAUSE I LOVE YOU.

ANGELA DON'T GO AND LEAVE ME TONIGHT (LEAVE ME TONIGHT),
ANGELA PLEASE BE WITH ME (ANGELA),
OH I KNOW IT DOESN'T SOUND MUCH,
BUT IT'S ALL THAT I KNOW (ALL THAT I KNOW),
ANGELA PLEASE BE WITH ME.

FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING,
THE LACK OF SLEEP IS CATCHING UP ON ME,
TREADING WATER WITHOUT YOU HERE,
SLOWLY DROWNING IN A FREEZING SEA.

I SIT HERE AND WONDER,
HOW SOMEONE CAN SEEM SO FAR AWAY,
AND LOOK SO UNTOUCHABLE,
WISH I KNEW ALL THE RULES TO THE GAME.

(ANGELA) DON'T EVER LEAVE ME (TONIGHT),
ANGELA  (ANGELA) DON'T WALK AWAY (MY LOVE),
OH ANGELA (ANGELA),
(ANGELA) DON'T EVER LEAVE ME (LEAVE ME TONIGHT)
OOH ANGELA (ANGELA) DON'T WALK AWAY.

ANYBODY OUT THERE?. (5:32)

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?
JUST BLACK SKIES PICTURES OF RAINY DAYS,
IS THERE SOMETHING MOVING OUT THERE?
JUST SMALL TALK VISIONS      ALL DAY.

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?
TWO SHADOWS DANCING IN TIMES THAT WERE FREE,
MUST BE SOMETHING I CAN DO,
TO KEEP BACK THIS FREEDOM FROM CHASING ME.

STOP, DON'T LOOK BACK AT LONELY TIMES,
YOU THOUGHT WERE DEAD AND GONE,
THEY'LL BE KNOCKING FOR TWENTY YEARS,
IF YOU LET THEM OVERCOME.

DON'T LOOK BACK, DON'T LOOK BACK,
ON DREAMS THAT ARE LEFT UNDONE,
THINGS WON'T HAPPEN TODAY FOR YOU,
SORRY IS NO CHANCE.

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?
TO TEASE AND TAUNT ME FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE,
MUST BE SOMETHING MOVING OUT THERE,
BUT I SEE YOU STALKING JUST OUT OF MY SIGHT.

STOP, DON'T LOOK BACK AT LONELY TIMES,
YOU THOUGHT WERE DEAD AND GONE,
THEY'LL BE KNOCKING FOR TWENTY YEARS,
IF YOU LET THEM OVERCOME.

DON'T LOOK BACK, DON'T LOOK BACK,
ON DREAMS THAT ARE LEFT UNDONE,
THINGS WON'T HAPPEN TODAY FOR YOU,
SORRY IS NO CHANCE.

AND THOUGH YOU LEFT ME SCARRED AND OPEN,
I'LL NEVER LET YOU SEE THAT I WAS BROKEN.

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?
JUST TALL WINDS CAUGHT IN THE REALMS OF DECAY,
IS THERE SOMETHING MOVING OUT THERE?
JUST OLD FRIENDS REMNANTS FROM YESTERDAY.

IS THERE ANY CHANCE I COULD HELP YOU,
TWO LOVERS DANCING IN TIMES THAT WERE FREE,
MUST BE SOMETHING I CAN DO,
TO KEEP BACK THESE VISIONS FROM CHASING ME.

STOP, DON'T LOOK BACK AT LONELY TIMES,
YOU THOUGHT WERE DEAD AND GONE,
THEY'LL BE KNOCKING FOR TWENTY YEARS,
IF YOU LET THEM OVERCOME.

DON'T LOOK BACK, DON'T LOOK BACK,
ON DREAMS THAT ARE LEFT UNDONE,
THINGS WON'T HAPPEN TODAY FOR YOU,
SORRY IS NO CHANCE.

AND THOUGH YOU LEFT ME SCARRED AND OPEN,
I'LL NEVER LET YOU SEE THAT I WAS BROKEN.

SOMETHING WE CAN DO. (5:12)

ALL PIE IN THE SKY,
I COULD NOT SEE THE STORMY WEATHER,
RUMOURS ALL AROUND,
MY EARS DON'T HEAR THE SOUND.

OLD TOWN, PEOPLE SIGH,
TRAFFIC FLOWS TO BUILD CONFUSION,
STILL THE WORLD GOES BY,
JUST A FOOL TO HEAR HIS CRY.

YOU WILL LONG MY DAYS,
ALL AT ONE FOREVER,
BUT YOU'D HIDE AT NIGHT,
NOW THE DARK IS SO COLD.

YOU WERE IN MY EYES AND IN MY HEART,
YOU WERE RIGHT INSIDE, AND IN ME.

TEARS HIDE IN MY EYES,
FOOLISH DREAMS OF FALLING EMPTY,
WARNING WHISPERS FLY,
BUT MY CAUTIOUS FEET WON'T BY.

IN CROWDS TALKING LOUD,
CALLOUS WORDS AND WALKING LONELY,
CHANCES PASS ME BY,
JUST A FOOL TO HEAR HIS CRY.

OOH IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO (MUST BE SOMETHING, SOMETHING),
OOH IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO (MUST BE SOMETHING, SOMETHING),
OOH IS THERE SOMETHING (SOMETHING), SOMETHING WE CAN DO. (OOH)
OOH IS THERE SOMETHING (SOMETHING), SOMETHING WE CAN DO. (OOH)

CAN'T YOU STAY EMOTIONAL
CHANGING MY HEART
I'LL BE WITH YOU
SOMETHING'S ALWAYS TURNING

ALL PIE IN THE SKY,
I COULD NOT SEE THE STORMY WEATHER,
RUMOURS ALL AROUND,
MY EARS DON'T HEAR THE SOUND.

OLD TOWN, PEOPLE SIGH,
TRAFFIC FLOWS TO BUILD CONFUSION,
STILL THE WORLD GOES BY,
JUST A FOOL TO HEAR HIS CRY.

MANY TIMES I'VE TRIPPED ON THE GROUND THAT I TRUSTED,
PLAYED THE GAME TOO SAFE, AND MY HAND TOO CLOSE,
ONCE THERE WAS A TIME I SHOWED IT ALL,
STAKES WERE HIGH BUT MY HAND WAS SMALL.

OOH IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO (MUST BE SOMETHING, SOMETHING),
OOH IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO (MUST BE SOMETHING, SOMETHING),
OOH IS THERE SOMETHING (SOMETHING), SOMETHING WE CAN DO. (OOH)
OOH IS THERE SOMETHING (SOMETHING), SOMETHING WE CAN DO. (OOH)
OOH IS THERE SOMETHING (SOMETHING), SOMETHING WE CAN DO. (OOH)
CAN'T YOU STAY EMOTIONAL
DON'T TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING,
NOTHING THAT YOU WANNA DO.

DON'T TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING,
NOTHING THAT YOU WANNA DO.
DON'T TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING,
NOTHING THAT YOU WANNA DO.

SOMETHING WE CAN DO
DON'T TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING,
NOTHING THAT YOU WANNA DO.
SOMETHING WE CAN DO

DANCERS OF EVE . (b-side of "Burning Flame")

HE'S A HERO IN THE LAND OF A MILLION CASTLES,
A VICTOR OF A HUNDRED HARD FOUGHT BATTLES,
HIS ENEMIES FILING DOWN A THOUSAND PATHWAYS,
THEY SEE HIM AN TENSION...

SEE THE LINE OF A MILLION STRUGGLES,
SEE THE LINE OF A MILLION STRUGGLES.

STRIDING DOWN TO DANGEROUS WATERS SO OUT OF...
THE GLORY AND POWER IN THE BREAST OF THE DANCERS OF EVE.

SEE THE LINE OF A MILLION STRUGGLES,
SEE THE LINE OF A MILLION STRUGGLES.

PICTURE THE SCENE,
COULD YOU BELIEVE,
THE DANCERS OF EVE,
HAVE GOT YOU WHERE THEY WANT YOU.

JUST AS IT SEEMED,

THE DANCERS OF EVE,
ARE CALLING OUT TO YOU.

BEWILDERED,
STUMBLING HE WANDERS THROUGH DREAMS LEFT UNTOLD,
BLINDED BY LOVE        SOMETHING THAT'S COLD

PICTURE THE SCENE,
COULD YOU BELIEVE,
THE DANCERS OF EVE,
HAVE GOT YOU WHERE THEY WANT YOU.

JUST AS IT SEEMED,

THE DANCERS OF EVE,
ARE CALLING OUT TO YOU.

SEE THE LINE OF A MILLION STRUGGLES,
SEE THE LINE OF A MILLION STRUGGLES.

HEAL THE PAIN. (b-side of "Every Time That I See You")
            Recorded by Sandy McLelland

ALL THE WAY FOR GEORGIA GIRL,
HER ROADS THEY LEAD TO NOWHERE,
I CAN FEEL THE PAIN WITHIN HER NOW.

I PICKED HER UP OFF THE COBBLESTONES,
SHE HELD A BIBLE AND A ROAMING GUITAR,
WE PRAYED FOR THE TIMES SHE WENT ASTRAY.

HEAL THE PAIN, HEAL THE PAIN OH-HO.
HEAL THE PAIN, HEAL THE PAIN OH-HO

DON'T YOU COME AROUND HERE NO MORE,
WITH THOSE IDEAS IN YOUR HEAD,
YOUR FATHER DEMANDED,
YOUR FATHER DEMANDED.

OH-OH  DON'T YOU COME AROUND HERE NO MORE,
TIL YOU FEEL MY PARENTS DREAD,
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN ANGERED.
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN ANGERED.

IT'S TOO LATE FOR GEORGIA GIRL,
AND I KNOW SHE'S SMILING SOMEWHERE,
FEW HEARTS CAN STILL REMEMBER NOW.

HEAL THE PAIN, HEAL THE PAIN OH-HO,
YOU CAN MAKE IT,
HEAL THE PAIN, HEAL THE PAIN OH-HO,
YOU CAN SHAKE IT.

DON'T YOU COME AROUND HERE NO MORE,
WITH THOSE IDEAS IN YOUR HEAD,
YOUR FATHER DEMANDED,
YOUR FATHER DEMANDED.

NO,  DON'T YOU COME AROUND HERE NO MORE,
TIL YOU FEEL MY PARENTS DREAD,
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN ANGERED.
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN ANGERED.

HEAL THE PAIN, HEAL THE PAIN OH-HO.
HEAL THE PAIN, HEAL THE PAIN OH-HO

DON'T YOU COME AROUND HERE NO MORE,
WITH THOSE IDEAS IN YOUR HEAD,
YOUR FATHER DEMANDED,
YOUR FATHER DEMANDED.

NO,  DON'T YOU COME AROUND HERE NO MORE,
TIL YOU FEEL MY PARENTS DREAD,
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN ANGERED.
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN ANGERED.

HEAL THE PAIN, HEAL THE PAIN OH-HO,
YOU CAN MAKE IT,
HEAL THE PAIN, HEAL THE PAIN OH-HO,
YOU CAN SHAKE IT.

DON'T STOP (AND LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC) (b-side of "Circus Ring") (4:00)
              (Produced by Ross Cullum & Chris Hughes)

YOU TAKE A CHANCE ALL YOUR TROUBLES GO BY,
HE WHISPERS LOVE AND MOVES YOU SLOWLY,
AND I CAN SEE THERE'S THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYE,
HE'S GOT TO YOU.

AND SO YOU FALL ALWAYS FIGHTING THE TIDE,
HE SHIFTS THE PACE AND LEAVES YOU STRANDED,
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW JUST HOW EASY HE LIES,
HE'LL TAKE IT ALL AND LEAVE YOU BRANDED.

BUT I KNOW THE POWER IN HIS HAND AS IT
REACHES OUT TO BE YOUR LOVING MAN,

DON'T STOP TO LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC,

DON'T STOP TO LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC,
CAUSE HE'S TAKING YOUR BODY AWAY IN THE NIGHT.

AND THROUGH THE NIGHT WHEN YOU NEEDED A FRIEND,
YOU TRADE YOUR HEART UNTIL THE MORNING,
BUT TALKING BOYS JUST MAKE LOVE AND PRETEND,
YOU TURN AWAY AND DON'T HEED MY WARNING.

BUT I KNOW THE POWER IN HIS HAND, AS HE
REACHES OUT TO BE YOUR LOVING MAN,
WELL I'VE LOVED YOU, I'VE LOVED YOU ALL I CAN, BUT IF THAT'S
NOT ENOUGH THEN SO BE IT, BUT...

DON'T STOP AND LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC,
THE NOTES MIGHT CHOKE YOU AS HE WALKS ON BY,
NEVER OPENS HIS EYES TO SEE HOW HE HURT YOU,
BUT HE'S TAKING YOUR BODY AWAY IN THE NIGHT.

THIS BOY WILL TAKE YOU DOWN,
HE'LL MESS YOU AROUND IN THE USUAL WAY,
HE'LL TAKE WHAT HE WANTS AND WALK AWAY.

DON'T STOP TO LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC,
THE NOTES MIGHT CHOKE YOU AS HE WALKS ON BY, NO
DON'T STOP TO LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC,
BUT HE'S TAKING YOUR BODY AWAY IN THE NIGHT.

WELL I KNOW THE POWER IN HIS HAND, AS HE
REACHES OUT TO BE YOUR LOVING MAN,
WELL  I KNOW, I KNOW HE'S IN COMMAND, BUT IF YOU'RE
TAKEN IN THEN RUN TO HIM, BUT ...

DON'T STOP AND LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC
THE NOTES MIGHT CHOKE YOU AS HE WALKS ON BY,
NEVER OPENS HIS EYES TO SEE HOW HE HURT YOU,
BUT HE'S TAKING YOUR BODY AWAY IN THE NIGHT.

DON'T STOP TO LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC
THE NOTES MIGHT CHOKE YOU AS HE WALKS ON BY,
NEVER OPENS HIS EYES TO SEE HOW HE HURT YOU,
BUT HE'S TAKING YOUR BODY AWAY IN THE NIGHT.
 

WINDS OF CHANGE. (b-side of "Hi Hi Friend")
           (Produced by The Dancing Waiter)

TOOK A TAXI,
RODE THE SUBWAY,
THE WORLD LOOKED PRETTY,
AND SNOW WAS ON THE GROUND.

SMILING FACES,
WARM EMBRACES,
YOU TOSSED A COIN,
BUT YOU ONLY SEE ONE SIDE.

OOH, THE WINDS OF CHANGE,
THEY FOLLOW YOU,
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE PAIN.

THROUGH THE BACKSTREETS,
A DIFFERENT PICTURE,
OF MUDDY BACKLANES,
SAY WHO DO WE PROTECT.

AND BONEY CHILDREN,
SIT HERE WAITING,
OUR MEMORIES FADING,
HOW EASY WE FORGET.

OOH, THE WINDS OF CHANGE,
THEY FOLLOW YOU,
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE PAIN.

ARMED IN THE CONGREGATION,
YOU SEE THE ONES THAT SMILE,
THE SMALLEST VOICE,
OF THE WEAK AND LONELY CHILD.

OOH, THE WINDS OF CHANGE,
THEY FOLLOW YOU,
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE PAIN.

WE SEE THE FUTURE,
GOING HIGH TECH,
A GIANT STEP FOR MAN,
WHO'S SHOOTING FOR THE MOON,
A DIFFERENT VIEWPOINT,
ANOTHER TARGET
WE LEAVE THE HELPLESS,
AND SIMPLY PASS THEM BY

OOH, THE WINDS OF CHANGE,
THEY FOLLOW YOU,
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE PAIN.

ARMED IN THE CONGREGATION,
YOU SEE THE ONES THAT SMILE,
THE SMALLEST VOICE,
OF THE WEAK AND LONELY CHILD.
