DO IT IN THE DARK
If you want to get rich in this country
You’re going to have to do it in the dark
If you want to tell lies in this country
You’re going to have to do it with all your heart
In this country we do it in the dark
In this country, turn off the light
If there’s someone you want dead in this country
Couldn’t have come to a better place
If you need to vanish in this country
Nothing’s easier than to change your face
Turn out the light
Do it in the dark

Fiction Factory

FICTION FACTORY
Breaking necks, the clockwork crush
Dreams track driven, uniforms on
Oil, alloys, and steam and gas
Turn from light and the pressure cracks
Heart beating – broken
Home coming – rented
Brain thinking – invented
It’s a fiction factory - oh yes – fiction factory
The wait, daylong never late
Token power to gain the gifts
Meals in queues, look to the gate
Turn again, will the time ever shift?

STEADY EDDIE STEADY
Hero stream across the pages,
Bewildered friends fall in your wake
Madman’s deadline got to make it
Got to make it through somehow
Steady Eddie steady is this the only way out
Eddie hold the gun steady
Gun barrel trembling, gun barrel trembling in your mouth
Found you out on a railroad track
Your eyes burned out speed black
You made it through that final door
Nobody’s ever gonna drag you back
Terminate!

EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL
Emotional blackmail, I love you so,
Emotional blackmail, it’s all we know
Emotional blackmail, I’ll never leave
Tied up, screwed down,
Tell me what happens when we don’t make our pay-offs
Mutual agreements, deadlines and payments
It’s blackmail
Emotional blackmail, there’s no release
Emotional blackmail. we do it with ease
Emotional blackmail, bleeds us dry
Emotional blackmail, deadlock, stalemate
We call the tune but what a price we play

BAD MOVE
Bad moves, no room to move
Too much too slow too soon
No room to move, bad moves
No, no, no, no, no, no – bad move
Bad moves, no room to move
A cuckoo in the nest
No room to move, bad moves

Let Go

LET GO
Say you want to leave me, do you think I care?
Hate the games that you play, loaded dice ain’t fair
Think that I have no style, how could you ever know
Only thing that you did was to let me go
If you got your woman, tied down
If you got your blue car, won’t start
Tell you what to do now, let go
Before it goes too far, get smart
Standing in the shadows, unseen
I’m the catcher man, that’s me
And anything you let go, let go
I’m gonna catch it if I can
You’ll see
I don’t want your nearness, no sick loving sigh
Won’t rely on you now, my pride is my pride
Hear your friends in alcoves rehearse their lies in rhyme
Only thing that I did was to waste my time.
