1. Never Saw It Coming

It's all gone crazy
It's all gone mad
When a half a million total strangers
Sing hallelujah it can't be bad
Everyone's a winner
Get on your knees and pray
And if this is the second coming
Oh Lord what a perfect day

They're tearing down the walls
They're dancing naked in Times Square
They're marching through the strets
There's celebrations everywhere
Headlines in The Sun
Scandal at the House Of Lords
There's food to feed the world
But who's gonna tell the starving

Never saw it coming

Artist paints his picture
Soldier goes to war
Mother Earth is screaming now
She can't take no more
We worship power
Who wants to be God?
There's too many critics here
All after one job

They're tearing down the walls
They're dancing naked in Times Square
They're marching through the streets
There's celebrations everywhere
Headlines in The Sun
Scandal at the House Of Lords
There's food to feed the world
But who's gonna tell the starving

Never saw it coming

New York Stockholm Belfast Berlin
Moscow London Paris and Rome
Hamburg Peking Lisbon Madrid
Glasgow Beirut Sydney and Prague

There's a streetwise cowboy
Who no longer rides the range
A crazy spaced out monkey
An ape that's got no name
A spaceship landed in the park
Where're you coming from dude?
And deep down in the underground
I heard something move

2. Sound Of The Underground

Time and space, ghosts from the underworld
Lives we shape, truth and the spoken word
The future is waiting, the circle is set
We move with precision

Night and day, God and the evil one
Ice and fire, change that's gonna come
The future is waiting, the circle is set
We move with precision

Dance to the beat of the underground
Hey all you creatures of the night
Move to the sound of the underground
Feel the rhythm, feel the life

Thoughts and dreams, life on a higher plain
Wheels that turn, fate – a subway train
The future is waiting, the circle is set
We move with precision

Dance to the beat of the underground
Hey all you creatures of the night
Move to the sound of the underground
Feel the rhythm, feel the life

There's a sound that keeps going round
It's coming from the underground
Dance to the rhythm, move in the light

We've got a long way to go
We gotta ride on the tide
We've come a long way for this
We gotta ride on the tide

Dance to the beat of the underground
Hey all you creatures of the night
Move to the sound of the underground
Feel the rhythm, feel the life

3. Cry From The Street

Leathal weapon, blood shot eyes
Another crackhead trying to make it to paradise
Young white dude fingers his crucifix
Smart dressed pimp snorts his designer fix
Life here's for winners, death is for fools
While tanned Al Pacinos orchestrate every move
Down by the river the homeless retire
To a night of near freezing 'round a half lit campfire

Hey dude, you know this place is on fire
Hey man, there's so much hate and desire
Hey Ma, do you remember my name?
Hey God, we're still bleeding
It's a cry from the street

Sirens wailing, there's a crowd on the strip
Waiting for a jumper to take his last trip
A travelling salesman from his hotel room buys a thrill
A teenage schoolgirl's sugar daddy pays the bill
A nervous driver pulls into the kerb
Shots ring out, screams can be heard
A bloodstained youth runs from the scene
As tyres screetch down the backroads
It's all a bad dream

Hey dude, you know this place is on fire
Hey man, there's so much hate and desire
Hey Ma, do you remember my name?
Hey God, we're still bleeding
It's a cry from the street

It's full of scum down here, why don't you disappear?
Get off your ass and get a job you idle git
Two four six eight, shut your mouth and give us break
Two four six eight, who do we appreciate?
United, united

4. Homeless

Goodnight Mother
Hello friend
Sleep tight brother
Till we meet again
I still love you
Miss you so much
Goodbye Father
I guess we just lost touch
But I wanna know
If you still care
But I wanna know
Are you still there?

5. Child Of The Dark Sky

New morning, it's another day
The world is waking
Sad eyes frozen in fear
Lost souls, lost children
And we turn the T.V. on
In the warmth of our home
Drive our air conditioned 3 litre sports
While you're alone

Child of the dark summer skies
I hear you calling
Child of the dark summer skies
Your day is dawning
Child of the dark skies

The wind blows, it cuts like ice
The rain keeps falling
No mothers' arms to hold you tight
No hand to feed you
Our kids sleep soundly in their beds
Safe from the storm
We watch them grow, we watch them run free
While you're laone

Child of the dark summer skies
I hear you calling
Child of the dark summer skies
Your day is dawning
Child of the dark skies

What a price to pay for just being born
When there's so much love to go round and around
It makes no sense who has a right to it all
In the end

Child of the dark summer skies
I hear you calling
Child of the dark summer skies
Your day is dawning
Child of the dark skies

6. Dreamtime

I've got no colour
But I've got soul
I've got my freedom
It's priceless I'm told
Don't drive a big car
One day I might
Never been to Russia
But they say it's alright

Never climbed a mountain
Never reached the top
Gotta keep pushin'
Don't know when to stop
I'm always workin'
Gotta pay the rent
Lottery's my ticket
You know it makes sense

I need a Dreamtime to live
We need a Dreamtime to take us somewhere
I need a Dreamtime to love
We need a Dreamtime to take us somewhere

I'm a free spirit
Play by the rules
Got my hands on the trigger
I'm nobody's fool
I still believe in good
Believe in love
I've got faith in the powers above

I need a Dreamtime to live
We need a Dreamtime to take us somewhere
I need a Dreamtime to love
We need a Dreamtime to take us somewhere

Christians and Muslims
Buddhists and Jews
All our children
Wise men and fools
Mothers and fathers
Beggars and queens
Brothers and sisters
We all have our dreams

I need a Dreamtime to live
We need a Dreamtime to take us somewhere
I need a Dreamtime to love
We need a Dreamtime to take us somewhere

7. Spaced Out Monkey

You're a Monkey

Star trekker, it's getting better
Space cadet did you get my letter
Don't give a shit, we've got the monolith
It's in our hands and we're on a future trip
Night caller, smooth talker
You're messing with the real moonwalker
Gonna fly, touch the sky
It's gonna happen on the fourth of July

You're a monkey, you're a monkey
You're a monkey, you're a monkey

Thrill seeker, bent preacher
Hallelujah there's a lesson I can teach yer
Got a rocket in my pocket
I'm gonna launch it and you can't stop it
Science fiction, it's my addiction
Got all the comics and a Klingon assistant
Bad dudes, drug store
You're going boldly where you ain't been before

I'm a crazy spaced out monkey
I'm a cosmic superman
We're crazy spaced out monkeys and we don't give a damn

You're a monkey, you're a monkey

Space shuttle, streetcar
I'm gonna take you up to Venus and Mars
Prize fighter, billionaire
They're haunted by the same nightmare
Apemen, John Glenn
Take me back to warp factor ten
Magnetic shield, force field
Look into the skies and all will be revealed

You're a monkey, you're a monkey
You're a monkey, you're a monkey

Evolution, world pollution
Clean up your act that's my solution
Gold miner, lonely diner
Invaders are a comin' so you better get a hiding
Black hole, brothers with soul
Puff Daddy Chuck Berry Nat King Cole
Mr Spock, Captain Kirk
Beam me up Scotty and let's get to work

I'm a crazy spaced out monkey
I'm a cosmic superman
We're crazy spaced out monkeys and we don't give a damn

I'm a crazy spaced out monkey
I'm a cosmic superman
We're crazy spaced out monkeys and we don't give a damn

You're a monkey, you're a monkey
You're a monkey, you're a monkey

8. Streetwise Cowboy

Welcome to my world
You're just in time to catch the show
I call the tune round here
I'm the king of Leicester Square
Walking on high heel shoes
Living with man made blues
I know all the tricks
Cause I taught Jack the Lad
It ain't easy
Gets a little cold at night
But it's my party and I know
Yes I know

I'm a streetwise cowboy
I no longer ride the range
Cause I'm the inner city dude
I'm a drifter with no name
I'm a streetwise cowboy
You can write it on my grave
I'm a long haired beer swiggin' backpackin'
Hardlivin' son of a gun with a switchblade

Like the great wild west
You gotta hustle just to keep yourself alive
It's a balancing act
An old campaigner trying to walk the line
Brother can you spare some change?
It's thirsty work down the old Kent Road
Out on the west end trail
The pickings are rich on an opening night
It ain't easy
Gets a little cold at night
But it's my party and I know
Yes I know

I'm a streetwise cowboy
I no longer ride the range
Cause I'm the inner city dude
I'm a drifter with no name
I'm a streetwise cowboy
You can write it on my grave
I'm a long haired beer swiggin' backpackin'
Hardlivin' son of a gun with a switchblade

9. Alone

There's a new moon
Shining in an old grey sky
And the news ain't too good
If you're out on the street tonight
I turn my radio on
They're playing another sad old song
But I'm dying inside
How can I carry on?

I'm all alone here tonight
Going nowhere
I feel like running away
But there's nowhere to hide

10. Where You're Coming From

Out across the dark skies, shapes against the night
Hear the static build up, coloured beams of light
Mothership has landed, loading has begun
Leave it all behind you, your earthly work is done

I believe in you, I believe
Where you're coming from
I believe in you, I believe
Where you're coming from

We were always out there, keeping an eye on you
Sending out our signals, the message it got through
Truth is what you're searching for, truth is what you got
Now there's no cover up, there's no plot

I believe in you, I believe
Where you're coming from
I believe in you, I believe
Where you're coming from
Outer space is calling you, from the galaxy beyond
We have just a short time but the journey's long
We have seen the future, now we know the past
What we really hoped for, it will come to pass

I believe in you, I believe
Where you're coming from
I believe in you, I believe
Where you're coming from

I believe in you, I believe
Where you're coming from
I believe in you, I believe
Where you're coming from

11. Let Me Out Of Here

Close your eyes and wait for me
I'll see you on the other side
A dream might last a thousand years
But a soul will never die
We must learn to use our gift
We must communicate
There's more of us who understand
The more of us who wait

I still believe in Jesus
Though I see him in a different light
Now the cloak of ignorance
Can't hide a star so bright

Everything is possible now
We have seen the sign
A higher state of consciousness
A new found peace of mind
The playgrounds of technology
Now look towards the sky
Run free you spaced out monkey
For the sane man never lies

I still believe in Jesus
Though I see him in a different light
Now the cloak of ignorance
Can't hide a light so bright

Why don't you let me out of here?
Now there's nothing left to fear
Why don't you let me out of here?
Now there's nothing left to fear

All around is changing
Now the ape's become of age
But out there in the new world
There's still suffering and pain
And when you closed the door
And threw away the kay
The past came back to haunt you
Now it's time to set me free

I still believe in Jesus
Though I see him in a different light
Now the cloak of ignorance
Can't hide a star so bright

Why don't you let me out of here?
Now there's nothing left to fear
Why don't you let me out of here?
Now there's nothing left to fear
