It's time to tear this place down
I've got the last gig on my mind
Not seen my friends in ages
Have I been left behind?
It's time to figure out why
I find myself in custody
With each and every question
Words come so easily

Fly to El Salvador
I don't know why and I don't know
what for
I've seen the picture for myself
Where did that label go?
I tried it out but it didn't work so
I'll choose the picture for myself

It's time to start all over
Take only one thing spare to wear
Head for the check-in lights and
Get up into the air
It's time to take new measures
Someone will put us up tonight
Far from our place of rest I've
Almost got you in sight

Fly to El Salvador
I don't know why and I don't know
what for
I've seen the picture for myself
Where did that label go?
I tried it out but it didn't work so
I'll choose the picture for myself

First class and big hotels
(I can't quite put my finger on it)
Videos and global sales
(I can't quite put my finger on it)
"Free" drinks that you pay yourself
(I can't quite put my finger on it)

Fly to El Salvador
I don't know why and I don't know
what for
I've seen the picture for myself
Where did that label go?
I tried it out but it didn't work so
I'll choose the picture for myself

Bring in in the new sound
make it in, oh please make it in
all i have been missing
fill me in, please fill me in

oh this is beautiful
i've got to soak it up
i've got to soak it up
oh this is beautiful
i've got to soak it up
i've got to soak it up

give me teeth that are golden
and grown up food to eat
shine, shine that light
make it in, bring it in

oh this is beautiful
i've got to soak it up
i've got to soak it up

oh-oh this is beautiful
i've got to soak it up
i've got to soak it up

oh this is beautiful
i've got to soak it up
i've got to soak it up

oh-oh this is beautiful
i've got to soak it up
i've got to soak it up

Oh no, gone and put my foot in it
again
Think back, can't believe that it was
me who said that
Last time, I promised I'd bite my
tongue until I counted to ten

I said, oh it's getting hot in here,
Must be something in the
atmosphere
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, it's getting hot in here,
Must be something in the
atmosphere
Oh, we could be laughing about it,
Making the most of the true British
climate
Oh, it's getting hot in here,
Must be something in the
atmosphere
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I've seen the tension on the high
street growing lately
Seems that you have to be careful
who you look at
Sometimes I can't see things the way
you see them
But this is our home

I said, oh it's getting hot in here,
Must be something in the
atmosphere
Oh, we could be laughing about it,
Making the most of the true British
climate
Oh, it's getting hot in here,
Must be something in the
atmosphere
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Yeah, you got the style
And we got the style
And they got the style
And everybody's got it

And you got the style
And we got the style
And they got the style
And everybody's got it

And you got the style
And we got the style
And they got the style
And everybody's got it

And you got the style
And we got the style
Oh oh

Oh, it's getting hot in here,
Must be something in the
atmosphere
Oh, we could be laughing about it,
Making the most of the true British
climate
Oh, it's getting hot in here,
Must be something in the
atmosphere
Oh, oh, oh, oh

you got wires, goin in
you got wires, comin out of your skin
you got tears
making tracks
i got tears
that are scared of the facts

running down corridors
through automatic doors
got to get to you
got to see this through
i see hope is here in a plastic box
i've seen christmas lights reflect in
your eyes

you got wires, goin in
you got wires, comin out of your skin
there's dry blood on your wrist
your dry blood on my fingertip

running down corridors
through automatic doors
got to get to you
got to see this through
first night of your life
curled up on your own
looking at you now
you would never know

i see it in your eyes
i see it in your eyes
you'll be alright

i see it in your eyes
i see it in your eyes
you'll be alright
Alright

running down corridors
through automatic doors
got to get to you
got to see this through
i see hope is here in a plastic box
i've seen christmas lights reflect in
your eyes

down corridors
through automatic doors
got to get to you
got to see this through
first night of your life
curled up on your own
looking at you now
you would never know


. . .


The sun got stuck, as it's making it's way back down,
We find ourselves, in a familiar part of town

And all that I've seen means nothing to me without you

So when I see you next we'll make the most of it,
Tell the sun to start moving again,
The taste of your kiss I still got on my lips,
And ill take you there with me

My head crashed down, and conditioned myself to sleep,
The great night out, that will continue to the end of the week

And all that I've seen means nothing to me without you

So when I see you next we'll make the most of it,
Tell the sun to start moving again,
The taste of your kiss I still got on my lips,
And ill take you there with me

It's you and me connected to a satellite
It's you and me love through a machine
It's you and me connected to a satellite
It's you and me love through a machine

So when I see you next we'll make the most of it,
Tell the sun to start moving again,
The taste of your kiss I still got on my lips,
And I'll take you there with me

. . .


All the energetic people they all
sparkle as they're walking down the
street
Can't see their faces but I've noticed
that they seem to have big hands
The stage is set, is there glamour,
who's got my Etnies?

Now you know that I can see you
and you know that it is easy
To see me something has been on
my mind, something has struck me
Kind of odd, look out for quicksand,
there is high ground
Who wants this rockscene?

We sing
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene

Now the time has come and yeah the
show it must stay strong
And are we all part of the latest
craze or is this how we mend our
ways
And I can hear the taxi calling, telling
me we haven't left yet.
As the lights go on with emptiness
and how you seem to stand out
In a crowd you raise the tempo in
the disco as you make this place
your own
The stage is set, is there glamour,
I'm in this rockscene

CHORUS!
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene

House on the rock
Surely it will last forever?
House on the rock
Don't you know it's now or never?
House on the rock
Surely it will last forever?
House on the rock

CHORUS!
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene
Whenever you look you can see that
everybody wants to be part of the
rockscene

When when when when whenever,
rock scene! (repeat)

It's the simple things like the robots
stevie g draws
and the ease with which we seem to
pull those tricks
there are moments of escape for
every one of us
and the beauty in the times that we
create

i saw you smiling....
and i need my vehicles and animals
and i will be alright
take me back to nineteen seventy
nine
so i can find my open eyes

he can play all by himself for many
hours
i have never seen a kid who's so
content
there is nothing from the outside
that can touch him
cos he's just learning how to be
alone with one

i saw you smiling....
and i need my vehicles and animals
and i will be alright
take me back to nineteen seventy
nine
so i can find my open eyes
and i need my vehicles and animals
and i will be alright
take me back to nineteen seventy
nine
so i can find my open eyes

lying down on my bed
i just got another kick to the head
oh yeah you're a part of me
yet another branch on the family
tree
salt on my fingers salt in my cuts
salt on my face and salt in my guts
it's been a battle but we've come
through ok
stop what you're doing and play

cos we've got our vehicles and
animals so
we're gonna be alright
there's no need for us to go back in
time
because we've found our open eyes

we've got our vehicles and animals
so we're gonna be alright
there's no need for us to go back in
time
because we've found our open eyes


. . .


This European air,
it always warms my face,
I wish I could buy some.

I will bring you stories,
And brilliant photos,
like a regular tourist.

-Chorus-

We don't go breaking down,
I feel like nothing ever will,
We don't go breaking down,
I feel like nothing.

Suitcases down our street,
Are rolling once again,
I roll away with them,
Five days inside Zoo York,
To lose myself with friends,
I'm nowhere without you.

We don't go breaking down,
I feel like nothing ever will,
We don't go breaking down
(I don't believe)
I feel like nothing ever will,
We will never go breaking down,
I feel like nothing.

Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby

I'm counting up the cost of time,
We cannot save ourselves alone.

Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you.


. . .


All the places we grew up,
We're playing hide and seek,
Disappearing wall when you'll sleep

Is it something we gotta get used to?
Is it something we gotta get used to? whoa.

Hurricane.
Oh hurricane.

All the millions that we marched with
It never made a sound, never made a sound on your lips.

Is it something we gotta get used to?
But we're not giving up the coastline so easily.

Oh hurricane.
Oh hurricane.

I don't wanna run,
I've been here since I was young
Whoa this city day could be gone within the hour.

Oh hurricane, what you gonna do to us this time?
Oh hurricane, what you gonna do to us this time?

Oh hurricane!

Is it something we gotta get used to?
(x2)
and it's something we gotta get used to..
and we're not giving up the coastline so easily.

Oh hurricane!

. . .


We can't walk in straight lines
We can't see quite right
We've lost the plot and we can't get it back
So let's lose ourselves
Let's lose ourselves
Can you spot the English here?

We'll pick a fight on whoever we like
Cause we're never wrong
Nobody likes us
We don't care
So let's lose ourselves
Let's lose ourselves
Can you spot the English here?

We can see it for real but it doesn't make sense
We're the outsiders
You see all this speech come staggering out
And it can climb its way to the top of that cloud
Oh I'm away with the fairies now
I'm away with the fairies now
I'm away with the fairies now
I'm away with the fairies now

This familiar environment has my lungs confused
I breathe in every particle
That you drive through
That you drive through
Can you spot the English here?

We can see it for real but it doesn't make sense
We're the outsiders
You see all this speech come staggering out
And it can climb its way to the top of that cloud
Oh I'm away with the fairies now
I'm away with the fairies now
I'm away with the fairies now
I'm away with the fairies now

. . .


Hold On,
Doesn't have to be that way
Be Strong,
I know that we can work it out
It's nothing, just a minor scratch
On the surface of your beautiful skin

And I will remember
Times that have gone
Look to the future, and
Stand in the sun

Hold on there is nothing left for me to say
Run your fingers down my lonely spine
Come closer, breathe your breath of my back
Yeah, come closer wear this love around your neck

And I will remember
Times that have gone
Look to the future, and
Stand in the sun

And I will remember
Times that have gone
We will look to the future
Stand in the sun

. . .


People rushing left to right
There's pretty faces left to right
I'm just frozen staring into space

Faster than the speed of light
I'm holding on, I'm holding tight
'Cause stars are gonna crash into
this place

And it's caught wide screen so we
dont miss a thing
Now I'm standing clear 'cause all I
waited for is...

Closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours
We're closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours


This is more than daily bread,
It's three degrees, It's something
else,
And you just take it all into your
stride

Couldn't be an accident
'Cause I cant see no ambulance,
I know that we will work it out this
time

And its caught wide screen so we
dont miss a thing
Now I'm standing clear 'cause all I
waited for is...

Closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours
We're closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours

Closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours
Now we're closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours

It's not over, It's not over
We've still got twenty four hours
It's not over, It's not over yet
We've still got twenty four hours


. . .


Fire on the hill
Fire in me still
I feel out of my league
But you turn around and you say to me that

I love everybody here
And I agree
I love everybody here

Sun has long gone out
Sun comes up like it's been about a year
I don't mind if we
Drink again my friend

'cause there is so much left to say
There is so much left to say
There is so much left to say
There is so much left to say

People for miles, opening up
People for miles, in focus and not
We'd be ok if
We had answers to questions in rhymes and in reasons
You leave it to me to be all of four seasons

I love everybody here
And I agree
I love everybody here
I love everybody here
I love everybody here
I love everybody here
I love everybody here
Life is beautiful for sure
'cause I love everybody here

. . .


I am Tokyo
I am here
I am blazing lights on your street

I? an upstart
Bound to cross you
I? the hypocrite by your side

She won't forget
& I won't forget

And no one around could tell us apart
Cause we were one mouth and one robot heart

I am Tokyo
I am here
I am neon signs on your street

I'm an army of wind turbines
Marching over your countryside

She won't forget
& I won't forget

And no one around could tell us apart
Cause we were one mouth and one robot heart

There's never enough time
Only, only
A glare off rainbow bridge
Pin prick to the heart
Again and again
I felt every spark

And no one around could tell us apart
Cause we are were one mouth and one robot heart
We're burning through town like there's nothing to lose
Cause we are were one mouth and one robot heart

He sees the flames in her tears
Sketching on her skin and he knows
That it’s come to an end
And there’s no point pretending it’s not

And it’s a long way down
It’s a long way down from here
And it’s a long way down
It’s a long way down from here

So she smashes the glass
And there’s blood on her hands and her skirt
There’s the wind and the sun
And fresh air in their lungs once again

And it’s a long way down
It’s a long way down from here
And it’s a long way down
It’s a long way down from here

So he closes his eyes and thinks
Maybe I’ll be surprised if I do
I just might fall into another realm
And make a new home there with you

And it’s a long way down
It’s a long way down from here
And it’s a long way down
It’s a long way down from here

It’s best not to think about
Just put your arms around me
It’s best not to think about
Just put your arms around me
It’s best not to think about
Just put your arms around me

. . .


Your eyes are glued to that crack in the pavement
You're looking down cause you can't look at me
Oblivious to skyscapers and passing planes
They're straining necks and they're flickering light saying...

There is hope
There is grace
We're not done
Stay gold

There is hope
There is grace
We're not done
Stay gold

Your tears are filling that crack in the pavement
You're looking down cause you can't look at me
Oblivious to bars in those lonely night trains
They're reaching out and they're flickering light saying...

There is wine you should try
And rivers and beaches that you've not seen
There's some wine, you should try
Rivers and beaches that you've not seen

It's all about to end
It's all about to end
And there's no use defending
It's all about to end

You'd poured your heart to that crack in the pavement
Been looking down and you look at me
All our surroundings pull my hand to your face,
strained towards me and eyes flicker light saying...

There is hope
There is grace
We're not done
Stay gold
There's some wine you should try
Rivers and beaches that you've not seen

It's all about to end
It's all about to end
And there's no use defending
It's all about to end
