INTIMACY (1983)

- NEW HOMES
Never trust strangers
Cause they'll blame you
You can't blame me for the state I'm in
Never trust blind men
Cause they'll lead you
They suck you in then they spit you out

CLEAR, BRIGHT, NEW, DAY
HERE, we're building new homes
NOW, inside your perfect estates
LIFE, well it's a hell of a joke
HERE, we owe it all to the state

I'll never trust strangers
Cause they laugh at me
You can't blame me it's the state I'm in
We can just hide our eyes
Until they find us
They suck you in then they spit you out

CLEAR, BRIGHT, NEW, DAY
HERE we're building new homes
NOW inside your perfect estates
LIFE well it's a hell of a joke
Fake tears to welcome you home
HERE, inside your perfect domain


- BIG ROOM SMALL VIEW
Big room small view
empty hands negative outlook
Big man small view
small mind similar outlook
Big man small view
Big room small view

Walking on a fine line
looking on the bright side
Walking on a fine line
looking at the outside

We look we listen we learn
We're proud we suffer we burn
We make mistakes
We win we suffer we lose
We fight we survive we change
Strong hearts feel pain


- THE VOICE HAS CHANGED
Open my eyes and I turn to the east
Close my eyes to a lifestyle in the west
Suspicious of the reason for a gift and of the hand
Painting pictures of a woman of a man

Open my wings and I fly to the south
You give me crap and say it's for the best
Lots of little people feeding people in the square
Marching up and down waving banners in the air

I opened my arms as I ran to the south
Recycling words I screamed for more
Stumbling to my feet I took a message to the hand
Constructing pictures of a woman of a man

In ignorant confusion I turned to the east
Closed my eyes to a family in the west
Lots of little people leading people in the square
Marching up and down waving banners in the air

Open my eyes and I turn to the east
Close my eyes to a place in the west
Painting little pictures of a room and of a man
Believing as only a dreamer really can

I open my wings and I fly to the south
You give me crap and say it's for the best
Lots of little people eating people in the square
Marching up and down waving banners in the air
THE VOICE HAS CHANGED


- A DAY IN THE FUTURE
How do you think I cope
Close my eyes and I go to sleep
I've always been a sensitive type
Lost in love pain and desertion
But you learn to live with these things
You learn to live with these things

How do you think I feel
I can see tomorrow and it's making me ill
We can go on pretending it will be all right
But there's really no point in me staying the night
You learn to live with these things
Learn to live with these things

Make up my own world one day in the future
MAKE UP YOUR OWN WORLD


- ACHING ARMS
I travel in eastern directions
I rise with the morning light
She bathes in her own perfection
I drown in her surface light
She moves towards conversation
I swallow my tongue
We indulge in each others reflection
It's a strain but it's always aching arms
Aching hearts

We travel in eastern directions
I swallow my tongue
We indulge in each others reflection
It's a strain but it's always aching arms
Aching hearts
FEELS LIKE PARADISE TO ME


- IN THE HEART
In the heart there's no turning back
No rules or lies to hold me back
In the heart there's no tomorrow
In the heart only pain and sorrow

In the heart I hear different sounds
Voices I've never heard before
In the heart there are strangers rooms
In the heart only pain and sorrow

In the heart there's no illusion
Stripped clean and left without expression
You face yourself and face your sorrow
In the heart feel pain and sorrow
