THE RIGHT THING RIGHT
Love fights love
Invading my zero gravity
The crowd grows
And grows illusions
Down on quantity street
High speed our miracles
Way too smart
But short on innocence
Endorphin heaven
I believe it all but I don't feel it
My heads in the South now
Individual citizens
Hear it
My hearts in the North now
Individual citizen
Here it is
The star just got lit
On the right thing right
We got a right thing
Hear me, the wonder of it
On the right thing right
I'm on the right thing
Every word's hidden meaning
Loses me and now its so loud
I can't receive
And what you're asking
Seems to be a voice so now
I can't be reached
And we're, and we're, and we're, and we're
Individual citizens
Here it is
The star just got lit
On the right thing right
I'm on the right thing
Hear me, the wonder of it
On the right thing right
I'm on the right thing
Love finds love it's following
And what we're after
Seems to be a voyage so far it can't be reached
And we're, and we're, and we're, and we're
Individual citizens
Here it is
The star just got lit
On the right thing right
I'm on the right thing
Take it
Life just got a hit
On the right thing right
I'm on the right thing
Hear it
The signs just won't quit
On the right thing right
I'm on the right thing
Hear me, the wonder of it
On the right thing right
I'm on the right thing

I WANT THE HEARTBEAT
Pulse correct my lottery
And life's a ward
Now she's on me
Fast machine transmits
Her wave to wave activity
Pure correct technology
Quick ! strap - connect that beat to me
Flatline reveal transmits
Heart rate to her maximum beat
I want the heartbeat
Pulse connect that kick for me
All night I've got your frequency
Fast machine transmits
Your wave to wave activity

Let me fix her up again
Hook me up

EUROPEAN ME
Now there is no turning back
Once gone the traces impact
War child there's no changing
Arrive
Alive
Ride
Cry
Hide out
Watch out, there's some covered track
Native born
We see the shores come
Nowhere, but it's a better life
Heroes in an empty station
We could be safe
And we're free and home
Offer me asylum
Free
So safe and we'll see
It's all for me and
I was outside
And I've still got a place to go
Native born
We see the shores come
Nowhere, but it's a better life
Heroes in an empty station
Again
We get the past back
Refugee won't always want to come back
And we're free and home
Offer me asylum
Free
At home
So safe and we'll be home
What's outside ?
Have we still got a place to go ?
Native born
We see the shores, come
Nowhere, but it's a better life
Heroes in an empty station
We can be safe and
We're free and home
Offer me asylum
Free and home
Europa will be
A home all for me and
I was outside
Have we still got a place to go ?

UPSTARTS
Oh
I feel it coming round
I hear it
Sounds like the good life
I know
Oh
I see us running down
Defiance comes
Oh
The underground is overground
The overground will pull you down
It's how it goes
In these times
How we know
Is in their eyes
Upstarts now
Are on their way
Upstarts now
Have to pay
Oh
I hear us
Coming round
Denial comes
Oh
The underground is overground
The overground will pull you down
It's how it goes in these times
How we know
Is in our eyes
Upstarts now
Are on their way
Upstarts now
Have to pay
And hear her tell it now
It's so fast
Oh
I hear us coming round
Oh
I feel it
Upstarts are on the way

LOCKDOWN
Look out everyone
I've been pushed hard for too long
Take back what they've done
It's a lockdown
Touch out if we want
Home is a city
It's gone and I'm a loser
And they took back what I want
Another lockdown
Freeze out
If we want
Love is a city
A war
And I'm a loser
Can I get back what I want
In a lost town ?
I know I was born between the exit streets
And entry's beats and
A salvage situation
Where nobody goes
An education I still don't know
Coastline of neon
Makes me look out to what's gone
Right now there's no better in this town
Ghosts out tonight
Help me break out of life
These times define me in this town
I know I was born between the angel's streets
And entry's beats
And someone's situation that's nobody's home
An education that I still don't know
Look out everyone
Freezed out
And we was
Give back
Come on
Lockdown
Oh, touch out everyone
Be fast 'cos we're gone
Come back
It's on another lockdown
A Lockdown

THE MESSENGER
I'm seeing in you something
The life you're wanting takes too long
You seem so heavy
I'm fine just talking if you want
Don't want to be the messenger
I'm seeing in you something
Your eyes are open and you're on
I'm here and I'm ready
My time's for taking if you want
Who wants to be a messenger ?
Who wants to be a messenger ?

GENERATE ! GENERATE !
I blaze by and I wonder why
Calculate calculate calculate
I divide and I multiply
Calculate calculate calculate
Sensation versus thinking
An equation
No good for nothing
Same old song
What's going on ?
Calculate calculate calculate
I come by
Let the atoms fly
Generate ! generate ! generate !
You've got know-how
I've got to know
Now !
Calculate calculate calculate
Sensations versus thinking
Oh no no no !
Its beginning
Get heard, see the atoms swerve
Generate ! generate ! generate !
That's the way that I go
Cascading, I know
Accelerating I go
That's the way that I go too
Sensations jacked my thinking
Equations
No good for nothing
Fast crash philosophy
Fast track philosophy
I can't get behind a one track mind
Calculate calculate calculate
Rising son
Switch on the re-run
Generate ! generate ! generate !
A sensation got my thinking
Equation
No good for nothing
Cogito ergo dumb
Generate ! generate ! generate !
That's the way that I go
Cascading, I know
Accelerating I go
Pulsating I go too
Sensations jacked my thinking
Oh no ! no ! no !
Good for nothing
Fast crash philosophy
Flash track philosophy
Cascading I go
Accelerating I go
Sensations jacked my thinking
Oh no ! no ! no !
It's beginning
Fast crash philosophy

SAY DEMESNE
We were crawling out of step, wrecked
And we walked
A secret for a while
But that's ok
So we thought
Steal my cards
And soul
And sell 'cos you can
Say Demesne
They get you
To get what they want
But you're in for love
You're in for love
And you will fight love
You're in for love
You still fight love
But you're in for love
And you will fight love
You're fucked, drunk, and your memory's stuck
Crashing, and turned to go back home
You're forgot
Feel no good
They're not
They're lost
And you're lost
Take Demesne to a room where she opens your heart
But you're in for love
You're in for love
And you will fight love
You're in for love
You still fight love
You're in for love
And you will fight love
You're in for love
And you will fight love

SUN AND MOON
Cut here and Snap
Hurry up
See
Let's get rich
And get the feeling to have it
A face that fits you
It really fits you
It's a snip
Bruised is a habit now
A reason to have it all
Here it is
Step it up kids
Have it all
Take
And acquire
I want
I've got an ambition

THE CRACK UP
Dogs at the footsteps
Transforms the model teen
Glamour automaker
Disguise the money
A live assembly line
Your face will never be the same
Who could ask for more ?
Who would ask for more ?
Come, see how it's done
Eating every mistake
Your eyes are dynamite
Disguise and dominate
If the girl could never get lost
How is she gonna be found ?
And she can't find herself
She's gone and jumped out of it
One fall and she's out of it
Her smiles are miles of metaphor
Don't crack up
It don't add up
No U-turn
You turn a mean catwalk
So take off
Tick tock
Whose gonna fix your walk ?
And you walk when you're broken up
Take her
Face off
Tick tock
Full stop
Don't you want to get lost ?
You know it devastates
Glamour auto monkey
Disguise and dominate
The girl could never get lost
How is she gonna be found ?
Couldn't find herself
One fall and she's out of it
Her smiles are miles of metaphor
Don't crack up
It don't add up
No U-turn
You turn a mean catwalk
So take off
Tick tock
Whose gonna fix your walk ?
And you walk when you're broken up
Take her face off
Tick tock
Full stop

NEW TOWN VELOCITY
Left home a mystery
Leave school for poetry
I say goodbye to them & me
Mission velocity
It made me just run faster now
I'm gonna take it all
Drive around
Make up my mind
With the windows down
I'm in something alright I know
I got to live it out uh-oh
I can't resist
Net force zero oh no
It turned out like I said it would
Can I get the world right here ?
Step out to symphonies
They play on for you and me
When we faced that July dawn
In uniforms
One and one, no wrong
We chased that summer down
I'm in something alright I know
I got to live it out uh-oh
I can't resist
Net force zero oh no
It turned out like I said it would
Can I get the world right here ?
I can't resist
Net force zero oh no
It turned out like I said it would
Can I get the world right here ?
Hello you mystery
Mission velocity
Here comes our poetry
New town velocity

WORD STARTS ATTACK
Days of no reason are upon us
Count the ways to rage on us
All the things that the new world promised
Has made things that are not for us
Made me wonder was it worth it
Makes me wonder is it worth it
I started sayin' "smash some mirrors"
Words travel fast
Words travel fast
Worlds started to crack
Word starts an attack
Communication
What's with it ?
I don't want to get up to it
All the things that the new world promised
Has made things that are not for us
I started sayin' "smash some mirrors"
And I get out of this
And I get out of this
And I get out of this
And I get out.
Someone stop us
And I get out of this
