Gently ominous, but with a compelling beat and curious lyrics. 'Total war' is the kind where no prisoners are taken and nothing is pillaged; everything is destroyed.

We walk the streets together, with smiles on our faces

We talk nice to each other, and we listen when we have to

Maybe it's just over-rated, maybe I'm just isolated

We walk the streets together, we walk the streets together but

You don't like my friends

You don't like my clothes

You think that I'm crazy

Any other girl would just pass over

Any other girl would just pass over

Nothing ever comes between us, a no-man's land, a danger zone

Look at us prop up the pieces, we live together on our own

Maybe it's just over-rated, maybe I'm just isolated

We walk the streets together, we walk the streets together but

You don't like my friends

You don't like my clothes

You think that I'm crazy

Any other girl would just pass over

Any other girl would just pass over

Any other girl would just pass over

Any other girl would just pass over

This is total war, girl

This is total war, girl

This is total war, girl

This is total war, girl

Any other girl would just pass over

Any other girl would just pass over

Any other girl would just pass over

Any other girl would just pass over

This is total war, girl ... Total war ...

Transport of Delight

Sun is gone

Moon is a halo

Candle stars flicker and fade

In the dark we're getting closer

Feel the world falling away  

Transport of delight

Drive me out of my mind

Transport of delight

Don't look back

Leave this world behind  

Branches reach up to the heavens

Shadows dance on your pale curves

I'm going down to the oasis

Start again when I return  

Transport of delight

Drive me out of my mind

Transport of delight

Don't look back

Leave this world behind  

Sun is gone

Moon is a halo

Candle stars flicker and fade

In the dark we're getting closer

Feel the world falling away  

Don't look back

Come on now

Hold on tight

Leave this world behind

Venus Hunter

When the day breaks and falls apart

That's my fanfare my calling card

A run of bad luck, darkness at noon

I don't need the password to get to you

 

I'm a Venus hunter

From another world

10,000 years

Since I've seen a girl  

Burning petrol in my brain

What I call love you call insane

Some try wishing upon a star

Some try running they don't get far  

I'm a Venus hunter

10,000 years

Since I've seen a girl

When the day breaks and falls apart

That's my fanfare my calling card

A run of bad luck, darkness at noon

I don't need the password to get to you  

I'm a Venus hunter

From another world

10,000 years

Since I've seen a girl

Waiting For A Miracle

Another track with a surreal flavour to it, yet it also homes in on the misery of human reality. Andy morbidly sings the kind of thoughts provoked by despair and alienation; Steve takes us into the delayed chorus where hope has died. No-one ever said life was fair. All the lonely people...

Sun sets over domes and spires

Like a magic circle, it's over her head and under her tyres

It's incidental, but she only has time for essential dreams

So she's still waiting 'cause it seems like there's nothing in the heart of the beast

I hear her saying

What kind of life is this?

It's in suspension

What kind of life is this?

Nothing happens

It's party time at the top of the hill

The air is freezing and the grass is like wire inbetween the trees

The room is shaking and I wish that I had more faith than this

I see her dancing, and if I could dance would she dance with me?

But then she might say

What kind of dance is this?

It's in suspension

What kind of dance is this?

Nothing happens

Waiting for a miracle

Oh but nothing ever happens

Waiting for a miracle

Oh but nothing ever happens

Waiting for a miracle

Oh but nothing ever happens

Waiting for a miracle

Oh but nothing ever happens

Nothing ever happens

Nothing ever happens

Nothing ever happens

Nothing ever happens

What Else?!

Here's something peculiar here's something strange...

Here's something which cannot be explained...

She waits around in the could for hours...

Won't let me say why I'm late...

Come inside let's talk it over- she walks away...

I had to laugh - what else can you do...

I had to laugh - wouldn't you...

I know you have some ambitious plans...

The bog bad world did not agree...

You feel caught in your circumstances...

Don't take it out on me...

You ought to laugh - it's not so hard to do...

You ought to laugh - shouldn't you...

It's not so important. it's nothing we can't solve...

They don't we get together, there's always something else

The wind is high the clouds are racing in the sky as we look out tonight

One by one the lights go out all around as we look out tonight

Whirlwind

I live for the stuff that matters

and I build on the things I know  

But she turns my world upside down

Get a paper hat for a crown

I'm a backward nowhere shanty town

In a whirlwind when she's around  

I don't trust any easy answer

And I take every chance I can  

 

But she turns my world upside down

Get a paper hat for a crown

I'm a backward nowhere shanty town

In a whirlwind when she's around

And I'm on the floor

Looking at the ceiling

And it makes me think

But I like the feeling  

I found what you all are after

And I know I'm a wanted man

But she turns

And she turns  

But she turns me world upside down

Get a paper hat for a crown

I'm a backward nowhere shanty town

In a whirlwind when she's around  

O-Oh Whirlwind

O-Oh Whirlwind

Will You Stay Tonight?

"Pure pop thrills"! - TK. An enjoyable commercial track. The vulnerablity in Steve's voice is perfect for the subject matter of the song.

Talking round in circles trying to find the perfect words

But they don't come to mind, they don't want to come to mind

Staying away from the subject hoping you might say it first

There's a chance that you won't that I can't afford to take

Seconds turn to minutes and the minutes turn to hours

How the time slips away

We've covered everything under the sun and now there's nothing else to say

What do you say?

It's time to go but it's to late to leave so will you stay tonight?

Don't keep me in the dark why spend the after hours on your own

You might spend all your life looking for some ideal

Why not change something vague for something you can feel

And if you were to ask me which choice I would make

I would loose myself tonight, find myself some other day

Seconds turn to minutes and the minutes turn to hours

And the time slips away

We've covered everything under the sun and now there's nothing else to say

What do you say?

It's time to go but it's to late to leave so will you stay tonight?

Don't keep me in the dark why spend the after hours on your own

You're The Heroine

A bright, rousing love song with a manically exciting guitar.

But the stars still shine on the darkest night

To me they seem so very bright

You Move Me

A bright, rousing love song with a manically exciting guitar.

Out of the blue like a revelation

Into the light like an inspiration

Zinger

The carpet it bluer then usual and...

The rain hung in sheets from the sky...

She couldn't think where to go ...

So she took a drink from the radio...

O-zone O-zone...

You don't get everything from a 3" speaker...

Only the essentials...

All human life is there in a caricature and cartoon...

O-zone O-zone...

She took a drink from the radio...

A taste of electricity is sometimes a surprise...

A glimpse of the future is always a surprise...

The talking parts gave her a headache they made her frown...

But when the music returned she drank it down...

O-zone O-zone...

She took a drink from the radio.
