Excellent first track on the album; it has an explosive, exciting beginning. Brash rhythms and the hard edge of Steve's voice makes this rock track a very unconvential serenade!

Was it my imagination, working over time again

Or did we make a strange connection

Just then

Some things are never spoken

Some things are never done

But if we could forget our manners

Just once

If I asked you what would you do

Would you think it over

We see strange things every day

Would you think it over

Some things changed in your expression

Maybe I should explain

‘Cos it could be my imagination

Again

Eye Of The Lens

Harsh, chilling sound and story. The lyrics are delivered in an unnervingly flat, fatalistic tone. Possibly their darkest track, certainly their most unsettling. "Can the camera steal your soul? In certain ways, I think so. A horror story of the most basic kind, but not without a little irony. I hope."

I'm walking down a street where children play

When they see me they run away

She will not look at me, she won't say why

And when I ask her she just cries

No-one will talk to me, they turn to go

Their faces say there's something I should know

Could I be a victim of the games of all my friends

Or am I really being watched by the eye of the lens

My world is empty now, no-one comes near

No-one can stand the smell of fear

Hours pass so slowly, time beats a drum

As I wait for what I hope won't come

No-one will talk to me, they turn to go

Their faces say there's something I should know

Could I be a victim of the games of all my friends

Or am I really being watched by the eye of the lens

Something's coming closer, I can only stare

The scream of silence fills the air

I was not a victim of the games of all my friends

Now I find myself behind the eye of the lens...

Field Of Tall Flowers

Steve and a piano. Gentle, melodic and bitter-sweet. Dare I call it "nice"? It is! Sad too, though, of course!

Falling through the summer haze / All my thoughts have blown away

Goat Of The West

One of the dark, brooding ones, for sure; Andy sings plaintively somewhere between Steve's chilling lines. Someone has been removed...What is his name? It evokes George Orwell's nightmare vision Nineteen Eighty-Four; when they come for you in the night you don't just disappear physically, you cease to exist...

He has played his biggest part

His country took him to his heart

The latest episode on the world wide screen

And it’s the worst one I’ve ever seen

It’s so funny

Did you see what happened

It’s so funny

But I’m not laughing

He has lost his winning smile

He has to show he’s human too

I think we’ll have to wait for a long time

‘Cos I just don’t believe that it’s true

And I don’t believe it

Gone

One of the dark, brooding ones, for sure; Andy sings plaintively somewhere between Steve's chilling lines. Someone has been removed...What is his name? It evokes George Orwell's nightmare vision Nineteen Eighty-Four; when they come for you in the night you don't just disappear physically, you cease to exist...

So tired, so soon

What happened to you

What happened to you

You got lost

somewhere between

Away round here

somewhere between

So far so near

You got lost

Somewhere between

What happened to you

Someone has been removed

What happened to her

What happened to her

She got lost

somewhere between

Away round here

somewhere between

So far so near

She got lost

Somewhere between

What happened to her

You used to be so young

You used to be so young

It was going to take so long

The beat has almost gone...

What is his name...................?
