In the mood
The trampled moved
The Suzies grooved
No holds barred
Running through the alleys
Meet at Hammersmith Palais
It’s poison the rat carries
No holds barred
No life saved
All too brave
We danced on your grave
No holds barred

Television – 19th March 1985
I’ve heard it all before
I’ve heard it all before
It’s all such a bore
Repeats, repeats
Better than baked beans
Take your seats
In front of the screens
Television has no vision
Cuts into you, delicate incision
Active in your mind and speech
It’s wonderful how television can teach
*Tube Train – 18th March 1985
Travelling on the tube train
Noise rattles your brain
Sitting on the dirty seats
Escalator takes your feet
Away
Riding on the tube train
Ride, ride, ride, ride
You’re deep inside
The underground
Taking you around
On tube trains

The Minster Green – 17th March 1985
The minster green
Has seen many a thing
It has seen violence
And the love we can bring
The minster green
Has seen many a thing
It has heard the silence
It has heard us sing
The minster green
The minster green
I think of all the secrets you’ve seen
In Tune Out Of Time – 16th March 1985
Took us half an hour
To tune the guitars
We started to play
A few simple bars
But it was in tune, out of time
And the words didn’t rhyme
Finally, we got the rhythm
We all started to swing
Everything was ok
Except for one tiny thing
We were in time, out of tune
I think we should finish soon
Chasm – 14th March 1985
Chase me
Erase me
Dictate me
Love me – hate me
Join me
Orgasm
Deep
In the chasm
Feed me
Defeat me
Bleed me
Complete me
Deep
In the orgasm
Join me
In the chasm
Journey To Beyond – 13th March 1985
It was a journey to nowhere
We never expected to end up here
But what can we do now?
Our future is not clear
We have to stop and rest
Our ship was put to the test
The memory banks have gone
On the journey to beyond
Fag – 12th March 1985
Cigarette, cigarette
Just can’t get enough
I take big puffs
Of my cigarette
I can’t forget
Your lovely taste
On my lips
I hold you in my fingertips
I stub you out
Your work is done
Now it’s time
To have another one
*New Skin – 11th March 1985
Blotched and ragged
Rough and jagged
You want to trade this one in
For a new skin
Plastic and tough
And it’s flexible enough
To take everything
Your new skin

The Last Baked Bean – 10th March 1985
Went to the cupboard
Found a baked bean tin
I had a look inside
To see what was in
It was the last baked bean
Too horrible to be seen
Not enough to go around
Not another to be found
The last baked bean
Filled my tum
But I was still looking
For another one
