why does this feeling of togetherness
always scare me away?
why do the feelings that I have for you
have to become a word ?
don't say you "love" me-oh no
don't ask that from me-oh no no
that alphabet you call love
that alphabet you call love
that alphabet you call love
is just a digital tenderness
tenderness
here is the start for so many broken people
all with a hard luck story
and a sad sad tale
don't say you love me-oh no
don't ask that from me-oh no no
that alphabet you call love
that alphabet you call love
that alphabet you call love
is just a digital tenderness
tenderness
sometimes
I need to be by myself
I need to be by your side
I need
sometimes
I need the company of art
I ned the company of friends
I need you
and my heart is stronger
than a four-letter-long word
searching the eyes of so many broken
people
whose cowardice proved much too strong
for vice
don't say you "love" me ...
oh no
don't ask that from me
no no no
that alphabet you call "love"
that alphabet you call "love"

After nine years in the army
They took away his brain
They tattooed "defect" on his brow
And signed him up again

He killed ten thousand Germans
A hundred Japanese
A family of Hindus
And a lot of Portugese
Nine plan failed

I could never see the point
Of showing them you're boss
When they drag you through the city streets
And naiI you to a cross

They took him to the office
They strapped him to the bed
They fastened lots of pretty wires
Securely to his head
They wheeled him down the corridor
Upon a metal trolley
Now he wears big spectacles
And he sings like Buddy Holly
Nine plan failed

I could never see the point
Of showing them you're boss
When they drag you through the city streets
And nail you to a cross

The world declared its armistice
And took away his guns
And now he satisfies himself
On piss-weak tea and buns
On piss-weak tea and buns
Oh oh at the disco

Rome is very pretty
And Rome is very grand
But the Pope lost his four fingers
When they gave this boy his hand to kiss
When they gave this boy his hand to kiss
It wasn't funny no

He wasn't very good at school
His highest grade was C
But he believed the managers
When they said: "you leave it all to me"
They gave him suits from Saville Row
The quality so fine
So now he sits in the desert wastes
Just waiting for the sign
Nine plan failed

Cle-o-pa-tra!

C-Cleopatra did a ten-thousand
In her lifetime
Now that's a wide mouth
C-Cleopatra gave a service
With a smile-oh
She was a wide mouthed girl
A wide mouthed girl

C-Cleopatra did a hundred (1-0-0)
Roman centurion
For after dinner mints
C-Cleopatra used a suction
Oh so unheard of
She was a wide mouthed girl
A wide mouthed girl (believe it)

Show me a bigger mouth
Show me a bigger mouth
Show me a bigger mouth
Show me a bigger mouth (yeah)

What a weak distorted image
Elizabeth and Richard gave upon the screen
Of that wide mouthed girl
Wide mouthed girl (oh yeah)

A lot of people in this great big world
Say "love everybody"
A lot of people busy busy busy busy busy
Being very modern

The family of noise is here
And it's come to save everybody
The family of noise is here
And it's come to save you and me
It goes:

The family of noise is here
And it's come to save everybody
The family of noise is here
And it's come to save you and me

A lot of people in the ancient world
They loved only quiet
And then along came the machine
And a new direction

The family of noise is here
And it's come to save everybody
The family of noise is here
And it's come to save you and me
It goes:

Family of noise
Family of noise
The family of noise

She loves you yeah yeah yeah
She loves you and the family of noise
She loves you yeah yeah yeah
She loves you and the family of noise
She loves you yeah yeah yeah
She loves you and the family of noise
She loves you yeah yeah yeah
She loves you and the family of noise
And the family of noise

In the morning
Last thing at night
In the darkness
Standing in the light

A lot of people in this great big world
Just searching for the pure sound
They're just looking to the machine
They don't listen to the noise

The family of noise is here
And it's come to save everybody
The family of noise is here
And it's come to save you and me
It goes:
In Croydon

I went to the zoo
To look at the animals
The first thing I saw
Was a wall full of handicapped

Some wearing green hats
And all sucking chocky bars
So I went and looked at
The three horned chameleon

The idea

He walked up and down
Just trying to get close to me
A split little hand
Scratching at the glass

I looked at the snakes
And I looked at the crocodiles
You'd better show me the man
Who made all of this

The idea

The idea

I could be religious if ...
You didn't have to kneel down
I could be religious if ...
A god would say "hello"

I could be religious if ...
An angel touched my shoulder
I could be religious if ...
They set the hymns to disco
(Like this)

Holy holy holy
Lord god almighty
God in three persons
Beloved trinity

Holy holy holy
All the saints adore thee
Christ in three persons
Beloved trinity

The idea
