Plaza (03:55)
John Foxx • Metamatic
On the Plaza
We're dancing slowly, lit like photographs
Across the Plaza
Toward the shadow of the cenotaph

Down escalators, come to the sea view
Behind all the smoked glass no-one sees you
A familiar figure comes to meet you
I remember your face
From some shattered windscreen...

Across the Plaza
A giant hoarding of Italian cars
Across the Plaza
The lounge is occupied by seminars

Down escalators, come to the sea view
Behind all the smoked glass no-one sees you
A familiar figure comes to meet you
I remember your face
From some shattered windscreen...

From the Plaza
The highways curve in over reservoirs
On the Plaza
A queue is forming for the cinema...

Down escalators, come to the sea view
Behind all the smoked glass no-one sees you
A familiar figure comes to meet you
I remember your face
From some shattered windscreen...

On the Plaza
On the Plaza
On the Plaza
On the Plaza

On the Plaza
On the Plaza
On the Plaza
On the Plaza

He's a Liquid (03:03)
John Foxx • Metamatic
He's an angle
She's a tangent
There's some flowers on the bathroom floor
He's a clicktrack
Now she makes a flashback

He's a liquid
He's a laugh
She's a graph
He wears a sticky white shirt and tie
In those viscous clothes
His watch hand glows

He's a liquid
She's elusive
He's adhesive
He's a trickle down a falling wall
They get married too much
She's a soft touch

He's a liquid
He pulls
She pushed
They read The Bible about the flood
She draws the curtains
'Cos now she's certain

He's a liquid

Underpass (03:57)
John Foxx • Metamatic
Standing in the dark
Watching you glow
Lifting a receiver
Nobody I know
Chorus:
Underpass
Underpass
Well I used to remember
Now it's all gone
World War something
We were somebody's sons
(Chorus)
Over all the bridges
Echoes in rows
Talking at the same time
Click click drone
(Chorus)
Misty on the glass now
Rusty on the door
Here for years now
Click click drone
Click click drone
Click click drone
Click click drone
Click click
(Repeat chorus and fade)

Metal Beat (03:02)
John Foxx • Metamatic
Chorus:
Metal beat
Metal beat
Metal beat
Metal beat
Jim Suit
Black hair
Dim skin
Gold teeth
A trickle voice like a silver sheet
The pulling of the light
Reflecting in my eyes
Pick up a flip-top box from a vinyl seat
(Chorus)
Drift in
Drift out
We're gone
I'm here
Click on
Click off
No, no
Don't get too near
Name on the shatterproof glass
Melt into a mass
Let's slide across me in this heat
(Chorus)

030 (03:18)
John Foxx • Metamatic
Male caucasian
Pattern scarring
Domestic gestures just like mine
Kennedy hairline
Remix features
Someone pushing through my outline

Chorus:
Voices merging
Faces blurring
Voices blurring
Faces merging
Lieutenant 030
Lieutenant 030
X-rays match up
Sunlit concrete
Missing since 1963
File a decaying car
Buried in the sand
Empty clothing blows across a beach

(Chorus)

Tidal Wave (04:17)
John Foxx • Metamatic
Tidal Wave
Tidal Wave
Tidal Wave
Goes by my window

We're swimming
It's morning
No sound at all
Through floors of apartments
Background dissolves

Tidal Wave
Tidal Wave
Tidal Wave
Goes by my window

You're balancing bravely
It's been so long
You're speaking
Can't hear you
No sound at all
Tidal Wave
Tidal Wave
Tidal Wave
Goes by my window

A glimpse of old sunlight
No sound at all
A flicker
Of flashback
Background dissolves

Tidal Wave
Tidal Wave
Tidal Wave
Goes by my window
