The Party's Over
Album - 1982 - Debaser id 12009

Well did I tell you before
When I was up
Anxiety was bringing me down
I'm tired of listening to you
Talking in rhymes
Twisting round to think
You're straight down the line

All you do to me is talk talk
Talk Talk
Talk Talk
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk Talk
Talk Talk
All you do to me is talk talk

If every sign that I see is to complete
Then I'm a fool in your game
And all you want to do
Is tell me your lies
Won't you show the other side
You're just wasting my time

All you do to me is talk talk
Talk Talk
Talk Talk
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk Talk
Talk Talk
All you do to me is talk talk

When every choice that I make is yours
Keep telling me what's right and what's wrong
Don't you ever stop to think about me
I'm not that blind to see
That you've been cheating on me

You're laughing at me when I'm up
I see you when you're crying for me
When I'm down
I see you when you're laughing for me
When I'm up
I see you when you're crying for me

All you do to me is talk talk
Talk Talk
Talk Talk
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk Talk
Talk Talk

I've given everything
With nothing in return
I'm filled with images
That play on every word
No-one to tell me
There's a cloud before my eyes
Not only broken,
I don't know the reason why

It's so serious

This endless sea of tears
The feeling that I'll drown
I'd try to catch them
But they're sure to touch the ground
My world of emptiness
A child without a toy
Forgiving anything
Restore me to my joy

It's so serious

Cover me with shades of disbelief
Can happiness be someone else's dream
Numbers call to spell my name
Move about as values change
Catch me if you can
But don't delay

Today, today
It's a dream away

Governed by the title on the wall
Commit me to a life within a fool
Happiness can often bleed
Beggars lay among the sheep
Let me take the choice
The sermon pleads

Today, today
It's a dream away

Visions in my cell begin to bread
Was everything a fact of what I read
Excuse my while l spell my name
Boat and ship could sound the same
Catch me if you can
But don't delay

Today, today
It's a dream away

Belle Malissima

Today, today
It's a dream away

The party's over
I never thought you'd stay
The love of laughter
My truth's no longer sane
The party's over
Much older than you'd say
THIS FRIEND OF NO-ONE
TIME, CREASES ON YOUR FACE

Take a look at the kids
I've been losing track
This crime of being uncertain
Of your love
Is all I'm guilty of

The party's over
I never thought you'd stay
A style of reason
This life of masquerade

Take a look at the kids
I've been losing track
This crime of being uncertain
Of your love
Is all I'm guilty of

Take this punishment away Lord
Name the crime I'm guilty of
Too much hope I've seen as virtue
Name the crime I'm guilty of

RELAX YOUR STARE
It's laughing in my face
My foes beware
I'm tired of losing grace
The child's not there
The priest is losing faith
Defile my care
And stumble to the flames

People crying, People crying
My confusion
Are there illusions?
.... Hate

THE DICE WON'T LOSE
They've everything to gain
Devout prepare
The stones along my grave

People crying, People crying
My confusion
Are there illusions?
.... Hate

Don't say a word
If I've been away too long
I found out it's wrong
I found out ...
I DON'T NEED HATE

I'm picking up again
Waint it got too much
After the accident
It could feel no worse
I turned around and saw him hit the ground
Alittle earlier, it was a game
I guess the barrier
Must have dropped away

I don't like to read the news
D'you know anything I'm going through

Did you see my photograph
It was on page ten
I swore to everyone
I'm not to blame
I turned around and saw him hit the ground
A little earlier it was a game
i'm so disposable
you can throw me away

I don't like to read the news
D'you know anything I'm going through

Wat a fool I've been
Didn't get to him in time
"What's been happening?"
Its so hard to sleep at night
Its so hard to sleep at night
To sleep at night

I don't like to read the news
D'you know anything I'm going through

This sure is some kind of party
It's so useful
Surrounds my life with excuses
For what I choose to lose
And my name
Doesn't look the same to me
And inside
Don't you know I feel so bad

Candy,
When I tried to turn away
To feel new again
My emotion cost me pain
Did I look the same
When I think about the times
That I laughed away the idea you'd cheat me
But look again
What do you say 'That's my name'

AND I HOPE THAT I'VE KEPT YOU AMUSED
TO WIPE THAT SPIT RIGHT OFF MY BOOTS
And when I'm home and thinking in the dark
I hope that none of this has had to go too far

When it gets too late
To see me any other way
And it gets so hard to hold on
To everything that I want so bad
