Celebrate The Bullet (album)
Don't just sit there I'm bored and so are you
All you do is go on and on
Why worry if things are okay
It's a funny situation
Who's innocence is all of this guilt
Why think there's always someone else to blame
But you still don't care if it doesn't reach you
If it doesn't reach you
Can't you see what it means to be me
I can't seem to get through to you and me
We are in constant incommunicado, incommunicado, incommunicado
Just when I thought I must be numb to the pain
They're still tampering inside
But you still don't care
If it doesn't reach you
If it doesn't reach you
Boy me neck hot and sweaty- in the heat-in the city
People let me down and piss around
Never meaning what they say
Each and every day
Just when I thought it-it-it
Here you take it
Deepwater, deepwater
I'm in trouble and I'm up to my neck again
Deepwater, deepwater
I'm out of money and it's banked by the fat fish
Opening and closing their mouths
But there's no sound in my ears
I never wanted to be in deepwater again
Deepwater, deepwater
Too hard to sleep with my eyes open
Deepwater, deepwater
Crying ice cold tears, a drop in the ocean
Killer sharks watching my every move
Echoes of someone laughing at me
I never wanted to be in deepwater again
Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away
Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away
Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away
Away.................................................. Away
Deepwater, deepwater
Drown my sorrows with too many blues
Deepwater, deepwater
Sometimes I've had to cast away my pride
Like a prisoner on an island wachin the tide
Cut-off, shut-off, no-one holds the key
I never wanted to be in deepwater again.
Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away
Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away
Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away
Away.................................................. Away
Deepwater, drifting downstream
Won't you throw me a rope
Deepwater, fighting the current
Staring at your boat
Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away
Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away
Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away
Away.................................................. Away
Stretched out on the sofa
Making witty conversation
Instant coffee in the cups
Then the milk went sour
Now honesty was all I wanted
Enough warmth to mix it right
Didn't want my loving on the rocks
But couldn't melt the ice
Then the door shut
And the mirror falls
My jagged image
Rests against the wall
And I see
Red reflections in the mirror of the night
The mirror shows all your secrets
Puts all your fears on view
It always plays its jokes
Only when you're looking at you
And if loneliness was a colour
It would be white
But all I see is red reflections
In the mirror of the night
The mirror shows all your secrets
Puts all your fears on view
The darkness lights your eyes
In the quiet I hear a thousand sighs
Then the door slams shut
And the mirror falls
My jagged image
Rests against the wall
And I see
Red reflections in the mirror of the night
We were friends do you remember
Not so long ago
Each and every time we meet
You seem to be avoiding me
I've been hearing things all around
You've been saying that I'm a clown
I guess the truth is plain to see
Man to man is your worst enemy
Won't you tell me
What have I done
For you to try and bring me down
I felt the change change towards me
Tell me tell me what's wrong
Oh won't you tell me
Oh won't you tell me
Won't you tell me
Tell me tell me what's wrong
After all's been said and done
I guess that's how it ought to be
Just you remember this
The bad you do will follow you
I can see things more clearly now
To me it just don't make no sense
I guess the truth is plain to see
You're now my enemy
Won't you tell me
What have I done
For you to try and bring me down
I felt the change change towards me
Tell me tell me what's wrong
Oh won't you tell me
Oh won't you tell me
Won't you tell me
Tell me tell me what's wrong
I can see things more clearly now
To me it just don't make no sense
I guess the truth is plain to see
You're now my enemy
Oh won't you tell me
Oh won't you tell me
Won't you tell me
Tell me tell me what's wrong
After all's been said and done
I guess that's how it ought to be
I hear an urgent message
From a panicking voice
Start moving your feet
Get out into the street
There's been a bombscare
An unattended bag in the corridor
Looking innocent
But we're all unsure
There's been a bombscare
If this is a joke it's not funny to me
My heart clocks the seconds and my shoes are loose
Is someone out to get me
Or is someone making headlines for the 9 o'clock news
Bombscare
Girl in the office
Shoppers down in the street
Do you care, do I care
Now we're living in fear
There's been a bombscare
The unattending hand
Plays a bitter game
A faceless choice
Kill or maim
This is a bombscare
Whoever you are now you've gone too far
You're not fighting for them, you're not fighting for me
Shatter glass, shut us up, cut us up brick it up, break it down
Your good reasons mean nothing to me
Now you're scared
Automatic printout brings the numbers and news
Telephones are calling, but the lines are dead
Is it the IRA or the SAS
All you can do is stand and guess
Right in the east
And down in the west
People them a wonder
A who a the best
Lord, cho, let me tell you is a
Bombscare
For dis ya world is a bombscare
It's common knowledge there's always one exception
Not quite a part of the crowd
He tries so hard, just to laugh in the right places
But he knows it's just not funny
He has this feeling, he just knows it
They don't like him 'cos he's different
He knew all about the no-go areas
But he went there just the same
He was washed up and left for dead
Nobody told him he was just not wanted
It got so cold after midnight
Oh yeah
Don't want the money
He just wants the fame
There's something driving him inside
His friends don't like him
'cos they think that he's so stupid
So he just goes out on his own
He saw a movie that night and it moved him
It was just like his life story
But he got jumped by some thugs
On the way home
No-one came to his rescue
He was washed up and left for dead
Nobody told him he was just not wanted
It gets so cold after midnight
Oh yeah
Night after night he's out biting the pavement
Hurt his hands clapping for the group
He can't dance, but he can certainly cause trouble
Yeah, ah -ooh
He was washed up and left for dead
Nobody told him he was just not wanted
It gets so cold after midnight
Oh yeah
Celebrate the bullet
Put your finger on the trigger
But you don't have to pull it
'cos you know it won't bring them
Back to you, back to you
Celebrate the bullet
But you have to snigger
You told 'em all to shove it
'cos you know it won't bring them
Back to you, back to you
Celebrate the bullet
Celebrate the bullet
Celebrate the bullet
Celebrate the bullet
Celebrate the bullet
Put your finger on the trigger
But you don't have to pull it
'cos you know it won't bring them
Back to you, back to you
Celebrate the bullet
It all seems to get much bigger
Do you really have to prove it
'cos you know it won't bring them
Back to you, back to you
Celebrate the bullet
Celebrate the bullet
Celebrate the bullet
Celebrate the bullet
Switching on the city lighting
All the homes feel so secure
'cos the west is ever caring
She can keep your home fires burning
Switching to a bedroom lighting
Hiding low you're insecure
Hand around the candle you say
There's no more joy to come tomorrow
Caught in the act
You were taking your time
You said nothing would change
Nothing would change so
Nothing would
Selling out your future
Selling out your future
Drew the curtains shut the lights out
Slept alone upon the floor
But you couldn't stop the draught creeping
Underneath the front door
You ignored the press gang selling
Lottery tickets at the stairs
But you already sold your hat for
A dark green helmet yesterday
Caught in the trap
You had nothing to choose
You saw everything lost
You had nothing to say
Nothing to say, so nothings said
Selling out your future
Selling out your future
Switching on the city lighting
All the homes feel so secure
'cos the west is ever caring
She can keep the camera staring
Switching on your colour vision
Smiling faces lie to you
Faded voices crying 'Fall into line
The 'Fall out', comes tomorrow
Caught in the trap
You were taking your time
They were buying your mind
You had nothing to say
Nothing to say, so nothings said
Selling out your future
Selling out your future
Cool blue lady sing your song
Twist your heart out it won't take long
Yeah you wonder just what it's all for
No one would tell you they watch to see you fall
Cool blue lady cool blue lady
Cool blue lady, cool blue lady
Cool blue lady you tried so hard
How could those people play you like a card
There's so much pain from what you got inside
Makes you want to want to run and hide
Cool blue lady, cool blue lady
Cool blue lady, cool blue lady
Cool blue lady how you sang the blues
When you loved how come no-one loved you
You told your secrets and gave a lot of soul
Seems like you had an impossible goal
Cool blue lady, cool blue lady
Cool blue lady, cool blue lady
Just a shape
Just a quick glimpse
Loud immediately
Just a quick glimpse
Faces light up
Glow in the daytime
They're all gone
Find no sense-keep moving on
I looked at you
Turn electric blue
It doesn't matter
At all to them
That faces light up
Glow in the daytime
Dream goes on
While their dream goes on
Cafe on the corner peeling painted sign
Water in he vinegar and it never changes to wine
Causing no fuss just smoking inside
Heavy light bursts in and the shadows rush to hide
Then Bristol caught fire
Smell of burning in the air
Everybody listening to the reggae jukebox singer singing
Sing on, sing on
Listen to the echo of the street
Sing on, sing on
Listen to the echo of the street
Four thousand miles to the west
People only take so much
When surrounded by the best they want to reach out and touch
Miami beach hot and lazy
Sun a yellow ball of light
Hiding invisible men living in a world of white
Bristol and Miami
Where's it gonna be tomorrow
Anytime, anywhere
It's only time we borrow
Sun beat down, hot heavy afternoon
Hurricane swept the town, and didn't finish so soon
Black smiles thrown in the dust
Replaced by anger
White grins begin to rust when
They're looking in the face of danger
Then Miami caught fire
Smell of burning in the air
Everybody listening to the reggae jukebox singer singing
Sing on, sing on
Listen to the echo of the street
Sing on, sing on
Listen to the echo of the street
Black man singing in the heat of the night
Broken dreams just fly away
dy listening to the reggae jukebox singer singing
Sing on, sing on
Listen to the echo of the street
Sing on, sing on
Listen to the echo of the street
Black man singing in the heat of the night
Broken dreams just fly away
