1
1) Vocal Under A Bloodlight
2
Last night you said I was cold, untouchable
3
A lonely piece of action from another town
4
I just want to be free, I'm happy to be lonely
5
Can't you stay away?
6
Just leave me alone with my thoughts.
7
Just a runaway, just a runaway,
8
I'm saving myself.

2) Passing Strangers
10
Strung out below a necklace of carnival lights
11
Cold moan, held on the crest of the night
12
I'm too tired to fight
13
So now we're passing strangers, at single tables
14
Still trying to get over,
15
Still trying to write love songs for passing strangers
16
All those passing strangers.
17
And the twinkling lies, all those twinkling lies,
18
Sparkle with the wet ink on the paper.

3) Mylo
20
Oh I remember Toronto when Mylo went down,
21
And we sat and cried on the phone
22
I never felt so alone,
23
He was the first of our own
24
Some of us go down in a blaze of obscurity
25
Some of us go down in a haze of publicity
26
The price of infamy, the edge of insanity
27
Another Holiday Inn, another temporary home,
28
And an interviewer threatened me with a microphone,
29
'Talk to me, won't you tell me your stories.'
30
So I talked about conscience and I talked about pain
31
and he looked out the window and it started to rain
32
I thought maybe I've already gone crazy.
33
So I reached for a bottle and he reached for the door,
34
And I picked up the sleeping pills crushed on the floor
35
Inviting me to a casual obscenity.
36
4) Perimeter Walk
37
It would be incredible if we could
38
Retrace all the times that we lived here
39
All the collisions
40
Wasted, I've never been so wasted
41
I've never been this far out before
42
Perimeter walk.
43
There's a presence here.
44
I feel could have been ancient,
45
I could have been mystical
46
There's a presence,
47
A childhood, my childhood,
48
My childhood, childhood, a misplaced childhood,
49
My childhood, a misplaced childhood,
50
Give it back to me, give it back to me.
51
A childhood, that childhood, that childhood,
52
that childhood, that childhood
53
Oh please give it back to me.
54
5) Threshold
55
I saw a war widow in a launderette,
56
Washing the memories from her husband's clothes
57
She had medals pinned to a threadbare greatcoat
58
A lump in her throat with cemetery eyes
59
I see convoys curbcrawling West German Autobahns
60
Trying to pick up a war
61
They're going to even the score
62
Oh... I can't take any more
63
I see black flags on factories,
64
Soup ladles poised on the lips of the poor
65
I see children with vacant stares,
66
Destined for rape in the alleyways
67
Does anybody care, I can't take any more
68
Should we say goodbye? Hey
69
I see priests, politicians
70
The heroes in black plastic body-bags under nations' flags
71
I see children pleading with outstretched hands,
72
Drenched in napalm, this is no Vietnam
73
I can't take any more, should we say goodbye,
74
How can we justify?
75
They call us civilised...
