1. LITTLE WONDER
Stinky weather, Fat shaky hands
Dopey morning Doc, Grumpy gnomes
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you
Big screen dolls, tits and explosions
Sleepytime, Bashful but nude
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you
I'm getting it
Intergalactic, see me to be you
It's all in the tablets, Sneezy Bhutan
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you
Mars Happy nation, sit on my karma
Dame meditation, take me away
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you
CHORUS
Sending me so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away (x4)
So far away, so so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so so far away
Little wonder
You little wonder, you
Little wonder
You little wonder you
[If it's good to ya, it's gotta be good for ya]
CHORUS
You little wonder, little wonder you
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you
2. LOOKING FOR SATELLITES
REFRAIN (twice, sung as backing vocals)
Nowhere
Shampoo
TV
Come back
Boy's own
Slim tie
Showdown
Can't stop
Where do we go from here?
There's something in the sky
Shining in the light
Spinning and far away
REFRAIN (backing vocals, x4)
CHORUS
Satellite
Satellite
Satellite
Satellite
Looking for satellites
Looking for satellites
Where do we go to now?
There's nothing in our eyes
As lonely as a moon
Misty and far away
REFRAIN (backing vocals, x4)
CHORUS
Satellite
Satellite
Satellite
Satellite
Looking satellites
Looking satellites
Where do we go from here?
3. BATTLE FOR BRITAIN
My, my, the time do fly
When it's in another pair of pants
And a loser I will be
For I've never been a winner in my life
I got used to stressing pain
I used the sucker pills to pity for the self
Oh, it's the animal in me
But I'd rather be a beggarman on the shelf
Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm
On a better day, I'll take you by the hand
And I'll walk you through the doors
Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm
Don't you let my letter get you down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you
My, my, but time do fly
When it's in another pair of pants
And illusion I will be
For I've never been a sinner, la di da
Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm
Don't you let my letter get you down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you
Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you
Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
4. SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET
"Are you OK?
You've been shot in the head
And I'm holding your brains"
The old woman said
So I drink in the shadows
Of an evening sky
See nothing at all
The stars look so special
And the snow looks so old
The frail form is drifting
Beyond the yoga zone
Turn to question the mountain
Why pigs can fly
It's nothing at all
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes away
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes
I praise to you
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes away
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes away
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes, nothing ever goes
Nothing
5. DEAD MAN WALKING
He swivels his head
Tears his eyes from the screen
As his past puts him back in Atlantic City
There's not even a demon in Heaven or Hell
Is it all just human disguise?
As I walk down the aisle
CHORUS
Background vocals
[Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality]
[Dance my way falling up through the years]
[Till I swivel back round when I fly fly fly]
[Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone]
And I'm gone gone gone
Now I'm older than movies
Let me dance away
Now I'm wiser than dreams
Let me fly fly fly
While I'm touching tomorrow
And I know who's there
When silhouettes fall
And I'm gone
Like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone through a crack in the past
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking
Three old men dancing under the lamplight
Shaking their sex and their bones
And the boys that we were
An alien nation in therapy
Sliding naked and new
Like a bad tempered child
On a rain slicked street
CHORUS
And I'm gone
And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone, through the crack in the past
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man
Like a dead man walking
And I'm gone gone gone
Let me dance dance dance
And I'm gone gone gone
Let me dance dance dance
And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone, through a crack in the past
And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone, through a crack in the past
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man
Like a dead man walking
ad lib...
6. TELLING LIES
Gorgeous girls are bound to meet
To talk of stars and kings and feet
Through the chromosomes of space and time
Me I'm fast like bad infection
Gasping for my resurrection
Swear to me in times of war and stress
CHORUS
Telling lies, telling lies
Telling lies, telling lies
Telling lies
[Ooh, ah, visionary]
[Ooh, ah, missionary]
Telling lies
[Feels like something's gonna happen this year]
Telling lies
[Ooh, ah, visionary]
[Ooh, ah, missionary]
Telling lies
[Feels like something's gonna happen this year]
Telling lies
Shadow falls in shrinking smiles
See me poised at the happy games
Standing in the mouth of all that's pure
Come straggling in your tattered remnants
You'll come to me in tears and blame
I'm your future, I'm tomorrow, I'm the end
CHORUS
Telling lies
[Ooh, ah, ooh]
[Ooh, ah, ooh]
[Ooh, ah, ooh]
Feels like something's going to happen this year
Telling lies [ooh, ah, ooh]
Feels like something's going to happen this year
Telling lies [ooh, ah, ooh]
Feels like something's going to happen this year
Telling lies [ooh, ah, ooh]
Telling lies [ooh, ah, ooh]
Feels like something's going to happen this year

9. LAW (EARTHLING ON FIRE)
I don't want knowledge, I want certainty (x3)
In the street a man shouts out loud
A wallet drops and money flies into the midday sun
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground (x3)
Oh I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes
Earthlings on fire (x2)
CHORUS
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground (x3)
Sure I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes
Earthlings on fire (x4)
I don't want knowledge, I want certainty (x2)
In a house a man drops dead
As he hits the floor he sighs
"What a morning"
CHORUS (x2)
Sometimes
Earthlings on fire (repeat to last verse as backing vocals)
Oh I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes
I don't want knowledge, I want certainty (x2)
Oh I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes
I don't want knowledge, I want certainty (x2)
I don't want knowledge
