Being Boiled

Listen to the voice of Buddha saying stop your sericulture
Little people like your offspring boiled alive for some Gods stocking
Buddha's watching, Buddha's waiting

Just because the kid's an orphan is no excuse for thoughtless slaying
People don't forget this torture just because you call her mother
Doesn't mean that she's your better
Once more with the voice of Buddha He'll say carry on your slaughter
Who cares for the little children you may slice with no conviction
Blind revenge on a blameless victim

Listen to the voice of Buddha saying stop your sericulture
He'll say carry on your slaughter who cares for the little children
You may slice with no conviction
Blind revenge on a blameless victim listen to the voice of Buddha

Blind Youth

No future they say but must it be that way?
Now is calling the city is human
Blind youth take hope, you're no Joe Soap
Your time is due, big fun come soon

We've had it easy, we should be glad
High-rise living's not so bad
Blind youth take hope, you're no Joe Soap
Your time is due, big fun come soon

Dehumanisation is such a big word
It's been around since Richard The Third
Dehumanisation it's easy to say
But if you're not a hermit you'll know the city's okay
No future they say but must it be that way
Now is calling the city is human
Blind youth take hope, you're no Joe Soap
Your time is due, big fun come soon

We've had it easy, we should be glad
High-rise living's not so bad
Blind youth take hope, you're no Joe Soap
Your time is due, big fun come soon

Open Your Heart

And when it hurts you know they love to tell you how they warned you
They say don't be surprised at someone's lies they think they taunt you
But if you can stand the test you know your worst is better than their best
And so you stand here with the years ahead potentially calling
With open heart or with a spirit dead you walk on
Love is the reason faith or treason playing a part
End concealing try revealing open your heart

Dare to feel take the chance make the deal
Being an island shying from trying seems the easy way
Such an easy way but there's no future without tears
Love is the reason faith or treason playing a part
End concealing try revealing open your heart
But if you can stand the test you know your worst is better than their best
Love is the reason faith or treason playing a part
End concealing try revealing open your heart

Love Action (I Believe In Love)

When you're in love you know you're in love no matter what you try to do
You might as well resign yourself to what you're going through
If you're a hard man or if you're a child it still might get to you
Don't kid yourself you've seen it all before a million mouths have said that too

I've had my hard times in the past I've been a husband and a lover too
I've laid alone and cried at night over what love made me do
And the loved ones who let me down and couldn't share my point of view
But this is Phil talking I want to tell you what I found to be true
I love your love action lust's just a distraction
No talking just looking watching your love action

I believe I believe what the old man says though I know that there's no Lord above
I believe in me I believe in you and you know I believe in love
I believe in truth though I lie a lot I feel the pain from the push and shove
No matter what you put me through I'll still believe in love, and I say
I love your love action lust's just a distraction
No talking just looking watching your love action

The Lebanon

She dreams of 1969 before the soldiers came
The life was cheap on bread and wine and sharing meant no shame
She is awakened by the screams of rockets flying from nearby
And scared she clings onto her dreams to beat the fear that she might die
And who will have won when the soldiers have gone from the Lebanon
The Lebanon

Before he leaves the camp he stops he scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops is where the snipers sometimes hide
He left his home the week before he thought he'd be like the police
But now he finds he is at war weren't we supposed to keep the peace
And who will have won when the soldiers have gone from the Lebanon
The Lebanon

I must be dreaming it can't be true
I must be dreaming it can't be true
And who will have won when the soldiers have gone from the Lebanon
The Lebanon
