- Alone
Please take me far away
Our tomorrows we’ll live today
So sad when fear takes hold
All the secrets never told
Forever changing the people I know
Behind my back they talk of me
But I, I don’t need to know
- Baby Turns Blue
Mary be so proud, things that aren't allowed,
To take your own life, stab it with a knife.
They put you in a box, send you up to heaven, heaven.
Oh what to do, not to feel and who are you?
Oh what to do, not to feel and who are you?
Give me money, give me sex,
Give me food and cigarettes.
- Bau-Dachong
Of this men shall never know
Of this men shall never understand
I close my eyes so I cannot, cannot see
So afraid of the dark, there's nothing there
There's nothing there
You're mad, you're mad, you're a weirdo
You've gone too far, to far, too soon
Breaking out from the inside
- Dave-Id is dead
Day by day, Oh leave me in my world.
The glory, the glory.
Oh, oh dear - Oh heart.
I look through the window
I can see clearly now.
Walking in the rain
I don't care anymore.
- Decline And Fall
See the children play by
Running try to touch the sky
When one falls you hear a cry
“You’re dead, you’re dead, you must die”
“Take a dream and fly away” she will call
They will wait for you not I, see me crawl
And sometimes I feel so old
- I am God
“…is feeling nobody understands me, nobody feels me, I am nothing and building yourself up to… I am myself… I am God.”
Gavin, in “The New Virgins”, an interview with Audrey Gaughran in the Hot Press, 11 September 1986

Waiting for midnight
Waiting for bad dreams (no silver, no gold)
How can I talk with you
I have no words.
Stranger… I have been here before.
- Love Is Danger
It whispers in your ear, the things you want to hear
No need for names, there's no voices here!
Only the truest confessions, the clinging arms,
The secret charms, the forbidden fruits
The apple of your eye becomes the hidden lie
Oh, Love can kill!
- Love Lasts Forever
I know all your secrets
Please little girl
I like the way you frightened,
It makes me feel secure
Your eyes say something special
“We can run away”
Pushed against the wall
Never are we wrong
- Pagan Lovesong
Heathen a pagan
No sun shines for me
Savage but gentle
The animal within
And I see it now
I had a weird dream
Watch but don’t touch
- Sleep
Go to sleep and say good night,
Go to sleep and say good night,
Go to sleep and say your prayers
And I will hear a lullaby
Sleep tight, sleep tight tonight
Your dreams are all in your head
You wake up like you never woke up before
- Sons Find Devils
Drink! Drink!Drink to our fathers
For they are real men and we are just boys
Boys! Boys! In games playing dangerous
And blood of baby must be spilt
To make up for our daddy’s guilt
It’s all I ever wished for
And all I ever wanted
All I ever wished for
- Sweethome Under White Clouds
....Sweet home....
....Under white....
...Under white clouds....
A picture on the wall,
It says it all.
It says it all....
I-I had a dream,
- The Blues Song
Show me the way to go home
I’m tired, I wanna go to bed
I had a drink about an hour ago
And it’s gone straight to my head
Well I’ve been up all night long
Talking with friends about the things in life
They’ve seen it all, done it all, heard it all
That’s what friends are for
- The Moon Looked Down and Laughed
The moon has eyes and watches me
As I go to sleep
I’ve caught so many falling stars
There’s holes in my hands
Such a tale I could tell you
Oh, I will take one more step
Get down on your knees, crawl!
Another dead soldier – me that’s all
- Theme For Thought
Should I talk the way you want me to talk
Say the things the way you want to hear them
I know a lot of people like that
They talk in words but what do they mean
When heart becomes a chain, painted like a whore
And I see her, see whore
They cannot see what they don’t have so deny that time
But there’s one thing, one thing I have, one thing I see
- Tortured Heart
The fly in the ointment
The hole in your head
Pretty little visions of honeymoon gold
Shame! Shame! Shame!
What a terrible shame
Let’s all sing of the tortured heart
Flesh and the devil
Live and let live
