	Airlane INSTRUMENTAL

	Metal We're in the building Where they make us grow And I'm frightened by The liquid engineers Like you. My Mallory heart Is sure to fail I could crawl around the floor Just like I'm real Like you. The sound of metal I want to be You I could learn to be a man Like you. Plug me in And turn me on Oh everything is moving. I need my treatment It's tomorrow they send me Singing 'I am an American'. Do you? Picture this If I could make the change I'd love to pull the wires from the wall Did you? And who are you And how can I try Here inside I like metal Aren't you All I know Is no-one dies I'm still confusing love with need.

	Complex They won't come back You know it's always the same And they're sure to forget Saying, 'Everyone lies' So I'm down to this I'm down to walking on air And you're here by my side With all your waving and smiles Please keep them away Don't let them touch me Please don't let them lie Don't let them see me

	Films I don't like the film I don't like the film Play it all back Play it all back And I don't like the scenery And I don't like the set, so Pull it all down Pull it all down But I like the actors And I like the show We're so exposed We're so exposed Anything can happen Anything can happen Don't let them see Don't let them know And you wonder why And you wonder why Turn off the lights Turn off the sound

	M.E. And M.E. I eat dust We're all so run down I'd call it my death But I'll only fade away And I hate to fade alone Now there's only M.E. We were so sure We were so wrong Now it's over But there's no one left to see And there's no one left to die There's only M.E. Why should I care? Why should I try? Oh no. Oh no. I turn off the pain Like I turned off you all Now there's only M.E.

	Tracks Where are the tracks Where are the lines Where are the tracks, dear Where is the time You we're so cold You were so slow And we were so old, dear And we were unsure And I want your lines And I want your time And I want your face, dear And you can have mine

	Observer I could stand here for days Or I could stand here for hours I could stand here for a lifetime Watching you, and waiting always I could observe you all I could wait for a day Or I could wait for an hour I could wait here for a lifetime Watching you, and thinking always I could observe you all

	Conversation Oh it's so easy When parts take over My conversation Is nothing more than lies You're just the viewer So cold and distant I've no intentions Of saying 'I love you' My conversation We are not gods We are not men We are not making claims We are only boys You are not strong You are not force You are not regular You are just wrong There are no faces This is my complex You are my picture I call you mirrors These are not my tears Not my reflection Am I a photo? I can't remember My conversation

	Cars Here in my car I feel safest of all I can lock all my doors I't's the only way to live In cars Here in my car I can only receive I can listen to you It keeps me stable for days In cars Here in my car Where the image breaks down Will you visit me, please If I open my door In cars Here in my car I know I've started to think About leaving tonight Although nothing seems right In cars

	Engineers All that we are Is all that we need to be All that we know Is you and machinery We're engineers We are your heartbeat We are your nightlife We are your 'low-line' We keep you alive. For now We're engineers We are your voice We are your blood flow We are your eyes We're all you need to know We're engineers All that we are Is all that you'd love to be All that we know Is hate and machinery We're engineers

	Me, I Disconnect From You (Live 1979) The alarm rang for days You could tell from conversations I was waiting by the screen I couldn't recognise my photograph Me, I disconnect from you I was walking up the stairs Something moved in silence I could feel his mind decaying Only inches away from me And I disconnect from you Please don't turn me off I don't know what I'm doing outside Me and the telephone that never rings If you were me what would you do? Me, I disconnect from you

	Bombers (Live 1979) Look up I hear the scream of sirens on the wall I see a policeman crying in the backseat of a dying Ford Hotel waiters leave the bedrooms of stars Who are far too old And no-one ever told me That I could be so cold Bombers fight at zero feet Bombers fight at zero I see an old man knocked to the ground And beaten by the vicar's wife No-one stops to help they're far too busy Trying to save their own lives A tiny girl screams for mother And wanders out into the street I saw her going down underneath A thousand people's running feet Bombers fight at zero feet Bombers fight at zero All the nurses pulling needles from their arms Hope it lasts all night And all the soldiers curse the day they joined the army And prepare to fight In silent bars, in silent rooms, in silent cars You hide where you can And me I know just where you are, you see I'm a bomber man Bombers fight at zero feet Bombers fight at zero Bombers fight at zero feet Bombers fight at zero

	Remember I was Vapour (Live 1979) There's nothing here but us There's nothing here but us Remember, I was vapour Remember, I was just like you Remember, I was liquid Remember, I was someone too Remember, I need others Remember, I need oxygen Remember, I need lovers Remember, I need to forget Chorus Remember, I am human Remember, I feel just like you Remember, I had reasons Remember, I had friends like you Remember, I grow tired Remember, I could end all this Remember, I have memories Remember, I need to forget

	On Broadway (Live 1979) They say that Neon lights are bright on Broadway They say there's always magic in the air But when you're walking down the street And you ain't had enough to eat The city all lights up and you're nowhere They say The girls are something else on Broadway Looking at them just gives me the blues 'Cause how're you gonna make some time When all you got is one thin dime And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes They say that Love won't last too long on Broadway Now catch a Greyhound bus for home They all say I bet they're wrong, I know they are 'Cause I can play this here guitar And I won't quit 'till I'm a star On Broadway
