VERSURI NEW MODEL ARMY
| New Model Army - 125 MPH |
| I'm heading north, I'm heading home doing 125
I close my eyes and count to ten - Ha ha, I'm
still alive
Perfect, perfect tunnel vision, razor sharp and
racing, racing
These moments, immortal,
No one t |
| New Model Army - 1984 |
| The vans they come in convoys now, stealing
through the dawn
Silent in the countryside in the hills up to the
north
There's road blocks on the Meden bridge
There's click, click clicking on the phone
Th |
| New Model Army - 51st State |
| Look out of your windows, watch the skies
Read all the instructions with bright blue eyes
We're W.A.S.Ps, proud American sons
We know how to clean our teeth and how to strip
down a gun
We're the 51st s |
| New Model Army - A Liberal Education |
| Take away our history
Take away our heroes
Take away our values
And leave us here with nothing
We were in the garden of Eden
Just as children mess around
We only leant against the tree
And the apple |
| New Model Army - Afternoon Song |
| Time passes slow - fields stretch out across open
acres
Time passes slow - the giant steps of mankind
touch us so little in the great lands
Our little storm whirls away out across calm wide
oceans
In t |
| New Model Army - Aimless Desire |
| I was working shift on the six o'clock, quiet in
the pale dawn.
Found a bird caught in the machinery - set it
free and watched it go
Quit the job that very day, and flew into the sky
Just following af |
| New Model Army - Ambition |
| Stepping out onto the stage the smalltown star
tonight
Flexes out for fame and fortune into the lights
The way she tears into the heart makes me realise
That I never understood hatred until I looked
int |
| New Model Army - Bury The Hatchet |
| Bury the hatchet with a smile and a curse
The world is big enough for both of us
The pack's been shuffled now - we've got different
hands
There's different enemies for both of us now
There's no one rou |
| New Model Army - Chinese Whispers |
| Such a sensitive opinion in one so young
Would you like to know about everything that we've
done
You believe what you read in the printed lies
But you won't believe the evidence of your own
eyes
And ye |
| New Model Army - Christian Militia |
| There's a witch hunt coming, screaming out on it's
rebirth
There's a crusade coming, Hellfires back here on
earth
See the light in their eyes shine, listen to their
words like swords
The Christian milit |
| New Model Army - Drag It Down |
| They started work this morning down at city square
They're pulling down the statues of our great
grandfather's hero
The new books said he wasn't such a great man
after all
And anyway remember that the t |
| New Model Army - Eleven Years |
| Stevie said now don't look round they're watching
us
Two girls in the corner of that dodgy club
And the grey eyes, the storm that I've come to
know and wish for
Before I caught a breath, well, she was s |
| New Model Army - Family |
| Joey puts her make-up on really well
She looks cool in the flashing lights
And all the boys gossip about the shape of her
legs
On these muddled up and drunken nights
And if it's all got to end up betwe |
| New Model Army - Frightened |
| It's all out on the streets today but you, you've
found a place to hide
Too busy with the ratrace, you pass by on the
other side
Yours is the face of the brand new Britain with
blinkers on your eyes
Fin |
| New Model Army - Gigabyte Wars |
| Well, you never grow up, you just get older,
carrying
all the familiar burdens with you, walking back on
the hometown streets on a night devoid of stars.
No one ever said it was going to be just, you
|
| New Model Army - Green And Grey |
| The time I think most clearly, the time I drift
away
Is on the bus-ride that meanders up these valleys
of green and grey
I get to think about what might have been and what
may yet come true
And I get to |
| New Model Army - Innocence |
| Chorus:
We scream, you run - fall out
You scream and we're gone - falling out
There must have been times in the smoke and the
beat on the dance-floor
When all of the doors, they were opening for you
|
| New Model Army - Long Goodbye |
| Holed up in your little room, we talk for hour on
empty hour,
pacing up and down between the walls that we have
built ourselves.
No more with the long goodbye, I can't stand
another tear;
I won't wait |
| New Model Army - Lust For Power |
| Across the flatlands we came out of nowhere
special
Like a peasant revolution - makeshift weapons in
our hands
We crashed the gates so hard we'd never heard that
kind of sound before
And braced ourselve |
| New Model Army - Marrakesh |
| They found us in the courtyard at our table in the
shade
We toasted our last few moments and then the end
came
They took us back to the airstrip in that beaten
up old car
And we rattled across the Afric |
| New Model Army - Mixam |
| Cassandra's still shouting from the city walls but
no one ever hears
And far below the traffic moves like fish upon the
ocean floor
to the rhythms of the tide
We're holding on so tight because it seems |
| New Model Army - My People |
| Stare across the crowd, the fear and love in their
faces
The children of the tribes, prisoners of the flags
unfurling
Protect us in these changing times,
The warm embrace, the killing price . . .
My pe |
| New Model Army - No Pain |
| Across the town on the other hill,
your lights glow from a different world.
You always found a place to hide - nails and cross
to lay beside;
with all the ghosts that we denied.
Now, in rippled arcs ac |
| New Model Army - No Rest |
| Chorus:
Four o'clock in the morning and still we cannot
sleep
Turning over turning round, twisting in our sweat
They say there is no rest for the wicked ones
Dear God what have we done?
There is no re |
| New Model Army - Poison Street |
| We were singing in the rain - like we invented
singing
There's a light in the sky from a million street
lights
And we danced all the steps from all those old
time movies
Rolling down the hill with laugh |
| New Model Army - Queen Of My Heart |
| To the Queen of my Heart, from the King of
Nowhere
I have watched you arming, and how you wave your
sword in the air;
always fighting the shadows as they move behind
you,
and the beating wings that hove |
| New Model Army - Sex (The Black Angel) |
| Look at my eyes - you know what it is
I want you, I want you
The way your body moves beneath that dress
And all the nights I've spent away alone in
sleeplessness
It's a hunger that we can fill
Racing |
| New Model Army - Smalltown England |
| Turn left at the lights about 50 yards down
There's a pub in the corner and I'll meet you
inside
About quarter to eight and we'll go into town
And find out what everybody's been saying about us
Smallt |
| New Model Army - Snelsmore Wood |
| I woke still half-dreaming I was falling out of
the trees
and tumbling down into the sky
It's cold, so cold sometime before dawn
searching for a light and reaching round for my
clothes
That we believe, |
| New Model Army - Stranger |
| When it comes down, we know we're alone
you could scream and nobody would hear
Today my face in the glass is a stranger's
furrowed with the lines of fear
All the little truths denied, all the little

| New Model Army - White Light |
| It's another heroes' sunset
I'm riding on the Great North Road
Coiled and tensed in wonder
As the land turns burning gold
Chorus:
Out in the sun, out in the wind
I'm nearly ready now to come back ag |
