Some Girls Wander By Mistake Lyrics:

Alice

Alice pressed against the wall

(live version is 'She stands pressed ...')

So she can see the door

In case the laughing strangers crawl and

Crush the petals on the floor

Alice in her party dress

She thanks you kindly

So serene

She needs you like she needs her tranqs

To tell her that the world is clean

To promise her a definition

Tell her where the rain will fall

Tell her where the sun shines bright

And tell her she can have it all

Today

Today

Pass the crystal spread the Tarot

In illusion comfort lies

The safest way the straight and narrow

No confusion no surprise

Alice in her party dressed to kill

She the thanks you turns away

She needs you like she needs needs her pills

To tell her that the world's okay

To promise her a definition

Tell her where the rain will fall

Tell her where the sun shines bright

And tell her she can have it all

Today

Today

Alice

Don't give it way

Floorshow

The bodies on the naked on the low damp ground

In the violet hour to the violent sound

And the darkness the blinding the eyes that shine

And the voices and the singing and the line on line

This is the floorshow the clapping hands

Animal flow from the animal glands

In the violet hour to the violent sound

Going round and around and around and around and around

I feel the bite I feel the beat I see the dancing feet

I feel the light I feel the heat I see the new elite

I see the final floorshow I see the western dream

I see the faces glow and I see the bodies steam

See them shimmy see them go

See their painted faces glow

Slow slow quick quick slow

See those pagans go go go go go

This is the floorshow the last ideal

It's populist got mass appeal

The old religion redefined

For the facile futile totally blind

Mundane by day inane at night

Pagan playing in the flashing light

In the violet hour to the violent sound

Going round and around and around and around and around

And the bodies naked on the low damp ground

In the violet hour to the violet sound

And the darkness the blinding the eyes that shine

And the voices singing line on line

See them shimmy see them go

See their painted faces glow

Slow slow quick quick slow

See those pagans go go go go go

1969

Well alright!

CHORUS

It's 1969 ok

We got a war across the USA

There's nothing here for me and you

We're just sitting here with nothing to do

There's nothing here for me and you

Another year with nothing to do

Now last year I was 21

I didn't have a lot of fun

Now I'm gonna be 22

So, oh my, I'll boohoo

Now I'm gonna be 22

So, oh my, I'll boohoo

CHORUS

Well it's 1969, Baby

Well it's 1969, Baby

It's 9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9-teen 69

Teen 69 [repeat x3]

Yow! [repeat x3]

Kiss the Carpet

She got red eyes

She wear dust

I went over over over

I went bust

I kissed I kissed the carpet

I climbed the curtain

I was certain

And I said yeah

Yeah

She got red eyes

She wear dust

I went over over over

I went bust

I kissed I kissed the carpet

I climbed the curtain

I was certain

But I said

Next Time I look before I

Next time the carpet

Next time I look before I

Kiss the carpet should I

Kiss

Kiss

Kiss

Lights

The lights shine clear through the sodium haze

The night draws near and daylight fades

Ignore the voices discard the day

For the brand new darkness for the bright new way

Hit

Well there have been better plans

But none that I could ever understand

Emerald signal the green on black

The lights say move say never look back

And so I find a place where I've never been seen

Find another place where the red turns green

Where the emerald glistens through the darkness again

Where the emerald glistens through the rain

The lights shine clear through the sodium haze

The night draws near and the daylight fades

But there's a voice in the distance quiet and clear

Saying something that I never ever wanted to hear

Well there have been better plans

But none that I could ever understand

I see the emerald signal see the green on black

I see the light say move say never look back

And so I find another place where I'll never been seen

Find another place where the red turns green

Where the emerald glistens through the darkness again

Where the emerald glistens through the rain rain rain

And I'm happy here

In the rain

In the rain

In the rain rain rain I'm happy here

In the rain

Where the emerald

Glistens

Through the rain

Valentine

The razor bites and the shriek subsides

He arches clutching at his sides

Across the floor across the tiles

The man is dead and the razor smiles

A shiny love song a quick incision

Cut him down on television

A people come to this

Beyond the age of reason

A people fed on famine

A people on their knees and

People eat each other

A people stand in line

Waiting for another war and

Waiting for my valentine

For a million empty faces

For a million hollow smiles

Cancer for my education

Watch the body hit the files

Waiting for another war and

Waiting for my valentine

Fix

Love for the party love for the nation

Love for the fix for the fabrication

Love for the corpse for the corporation

Love for the death and for the defecation

Romance and assassination

Give me the love of genocide

Give me love

Burn

Burn me a fire in the reptile house

In the colour and the carnage fall me down

My face in the fire in the reptile house

And the kissing and the colour come crashing down

In the fire in the reptile house

In the colour and carnage fall me down

My face in the fire in the reptile house

the kissing and the colour come crashing down

Down down down

Down around me

Down down down

Down around

Face in the fire on the reptile house

In the colour and the carnage fall me down

My face in the fire in the reptile house

And the kissing and the colour come crashing down

Down down down

Down around me

Down down down

Around

My Face in the fire my faith in the fire

In the

In the burn me down my

My burning down

In the fire in the reptile house

In the colour and the carnage fall me down

My face in the fire in the reptile house

And the kissing and the colour come crashing

Down

Crashing down

Temple of Love

1

With the fire from the fireworks up above me

With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand

You run for cover in the temple of love

You run for another but still the same

For the wind will blow my name across this land

2

In the temple of love you hide together

Believing pain and fear outside

But someone near you rides the weather

And the tears he cried will rain on walls

As wide as lovers eyes

CHORUS

In the temple of love: Shine like thunder

In the temple of love: Cry like rain

In the temple of love: Hear my calling

In the temple of love: Hear my name

3

And the devil in black dress watches over

My guardian angel walks away

Life is short and love is always over in the morning

Black wind come carry me far away

4

With the sunlight died and night above me

With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside

5

You run for cover in the temple of love

You run for another it's all the same

For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside

With the fire from the fireworks up above

With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain

6

You run for cover in the temple of love

I shine like thunder cry like rain

And the temple grows old and strong

But the wind blows longer cold and long

And the temple of love will fall before

This black wind calls my name to you no more

7

In the black sky thunder sweeping

Underground and over water

Sounds of crying weeping will not save

Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar

All your prayers must seem as nothing

Ninety-six below the wave

When stone is dust and only air remains

CHORUS 2

In the temple of love: Shine like thunder

In the temple of love: Cry like rain

In the temple of love: Hear the calling

And the temple of love is falling

Down

(end of single version. extended version's additional lyrics follow)

CHORUS

[repeat verse 7]

the only haven you can trust

[repeat verse 3]

With the fire from the fireworks up above

With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain you

[repeat verse 6]

[repeat verse 2]

CHORUS 2

Heartland

Lay me down the long white line

Leave the sirens far behind me

Paint my name in black and gold

My heart my flame my heart my road

My heartland fade across the line

Heartland sing the faces shining

In the failing failing failing

Heartland make the places mine

Clearly now the past mistakes

The giant steps we had to take

The path that ever promise made to

Die in dream dissolve and fade

CHORUS

My heartland heartland heartland [repeat x3]

Behind the lines a face that glimmers

Still looking for a face that shines

In the promise in the places

I'm going to make them mine

CHORUS [repeat x40]

Gimme Shelter

Oh, see the storm is threatening

My very life today

If I don't get some shelter

Yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

[repeat]

Yeah

Oh, see the fire is sweeping

Down through the streets today

Burning like a bright red carpet

Another fool who lost the way

Rape. Murder.

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

[repeat]

Yeah

[repeat verse one]

Love, sisters

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

Love, sisters

It's just a shot away

Shot away

Shot away

War, children

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

War, children

It's just a kiss away

Kiss away

Kiss away

Rape. Murder.

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

Rape. Murder.

It's just a kiss away

Kiss away

Kiss away

[repeat previous three x2]

[repeat love chorus]

War, children

It's just a kiss away

Kiss away

Kiss away

The Damage Done

Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the 4th floor.

Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the dance floor

Somebody tell me about the perfect bomb

The royal valley on a blitzkrieg bomb

Somebody tell me how to use my gun tools

Kiss the napalm in the afternoon

I saw the film, I saw the place

I live to work for the killing sake

When I think you're knocked, when the radio died

And the rhythm played from every side

See the rebel and the damage done

See the debris and the damage done

See the wreckage and the damage done

See the film, see the damage done

Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the 4th floor.

(This is the image, this is the place)

Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the dance floor

(This is the way the world will end)

Somebody tell me about the ...

(The waltzing man have dancing eyes)

I need to know about the ...

(This is the way the world will end)

Me I'm lost and the radio's dead

Now I'm relaxed and the radio's dead

The rhythms gone, the radio's dead

And the damage done inside my radio.

Watch

Here's the story

No time to lose (like the present)

Now I've lost my friends

Now I've lost friends

It's not my party,

Never will be

Feeling out-of-place,

I'm not happy

A touch of the storm cloud ...

Roughage in a comradeship and conversations

Conversations, everything's so run-of-the-mill

We stand still ...

And time slips back,

And time slips back ...

Back to the garden,

Time slips back

Back in the dark rooms

Time slips back

Back in the dark room

Back to the dark age

Put me on the rack

We stand still

Time slips back

Recount movements

Recount movements

Watch us grow

Watch us fall from grace

Watch us fall flat on our face

But you always fall on your feet

Tell me how you always

Fall on your feet

Tell me how

Tell me how

Tell me how

Oh tell me how

Home of the Hitmen

The sun shines on the aluminium

I guess this must be the home of the hitmen

Body Electric

Through the cables and the underground now

The faceless breathless calls

This is Babel, sensurround now

This place is death with walls [repeat x4]

Too much contact, no more feeling

The Sound around them all

Acid on the floor so she walk on the ceiling

And the body electric flashes on the bathroom wall [repeat x2]

Crawling to the corners where the idiot children call

See the body flashing on the bathroom wall

[repeat all]

Adrenochrome

We'll turn away in a passive decision

We'll take the steps through the unmarked door

A look back for another collision

But the boys of the spires

Are boys no more

Not black and red boys

Frightened by the night

By the Catholic monochrome

The Catholic girls now

Stark in their dark and white

Dread in monochrome

the Sisters of Mercy

High tide

Wide eyed

Sped on adrenochrome

For the Sisters of Mercy

Filled with

Panic in their eyes

Rise

Dead on adrenochrome

We had the power

We had the space

We had a sense of time and place

We knew the words

We knew the score

We knew what we were fighting for

For the freedom

The time to choose

But time to think

Is time to lose

The signals clash

And disappear

The shade too loud

And the sound unclear

For the

High tide

Wide eyed

Dread in monochrome

Denied in spite

Disliked in monochrome

Panic in their eyes

Rise

Dead and monochrome

The Sisters of Mercy

Spite

On adrenochrome

The way is clear

The road is closed

The damage done

And the course

Imposed you

[repeat 1 & 2]

Anaconda

Baby buy an Anaconda baby buy a thing to wear

She go walking she go crawling she go sliding through the air

She go talking warm and fashion she go talking debonair

But see her face turn to a mask and passion turn to she don't care

CHORUS

She will she will she will she will let it take her breath away

She will she will she will she will let it take her life away

Let it wrap itself around her till it kill her in it's way

She will she will she will she will blow away

Baby hit the rush hour traffic get a ride to anywhere

Baby buy the number three she pay the man she pay the fare

Baby hit the wild blue yonder on the mainline on the side

Steal to feed the Anaconda will not see the suicide

CHORUS

Baby finger on the trigger baby shot formaldehyde

Turn into a marble figure turn the matter dead inside

Turn into a China doll maybe go to the final ride

Baby go where I don't follow baby to the other side

CHORUS
