TALKING LOUD AND CLEAR

TALKING LOUD AND CLEAR

Talking loud and clear
Saying just what we feel
Lying in the grass
With the sun on our backs
It doesn't really matter
What we do or what we say
With every little movement
We give ourselves away

Opposite and opposite
Decisions are reversed
Facing one another
With words that couldn't hurt
With very little word
You're getting closer to me
Talking loud and clear
Saying just what we feel today

Talking loud and clear
Saying just what we feel
Lying in the grass
We've got time on our hands
Body next to body
With silence all around
We understood each other
But didn't make a sound

Promises and promises
Of vows we shall return
Facing on another
I thought my heart would burn
You turn to move away
But then get closer to me
Talking loud and clear
Saying just what we feel today

JULIA'S SONG

The means to an end
A sinful distress
Writing down meaningless words
Vaguely off hand
So the rest of the band
Can learn from the bees and the birds
Concentrate business man you
You haven't got long
Planets are ruling your hearts
Stilettos and thighs may be burning your eyes
But it keeps you from falling apart

Heavy but generalised
Sordid and wet
Someone advised me to die
Blowing your mind
'Cos you know what you'll find
When you're looking for things in the sky

Under the influence
Rotting our nerves
Cutting us off at the mains
Nearing the end with your grandmother's friend
It's something to do when it rains
It's something to do when it rains
It's something to do when it rains
