Lyrics
Fragile Creatures
Open your eyes
And you'll see it all for the first time
We all come out into a blinding light
It's no surprise we cry
It really matters what I say to her this time
But no strong words will come to mind
Don't wanna rock your boat now Momma,
So we don't, and we say
Bye-bye
But we don't know why
Given up trying to work out what is
On your mind
Oh no, no, no, we just can't decide
We don't emerge full-formed
Our heads are too large
From the very start
We're fragile creatures
Everybody's trying to put ideas
In your head
Well I'm just sat here
Playing devil's advocate
Bye-bye
But we don't know why
Given up trying to work out what is
On your mind
Oh no, no, no, we just can't decide
Oh no, we just can't decide
We don't emerge full-formed
Our heads are too large
From the very start
We're fragile creatures

Sunshine
In the dark times we can take our own sunshine
But that kind is always up and down,
You don't know your left from your right
When the nightclubs have become like cathedrals
With out heads and bodies reeling In intensified feelings
Is it feeling for the first time? Almost paralysed
There's a burning bright sun on the horizon
It's great to stay up late and watch the sun rising
Wasted so much time in some party land
Where do I sleep tonight and where do I stand on that?
In the dark times we can make our own sunshine
Just abandon all our crutches and tear off all our disguises
Cos tomorrow can have a beautiful meaning
While you were away my dear I gave my heart to the world
She's in love with me I am hers and she is mine
There's a burning bright sun on the horizon
It's great to stay up late and watch the sun rising
Wasted so much time in some party land
Where do I sleep tonight and where do I stand on...
Where do I stand on that?
A burning bright sun upon the horizon
It's great to stay up late and watch the sun rising
There's a burning bright sun upon the horizon
It's great to stay up late and watch the sun
Watch the sun, watch the sun rising
Stowaways
There'll be a light outside
My window one day
And if they've come to take me away
I'll ask them to find some space
So the two of us can stow aboard
And leave for a better place
It's getting hard to bear
You're reading it every day
Everybody's talking about the end of the world
Just like it's yesterday's news
And there's nothing we can do about it at all
So we run away
And we will stow away upon the first ship out of here
We'll float into outer space, yeah we'll disappear
And the world seems very small now from the window
Of this vessel and we don't know where they're taking us
You're having second thoughts
I can read it in your eyes
Don't be fooled by the government
When they buy another landslide victory
All they want to do is bleed the planet dry
And the rich ones will survive
Surprise, surprise
And we will stow away upon the first ship out of here
We'll float into outer space, yeah we'll disappear
And the world seems very small now from the window
Of this vessel and we don't know where they're taking us at all
And we will stow away upon the first ship out of here
We'll float into outer space, yeah we'll disappear
And the world seems very small now from the window
Of this vessel and we don't know where they're taking us at all

End Of The World (For Two)
Small talk in the aftermath
Of a nuclear holocaust
I'm not quite sure how you and I
Made it out alive
We've seen some terrible things
We've had such terrible dreams
These last few nights
The only human beings to survive
Well I'm sorry but I like it here with you
This is the end of the world... for two
Red fire fills the sky
Followed by this endless night
Where nothing seems to grow
Hold me please I feel so cold
The water's sulphurous
I'm not sure what it's doing to us
But we've got to make it through
Survive somehow it's up to me and you
Well I'm sorry but I like it here with you
This is the end of the world... for two
Do-da-do-da-do-da-do-do
Do-da-do-da-do-da-do-do
Well I'm sorry but I like it here with you
This is the end of the world... for two
