New World Blues( Mike Howlett ) All those stories that used to say There's a new world begins today Bad old days just a memory Trouble is that it seems to me - yeah, yeah, yeah It's the same old planet Golden dreams of a golden age Silver tongue of an ancient sage When the prose is half fulfilled Seems it's time for you to pay all the bills - no, no no Not on the planet I had a vision the other night Woken up by an angel of light She sang a song so pure and bright A simple tale of how it might have been My political friend tells me I've got to fight He says I've got to stand up for my rights Well that's all right my friend you know I will Just one thing you know - I ain't gonna kill - no, no no Not on the planet Go take me flying out of this place To another time and some other space I'm just another soldier fallen from grace Won't you see me with a smile on my face? No,no,no! Not on the planet (Not on the planet) It's a new world (Not on the planet) It's the same old planet (Not on the planet) It's a new world (Not on the planet) But it's the same old planet (Not on the planet) It's a new world (Not on the planet) It's the same old planet (Not on the planet) It's a new world (Not on the planet) It's the same old planet (Not on the planet) The Police Index 3 O'clock ShotEveryone I know is lonely My God’s so far away And my heart belongs to no one So now sometimes I pray Please take this space between us And fill it up some way I’ve been waiting for my brothers Since fucking Christmas day There’s a song that everyone’s heard Let me hear it, make me a part Songs everyone’s heard Let me hear it, make me a part Nothing seems to matter To no one anymore They say my world is shattered I just did it on the floor It won’t go no further It is here I make my stand If you say my life is precious When you held it in your hand There’s a song that everyone’s heard Let me hear it, make me a part Songs everyone’s heard Let me hear it, make me a part There’s a song that everyone’s heard Let me hear it, make me a part Songs everyone’s heard Let me hear it, make me a part The Police Index Lady Of Delight( Mike Howlett ) Just the kind of lady to really set you sailing On emotion's ocean Just like a river she's rolling on forever Got you running around now you've found She turns the tide of your tired heart Back to the place where you made a start She's got the power to burn you up But she's turning, turning your golden heart Lady, lady of delight Lady, lady of the night Don't stand in the gutter boy, mumble and mutter That the world ain't treating you right I'm talking to you - I can prove it too - You'd better listen to me - I've got a guarantee Now who told you life was meant to be Happiness, Light, Love and Free What made you think you had a right?

The Police Index Towers Tumble( Mike Howlett ) Towers tumbled - all the buildings crumbled Volcanoes rumbled Insurance salesman mumbled Ballerians bumbled - all the heroes stumbled Politicians fumbled Suddenly a hand held out - take a ticket tout It was a chart - it was a card And those are your instructions And what he offered in his hand It was a diagram - master plan A secret plan for your deduction Crystals shatter - all the singers chatter While the drums just clatter Your silken raiment's tatter While all the poets chatter - "Oh, it doesn't matter" Please ignore the latter Settle back you're growing fatter Oh you know you've got no conception Well, you're far out in space I see you trying to trace a design Of your heart on the stars On the open ocean - like an open book See the feeble fumble for a better look See the sheep shake In their sleep wake Not an earthquake Or a death wake And all the while - through the testing and the trials She smiles Eternity smiles...
