| 03 | Home By The Sea HOME BY THE SEA Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall stealing thru the dark of night Climbing thru a window, stepping to the floor checking to the left and the right Picking up the pieces, puttingthem away something doesn't feel quite right Help me someone, let meout of here then out of the dark was suddenly heard welcome to the Home by the Sea Coming out the woodwork, thru the open door pushing from above and below shadows without substance, in the shape of men round and down and sideways they go adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair then as one they sign and they moan Help us someone, let us out of here living here so long undisturbed dreaming of the time wewere free so many years ago before the time when we first heard welcome to the Home by the Sea Sit down Sit down as we relive out lives inwhat we tell you Images of sorrow, pictures of delight things that go to make up a life endless days of summer longer nights of gloom waiting for the morning light scenes of unimportance like photos in a frame things that go to make up a life Help us someone, let us out of here living here so long undisturbed dreaming of the time we were free so many years ago before the time when we first heard welcome to theHome by the Sea Sit down Sit down as we relive out lives in what wetell you let us relive out lives in what we tell you Sit down sit down cos you won't get away so with us you will stay for the rest of your days. So sit down As we relive out lives in what we tell you Let us relive out lives in what we tell you | 05:07 | |||

| 05 | Illegal Alien ILLEGAL ALIEN Got out of bed, wasn't feeling too good With my wallet and my passport, a new pair of shoes The sun is shining so I head forthe park, With a bottle of Tequila, and a new pack of cigarettes I got a cousin and she got a friend, Who thought that her aunt knew a manwho could help At his apartment I knocked on the door, he wouldn't comeout until he got paid. Now don't tell anybody what I wanna do if theyfind out you know that they'll never let me through. It's no fun being an illegal alien It's no fun being an illegal alien Down at theoffice had to fill out the forms A pink one, a red one, the colours you choose, Up to the counter to see what they think They said 'It doesn't count man, it ain't written in ink'. Don't trust anybody least not around here, cos It's not fun being and illegal alien, It's not fun being and illegal alien, It's not fun being and illegal alien, It's notfunbeing and illegal alien, An illegal alien, O.K. Consideration for your fellow man Wouldn't hurt anybody, sure fits in with my plan Over the border, there lies the promised land Where everything comes easy You just hold out your hand Keep your suspicions I've seen that look before But I ain't done nothing wrong now Is that such a suprise? But I've got a sister Who'd be willing to oblige She'd do anything now Tohelp me get to the outside So don't tell anybody what I wanna do If they find out you know that they'll never let me through. It's no fun being an illegal alien, It's no fun being an illegal alien, It's no fun being an illegal alien, It's no fun being an illegal alien, | 05:15 | |||
| 06 | Taking It All Too Hard TAKING IT ALL TOO HARD No not this confused again No not the same mistakes again. You're taking it all to heart You're taking it all too hard Why can't you see what's going on? I know you'd never admit You would ever be to blame Everything's a game to you The old days are gone And they're better left alone I cannot help you, it's much too late No not this confused again No not the same mistakes again. You'retaking it all to heart You're taking it all too hard There's alwaysareason why it happened You never never did anything wrong, but it It just happened to fall apart You're taking it all too hard Now thatit's dark, all of your fears, Like shadows creeping around. You're much too scared to look down And it's lonely out on your own The old daysare gone And they're better left alone But I still miss you I keep it to myself Oh no not this confused again Oh no not the same mistakes again You're taking it all to heart You're taking it all too hard Oh no not this confused again Oh no not the same mistakes again You're taking it all to heart You're taking it all too hard You're taking it all to heart You're taking it all too hard | 03:58 | |||
| 07 | Just A Job To Do JUST A JOB TO DO No use saying that it's alright, it's alright. Where were you after midnight, midnight. Heard a Bang, Bang, Bang; Down they go It's just a job you do Cos the harder they run, the harder they fall. I'm coming down hard on you. No-one saw what you looked like, what you looked like Like a stranger coming out of the night, out of the night Someone put the word on you, I hope my aim is true. I got a name, I got a number, I gotta line on you I got a name, I got a number,I'm coming after you Don't keep saying that it's alright, it's alright, It seems you went just a little too far this time Heard a Bang BangBang, and down you go, It's just a job I do, Cos the harder you run the harder you fall, I'm coming down hard on you, hard on you. I gotaname, I got a number, I got a line on you I got a name, I got a number, I'm coming after you Keep running, Keep running; city to city Evenif you're innocent, You can cause too much embarrassment And thoughyour heart is breaking, And you know there's no mistaking. For you feel your life line breaking Can feel your hands are shaking No-one answersthe telephone You can never even go home alone and though your heart is breaking and you know there's no mistaking. The footsteps close behind. Don't pretend that you sleep at night, sleep tight Can't youfeel that the time is right, it's alright. Heard a Bang Bang Bang, down you go No-one really cares Cos the harder you run, the harder you fall. I'm coming down hard on you. I got a name, I got a number, I gota line on you I got a name, I got a number, I'm coming after you | 04:47 | |||
