She drives her lovers in an old Mercedes
Had enough of your put offs and maybes
Wants to know if you're hanging with the ladies
Wants to see you headbanging with the crazies
What to do, what to say, better just to smile
Jibber jabber bout the weather feed the crocodile
"How've you been, just jump in, yes it's been a while"
As the cogs in your mind try to reconcile
What you haven't been told
==INSTRUMENTAL==
What you haven't been told
(Will never hurt you)
What you haven't been told
(Will never hurt you)
What you haven't been told
(Will never hurt you)
What you haven't been told
Let them tell you what to do, what you are to be
As you know we are weak as policy
Have a seat, have a treat, have another whirl
There's just one thing left to tell you girl
What you haven't been told
What you haven't been told will never hurt you

I want to see the lake of fire
That would just be bliss
Want to build a funeral pyre
And light it with a kiss
Indulgement of a wild desire
But with a little twist
The dawning of a new empire
But that would be amiss, be amiss, be amiss
And then they're calling your name
They're calling your name (your name)
Want to set your world on fire
That would just be bliss
Indulge me in my wild desires
But with a little twist
Place you on your funeral pyre
And light it with a kiss
Can you hear the angel's choir?
But nothing is amiss, is amiss, is amiss
I hear them calling your name
They're calling your name (your name)

According to legend this is the place
Where the worshippers of idols disappeared without a trace
And I was wondering just what on earth possessed them to believe
That there is more to life than we perceive
The coast is clear
There’s no one here
And still we hear the voices of the past
Don’t hold back
We’re still on track
To be caught in the nets that we have cast
Out of destruction a new world reborn
Where the past is relegated to the subject of our scorn
And there is no doubt as to what has led us here
The ghostly echoes whisper in our ear
The coast is clear
There’s no one here
And still we hear the voices of the past
Don’t hold back
We’re still on track
To be caught in the nets that we have cast
I’ve got that feeling, I’m lost in time
The world is reeling and I don’t mind
It’s so revealing, I’m hoping to find
That little space, that secret place where we can both unwind
Déjà vu: we’ve been here before
And in the meantime we’ve forgotten what it is we came here for
For we’ve got it in our hearts and in our heads and in our bones
To be drawn towards the path of the unknown
The coast is clear
There’s no one here
And still we hear the voices of the past
Don’t hold back
We’re still on track
To be caught in the nets that we have cast

Inspired by a riff from a jam session, it's back to the roots with distorted guitars and more than a nod to Joey Santiago.
There's a twinkle in your eyes at midnight
There's a sound in the street I can hear
Something's happened and I can't quite place it
An intoxicated voice says in my ear
"You got the time? You got some money mate?"
I cannot answer cos I'm not quite there
He's got a funny looking dog-like companion
He gives a funny looking hog-like stare
Five minutes later, and I'm back in the main street
There's a fuckin' riot going down here
They're throwing paint in a multitude of colours
It's like that ad where they sell you HD gear

Right now is the moment that you've always been waiting for
Grab it with both hands, you don't need to wait no more
It's our time
It's our place
And we're going to set the world ablaze
It's our time
It's our place
Yes we're going to set the world ablaze
Right here is the place that you've always been heading to
Throw down your marker, make it belong to you
This party is going down
This moment is our atonement
Just seize it, release it
Just seize this moment before it's gone

She lived there all alone, she liked to call it home
But then, one day, the fire burnt down her shack
With nowhere left to stay, she went out on her way
Headed west, never looking back
Heading down the track
Shouldering her pack
The sky has turned black
And never looking back
She reached the sandy shore, the surf filled her with awe
The waves, came rolling up the bay
She built herself a boat, to keep herself afloat
And soon, she was sailing on her way
Beware the shark attack
The sky has turned black
Never changing tack
Never looking back
On the seventh day, a dolphin came to play
And soon, she was perched upon its back
She rode it into port, without a second thought
She ventured forth, heading down the track
Shouldering her pack
The sky has turned black
And never looking back
Never looking back
