Two tracks are raging through my head... Both are solid tracks by the late, great band Brainiac.
"Fresh New Eyes"
There's a plastic man in a sports car
And he knows that he knows it all
His plastic features are smiling
As he scrapes them against a wall
There's a cover girl on a stake-out
As a worm on a hook she's bait
In the trunk of a plymouth in Memphis
She thinks she's made a mistake
Go on and give me some fresh new eyes
Dress my tongue in a new disguise
Go on and give me a sexy mouth to taste it
There's a sandman on the embankment
And his face has washed away
He's a prisoner by design
He thinks he's made a mistake
Go on and give me some fresh new eyes
Dress my tongue in a new disguise
Go on and give me a sexy mouth to taste it
To taste it
"Flash Ram"
So let's pretend your words are true
If you believe them I will too
I'll hold them down and suffocate
The true meanings
Would you lie just to prove a point?
And would you lie about lies you've told?
You're so pretty when I dress you in your fables
They hold you together
Flash ram
Flip the switch
Burn me again
Spark me out
I'll solo out my innocence
And use it as my one defense
Pretend it is the only thing I know
It holds me together
Flash ram
Flip the switch
Burn me again
Flash ram
Go back out the way you got inside
Just when you thought you knew me well
Maybe you'll have a friend in hell
You're not the only Judas here
What a gas!
Who do you think you're dealing with?
Last but not least a hypocrite
Couldn't you see me lying too
What a gas!
Spark you out
End of transmission... Awaiting further instructions... Stay indoors... This isn't a test...
