I blame you all We're in formation saying 'safe, safe, safe' Turn up my collar and mix with dark The speaker turns on me spot her eyes It's hard to breathe, it's hard to breathe You end on reel one You end on reel one You are, you are G NUMAN vocals / Polymoog / piano Compurhythm P GARDINER bass C PAYNE solo piano C SHARPLEY drums Recorded at Rock City Engineer - Graeme Myhre Mixed at Rock City Engineer - Nick Smith @SONG: Remind Me To Smile We'll take a taxi to the show We could report by phone We could remind ourselves that we must laugh Reconsider: 'fame' I need new reasons This is detention it's not fun at all Remind me to smile You know, 'the old friends' line It gets so I feel like I'm in this cold, glass, cage I've got the horrors Check, over my shoulder I punch the air and fight but no-one's there You you - Oh no Old scars - don't show We fall - you see Crawl crawl - in love I dive - so clean Young things - don't scream Toys toys - so far Boys boys - you are (Chorus) Get off the car Get off the phone Move from my window, leave me alone Keep your revivals Keep your conventions Keep all your fantasies that's all we are G NUMAN vocals / guitar / Minimoog / Polymoog / Synare / Compurhythm / CP 30 P GARDINER bass / backing vocal C PAYNE Minimoog / backing vocal C SHARPLEY drums / backing vocal R BELL rhythm guitar / backing vocal D HAINES A.R.P. Pro-soloist / backing vocal Recorded at Rock City Engineer - Steve Smith Mixed at Matrix Engineer - Jess Sutcliffe @SONG: Sleep By Windows You can cry by my window You can crawl on the floor You can scream if you want to But I won't unlock the door You can sleep in bus shelters You can sleep in the park But I'll rip up the trees Until you tear yourself apart But I don't love you No I don't love you Do you dream? Back to surveillance Open eyes and wash out 'tear' A sign that says 'no exit' And 'no-one can save you here' I could talk about my programme Where everything is white I could specialise in pictures Where nothing's ever right But I don't love you No I don't love you Do you dream? We are just sound We are just noise And we are all here to lie Do you dream? You sleep by windows You sleep by windows Do you cry? Do you dream? Do you? Did you?
