The sun is a mass of incandescent gas,
a gigantic nuclear furnace,
where hyrdrogen is built into helium
at a temperature of millions of degrees!!!!

I built a little empire
Out of some crazy garbage
Called the blood of the exploited working class.
But they've overcome their shyness and they're calling me your highness
And the world screams
"Kiss me, Son of God!"

Don't call me at work again
Oh, no, the boss still hates me
I'm just tired and I don't love you anymore
And there's a restraunt we should check out
Where the other nightmare people like to go...
I mean nice people
Baby wait, I didn't mean to say nightmare.

When the ship runs out of ocean
And the the vessel runs aground
Land's where we know the boat is found
While there's nothing unexpected 'bout the water giving out
Land's not a word we have to shout.
But there's something beside the shoreline
Moving across the beaches
Heading up from the shipwreck
Making as if to say...
Women and men...

PS-This is a nice distraction from sniper coverage, which I can't seem to tear myself away from...

XTC versus Adam Ant
I can't tell you why
Even the singer from Bow Wow Wow
Can't make up her mind!

Since jeffyboy beat me to "Women and Men" (damn you!)...
Fogging the view, cupping face to the window,
in darkness you make out a spiraling shape.
Putting all reason aside you exchange
what you've got for a thing that's hypnotic and strange.
The spiraling shape will make you go insane!

She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
Words fail
Buildings tumble
The ground opens wide
Light beams down from heaven
She stands before my eyes
She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
Squares may look distant in her rear view mirror but they're actual size
As she drives away...

and the obvious...
Particle man, particle man
Doing the things a particle can
What's he like? It's not important
Particle man
Is he a dot, or is he a speck?
When he's underwater does he get wet?
Or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows, Particle man
Triangle man, Triangle man
Triangle man hates particle man
They have a fight, Triangle wins
Triangle man
Universe man, Universe man
Size of the entire universe man
Usually kind to smaller man
Universe man
He's got a watch with a minute hand,
Millenium hand and an eon hand
When they meet it's a happy land
Powerful man, universe man
Person man, person man
Hit on the head with a frying pan
Lives his life in a garbage can
Person man
Is he depressed or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with person man?
Degraded man, person man
Triangle man, triangle man
Triangle man hates person man
They have a fight, triangle wins
Triangle man

also... (my favorite)
Here in the hall of heads
You look through the keyhole
This is the hall of heads
One step through the doorway
Roll out that special head
This is our favorite one
Please don't try to leave
Don't leave the hall of heads
Hide underneath the porch
Hide down behind the furnace
You can't get away
You can't really hide
Once you hear the call
The song of the hall of heads
You can't run away
Your feet won't help you run
You can't run away
Out of the hall of heads

The statue got me high
The statue got me high
The monument of granite sent a beam into my eye
The statue made me die
The statue made me die
It took my hand it killed me and it turned me to the sky
The stone it called to me
(And now I see the things the stone has shown to me)
A rock that spoke a word
(An animated mineral it can be heard)
And though I once preferred a human being's company
They pale before the monolith that towers over me
The statue got me high
The statue got me high
The truth is where the sculptor's chisel chipped away the lie
The statue made me fry
The statue made me fry
My coat contained a furnace where there used to be a guy
The stone it called to me
(And now I see the things the stone has shown to me)
A rock that spoke a word
(An animated mineral it can be heard)
And as the screaming fire engine siren filled the air
The evidence had vanished from my charred and smoking chair
And what they found was just a statue
Standing where the statue got me high
And what they found was just a statue
Standing where the statue got me high
And now it is your turn
(Your turn to hear the stone and then your turn to burn)
The stone it calls to you
(You can't refuse to do the things it tells you to)
And as the screaming fire engine siren fills the air
The evidence will vanish from your charred and smoking chair
And what they found was just a statue
Standing where the statue got me high
And what they'll find is just a statue
Standing where the statue got you high

Once a boy named Mister Me bemoaned a great regret:
"I've floundered in the misty sea, but can't abide its mystery,
I wound up sad in bed"
So onward go and Edward Ho into the bounding main
Enjoy the show look out below but mind the misty sea
Or end up sad like Mister Me
He ended up sad He ended up sad
He ended up really, really, really sad
So take the hand of Mister Me and mister, make him glad
To swim the Mister Misty Sea and cease the Mister Mystery
That mister, made him sad
