"Manifesto" lyrics
"Manifesto"
I am for a life around the corner
That takes you by surprise
That comes leaves all you need
And more besides
I am for a life and time by numbers
Blast in fast 'n' low
Add 'em up, account for luck
You never know
I am into friendship and plain sailing
Through frenzied ports o' call
O shake the hand to beat the band
With love is all
Or nothing to the man who wants tomorrow
There's one in every town
A crazy guy, he'd rather die
Than be tied down
I am for the man who drives the hammer
To rock you 'til the grave
His power drill shocks
A million miles away
I am for the revolution's coming
I don't know where she's been
For those who dare because it's there
I know I've seen
Now and then a subtle imperfection
In sturdy marble floors
And faces drawn pale and worn
By many tears
I am that I am from out of nowhere
To fight without a cause
Roots strain against the grain
With brute force you'd better
Hold out when you're in doubt
Question what you see
And when you find an answer
Bring it home to me

Whispered, spoken
In time
Rivers, oceans
That ain't me, babe

I'm just content to relax than drown within myself
Of mind
Sheltered, broken

Gary Numan - "Films" I don't like the film
I don't like the film
Play it all back
Play it all back
And I don't like the scenery
And I don't like the set so
Pull it all down
Pull it all down
But I like the actors

Television - "Foxhole" Soldier boy stands at a full salute
He wants your orders to execute
Send him out 'neath the screaming red lights
In a narrow ditch for the funny fights
Foxhole, foxhole - no more danger
