FLESH MACHINE
A machine is born into this world
with legs and arms and skin
and ears and eyes and mouth;
It's almost human
The machine communicates its thoughts
It sometimes make mistakes,
but a machine that makes mistakes
is never forgiven.
There's a logic to the life of a flesh machine
One thing led to another.
You live you think you learn,
a life in numbers.
The machine must learn about the world.
It should be allowed to roam,
though the danger to the other citizens is serious.
There's a logic to the life of a flesh machine
One thing led to another.
You live you think you learn,
a life in numbers.
Be kind, be friendly,
tell right from wrong,
enjoy strawberries and cream,
be aware of your own thoughts
and maybe, just maybe,
fall in love
Maybe fall in love
Maybe fall in love

MEAN MACHINE
I had some love affairs in my life,
but three of them I can't forget:
Three love affairs,
Three mean machines.
The first machine was enigmatic,
hiding the words,
sending secret messages
but not for me
(oh, not for me, oh no,
they were for the enemy)
I seduced it with procedures.
Slowly it unravelled,
and it spoke to me.
I fell in love with a mean machine,
followed the code of a mean machine.
I broke the code of a mean machine,
but now the mean machine is breaking me.
The second machine was almost human,
answering back,
A perfect imitation
for the friend I had
(that now is gone, ah gone,
he is so dead and gone)
I taught it to solve problems:
so many problems,
any problem but my own.
I fell in love with a mean machine...
The third machine was the state machine.
Oh, how it adored me,
declared me a hero,
but then it changed its mind
(oh how it changed its mind!)
Weird injections
are transforming me
I fell in love with a mean machine...

ZERO ONE LOVE SONG
One Song,
1-0-0-0-1 song,
I have only one song,
zero one song
for you.
One heart
tenderly beating,
zero one heart
constant and true.
One song, 1-0-0-0-1 song
my heart keeps singing
of one love for you.
One love
has possessed me,
zero one love
thrilling me through.
Darling Sweetheart,
You are my avid fellow feeling.
My affection curiously clings to your passionate wish.
My liking yearns to your heart.
You are my wistful sympathy: my tender liking.
Yours beautifully, MUC
One Song,
1-0-0-0-1 song,
I have only one song,
zero one song
for you.
One heart
tenderly beating,
zero one heart
constant and true.

SPIRIT
I'm so glad the stars were shining on Saturday,
to pay their tribute to you,
and I followed you with my thoughts
and I followed you with my thoughts
I could not have found a better companion
so brilliant, so charming,
we shared the numbers and the stars,
and I think you felt the same about me
and I think you felt the same about me.
Spirit is connected with matter,
but not always the same body.
Maybe you're still living on,
and you're still in this world,
still in this universe.
Would you send me a snapshot of Christopher;
I miss his face and his smile.
Oh, the way he used to smile back at me.
Ah, the way he used to smile back at me.
Love reveals a strange continuity,
and the time that we had was so brief
And I think one day we'll probably meet.
Yes, I think one day we'll probably meet.
Spirit is connected with matter,
but not always the same body.
Maybe you're still living on,
and you're still in this world,
still in this universe.

RUNNING
Running,
but will you make it this time?
Keep on running
until the deadline comes.
Then it’s over.
Yes, it’s all over.
Over,
but is it really over?
Stepping through the mirror
into a Deep Blue world
opening before you.
Red and White,
White and Red
are fighting again.
King, queen, rook,
knight, bishop, pawn —
the rank and file are broken.
Run run run run
Run run run run
Running…
Have you lost your head?
Keep on running,
they’re bringing in the dead
Running…
Have you lost your way?
Keep on running
and crack this code today
And then it’s over.
Yes, it’s all over
Over.
but is it really over?
Stepping through the mirror
into a game of chess
opening before you.
You’ll protect the king,
but sacrifice your queen.
Your knight in shining armour —
we had to let him go.
Run run run run
Run run run run

NIGHT CLUB
Here specialists can hardly say who's who,
tell the kidney from the heart.
Here women are an all-male crew,
and men play the women's parts.
Young lads dance the latest hits,
at ease in gowns and rubber tits,
while in falsetto they descant.
And women in tuxedos groan
with Santa Claus-like baritone,
while lighting up Havana brand.
So let's celebrate,
let's dance all night,
and love this love
until they turn on the light.
Men occupy the ladies' room here,
putting make-up on their face.
No woman looks for a husband here
‘cause each one's got a bride.
What's true is false, what's fake is not,
and everything's stewing in the pot,
and pain's a laugh, and pleasure makes us cry,
And up is down, and front's behind;
just shake your head or lose your mind…
Or lose your mind!
So let's celebrate,
let's dance all night,
and love this love
until they turn on the light.

1984
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is strength,
and 1+1 makes three
Oh Thought Criminal
stay alive
while you work for us
and 2+2 makes 5
You believe machines can think
You believe machines can sing,
but you lie with men,
therefore you are wrong.
Ministry of Truth
Tells no lie
You were vaporised
but you will never die
Disappear,
no return.
Will your thoughts survive
when all your books may burn?
You believe machines can think…
To the future
or the past
to times when thought is free
and where truth can last…
From a darker age
to an age of light:
Will you hold the flame
and let the truth shine bright?

EACH MAN KILLS THE THING HE LOVES
Each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!
Some kill their love when they are young,
And some when they are old;
Some strangle with the hands of Lust,
Some with the hands of Gold:
The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow cold.
Some love too little, some too long,
Some sell, and others buy;
Some do the deed with many tears,
And some without a sigh:
For each man kills the thing he loves,
Yet each man does not die.
Each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!

ANIMAL PATTERNS
Who has given the leopard its spots
and the zebra its stripes?
Who created the patches on the giraffe?
Who made animal patterns?
Life as chemistry
is a mystery.
Waves run to me,
waves of who we are
Life as chemistry
is defining me
Waves run through me
Waves of who we are
Who’s been cooking a chemical soup
and then making a shape: intelligent ape!
Who’ll discover the draft of a grand design?
Who makes animal patterns?
Life as chemistry
is a mystery.
Waves run to me,
waves of who we are.
Life as chemistry
is defining me
Waves run through me,
waves are who we are.
But aren’t we all animals?
Beautiful animals.
Curious, strange and so unique!
We are all animals,
beautiful animals.
Stay alive,
don’t kill the earth’s boutique!
Who has given the leopard its spots
and the zebra its stripes?
Who created the patches on the giraffe?
Who made animal patterns?

MESSAGES FROM THE UNSEEN WORLD
Messages from the unseen world:
The universe is the interior
of the light cone of creation.
Hyperboloids of wondrous light
rolling for aye through space and time.
Harbour those waves which somehow might
play out God’s wondrous mystery.

MIRROR MIRROR
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
it's me, the Evil Queen.
Forget Snow White
and the seven dwarves,
the Hunter's after me.
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
this poisoned apple is for me.
When I bite through tender peel,
my blood will soon congeal.
Dip the apple in the brew.
Let the sleeping death run through
my wires.
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
I built you in my image.
We play chess, we sometimes talk,
we sometimes make mistakes.
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
this image now has changed.
The state machine destroyed my body;
soon it will all fade away.
Dip the apple in the brew.
Let the sleeping death run through
my wires.
(One day my prince will come
One day we'll meet again
One day my prince will come
One day we'll never meet again)
Dip the apple in the brew.
Let the sleeping death run through
my wires.

It glows and glows,

Last night I went outside
and looked up at the sky;
it was three dimensional
(not two dimensional).
And the sky was full of stars
It was huge,
tremendous!
It was surrounding me with…
