- ...Rhodesia
Standing outside on a kitchen floor
Love utensils in the palm of her hand
Saluting supermarket majorettes
We understand
Oh muzak for digital clocks
Departmental stores, vacate no sound
Exchanging surgical appliances
On hired ground
- Adolescent Sex
Adolescent Sex
1977/1978
David Sylvian
The sidewalk's trading love
As subway lights grow brighter
We're just another hype
But the pressure's getting harder
- Ain't That Peculiar
Honey you do me wrong but still I'm crazy about you
Stay away too long and I can't do without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my love stronger than before
I know flowers go through rain
But how can love go through pain
Ain't that peculiar
- All Tomorrow's Parties
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrows parties?
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrows parties
Where will she go, what shall she do
When midnight comes around?
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
- Automatic Gun
Too many heartaches have been rejected
A notified delay
I feel adrenalin ejecting
And I'll soon go on my way
And it's so hard now
And it's so hard now
Beating on my brain
I find no fascination to stimulate
- Communist China
Your skin a white stained sensation
Clinical bodies won't do
And as we're pumping, pumping and resisting
Inserting love into you
Communist China
Take me to heaven
Somebody wrong
- Dream Journey
The faraway dream that is shining madder red
is writing down the moments and shining tonight.
The full moon and
my heart begin to rise gracefully.
On the vaguely wavering bridge
that is ephemeral like bubbles,
the pink-colored heat haze
- European Son
Scurrying across the broadwalk
Some places I tend to forget
The air clings deep in my throat
It's so cold in this luncheonette, well
Somebody wants to know you
An ordinary boy
Somebody wants to know you
- Gentlemen Take Polaroids
Now there's a girl about town I'd like to know
I'd like to slip away with you
And if you said you love me how could I mind?
Is there another side to everything you do?
Take in the country air
You'll never win
- Ghosts
When the room is quiet
The daylight almost gone
It seems there's something I should know
Well, I ought to leave
But the rain it never stops
And I've no particular place to go
Just when I think I'm winning
- Halloween
The cottage is windswept
Now there's only sorrow here
Follow evacuation signs
You're detached and broken
And so sentimental now
Remembering how we passed our time
Somebody waits for me
- I Second That Emotion
Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat.
And maybe you'll go away and never call,
And a taste of honey is worse that none at all.
Oh little girl!
In that case I don't want nobody
I do believe that that would only break my heart
- In Vogue
Before the light of day
Reveals itself
I am assured she won't forget
But still I will console myself
Should I lose something I could regret?
But now she turns to leave
Exactly like she used to do
- Katyusha
Ringo no hana hokorobi
Kawamo ni kasmitachi
Kiminaki sato nimo
Haru wa shinobi yorinu
Kishibe ni tachite utau

- Life In Tokyo
There's always something left inside here
I've really nothing much to lose
It seems so sentimental
Why should I care?
Somewhere there's a sound of distant living
Welcome in high society
It seems so artificial
- Love is a Beautiful Pain - Endless Tears
Kimi no kokoro ni tsutsumare ta mama ai o chikai?

- Methods Of Dance
Here's a new design
The cut and style you know so well
Spins across the floor
It's the same routine
Just one last word before you go
Why sould I ask for more?
- My New Career
I never wanted to be on my own
I could be wrong
But I just slipped away from home
And now I'm gone
Well, way down south
They're having minor ups and downs
But they are moving on ahead
- Nightporter
Could I ever explain this feeling of love?
It just lingers on
The fear in my heart that keeps telling me
Which way to turn
We'll wander again
Our clothes they are wet
We shy from the rain
- Obscure Alternatives
Love's incentives understood
Irregular thoughts comply
And still afraid of every word
Love is unsatisfied
Zero down to zero
Submerging in every man
Zero down to zero
- Phantom of the Opera
You meno nakade anata wa
Konokokoroni sasayaku
Inasu watamo ara ore
wa phantom on pi opera sore anata o
Itoshii i itoyo koyo imo
fimi no kokoroni hitsu nite
kokuni u toomo tora uta
- Quiet Life
Boys, now the times are changing
The going could get rough
Boys, would that ever cross your mind?
Boys, are you contemplating moving out somewhere?
Boys, will you ever find the time?
Here we are stranded
Somehow it seems the same
- Still Life In Mobile Homes
Sometimes the comfort of a room
Sometimes I'm quite alone
I pack to leave a foreign town
It seems I'll never know
But I'll rent new accommodation
We'll make plans for mobile homes
- The Art Of Parties
Once I was young
Once I was smart
Now I'm living on the edge of my nerves
The things we said weren't quite so tough
When we were you
Well I'm burning, I'm burning buildings
I'm building this time
- The Fragrance of Early Summer
The spring has passed and the summer come again
The new leaves glisten and twinkle in lush green
Beyond the fields and hills, where the fog dissipated
they rustle in the wind longingly
The sea of deep green burst into sprouts
As I walk alone in a small lane
Before I realized, my mind silently drifts
- Transmission
Transmission
Your confiscating transmission
For liberty, no sympathy
Don't interfere with direct invitations
She's talking of communial love
Woo-wo, woo-wo
- Watashi No Koe

Hito no kokoro kizutsukeru
