I'm so alone While we're apart The telephone Just breaks my heart But all I do Is sit around and think of you When I'm so hurt inside It's hell I'm going through I can feel love's waves breaking over me I'm so in love with you and so hopelessly But I'll take a chance Take a chance on losing you It's the last thing that I want And the last thing I should do But I've got to take that chance So high and dry I'm touching sky I'll test your love And wave goodbye The only way To be sure your love is here to stay To test those arms that bind Is to push them right out the way I can feel love's waves breaking over nme I'm so in love with you it's a tragedy But I'll take a chance Take a chance on losing you It's the last thing that I want And the last thing I should do But I've got to take that chance INSTRUMENTAL And I can feel love's waves breaking over me I'm so in love with you and so hopelessly But I'll take a chance Take a chance on losing you It's the last thing that I want And the last thing I should do But I'll take a chance Take a chance on losing you It's the last thing that I want And the last thing I should do But I've got to take that chance

In my head and in my heart Something hard to explain Fire burns a route to my soul And she's the fuel that feeds the flame I can't control myself I must be going out of my mind Hands shake while I quake in my boots With her around it's fever time I get the strangest feeling As she walks by I get the strangest feeling That look in her eyes That cuts me inside I could be the twilight dancer Take a chance with the light Steal the flame from the tongue spitting fire Fly my heart like a kite I can trace the moonlight glow That gently caresses her skin I will always be shadowed under The girl who's light is everything I get the strangest feeling As she walks by I get the strangest feeling That look in her eyes That cuts me inside In my soul the aligning of hearts The sky drips with my pain I will always the chariot be To run like tigers in rain I get the strangest feeling As she walks by I get the strangest feeling That look in her eyes That cuts me inside

Let’s Go Crazy Now I never met a girl like you No-one as crazy as to do what you do The things you like to put me through The maddest things and yet I love you I want you oh Where will it all end? Where will it all end? I never had a friend like you To run me round in ways the way that you do Who’d make me do the things you do And yet I love it when you do it Won’t you do it to me oh Where will it all end? Where will it all end? So let’s go crazy now Let’s go crazy now I never met a girl like you No-one as crazy as to do what you do The things you like to put me through The maddest things and yet I love you I want you oh Where will it all end? Where will it all end? Where will it all end? So let’s go crazy now Let’s go crazy now Let’s go crazy now

You'll Never Know I felt my confidence Sinking with every word you said And the promise of love you made Came to nothing Came to nothing From the window I heard you talk Holding court gathered in the hall Bitter words eating out my soul And the laughter The worst of all You'll never know The tears I cried in vain But how it shows When it comes again Here it comes again You'll never know The burning deep inside My dying throes Words I heard that night Hear them every night All my dreams shattered in one night Just a shadow of what was my self Down the spiral staircase fall Into despair Into hell In my throat choking back the tears A taste so bitter to be not defined I recall every barb-edged word Echo-like repeating in my mind And now I mourn the loss Of a love that was never mine All the faith and trust I gave The wounded victims left far behind All my dreams shattered in one night Just a shadow of what was myself Down the spiral staircase fall Into despair Into hell

Low 03:06
Low And when you're all alone Feeling lonely Feeling low When morale is on the ground Watch the vultures gather round When skies are black Don't take so on yourself When things look grey Don't worry times can change And may never be the same And when you're all alone Feeling lonely Feeling low When morale is on the ground Watch the vultures gather round And when you're blue Find peace in solitude Find rescue in your heart Look yourself in the eye And steer the fear away When friends are green Don't hanker for what's been To when days were gold Things are never what they seem Life is really just a dream And when you're all alone Feeling lonely Feeling low When morale is on the ground Watch the vultures gather round And when you're blue Find peace in solitude Find rescue in your heart Look yourself in the eye And steer the fear away Find peace in solitude Find rescue in your heart Look yourself in the eye And steer the fear away Tomorrow is another day.

Little India 04:16
Little India You're an adult now and a child no more That's a fact your mother and I can't ignore So soon we'll send a letter back home To a man who will tame and make you a wife of his own Anything you wanted we gave it to you You had a good upbringing don't dispute what is true Our traditions they say that a parent decides What is best for their girl and who makes her their bride Who will love you when you get old Who will love you when you get old Dress up fine let your father see What a beautiful creature you have grown up to be And how happy are we on your wedding day That we gain us a son just by giving you away You'd just left school and full of ideas Bringing confirmation to our darkest fears How could we have a daughter with a mind of her own When all women should be a man's possession at home Who will love you when you get old Who will love you when you get old Can't you see everything we want is what's best for you Buckle down turn your head around do what we tell you to do Who will love you when you get old Who will love you when you get old

Change 05:12
Change Sometimes I don't understand You chasing other men When I give you all I can Late nights Turn to early days You've nothing more to say Is this how you had it planned But I can't see No reasons for your lies You never even tried Is that how to live your life? But you Are a mystery to me Ain't no way a girl should be Hanging round so late at night Things have got to change Things have got to change Babe you've got to change Your mind. Though I do believe You believe Everything's fine. You say That you don't really care If I'm here or if I'm there As long as you are free But if You want our love to grow Though I'm ashamed to say it's so You've got to listen to me So you must see That things have got to change All around be re-arranged Does that seem so strange to you Because Our life is very short But it's made shorter still By the fighting that we do Things have got to change Things have got to change Babe you've got to change Your mind. Though I do believe You believe Everything's fine. Things have got to change.

The Killing Trade Here In this cold and faceless room Just a number on a cage A thing without a name Here, In cages neat and clean Waiting fearfully to go Where so many more have been Fearing what I've never seen I Have seen the hands that deal in pain And the blade when freshly stained Empty cages that fill again But I have seen their shapes Moving silently past the iron grill Maybe they'll overlook me If I just stay quiet and still And breath a little less I'm sure they will Now As each moment flickers past While in their mercy left I pray to their God not mine Till the curious blade divides My heart keeps missing At each fearfull sound Unscrewed and burning Turning inside out Waiting In senseless fear As the moment of my death draws near

Talking To Myself Here in this room I hear the sound of keys in my door I can't take it anymore They walk into my room I'm strapped to my bed I look up I feel so dizzy in my head I feel like screaming but my vocal chords are dead Will this torment be over soon They pump me full of strange drugs And they beat me until I remember names They break my fingers till I pass out with the pain. Here in this room I awake to the sound Of the rats that scurry on the ground I shake my head at the pain that pounds and pounds When I hear whispers in the gloom I must be talking to myself There can be nobody else but me in this room I must be talking to myself. In the darkness of the room The image crisp and clear My mothers with me, her voice I hear In my deliria So child like I cry In me a secret never to be out I tell my mother, who nods back while I shout In my hysteria I must be talking to myself There can be nobody else but me in this room I must be talking to myself. I must be talking to myself There can be nobody else but me in this room I must be talking to myself. I must be talking to myself I must be talking to myself

Gonna Make You Love Me I'm gonna make you love me No matter what people say "She's too good for you boy - you'd better stay away" But I've got plans to make you mine I've got plans for you I'm gonna break those barriers down I'm coming up for you I'm gonna make you love me No matter what you do I'm gonna make you love me I'm coming after you I'm gonna get to you. I'm just wild about the clothes you wear They look so mean and free I love the way you dress your hair You're all a girl should be I'm gonna take you heart in hand I'm gonna make you mine Strike a pose like a sun-eyed child With a look that transcends time. I'm gonna make you love me No matter what you do I'm gonna make you love me I'm coming after you I'm gonna get to you. Oh, what can a poor boy do But to want for such as you? And the dream may not come true But I'll keep hanging on Hanging on for you. I'm gonna make you love me No matter what you do I'm gonna make you love me I'm coming after you I'm gonna make you love me No matter what you do I'm gonna make you love me I'm coming after you I'm gonna get to you.

about

Recorded in the first half of 1987, the band hired in a mobile recording unit to tape their performance at Doncaster nightclub 'The Mainline'.
Since this was the bad old days of reel to reel and each tape held approximately 4 songs every time a reel was changed a song was sacrificed - so notable by their absence here are Modern Life and The Sting - though they have appeared elsewhere on video.
The master was uncovered in early 2012 and remastered, the tapes were digitally enhanced to remove all that dodgy tape hiss and the sound was surprisingly good - given their age.
So the band decided to put it out as a free to download album - and here you can download it for free or just name your price.. Or just enjoy the streaming - it's up to you.
