    Invisible Touch (Banks/Collins/Rutherford, main lyricist Collins)

    
    Well I've been waiting, waiting here so long
    But thinking nothing, nothing could go wrong, ooh now I know
    She has a built in ability
    To take everything she sees
    And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her.
    
    She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
    She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
    She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
    It takes control and slowly tears you apart.
    
    Well I don't really know her, I only know her name
    But she crawls under your skin, you're never quite the same, and now I
    know
    She's got something you just can't trust
    It's something mysterious
    And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her.
    
    She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
    She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
    She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
    It takes control and slowly tears you apart.
    
    She don't like losing, to her it's still a game
    And though she will mess up your life,
    You'll want her just the same, and now I know
    She has a built in ability
    To take everything she sees
    And now it seems I've fallen, fallen for her.
    
    She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
    She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
    She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
    It takes control and slowly tears you apart.
    
    She seems to have an invisible touch...
    
    

    Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (Banks/Collins/Rutherford, main lyricist Collins)

    
    I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey, but it's alright
    Like a load on your back that you can't see, ooh but it's alright
    Try to shake it loose, cut it free, just let it go, get it away from me.
    
    Cos tonight, tonight, tonight - oh, I'm gonna make it right
    Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.
    
    I'm going down, going down, like a monkey, ooh but it's alright
    Try to pick yourself up, carry that weight that you can't see,
    Don't you know it's alright
    It's like a helter skelter, going down and down, round and round
    But just get it away from me - oh.
    
    Because tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
    We're gonna make it right
    Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.
    
    I got some money in my pocket, about ready to burn
    I don't remember where I got it, I gotta get it to you
    So please answer the phone, cos I keep calling, but you're never home
    What am I gonna do
    Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
    I'm gonna make it right
    Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.
    
    You keep telling me I've got everything, you say I've got everything I
    want
    You keep telling me you're gonna help me, you're gonna help me, but you
    don't
    But now I'm in too deep
    You see it's got me so that I just can't sleep
    Oh get me out of here, please get me out of here
    Just help me I'll do anything, anything
    If you'll just help me get out of here.
    
    I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey, ooh but it's alright
    It's like a load on your back that you can't see,
    Ooh don't you know that it's alright
    Just try to shake it loose, cut it free, let it go
    But just get it away from me
    Cos tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
    Maybe we'll make it right
    Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.

    Land Of Confusion (Banks/Collins/Rutherford, main lyricist Rutherford)

    
    I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
    Been haunted by a million screams
    But I can hear the marching feet
    They're moving into the street.
    
    Now did you read the news today
    They say the danger's gone away
    But I can see the fire's still alight
    There burning into the night.
    
    There's too many men
    Too many people
    Making too many problems
    And not much love to go round
    Can't you see
    This is a land of confusion.
    
    This is the world we live in
    And these are the hands we're given
    Use them and let's start trying
    To make it a place worth living in.
    
    Ooh Superman where are you now
    When everything's gone wrong somehow
    The men of steel, the men of power
    Are losing control by the hour.
    
    This is the time
    This is the place
    So we look for the future
    But there's not much love to go round
    Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.
    
    This is the world we live in
    And these are the hands we're given
    Use them and let's start trying
    To make it a place worth living in.
    
    I remember long ago -
    Ooh when the sun was shining
    Yes and the stars were bright
    All through the night
    And the sound of your laughter
    As I held you tight
    So long ago -
    
    I won't be coming home tonight
    My generation will put it right
    We're not just making promises
    That we know, we'll never keep.
    
    Too many men
    There's too many people
    Making too many problems
    And not much love to go round
    Can't you see
    This is a land of confusion.
    
    Now this is the world we live in
    And these are the hands we're given
    Use them and let's start trying
    To make it a place worth fighting for.
    
    This is the world we live in
    And these are the names we're given
    Stand up and let's start showing
    Just where our lives are going to.
    
    

    In Too Deep (Banks/Collins/Rutherford, main lyricist Collins)

    
    All that time I was searching, nowhere to run to, it started me
    thinking,
    Wondering what I could make of my life, and who'd be waiting,
    Asking all kinds of questions, to myself, but never finding the answers,
    Crying at the top of my voice, and no one listening,
    All this time, I still remember everything you said
    There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget.
    
    Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this,
    You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,
    Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,
    You know I want to, but I'm in too deep.
    
    So listen, listen to me,
    Ooh you must believe me,
    I can feel your eyes go thru me,
    But I don't know why.
    
    Ooh I know you're going, but I can't believe
    It's the way that you're leaving,
    It's like we never knew each other at all, it may be my fault,
    I gave you too many reasons, being alone, when I didn't want to
    I thought you'd always be there, I almost believed you,
    All this time, I still remember everything you said, oh
    There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget.
    
    Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this,
    You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,
    Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,
    You know I want to, but I'm in too deep.
    
    So listen, listen to me,
    I can feel your eyes go thru me
    
    It seems I've spent too long
    Only thinking about myself - oh
    Now I want to spend my life
    Just caring bout somebody else.
    
    Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this,
    You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,
    Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,
    You know I want to, but I'm in too deep.
    
    You know I love you, but I just can't take this,
    You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,
    Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,
    You know I want to, but I'm in too deep...
    
    

    Anything She Does (Banks/Collins/Rutherford, main lyricist Banks)

    
    You know,
    You decorate the garage walls,
    Hang in people's halls,
    Live in secret drawers,
    If you could look around you,
    Wonder what you'd see.
    
    Fiction.
    That's all you really are I know,
    Editorial dreams.
    They can't make you real,
    Tell me where you came from,
    And where you're going to.
    
    I won't ever, no I'll never get to know her,
    Or be the cause of anything she does.
    I won't ever, no I'll never get to hold her.
    Do you think this aching could be love?
    
    Oh you know,
    You've figured in some fantasies.
    You would not believe,
    What you've had to do,
    Life goes on around you and all because of you.
    
    No I won't ever, no I'll never get to know her,
    Or be the cause of anything she does.
    I won't ever, no I'll never get to hold her.
    Do you think this aching could be love?
    
    I won't ever, no I'll never get to know her,
    Or be the cause of anything she does.
    I won't ever, no I'll never get to hold her.
    Do you think this aching could be love?
    
    You know,
    That in twenty years or more,
    You'll still look the same
    As you do today.
    You'll still be a young girl,
    When I'm old and grey.
    
    No - I won't ever, no I'll never get to know her,
    Or be the cause of anything she does.
    I won't ever, no I'll never get to hold her.
    Do you think this aching could be love?
    
    I won't ever, no I'll never get to know her,
    Or be the cause of anything she does.
    I won't ever, no I'll never get to hold her.
    Do you think this aching could be love? (no you'll never...)
    
    

    Domino (Banks/Collins/Rutherford, main lyricist Banks)

    In The Glow Of The Night

    
    The grey of evening fills the room,
    There's no need to look outside,
    To see or feel the rain.
    Then I reach across to touch her,
    But I know that she's not there.
    Rain keeps running down the window pane.
    Time is running out for me.
    
    Can't you see what you are doing to me?
    Can't you see what you have done?
    As I try to pass another long and sleepless night,
    A hundred crazy voices call my name,
    As I try to pass them by,
    I almost can believe that she is here,
    Here in the glow of the night.
    
    Do you know what you have done?
    Do you know what you've begun?
    Do you see we shall never be together again?
    All of my life.
    
    Lonely people, empty rooms,
    Pointless violence, silent tombs.
    Could it be that we shall be together again?
    
    Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night,
    Only foreign city sirens can cut through,
    Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the cold.
    But they can't keep out the chilling sounds.
    Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming
    That she is here with me?
    Here in the glow of the night.
    
    Do you know what you have done?
    Do you know what you've begun?
    Do you see we shall never be together again?
    All of my life.
    
    Lonely people, empty rooms,
    Pointless violence, silent tombs.
    Could it be that we shall be together again?
    Could it be that we shall be together again?
    
    In silence and darkness
    We held each other near that night
    We prayed it would last forever.
    
    
    The Last Domino
    
    Blood on the windows
    Millions of ordinary people are there
    They gaze at the scenery
    They act as if it is perfectly clear
    Take a look at the mountains
    Take a look at the beautiful river of blood.
    
    The liquid surrounds me
    I fight to rise from this river of hell
    I stare round about me
    Children are swimming and playing with boats
    Their features are changing
    Their bodies dissolve and I am alone.
    
    Now see what you've gone and done.
    Now see what you've gone and done.
    
    Well now you never did see such a terrible thing
    As was seen last night on T.V.
    Maybe if we're lucky, they will show it again
    Such a terrible thing to see - oh
    But there's nothing you can do when you're next in line
    You've got to go domino.
    
    Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine
    I know just what I gotta do
    Play the game of happiness and never let on
    That it only lives on in a song - oh
    Well there's nothing you can do when you're next in line
    You've got to go domino.
    
    Do you know what you have done?
    Do you know what you've begun?
    
    In silence and darkness
    Hold each other near tonight
    For will it last forever?
    Will it last forever - forever...
    
    There's nothing you can do when you're the next in line
    You've got to go domino.
    
    Do you know, do you know, do you know what you have done
    Do you see what you've begun?
    Cos there's nothing, nothing, nothing
    There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do
    Do you see, do you see what you have done?
    
    

    Throwing It All Away (Banks/Collins/Rutherford, main lyricist Rutherford)

    
    Need I say I love you
    Need I say I care
    Need I say that emotion's,
    Something we don't share
    I don't want to be sitting here
    Trying to deceive you
    Cos you know I know baby
    That I don't wanna go.
    
    We cannot live together
    We cannot live apart
    That's the situation
    I've known it from the start
    Every time that I look at you
    I can see the future
    Cos you know I know babe
    That I don't wanna go.
    
    Throwing it all away
    Throwing it all away
    Is there nothing that I can say
    To make you change your mind
    I watch the world go round and round
    And see mine turning upside down
    You're throwing it all away.
    
    Now who will light up the darkness
    Who will hold your hand
    Who will find you the answers
    When you don't understand
    Why should I have to be the one
    Who has to convince you
    Cos you know I know baby
    That I don't wanna go.
    
    Someday you'll be sorry
    Someday when you're free
    Memories will remind you
    That our love was meant to be
    Late at night when you call my name
    The only sound you'll hear
    Is the sound of your voice calling
    Calling after me.
    
    Just throwing it all away
    Throwing it all away
    There's nothing I can say
    We're throwing it all away
    Yes we're throwing it all away...
