I never thought I'd get to leaving
Then they moved me out of town
Gave me something to believe in
Now I've turned my life around
CHORUS:
Waiting at the gates
I had to settle down
Industrial Estates
On the edge of town
Never had a better reason
Never had a better plan
I seen big men hangin' out in threesomes
Big men driving round in vans
CHORUS
Never thought I'd get to leaving
Then they moved me out of town
Now I'm crazy at the weekends
I'm crazy when I have the time
CHORUS

Beachcomber - wandering through sand and shingle
A southern wind
Blowing in from the ocean
Overcast, where the land meets the sea
Beachcomber
Sifting through the finer fragments
Still you take what you can,
well I just want to tell you
CHORUS(x2)
One day we made
A promise, just to break it
So don't you say
It got complicated
Beachcomber
Wandering through sand and shingle
Vagabond, the only way to pass the time
The broken sound
Of voices drowning in the white noise
Here I am, take my hand
Pull me from the wreckage
CHORUS repeat
Now you're on your own

The Feline Dream hidden in our eyes,
it now seems right to be realised.
No baby talk with the balls of wool,
it's time to show just who is the fool.
CHORUS: You have - one life - with this one life you have -
trapped us - strapped us - Now it's time for you to die!
Oh pretty pussies, are you ready to kill?
We'll catch them bending when they're pouring the milk.
A claw in the eye is worth two in the hand.
Our fire will burn throughout the land.
CHORUS repeat
Bow Down to Your Leader! Yes, we have won!
A New World Order should be fun.
Swear I'm no fascist and I'm not deranged
This is your promised messiah and she's ringing the change

v.1
People speeding by they leave me stranded
At a standstill in the rain
I just sit and count the minutes passing
But for me there's no loss and no gain
v.2
Push and drive, so many ways to play now
Feel the rush against my skin
Maybe I will sit and watch the others
Cars that sigh down doppler wind
Squeeze the blood from the stone
You have to get there on your own
and there is no-one over the horizon
Squeeze the blood from the stone
You'll never make it on your own
Dream until they find you with the cursor
But you know your game is done

I'll meet you at the station
Platform number four
There's nothing here to keep me anymore
I started feeling crazy
So many years ago
(Back in 1984?)
Ever since I let my baby go
Speeding through the tunnels
Changing at Cologne
Leave behind the safety of my home
But it's you and me together
You and me alone
The two of us forever on the run
(Florian... Magalie...)
Florian and Magalie
I don't know what's wrong with me
Florian and Magalie
Do they know what's wrong with me?
Wrong with me.
Florian and Magalie

Hi! - I'm a fool, a defector, I'm a sinking boat.
My eyes frighten children, stare madly from my hooded coat
Another day, a week, another year.
I can't control my ever growing fears
Can't keep in contact with the outside world.
It seems society would rather see our hero dead
I do not know the words He's a people without pets
That people feed each other With no need for silly vets
I'm frightened of the telephone Can't you see his mind is sick?
I tend to stutter He's a bloody lunatic
Circle, give me comfort from the vicious square.
Guide me, take me out into the open air
I cast aside responsibility.
So independent but I don't feel free
Human emotions don't apply to me.
Wish I could laugh some love or spit some hate with honesty
I cannot care about myself He's a people without pets
or any being With no need for silly vets
I need to learn the rudiments Can't you see his mind is sick?
of social living He's a bloody lunatic
So, I get up, and I go to the window,
and I catch sight of something soft and warm on the grass below.
Somebody comes to retrieve the cat and it strikes me that,
she's had a lifetime of practice with furballs...
I feel so happy now the answer's clear.
I've gone untouched by softness all these years
My fingers itching now we're on the street.
To touch the beards and hats and coats and cats of those I meet

Early morning
make your way home
Cross the motorway
glowing alone
Rays like crystal shine down
from above
Bathed in orange
November sun

The Feline Dream Castlewellan, UK
The Feline Dream were a collaboration between David 'Deakie' Davis and Nicholas 'Mermaid' Carlisle, a pair of gingers from
County Down.
The band met a wretched demise in December 2003, however due to the invention of the phonograph by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville on 25th March 1857, their music can still be enjoyed today.
