Lyrics:

  FEAR OF GIRLS (Garratt/Harper)

My head is full of contradictions
I can’t understand why
I give all the young girls the come on
To let ‘em down and make ‘em cry

I got a fear of girls
I got a fear of girls
I got a fear
I got a fear of girls

Do you wanna come home to see a movie?
Do you wanna come home for a little while?
I’ll give you anything you wanted
I got something gonna make you smile

I got a fear of girls
I got a fear of girls
I got a fear
I got a fear of girls

She comes into my room
Like a thousand times before
But I just stand there shaking
I’m pinned down on the floor

I see a girl young and pretty
That kind of girl can take my heart
All she has to do is touch me
That’s when I fall apart

I got a fear of girls
I got a fear of girls
I got a fear
I got a fear of girls


  :- 8 x 5 (Garratt/Harper)

She sits by the window
I sit by the aisle
The hostess pours the drinks
With a practised smile
We talk about sunshine
As we touch down
Now we are the foreigners
And you’re not around

Divide by eight multiply by five
Divide by eight multiply by five

Countin kilometers
Trying to translate
Is this what I wanted?
This twist of Fate
Watching people take pictures
With expensive cameras
Through dirty windows
Of foreign cars

Divide by eight multiply by five
Divide by eight multiply by five

Playing with a calculator
I’m counting the cost
I feel so cheated
At every border cross
I’ll send you a postcard
I wish you were here
You think that I’m joking
I’ve never been more sincere


  I ROBOT (Harper)

Got a silicone brain
On a metal frame
Aint got no name
And every last one looks the same

He’s got X-ray eyes
Won’t tell no lies
He never cries
He don’t live and he won’t die

He wants your blue planet for his base
He thinks he is the future of a super human race

But he’s got no heart
To tear apart
Aint got no veins
Just the mind of a billion brains

He’s the brave new world
For the boys and girls
Gonna make you rich

Make you jump and make you twitch
This is the new ice age
This is the new ice age
