@ALBUM: The Garden
By John Foxx

This lyric file includes the lyrics from the bonus tracks on the CD version
of the album

@SONG: Europe After The Rain

It's time to walk again
It's time to make our way through the fountained squares
And the collonades
Your dress is shimmering
Your voice is hiding things
When you say I've hardly changed

In Europe after the rain
When the nights are warm and the summer sways

The stained glass echoing
The blossomed balconies and voices blow
On a shining wind
Your face is shimmering
Your smile is glimmering when I say you've hardly changed

In Europe after the rain
When the nights are warm and the summer sways

In Europe after the rain (Repeat and fade)

@SONG: Systems Of Romance

Systems of romance
Echoes of pleasure
A shiver in the dark when you call my name

Sudden horizons
Open and close between us
Touching me briefly with a healing grace

Patterns of longing
Figures down echo causeways
Across the wild seas we spin away
Time and again

Systems of romance
Systems of romance

Oh meet me and change me
In rooms that go sailing
Voices will name you as you move away

Lakeland in silver
Blazing away behind you
Rapids of cloud I lose my way
Time and again

Endless horizons
Hopes are our empires now
Crossing all codings engaged in the timeless dance

Systems of romance
Systems of romance

@SONG: When I Was A Man And You Were A Woman

When I was a man and you were a woman
We practiced ourselves every day
Every night
A man with no outline
Walking in the shadows
A girl with a blurred face
Leaning in the windows
Living our lives on the tides of this city
Moving me to you
Moving me through you
Moving you to me
Moving you through me

When I was a man and you were a woman
When I was a man and you were a woman

We met in the arcades
Where the people were meeting
We danced down the avenues
While the people were sleeping
Living our lives on the tides of this city
Moving me to you
Moving me through you
Moving you to me
Moving you through me

I was a swimmer in a foggy bar
I was trying to find some sea
I was the sound of the furniture
I was a silhouette for years
She had some blossom on the tip of her tongue
She was the surface of a trade
She was a model for an echo dress
Oh she looked so gold against the grey

When I was a man and you were a woman
When I was a man and you were a woman

@SONG: Dancing Like A Gun

Oh, do you get the smell of burning metal?
Can you feel that heartbeat under the sea?
Well it's just me and Oppenheimer waltzing
With crowded streets in chromakey

And all the glow boys in their lipstick and shadows
And gold leaf on their delicate skins
Well they can filter through your curtains like nerve gas
They leave their laughter on the wind

And we're dancing
Yes we're dancing
We're dancing like a gun

Nothing I can see looks like an exit
So I'm making you into a door
You've been a guaranteed constant companion for so long
I'll almost miss you when I go

And there's silence in your silver passing
And stardust scattered over your breasts
Then I looked around and found
All the faces of the world
As the ballroom floor gets fused to glass

And we're dancing
Yes we're dancing
We're dancing like a gun

We'll walk in the silent places
In the wake of the storms
Swim through our own cathedral
Trailing the dawn
Dresses of light and ashes
Proud in display
Lovers and enemies
All waltzing in the waves

Oh we're dancing
Yes we're dancing
We're dancing like a gun

@SONG: Night Suit

Refrain:

In the night suit, night suit
In the night suit, night suit
In the night suit, night suit

Well look at me now
The glass falls down cracking, I'm so proud
Every pulse gets so loud when I step out with nothing like
My old way of walking

Chorus:

In the night suit, night suit
In the night suit, night suit
In the night suit, night suit
All singing, all dancing
Transaction transatlantic
Be someone
Be no-one
Please receive me, don't stop sending

The suit makes you move in ways you suspected
The fabric is made of stances collected
The cut makes you shimmer, it alters your features
You click into focus, it's strict as a teacher
Mobile and fluid, a magnet of glances
Contorted, conductive
Meshed into the dance

(Chorus)

(Refrain)

Oh teach me to move, oh just teach me to move
I'll be fast, I'll be pleasure, be joy, I'll be jaywalk
Be glitter and flicker, a firefly, a swagger
Tricky and vivid, I'll split light to spectrums
Revolving, reflecting in every direction

In the night

@SONG: You Were There

You were there
When I was looking through
Your pictures in the night

You were there
When I fell asleep and I
Woke up in the light

And when the streets filled
And my heart stilled
And I asked someone the time

Chorus:

You were there
You were there
You were there
I know you were

And you were there
When I stopped to stare
By the quiet trees

And you were there
And I thought that you were
Someone else I'd seen

And when the traffic roared
And my heart soared
So that I could hardly breathe

(Chorus)

Oh you were there
When I stood and watched
From so many years ago

You must have smiled
When I was walking through
The places that you'd known

And when I'd given up
And all the letters stopped
And no trace at all remained

(Chorus)

@SONG: Fusion/Fission

I open my eyes
I'm lost for a moment
Wonder of leaving
Light on your face

I'm glancing below us
Rhythm and dreaming
Bright and bewildered
Walk in with the new day

Fusion/Fission
Fusion/Fission

I open my heart
I'm lost for a moment
Vanish with someone
Turning to say:
"Oh these are the days now
When seasons will change us."
I feel you unfolding
So glad in this blaze

Fusion/Fission
Fusion/Fission

@SONG: Walk Away

When I walk away I notice
That the streets won't stay in focus
And then when I turn my head
I'm listening
As the pictures slowly shifting
Back again
When I walk away
When I walk away
I walk away
Walk away
Walk away

In the special room
And someone almost there
And now the rain is gone
And the air is clear
In the waking warm
And on the shimmer shore
And on the gilded falls
Just like the time before
And things get so displaced
When I walk away
When I walk away
I walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Oh, walk away
Walk away
Walk away

Oh in the dawn adrift
And through the howling dark
With such a tender step
With such a crowded heart
And I'll be someone else
I'll be the passing man
I'll be the voice in sleep
I'll be the waving hand
But something always stays
When I walk away
When I walk away
I walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Oh, walk away
Walk away
Walk away

@SONG: The Garden

We've been sleeping in the garden
Breath of summer, breath of gold
As we turn against the sweep of hills
The sky's aglow
We fade away
We fade away

She burns away in light and silver
Luminous through all these years
Every gesture filled with longings
I still feel
We fade away
We fade away
We fade away
We fade away

I see you standing in the long light
Dress discarded, windows glow
All across the wild horizons
The sunset goes
We fade away
We fade away
We fade away
We fade away

@SONG: Young Man

Always the young man
Walks all alone every summer's (???)
Dancing to the beat of another drum
That's how the young girl (???)
And that's how the young man finds it

Always a heart beat
Following down every city street
And every time someone else is looking sweet
(???)
And the young man feeling haunted

Remember the first time
When everything feels right
Walking alone towards me

Always the young man
Always see a shape in the summer rain
Always see a flicker on a window pane
And the young man (???)
And the young girl knows it

Shoop-shoop
Ooh la la la
Shoop-shoop
Ooh la la la
Shoop-shoop
Ooh la la la
Ooh yeah

Always the young man
Always the young man
Always the young man
Always the young man

@SONG: Dance With Me

Outside
It's so warm
And the rain is on my face
Inside
I feel
A part of me slips away

So dance with me
Dance with me
Oh dance with me all my life
Oh we'll go waltzing through the crowd
While all the skies go tumbling down
Oh we'll be magic in the night
Leave all the people spinning by

Inside
I feel all my shadows
Move away
By the light
Of the fire
Part of you seems to change

So dance with me
Dance with me
Oh dance with me all my life
Dance with me
Oh dance with me
Dance with me all my life

@SONG: A Woman On A Stairway

Oh pull me up slowly
I've been running just too far again
I can never see the places where she stands
They're always lost in some kind of rain
Oh turn around in the new pool
The colour rose, you learn the danger zones
Move all your life to the fiction of the pictures
And let regrets form a silhouette

A woman on a stairway
Dreaming and cool through all the storm of day

Oh I step in here sometimes
When I've been brushing off too many things
And all the rhythms of your manner and your voice
Gently focus and reflect everything I neglect

A woman on a stairway
Twisting the light, rolling the time away

(???)
I've been walking through too many rooms
And all the spirals in the heart and the hands
Always lead to places better left as a silhouette

A woman on a stairway
Dreaming and cool through all the storm of day
A woman on a stairway
Beautiful light, rolling the veils away

@SONG: The Lifting Sky

Turn my head to the sunset
Fall away for a while
And someone at my right hand
Someone at my right hand
Says "Can you believe this time?"
And I turn my face to the lifting sky

Chorus:

The lifting skies
The drifting skies
The lifting skies
The shifting skies

And no-one will walk away this time
And no-one will be forgetten
No, no-one will walk away this time
No-one will be forgotten
No-one will be forgotten

Turn my face to the river
I feel my voice fall (???)
And someone at my left hand
Someone at my left hand
Leans with her arm against mine
And I turn my face
And I turn my face
And I turn my face to the lifting sky

(Chorus)

@SONG: Annexe

Once I was walking alone with a friend
And as we spoke I felt the room begin to fade
And as I looked into another face I thought I knew
I realised some other smile was shining through

Chorus:

Another time
Another place
Another face seems to snap into your place
Another time
Another place
Another time

Don't try to talk right now
Just hold me where we stand
You know I need so much to give some time to you
But often when I try I find that other world behind
Another time
Another place

Once I was walking alone with a friend
And as she spoke I saw the room begin to fade
I turned around to find another lover walking by me
Though she wore her hair a slightly different way

(Chorus)

Another place
Another time
Another place

Once I was walking alone with a friend

@SONG: Wings And A Wind

Fires
Only on the horizon
Waking
From sailing through my sleep
Turning the messages round
I was turning the messages round
And I found
Clothes and a freeway
Tickets for one day
Clues to an ocean
Rages in silence we've never suspected
We've never suspected

Chorus:

Oh look at the wonderful view
Wings and a wind and your touch by my side
Wings and a wind and your touch by my side

Weathers are bridges
Songs over oceans
Movements in silence we never suspected
Time and meander
Snap at the tension
Open my hands and the light still here inside
For always I've wanted
For always still looking
For always we'll always leave this way

We'll always leave this way
We'll always leave this way
We'll always leave this way

(Chorus)

Your touch
Your touch by my side
Your touch by my side

Shuffling of the kids in the long line
Invisible families locked out at midnight
Turning the messages round
I was turning the messages round

(Chorus)

Wings and a wind and your touch by my side
Wings and a wind and your touch by my side
Your touch by my side
Oh look at the view
The wonderful view
Oh look at the view
The wonderful view
Oh look at the view
The wonderful view
Oh look at the view
The wonderful view
Oh look at the view
The wonderful view
Oh look at the view
The wonderful view

Shuffling of the kids in the long line
The invisible families locked out at midnight
Turning the message round
I was turning the message round

Weathers are bridges
Songs over oceans
Movements in silence we never suspected
