Hi Nic! I've been working on these a bit too.... I think our lyrics pretty much agree, though there are a few differences here and there. :) Here's my submission...
Get On
- ------
I want you to realize
Do you know you make me rise
Make me talk into the sky
Look at you, get mystified
I want you to exercise
You should know you hypnotize
Pictures, mirrors all around
Passion, love lost and found
Get on, get on, get on, get on, take me
Get on, get on, get on
Get on, get on, get on, get on, right now
Get on, get on, get on
I want you to exercise
You should know you hypnotize
Pictures, mirrors all around
Passion, love lost and found
Get on, get on, get on, get on, take me
Get on, get on, get on
Get on, get on, get on, get on, right now
Get on, get on, get on...
I want you to realize
Do you know you make me rise
Make me talk into the sky
Look at you, get mystified
Get on, get on, get on, get on, take me
Get on, get on, get on
Get on, get on, get on, get on, right now
Get on, get on, get on
I want you to exercise
You should know you hypnotize
Pictures, mirrors all around
Passion, love lost and found
Houdini
- -------
I didn't know reality
I couldn't tell what I could see
The speed of time is shakin' me
Rise (?), afraid to blow my mind, illusion (and lose you?)
I didn't know reality
I couldn't tell what i could see
The speed of time is shakin' me
Rise (?), afraid to blow my mind, illusion (and lose you?)
Don't you ever leave my mind
Streets of fighting come and go
I'm running and I'm feeling low
I'm walking like the living dead
A burning heart just drives me mad, where are you?
I didn't know reality
I couldn't tell what I could see
The speed of time is shakin' me
Rise (?), afraid to blow my mind, illusion (and lose you?)
Prisoner of His Mind
- --------------------
The fugitive is fighting the invisible jail
Can he ever make it, or is he going to fail?
Babylon is waiting for the prisoner of his mind
Babylon is everywhere and running out of time
Trying, trying, too weak anymore
Trying, trying, in Babylon
Babylon is everywhere and like a sticky tape
The flies are flying to the light and trying to escape
The years are eating up his time, a prisoner of his mind
He is alone in Babylon with millions of his kind
Trying, trying, too weak anymore
Trying, trying, in Babylon
The fugitive is fighting the invisible jail
Can he ever make it, or is he going to fail?
Babylon is waiting for the prisoner of his mind
Babylon is everywhere and running out of time
Trying, trying, too weak anymore
Trying, trying, in Babylon
Babylon is everywhere and like a sticky tape
The flies are flying to the light and trying to escape
The years are eating up his time, a prisoner of his mind
He is alone in Babylon with millions of his kind
Time Freeze
- -----------
You know the kind of feeling
It hurts and there's no pain
Time is crawling slow
Pumping through my brain
You know the kind of feeling
You need a ????
Time is almost freezing
Time is standing still
I wanna see you one more time, time for a fool
I wanna see you one more night, night don't be cruel
I'm rather scared to see you
Even one more time
I know it's time for leaving
'Cause I'm afraid of love
You know the kind of feeling
You're not getting where you want
Time to be running
But I've nowhere to go
I wanna see you one more time, time for a fool
I wanna see you one more night, night don't be cruel...
Liquid Lies
- -----------
He is every single step a man around town
Sure of himself to win the triple crown
He's overrehearsed his irresponsible smile
This guy is a lie, he never knew why
Why why why, he never knew why
Why why why, it's gotta be lies
He's overrehearsed his irresponsible smile
This guy is a lie, he never knew why
In his mind love is stress
He believes more is less
Why why why, he never knew why
Why why why, it's gotta be lies
Squeeze Please
- --------------
Sometimes I get into deep trouble
Illusion bursting like a big bang bubble
Qqueeze please, knocking about
Nonsense, that's the way out
Squeeze please!
I'll never ever talk about the bing bom bang (?)
Can't you understand, it's just ????
the big bang bee(?), what do you mean
the big bang bay(?), what do you say
Squeeze please!
etc...
Shake and Shiver
- ----------------
Gimme now, give me five
Gimme your love, give me overdrive
Gonna lose my mind, you spin me around
You gotta give me your love, let me shake the ground
I pursued the case for treatment
Shake... Shake and shiver
Bubbling Under
- --------------
?????
I'm gonna tell you in three (?)
You gonna give me the direction
Gonna give you the affection

Hi all.
One correction to the lyrics lists that have been posted:

...
> I pursued the case for treatment
I'm certain that this is "I'm a suitcase for treatment", IMHO a
brilliant line :).

Surely 'I'm a suitable case for treatment'?

I certainly can't hear any 'able' syllable: my interpretation is that
it's a semantic pun on 'headcase', 'case for treatment' and
'suit'==management type or City financier.

Subject: (yello) Motion Picture
Greetings folks,
Last week I finally bought the Yello's new album! No doubt this fall was a
good time because there were new releases by three of my favorite artists:
Motion Picture by Yello, Night Life by Pet Shop Boys, and Quiet Revolution
by Chris De Burgh, and also "Anthology" a new compilation by Oingo Boingo.
Naturally I will only comment on Yello's Motion Picture, because after all
this is the Yello mailing list. Well, very briefly let me express that I'm
quite satisfied with this new album. It is done in the classic Yello style
with a sound similar to the 80's albums, and I really dig the 80's stuff:)
Regards,
/Farshid
