Portugal  

TimBauhaus in Oporto, Portugal just before the last show of the tour.

These lyrics were updated for the Resurrection tour 1998




Kick in the Eye
And he spoke of pastures green
I was never told why
Each journey lasts an age
And my throat feels dry
It must be the lesson
Hidden deep inside
It must be the lesson
So roll the tide

So I began the crossing
My throat burned dry
Searching for the Sufis
The kick in the eye
I am the end of reproduction
Given no direction
Every care is taken
In my rejection

Kick in the eye
Kick in the eye
Kick in the eye
Kick in the eye

Every care is taken
With my rejection
And my abduction
To my addiction
Every care is taken
With my protection
And my abduction
From my addiction

Kick in the eye
Kick in the eye
Kick in the eye
Kick in the eye


Silent Hedges
Silent Hedges


Following the silent hedges
Needing some other kind of madness
Looking into purple eyes
Sadness at the corners
Works of art with a minimum of steel

Pure sensation
The terrible downgrade
Going to hell again
Going to hell again

Self confidence leaks
From a thousand wounds
Faults of civilization
Burning the private paradise of dreams
Minus hands of the electric clock

Clock
Clock
Clock

Pure sensation
The beautiful downgrade
Going to hell again
Going to hell again

Again
Again
Again




Double Dare
re-write 1998
Doubl ouble Dare Re-write 98

I dare you to be real
To touch a flickering flame
No more pangs
No pangs of dark delight
Don't cower in night fright

Don't back away just yet
From destinations set
I dare you to be found
To dare to shout aloud
For convictions that you feel
Like sound from bells to peal

I dare you to aspire
To break with coarse desire
In a void
In a void
you stare
You've never
You've never dared to dare

I dare you



In the Flat Field
(resurrected 1998)

A gut pull drag on me
Into the chasm gaping we
Mirrors multi-reflecting this
Between spunk stained sheet
And odourous whim
Calmer eye flick shudder within
Assist me to walk away from sin
Where is the string that Theseus laid
Find me out of this labyrinth place

I do get bored
I get bored
In the flat field
I get bored
I do get bored
In the flat field

Yin and Yang Lumber punch
Go taste a tart
Then eat my lunch
And force my slender thin and lean
From this sordid place of fill wetting dreams
Of black matted lace
Of pregnant cows
As life maps out onto my brow
The cards are lowered in index turn
Into my filing cabinet hemispheres spurn

I do get bored
I get bored
In the flat field
I get bored
I do get bored
In the flat field

Let me catch the slit of light
For a maiden's sake in maiden flight
In the flat field I do get bored
Replace those Piccadilly whores
In my yearn for some spiritual fix
Transfer me to that solid plane
Save me from a blazing pain
Moulding shapes no shame to waste
Moulding shapes no shame to waste
And drag me out with deafening haste
