Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark Album

Unde Praha, Cheskoslovenske Zahranichne Rysivanie.

Efficiant, logical, effective, and practical.
Using all resorces to the best of our ability.
Changing, designing, adapting our mentalities.
Improving our abilities for a better way of life.

CHORUS:
Babies. Mother. Hospital. Scissors.
Creature. Judgement. Butcher. Engineer.

These are the little children, the future in our hands.
When all God's children on this Earth inherit all our plans.
These are the lies they tell us. But this is the only way.
When all God's children on the Earth will evermore be saved.

REPEAT CHORUS (2)

These are the little children, the future in our hands.
When all God's children on this Earth inherit all our plans.
These are the lies they tell us. The future's good as sold.
In all the things we do and know, we really must be told.

ABC...
1, 2, 3...

Robotics, a science tried in some factories.
Function and Adaptability, it's own terminology.
Auto industry production, economic development.
Engineering technology. Robotics, a science.

Frankenstein's Monster... (13)

CHORUS:
I've got a telegraph in my hand.
Words on paper, written in sand.

We've got telegraph, right across this land.
It doesn't mean a damn thing.
We don't understand.
But who needs telegraph anyway?

REPEAT CHORUS

We've got telegraph, right across this land.
It doesn't mean a damn thing.
We don't understand, we never understand!

God's got a telegraph nn his side.
It makes Him powerful, gives Him pride.
Even in America, God bless America!
They understand the value of the telegraph.
Hand in hand, hand in hand...

Music for your tape recorder.
I hope you will enjoy it.
Extra, extra...
This is Helena, this is Helena.
Extra, extra...
This is Helena, your M.C. today.

The youth and the Imperialist Tribune was also addressed by a young girl
from Nicaragua whose hands had been cut off at the wrists by the former
Samosa guards.
Veronica Merco, of the German Federal Republic, had this to say:

Aber ich habe eine Ausbildung gemacht
ak Industrie Kaufmann und... ??

I'm a shop assistant at the... ??
and I must say I'm a shop assistant by profession,
but it is difficult for.... ??

Now and then a little thing gets by.
Now and then we'll cry.

Like a fall in a war, like a mother's open arms.
Like a pawn in a game, hard to take.
There we sit on a line, wasting fortunes at a time, and pray.

All the time we are gone, there's no reason, there's no way.
Oh, the soul is the one so they say.
There we sit on a line, wasting fortunes at a time, and play.

She never thought he'd be this way.
Her arms aloft, she holds.
But now it's all a memory.
And it's gone...

[No lyrics]

See these arms that were broken
How they held you so
Never once did they fail you
They won't let you go

We're just waiting looking skyward
As the days come down
Someone promised there'd be answers
If we stayed around

Over decades, now this romance
Has sustained us all
Never questioned only giving
What it made us for

God only knows this isn't heaven.
The promises made, we never keep them.

CHORUS:
We're walking on air, we're taking our time.
But God only knows this isn't reason or rhyme.

I've had this feeling I don't believe in.
It's happened before, I just reject it.

REPEAT CHORUS

These are the feelings, I know their outcome.
It's useless pretending, I'd like to beat them.

REPEAT CHORUS

We're walking on air, we're taking our time, this time.
But God only knows, this isn't reason or rhyme.

We're walking on air...

From the transmitter, to the receiver.
Across the ether, out of your speaker.

CHORUS:
Radio waves have life! Radio waves have life!
Machines are living too, they're working for me and you!

From the transmitter, to the receiver.
Across the ether, out of your speaker.
To the Baltic Fleet and Atlantic Fleet.
Faster than the breeze over stormy seas.

REPEAT CHORUS (2)

Through America to Albania.
Over Reagan's head, under Moscow's bed.
To the Warsaw Pact and the NATO Pact.
Down this cul de sac, never turning back.

REPEAT CHORUS

[No lyrics]

CHORUS:
To want this.
Of everything we've made.
The times it's worked before.

Of all the things we've said.
Times that worked before today.

REPEAT CHORUS

Of all the things we've said.
They've always worked before today.
