Heaven 17 - Five Minutes To Midnight Lyrics






Break or be broken
A sensitive target
A thirty day boy in
A twenty day city

Nothing is easy
You know their methods
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Just for a moment
That beats creation
Waiting for the flash to come

A large map of nowhere
A statue of paper
Nothing can stop them
They're all white and spiteful

It's not important

Use any language
Before it gets too late

Call for a doctor

For hours and hours
They built us a tower
You know how men are
We fell to the power
Stay with the money
'Til five to midnight's past

Twenty years later
There's someone to see you
Your prayers are answered
He's saying something

Do you know something?

I don't remember

Hot as a furnace
Wing to wing contact

This happy solution
Wouldn't it rock you?
The choice of a weapon
The first and the last word
Waiting for the flash to come

It's not important
Use any language
Before it gets too late
Call for a doctor
Waiting for the heat to come

You know how men are
How men are, how men are

Do you know something?
I don't remember

Hot as a furnace
Wing to wing contact

    The full album was uploaded and was removed. Funny how other albums weren't taken down. Sucks, my cassette is dead!

    With reference to the doomsday clock,which hangs in a university in chicago.

    Fairlight CMI system, state of the art in 1983. Hard to replicate the act on the road back then, but now they can run it off a couple of laptops! Critics slammed this record because all they wanted to hear was electric guitars. But I loved it back then, and I still do. "Pleasure One" was where the band took a nosedive.

    S.... ....

    pleasure one ,..its not crap but its not amazing either...ive only got the album on vinyl so cant play it in car...it has a good feel to it...but not a patch on P & P , and luxury gap

    S.... ....

    this album had a good jazzy feel and it still had the edgyness of P & P ...but the albums after pleasure one were bit naff and soft

  9. S.... M....

    Yes, computerized - they used a Fairlight to program their music, and used it extremely well!
