Like Heaven? 05:08
Where is a place that doesn't keep you locked in, or disables you to be free Where is a place where no one looks down on you, or prejudges you irrationally I need a place to be loved, a place where I can truly feel loved Is there somewhere that I can live forever, where I would find absolute sufficiency There'd be no pressure from daily routine that would cause harmful reaction to me I've got to leave this place, for I've already lost the race I will find a place of my own where I can feel right at home and there'll be no laws etched in stone and I'll be happy It would be just like heaven I could find myself free from harm and I could hold you in my arms forever always would I feel calm and happy. Would it be just like heaven Will you listen to my plea for a better world, no longer will I suffer so horribly My need to escape is stronger than my need to live, I cannot be pained so endlessly If no one will understand, I'll take my life into my own hands It's only then that I can be assured of peace, love and harmony Because I've tried to make it work for myself, only to fail tremendously I've lost the will to survive, because it hurts too much to be alive I will find a place of my own where I can feel right at home and there'll be no laws etched in stone and I'll be happy It would be just like heaven I could find myself free from harm and I could hold you in my arms forever always would I feel calm and happy Would it be just like heaven

Sadness 04:07
There is a feeling I have within It's similar to the aftertaste of sin With the exception that I have no control over its intrusion of my soul After it enters I like to lie under the covers should I happen to die Of course it's fiction, but I don't really know what do I do once I have to let go It's an illusion to myself and everyone Why, I don't know Just let me wallow in my fun Sadness I've made the choice to walk away From the brightness of the day I turn to night time to sink deep in my gloom All I can foresee is misery and doom I hope it's better in the afterlife But I'm content right now, counting all my strifes If this ever ends, I'll never understand why I ever wanted to live life as I planned It's an illusion to myself and everyone Why, I don't know Just let me wallow in my fun Sadness It's an illusion to myself and everyone Why, I don't know Just let me wallow in my fun Sadness

Power Trip 03:58
Do you speak the language The language of machines When you get to be as big as you are Nothing's ever like it seems There are ways to step above it But I don't know for sure Once you grab on to authority You're left wanting more and more You’ve changed before my eyes How can you be so mean What a dramatic difference Nothing like I've ever seen Do you feel like you're on top of the world With your throne embellished with gold What did I do to deserve this treatment How come I don't fit your mold Just who the hell do you think you are It's my self-respect you have no respect for Are you gonna try to hunt me down If I try to walk out the door You've changed before my eyes How can you be so mean What a dramatic difference Nothing like I've ever seen Just who the hell do you think you are You keep trying to run me into the ground But let me run something by you What goes around comes around You’ve changed before my eyes How can you be so mean What a dramatic difference Nothing like I've ever seen Ever seen

Frustration 03:45
Today I realized that nothing's ever gone my way I always speak my mind but no one hears what I say I might as well bite my tongue cos my words are falling on deaf ears But I can't help the way I feel, it's the reason for my tears Frustration leaves me trembling, trembling Temptation makes me want to shout out to the world How can I make sense of this when there's no sense in comprehending There's no reason to go on based on the vibes that life's been sending I'd give up everything if it meant that I could get a break But since I'm void in luck, it would probably end up being my last mistake Frustration leaves me trembling, trembling Temptation makes me want to shout out to the world This has got to go away This has got to go away Frustration leaves me trembling, trembling Temptation makes me want to shout out to the world
5.
I remember times when we were well When it wasn't hell You did your best to make me feel Like we had something real Now you insist on causing pain You bring it down like rain I did not think you could be this cruel It seems I was the fool Take away, all this hurt It makes me cry tears of blue Words you say, I feel like dirt I want to cry tears of blue This neverending mystery Of why you're mean to me Has come to rear its ugly head I might as well be dead I pray that some finality Will come eventually Until then I'll try to forget The very day we met Take away all this hurt It makes me cry tears of blue Words you say, I feel like dirt I want to cry tears of blue Take away all this hurt It makes me cry tears of blue Take away, all this hurt It makes me cry tears of blue Words you say, I feel like dirt I want to cry tears of blue
6.
They want us to give up They want us to surrender They want us to wave the white flag But will we, we say never We're gonna break down, but we're not gonna cry We'll find a way now, 'cos we don't wanna die We're taking over, we're gonna give it a try We'll win this hands down, and then we'll hail to the sky We look towards new days ahead We look towards victory We will start a new future We will end this tyranny We're gonna break down, but we're not gonna cry We'll find a way now, 'cos we don't wanna die We're taking over, we're gonna give it a try We'll win this hands down, and then we'll hail to the sky
7.
Plenty 03:40
Why do you keep doing this to me I've had enough of your schemes But you won't ever give it up 'cause it's all part of your dreams Have you had plenty yet Oh no Have you had plenty yet Oh no I'm just a servant to your torture and you border masochist I'm drowning in my own sweat I don't know what will happen next Have you had plenty yet Oh no Have you had plenty yet Oh no I'm fighting just to stay alive but the odds are strictly against me You're having way too much fun and you don't realize the consequences Help me Help me Have you had plenty yet Oh no
8.
Cruel World 03:31
You like to hurt me, and you know you're killing me I'm sick of your insensitivity I can't forget your actions, I can't forget the past If I stayed with you any longer, I don't think I could last Is this reality or is this a made-up story All I know is that you're living in a cruel world I gotta get away from what you're doing to me I just can't live in your cruel world I don't remember anything you've done for me I've had to live in constant misery I've had to deal with your emotion-playing games Is it torture or a test of love Either way, it's all the same Is this reality or is this a made-up story All I know is that you're living in a cruel world I gotta get away from what you're doing to me I just can't live in your cruel world You just can't see the truth In your actions One day you'll find the truth in your actions Is this reality or is this a made-up story All I know is that you're living in a cruel world I gotta get away from what you're doing to me I just can't live in your cruel world

Sonic Tronic 04:23

Anything 04:17
Ask and you shall receive Oh, that's not always true What must I do to get to you I think I've got your number, but I just can't get through I would give anything to know what's on your mind I would give anything to know how you feel inside Don't run away into your shell That doesn't make for a solution What's troubling you, what's wracking your brain I want to find the cure for your pain I've heard it said that you love me Now I don't want to wait and see I would give anything to know what's on your mind I would give anything to know how you feel inside Anything, anything Anything, anything Anything
11.
Evil Girl 03:50
Don't walk away from me You know what you have done You made me feel a fool In front of everyone Hold your head up Don't pretend that I'm not there You've got a black heart You're such an evil girl You've got to pay the price You evil girl It's a nightmarish spot For you to put me in You really embody have to be The epitome of sin What a shame though You were once my perfect dream You've got a black heart You're such an evil girl You've got to pay the price You evil girl
12.
The sudden doom And the constant gloom But what's the difference The everlasting lull Looks and feels as though It's any other day As you're shaking with fright Struggling and trembling all through the night Trying to get away But I doubt That you'll get out The vibrations I receive Just can't be deceived Although we're in pain There's nothing to change We just have to live And try to forgive And try to forgive
13.
Standing in the crowd I see you from a distance You're always looking away So you can play "Miss Innocent" I can't get your attention You're playing games with someone else And I'm getting frustrated I really can't do anything else I'm trying to touch you But you're always just out of reach What can I do To make you see what I want you to see What can I do To make you fall in love with me You can blame me for inexperience But I guess that's my cross to bear You're amidst a sea of thieves Who are trying to take you for their own And I'm still at shore Waiting for you to swim back home When will you see through the darkness And find me at the end of the light beam Then you can discover me And help me live my wildest dreams I'm trying to touch you But you're always just out of reach What can I do To make you see what I want you to see What can I do To make you fall in love with me You can blame me for inexperience But I guess that's my cross to bear
14.
Inevitable 02:52
The sun will burst Oceans will dry The world will end I'm gonna die I need some sleep Turn out the light I think it's time To say goodnight It's so inevitable I'll fall in love I'll own a car I'll work so hard I'll travel far What's there to look for Around the bend We know it all Except when it ends It's so inevitable The sun will burst Oceans will dry The world will end I'm gonna die I need some sleep Turn out the light I think it's time To say goodnight It's so inevitable
15.
Universal 03:06
There is something that we know It's in our hearts for us to show It will never go away It is truly here to stay Love is universal And it's all we can do Love is universal And it shows our whole lives through It just makes you feel so good Like we always knew it would Yet they test it continuously To where we constantly disagree, but... Love is universal And it's all we can do Love is universal And it shows our whole lives through In a world of hate and war We need something much, much more It's the one constant thing It's the feeling that makes us sing... Love is universal And it's all we can do Love is universal And it shows our whole lives through Love is universal and it's all we can do Love is universal and it's all that we can do Love is universal Love is universal
16.
Like Today 04:47
Under the streetlights, in the dark Those moments never seem to far Shrouded by the night and filled with pain rying secretly, crying your name You always hated me all the time Because you thought that the choice was mine I only wanted to get away To some place or time just like today Now I'm here in your world trying hard to catch your eye You said I'd be happy here but I just cannot see why Now that you've finally lured me here I am faced with my greatest fear I always trusted you all along But now something has gone really wrong Now I see your sad world why did I think I'd want to change It just seems much worse here everyone want to play their games You can only pretend for so long that the truth will go away I'm waiting for the day, the day when you will realize That reality will be waiting when you open up your eyes Sometimes I wonder why I persist, when I've nothing left to give You've sucked me dry of any life, and anything I've yet to try What have you left me to hold inside I'm back where I started but everything is twice as hard When days just like today will never really be too far
17.
Target 03:43
Let the walls come down on top of me Let the walls come down on top of me Maybe then you'll see the value of life to me Maybe then you'll see how important this is to me Oh I don't know Why I'm the one Always getting hurt I don't want to live me life in pain I don't want to live me life in pain But you don't even care you just stand right over there You don't even care you think it's all completely fair Oh will they quit Digging deep into my skin I'm sick of being burned Let the walls come down on top of me Let the walls come down on top of me Maybe then you'll see the value of life to me Maybe then you'll see how important this is to me Oh I don't know Why I'm the one Always getting hurt
18.
All this time I felt so restrained Like I would never be free again I'd forgotten what it really meant to live And this illusion is not all there is And we feel so happy Though we go nowhere I am running with you I'll never leave you far behind It's hard for me to keep up with you You've been in this situation before And I have never felt like this But I'll give all I have to give And we feel so happy Though we go nowhere I am running with you I'll never leave you far behind I want to be alive For once I want to smile I want to be alive I never want to die I want to be alive Just to be with you Don't turn me away so easily Because of what you've heard people say Cos most of it is never true When I stand right next to you And we feel so happy Though we go nowhere I am running with you I'll never leave you far behind
19.
Nobody's perfect Nothing's perfect in this world 'cause we're all human that's a fact of life So I don't understand the reason why You can't imagine that A place like utopia can be filled with strife Lies and deceit will get you nowhere Because you just can't live like that In a place like utopia But maybe I'm wrong I've seen the world I've seen the crime that's been committed The greed, the lies, the murder are just too much to take So I've got to tell you something that I know you don't want to hear But this idea of utopia is just a fake Lies and deceit will get you nowhere Because you just can't live like that In a place like utopia But maybe I'm wrong
20.
I don't really know Which way that I should go But I Know that I love you Now it's just a matter of letting you know Face the nation With investigation It's either that or a disposition of isolation Disintegration Of the heart But I can't let that be the situation I need help from you So I won't be lonely too You must help me out And give a love that is true Face the nation With investigation It's either that or a disposition of isolation Disintegration Of the heart But I can't let that be the situation Gotta get your attention Face the nation With investigation It's either that or a disposition of isolation Disintegration Of the heart But I can't let that be the situation
21.
We can't move around We're stuck on this ground With nowhere to go Everybody's moving so slow I want to get up and go We live in a motionless world We've nowhere to go No wonder we're so depressed 'cause we live in a motionless world This routine's getting old And although I've been told That we've got to live with it I'm getting rather sick of it Trapped inside this pit We live in a motionless world We've nowhere to go No wonder we're so depressed Cos we live in a motionless world I can't understand This quite monotonous plan Why such things must be Why can't I be free Why can't I be me We live in a motionless world We've nowhere to go No wonder we're so depressed Cos we live in a motionless world

about

In 2016, we decided to revisit all of our original cassette demos and bring the very best tracks back to life 20-something years later, with cleaned up remastered digital recordings and brand new vocal recordings. This compilation, Movement: The Very Best of Mind Machine 1990-1995, showcases a combination of these along with some of the original recordings from 1990-1991.
