Gong - City of Self Fascination

We come from an alien nation to
the city of self fascination we come
from an alien nation to the city of
self fascination

They coming back to visit you again
Its been so very very long...
We come from an alien nation
To the city of self fascination

I'm wondering why
as I wander by
people of the earth
wanna kill kill kill
wanna win win win
as they spin spin spin
so sad to see you
have to go to war
so you suffer all the more
we hope you know as you
brush away the tears
maybe it's just fear, my dears

We come from an alien nation
To the city of self fascination

Coming back down again
Coming back round again
Looking for signs of intelligent life
On this planet of trouble and strife
(counterpoint chorus)
I wanna know how to escape from its thrall
I wanna know how to escape from its thrall
I wanna know how.....

We come from an alien nation
To the city of self fascination
come come come come
come from an alien nation

(earth conditioned citizen speaks)
I live in my bubble & I watch tv
& my boys go to war to keep the
poor away from me
you can travel to yer planet
but I'd sooner get stoned
so don't-cha beam me up scotty
cuz I gona stay home
I sad you betcha
I say we do it again
I say we do it again
I gonna letcha
I think yr crazy but see
It's a free country

We come from an alien nation
To the city of self fascination

I' wandering cross the world
wondering why
You block out the sun fight the ligh
chop out the beautiful sky to take another bite
teachin all of the kids to live by the knife
Be frightened of the dark
in the park at night
Shut-up yr face don't lose yr place
you better be So afraid to talk
better be very frightened
to walk the park
get in the car go to the bar
Drink it up big daddy
it just your body of the planet in a
Vanity boutique up shit creek
lookin bleak no brain rain comin

No lookin back
it's a poisoned ivy league
played like a rugby league
black plague kinda vague
its all in yr head
No sweet dreamin in your bed stead
No love made here
Just a long dark night
of the capitalist pain
On a planet of unreal material gain
We Come From An Alien Nation
to The City Of Self Fascination

Gong - Digital Girl

She's a digital girl
in a digital world
She's a ridge didgie
widgie (did-she?)
digital girl
She's a digital girl
in a digital world
She's a sexy veggie
widgie midgie
Whispical girl
In a digital world
In a digital swirl
She's a sci-fi wi-fi intelligence girl
She's a virtual girl
In a virtual world
In a manifold reality insanitea world
Now she's here
Then she's gone
Now she's back where she belongs
This her future
This her past
Why does life go past so fast
She's a digital girl
In a digital world
She's a digital woman
In a manual world
You can save her as a copy
You can save her as a doc
But if ya only wanna look
You can save her as a pic
You save her as a titan
You can save her as a chick
You can take her out to dinner on yr
memory stick
You gonna really be a zero
If you blot your copy book & if you
try to duplicate (her)
She'll delete you from your hard drive
Now she's here
Then she's gone
Now she's back where she belongs
This her future
This her past
Why does life go past so fast
Gilli:
She looked into her soft wear
And fount a php on her hard drive
Zeros and ones
Padlocks and perfumes
Skeletons dance
in the mirrors of your
soft wear darling darling
Now she's here
Then she's gone
Now she's back where she belongs
This her future
This her past
Why does life go past so fast?

Gong - How to Stay Alive

(Chorus:) take me to your leaders...
let the song man spin it
it began at the beginning
Twas a sweet green planet
Nothing ON it, nothing TO it
nothing IN it, nothing to-do
with a planet as we know it
it's a planet commin to ya but cha
don't know if its there
may-be its here, Maybe there,
Check it! Underneath the milky way,
right beside the southen cross
I don't think so!

Y jest cant see it but it aint go-ing away
if you dance and y sing & everything will
clarify, fructify, Multiply, fact finding it
will never satisfy,
Not the big bang not the big bong
but the planet called gong
its a singin & a ringin out
Dis is where I cummin from
Dis where dat We belong
dis is where it all began
Hu man!
They comin out of an intention
Which I hesitate to mention:
Maybe outa space is just a parallel
dimension!
They comin down form a planet
so far so near
That's where it all began
That mu-sick y' hear
It happens to remind me
Of a long lost story
bout a visit form the stars
from some old Babas
Professor Paradox
and the Octave Doctors
Time Doctors on space guitars
those wise Avatars form a distant star
they have watched us
(take us to your leaders)
hah... we assume the position.
We assume the position.
Of possession of power
We chop out the life
we live by the knife
we chop out the life
 we live by the knife
cut out the memory
that everybody's family
one great family
of conscious humanity
one great family
of conscious humanity
one great family
of conscious humanity
one great family
of conscious humanity
The time will come
when the star men arrive
in 2032 they be lookin at you
They comin down to earth
& its been so long
so very very long ago...
when last they dared to
come down here
to show us what we need to know...
How to survive
without killing the planet man
how to survive without killing the planet
we need to know
how stay alive
we need to know
how stay alive
take me to your leaders

Let the song man spin it... (etc)
(continue to repeat verse one until the line)
...you just can't see it but it aint going away

Its a singin and a ringin out
this is where we're coming form
this is where we all belong
this is where is all began
Huuu-man
