I’m Cold — B-side to Jumping Someone Else’s Train UK 7” single
You’re begging me to stay
But I’m laughing in your face
You’re so desperate
Not to let those years of care
All go to waste
But it was you who wanted love
Not romance
You have to pay the price
My body may be made of fire
But my soul is made of ice
I’m me
I’m cold
I’m cold
I’m told
I’d love to love you girl
But my body has just been sold

Pillbox Tales — B-side to 1986 Boys Don’t Cry (New Voice New Mix) UK 7”/12” singles, but recorded in 1979
Electric line
Racing time
Fire down the wall
Spinning around
The killing ground
It makes you look so small
Henna years
The stinging tears
Flesh on the railway track
The screaming queen
On the TV screen
Is never coming back
Don’t suffer no more
Just step inside and listen
Listen to my pillbox tales
Your special days
Your winning ways
You’re living out the past
You’re lying lies
And tying ties
And running much too fast
But you feel so sick
If you run too quick
And wishing every day
Wishing you were all alone
Wishing you were years away
Don’t suffer no more
Just step inside and listen
Listen to my pillbox tales

Heroin Face — Live only song, played 4 December 1977, The Rocket, Crawley, England
Spit out the shout of a warning
Death is an honour with doubts
So you live in the end
And you mistrust the start
Because you don’t think it counts
But you’ll pay for yourself
You’ll pay for yourself
You’re just a heroin face
You see a heroin face in the mirror
And someone is clutching your breath
And you believe in the needle of night
You’re only doing your best
But you’ll pay for yourself
You’ll pay for yourself
You believe in the needle of night
And someone is clutching your breath
So you mistrust the start
By always running away
But you’ll never come back
But you’ll pay for yourself
You’ll pay for yourself
You’re just a heroin face
Heroin face
You’re just a heroin face
You’re just a heroin face
You’re just a heroin face
You’re just a heroin face
Heroin face
Heroin face
Heroin face
I Want to be Old — Demo October 1977
I want to be old
And creak by the fire
I want to smell of rotting wood
It’s all I desire
I want my joints to seize up
I want my legs to ache
I want my eyesight to fail
I want my skin to flake
To be old
I want to be old
I want to be old
I want to be old
I want false teeth
And no being able to chew
I want to be senile
A centenarian fool
I want to have lots of wrinkles
Want my hearing to go
I want to be ignored
I want to be slow
Want to be old
I want to be old
I want to be old
I want to be old
I Just Need Myself — Demo January 1978
I know that I don’t love you but I tell you that I do
But I only buy you flowers to get what I want from you
You say if you’ll leave me, it will put me on a shelf
But I don’t need you girl
I just need myself
I just need myself
You’re trusting all my lies
You believe me when I say I think I’ll be with you forever
So you let me have my way
I say stay with me baby and I’ll lavish you with wealth
But I’ll make it then I’ll leave you
Cause I just need myself
I just need myself
I know that I don’t love you but I tell you that I do
But I only buy you flowers to get what I want from you
You say if you’ll leave me it’ll put me on a shelf
But I don’t need you girl
I just need myself
I just need myself
I just need myself
I just need myself
I just need
The Cocktail Party — Demo March 1978
Blood of Mary
Fills my glass
Spins crimson in the gloom
Sipping on another cocktail
Waking up in another room
Gaze out on the river
Of the gleaming city sky
Sipping on another cocktail
Watching the world go by
Surge of twilight
Blazing shadows
Seeing things not there
Television flickers
On channel One
And static cracks the air
Yesterday was yesterday
A nightmare of my past
Sipping on another cocktail
From the same glass
Come sunshine
Come next time
Come…
Oh! Come along with me!
I will show you life
I will give you my eyes
I will give you security…
Yesterday was yesterday
A nightmare of my past
Sipping on another cocktail
From the same glass
Blood of Mary
Fills my glass
Spins crimson in the gloom
Sipping on another cocktail
Waking up in another room
Gaze out on the river
Of the gleaming city sky
Sipping on another cocktail
Watching the world go by
Come sunshine
Come next time
Come…
Oh! Come along with me!
I will show you life
I will give you my eyes
I will give you security…
Yesterday was yesterday
A nightmare of my past
Sipping on another cocktail
From the same glass
Everyday was yesterday
A nightmare of my past
Sipping on another cocktail
From the same glass…
Winter — Outtake October 1978
It’s always forever
Always and sometimes
Now I’m alone
Lonely and cold like a painted sky
Remembering the love that became a lie
Knowing I can scream by myself and only cry forever
This summer goes by upon the wind
Goes by as slow as I have never been
I lift my hand and wipe your tears
Your tears
And just can’t go on
Now our love has gone away
And my imaginary world is fading fast
Dreams I dream could never last
I left my innocence in the past
To my broken heart
This summer goes by upon the wind
Goes by as slow as I have never been
I lift my hand and wipe your tears
Your tears
And just can’t go on
Now our love has gone away
This summer goes by upon the wind
Goes by as slow as I have never been
I lift my hand and wipe your tears
Your tears
And just can’t go on
Now our love has gone
And just can’t go on
Now my love has gone away
Faded Smiles — Outtake October 1978
(Haven’t got any words)
The barber chair falls to the floor
He rolls in tears
But he cries no more
Someone feels stand through his eyes
And he moves his arm against the light
Tips his hair
Swallows his dreams
The silence drowns his final screams
Says it to the naked child
Die alone with her
Faded smiles
Tips his hair
Swallows his dreams
The silence drowns his final screams
Says it to the naked child
Die alone with her
Faded smiles
Play with Me — Outtake October 1978
I paint your nails
And brush your hair
And tell you that you are so very beautiful
I whisper in your ear
And on my knees
I tell you that you are
Desirable
You don’t need to cage me
To close all the doors
For as long as you keep me
I will always be yours
Play with me
Play with me
I stroke your neck
And lick your lips
And do just what you tell me to do
Sometimes I’ll be crawling just the pavement
But only when you want me to
Don’t need to cage me
To close all the doors
For as long as you keep me
I will always be yours
Play with me
Play with me
I know that you need me
I know that you care
You know that I may not love you
But I will always be there
I paint your nails
And brush your hair
And tell you that you are so very beautiful
I whisper in your ear
And on my knees I tell you that you are
Desirable
Don’t need to cage me
To close all the doors
For as long as you keep me
I will always be yours
Won’t you play with me?
Play with me
Won’t you play with me?
Please come play with me
Primary — Outtake September 1980
(With words)
Red in the Christmas tree shines
(You put your stockings up by the side of the bed)
And you lick your sticky lips
(I kill the [?])
I say goodbye
(Twist)
And jump
(In the air)
Noise
(My skin pink)
Yellow such a happy colour
(No so far away)
But I feel so old
(Every command)
Girl sits drawing pictures
Oh yellow yellow yellow yellow yellow yellow yellow
That’s so cold
Oh, remember
Oh, please don’t change
Blue is waiting for your brother
Shutting out the lights and reaching for a [?]
Memories of [?] time away
Flown of such a [?]
Such a young girl
Oh, remember
Oh, please don’t change
Spin spin spin spin
