Fans have long waited for this to be reissued on CD!!!! It's FINALLY here and as CRISP and CLEAR as ever! You can hear the subtle keyboards, fading in and out, sounds I haven't heard before, pounding drums, clean vocals, etc. I got tired of listening to my old worn on cassette tape and vinyl.
Over the years my tape broke and the vinyl got scratched! I was shocked to see this was reissued! Your in for a REAL TREAT if you order this now and hear it either for the first time or again; even after listening to your crusted tape and melted vinyl a million times, you'll still want to hear this remastered!
With this Newly REMASTERED and REISSUED classic 1986 CD; the sound has never been any better!? Long awaited fans and newbie's alike will totally enjoy this from Modern English! If you don't have this CD in your collection yet your really missing out! If you passed this up the first time back in 1986, well now's your chance to go get it in 2010 before possibly never seeing this classic CD again!? Let's hope not!? Check it out, you won't be disappointed!
These Guys have a New Website and are going on tour this summer too! Go check this one out and the new album too! Then go see them on tour! (Amazon by COSMOS)
Modern English will held a concert on Manila on January 2012.

STOP START LYRICS
THE BORDER
Temperature’s rising
Over the border
People are leaving
Runnin’ away from it all
Let’s get away from law and order
I want to feel again like I did before
Let’s drive away without delay
Across the feted border
I want to live again like I did before
There’s so much more life outside
I’ve got nothing left to hide
Came to me just overnight
Leave the race and join the fight
What more do I have to say
I’ve got to get away
I’ve got to get away
Let’s get away from law and order
I want to feel again like I did before
Let’s drive away without delay
Across the feted border
I want to live again like I did before
There’s much more to this
Much more than complete disorder
When you run for your lives
You’ve got to get across the border
Oh, listen to me closely
I’ve got to get away
I’ve got to get away
Let’s get away from law and order
I want to feel again like I did before
Let’s drive away without delay
Across the feted border
I want to live again like I did before
(Repeat chorus)
Let’s get away (x2)
INK AND PAPER
Wooh, (Oh, oh, oh) (x3)
Well there it is in black and white
No need to read between the lines
You made it clear to the letter
You're breaking off the chains that bind
I want to tell you but I'm touring a band
(Ink and Paper)
Not quite enough to make it clear
(Ink and Paper )
And the words keep ringing in my ears
(Ink and Paper )
A broken heart in black and white
Wooh, (Oh, oh, oh) (x3)
So many miles separate us
They come between us in the end
Once upon a time you said forever
But this is now and that was then
I want to tell you but I'm touring a band
(Ink and Paper)
I can't seem to put it down tonight
(Ink and Paper)
I can't find the words to write
(Ink and Paper)
How can I make them change your mind
I want to tell you but I'm touring a band
(Ink and Paper )
Not quite enough to make it clear
(Ink and Paper )
And the words keep ringing in my ears
(Ink and Paper)
A broken heart in black and white
(Ink and paper)
Can’t seem to put it down
(Ink and paper)
Ink & Paper
(Ink and paper)
How Can I make them change?
(Ink & paper) (repeat to fade)
NIGHT TRAIN
Work, sweat, toil
Underneath the rising sun
The long hard day had just begun
The sweat of a thousand years
Hammer on the rail
Hammer in that nail
So we sing the night train song
Then the days don’t seem so long
When you’re working for the railroad
Oh, the night train’s coming
Hear the whistle blowing
And the ground start moving
Hey, I’m on my way
I’m going home again
I’m going home again
Oh, the night train’s coming
Hear the whistle blowing
And the ground start moving
Oh, I’m on my way
I’m going home again
With the midday sun
Comes the urge to start to run
But they gone and strapped chains to you
There’s a burning in the brain
Freedom is it’s name
It’s the sweat of a thousand years
Hammer on the rail
Hammer in that nail
So you sing the night train song
Then the days don’t seem so long
Oh, the night train’s coming
Hear the whistle blowing
And the ground start moving
Oh, I’m on my way
I’m going home again
I’m going home again
Work, sweat, toil
When you’re working for the railroad
Work, sweat, toil
Oh, the night train’s coming
Hear the whistle blowing
And the ground start moving
Oh, I’m on my way
I’m going home again
I’m going home again
Oh, the night train’s coming
Hear the whistle blowing
And the ground start moving
Oh, I’m on my way
I’m going home again
(repeat to fade)
I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER
It came as no surprise when I talked to you alone
Comfort was all you needed before the night was gone
I told you once then told you twice I tell you once again
The answer like the age old question is blowing in the wind
I don’t know the answer
Can I face the world without you coming back?
Will I always be alone?
I don’t know the answer
Do you want more lines from me to hide you from the truth
Or should I eat my words and spit them loosely on the ground
You told me once then told me twice now tell me once again
There are more questions than answers all blowing in the wind
I don’t know the answer
Can I face the world without you coming back?
Will I always be alone?
I don’t know the answer
Here’s a question
Needs an answer
Give an answer if you can
I don’t know the answer
Can I face the world without you coming back?
Will I always be alone?
I don’t know the answer (repeat)
LOVE BREAKS DOWN
Two sides fought for God above
More hate rose to the sea of love
A woman's thought of a decent life
A million stars on a heat filled night
The nuclear threat hangs on our head
Two world wars and untold death
Oh, oh,
Love breaks down
Love breaks down (x4)
More lightening and the storm is on us
It seems a river should shed a tear
There’s more talking and the waiting’s over
Can you feel it, hate pours on me
Oh, oh,
Love breaks down
Love breaks down (x6)
Love breaks down,
Love breaks down
Love breaks down, love breaks down
Love breaks down
Can you feel it, can you feel it
Love breaks down,
Love, love (fade)
BREAKING AWAY
Long days and more stormy weather
The same old hard and rocky road today
And now I'm breathing in again
Breaking away run run run away (x4)
Just here and it’s another day
The world it seems has nothing much to say
Breathe in is all they said to me
Here it comes again for all to see
Watch out, make way, hypocrisy
And now I'm breathing again
Breaking away run run run away (x4)
You know it (x6)
Breaking away (run run run away) (x4)
You know it (x4)
Breaking away (run run run away) (x8)
Breathe in is all they said to me
THE GREATEST SHOW
New York to Moscow,
Peking to London
From the land into the sea
Cairo, Berlin
Everywhere so interesting
I don’t want to let it go
This life we know
It’s the world’s new greatest show
When the heart is beating
I don’t want to let it go (repeat)
Paris to Stockholm
Rome to Tokyo
Where the mountains reach the sky
Highlands, Skye where the rivers collide
The country seems to glide right by
The deserts and grass
The ruins of the past
Surrounded by the sea
Welcome to the world’s great wonders
I don’t want to let it go
Look there!
This life we know
It’s the world’s new greatest show
When the heart is beating
I don’t want to let it go (repeat)
Come one and all
Welcome to the world’s new greatest show
This life we know
It’s the world’s new greatest show
When the heart is beating
I don’t want to let it go (repeat)
Come one and all
Welcome to the world’s new greatest show
(This life we know
It’s the world’s new greatest show
When the heart is beating
I don’t want to let it go) (repeat to fade)
LOVE FOREVER
The king just sold his crown
The jobs have all gone missing
The winter brings a bitter cold
Which seems to bite right through
When the money’s running short
There’s not much you can do
Just remember
That money can’t buy you love
Love forever
Love forever
Love
The streets are paved with gold
And silver linings too
When the sun at last comes out
It’s sure to shine on you
If you believe in all these things
There’s nothing you can’t do
Just remember
Money can’t buy you love
Love forever
Love forever
Love forever
Love forever
Love
Love forever
Love forever
Love forever
Love forever
Love
Love forever
Love forever
Love forever
Love forever
Love
STOP START
(Stop) Waiting for the days to end
(Start) Living while you can
(Stop) Dreaming of what might have been
(Start) Living now
It’s another lazy afternoon
TV or cable, music available
Where’s a pen to right
Why you don’t know what to do
(Stop) Waiting for the days to end
(Start) Living while you can
(Stop) Dreaming of what might have been
(Start) Living now
The clock says time is on your side
The bell rings five, you come alive
A friendly neighbour caught you smiling
Why you don’t know what to do
(Stop) Waiting for the days to end
(Start) Living while you can
(Stop) Dreaming of what might have been
(Start) Living now
Stop start stop start
Stop
Start
Stop
Start
Waiting for the days to end (repeated)
(Stop) Waiting for the days to end
(Start) Living while you can
(Stop) Dreaming of what might have been
(Start) Living now (repeat)
Waiting for the days to end (repeat to fade)
