• Title: Tora! Tora! Tora!
• Album: Speak & Spell
• Year: 1981

Lyrics:

They were raining from the sky
Exploding in my heart
Is this the love in disguise
Or just a form of modern art

From the skies you can almost hear their cry
Tora ! Tora ! Tora !
In the town they were going down
Tora ! Tora ! Tora !

I had a nightmare only yesterday
You played a skeleton
You took my love then died that day
I played an American

From the skies you can almost hear them cry
Tora ! Tora ! Tora !
In the town they were going down
Tora ! Tora ! Tora !

I played an American
I played an American

• Title: Photographic
• Album: Speak & Spell
• Year: 1981

Lyrics:

A white house, a white room
The program of today
Lights on, switch on
Your eyes are far away

The map represents you
And the tape is your voice
Follow all along you
Till you recognize the choice

I take pictures
Photographic pictures

Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room

I said I'd write a letter
But I never got the time
And looking to the day
I mesmerize the light

The years I spend just thinking
Of a moment we both knew
A second passed like an empty room
It seems it can't be true

I take pictures
Photographic pictures

Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room

• Title: Puppets
• Album: Speak & Spell
• Year: 1981

Lyrics:

Get the feeling, head is reeling
You think you're in control but you don't know me babe
I can move you, I can soothe you
I can take you places in a different way

And I don't think you understand
What I'm trying to say
I'll be your operator baby
I'm in control

Watch your action, close reaction
And everything you're thinking babe inside your head
Conversation, my creation
Nothing that you do you do unless I said

And you don't know the consequences
Of the things you say
I'll be your operator baby
I'm in control

All the things you tried to do babe
And all the words we've said before
Are only part of what I started baby
And you can't stop me anymore

Get the feeling, head is reeling
You think you're in control but you don't know me babe
I can move you, I can soothe you
I can take you places in a different way

And I don't think you understand
What I'm trying to say
I'll be your operator baby
I'm in control

• Title: Dreaming of Me
• Album: Speak & Spell
• Year: 1981

Lyrics:

Light switch, man switch
Film was broken only then
All the night, viewed tomorrow
Dancing with a distant friend

Filming and screening, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me

So we left, understanding
Clean cut, some were sounding fast
Talked of sad, I talked of war
I laughed and climbed the rising cast

Filming and screening, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me

Quickly, I remember
Viewed that sort of face before
Timing reason, understanding
Like Association Hall

Filming and screening, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me

Dreaming of me (Oooh, la la la ...)
Just dreaming of me
It's only me
Just me
