by FEX

supported by

vinylfoxx23 Came for Subways of your mind but this one took my attention, so catchy Favorite track: Talking Hands.

MagmaticMachine Skyscraper is a wonderful album! I've been hooked on the sound since the NDR version of Subways of Your Mind started circulating more widely, it's so cool that the band's been able to get back together even after all this time! Favorite track: Subways Of Your Mind (NDR Version).

forrestbyrnes I mean... if you know you know.. Favorite track: Subways Of Your Mind.

Tell me the truth about tomorrow Tell me the truth about today Tell me the truth about your sorrows Tell me the words you think and say I'll climb you, skyscraper The mountain gets too high Wait for me, wait for me I'm living - not to die Tell me the truth about your lover Tell me the truth about your last Tell me the truth you can't discover Tell me if you want to live it fast I'll climb you, skyscraper The mountain gets too high Wait for me, wait for me I'm living – not to die Tell me the truth about tomorrow Tell me the truth about today Tell me the truth about your sorrows Tell me the words you think and say I'll climb you, skyscraper The mountain gets to high Wait for me, wait for me I'm living – not to die
2.	Subways Of Your Mind 03:53	lyrics
Like the wind You came here running To take the consequence of living There's no space, There's no tomorrow What we need's communication Check it in, check it out But the sun will never shine Paranoid anyway In the subways of your mind Like the wind Going from somewhere Let a smile be your companion There's no place for any sorrow Time for young and restless dreamers Check it in, check it out But the sun will never shine Paranoid anyway In the subways of your mind Check it in, check it out It's the summer blues Tear it in, tear it out It's a good excuse Check it in, check it out It's the summer blues Tear it in, tear it out It's a good excuse
3.	Goldrush 03:25	lyrics
All we need is money, we spend our time to find it Level's always patting and you cannot understand it It's a gold rush It's a gold rush, it's a gold rush It's a gold rush We have no recommencing and any sense of passion We're cruel and awful, savage – and no one really can stop it It's a gold rush It's a gold rush, it's a gold rush It's a gold rush It's a gold rush, it's a gold rush It's a Gold rush We are like money zombies, and look for all that glitters Our longing makes us lonely, and destiny can't hit us It's a gold rush It's a gold rush, it's a gold rush It's a gold rush It's a gold rush, it's a gold rush It's a Gold rush Gold rush Gold rush Gold rush All we need is money, we spend our time to find it Level's always patting and you cannot understand it It's a gold rush It's a gold rush, it's a gold rush It's a gold rush It's a gold rush, it's a gold rush It's a Gold rush
4.	Heart In Danger 04:21	lyrics
There's no world around me There's no world around There's no world around me There's no world around Welcome changes The night is dangerous Only heaven knows why Strangest reasons Left me seeking The secret times of life Danger, danger, danger Heart in danger, danger, danger Heart in danger, danger, danger Heart in danger, danger, danger There's no world around me There's no world around There's no world around me There's no world around Different places And unknown faces See the deaf and the blind I want nobody’s Worned out feelings Dreams will keep me alive Danger, danger, danger Heart in danger, danger, danger Heart in danger, danger, danger Heart in danger, danger, danger Let me cry Danger, danger, danger Let me cry...
5.	I Got My Eyes On You 05:01	lyrics
I, I got my eyes on you Observe the way you do I wish you could be mine You, you got a heart of ice I follow you tonight Until the end of time I said: I want you now! I said: I want you now! I said: I want you now! I said: I want you now! I believe in magic Looking for romantic I, I got my eyes on you There's nothing left to do Until I call you mine We can part each other too I wish my dreams come true I'm acting like a child
6.	Dirty Slapstick 02:11	lyrics
Happy - when I'm a stranger Happy - when I’m in danger Happy - when there's no reason Happy - when someone's weeping Happy - terrific crisis Happy - in seven sizes Happy - I do it my way Happy You can smile You can pray You can tell your dirty slapstick It’s your mistake It’s your mistake Happy - your misbehaviour Happy - mean persuader Happy - no destination Happy You can smile You can pray You can tell your dirty slapstick It’s your mistake It’s your mistake
7.	Talking Hands 04:01	lyrics
There's a secret heart There's a soul that starves When I paint it black You give me colors back Well, it's the way you laugh It's just the way you cry You let your body talk You'll never lose the fight It's not for your amusement It's not for money’s sound It's harder than illusion With no one else around It's not for your amusement It's not for money’s sound It's harder than illusion With no one else around Hey, hey, my friend You've got these lonely talking hands Hey, hey, my friend You've got these lonely talking hands There's a secret heart There's a soul that starves When I paint it black You give me colors back It's not for your amusement It's not for money’s sound It's harder than illusion With no one else around It's not for your amusement It's not for money’s sound It's harder than illusion With no one else around Hey, hey, my friend You've got these lonely talking hands Hey, hey, my friend You've got these lonely talking hands See me, see you We never notice when you smile See me, see you We never notice when you smile It's not for your amusement It's not for money’s sound It's harder than illusion With no one else around It's not for your amusement It's not for money’s sound It's harder than illusion With no one else around Hey, hey, my friend You've got these lonely talking hands Hey, hey, my friend You've got these lonely talking hands See me, see you We never notice when you smile See me, see you We never notice when you smile
8.	Strange Feeling 03:46	lyrics
You call my eyes and Tell me news Out on the way You got the latest blues Although it’s raining You broke my heart Tired of the sunny days It’s the way it was Strange feeling Strange feeling (about you) You are my lover And you tell you want Not everybody Cause I’m The One But all this poison Tears us apart It just stops Before it starts Strange feeling Strange strange feeling
9.	Jenny 03:47	lyrics
I work at night, I work all day, I'm working overtime Jenny got my heart and she won't give it back I'm a stranger to my friends, but she's the only one Who could break my solitude and harmonize I said ohh-ohh Ohh-ohh-ohh Ohh-ohh Ohh-ohh-ohh I can't find the words to describe all those lonely nights Heaven knows how long I've stayed and wait for you I ask you, "Will you spend with me the rest of all your life?" Everywhere, I've looked for someone made as you I'm coming back to bring you changes I'm coming back to bring you changes, baby I'm coming back to bring you changes I'm coming back to bring you changes, baby I'm coming back to bring you changes I'm coming back to bring you changes, baby I'm coming back to bring you changes I'm coming back to bring you changes, baby I work at night, I work all day, I'm working overtime Jenny got my heart and she won't give it back I'm a stranger to my friends, but she's the only one Who could break my solitude and harmonize I said ohh-ohh Ohh-ohh-ohh Ohh-ohh Ohh-ohh-ohh Ohh-ohh (I'm coming back to bring you changes) Ohh-ohh-ohh (I'm coming back to bring you changes, baby) Ohh-ohh (I'm coming back to bring you changes) Ohh-ohh-ohh (I'm coming back to bring you changes, baby)

+++++ SKYSCRAPER - Waves From The Past +++++

It’s finally happening! The full-length debut LP by FEX is here!

But that’s not all — we’re also offering the much-requested “yellow label tape” cassette replica, a limited bonus vinyl EP with additional tracks, and a CD! We hope everyone will be as excited as we are.

Cover Details:
The artwork was created by Darius, who recorded Subways Of Your Mind via NDR radio in the mid-80s. Without him, FEX may never have been discovered.
The image features the Eichenberg-Bunker in Kiel, where FEX had one of their rehearsal rooms.

* Available on black or yellow vinyl
* Deluxe gatefold sleeve
* Artwork by Darius
* Includes the TMMS version from Darius’ original 1980s cassette as a bonus track (slightly different from the single version)
