Lyrics:

Deperir a gris - deperir a gris.
One man on a lonely platform

One case sitting by his side.
Two eyes staring cold and silent

Show fear as he turns to hide.

Ah
we fade to grey - fade to grey
Ah
we fade to grey - fade to grey

Un homme dans une gare desolee

Une valise a ses cotes.
Deux yeux fixes et froids -
Montre de la peur lorsqu'il
Se tourne pour se cacher.

Ah
we fade to grey - fade to grey
Ah
we fade to grey - fade to grey

Sent la pluie comme un ete anglais.
Comme les notes d'une chanson lointaine
Sortant de derriere d'un poster esperant
Que la vie ne fut si longue.

Ah
we fade to grey - fade to grey
Ah
we fade to grey - fade to grey

Feel the rain
like an English summer

Feel the notes from a distant song.
Stepping out from a back shop poster

Wishing life wouldn't be so dull.

Deperir a gris
Ah
we fade to grey - fade to grey
Ah
we fade to grey - fade to grey
Ah
we fade to grey - fade to grey

Deperir a gris
Ah
we fade to grey - fade to grey . . .

Visage - Mind of a Toy (1981)

Lyrics:

My painted face
Is chipped and cracked
My mind seems
To fade too fast
Clutching straws
Sinking slow
Nothing less, nothing less

A puppet's motions
Controlled by a string
By a stranger
I've never met
A nod of the head
And a pull of the thread
I can't say no, can't say no

When a child throws out a toy
When I was new you wanted me
Now I'm old you no longer see

When a child throws out a toy
Spiteful girl
Hateful boy
When a child throws out a toy

I'm all dressed up
And nowhere to go
On a music box
That never stops
I'll dance for you
If you want me to
Move in time, move in time

A wooden head
And a broken heart
Used, abused
And torn apart
I gave you my best
And you gave me the rest
It's time to die, time to die

When a child throws out a toy
When I was new you wanted me
Now I'm old you no longer see

When a child throws out a toy
Spiteful girl
Hateful boy
When a child throws out a toy

(Instrumental)

When a child throws out a toy
When I was new you wanted me
Now I'm old you no longer see

When a child throws out a toy
Spiteful girl
Hateful boy
When a child throws out a toy
