All Stood Still

Choreography and set: Laura
Music: “All Stood Still” by Ultravox

Leti says: “All Stood Still” is so Black & white ..the impact is clear concise and easy to understand. It is so vibrant the strength of no color rules.
R says: “I look good in bla- DAMMIT!”

The lights went out
(The last fuse blew)
The clocks all stopped
(It can’t be true)
The program’s wrong
(What can we do?)
The printout’s blocked
(It relied on you)
The turbine cracked up
The buildings froze up
The system choked up
What can we do?
Please remember to mention me
In tapes you leave behind
We stood still
We all stood still
Still stood still
We’re standing still
The screen shut down
(There’s no reply)
The lifts all fall
(A siren cries)
And the radar fades
(A pilot sighs)
As the countdowns stall
(The readout lies)
The turbines cracked up
The buildings froze up
The system choked up
What can we do?
Please remember to mention me
In tapes you leave behind
We stood still
We all stood still
Still stood still
We’re standing still
The black box failed
(The codes got crossed)
And the jails decayed
(The keys got lost)
Everyone kissed
(We breathe exhaust)
In the new arcade
(Of the holocaust)
The turbine cracked up
The buildings froze up
The system choked up
What can we do?
Please remember to mention me
In tapes you might leave behind
We stood still
We all stood still
Still stood still
We’re standing still
We stood still
We all stood still
Still stood still
We’re standing still

Alive and Kicking

You turn me on, you lift me up
And like the sweetest cup I’d share with you
You lift me up, don’t you ever stop, I’m here with you
Now it’s all or nothing
Cause you say you’ll follow through
You follow me, and I, I, I follow you

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What’s it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who’s got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Who’s gonna save you?
Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, until your love is, Alive

Oh you lift me up to the crucial top, so I can see
Oh you lead me on, till the feelings come
And the lights that shine on
But if that don’t mean nothing
Like if someday it should fall through
You’ll take me home where the magic’s from
And I’ll be with you
What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What’s it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who’s got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Don’t say goodbye
Don’t say goodbye
In the final seconds who’s gonna save you?

Oh, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking
Oh, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking

After Dark

Watching her
Strolling in the night so white
Wondering why
It’s only after dark
In her eyes
A distant fire light burns bright
Wondering why
It’s only after dark
I find myself in her room
Feel the fever of my doom
Falling falling
Through the floor
I’m knocking on the devil’s door yeah
In the dawn
I wake up to find her gone
And the note
Says “only after dark”
Burning burning in the flame
Now I know her secret name
You can tear her temple down
But she’ll be back and rule again yeah
In my heart a deep and dark
And lonely part
Wants her and waits for
After dark
After dark
After dark
After dark
