    Martyn Ware (The Human League, Heaven17) "The album sounds great! Glad current artists are keeping the faith with quality songwriting"

    The Electricity Club "if the idea of a dystopian Howard Jones album fashioned from the roots of Synth Britannia appeals, then ‘The Price Of Nothing & The Value Of Everything’ is for you . . . this album is melodic vintage synth ear candy with a dose of gloom. "I'm keeping the flame alive for those sounds and hopefully developing my songwriting along the way” – well, as far as CIRCUIT3 is concerned, he has achieved that!"

    Mat Smith (Furtherdot.com) “the signature sounds, drum machine rhythms and lyrical stylings of that era are handled with exceptional care, with the fragile mystique of a track like ‘Face In The Crowd’ sounding like a newly-discovered tape of a Reset Records session left in a dusty corner of Vince Clarke’s Splendid studio space”

Last night as I was sleeping I shed a silent tear There is safety in my dreaming at night I don’t feel fear The darkness has served it’s purpose My heart is worse than worthless So don’t start don’t start ! Chances all look the same Don’t stop ! All chances look the same I’m only safe when I am sleeping I’m only safe when I am dreaming I’m only safe in your arms don’t wake me now Touch an echo in the silence Can’t let go of this violence Don’t start ! Chances all look the same Don’t stop ! All chances look the same I’m only safe when I am sleeping I’m only safe when I am dreaming I’m only safe in your arms don’t wake me now

Your dirty little secret your filthy little lie No I’ll tell no-one I’ll keep it ’til I die The face at my window hide under the bed Stay there for a little while not a word is said When I die look out for my ghost You know why you should fear me most Jumped up attention whore oh look at me look at me The black the blue the uniforms and nobody believed When I die look out for my ghost You know why you should fear me most I’ll be the face at your window I’ll be the noise in the night I’ll make you jump at shadows Every wrong you did I’ll put right Your dirty little secret your filthy little lie No I’ll tell no-one I’ll keep it ’til I die

Sold My Soul 03:56
Now get up off your knees The time has come to kill the fear I’m giving you the keys This is how we disappear I sold my soul I sold my soul tonight I sold my soul to you I sold my soul Been saying it for years We’re gonna make the same mistake The voice is so sincere The truth is there to bend and break I sold my soul I sold my soul tonight I sold my soul to you I sold my soul This is how we disappear

Electric 04:44
Silence is golden it comes with a warning Hide your emotion the city has spoken Look at me I’m the last one standing Look at you there’s no happy ending You are electric so don’t reject it You are protected don’t you forget this Watching the TV finding out what you need Stumbling and falling voices are calling Look at me I’m the last one standing Look at you there’s no happy ending You are electric so don’t reject it You are protected don’t you forget this Finding your own space winning the human race The city’s alive now surviving it somehow Look at me I’m the last one standing Look at you there’s no happy ending You are electric so don’t reject it You are protected don’t you forget this You are electric

DNA 05:12
My brain is fried can’t think at all Throwing ideas against the wall I can’t change my DNA Some days are better than others From dust to dust when nothing lasts Broken promise fractured trust I can’t change my DNA Some days are better than others
6.
I don’t want to fall in love again Simple truths are harder to defend Unless it’s you with me I don’t want to fall in love again So cynical so radical so help me now I don’t want to break your heart again Words are easy said let’s not pretend But in time you’ll see I don’t want to break your heart again So cynical so radical so help me now My head’s in the clouds I’m not coming down So cynical so radical so help me now I don’t want to fall in love again
7.
Ocean bridge to land of free Motion hand and breeze Tiny angel lost at sea Send him back to me A face in the crowd we’re facing it now Wave on wave of helpless hands Crashing on the sand Brave the journey from your land Human contraband A face in the crowd we’re facing it now
8.
And so it begins A new world in a familiar skin And so it begins Don’t try to pretend You ever knew how this was going to end Don’t try to pretend Come into the city tonight Come see what you’re missing tonight To stay or to go When we don’t know which way the other road goes To stay or to go You took back control So how you feeling about it in the cold? But you took back control! Come into the city tonight Come see what you’re missing tonight And on this ship of fools we’ll make a home Meet you at the breaking point We’ll start again Come into the city tonight Come see what you’re missing tonight
9.
The Rain 04:23
I need the rain when I feel this blue If it hurts so much to be you don’t you need it too? I hear your name carried on the wind You never loved again I lost you in the game Harmony Ecstacy Want to be free I feel the rain cold against my skin Wash away the shame Feel my life begin Harmony Ecstacy Want to be free I need the… I feel the rain

Monday’s on my mind not groovin’ Better fall in line not choosin’ Somebody out there moving so slowly checking my words and listening closely It’s for my own good they say Friday you’re on fire not cooling You want to take it higher not fooling’ Somebody out there watching you closely They know where you go and what you do mostly It’s for your own good And when your big ideas will not save the world And someone else instead of you gets there first It’s for own good they say Freedom on the line it’s losing Running out of time not cruisin’ Somebody out there moving so slowly checking your words and listening closely It’s for your own good they say And when your big ideas will not save the world And someone else instead of you gets there first It’s for your own good Monday’s on my mind not groovin’ Better fall in line not choosin’ Somebody out there moving so slowly checking my words and listening closely It’s for your own good they say
