B-side lyrics decipherment - the PFAYM edition

YEAH!

I think I've got most but there's a few bits and bobs I struggle with. Don't have the vinyl b-side so can't do anything about that.

INKY FINGERS

Oh where are the young men
Men of destiny
Only intervention
Can really set you free
How can we put our faith
In the United Nations
When there's always someone
With ink on their fingers

The gospels, the swansongs
The sick and the destroyed
???
???? disguise
?? do your work
??
Sometimes justice can be sweet and so pure

All the naive politic ink???
Hang your heads in shame
Your guilt is paralysing
From the colonial age
Sanctions and speeches
Melt like snow in your hands
---
At the dictatorship

The gospels, the swansongs
The sick and the destroyed
??
???? disguise
?? do your work
???
Sometimes justice can be sweet and so pure

ENGAGE WITH YOUR SHADOW
(yeah I know, you have to actually listen to this to get the remaining bits)

Ein zwei drei vier fünf

Disjointed echoes
Hermetically sealed
Refreshed and renewed
In urban retreats

?? versions
Of the London Eye
So weak and ??
The unemployed

Reserve your needs
Boutique artisan
Just as fake
As your winter suntan

Media streams
Bluetooth songs
Pixelisation
Engage with your shadow
Engage with your shadow
Engage with your shadow
Engage with your shadow

Ein zwei drei vier fünf

Get connected
Join the conversation
More and more
Sad reflections

The ??? signs
Have been erected
I'm so out of date
I've been disconnected
I've been disconnected

Unlocking your true potential
Unlocking your true potential...

Megademocracies
Lost loneliness
I feel as useless
As VHS

Rebrand, reveal, refuse
Rebrand, reveal, refuse

Media streams
Bluetooth songs
Pixelisation
Engage with your shadow...

KISS MY EYES FOR ETERNITY

Killing me softly with silence
Shoot my eyes out just for fun
Killing me quickly with ???
The cracking of an actor has begun

Killing me slowly with torture
The staring would scare any man
Killing me like a queen bee supreme
I'm being honest as I can

Kiss my eyes for eternity
And cover me blind
And cover me gently

Killing me slowly with torture
The staring would scare any man
Killing me like a queen bee supreme
I'm being honest as I can

Killing me softly with silence
Shoot my eyes out just for fun
Killing me quickly with ???
The cracking of an actor has begun

Kiss my eyes for eternity
And cover me blind
And cover me gently

Kiss my eyes for eternity
There's so much pain
So don't let me see

You said I've decided to forgive everyone else
The hardest thing to do is forgive yourself
You said I'd love to forgive everybody else

MIDNIGHT SUN
(how can you tell this is an old track? the sheer undecipherability of Bradders' mumbling!)

Arriving, unknowing
Truth everywhere
It's ??? the desire
That makes you care

Destroying, unloving
The power is gone
?? knowledge
That comes undone

It all ends where it all began
In the shadow of the midnight sun
The shadow of the midnight sun
The midnight sun

Warm ??? sunrise
White Sargasso sea (?????????)
Time keeps us beneath
While autumn sheds its leaves

It all ends where it all began
In the shadow of the midnight sun
The shadow of the midnight sun
The midnight sun
