1. Too Young To Die, Too Drunk To Live
Chemical kids lost in the street, looking
for some kind of saviour
Perverted minds lead them like sheep
into the slaughter they have to face
[CHORUS]
Too young to die, too drunk to live
As they follow in the path of believers before them
Too young to die, but there won't be too long to live
Daddie's princess fixes her hair, powders
her nose from the inside
Smokes in the car, drinks her last beer,
soon she'll be ready for one more day
Head for the classroom and to hell but
the clock up on the wall hold the
blind face of freedom
[CHORUS CONT.]
There's time to die but she just needs
more time to live
[SOLO]
Years from now
Look how they change
They're so mature and respected
Makes them laugh
They were such fools
So unaware of the real live world
Honey I'm home, fix me a drink
It's been a long hard day and the boss
drove me crazy
Watching the clock on the wall for
the happy hour
2. Hiroshima Mon Amour
It was newborn and ten feet tall,
But they called it little boy,
And C7, H5, O6, N3 they called him
T-N-T.
The fireball would dim the sun,
Promising death in its cruelest form.
Hiroshima Mon Amour
As we beg to be forgiven do you spit,
In our face and curse us all.
The fireball that shamed the sun,
Burning the shadows on the ground,
As the rain falls to dry the land,
Leaving desert for the thirsty man.
They all said it would end the war,
And we thanked Christ for the bomb,
And the priests and witches all agreed,
They should die to keep them free.
The fireball that shamed the sun,
Burning the shadows on the ground,
As the rain falls to dry the land,
Leaving the desert for the thirsty man.
HIROSHIMA!!!
3. Night Games
4. Island In The Sun
They named it the rock, land of
the living dead
A repose for the rich and famous
All the infamous would tell each other's
lies
Why did they want to tell the truth
[CHORUS]
On an island in the sun
Cool Pacific winds blow
Most were poets and they wrote in
basic prose
On the walls of their sunset blvd.
In their nine by five rooms, became
inspired
By the silence in sight of the city
[FULL CHORUS]
On an island in the sun
Cool Pacific winds blow
Just across the bay
Battered by the waves
[SOLO]
[FULL CHORUS] - Key change
Two Sailawena's
[FULL CHORUS]
5. Kree Nakoorie
Masters of the world hidden from our eyes
In the sun we grew sharing the same light
Elegant warrior my gun and your spear
Killers that keep our lives apart
Pictures from the air stole away your souls
Aerobatic thieves photographic freeze
Lead by the legend of Kree Nakoorie
The man that hides away from man so
hard to understand
6. Coming Bach (instrumental)
7. Since You've Been Gone
I get the same old dreams same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup
These four wall are closing in
Look at the fix you put me in
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone
So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around
too soon
You can't know what you mean to me
Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone
If you will come back
Baby, you know you'll never do wrong
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ever since you been gone
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
8. Evil Eye
9. All Night Long
You're walking up with your eyes on me
It's looking good but I just don't know
I need a girl who can keep her head
All night long
You didn't came just to see the show
I guess you know what you wanna see
The way you smile lets me know
I can't go wrong
I wanna touch you
I wanna feel you
I wanna make you mine
I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long
I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long
I saw you standing down by the stage
Your black stockings and you see - through dress
Your mouth is open but I don't wanna hear you
Say goodnight
You're sort of young but you're over age
I don't care 'cause I like your style
I don't know about your brain but
You look all right
I wanna touch you
I wanna feel you
I wanna make you mine
I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long
I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long
Your mind is dirty but your hands are clean
You show no class but your legs are long
I know I can't stand another night
On my own
Hey girl would you like some wine
What's your name are you by yourself
Are you the one what do you say
Can I take you home
I wanna touch you
I wanna feel you
I wanna make you mine
I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long
I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long
