1. Bark At the Moon (Ozzy Osbourne cover)
Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengeance is boiling
He's returned to kill the light
Then when he's found what he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
Years spent in torment
Buried in a nameless grave
Now he has risen
Miracles would have to save
Those that this beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
They cursed and buried him along with shame
And thought his timeless soul had gone
In empty burning hell - unholy one
Now he's returned to prove them wrong
Oh no, yeah baby
Howling in shadows
Living in a lunar spell
He finds his heaven
Spewing from the mouth of Hell
Then when he's found what he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
2. Out of Misery
Life in the 20th Century is everything but easy
Most people unemployed
The young and the old on the dole
Fortunately, our modern state
Developed methods to keep you out of misery
An hour or two spent in a queue
Fill twenty files and access to paradise
If you’re 25, ask for R.M.I.
Just stay home and get the fucking money
And it’s so well made
That your debts will be erased
Make your best to abuse the system
Brave new world remunerating idleness as a part-time job
Of course some things are asked to me
Go to the ANPE
So that they go on paying
When all I do is nothing
Fortunately it’s only two times a week
Sometimes you make a sacrifice
A tiny pain for a comfortable gain
Allowances are falling like rain
Like rain
If you’re 25, ask for R.M.I.
Just stay home and get the fucking money
And expecting mothers
Will even get more
Giving a future to the nation
And gettin' paid for
Stand and deliver profits and benefits
GO!
Help yourself in the gold mine
The witty lead the blind
Help yourself in the gold mine
Life suddenly comes fine
If you’re 25, ask for R.M.I.
Just stay home and get the fucking money
And it’s so well made
That your debts will be erased
Make your best to abuse the system
Fortunately our modern state
Keeps you out of misery
3. Maniac (Mickael Sambello cover)
Just a Steel-Town girl on a Saturday night
Lookin' for the fight of her life
In the real time world no one sees her at all
They all say she's crazy
Lockin' rhythms to the beat of her heart
Changing moment into light
She has danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance
It can cut you like a knife
If the gift becomes the fire
All the while you're between
Will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she never danced before
On the ice-filled line of sanity
It's a place most never see
It's a hard-won place of mystery
You can touch it but can't hold it
You work all your life for that moment in time
It can come or pass you by
It's a push of the world but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays alive
There's a cold kinetic heat
Struggling, stretching for the beat
Never stopping
With her hair against the wind
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she never danced before
It can cut you like a knife
If the gift becomes the fire
All the while you're between
Will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac at your door
And she's dancing like she never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac at your door
And she's dancing like she never danced before
4. Piranha (Afric Simone cover)
5. My Favourite Armchair
I don't wanna hear your voice anymore
I don't want you around
I don't wanna see you sitting in my favourite armchair
I hope we'll never meet in town
(Relax...)
I don't wanna hear your voice anymore
I don't want you around
And I never wanna see you sitting in my favourite armchair
I hope we'll never meet in town
I wish you knew how I trusted in you
Too bad: you'll probably never know
I trusted in you... I trusted in you...
Too bad: you'll probably never know
Deceiver
You played the part of a well-dressed alter ego
You played the part of a well-dressed alter ego
You were my well-dressed alter ego
You were my well-dressed alter ego
I trusted in you
I don't wanna hear your voice anymore
Well-dressed alter ego
I don't want you around
6. Baker Street (Gerry Rafferty cover)
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Just another crazy day, you’ll drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city’s dead and makes you feel so cold
It’s got so many people but it’s got no soul
And it’s taken you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything
You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you’re tryin’, you’re tryin’ now
Another year and then you’d be happy
Just one more year and then you’d be happy
But you’re cryin’, you’re cryin’ now
Way down the street there’s a light in his place
He opens the door, he’s got that look on his face
He asks you where you’ve been, you tell him what you’ve seen
And talk about everything
He’s got this dream about buyin’ some land
He’s gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he’ll settle down, it’s a quiet little town
And forget about everything
But you know he’ll always keep movin’
Cause you know he’ll never stop movin’
He’s a rollin’, a rollin’ stone
And when you wake up it’s a new morning
The sun is shining, it’s a new morning
You’re going, you’re going home
7. Fall From Grace (Morbid Angel cover)
Hot wind burns me
Burning as I fall
Cast away
Speechless in the holy way
I survive
The scourge and banishing
To scorching land
I am lord, I take command
(Fall from grace)
Forgive me not
This knowledge makes me strong
To resurrect
The cities of the damned
All the treasures of sodom
Now belong to me - celebrate
Fallen angels take my hand
(Fall from grace)
Whores long for my flesh
And my desire
Lust annointing me now
Consume my soul
(I ride the flesh and the sinners of hell)
(I am belial)
(I bend my knee not before my selfish desire)
8. Mama (Genesis cover)
I can't see you mama
But I can hardly wait
Ooh to touch and to feel you mama
Oh I just can't keep away
In the heat and the steam of the city
Oh it's got me running and I just can't brake
So you say you'll help me mama
Cos it's getting so hard - oh
Now I can't keep you mama
But I know you're always there
You listen, you teach me mama
And I know inside you care
So get down, down here beside me
Oh you ain't going nowhere
No I won't hurt you mama
But it's getting so hard - oh
Can't you see me here mama
Mama mama mama please
Can't you feel my heart
Can't you feel my heart
Can't you feel my heart oh
Now listen to me mama
Mama mama
You're taking away my last chance
Don't take it away
Can't you feel my heart?
It's hot, too hot for me mama
But I can hardly wait
My eyes they're burning mama
And I can feel my body shake
Don't stop, don't stop me mama
Make the pain, make it go away
No I won't hurt you mama
But it's getting so hard - oh
Now I can't see you mama
But I know you're always there
You taunt, you tease me mama
But I never never can keep away
It's the heat and the steam of the city
Oh got me running and I just can't brake
So stay don't leave me mama
Cos it's getting so hard - oh
Don't go, don't go, don't go...
9. Fucking Hostile (Pantera cover)
1, 2, 3, 4
Almost every day
I see the same face
On broken picture tube
It fits the attitude
If you could see yourself
You put you on a shelf
Your verbal masturbate
Promise to nauseate
Today I'll play the part of non-parent
Not make a hundred rules
For you to know about yourself
Not lie and make you believe what's evil
Is making love and making friends
And meeting God your own way
The right way
To see
To bleed
It cannot be taught
In turn
You are making us
Definitely hostile
We stand alone
The truth in right and wrong
The boundaries of the law
You seem to miss the point
Arresting for a Martini?
You seem to wonder why
Hundreds of people die
You're writing tickets man
My mom got jumped, they ran!
And now I'll play a public servant
To serve and protect
By the law and the state
I'd bust the punks
That rape, steal and murder
And leave you be
If you crossed me
I'd shake your hand like a man
Not a god
No way
To see
To bleed
It cannot be taught
In turn
You are making all of us
Definitely hostile
We stand alone
Come meet your maker boy
Some things you can't enjoy
Because of heaven/hell
A bloody wives' tale
They put it in your head
Then put you in your bed
He's watching say your prayers
Cause God is everywhere
And now I'll play a man learning priesthood
Who's about to take
The ultimate test in life
I'd question things because I am human
And call NO ONE my father
Who's no closer than a stranger
I won't listen
To see
To bleed
It cannot be taught
In turn
You are making us
Definitely
So very
Mmmmm...
Fucking hostile
