1. The Evil That Men Do
Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with the slaughter of innocence
But I will pray for her, I will call her name out loud
I would bleed for her, if I could only see her now...
Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge
Balancing on a ledge, living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge, you know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
Circle of fire, my baptism of joy at an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me
And I will pray for you, someday I may return
Don't you cry for me, beyond is where I learn
Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge, you know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge, you know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil, the evil, the evil that men do
The evil, the evil, the evil that men do
2. Prowler `88
Walking through the city, looking, oh!, so pretty
-- I've just got to find my way
See the ladies flashing, all there legs and lashes
-- I've just got to find my way
Well, you see me crawling through the bushes with it open wide
-- What you seeing girl?
Can't you believe that feeling?
Can't you believe it?
Can't you believe your eyes?
-- It's the real thing, girl
Got me feeling myself and reeling around
Got me talking but feel like walking around
Got me feeling myself and reeling a...
Got me talking but nothing's with me...
Got me feeling myself and reeling around
...talking but nothing's with me... got me
Walking through the city, looking, oh!, so pretty
-- I've just got to find my way
See the ladies flashing, all there legs and lashes
-- I've just got to find my way
Well, you see me crawling through the bushes with it open wide
-- What you seeing girl?
Can't you believe that feeling?
Can't you believe it?
Can't you believe your eyes?
-- It's the real thing, girl
Got me feeling myself and reeling around
Got me talking but feel like walking around
3. Charlotte The Harlot `88
Giving a swish with your arse in the air; don't you know what they're saying?
Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love that they're giving
Sticking with every man that you find; don't you know what they're after?
Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all the laughter?
Charlotte the Harlot, show me your legs
Charlotte the Harlot, take me to bed
Charlotte the Harlot, let me see blood
Charlotte the Harlot, let me see love
Taking so many men to your room; don't you feel no remorse?
You charge them a "fiver" - it's only for starters and ten for the main course
And you've got no feelings, they died long ago; don't you care who you let in?
And don't you know you're breaking the law with the service you're giving
Charlotte the Harlot, show me your legs
Charlotte the Harlot, take me to bed
Charlotte the Harlot, let me see blood
Charlotte the Harlot, let me see love
There was a time when you left me standing there
Picking up pieces of love off the floor
Well, Charlotte, you left me alone in there
To make your ends as a bloody whore
Well, Charlotte, you told me you love me true
Picking up pieces of love yesterday
Well, Charlotte, you're draws are off color too
'Cause you're making love all day
Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know what they're after?
Charlotte you've got your legs in the air; don't you hear all the laughter?
Charlotte the Harlot, show me your legs
Charlotte the Harlot, take me to bed
Charlotte the Harlot, let me see blood
Charlotte the Harlot, let me see love
