1. Wasting Love
Maybe one day I'll be an honest man,
Up till now I'm doing the best I can
Long roads, long days of sunrise to sunset, sunrise to sunset
Dream on brother while you can,
Dream on sister, I hope you find the one
All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time
Spend your days full of emptiness, spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress, rolling shadows of nights
Dream on brother while you can,
Dream on sister, I hope you find the one
All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time
Sands are flowing and the lines are in your hand
In your eyes I see the hunger, and the desperate cry that tears the night
Spend your days full of emptiness, spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress, rolling shadows of nights
(4:18-Solo: Janick Gers)
Spend your days full of emptiness, spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress, rolling shadows of nights
Spend your days full of emptiness, spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress, rolling shadows of nights
2. Tailgunner (live)
Trace your way back 50 years,
To the glow of Dresden - blood and tears
In the black above by the cruel searchlight,
Men will die men will fight - yeah!
Who shot who and who fired first?
Dripping death to whet the bloodthirst
No radar lock on - skin and bone,
The bomber boys are going home
Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
(2:09-Solo: Janick Gers)
(2:28-Solo: Dave Murray)
Nail that Fokker kill that son,
Gonna blow your guts out with my gun,
The weather forecasts good for war,
Cologne and Frankfurt? have some more!
Tail end Charlie in the boiling sky,
The Enola Gay was my last try
Now that this tailgunner's gone
No more bombers, just one big bomb
Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
3. Holy Smoke (live)
Believe in me and send no money,
I died on the cross and that ain't funny
But my so called friends are making me a joke,
They missed out what I said like I never spoke
They choose what they wanna hear - don't tell a lie,
They just leave out the truth as they're watching you die
Saving your souls by taking your money,
Flies round shit, bees around honey
Holy smoke, holy smoke,
Plenty bad preachers for the Devil to stoke
Feed'em in feet first this is no joke,
This is thirsty work making holy smoke
Jimmy Reptile and all his friends
Say they gonna be with you at the end
Burning records burning books,
Holy soldiers Nazi looks
Crocodile smiles just wait a while,
Till the TV Queen gets her make up clean
I've lived in filth I've lived in sin,
And I still smell cleaner that the shit you're in
Holy smoke, holy smoke,
Plenty bad preachers for the Devil to stoke
Feed'em in feet first this is no joke,
This is thirsty work making holy smoke
(2:09-Solo: Janick Gers)
(2:31-Solo: Dave Murray)
They ain't religious but they ain't no fools,
When Noah built his Cadillac it was cool
Two by two they're still going down,
And the satellite circus just left town
I think they're strange and when they're dead
They can have a Lincoln for their bed
Friend of the President - trick of the tail,
Now they ain't got a prayer - 100 years in jail
Holy smoke, holy smoke,
Plenty bad preachers for the Devil to stoke
Feed'em in feet first this is no joke,
This is thirsty work making holy smoke
4. The Assassin (live)
Now the contracts out, they've put the word about, I'm coming after you
It's not the money I make, it's the thrill of the chase, and I'm coming after you
I watch your every move, study the things you do, and the patterns of your ways
I watch the way you walk, I hear your telephone talk, I want to understand the way you think
Better watch out, cos I'm the assassin
Better watch out, cos I'm the assassin
Better watch out, better watch out
Better watch out, cos I'm the assassin
Better watch out, cos I'm the assassin
Better watch out, assassin! assassin! assassin!
(2:05-Solo: Dave Murray)
(2:26-Solo: Janick Gers)
I'm in a cold cold sweat, I taste the smell of death, I know the moment's getting closer
And as you walk to the light, I feel my hands go tight, excitement running through my veins
I've got you in my sights, I've got you dead to rights, the triggers waiting for my finger
I feel adrenaline rush, it's just the final touch, you can kiss your ass goodbye
Better watch out, cos I'm the assassin
Better watch out, cos I'm the assassin
Better watch out, better watch out
Better watch out, cos I'm the assassin
Better watch out, cos I'm the assassin
Better watch out, assassin! assassin! assassin!
