1. Back Street Woman
The lady is keen if you know what I mean,
Scarlet hair and body lean,
Something's telling you you better beware,
She'll love you and leave you and she don't care.
Back Street Woman (x3)
Chasing the scene is where she's been,
All her life is so obscene,
Drink and drugs are part of it all,
With that combination you're sure to have a ball.
Back Street Woman (x3),
She's gonna love you and leave you.
Come on girl you've got it wrong,
Let's make it up our love's so stong,
All the clouds have blown away,
See the horizon it's another clear day.
Back Street Woman (x3)
Solo
The lady is keen if you know what I mean,
Scarlet hair and body lean,
Something's telling you you better beware,
She'll love you and leave you and she don't care.
Back Street Woman (x3)
2. Chasing the Dragon
In a darkened passageway, they're lying in wait,
Just waiting for the dragon, that they can chase,
Sunken yellow eyes, anger on their face,
How long can you live, can you stand the pace.
Chorus
Chasing the dragon, sunken yellow eyes,
Chasing the dragon for all of the time
Chasing the dragon, sunken yellow eyes, chasing the dragon.
On silver paper, they drop another grain,
Inside their heads, they'll never be the same,
The darkness of the night, mingles with the taste,
One way to go, just sniff your life away.
Chorus
Solo
Lady of the night, you're just a lonely girl
She's selling her body, her life's in a whirl,
Her master is the dragon, the evil sign,
You're chasing the dragon, for all of the time.
Chorus
3. Stormchild
Out in the wilds shining in the night,
See the fires burning,
See the lightning strike,
Lady of the storm see the passing dawn,
Message in the skies,
Stormchild, stormchild.
Back in the forest,
Woman holds the key,
The door to life which opens endless misery,
Lady of the storm see the passing dawn,
Message in the skies,
Stormchild, stormchild.
Solo
Hand in the sky points down at me,
Message from above is all that I can see,
Lady of the storm see the passing dawn,
Message in the skies,
Stormchild, stormchild.
4. Axe Crazy
You hear the snake on the radio,
You say the singer really makes you go
Can't you see what you're doing to me,
You're driving me
Axe crazy!
I've got to know now I've got to be sure,
I can't give when you're asking for more
You scream blood and you're gunning for me,
Can't you see you're driving me
Axe crazy!
(Solo)
Now I'm back I'm a dangerous force,
Fallen victim to life's evil course
I'm a madman so watch out for me,
Got my six string I've gone
Axe crazy!
5. War Machine
The world is turning, I cannot see
All life was wasted, into the sea
Prepare they told us, you'll soon be free
It won't take long now, just wait and see
(Chorus)
The army came in force, England came crashing down
Panic everywhere, radiation in the air
War machine, lose your mind, stab your back, when you look behind
The war machine has no control, you'll soon be free
Through the black hole, you will soon see
(Chorus)
(Solo)
After the horror, the world is so still, nobody is living, after the kill
Over the mountains, life will go on, don't question the thought
Cause I never will
6. Dutch Connection
Crossed the water hit the Hook today
My minds in confusion I don't know what to say
Cause I'm a fool for you and I love your shoes
You crazy Dutchmen you just watch me play
(Chorus)
Lose yourself in the Dutch connection
Lose your mind in the Dutch connection
We're all working for the Dutch connection
Under the spotlight sweating hard for you
No illusion make believe come true
Where the lands as flat as the booze and I love your shoes
You crazy Dutchmen we'll see what you can do
(Chorus)
Full blooded full of energy
And after the show now I can hardly see
So its off to get some food and I love your shoes
Up in the morning and I'll be away by three
(Chorus)
(Solo)
Cross the water going home today
My minds in confusion but I feel much better this way
I really fell for you and your wooden shoes
You crazy Dutchmen I'll be back someday
(Chorus)
7. Out of Luck
Your heads in a spin and your face starts to grin
You've had too much to drink and you're sick in the sink
You don't seem to care you've got beer in your hair
And the dripping of rain it starts to send you insane
I got sick of my job so I had a shag in the bog
And my mum seems to care about the length of my hair
She even makes jokes about the clothes that I wear
And if that ain't the end I got no money to spend
(Solo)
They're gonna lock me away I don't care what you say
And the day is so long just like the words of this song
When I get home at night and I turn on the light
And lock the back door I'll collapse on the floor
8. The Fox
You're smiling as you shoot to kill the animal that has a will
to live to breath to kill to eat, feel the soil beneath its feet
You ride your horse across the land fox at your feet gun in your hand
hold up high your face of shame to you its just a bloody game
(Chorus)
Who's the animal you or the fox, its plain for all to see
Your legs are clean but your hands are stained with blood
causing so much pain and misery
They kill for food and not for fun, why d'you have to pull your gun
the fox is very much in need its just a reflection of your greed
You like to hear the creature wail you can always shred the tail
its just snobbery someone stop the insanity
(Chorus)
(Solo)
So can't you see you're just a fool you've broken every golden rule
You turn your nose up in the air at those of us who really care
So have your drink and have your fun but try to save the scarlet one
Called the master of the hunt, you're just a silly boy!
(Chorus)
9. Master Game
The memories are scattered, like ashes on the floor
The flames once danced for you, but you're not the master anymore
I see a silhouette, dancing on the wall
I tried to warn her but, she didn't hear my call
He beckons her to his room, she's trying to hide
Her mind is leaving but, her feeble hands are tied
Its the master game, and the master came
Its the master game, no one came
They prey on innocence, to feed to satisfy
She's a victim, hear her spirit cry
The warmth flies out of her like, a leaf on a winter breeze
But woman can't you see, you're serving the master on your knees
Its the master game, and the master came
Its the master game, no one came
(Solo)
Now its sun arise, she's staring at the sky
Her dreams are far away, she's trying not to cry
Her minds a sabre, it cuts the shame away
Her heart lies on the floor, the broken pieces of the master game
Its the master game, and the master came
Its the master game, no one came
10. No Lies
She was something like a bishops daughter I was something like that too
She said hey let me take a card number 932
She was cute with her hair and golden thighs she set me ablaze in the street
I guess she wanted me but I said I could stand on my own two feet
(Chorus)
I'm telling you, no lies, I'll tell you no lies
No lies, you're too wise
No lies, I'll tell you no lies, no lies
Well her friend came up to me and said hey what you gonna do
I know you're crazy about that girl and she's really hot for you
I said wait a minute she's OK and I guess I like her style
And I turned around and there she was and she killed me with her smile
(Chorus)
Well I saw her here and I saw her there and I saw some others too
But everytime I closed my eyes I thought of hers that were baby blue
Well I dreamt of making love together on some lonely beach
Cos she's the one who refreshes the parts that others cannot reach
(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Chorus)
I'm feeling down and shaking I just didn't know what to do
But I knew I wanted her and I had to see it through
So having had so many beers the words came flowing free
I said I'd made my mind up and would you like to go with me
she said yes
(Chorus)
11. Run for Your Life
Its eyes down and your playing the game of your life
The cards you are dealing can cause so much strife
Plotting your future with tales of la lune
But you'll face much more than this and its coming very soon
(Chorus)
And you know it cuts like a knife
And you better run for your life
They say that you're crazy but you never can tell
I know what you're feeling you're going through hell
You'll stare at death card with laughter in your eyes
The fear shows on your face as a veil of thin disguise
(Chorus)
(Solo)
The times coming closer as you sit all alone
And the death bells are ringing as you reach for the phone
But who will believe it you played by the rules
But brother its you yeah the joker or the fool
(Chorus)
Its time now to take you to your funeral pyre
Where the reaper is waiting with his harsequice of fire
You're burning, you stumble, your starting to scream
Then suddenly you up wake its all been a dream
(Chorus)
(Solo)
You waken its over you're glad to be free
You head for the door and you fumble for the key
The lock just keeps turning you're a prisoner of truth
Tells all your fortune there's nothing you can do
(Chorus)
12. Prisoner
You've got the power to set me free,
why don't you give it, give it to me
I'd sell you short is that what you thought,
don't you see there's no mystery
You'll change you mind we're so short of time
I've drawn a sentence my life's on the line
I'm gonna die I've got to get out,
I'm gonna try just let me shout
(Chorus)
I'm a prisoner, set me free
I'm a prisoner, let me out
I'm a prisoner, set me free
I'm a prisoner, let me out
Your bright blue eyes are staring at me,
closer now than they'll ever be
My minds running wild there's nobody there,
Reach up to the sky, no one seems to care
This empty cell so dark and lonely,
Cold thick stone and bars surround me
I'm getting weaker by the hour,
Outside I hear the distant laughter
(Chorus)
(Solo)
Repeat 1st Verse
(Chorus)
13. Ain't No Fantasy
I saw the light burning in the sky
I'm sorry girl I always make you cry
The blinding light is still a mystery
To show the sky for everyone to see
Feelings running high and they're running free
The tide has turned for baby you and me
Stand up and stare at your sympathy
Cos' rock'n'roll ain't no fantasy
(Solo)
14. Rawdeal
The red light's flashing high above the stage
Rain in the air its always the same
Sixty thousand people look on in silence
A wild eruption as the band starts to play
The level's too high the sound is bad
Continuous feedback it drives you mad
The top of the bill always get their way
Forget the rest they ain't got no say
(Chorus)
You've got a raw deal, how do you feel
Been taken for a ride, no one on your side
(Solo)
You're quietly content to watch the band play
Don't give a damn what the critics say
You've got to live for the music, don't you ever abuse it
(Chorus)
15. Coldheart
You always walk away when you see me coming down your street
The price I have to pay you won't see me again today
Out on the streets again now that I'm, I'm out on my own
This time I let you down, you say you're leaving this town
(Chorus)
You're a cold heart, ice cold heart ( 4 times)
Now you turn your back, I forgave you, you won't forgive me
The pressures building up, blinding my eyes I cannot see
The only vice I had was thinking about your body not your mind
But you're so insecure you really screwed me up I don't know why
(Chorus)
(Solo)
You always walked away when you saw me coming down your street
The price I had to pay you won't see me again today
I've got to find the door to let me through to pleasures untold
But you won't let me go your hearts in the way you're so ice cold
(Chorus)
16. Dirty Tricks
Don't take a chance or push your luck
Don't get too far
You won't win so don't you dream
You're no superstar
Take it straight feel the pain
You lost your voice
There's a place for your face
We've got no choice
(Chorus)
Dirty tricks you get your kicks
By using other people's money
Dirty tricks you get your kicks
By wasting other peoples time
Dirty tricks you get your kicks
You really use your honey
Dirty tricks you get your licks
Sending us all down under
Take the blame there's no shame
That's all you're worth
You lost your chance your last chance
To come down to earth
Those angry eyes tell no lies
Now you can't use her
Now you're gone we'll carry on
You can't refuse her
(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Chorus)
Don't take a chance or push your luck
A bit too far
You won't win so don't you dream
You're no superstar
Take it straight feel the pain
You lost your voice
There's a place for your face
We've got no choice
(Chorus)
17. (Night of) Long Shadows
18. Last Flight
