1. Creditcard Lover
Waiting for the day
When lies won’t be recalled in painful mourn
Some day
She’ll tell the truth and lay down in my arms
Right now she’s out all night
To play around with dirty games of love
Her rules will never ever change
She seeks the neon light
A spot where she’ll be watched and seen all night
She puts her deals into the range
No matter who you are
She’s gonna take you far
Cash or credit card
Straight or a bit bizarre
She’ll do it all
She’s gonna take you far
Can’t you find a way
A way to survive, to make your dreams come true
Some way
To get paid without getting laid at all
But still you’re out there in the fields
To hunt the creatures of the night
It’s wrecked and twisted minds you chase
You’re so excited
When they rape you with their eyes
This phony game
Looks like a never ending race
No matter who you are
She’s gonna take you far
Cash or credit card
Straight or a bit bizarre
She’ll do it all
She’s gonna take you far
But still you’re out there in the fields
To hunt the creatures of the night
It’s wrecked and twisted minds you chase
You’re so excited
When they rape you with their eyes
This phony game
Looks like a never ending race
No matter who you are
She’s gonna take you far
Cash or credit card
Straight or a bit bizarre
She’ll do it all
She’s gonna take you far
No matter who you are
She’s gonna take you far
Cash or credit card
Straight or a bit bizarre
She’ll do it all
She’s gonna take you far
Credit card lover
She’s gonna take you far
2. High On You
Don’t know right from left
Light a cigarette
And take a look at it all
The empty bottle’s smashed against the bedroom wall
Don’t know right from wrong
A never ending song
Pounding in my heart
The song of desperation’s played since yesterday
I’m alone in the night
Bound to your spell
I just can’t tell how I feel
I can see you’ve changed
You’re just not the same
I see no spell in your eyes
I can’t accept the fact that you’re not here tonight
Why did you walk out on me?
I just can’t see, and I disagree
I’ll still be...
High on you
I don’t know what to do
Cause I’ll never get through to you
High on you
Won’t you show me the way to your heart
Waiting by the phone
Even though I know
That you won’t give me a call
I pick it up but there is no-one there at all
I’m alone in the night
Bound to your spell
I just can’t tell how I feel
Words that I regret
Leave ‘em unsaid
They make no sense to me now
I guess it’s too late to repent and cry it out
Why did you walk out on me?
I just can’t see, and I disagree
I’ll still be...
High on you
I don’t know what to do
Cause I’ll never get through to you
High on you
Won’t you show me the way to your heart
High on you
I don’t know what to do
I wanna be good to you
High on you
Won’t you show me the way to your heart
Don’t know right from wrong
The same old crazy song
Pounding in my brain
The song of desperation played since yesterday
Why did you walk out on me?
I just can’t see, and I disagree
I’ll still be...
High on you
I don’t know what to do
Cause you won’t let me through to you
High on you
Won’t you show me the way to your heart
High on you
I don’t know what to do
I wanna be good to you
High on you
Won’t you show me the way to your heart
High on you
I don’t know what to do
Cause you won’t let me through to you
High on you
Won’t you show me the way to your heart
High on you
I don’t know what to do
I wanna be good to you
High on you
Won’t you show me the way to your heart
3. Down The Cross
On the shore we see the day of doom begin
We hear it coming through Atlantic summer winds
I felt Hell rise long before this mournful day
The Cross is weaker than before
The dawn of evil on the shore
On the horizon, through the haze, they quickly move
They’re coming closer every time I take a look
As I stand there taking the power in sight
I’m slowly dying ‘cause my time has come
I’m the Eagle and I’m done
Yeah, I’m on the run
Down, down the Cross
Down, down the Cross
The Cross is weaker now
Down, down the Cross
I said the Cross is weaker
Down, down the Cross
On the sixth day of the sixth month
We’re gonna lose
In bloody waters under nameless soldiers’ boots
But I’ll be back, yes, I’ll return in sweet revenge
I’ll appear again some day, some way
I’m the Eagle, I always win in the end
Down, down the Cross
Down, down the Cross
I said the Cross is weaker now
Down, down the Cross
I said the Cross is weaker now
Down, down the Cross
Down, down the Cross
Down, down the Cross
I said the Cross is weaker now
Down, down the Cross
I said the Cross is weaker
Down, down the Cross
4. Last Night
Memories
I just can’t see why you chase me every night
Cause I’ve felt the pain of the price to pay
And I’ve already paid too much
Nowhere to go
But I walk the road of the lost and never found
And if ache stops by my heart tonight
Again I’m going down
I did believe we had it all forever
I never thought we’d put out the fire
In your heart
But I’ve always played the fool
Memories
I’m on my knees, can’t you see what state I’m in?
Make me believe that time to be flown away
Along with the tears
I close my eyes to tell my mind
Tomorrow is another day
But you turn around and upside.down
And I just can’t stand anymore
I’m crying out to break the roaring silence
I don’t wanna hear my heart
As it’s torn apart
Last night
She said she’d think it over
Last night
I had no reason to despair
She said she couldn’t stay the night
And I knew she didn’t care
Cause she said
“Some day I’m gonna make it up to you”
Memories, memories
I just can’t see why you chase me every night
Won’t you please stay with me
Or will you be just a memory?
I still need you, dying just to see you
I’m crying out to break the roaring silence
I don’t wanna hear my heart
As it’s torn apart
Last night
She said she’d think it over
Last night
I had no reason to despair
She said she couldn’t stay the night
And I knew she didn’t care
She said
“Some day I’m gonna make it up to you”
Last night
She said she’d think it over
Last night
She said she couldn’t stay the night
And I knew she didn’t care
Cause she said
“Some day I’m gonna make it up to you”
Last night
She said she’d think it over
Last night
I had no reason to despair
She said she couldn’t stay the night
And I knew she didn’t care
Cause she said
“Some day I’m gonna make it up to you”
5. News On The Loose
The city awakes, it lives for today
We feel so secure
But life is a bore behind all these walls
We need some excitement for sure
Watching the news while you’re still in bed
The wheel of sensation turns around your head
Stay in its dream, believe what you see
And enjoy all the tears that the children shed
Gaze at the world in some kind of trance
Then you’re high on words of the Promised Land
You hit the rainbow through your TV set
Then you’re just flying high among the headlines of death
News has gone crazy, distorted and fantasy
Inside it’s shady and faking reality
Papers on fire
It’s burning desire for the wildest lines
It’s not news alright but they’re just part of a fight
Where the winner’s he who lies
But stay where you are, in your iron cage
Wasting your life, just give it away
You’re chained in words but you’ve still got time
To make your own dreams, but then you’re satisfied
News has gone crazy, distorted and fantasy
Inside it’s shady and faking reality
News is on the loose
Can’t tell the maker from the referee
News is on the loose
The lead is straight or was it bent?
News is on the loose
I saw the lies
Bewteen the lines
News is on the loose
Can’t tell the maker from the referee
News is on the loose
The lead is straight or was it bent?
News is on the loose
It’s out of control
There’s no way to hold on to the truth in life
The rumours in town are running around
‘Till they all end up with lies
But who wants to know what it’s really like
Out in the streets, when it’s safer inside
You needn’t know anything except what you see
By the break of dawn, in front of your TV
News has gone crazy, distorted and fantasy
Inside it’s shady and faking reality
News is on the loose
Can’t tell the maker from the referee
News is on the loose
The lead is straight or was it bent?
News is on the loose
I’m dragged around by my simplicity
News is on the loose
There’s more to life than meets the lens
News is on the loose
Can’t tell the maker from the referee
News is on the loose
The lead is straight or was it bent?
News is on the loose
I’m dragged around by my simplicity
News is on the loose
There’s more to life than meets the lens
News is on the loose
6. Point Of Uncontrol
Sneaking through the 80’s
Trying hard to survive the easy way
But you won’t escape
Cause you’re just too weak
Sliding down the razor
The blade is sharp and the edge is near
And it’s there to cut away your future dreams
We’ve build up an empire of flashing steel
It’s a nuclear shield
And we’re hiding deep inside
In silent fear
We can’t afford to lose the race
Cause if we pass the line and come in second rate
We’ll all be damned
At least that’s what they say
We’ve reached the point of uncontrol
We’ve reached the point of uncontrol
The madmen had us spellbound
Frustrated in the palm of their hands
And as love was left behind
We forgot how to cry
They’re guiding us through darkness
Protect our souls behind iron bars
And it’s clear for all to see
It’s defend or destroy
But can they still control it
Just one mistake and we’re blown away
In the war machine
We’re blown sky high
We’re sliding down the razor
The blade is sharp and the edge is near
And it’s there to cut your veins
And drain your blood
We’ve reached the point of uncontrol
We’ve reached the point of uncontrol
“There was a time, when the planet was a sophisticated net of perfection and harmony.
But that was long before human fear turned it into a silent ice cold desert, drifting around the universe for no obvious reason.
Destroyed and dead.
Civilised creatures in other worlds, let this be an example of an evolutionary mistake.
The only thinking animal.
Man.”
But still we trust this madness
Just one mistake and we’re blown away
Still we don’t wanna see
That it’s a mindless game
We’ve reached the point of uncontrol
We’ve reached the point of uncontrol
We’ve reached the point of uncontrol
We’ve reached the point of uncontrol
7. Sweet Georgia Brown
No gal made has got a shade on sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet but oh so neat, has sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and wanna die for sweet Georgia Brown
I’ll tell you just why, you know I don’t lie, not much
It’s been said she knocks ’em dead when she lands in town
Since she came, why, it’s a shame how she coos ’em down
Fellers she can’t get are fellers she ain’t met
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her
Sweet georgia brown
8. Wheelchair 'n' Ragtime (instrumental)
9. Gates To The Sky (Live)
Sixty-nine
Some years gone by
Since that night
When man broke the chains
That bound us to Earth
We found the way
To the sky
Ancient dreams
Jules Verne should have seen
Them come true
His heroes of then
Were born again
But this time they win
Gates to the sky
We entered them at night
Gates to the sky
One night in ‘69
Counting down
Down to the sound of ignition
Time was standing still
As the countdown hit ten
Last check on frequency
Restless breath
Your nerves on their knees
As they fly
The eyes of the world
Were watching them go
And I saw the show
Gates to the sky
We entered them at night
Gates to the sky
One night in ‘69
10. Hunted (Live)
No lights on the horizon
Only the sound of the silent waves
Ought to be here long ago
Send you another code
Noise getting closer far away
They all want to make you stay
But listen to your common sense
I say run, run, run
Don’t be caught at the end of the day
They might just kill you too
Don’t be caught in this winter night
The darkness will help you right through
Up ‘cross the hill, nowhere to go
There’s no peace in the valley below
So see the sign of the deep red cross
And feel the breath of the hunting wolves
But this is no running show
Don’t feel like Quasimodo
I know it seems like a big refrain
Never let it destroy your brain
Don’t be caught at the end of the day
They might just kill you too
Don’t be caught in this winter night
The darkness will help you right through
Inside yourself there is no light
Only the swells of the last big fight
And so there ain’t a thing to do
We can’t get into you
Don’t you know what’s going on
You’re still alive ‘cause you’ve got it all wrong
If this is just what it seems
Then now leave your dreams
So don’t be caught at the end of the day
They might just kill you too
Don’t be caught in this winter night
The darkness will help you right through
