1. Back At The Funny Farm
Hammer pounding in my heart, I think it´s gonna burst,
Spring unwinding in my head, I don´t know which is worse,
I hear you talking but the words are kinda strange,
One of us is crazy and the other one´s insane
Stay Calm, don´t be alarmed, it´s just a holiday,
Back At The Funny Farm
Nothing in this cold white room to help me recognise,
I don´t understand why everyone is in disguise,
I gotta leave right now, I can´t stay here no more,
But I´m afraid to try in case they lock the door
Can´t find no windows but I gotta get outside,
Can you help me stand it feels like both my legs have died,
What was that injection ´cos I think it´s going wrong,
I really like this jacket but the sleeves are much too long
2. Shine
Hard time gettin´ to ya babe,
Double take, figure real rough trade
But you know I´m a real good lover,
Can´t judge a book by the cover,
I know, and you know I know,
Can´t trust your intuition no more.
Look good and I make you smile,
Bet ya thought I wouldn´t have no style,
I´m gonna turn your head around,
Won´t know til you hit the ground,
Gonna change the way you feel,
I´m gonna roll ya like a wheel.
CHORUS:
High life, I´m a fool for you
Low life, like to break the rules,
First bite, you know I got a taste for you,
I´m gonna make you shine.
Be a switch to say the last,
My beauty gonna meet your beast,
Comin´ over and shake your tree,
My body gonna set you free
I know, and you know it´s true,
More over I´m comin´ through
CHORUS
It´s over and I got you down
Gonna chase you round and round,
Mess around with the way you feel,
Gonna offer you a whole new deal,
Gonna lay it on ya just for kicks,
Down on ya like a ton of bricks.
CHORUS
3. One Track Mind
One arm bandit, one way ride,
One arm bandit, one more try,
One way ticket, one horse town,
One way ticket, no way down,
One Track Mind (x4)
Two lane highway, two hand car,
Two lane highway, too damn far,
Two faced women, two time guys,
Two faced women, two black eyes,
One Track Mind (x4)
Three time loser, break the law,
Three time loser, two bit whore,
Three ring circus, free form show,
Three ring circus, way to go,
One Track Mind (x4)
4. Overkill
Only way to feel the noise is when it´s good and loud,
So good you can´t believe it´s screaming with the crowd,
Don´t sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill
On your feet you feel the beat, it goes straight to your spine,
Shake your head you must be dead if it don´t make you fly,
Don´t sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill
Know your body´s made to move, feel it in your guts
Rock ´n´ roll ain´t worth the name if it don´t make you strut,
Don´t sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill
5. Limb From Limb
Well I've never done nothing,
That's ever gonna shame my life,
Come around any time you like honey,
There ain't no shame in my bed at night
Long legged lover,
I'm gonna rip you Limb From Limb,
Get you smashed as a rat in some bar,
Sink my claws into your velvet skin
Harsh, cruel words babe,
They're gonna cut me like a knife,
I don't care what the hell you call me,
But are ya still coming round tonight?
6. Iron Fist
Dark night nothing to see
Invisible hand in front of me
Scared to death there's someone near
Scared to move but you can't stay here
You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepared to die
You know me, the snake-bite kiss
Devils grip, the iron fist
Flying horse don't make a sound
Flying hooves don't touch the ground
Walk in circle lose your track
Can't go on but you can't go back
You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepared to die
You know me, the snake-bite kiss
Devils grip, the iron fist
Moon eclipse and you know why
Ghost rider in the sky
Beast of evil devil hound
Tooth and claw they pull you down
You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepared to die
You know me, the snake-bite kiss
Devils grip, the iron fist
7. (Don't Need) Religion
I don't need no blind belief
I don't need no comic relief
I don't need to see the scars
I don't need Jesus Christ Superstar
Don't need no Sunday Television
Ya bet your life I don't need religion
I don't need no time for prayer
Don't save no knee-pads for me up there
If your head's alright, ya don't need binoculars to see the light
Ya don't need no miracle vision
Ya bet your life you don't need religion
I don't need no Santa Claus
And I don't believe in fairies no more
I don't need to go to confession
I'm already trying to fight depression
I don't need no exorcism
Bet ya life I don't need religion
8. (Don't Let 'Em) Grind Ya Down
People gonna make ya wonder if you're right
Keep ya wide awake and worried late at night
Why don't ya tell 'em to beat it
Why don't ya tell 'em to eat it
Just a bunch of clowns
Don't let 'em grind ya down
Sons of bitches, crocodile tears in their eyes
We scare 'em shitless just by showin' up alive
Why don't you tell 'em to shove it
They might as well love it
Give you runaround
Don't let'em grind ya down
Evil bastards ain't got nothin' else to do
Make your life a misery and put you off your food
Don't you dare to go under
Don't let 'em steal your thunder
Listen to the sound
Well let 'em grind that down
9. Bomber
Ain't a hope in hell,
Nothing's gonna bring us down,
The way we fly,
Five miles off the ground,
Because we shoot to kill,
And you know we always will,
It's a Bomber
Scream a thousand miles,
Feel the black death rising moan,
Firestorm coming closer,
Napalm to the bone,
Because, you know we do it right,
A mission every night,
It's a Bomber
No night fighter,
Gonna stop us getting through,
The sirens make you shiver,
You bet my aim is true,
Because, you know we aim to please,
Bring you to your knees,
It's a Bomber
10. The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
You know I'm bad, the times I've had,
I've got a bad reputation,
I don't care, I get my share,
Don't feel no deprivation,
The more I get the better it is,
I like it fine, like a little whizz,
Treat 'em like ladies, that's a fact,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
Silver tounged devil, demon lech,
You know just what I'm doing,
I like a little innocent bitch,
You know I ain't just screwing,
I love you baby, love you too much,
I like it fine, I feel your touch,
But your appearance don't hold no class,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
A little beauty, I love you madly,
Come on home with me,
I know you're hot, I know what you've got,
You know I want to shake your tree,
Come on honey, touch me right there,
Come on honey, don't you get scared,
Come on honey, let me get you in the sack,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
All right! Let me hear ya!
I can't hear ya!
11. Capricorn
A thousand nights, I've spent alone,
Solitaire, to the bone,
But I don't mind, I'm my own best friend,
From the beginning, to the end,
My life, my heart, black night, dark star, Capricorn
December's child, the only one,
What I do, is what I've done,
I realise, I get so cold,
When I was young I was already old,
My life, my heart, black night, dark star, Capricorn
I always knew, the only way,
Is never live, beyond today,
They proved me right,
They proved me wrong,
But they could never last this long,
My life, my heart, black night, dark star, Capricorn
12. Dirty Love
I could use some dirty love
You can't abuse my dirty love
That's what I need, to satisfy my greed
Come on over with your dirty love
I want to taste some dirty love
Don't want to waste your dirty love
Whatever you got, you bet your life I want the lot
I want to grab your dirty love
I gotta have your dirty love
I gotta have your dirty love
I'll show you the way, to dirty love all night all day
I'm gonna treat you to some dirty love
Right now
13. (I Won't) Pay Your Price
Move out it's time for someone else
Quit thinking only of yourself,
You know you're a nasty piece of work,
You know you thought you were a hero but
you're really just a jerk,
On my way, you know I Won't Pay Your Price
Don't stop me dontcha even try,
Gonna stick my finger in your eye,
You don't deserve my admiration,
And I'll sling you out the window
if you give me aggravation,
On my way, you know I Won't Pay Your Price
I'm tired of listening to crap,
I'd rather stab you in the back,
I'm telling you the only real reason that
you ain't got it is 'cos skunk is outta season,
On my way, you know I Won't Pay Your Price
Shut the door behind you when you go,
Why you're still here I don't really know,
I'm gonna count up to three and if you're still here
I'll get a gun and blow away your knees,
On my way, you know I Won't Pay Your Price
14. Snaggletooth
Though I was done for now, well here's a big surprise
'Cos I keep coming back, I can't be exorcised
I'm like a nightmare babe, I'm here to mess with you
I'll make your hair stand up and I'll make your lips turn blue
I'm gonna raise your roof
Ring your bell and that's the truth
Speed don't kill and I'm the proof
Just call me Snaggletooth
I've just been waiting here, and you were late again,
But I knew you'd be back, I hoped you'd bring a friend
I want you to believe that there is no way out
You're in the snakepit, babe, there's a lot of it about
I'm gonna raise your roof
Ring your bell and that's the truth
Speed don't kill and I'm the proof
Just call me Snaggletooth
So now you know my name, I guess you realise
Don't try to fight babe, I got you hypnotised
And sometime late tonight you'll hear the were wolf call
Gonna be old Snaggletooth gotcha by the bals!
I'm gonna raise your roof
Ring your bell and that's the truth
Speed don't kill and I'm the proof
Just call me Snaggletooth
