1. Running Out
Words & music by Atkins/Hammer
Don't need no one to tell me what to do
I won't let anybody see me through
Won't let them blind my vision
I'll make my own decisions
No one to interrupt my point of view
No way
Oh no
Don't let no one invade my sanity
Or steal away my own humanity
It ain't no false illusion
They'll leave me with confusion
And try to penetrate my privacy
Too late
I'm a free man
Too late
Feels so good inside yeah
Too late
They can't tame me
Too late
Finally see the light
Running out for love
I'm tired of living among this human race
So insecure I feel so out of place
Don't need no constitution
Religious revolution
Don't need no desert wars or money race
Too late.........
Running out for love
Time after time in a world of decline without love
Where do you go when you know
That the crystal has cracked
And there's no turning back no retreat
I close my eyes in the rain and I hope
Running out
Running out
I'm running out
2. Who Said Money
Words & music by Atkins/Hammer
I ain't got no money
No expensive toys
I ain't no jet set junkie
I'm a punky little unemployed
Got no passion wagon
Get no easy rides
But I do have a trick up mu sleeve yeah
And a heart of gold inside
Comes around and goes around
Always changing hands
Now who said money money
What buys you diamond rings
Won't buy you friends
Life ain't easy living
Always strapped for cash
But I don't give up I don't give in
To me it's all a gas
Got no foxy lady
Wear no fancy suit
Money'll change your thinking
and spoil your attitude
Comes around............
Chorus
Now who said money money
Who said money
Well, I just want some simple common sense
Now who said money money
Who said money money
What buys you diamond rings
Won't buy you friends
I'm so cold in hand
Money has power
A stairway to the stars
On the top of the tower
Everything is so God damn bizarre
Comes around and goes around
Money
I say money comes around
Money goes around
Money comes around
[Chorus]
3. Nightmare In The Neighbourhood
Words & music by Atkins/Hammer
A roaring silence fills the city
There's a sense of fear
Only the stars are God's eyes
And the moon glows so clear
When your bets are off
It's no pleasure cruise
It takes all your guts
To make it through
Oh yeah
Hear the cries of a woman
A broken-hearted angle
A shotgun rings out
Set fire to the sky
Lovers and gamblers
Trying to make a score
Lowlife adventures
Crash a liquor store
[Chorus]
Nightmare in the neighbourhood
Nasty little neighbours
Nightmare in the neighbourhood
Nightmare in the neighbourhood
Nasty little neighbours
Nightmare in the neighbourhood
In the hour of darkness
We're facing a moment of truth
The world shows its anger
Its pain and its lies
Snowbirds and crackers
Spaced out on dope
Dance on the edge
Of a six feet bungalow
[Chorus]
Trapped in this twisted place
No one will hear your prayers
it fills me with disgrace
Got to get
Got to get out of here
There's a rumour on Main Street
Some one shot the breeze
A young kid had an O.D.
In a shooting gallery
[Chorus]
I'm talking about neighbours
4. Sin-Decade
Words & music by Atkins/Hammer
We break on through
And step into a new decade
With no regrets for the mistakes
We've made
Prophets and preachers warning
There'll be hell to pay
What do we care anyway
Unfaithful children
Whose blood runs cold
All mighty kingdom
Immortal souls
[Chorus]
Figure it out
We're guilty of the crimes that we create
Figure it out
We rush into another sin-decade
The millions living on
The seven deadly sins
Thinking salvation
Must be close at hand
Godforsaken fools
Born to break the rules
Our fate is written in the sand
Unfaithful children.........
[Chorus]
Face Armageddon
You're trapped in the hands of time
Pray for confession
Accused of the fatal crime
[Chorus]
5. Come On Tough, Come On Nasty
Words & music by Atkins/Hammer
Hey you could be mine
Does it hurt baby
Lay it on the line
Jealousy burns yeah
Don't hide your fascination
If won't change the way you feel
[Chorus]
Come on tough, come on nasty
Come on babe it's a free ride
Say you will come on catch me
Come on babe we got all night
You know what I want
What I need so make it bleed
Fire all your guns
Shoot at me
Cut my heart out
Make me scream and shout
Leave you in a trail of passion
I got my wicked ways
[Chorus]
Love can be so vain
And baby lock your heart in chains
But in this naughty little game
(and love enslaves you)
Love will find a way
Love strikes you
Delights you
Excites you so
Come on tough...
6. Raise Your Flag
Words & music by Atkins/Hammer
He's an outlaw
On a dead end street
Has no choice no road to follow
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Today's like tomorrow
Oh he's building up inside
Danger in the air
One fatal shot in the street fight
[Chorus]
Raise your flag
Show your colour
All you've got is yourself
Don't turn your back
On your brother
Put your trust in nobody else
Under surveillance
Put in the frame
Doing time in a crossbar hotel
Took his freedom
Took his name
Took his ambitions away
No one could hold him down
He couldn't take it any longer
Raised in a criminal play-ground
[Chorus]
Walking the street as soldier
Day in day out
No one to lend a shoulder
Inside outside all the same
[Chorus]
7. Credit Card Lover
Words & music by Atkins/Hammer
Alright
Check this out
Cat eyes sending dirty looks
She can read your heart
Like an open book
Gets you excited
Putting on a show
When temperatures rise
It's a green light go
She walks the way she talks it
Can't you see
She's shooting like a rocket
Dangerously yeah
[Chorus]
And she'll rock your world around and round
Turn you upside down
She's a credit card lover
Walking undercover
Looking for another
Piece of the action tonight
Now she's all right
Down the sidewalk
The people stop and stare pay a fifty bucks
For a short-time affair
Moonlight queen
That bitch is bad to the bone
She won't let no one
Steal away her throne
She walks the way
[Chorus]
She'll start you up
She'll make your motor run
So hot
She'll turn you on
Ain't she amazing
Now ain't she sweet
She'll make your heart beat faster
Than the speed of light
Now check her out
See her coming
She's gonna rock your world
8. Know It Ain't Easy
Words & music by Atkins/Hammer
I never thought that love would cut so deep
I guess I need a little understanding
And I wonder if the ends will meet
Can't stop this heartache
From coming my way
I've had enough I'm leaving
She said and walked away
Left me broken-hearted weeping
Tears will fall like rain today
Don't like these games you're playing
Well, easy come and easy go
I don't like these words you're saying
Am I paying the price of love?
[Chorus]
You know it ain't easy
To leave someone you love
It takes more than a feeling
To leave someone you love
Yeah, sure it does
Don't have to say you're sorry
That the two of us are breaking up
No you don't even have to say you worry
'Cause I refuse to give it up
Don't like these games....................
[Chorus]
I'm a prisoner to love
Do you really want to see me hurt
Now does it have to be that complicated
Can't you see my heart is bleeding girl
I can't believe it baby
I can't believe it baby oh no
[Chorus]
9. Healing Touch
Words & music by Atkins/Hammer
I'm hooked on you; you've got hooks in me
My shooting star my satisfaction guarantee
You've got me blinded
Those bedroom eyes
I shiver and I shake
I'm feeling hypnotized
Mine all mine
Secret love
Mine all mine
Mine all mine
Guardian angel
Mine all mine
[Chorus]
You've got that healing touch
Magic charm
Baby blow me down
Healing touch
Magic charm
Spin my heart around
Love's squeezing tight
Human desire
Sweet tongues of fire
The way you wet your lips oh
The way you shake your hips
Baby babe I like your dirty tricks
So come on
Mine all mine
[Chorus]
Some say you're obscene
Got a nasty reputation
But I'm hungry for you
Don't give a damn
About their stupid conversations
'Cause I do what I do
Got to do it
Mine all mine...
[Chorus]
10. In the Flesh
Words & music by Atkins/Hammer
Me and the boys are bound for trouble
Cruising the city round the midnight hour
Just went out to get a couple
Of whisky shots to light my fire-power
Every now and then
We got a little to go
Every now and then
We got some money to burn
Every now and then
We're getting ready for love
[Chorus]
In the flesh
Here we are and we're for real
Flesh
Come on baby touch and feel
In the flesh
Hearts and engines in the night
In the flesh
Rebels in a sea of light
See we ain't no Valentinos
You see we ain't no blue-eyed Romeos
Hello you sexy ballerina
Little Miss Roundheels, we want you so
Every now and then...
[Chorus]
And we don't need no doctor's orders
Love is like heroin there's much in store
Don't even lock up your daughters
We'll smash the windows and kick the doors
Every now and then...
[Chorus]
11. Please Don't Leave Me (John Sykes cover)
Words & music by Lynott/Sykes
In the summer we'd be crazy
We'd fool around all the time
Oh how I loved that girl
When she was mine
But now she'd left me
For another guy
And it really brought me down
For without that girl
I was lost and found
Oh darling please don't hurt me this way
Oh darling please don't leave me
Oh darling please don't hurt me this way
Oh darling please don't leave me
Now I get messed up
And I fool around
But there's no fun anymore
They say times must change
But I'm not so sure
Lost lovers of summer
As we go our separate way
Remember memories you owe
Won't bring back those special days
[Chorus]
