1. Big Brother
You'll find us in the gutter
You pass us in the street
You really know us when you se us
You crush us with your feet
We're waiting, waiting for you
Big brother, he's coming through
We're biding, biding our time
Big brother, next in line
You'll find us in the future
When we are still alive
You know us when you see us
'Cause we're gonna survive
2. Take It Like A Man
Leading me on, you've been a bad, bad boy,
Betcha since you've been a kid you've been a mama's toy
I'm gonna teach you, you're going to learn,
Don't fool with me, I'm gonna make you burn
Little boy blue, take off your shoe,
Just come a little closer so my aim is true
I don't wanna do it gonna make you hop,
It's hurting me, is it hurting you?
Take it like a man, gonna do it all I can
Take it like a man, gonna do it all I can
Touch of the lash, you gotta discipline rash,
Six of the best bust, my leather strap,
I’m the master and you’re the slave,
Bend over son, your gonna be saved.
3. Nice Girl
Prawling round with beady eyes
Mister undercover
Late night brawls, street lights call
He don't need a lover
Misunderstood by womanhood
Mortgage is a millstone
Think of lies and alibis to cover up at home
Are you alright girl, for tonight girl
Just give a little. I'll give a lot
Are you a nice girl, Just-the-type girl
You've got the drug and I need a shot
Seedy hotels, crooked motels
Short-time letch, a special
Twilight-life as a ten minute wife
All so artificial
Rejected maligned by all mankind
Hypocrictic bullshit
Tell me who's rich, Now who's the bitch
Keep that red light lit
When the men come to town
When they're looking in the bars
and they're crawling in the cars
and they lay they're money down
When the men come to play
When their business day was done and they're looking for some fun
You take their money and you blow them away
4. Earth Mother
You grabbed me and whipped me and stretched me
Raw lines were crossed on my back
Teasing and taunting me, twisting my words
Eyes turning red fade to black
Earth Mother, help me
Bury me down there
Earth Mother, can't you see
Suck my breath of air
Snake like you kissed me and chained me
Treachery barred my escape
Surrender to destiny, death for all time
Eternal light, losing faith
5. Vice Versa
She was a real two timer,
She knew I'd never leave,
She thought that she could make it,
I could never believe,
She looked so healthy,
And she looked so clean,
But when she got to bite you,
Was she mean.
Vice Versa
She could roll you over,
And make you blind,
She could say things to astound,
The dirtiest mind,
She looked so healthy,
And she looked so clean,
But when she got to bite you,
Was she mean.
6. Bright Lights
Speeding on the highway, bright lights on the road
Looking for a woman for the night, gonna shoot my load
Rocking and rolling on the mainspring, feeling a smile flash by
Roll her to the left, roll her to the right, get high tonight
Bright lights
Running faster than you
Bright lights
How does it feel to be through?
Fancy 5 a.m. the sun is in the trees again
Coming back to hit the town, gonna kick the hammer down
Speaking in my head, waking up in bed, sweating, shaking with fright
Roll her to the left, roll her to the right tonight
7. Walking Out On You
Walking out on you
Easy Chairs, and an easy life
That's what I want from you,
Just one rich bitch, for an easy wife,
Don't wanna do nothing new.
Loving you, came so easily,
When you laid your money down,
Wouldn't bite the hand, that was, feeding me,
Until you'd pay for my crown.
Living free, came so easily,
When you laid your body down,
I led the way, and you, gave to me
Everything you ever had.
Walking out on you
Walking out on you
8. Hammerhead
A story is told, that in Asgard of old,
Was a hammer of great might
By the furnace light in the depth of night
They cast an ingot bold.
They hammered and wrought and the rune spell caught
And engraved upon its shaft,
With a head of steel beneath which all men would kneel,
And would lay down the sword, at last.
Middle 8
They laid on the anvil, a steel cold bar,
Needed no fire nor file
But their sledgehammers following, like thunder rolled
And Sindre, sang runes by the fire.
Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind
Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind
9. Riding With The Angels
Katie was a kid, I guess she hid her thoughts from everyone
Went to school at eight, she was never late
Didn't know the meaning of fun
Every night Katie prayed to God above
But her daddy gave her everything but love
She woke up one day, said: "I'm on my way"
Her mummy read the letter, It did say:
"I'm on my way, I'm on my way"
Riding with the angels
She's having fun fun fun
Rode around and every boy in town tried to win her back
It was no go, cause she rode with Joe, he was the leader of the pack
People ran for cover when they rolled to town
The night was black, rain on the ground
Engines scream, running too fast
They knew the ride would be there last
They're on their way,
They're on their way
Riding with the angels
She's having fun fun fun
10. Gravy Train
