1. Shellshock
Wakey, wakey...
Hated you for far too long, you're just so damn polite
You've been screaming , shouting all night long
That you we've gotta get wrecked tonight...
I don't know when to stop... I just can't get enough...Shellshock!
It's getting late in the evening, I can't wait to turn the lights out...
Come down from the ceiling, don't stop just burn me out...
I don't know when to stop, I just can't get enough...Shellshock!
Some of the things you do... I just don't understand
But those strange things that you do... must mean I'm going mad
I don't know when to stop... I just can't get enough...Shellshock!
Those strange things that you give to me you give me...Shellshock!
2. Steppin' on a Landmine
We're rolling around, in a high street gutter
Not one single blow of defense can we offer
We're picked up by one, to be kicked down by another
Do we have to put up with thus all through the summer...
Steppin' on a landmine, give them enough time and they will(Repeat)
We breed a race of hooligans, to fight for the nation
No-one told them it's a Noble occupation
But never you mind boys, stick to your stations
How can we run this mad house without no patients
Steppin' on a landmine, give them enough time... and they will(repeat) we're rolling etc...
Steppin' on a landmine, give them enough time and they will.
3. Blood, Guts and Beer
Blood, Guts and Beer...I got a friend real close to me
With the biggest plane you've ever seen and he likes to use it quite a lot
Just look around and you will see why he isn't scared to me
Just tell him when to stop. What's inside me? Blood, Guts and Beer
If you wonder why he don't look pleased he just caught that new disease
Said "she's coming back to me" but now she's not Well she finally says to me
Well we'll just have to see how long it takes for skin to rot
What's inside me? Blood, Guts and Beer, Blood, Guts and Beer, Blood, Guts and Beer
When he broke down in tears I just couldn't believe my ears I could've used a mirage
I gotta get out, you gotta get out...all right I gotta get out, you gotta get out...tonight
What's inside me? Blood, Guts and Beer, Blood, Guts and Beer, Blood, Guts and Beer
What's inside me? Blood, Guts and Beer, Blood, Guts and Beer, Blood, Guts and Beer
4. Run Like Hell
Yeah!!! Roll me over and let me see I wanna watch them suffer all these people lookin' down at me
It really make me shudder, they wont explain how their face doesn't look quite the same
Just who is to blame? We'll be hiding just before they take aim
Run Like Hell, they're comin' at me again Run Like Hell. They're lookin' at me again Run Like Hell
Be a hero, you romantic fool. What makes you so special?
Show off your medal you brought back from school a worthless piece of metal
They wont explain how their face doesn't look quite the same
Just who is to blame? We'll be hiding just before they take aim
Run Like Hell, they're comin' at me again Run Like Hell. They're lookin' at me again Run Like Hell
Run Run Run Run Run Run
Cross the boarder to the land of the free you still think it's clever? to let them keep on torturing me
I just hope I never. See you alone When you're walkin' the streets on your own, your own
Just leave me alone You'll be dead long before you get home
Run Like Hell, they're comin' at me again Run Like Hell They're lookin' at me again Run Like Hell
Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Like Hell Run Run Run Run Run Run
5. Don't Walk Away
Get down six feet under
I wish she would, your fat blanket mother
She growls and roars like thunder
A mouth so big, the eighth world wonder
She wants me to throw her daughter away
And pick her up instead...
Don't walk away (Don't walk away)
Don't walk away (Don't walk away)
Yes another cunning plot, to get me under her covers
Dior stockings and nothing on top
She ain't like a normal mother
I wish I was a million miles away
So I can't hear her say...
Don't walk away (Don't walk away)
Don't walk away (Don't walk away)
Don't don't walk away
Don't don't walk away
Don't don't walk away
When will this dreadful nightmare end?
I really don't want another
That fat blanket woman drives me round and bend
How can you get lower when hell is in the gutter
I wish I was a million miles away
So I can't hear her say...
Don't walk away (Don't walk away)
Don't walk away (Don't walk away)
Don't walk away (Don't walk away)
Don't walk away (Don't walk away)
6. Filth Hounds of Hades
They come out of the woodwork, every time that we're around,
When we play some crumbling ruin, they help us to bring it down,
They're the ones with their hands up, the ones that never let us go,
They'd rather sell their mothers, than miss the gig in Glasgow.
They'll be there Shane, Mick and Flash out there somewhere,
They'll be there Shane, Mick and Flash out there somewhere, where are the Filth Hounds.
They do all the hard work for us, all we do is stand up here,
They know all the words and every chorus, shout them out loud clear,
Out there somewhere, are some people we'll soon get to know,
Some more people who'll sell their mothers, than miss the gig in Glasgow.
They'll be there Shane, Mick and Flash out there somewhere,
They'll be there Shane, Mick and Flash out there somewhere, where are the Filth Hounds,
Where are the Filth Hounds, Where are the Filth Hounds...
7. Stormtrooper
Why does everybody laugh? They just won't understand
When she walks down the street why they're tearing apart a poor broken heart
She's the nicest woman you could meet She don't know what he's supposed to be fighting for
She don't know that it's the last thing he'll say to this world
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper, He fell in love with a Stormtrooper, He fell in love with a Stormtrooper, He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He's always spewing his guts out, he knows it won't stop He always gets the bottle but not the last drop
He gets out of the sun and the enemy lines but no one knows what he does between the landmines
He don't know what he's supposed to be fighting for
He don't know that it's the last thing he'll say to this world You bet'cha
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper, He fell in love with a Stormtrooper, He fell in love with a Stormtrooper,
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper.... Yes he did, yes he did
Why does everybody laugh? They just wont understand
When she walks down the street why they're tearing apart a poor broken heart
she's the nicest woman you could meet she don't know what he's supposed to be fighting for
She don't know that it's the last thing he'll say to this world
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper, He fell in love with a Stormtrooper, He fell in love with a Stormtrooper, He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
