1. Dirty Faced Angels
They blind your mind
You're mama's blued eyed boy
They make you eat something
That you don't enjoy
Bridge
I heard the thunder as I fell from the sky
Too young to worry and to old to cry
The sound of the city is a lonely song
The broke my wings and said I didn't belong
Chorus
Angels! Dirty Faced Angels
Angels! Fallen far from grace
Angels! Dirty faced angels
Angels! Broken wings are gonna get me down
Got a fractured halo
I'm the prodigal son
I'm a social cancer
I'm on the business end of this gun
Bridge
Chorus
Solo
Bridge
Chorus
2. Make it Through the Night
You captured love in your every motion
I'm sinking fast in your lonely ocean
You're a siren of the night
And I'm sailing to your light
To your light...
The one and only in a slow motion dream
This love of ours will never fade away
I call to you with a silent scream
Stay with me for another day
Bridge
I'm cloud cruising when I'm in your arms
You took me in with your feline charms
You hit me low, that's a physical thing
You got a tongue like a scorpion sting
Chorus
Can we make it (Make it) through the night
Is it real or just s dream
Can we make it (Make it) through the night
Together, we're gonna be alright
We keep running but we go nowhere
You move me but you're standing still
We take it slow and then we're there
Take a step at a time to the top of the hill
Bridge
Chorus
Solo
Bridge
Chorus
3. Always
I never made it past the bedroom door
I was stone cold sober when I hit the Floor
I didn't want it to happen like this
You shot me down with a laser kiss
Bridge
I felt it coming, I got a clue in my shoe
Well I'll always love you no matter what you do
Chorus
'Cos I'll always
Always love you
'Cos I'll always
Always Love you
Another town and another face
I left my heart beating in a suitcase
I didn't want it to happen like this
You shot me down with a laser kiss
Bridge
Solo
4. Lovin' You is an Easy Thing To Do
ain't talking about love baby
I ain't talking jive
I saw your reflection in my beer glass
You were trying to stay alive
Bridge
We were made for each other
Never be another
Oh it's just those simple things
That get me ready to roll
Bridge
Lovin' you is an easy thing to do
I never knew you felt the same way too
The way you move just drives me crazy
You're a smooth operator
You're dancing, romancing
There's no second chancing
Your love bites like an alligator
Bridge
Chorus
Solo
Bridge
Chorus
5. Undercover Honeymoon
Kiss the bride and make her cry
Sugar daddy sold her an alibi
The bridal gown was of second hand lace
You should have seen her mothers face
Bridge
On lovers lane we had a hell of a time
The sex police call it a crime
You can run from the system
Stumble and fall
It's all or nothing or nothing at all
Chorus
Undercover honeymoon
Secrets in a motel room
Undercover honeymoon
Who said I was a loony tune
Champagne serenade
Brahms and Lizst in the cool of the shade
With a side step shuffle
I was back for more
Walking like a sailor like ship to shore
Bridge
Chorus
Solo
6. You Are the Heart
Maybe I can find a way of saying
That your love still shines for me and lights the way
And you're closer to my heart
I hear you calling
Two worlds apart
So close and far away
Bridge
Well I'll catch when you fall
I'll be there when you call
When you're drowning in your tears
Don't hide behind your fears
Chorus
You are the heart
You are the soul
You are the song
We'll come together now
We will be strong
You are the heart
You are the soul
You are the song
The past is over
So let's carry on
Standing hand in hand we are united
Together we're the hope inside the song
Bridge
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
7. Blackhearts and Jaded Spades
In the subways the creatures crawl to the sound of music
Of hunger and pain
Urban wasteland of human suffering
The new disease
Microchips in your brain
Bridge
You got the money
We got the muscle
You call it murder
Well it's just another hustle
Is this murder or some high street funky hustle
Chorus
Blackhearts and jaded spades
Street rats and jungle raids
Blackhearts and jaded spades
Hot shots in mirror shades
Run for cover my gypsy lover
Your fatal kiss burns like fire and flame
Called survival and you're my rival
No shotgun wedding will save you the shame
Bridge
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
8. Tough Guys Tumble
A little girl on a street corner
Worth nothing with diamond eyes
A little boy who lives in a nightmare
Daddy's gonna feed him the tears he cries
Bridge
A thousand broken dreams
Running through my mind
We'll rise above the screams
We'll be cruel to be kind
Chorus
When the tough guys tumble
The city's gonna rumble
When the tough guys tumble
The city's gonna rumble
A lullaby song for the children
He's the star of the story, is a circus clown
He's the guy with s chip on his shoulder
He's the guys that's running the town
Bridge
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
9. Dancing in Blue Moonlight
She smiles at me
Undercover of a cigarette
I'm alone in the cool night
Trying to forget
Bridge
The flame of passion
Is burning in my heart
Blue moon rising
Another shot in the dark
Chorus
Dancing in blue moonlight
The splendour of the night overshadows the day
Dancing in blue moonlight
Let the morning carry you away
Steal away
To a place that we both know
Surrender to the moon and the sirens tune
When the fire's burning low
Bridge
Chorus
Solo
Bridge
Chorus
10. Playroom of Poison Dreams
Carousel of story time
Children slumber in distant rhymes
Sleepwalk of the living dead
The rocking horse rears it's head
Midnight masquerade
Tin soldiers on parade
A chill sweeps the children's room
Colder than their mothers womb
Chorus
In the playroom of poison dreams
I hear the children's poison screams
The mystery is burning on and on
Bridge
We see the truth inside the lie
I'm the spider, you're the fly
The children see the meaning of the song
And what's wrong, yeah
Shadows fall across the wall
A toy soldier bugle calls
Nursery serenity
Shattered by obscenity
Puppets dance with burning strings
A china doll sits up and sings
Released from the statues stance
Reborn in human form
Chorus
Bridge
Solo
Whoa - whoa - oh oh
11. Monkey's Blood
Monkeys blood running through my veins
Funky junkies with babies brains
Sticking needles in the heart of the city
Little girls who once were pretty
Chorus
Ooh baby! It hurts so good
Hallelujah!
I got monkeys blood
I got monkeys blood
Vaccination is a four letter word
Perspiration from a small town turd
Jungle Jimmy is a high school retard
Sexy Suzy's on a picture postcard
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
