1. Stagefright
Hand at my throat, they're ready to strike,
I serve those demons buried alive, buried alive,
I'm just another victim to feed the night,
I need you - to survive,
Like a man posessed, still I search,
I steal, all that I will need, I will need,
I'll travel the four corners of this Earth,
Never to know - if I'll succeed,
The first notes of music, you're on the floor,
Spotlight taking hold of me,
But as the band give you more and more,
My eyes - no longer see,
Spotlight - Stagefright
Spotlight - Stagefright
Stagefright - fright
I hear my voice, it's not the one I know,
Forgive me, if I start to choke, I start to choke,
My neck feels tight, I try to turn and go,
I'm caught - by their rope,
The first notes of music, you're on the floor,
Spotlight taking hold of me,
But as the band give you more and more,
My eyes - no longer see,
Spotlight - Stagefright - Fright
2. Doing The Right Thing
Everybody's out tonight
They look so happy,
All having a good time
Wish it could be me,
Even now I remember
What I want to forget,
Keep telling myself now
It was all for the best,
Am I doing the right thing,
Can't make a mistake,
Am I doing the right thing,
Don't say that it's too late, too late,
I just sit here waiting,
Feeling like I used to do,
It's cold outside and it's raining,
But I want to come and see you,
How could I let you go
Say goodbye so easily,
The best love I've ever known
I need you beside me,
Am I doing the right thing,
Can't make a mistake,
Am I doing the right thing,
Don't say that it's too late, too late
3. Would Not Be Seen Dead In Heaven
Well there's one place that I don't wanna go,
And even if I went there,
there'd be nobody that I know,
No, I can't see myself with halo & wings,
I wanna go below where they do horny things,
You know, I would not be seen dead in heaven,
You know, I would not be seen there at all,
You know, I would not be seen dead in heaven,
You know, I would not be seen there at all,
Not a chance, no way, no how,
If heaven's so great, then why don't you go,
I'd rather fry, than be part of your show,
I'm not a little angel I never will be,
I'm not a little devil, not yet, but I could be,
Repeat chorus
Up there chasing pretty angels, is just no go,
Instead of arrows I'd rather shoot my cocoa,
Don't wanna join their choir, I wouldn't get far,
I'll form a helluva band, and play lead guitar,
Repeat chorus
4. Wake Up Screaming
Evil eye I can't see why - I'm burning - burning
Timeless vault - here inside - imprisoned within,
Midnight phantoms - they tear apart - the edge of my mind - edge of my mind,
They're clawing me - Demon grasp - from a future time
Wake up screaming - every night - I'm screaming - screaming
Suspended here - rest of my life - between Heaven and Hell
I'm in flames - I'm in flames - go away - go away
Repeat verse one
5. Big Deal
It's Saturday night, we're top of the bill,
It's only the pub down the road, but we're still dressed to kill - and we will,
It's thirty five quid, let's put on a big show,
There's some record guys to see us, but I bet they don't show,
Come in take a seat boys, while we take control of you
We're goin' to have lots of fun y'know, and plenty of women too,
You'll all be millionaires next week, everything's for real,
It's the chance of a lifetime - big deal - it's your big deal,
We packed up our jobs, overnight we were pro,
Straight on support tour, after a phone call from Joe,
The roadcrew went first, to give them plenty of time,
The PA was already set yp, but where's our bloody backline,
Chorus
All in it together, we're all one big show,
But when the soundman wants another fiver, he's just gotta go,
We're at the Marquee, our legs turn to jelly,
Oh Christ! Where's our bass player? At home watching telly,
Chorus
What big deal
6. Moon Magic
See the moon above the stars
Bright lights shining in your eyes,
You're off on a night ride now
She's got us all hypnotised,
Have you ever tried to hold her
Could you gaze at her forever,
If you cross your heart of gold
She'll cross your palm with silver,
There's no reason to doubt it,
There's no reason to doubt it,
It's moon magic, moon magic,
Some night when you're all alone,
And the lights playing tricks,
Don't be afraid if you turn cold
You'll know it's only moon magic,
It's the force of the heavens,
Always looking after you,
Ask the man, Ask Isis,
It's moon magic, it's nothing new,
Chorus
Moon, moon, moon magic
7. In The Stars
Does your head rule your heart
Are you lucky in love,
Do you look to the devil
Or the heavens above,
Well you know there's a chance,
That your dreams will come true,
Just wait for the sign,
And it will happen to you,
Do you believe what you read in the stars,
Do you believe what you read in the stars,
I'll tell you all of the secrets
That you'll ever want to know,
Do you believe in the stars,
Do you live by superstition
Would you be number 13,
Do you trust in this magic
Or only what you've seen,
Is it just make believe
To live forever more
Oh gaze into the crystal
Then you'll know for sure
Chorus
8. Trick Or Treat
He's got a wife, but he keeps a lover,
He's got a big fast car, but he needs another,
Has so much money, he'll always score,
But he pays a man to make him more
Walk in fear of his shadow
He preys the back streets
But you'd never know
He'd kill - for a trick or treat - trick or treat
Acts like a good guy, he's on your side,
Then all of a sudden, he's a Jekyll and Hyde,
But he's not his own, you've just read his name,
No, there are plenty of others, out there just the same,
Chorus
When you've got it all, it's hard to get a thrill,
So he picks a house and breaks in at will,
But they caught him, oh yes, they gave him life,
He'd heard footsteps coming and stopped them with a knife
Chorus
9. Madeline
If most things don't last forever,
Then don't want to believe,
'cos always thought we'd stay together,
I felt you really loved me,
Madeleine smile, let me love you Madeleine,
Don't cry, let me hold you,
Madeleine smile, let me love you Madeleine,
Don't cry, let me hold you -
Remember the time I walked out,
And just left you left you crying,
I know it looked as if I didn't care,
But deep down inside I was dying,
Chorus
