1. Ezy
2. Black Lagoon
3. Load Me Down
4. Dead At Last
1. Ezy
Love is love and it lives out loud,
Shakes the world and standing proud,
Gives the power and gives the grace,
To make this world a better place,
You got hope when you got someone,
To share your tears when your hard day's done,
To hold you like there's a nuclear blast,
To peel away each indifferent mask.
Take it easy, baby,
Cos you got me,
While we got each other,
We've got luxury.
Easy baby, easy,
Easy baby, cos you got me.
Work is hell all I want to do,
Is lose myself in loving you,
Forget how much I don't get paid,
Forget everything except my babe.
And when the bailiffs knock the door,
Cos we can't pay our bills no more,
They can take the cooker and the tired TV,
So long as I've still got you loving me.
Take it easy, baby,
Cos you got me,
While we got each other,
We've got luxury.
Easy baby, easy,
Easy baby, cos you got me.
2. Black Lagoon
I pour my brain into a can
And beer swamps my mind
Turning me from a man
Into something less defined
An open wound
With raw emotions bleeding forth
The night becomes a swamp
As the brew takes its course
I'm falling down into
A black lagoon
Pour me a pint of my best friend
And set them up again.
A melancholy anger weeps
In shadows of lost hope
The mutant climbs inside my eyes
And sanity is soaked.
The taste is sweet and satisfies
A midnight afternoon
I am sinking slowly
In the potion's black lagoon
I'm falling down into
A black lagoon
Pour me a pint of my best friend
And set them up again.
Pour me a glass of cold dark beer
And don't ask me to smile at you, my dear
There's no answer in the bottle
However hard I look
There's no wisdom in that cocktail
However hard it's shook.
3. Load Me Down
I'm going to the store
To get myself some beer
And if they canned up sanity
Would they sell it here?
I'd buy myself a truckload
And drink away the night
Maybe then my baby
You and me would be all right
Cos you load me down
You load me down
You load me down with my regrets
I'm like a ship about to sink
I'm just drinking to forget
And I don't forget to drink
I don't forget to drink it down
You load me down
Thinking how it used to be
To be alone with you
Telling any lies we could
To steal an hour or two
It ain't like that now, babe
We're together and you're mine
With a silent rhetoric
We wish away our time.
You load me down
You load me down
You load me down with my regrets
I'm like a ship about to sink
I'm just drinking to forget
And I don't forget to drink
I don't forget to drink it down
You load me down
4. Dead At Last
He ironed his shirt and pressed his pants,
And with a dull empty sadness hanging over his heart,
He shined his shoes.
'It's better than working for a living', the waitress said,
But all the time inside, Johnny's heart was breaking open wide.
Playing in that half empty Twilight Room on a Saturday,
Johnny tried to dream his life away,
Hoping that he would wake up in the beam of a super trooper,
Wishing that he was much cooler.
All he heard his head say was,
"Life ain't like that",
In the sorrow of his dressing room he sat,
So he drains the bottle,
Loads the gun,
Writes the note,
No-one will come,
Pulls the trigger,
Breaks the glass,
The man in the mirror,
is dead at last.
The note said "Stick your club right up your ass,
This gig stinks, you're second class,
I'm going to save my pride, keep my head,
If people ask, that singer's dead.",
So when every hour seems like a day,
And nothing seems to go your way.
Don't let those bastards drag you down,
You've got to hold on to what you've got,
Don't swan dive off a bottle top,
All you got to do is blow that town.
