3. Whiskey River

Oh lay me down girl, 'cause i'm going
Like a river, overflowing
I hear someone who is crying
I don't know 'cause i am dying

See my father tell my mother
Tell my sister tell my brother
Get me out girl and i'll feel better
Bring me round with whisky glitter

Now i lie here i have fallen
Hear the sound of music calling
Mirror mirror i am seeing
Half a man but not believing

Oh ,don't like believing




4. Hot as a Docker's Armpit

Oh yeah
Going down to the town
I’ve gotta f-f-f-f-find where I've gone
Anyday anyway
I’ve gotta d-d-d-d-do it alone
Gotta go and I know
That I will never never leave her alone
She’s a whore at her door
That I could never never never ignore

I don't know what you are,
Will you hold my hand
I don't know what you are,
Help me understand
You will understand

She’s as hot as a dockers armpit
She’s as hot as a dockers armpit
She’s as hot as hey hey hey yeah!




5. In the Grip of a Tyrefitter's Hand

You got your feelings
Your old fashioned feelings
About the world and its ways
No retribution
No simple solution
I think we're caught in a maze

And all the plunder
That feeling down under
It tends to gnaw at you
We're in the grip it's a total Eclipse
The tyre fitter's got you

Now let me explain
This feeling of pain
Comes from the man at the top.
His grip is so tight
His political might
The tyre fitter will not stop

He's bleeding your brain
He'll drive you insane
Nobody making a move
He'll give you a pen
But he's got him a gun
The tyre man is oh so shrewd

I'm licking my wounds
And mending my bones
And catching the wind out of town
We're all in the grip of a tyre fitter's hand
It's only doing me harm

Running away
Just isn't the way
You got to get it yourself
Watch what we do
We just gotta make do
And hide away on the shelf




6. Breadfan

Open up your mind
Open up your purse
Open up your bones
Never, never gonna lose it

Breadfan
Take it all away
Never give an inch
Gotta make a mint
Gotta make me a million

Breadfan
You got it wrong
Some long time friend's gonna lose it
In the end who's a fool

Seagull
Give it all away
Stay a bird
Stay a man
Stay a ghost
Stay what you wanna be

Loser
Give it all away
Never stay with the winner
With the man
With all the filthy money

Come on
Keep it on the side
With a ride
On a record on the top
If you're gonna be a bad boy

Breadfan
You got it wrong
Some long time friend's gonna lose it
In the end who's a fool

Seagull
Give it all away
Stay a bird
Stay a man
Stay a ghost
Stay what you wanna be




7. Parents

When I was a little boy
They would say to me
Don't go in the world and play
It's bad company
All they had was child and faith
Let him grow and let him wait
Just to find out what it was to be free
But now I'm over twenty one
Growing up I've had my fun
And I know it's got to be
Baby lying in a womb
Are you free or in a tomb
Let me in,
I feel I want to cry.
Oh the road is long
Oh the road is long
Come on back, back.
Wash your hands and up to bed
Mind your manners
Or you're dead
Mind the cars cos you've got school on Monday
Put my trust in God
Who is he I know not what
Something mummy said one Sunday.
Maybe love is life but life is not
It's something I need plenty of.
Oh! I wish I'd died and never lived a day.
Now there's no one near me now
Tell me what to do and how
Take me back and sing my cares away.
Take me let me sing my cares away
Oh! the road is there
Oh that road is there
Come on back, back.
Oh! I'm empty now
Rainy pain has left me now.
Think of what my people used to say.
Black is black and white is white
Which to choose and which is right
Guide me to a place where I can stay.
Wrap me up and keep me warm
Hide myself far from the storm
Sleep and love will keep my mind at rest.
Only now I realise what my parents had to try.
Love you all and keep you all my life.
Oh that road is there
Oh the road is there
Come on back, back.




8. In for the Kill

Living ain't easy it opens your head
Layin' and prayin' you wish you were dead
When I was born I was given a will
That the meaning of life is
I'm in for the kill

Loving knowing giving showing
Love is seeing and ever being
Motor cruising midnight boozing
Altar singing and bells that are ringing

You got a reason to listen to me
For I am a messenger carrying the key
Money is nothing to hold into wills
And the meaning of life is
I'm in for the kill

You see me moving around playing on people's minds
But I won't be for nobody I only have a way of return
Take me make me do what you want
You ain't gonna mock up me
Well I am the tolls and I am the right
And I am the earth and the sea

Hey there you with a lock that is boozed
Gonna say it with a face that's red
It's only the ones who can take the pain
Who can take that golden hat
I'm only trying to help you love in a world
That is hot and rough
It's me and you and a cat named boo
And a woman who has run out of stuff




9. Crash Course in Brain Surgery

Look inside and you will see
The words are cutting deep inside my brain
Thunder burnin' quickly burning
Knife of words is driving me insane, insane

Raven black is on my track
He shows me how to neutralize the knife
Show to me in surgery
The art of fighting words to conquer life, conquer life yeah

Now the wicked lance of fear
Is driven from my heady mountain brain
Crash course in brain surgery
Has stopped the bloody knife of words again yeah, yeah, yeah




10. Napoleon Bona, Pts. 1 & 2

There’s a light, covers up my doorway
Flickering light, never run away
And I might, I might be going your way
Say who might, might help me on my way
Mmm, what a sight, sight to burn the ego
Keep you warm and never let go

And the light coming my way,
Compared to what others have seen
Napoleon the strong he once had it
As a sound that was loud in his dream

And I stand, locked before the four ways
Wind and snow, heaven and I
I belong wherever men like that stay
I can feel it burning in my eyes

And the light coming my way
Compared to what others have seen
Napoleon the strong he once had it
As a sound that was loud in his dream

Heavens child, it’s driving me wild,
Honey I know that it’s right
Well, I got this message that makes me feel good
Carries me out through the night
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me!

Well, I move through life like a hurricane lamp
Lighting the road as I go
Spreading this music, injecting the light
Please let it stay, never go
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me!

And I think of napoleon and others before
Parallels seem to exist
I follow it, follow it, keep it in sight
Napoleon would never have missed
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me!




11. Who Do You Want for Your Love?

Oh well, I ain`t got nothing,
I got nothing to say to the right one
I don’t need nothing,
I got nothing to feel for the bright one
I ain`t loving you dear, running away with no one
Who do you want for your love?

I got nothing taking my time, I’m a wild one, one
And if I’d ever tried another to stay, I’ll lie like a son
Yeah I don’t know when who can play
At the same way
Who do you want for...?

I ain`t messin`, burn your hand
Don’t you ever turn your back on a friend
Slowly come girl, to my bed
Underrated, underfed, dead!

I’ve been getting bad vibes living in the smoke
Try and tell you good friend but it sounds a joke
Giving up the good things changing all my ways
Meat is going bad girl, now I will be saved
Yeah, I wish I could be strong
Living with the good wins, that I wear them long

Ooh now hear me calling out your name
Has a lesson there's a game
Don’t you fool it, do it friend
Keep your cool girl or you're dead




12. Breaking All the House Rules

I’ve been running from a dark horse, I can’t lose it
I’ve been calling to an old force, don’t excuse it
Now I’m in the back and I’m all right
Got a mean kinda woman she’s outta sight
Well I don’t mind now sit me with the old fool
Out the back door, break the house rules

I go looking for my ego, don’t explain it
Don’t want never never leave girl, just sustain it
Well I’ve got a home and it’s all right
With a mean kinda woman she’s outta sight
Well I don’t know about ripping up the old school
No no more breaking all the house rules

I got things I wanna do girl,don`t refuse me
I don’t wanna be a bad boy, you don’t rule me
Well you knowing me well that’s all right
When a guy’s gotta live and he’s outta sight
I just wanna leave everything paid for
Feeling good that it's our thing girl
It’s obscene

Well here we go,
I got things I wanna do girl,don`t refuse me
I don’t wanna be a bad boy, you don’t just rule me
Well I’m neat neat well that’s alright
With a kind kinda woman she’s outta sight
I just wanna beat everything you throw me
You don’t think that that’s obscene?
Yes it is.




13. Beautiful Lies




14. Anne Neggen

I don’t see the future, I feel it day to day
Dirty nights are passing by, I gotta learn to pay
Trucking down to London, gigs that never end
Foggy days and motorways
Will drive me round the bend

An` again (x 8)

Went to see my agent, natty looking gent
Dirty dates and dirty plays,
We must be trucking bent
Only real solution, help me on my way
Close my eyes and visualize
Some peace to help me play

When time is tight your look ain`t right
And keeping time is an upward climb
P’s and q’s just follow you
And all the time you feel the grime like hell

Creeping down the highway, feel like one per cent
May god make the papers say
We’re going where we’ll win
We don’t mind a work down
When the night is through
Kids give us the feeling that we only give to you




15. If I Were Britannia I'd Wave the Rules

Some people try to tell me that life is a joy
Others think I’m crazy when I say it’s a toy
Only the lonely understand that it’s true
Only Britannia has the right to waive the rules

Any man can realize that love is not a sin
All you do is shake it up and then you let it in
Any man can realize that life is just a toy
Take a chance and waive the rules
And make your time a joy

I met a woman the other day,
She told me that it was egg on my face
It was a certain disgrace, I can’t take it no more
I’m just insisting I do understand,
I`ll never be a part of the band
They start to teach you at school
If I were Britannia, I’d waive the rules

Temptation’s on your mind,
It’s gonna make your body high
Although you know it was only pride, but I paid

You’ll earn your ticket out of rock and roll
But some are pulling you home
I take it that you don’t know,
It’s just a part of the show
They couldn’t make me see why,
There ain`t no blue in the sky
That’s like they teach you at school

Temptation’s on your mind,
It’s gonna make your body high
Although you know it `s pride

If I were Britannia, I’d waive the rules




16. Melt Velvet Stallion

Black velvet stallion, you are gone
Chasing a windsong, be my son
Always here wondering
Hoof beats are thundering through me
Maybe you’re running from me

Black velvet stallion are you near
Carry me far away from my fear
Son of an Arab mare
Roaming on solid air and free
While you are living be free

Black velvet stallion be alone
Send me a messenger call me home
Pictures and silhouettes
Spending a pirouette on me
Maybe you’re coming to me

Black velvet stallion you’re my child
Flower of tenderness growing wild
Look through my wilderness
No one would ever guess you’re me
What I am seeing is me




17. Melt the Ice Away

Melt the ice away, that’s what they say
Say it, say it, say it’s safe
Don’t you breakdown under hailstone
Yeah you can do what you want
You can be what you want
It’s a bad bad world,
Yes, you know they can hurt
I’m the same as you, I need loving too

Cold winds are blowing
I think it’s time I was going
Sad sad city
When you’re giving for a living
Yeah you can have it with me
It’s a perfect dream
You can be here too
There’s a lot you can do
By the way you appear
In the eyes of the world
Take my word

You can see the sign coming from afar
You can see the sign coming from afar
Can you see it there?
Oh, oh, melt the ice away

When we’re attacking, red lights flashing
Oh, you can burn out a wire, it’s a crazy desire
You can go with the wind, you can be my friend
You don’t need a hand, oh it’s the promised land

You can see the sign coming from afar
You can see the sign oh yeah it’s there
Oh, oh, melt the ice away
Melt the ice away, yeah, melt the ice away




18. Forearm Smash

Well I’ve grown up in a ring of tangles
Gonna make my move gonna use all the angles
Somebody said you were a spitfire cat
Burning love gonna put an end to that
Wanna clean break, clean fight
Shake my hand but you don't try anything rash
Catch you with my long throw
Take you by surprise
Gonna get you with a forearm smash

Baby, forearm smash
Baby, forearm smash

Seconds away gonna break your back
If you don’t wanna play then don’t give me flak
People spend money just to see you fall
When you’re out for the count
They won’t care no more, no more

I wanna clean fight baby so you’d better move over
I’m a heavy weight killer with a featherlight mover
It’s a long time holding my arms around you
I’m gonna fight dirty `cause I’m gonna get you
Oh, he hit me, he cut me
Pulling my hair, aiming below the belt
It’s a prize fight and I was right
It’s a grudge fight over woman that gives me hell

Baby, forearm smash
Baby, forearm smash




19. Tie to Remember

Time to remember, I can remember
The time has come to lift derision
The change has left a mark of persuasion
I can remember

Carrier of the great fire
I’m so sorry, I’m sorry
Carrier of the great fire
Give me one more chance, just one more

Time to remember, I can remember
You never thought the time would come
The shadowed cell has fallen down
I can remember

Carrier of the great fire
Please believe me and i`ll know
Carrier of the great fire
Oh, you got to hear me, you got to know

Carrier of the great fire
Why just walk out, why not go?
Carrier of the great fire
Oh, you caught me out again

Carrier of the great fire
oh, it`s my time to remember, and I know
Carrier of the great fire
I will cry again, I will try again

Carrier of the great fire
Oh, I need your help, I need your help
Carrier of the great fire
I can remember, I can remember




20. Wildfire

I can’t talk, I can’t walk
I can’t think, I can’t drink
I can’t crawl, I can’t fall
I can’t move, but I can groove

I got a wildfire, I got a wildfire in my bed
She’s just a wildfire
Wildfire is a high wire in my head
That’s what I said

She don't cook, and she don’t look
She can dance, she put me in a trance
And she got class, everyone she passes
She got radiation, she got syncopation

I got a wildfire, I got a wildfire in my bed
My baby's a wildfire
Wildfire is a high wire in my head
That’s what I said

Ooh don’t you know you hit me
I can’t breathe but I can see
I can stroll, I can rock and roll
I’ve got this fever and I’ve got pain
Talk about a wildfire cutting through my brain

Don’t you know you hit me?




21. Lies of Jim (The E Type Lover)

Wealthy Jim had a sordid love affair,
You know it cost him four and a half grand
A high court judge who just wouldn’t budge,
He said your crime fits in the land
`Cos little jimmy had a roving eye
But he didn’t have a wooden leg
Well his heart was wood
He said that’s no good
Or so the verdict said

Lies of Jim the e type lover,
Lies of Jim the e type lover
Pay and then you run for cover
From the lies of Jim the E-Type lover

The judge he said you’ve been a wicked little man
I’m gonna have to slap you down boy
Now you took this little child
And you drove her wild
You treated her like a toy
Well this I will not tolerate
You’re gonna have to pay the price
You’ve gotta give that lady some compensation
A jaguar would suffice

Wealthy Jim put his hand into his pocket
What the judge drew kinda hit him like a rocket
The man at the back said he thought he saw a tear
Run down Jim’s cheek, settle by his ear
Prosecution witness noted his distress
But liked to smile across at jimmy in a mess
He didn’t care for the people in the room
He thought the mans smile rubbed more salt into the wound

Love is not a thing you buy, love is not a car
For compensation for Lorraine
Who lost her precious jaguar
Thirty pieces of silver steel
The pace of love behind the wheel

Jim! Won’t you tell me what you’ve done
It only started out as a bit of fun
Will return you hungry young man
To eat the flesh of a young virgin
I believe in the word of the law
Is justice done is all that I saw
Jim would say if you wanna have a ball
Beware! The writings on the wall




22. I Turned to Stone

I was born yesterday
Trouble seemed so far away
Now it seems my friends no longer call
Everything was better then
I can still remember when
I saw the future with a certain glow

So I turned to stone
As I learned to know
When I turned to stone
Tell myself I’m feeling all alone

Many days have passed me by
Celebrate with sunny skies
Still I know I need a helping hand
And the friends I thought I knew
See them change my every view
Now it seems I’m seeing them as they really are

No I turned to stone
As I learned to know
When I turned to stone
Tell myself I’m feeling all alone

I was born yesterday
Trouble seemed so far away...




23. She Used Me Up

Oh sweet sixteen when she caught my eye
She made a first time love like an apple pie
I got all choked up when she ran around
She just used me up and she threw me right down
Right down on the ground

I wanted her for my loving plan
But she ran out of town with another man
My friends all knew that she ran around
`Cause she used me up and she threw me right down
Right down on the ground

I was cut up bad when she did her stuff
My heart gave in and my love broke up
I’m a broken man so I play the clown
`Cause she used me up and she threw me right down
Right down on the ground




24. Superstar

You make a turn to the left
You make a turn to the right
You show your big blue eyes
Beneath the big white light
You send the little girls wild
With your little white lies
You excite the child
Or you hypnotize

You’re a star, you’re a star
You’re a superstar
You’re a star, you’re a star
You’re a superstar
(That’s what you are)

Your black automobile
You got your blonde at the wheel
And with a big time roll
You try to settle your soul
Standing mean and wild
You’re just a little child
You can never really learn
You’ve got nowhere to run

You’re a star, you’re a star
You’re a superstar
You’re a star, you’re a star
You’re a superstar
(Hit me one time j.t., please)




25. Don't Cry

Don’t cry, don’t cry
Hold on, we’ll meet again
So long to Independence Day

Don’t cry, don’t cry
Be strong, the mist must fade away
My heart goes with you today

Don’t cry, stand on your own
Don’t cry you know you’re never alone
Don’t cry, don’t cry

Oh, my life is just the same as yours
Your will, open up the doors
Don’t cry, don’t cry




26. Truth Drug

Never believe in the bellicose talker
Pretending his cause to be just and strong
The onrushing torrent of words to convert
Entice me to follow along

Truth drug! Sell it to the bad boys
Making all of their noise, ringing in my ears
Truth drug! Give it to the bad guys
Don’t you know that their lies,
Are not allowed in here

The energy relays rhetorical speeches
The sugar sweet voice tells me this is the best
The durable quality lasts for a second
I fell for the scam like the rest

You think it’s funny, to make your money
By telling your lies.
Crawl back under your stone!

I got it wrong when you wrote me a letter
That said you would love me forever and ever
Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind
Keeping respect for each other




27. Hold on to Love

Keep the fire of life alight,
Give it all you can
Open up your hand, reach out
Your positive reactions fight
Your run of empty luck
Empty `cause they’ve snuffed love out

Hold on to, hold on to love
Why don’t you hold on to love?
Hold on to, hold on to love
Everyone hold on to love

There’s a school of higher thought
That hears the frequency
A universal key, sing out
Although it’s run is separate
Like islands in the stream
Tune in to the beat listen out

When you're disillusioned with
The path your life has run
There is only one remedy
What’s the use in having
If you don’t appreciate
Love can turn to hate so easily




28. Superstar (live)

You make a turn to the left
You make a turn to the right
You show your big blue eyes
Beneath the big white light
You send the little girls wild
With your little white lies
You excite the child
Or you hypnotize

You’re a star, you’re a star
You’re a superstar
You’re a star, you’re a star
You’re a superstar
(That’s what you are)

Your black automobile
You got your blonde at the wheel
And with a big time roll
You try to settle your soul
Standing mean and wild
You’re just a little child
You can never really learn
You’ve got nowhere to run

You’re a star, you’re a star
You’re a superstar
You’re a star, you’re a star
You’re a superstar
(Hit me one time j.t., please)




29. Panzer Division Destroyed! (live)

Hear me call, panzer division destroyed
Power gun pounding and well deployed
Everyman seems to burn, die in hell
Twisted steel, twisted ness sealed the deal

Hear me call, panzer division destroyed
Absolute no sign of life at all
Crushing men living men have all gone

Hear me call, panzer division destroyed
Cold and burned the smoke and blood inside
Pure light splits the night with a flame
Blinding rage get in touch with our plane

Hear me call, panzer division destroyed
Pretty sight pounding fire finding home
Well I’m in sight cutting through hostile zone
Only sound on the ground is a moan
