1. Bitter Pill
And the label said take two for pain
So now i medicate my brain
The conflict rubs against my grain
But i cannot flush it down the drain
We are so hopeless
We are hopelessly in love
she breaks my will
she's my bitter pill
Addicted to her
Can't fight off the chill
She blurs my world
She's my bitter pill
We creep the night
Just to taste the thrill
Hopelessly in love
She's the kind of love drives a man insane
She sticks her poison right in my vein
Spinning around
Over and upside down in love
She breaks my will
She's my bitter pill
Addicted to her
Can't fight off this chill
She blurs my world
She's my bitter pill
We creap the night
Just to taste the thrill
Hopelessly in love
She blurs my world
She's my bitter pill
She breaks my will
She's my bitter pill
We creap the night
Just to taste the thrill
Addicted to her
She's my bitter pill
2. Enslaved
Alright alright this life is what you make it.
Don't slide... you can't compromise
You click your heels 3 times imagination goes wild...
You can't analyze
So be sure that you are makin the best of what you have
The truth is all within yourself
Don't be a slave.. a slave to someone else
Higher higher it's where we want to be in our minds...
It will mesmerize
It pleasure power that's what we devour...
You can have it crystallize
Now it's time to look at what you've done with your life
And the path you found and followed in
Yourself i won't be a slave.. a slave to anyone
The question is
When it's all done
Who will stand
And who will run
The answer is on my tongue
I won't be a slave to anyone
So be sure that you are making the best of what you have
The truth is all within yourself
Don't be a slave... a slave to someone else
3. Girls, Girls, Girls
Friday night and I need a fight
My motorcycle and a switchblade knife
Handful of grease in my hair feels right
But what I need to make me tight are
Girls, Girls, Girls
Long legs and burgundy lips
Girls,
Dancin' down on Sunset Strip
Girls
Red lips, fingertips
Trick or treat-sweet to eat
On Halloween and New Year's Eve
Yankee girls ya just can't beat
But they're the best when they're off their feet
Girls, Girls, Girls
At the Dollhouse in Ft. Lauderdale
Girls, Girls. Girls
Rocking in Atlanta at Tattletails
Girls, Girls, Girls
Raising Hell at the 7th Veil
Have you read the news
In the Soho Tribune
Ya know she did me
Well then she broke my heart
I'm such a good good boy
I just need e new toy
I tell ya what, girl
Dance for me, I'll keep you overemployed
Just tell me a story
You know the one I mean
Crazy Horse, Paris, France
Forget the names, remember romance
I got the photos, a menage a trois
Musta broke those Frenchies laws with those
Girls, Girls. Girls
Body Shop. Marble Arch
Girls, Girls, Girls
Tropicana's where I lost my heart
Girls, Girls, Girls
4. Kickstart My Heart
When I get high, I get high on speed
Top fuel funny car's A drug for me
My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart
Always got the cops coming after me
Custom built bike Doing 103
My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart
Ooh, are you ready girls ?
Ooh, are you ready now ?
Ooh, yeh
Kickstart my heart
Give it a start
Ooh, yeh, baby
Ooh, yeh

Hope it never stops
Ooh, yeh, baby
Skydive naked from an aeroplane
Or a lady with a body
From outerspace
My heart, my heart

I'm just looking for another good time
My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart
Yeh, are you ready girls ?

When we started this band
All we needed, needed was a laugh
Years gone by...
I'd say we've kicked some ass
When I'm enraged
Or hittin' the stage
Adrenalin rushing
Through my veins
And I'd say we're still kickin' ass
Ooh, ahh, it kickstarts my heart
I hope it never stops
And to think, we did all of this... to rock
Ooh, yeh
Kickstart my heart
Hope it never stops
Ooh, yeh, baby
Ooh, yeh
Kickstart my heart
Give it a start
Ooh, yeh, baby
Kickstart my heart
5. Wild Side
Kneel down ye sinners, to
Streetwise religion
Greed's been crowned the new King
Hollywood dream teens
Yesterday's trash queens
Save the blessings for the final ring-
AMEN
Wild side
I carry my crucifix
Under my deathlist
Forward my mail to me in hell
Liars and the martyrs
Lost faith in The Father
Long lost in the wishing well
Wild side
Fallen Angels
So fast to kill
Thy kingdom come on the wild side
Our father
Who ain't in heaven
Be thy name on the wild side
Holy Mary
Mother may I
Pray for us on the wild side
Wild side. Wild side
Name dropping no-names
Glamorize cocaine
Puppets with strings of gold
East L.A. at midnight
Papa won't be home tonight
Found dead with his best friend's wife
Wild side
Fatal strikes
We lie on the wild side
No escape
Murder rape
Doing time on the wild side
A baby cries
A cop dies
A day's pay on the wild side
Wild side, wild side
Tragic life on the wild side
Wild side, wild side
Kickin' ass on the wild side
6. Glitter (remix)
When we make love
It's hard to tell
If your dreamin' of me
Or someone else
That drunken kiss
Seems like a lie
Don't say it's forever
And then say goodbye
Glitter,
Don't ya leave me,
Please, believe me
I only want your love
Glitter, you're my lover,
I'll have no other girl
I only need your love
When mornin' comes and the
Sun shines bright
You gonna need someone
Someone to treat ya right
So don't walk out
When you wake up
Let's give it a chance girl
Let's give it a shot
Give it a shot now
Glitter, don't decieve me
Gotta believe me
Only need your love
Glitter, there's no other
You're beautiful
I only want you
This is fine for now, but
Maybe, let's make a baby
Inside of you
It's just the time,
We gotta find,
I want your name
On my tattoo
You blow my mind,
So tell me,
I wanna know
Glitter shines forever
Forever an' ever,
I only need your love
Glitter, lay your head down here
I'll always be so near
I only want your love
Here comes the
Here it comes
There goes the
There it goes
Here comes our love again
Through the window out
I only want your love
There goes the
There it goes
Here comes the
Here it comes
There goes our love again
Out the window
7. Dr. Feelgood
Rat-tailed Jimmy is a second hand hood
He deals out in Hollywood
Got a '65 chevy, primered flames
Traided for some powdered goods
Jigsaw Jimmy he's running a gang
But I hear he's doin' O.K.
Got a cozy little job, sells the mexican mob
Packages of candycaine
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
Cops on the corner always ignore
Somebody's getting paid
Jimmy's got it wired, law's for hire
Got it made in the shade
Got a little hideaway, does business all day
But at night he'll always be found
Selling sugar to the sweet people on the street
Call this Jimmy's town
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's gonna be your Frankenstein
I've got one thing you'll understand
He's not what you'd call a glamorous man
Got one thing that's easily understood
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He'll tell you he's the king of these barrio streets
Moving up to Shangri-la
Came by his wealth as a matter of luck
Says he never broke no law
Two time loser running out of justice
Time to move out quick
Heard a rumour going round Jimmy's going down
This time it's gonna stick
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's gonna be your Frankenstein
Let him soothe your soul, just take his hand
Some people call him an evil man
Let him introduce himself real good
He's the only one they call "FEELGOOD"
8. Same Ol' Situation
She's got an alligator bag
Top hat to match
Dressed in black on black
She's got a philipino girlie
She claims is her friend
I tell you boys you just got to laugh
Now, I used to call her Cindy
She changed her name to "Sin"
I guess it's the name of her game
Well, I really used to love her
Then, the kitty she discovered
It's got to be a sexual thing
Well, all around the world
Girls will be girls
It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
I say no no no
No no no
Introduced me to her lover
In a cellophane dress
Then they bid me a sweet farewell
Last time I saw them
They were kissing so softly
To the sound of wedding bells
Well, all around the world
Girls will be girls
It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
(Don't you know, girl)
It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
I say no no no
No no no
It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
Girl, it's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
All around the world
Girls will be girls
It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
It's the same ol', same ol' situationm
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
9. Home Sweet Home
You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low
Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel
Left all alone
Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm comin' off this
Long & winding road
I'm on my way
Well I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight tonight
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
You know that I seem
To make romantic dreams
Up in lights, fallin' off
The silver screen
My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing-keeps me together
At the seams
I'm on my way
Well I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight tonight
I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home
10. Afraid
Do you, do you wanna bleed?
Do you, do you wanna live in vain?
It's only life
She's so afraid to kiss
An' so afraid to laugh
Is she runnin' from her past?
It's only life
She's so afraid of love
Is so afraid of hate
What's she runnin' from now??
Do you, do you wanna scream?
Do you, do you wanna face the strange?
Do you, do you believe?
Are you, are you afraid of change?
It's only life
She's so afraid of this
And so afraid to ask
She hides behind her mask
Nothing's ever right
She's so afraid of pain
So afraid of blame
It's driving her insane
So insecure
There is no cure
Well, she's so afraid
She's so afraid of death
She's so afraid, afraid of life
The drama in her head
Getting louder all the time
Getting louder all the time
She's so afraid, afraid to lose
Been so afraid of fame
Everyday she feels the same
It's driven her insane...
It's driven her...
It's driven...
Its...
Another broken pretty thing
11. Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)
We could sail away
Or catch a freight train
Or a rocketship
Into outer space
Nothin' left to do
Too many things were said
To ever make it feel
Like yesterday did
Seasons must change
Separate paths - separate ways
If we blame it on anything
Let's blame it on the rain
I knew it all along
I'd have to write this song
Too young to fall in love
Guess we knew it all along
That's alright, that's Okey
We were walkin' through some youth
Smilin' through some pain
That's alright, that's Okey
Let's turn the page
My friends called today
Down from L.A.
They were shooting pool all night
Sleeping half the day
They said I could crash
If I could find my own way
I told them you were leaving
On a bus to go away
That's alright, that's Okey
We were two kids in love
Trying to find our way
That's alright, that's Okey
Held our dreams in our hands
Let our minds run away
That's alright, that's Okey
We were walkin' through some youth
Smilin' through some pain
That's alright, let's turn the page
And remember what I say girl
And it goes this way:
Girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away!
12. Without You
Without you, there's no change
My nights and days are grey
If I reached out and touched the rain
It just wouldn't feel the same
Without you, I'd be lost
I'd sleep down from the top
I'd slide down so low
Girl you'd never, never know...
Without you, without you
A saylor lost at sea
Without you, woman
The world comes down on me
Without you in my life
I'd slowly wilt and die
But with you by my side
You're the reason I'm alive
But with you in my life
You're the reason I'm alive
But without you, without you...
Without you, my hope is small
Let me be me all along
You let the fires rage inside
Knowing someday I'd grow strong
Without you, without you
A saylor lost at sea
Without you, woman
The world comes down on me
Without you in my life
I'd slowly wilt and die
But with you by my side
You're the reason I'm alive
But with you in my life
You're the reason I'm alive
But without you, without you...
I could face a mountain
But I could never climb alone
I could start another day
But how many, just don't know
You're the reason the sun shines down
And the nights, they don't grow cold
Only you that I'll hold when I'm young
Only you... As we grow old
Without you in my life
I'd slowly wilt and die
But with you by my side
You're the reason I'm alive
But with you in my life
You're the reason I'm alive
But without you, without you...
13. Smokin' in the Boys Room (Brownsville Station cover)
Sittin' in the classroom thinkin' it's a drag
Listening to the teacher rap-just ain't my bag
When two bells ring you know it's my cue
Gonna meet the boys on floor number 2
Smokin' in the boys room
Smokin' in the boys room
Teacher don't you fill me up with your rules
Everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school
Checkin' out the halls makin sure the coast is clear
Lookin' in the stalls-nah, there ain't nobody here
My buddies Sixx, Mick & Tom
To get caught would surely be the death of us all
Smokin' in the boys room
Smokin' in the boys room
Teacher don't you fill me up with your rules
Everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school
Put me to work the school book store
Check-out counter and I got bored
Teacher was lookin' for me all around
Two hours later you know where I was found
Smokin' in the boys room
Smokin' in the boys room
Teacher don't you fill me up with your rules
Everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school
Smokin' in the boys room
Smokin' in the boys room
Smokin' in the boys room
Smokin' in the boys room
Teacher don't you fill me up with your rules
Everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school
One more time
Smokin' in the boys room
Smokin' in the boys room
Teacher don't you fill me up with your rules
Everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school
14. Primal Scream
Broke dick dog
My head slung low
Tail knocked in the dirt
Time and time of being told
Trash is all I'm worth
When I was just a young boy
Had to take a little grief
Now that I'm much older
Don't put your shit on me
Grab it and shake
Reach down scrape it
You just got to
Primal scream (scream) and shout (shout)
Rip that mother out
You just gotta say "hey"
Primal scream (scream) and shout (shout)
Ooh, tear it out
You just gotta say
Janou said
Meters are red
Blow a neurotic fuse
Show a little
A little pain
Unlock a lotta truth
When daddy was a young man
His home was living hell
Mama tried to be so perfect
Now her mind's a padded cell, ya
Grab it and shake
Reach down scrape it
You just got to
Primal scream (scream) and shout (shout)
Tear that sucker down
You just gotta say "hey"
Primal scream (scream) and shout (shout)
Knock that timer down
You just gotta say (kick it)
Hey man, get out of my face
I deal with my problems at my own pace
With your screwed-down, anti-human views
Deal with the pressures by playing the blues
If you wanna live life on your own terms
You gotta be willing to crash and burn
Primal scream (scream) and shout (shout)
Tear that sucker down
You just gotta say "hey"
Primal scream (scream) and shout (shout)
Shot that timer down
You just gotta say
Scream shout
Come on come on come on
Scream shout
15. Too Fast For Love
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no
Living on a jet
Making love to someone else's dreams
Say it again
She puts her leg up
Well, calls it good luck
Do you know what I mean?
Do you remember?
Well I remember
Oh no, oh no
Dream machine
So damn cool she can turn on the night
The more she gets
Well, the more that she needs
Do you know what I mean?
Do you remember?
Well I remember
Oh no, oh no
Too fast
Too fast for love
Too fast
You're too fast for love
Too fast
Too fast for love
Too fast
You're too fast for love
Oh no, oh no
She's a streamline queen
On a sex craved movie screen
Say it again
She'll use her time up
Have nothing to show
Well mark my words
Do you remember?
Well I remember
Oh no, oh no
Too fast
Too fast for love
Too fast
You're too fast for love
Too fast
Too fast for love
Too fast
You're too fast for love
You're too fast
You're too fast for love
16. Looks that Kill

You might not make it back

That kill

Chorus:
She's got the looks that kill

So she turns on the power
Pre Chorus:

17. Shout at the Devil '97
He's the wolf screaming lonely in the night
He's the blood stain on the stage
He's the tear in your eye
Been tempted by his lie
He's the knife in your back
He's rage
He's the razor to the knife
Oh, lonely is our lives
My heads spinnin' round and round
But in the seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and
Chorus
Shout-shout-shout
Shout at the devil
He'll be the love in your eyes
He'll be the blood between your thighs
And then have you Cry for more
He'll put strength to the test
He'll put the thrill back in bed
Sure you've heard it all before
He'll be the risk in the kiss
Might be anger on your lips
Might run scared for the door
But in seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and
Chorus:
Shout-shout-shout
Shout at the devil
He'll be the love in your eyes
He'll be the blood between your thighs
And then have you Cry for more
He'll put strength to the test
He'll put the thrill back in bed
Sure you've heard it all before
He'll be the risk in the kiss
Might be anger on your lips
Might run scared for the door
But in seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh
