Burning Ambition
So you think you can own me,
well you'd better just think again
You'd better watch your steps now, woman,
cause I ain't like those other men
There's something burning inside me
that makes me want to be free
And when I get these feelings honey,
you better keep away from me
There's things in life now, baby,
that I know I've got to do
And I need your love now, baby,
to help me see it through
So you think you can own me,
well you'd better just think again
You'd better watch your steps now, woman,
cause I ain't like those other men
So you think you can own me,
well you'd better just think again
You'd better watch your steps now, woman,
cause I ain't like those other men
There's something burning inside me
that makes me want to be free
And when I get these feelings honey,
you better keep away from me
I Live My Way
Sometimes when I feel the anger
Sometimes when I'm all alone
Sometimes when I feel surrounded
Like all the doors are closed
I feel like I've been a prisoner
I feel like I've been a tool
Let people try to judge me
When they're not in my shoes
CHORUS:
I've lived on my knees
Trying to please
It's time to change
Some people are only happy
When they can watch you fail
And to them every day is
Another coffin nail
I think that I've found the answer
I think that at last I know
We've only got one lifetime
I'll make my life my own
CHORUS
To live my own way
I live my way Living for today
Don't care what they say
Invasion
The Vikings are coming,
You'd better get ready for we're having a fight
The longboats are coming,
looking like dragons in the dead of the night
Muster the men from all the villages
You'd better get ready to fight with your enemies
Beacons are burning,
I'm giving the word to get ready to fight
The battle is nearing,
You'd better get ready to fight for your lives
Muster the men from all the villages
You'd better get ready to fight with your enemies
The Norsemen are coming,
The Norsemen are coming
The warnings are given,
The Norsemen are coming
The Norsemen are coming,
The Norsemen are coming
The warnings are given,
The Norsemen are coming
Raping and pillaging,
Robbing and looting the land
Raping and pillaging,
Robbing and looting the land
Viking raiders from afar
The Norsemen are coming,
The Norsemen are coming
The warnings are given,
The Norsemen are coming
The Norsemen are coming,
The Norsemen are coming
The warnings are given,
The Norsemen are coming
Raping and pillaging,
Robbing and looting the land
Raping and pillaging,
Robbing and looting the land
Viking raiders from afar
Judgement Day
There are no marks upon a man
That can say he's good or bad
No label and no tell tale sign
That can show he's full of lies
CHORUS:
By your deeds you will be known
Time will tell truth will show
As we exhale every breath
We all got closer to our death
What will you say,
What will you say.
On judgement day
On judgement day
When you look into their eyes
You don't know what they hide
No label and no tell tale sign
That can show he's full of lies
CHORUS
Ignorance is bliss is that the reason
We can not read another's mind
If we knew what thoughts were dancing
Through each others heads
Would we all be driven mad
Would we all be dead
CHORUS
Justice Of Peace
Have you heard on the news
Another let off madman
Another screw on the loose
Is it the judge or the badman
What's the matter these days
No one has the courage to put them away
Nobody has any faith
'Cause there's a breakdown of justice and order
CHORUS:
Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace
Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace
When I remember back
the memories of yesterday
With all the friends and all the times
When people were carefree
And walking down the street
When everyone knew everyone
And all the houses doors were open
No had to care
Those days are gone
Those days are gone
CHORUS
Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace
Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace
I long for the times when you could
Wander down the street unharmed
When people didn't have much money
But didn't seem to care
It must be the cynic in me
But I don't really like things now
The violence, the attitudes
Aggression that you see everyday
A sick society looks the other way.
Sanctuary
Out of the winter came a war horse of steel.
I've never killed a woman before,
but I know how it feels.
I know you'd have gone insane
if you saw what I saw.
So now I've got to look for
sanctuary from the law.
I met up with a 'slinger last night
to keep me alive.
He spends all his money
on gambling and guns to survive.
I know you'd have gone insane
if you saw what I saw.
So now I've got to look for
sanctuary from the law.
So give me sanctuary from the law
and I'll be all right.
Just give me sanctuary from the law
and love me tonight, tonight.
I can laugh at the wind,
I can howl at the rain.
Down in the Canyon
or out in the plain.
I know you'd have gone insane
if you saw what I saw.
So now I've got to look for
sanctuary from the law.
So give me sanctuary from the law
and I'll be all right.
Just give me sanctuary from the law
and love me tonight, tonight.
The Sheriff of Huddersfield
We're on a mission from Rod...
Life in the city living in L.A.
Is a long way from Huddersfield town
The back of the Rainbow's a long way from heaven
But that's where he get his pork pie
Limos and ladies they're driving him crazy
Rugby and cricket's unknown
Baseball and football they're making him lazy
Your fan club says "Rodney come'ome"
The Sheriff of Huddersfield Locked in his castle
Looked down on the Hollywood Hills
The Sheriff of Huddersfield Locked in his castle
You're our own Hot Rod on wheels
A good game of arrows a few dozen barrels
The Nautilus rusts in the yard
For Yorkshire he's yearning
but because he's earning He'll always live in L.A.
A custom made wallet that stays in his pocket
And never comes out to pay bills
He's winning at poker and playing the Joker
And always cheats when he deals
The Sheriff of Huddersfield Locked in his castle
Looked down on the Hollywood Hills
The Sheriff of Huddersfield Locked in his castle
You're our own Hot Rod on wheels
Hello, let me introduce myself
My name's Rodney I'm immensely strong
When I were a lad
I could lift up Five navies on the end of a shovel
The reason I never took up martial arts
Is because I was fearsome
And probably Kill everybody
That I came into contact with I
was phenomenally strong
Pride and ego My lads,
Pride and ego
Is what makes the world rotate,
And everybody knows
that The centre of the Universe is Huddersfield
That's why I don't live there anymore
I live in Los Angeles It's great!... I think
Rufus the red has a crane by his bed
To wrench himself up in the morn'
But if you dare to tread at the foot of his bed Y
You'll wish you'd never been born
A bear with a sore head we don't mean your forehead
He slumbers for most of the day
Wide eyed and legless baked beans for breakfast
Your problem Rodney is L.A.
The Sheriff of Huddersfield Locked in his castle
Looked down on the Hollywood Hills
The Sheriff of Huddersfield Locked in his castle
You're our own Hot Rod on wheels
The sin shines all night!
Total Eclipse
Cold as steel the darkness waits,
it's hour will come
A cry of fear for the chosen
worshipping the sun
Mother natures black revenge
on those who waste her life
War babies in the garden of Eden
shall turn our ashes to ice
Sunrise is gone, freezing up the fires
Sunrise is gone,numbing all desires
Sunrise is gone, Sunrise is gone
Around the world the people stop
with terror-stricken eyes
A shadow cast upon them all
to crush them like a fly
In the icy rain and whiplashed seas
there's nowhere left to run
The hammer blows of winter fall
like a hurricane
Sunrise is gone, freezing up the fires
Sunrise is gone,numbing all desires
Around the world the nations wait
for some wise words from their leading light
You know it's not only madmen who listen to fools
"Is this the end" the millions cried
clutching their riches as they died
Those who survive must weather the storm
Gone are the days when man looked down
They've taken away his sacred crown
To be so free, it took so long
It's not the journeys end, it's just begun
Virus
|
|
There's an evil virus
that's threatening mankind
Not state of the art,
a serious state of the mind
The muggers, the backstabbers,
the two faced elite
A menace to society,a social disease
Rape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics,the apathy one-upmanship order
Watching beginnings of social decay
Gloating or sneering at life's disarray
Eating away at your own self esteem
Pouncing on every word
that you might be saying
Rape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics,the apathy one-upmanship order
Superficially smiling a shake of the hand
As soon as the back is turned treachery is planned
Rape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics, the apathy one-upmanship order
Watching beginnings of social decay
Gloating or sneering... at life's disarray
When every good thing's laid to waste
By all the jealousy and hate
By all the acid wit and rapier lies
And every time you think you're safe
And when you go to turn away
You know they're sharpening
all their paper knives
All in your mind
All in your head
Try to relate it
All in your mind
All in your head
Try to escape it
Without a conscience they destroy
And that's a thing that they enjoy
They're a sickness that's in all our minds
They want to sink the ship and leave
The way they laugh at you and me
You know it happens all the time
All in your mind
All in your head
Try to relate it
All in your mind
All in your head
Try to escape it
The rats in the cellar
you know who you are....
Or do you?
Watching beginnings of social decay....
I've Got The Fire
If you're looking for someone that you can keep then, baby, pass me by
And if you wanted something that's twenty years deep Baby, don't even try
And if you wanted someone to take your soul I'll lift you up little bit higher
I've got the fire
I've got the fire
So you think I'm skinny, don't you sell me cheap
I'm as wide as a country-mile
Some like it wide, I like it deep
Guess which one is my style
So you think you can beat me by my own game
Maybe I call you a liar
Twilight Zone
She lays in bed at night and that is when I make my call.
But when she stares at me, she can’t see nothing at all,
Because, you see, I can’t take no shape or form.
It’s been three long years since I’ve been gone.
I can’t get used to purgatory, you know it really makes me cry.
I’ll never know the reason why I had to go.
Oh, oh, I’m crying,
Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me.
Oh, oh, oh, can’t you see me?
Ah can’t you see me?
I’m looking forward to her spirit coming over to me.
I feel tempted to bring her over to see just what it’s
Like to be hanging on the other side.
I feel so lonely, it’s a long time since I died.
I try to show her that she’s never gonna be alone,
Because my spirit is imprisoned in the twilight zone.
Oh, oh, I’m crying,
Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me.
Oh, oh, oh, can’t you see me?
Ah can’t you see me?
Women In Uniform
Beehive hairdo, 45 on the hip Patrolwoman Saunders, don’t you give her no whip
Took me to the station for a breathtest then back to the bedroom for some house-arrest
Women in uniform, sometimes they look so cold
Women in uniform, but, Oh! They feel so warm
Coming back to London on a 747 Stewardess made me feel like I’m in heaven
Looking up the aisle to see what I could see
She leaned over said;
Give it to me
White apron, brown leather shoes
The nurse at the clinic left my heart all bruised
Gave me a massage, sprained my right
Now she takes my temperature every night
Commando raid on the Lebanese border
Sergeant Anita, she gives the order
Khaki jacket and a love gun Baby, I surrender, let’s have some fun
Cross-Eyed Mary
Who would be a poor man a beggerman,
a thief if he had a rich man in his hand
Who would steal the candy from a laughing baby's mouth
if he could take it from the money man
Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again
She signs no contract but she always plays the game
She dines in Hampstead village on expense accounted gruel
and the jack knife barber drops her off at school
Laughing in the playground gets no kicks from little boys
would rather make it with a letching gray
Or maybe her attention is drawn by
Aqualung who watches through the railings as they play
Cross-eyed Mary finds it hard to get along.
She's a poor man's rich girl and she'll do it for a song
She's a rich man's stealer but her favour's good and strong
She's the Robin Hood of Highgate helps the poor man get along
Rainbow's Gold
In the heat of the morning when your day is still dawning
And your bird, she's singing
Catch your soul, he's willing to fly away
Packed your bags in a hurry
Because your mind's in a worry
Mark my words, you're gonna be sorry if you ever fly away
Sweet little girl with the Saint Da Vinci-smile
Stares at me with sadness in her eyes
I'm not sure if she's really real or make-believe
Maybe she's a vision that comes to only me
Cause I'm so tired
Yes I'm so tired
So tired
Yes I'm so tired
King Of Twilight
Crying In the Dark
I've been trying, trying so hard
I've been crying, crying in the dark
Don't forsake me, the time of mine is near
Don't ever break me and the world that brought me here
Sick and lonely, waiting for you
Sick and lonely, wondering what to do
Can you hear me, when I say to you
You give me your hand, I'll give mine to you
King of Twilight
When the king of twilight shows me
I will take ten steps to see
Forty leaves I pay for freedom
For a chance to be free
For a chance to be free
When the king of twilight calls you take a step and you will see
We all need a quick solution
Reach Out
It's over your head and you don't seem to understand
One word I say and you can't live your life
Trying to run away
You're fighting your friends
You're wearing everybody out
But it never ends
You're wearing me out
(chorus)
Come on
Reach out
And let somebody in your life
Don't get me wrong
You always apologize
It's just your way
Of making a scene
You need to be loved
It's not such a crime
Over your head
You just don't seem to understand
One word I say and you can't live your life
You got so much love It's burning inside
Juanita
Yeah it cost me a bundle
Trying to track you down It's true
Yeah and it's the truth
I'm looking from town to town for you
You know you never offered much security
Do you know I'm gonna get you back?
You just wait and see
I'm never goin' back Juanita
I know you never got my call
I'm never goin' back Juanita
Never at all
Year I'm spending a long time
Trying to work it out for true
Yeah it's such small crime
Thirsting over you
Living in a Chelsea flat
Seems so lonely now
I just know I gotta get you back
I just don't know how
Yeah I just got to tell you
I'm gonna leave it up to you
Yeah what more can I say?
What more can I do?
Living in a Chelsea flat
Seems so lonely now
I just know I gotta get you back
I just don't know how
I'm never goin' down on Juanita
Never gonna make that call
Never goin' down on Juanita
Never at all
I'm never goin' down on Juanita
Never gonna make that call
Never goin' down on Juanita
Two fingers at all
I'm never goin' back Juanita
Never goin' down on you
Juanita I'm never goin' back Juanita ...
That Girl
The words she said turned out why desperation fills her eyes
Hold her in your arms don't let go
When you taste defeat, when you loose again
Fight and win, never give in
Hold her in your arms don't let go
That girl you need
Gonna knock you off your feet
That girl, you know
She'll never let you go
Can you hear her call, call out your name
Think about you, cry without you
Hold her in your arm
Don't let go
Can you taste defeat, when you loose again
Fight and win, never give in
Hold her in your arms don't let go
You need!
Black Bart Blues
(spoken into)
Bruce: 'What the fuck is that?'
Nerd : 'Hi, guys, are you in a band or something? I mean it
would be so cool if you were in a band 'cos you're driving a
big bus with band on the front of it'
Bruce: 'Why don't you shut up and get on board will ya?'
Nerd : 'Wow! I have it here you got a stereo and a microwave
and, and you got a beer, I'd like a Heineken if you've got
one' that's real cool, that's great, yeah!'
Bruce: 'Would you like to see Black Bart?'
Nerd : 'Who's Black Bart?'
Bruce: 'Let me introduce you'
Black Bart's seen it
Black Bart knows
Black Bart's done it
The Black Bart blues
Suspended in suspension
Many evil nights in Tennessee, and elsewhere
We all got to try the Black Bart blues
Black Bart's truckin' ain't what it seems
Black Bart's lookin'
Don't know where she's been
Maybe she's an acrobat
Spends her evenings dancing on a pole
We all got to try the Black Bart blues
Black Bart tried most anything
Black Bart liked it but he couldn't sing
So he asked me to tell ya
Try it for yourself and you will see
We all got to try the Black Bart blues
(spoken)
Bruce: 'What did you do that for?'
Nerd : 'I'm sorry, I just..., I guess I'm not used to...'
Bruce: 'Shut up and get on with it will you'
Black Bart's livin' across the ocean now
Black Bart's lookin' to come back somehow
So if you are a dancer,
You could dance his pole in May
That's a maypole
Black Bart's coming
Now Black Bart's gone
Black Bart did it so I wrote this song
Whatever and however,
In and out or several at a time mmm yes!
We all got to do the Black Bart blues
Here comes the guitar solo
We all got to try the Black Bart blues
Yowsa! Yowsa! Yowsa!
Massacre
At a point below zero
There's no place left to go
Six hundred unknown heroes
Were killed like sleeping buffalo
Through the devil's canyon
Across the battlefield
Death has no companion
The spirit is forced to yield
There goes the bandolero
Through the hole in the wall
He's a coward but doesn't care though
In fact, he doesn't care at all
The general that's commanding
He's defending what he fears
While the troops they are depending
On reinforcements from the rear
If God is in the heavens
How can this happen here?
In His name, they used the weapons
For the massacre
There is a point below zero
Where the sun can see the land
Six hundred unknown heroes
Lay dead in the sand
Kill Me Ce Soir
Remember that song called kill me
From Victim's last LP
Too much of a risk for a golden disc
The price he paid for money
Ce soir, ce soir
Assassination d'un Rock & Roll star
Ce soir, ce soir
Assassination d'un Rock & Roll star
Sing your song, you can't go wrong
Tempted his business advisor
No need for alarm, you'll come to no harm
He didn't mention the sniper
The news is read, the need is fed
One yawn ah, two yawn ah
And back to bed
Turn off the light, and hold me tight
C'mon, maman, bend down your head
And just sing on, immortal song
Fini, belle vie, bonne nuit
Remember that song called kill me
A lecture on political machinary
Of peoples rape, recorded on tape
Brought shame to the presidency
Tonight, tonight
One more point for human rights
Tonight, tonight
One more point for human rights
Remeber that song kill me
Once used by a man from Gallilea
He had nothing to lose, he was King of the Jews
Secured his place in history
Ce soir, ce soir
Assassination d'un provocateur
The news is read, the poison's spread
One yawn ah, two yawn ah
And back to bed
Turn off the light, and hold me tight
C'mon, maman, bend down your head
And just sing on, immortal song
Fini, belle vie
Vick played his part, with all his heart
He wasn't prepared for the shock
When howling lead bit into his head
A new martyr for the book of rock
A new martyr for the book of rock
The book of rock
A new martyr for the book of rock
Communication Breakdown
Hey, girl, stop what you're doin'!
Hey, girl, you'll drive me to ruin.
I don't know what it is that I like about you,
But I like it a lot.
Won't let me hold you,
Let me feel your lovin' charms.
Communication Breakdown,
It's always the same,
I'm having a nervous breakdown,
Drive me insane!
Hey, girl, I got something I think you ought to know.
Hey, babe, I wanna tell you that I love you so.
I wanna hold you in my arms, yeah!
I'm never gonna let you go,
'Cause I like your charms.
I want you to love me all night...
I want you to love me all night
I want you to love me
I want you to love...yeah! I want you to love!
I'm A Mover
I was born by the river, just like this river
I've been moving ever since
Ain't got nobody to call my own
You know I've been moving since the day I was born
Life is a game just made for fun
You know I don't love nobody, I don't love no one
Yes, I'm a mover, baby
Following the footsteps;
One fine day when I asked the wise man which was the way he said:
"Follow your heart and look for yourself and come back and tell me what you have learned"
Went back and told him, I found me a wife
Eleven children and a real good life
Told him of love and there's a happy home
But I need to return to that long winding road
Yes, I'm a mover, baby
Gotta move on down
Move on
Space Station #5
Start, with the sun
And move on out
The future's in the skies above
The heavens unfold
And a new star is born
Space and time makin' love
Oh what a time we had
Living on the ground
I've moved to station #5
See you next time around,
Next time around
As far you want, as close as you need
It's all in the mind, you know
This old world hasn't really seen it's day
It's here, time to go
Remember when it was so clear
We were young, but the memory still remains
To pick fruit from a tree
Fish from the seas
Now nothing's left here, but the stains
Well I can't cry no more
Can only be glad
There's other places we can be
If the time suits you right
I'm leaving tonight
Come fly away
With me!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Oh, yeah
Start, with the sun
And move on out
The future's in the skies above
The heavens unfold
A new star is born
Space and time makin' love
Doctor Doctor
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in
She walked up to me and really stole my heart
And then she started to take my body apart
Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you
Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you
Doctor doctor, please
Oh I'm goin' fast
Doctor doctor, please, oh, I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment
She's turning paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in
But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength, and I can't take any more
Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you
Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in
But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength, and I can't take any more
