Suzi Quatro Tribute EP

 48 Crash

Well you got the hands of a man and the face of a little boy blue
And when you stand you're so grand there's a case just for looking at you
You're so young, you could have been the devil's son
You're so young, but like a hang up I'll be sad when you're old and you're gone

Watch Out you know the 48 Crash come like a lightning flash
And the 48 Crash is a silk sash bash  48 Crash, 
48 Crash come like a lightning flash, a lightning flash
And it's a silk sash bash, a silk sash bash, that's the 48 Crash

You've got the kind of a mind of a juvenile Romeo
And you're so blind you could find that your motor ain't ready to go
You're so young, you're a hot shot son of a gun
You're so young, but like a teenage tearaway soon you'll be torn and you'll run

Crash, Crash, 48 Crash 
Crash, Crash, 48 Crash
Crash, Crash, 48 Crash
Crash, Crash

Devil Gate Drive

Well, at the age of five they can do their jive down in Devil Gate Drive
And at the age of six they're gonna get their kicks down in Devil Gate Drive
Well your mama don't know where your sister done go
She's gone down to the Drive. She's the start of the show
And let her move on up let her come let her go.
She can jive down in Devil Gate Drive
So come alive come alive down in Devil Gate Drive
So come alive come alive down in Devil Gate Drive

When they reach their teens that's when they all get mean down in Devil Gate Drive
When I was sweet sixteen I was the jukebox queen down in Devil Gate Drive
I lead the angel pack on the road to sin knock down the gates let me in let me in
Don't mess me around, because you know where I've been to 'The Dive' down in Devil Gate Drive
So come alive come alive down in Devil Gate Drive
So come alive come alive down in Devil Gate Drive

Well your mama don't know where your sister done go
She goes down to the Drive. She's the start of the show
Let her move on up. let her come let her go.
She can jive down in Devil Gate Drive
So come alive come alive down in Devil Gate Drive
So come alive come alive down in Devil Gate Drive

Can The Can

Well you call your mamma tiger and we all know you are lying
And your boyfriend's name is eagle and he lives up in the sky high
Watch out the tiger don't go claw the eagle's eye
But let the eagle take the tiger by surprise scratch out her eyes

So make a stand for your man try to can the can
Put your man in the can get him while you can
Can the can can the can if you can well can the can

Well your sister's got the feline touch, she touches up your mind
And your eagle lover likes his little bit of evil loving all the time
Don't let the cat get into the eagle's nest at night
Because the eagle could say yes without a fight scratch out her eyes

If You Can't Give Me Love

Well I've seen you before on that discotheque floor
You were driving me out of my mind
But I could have swore that I saw something more in your eyes
Although you were surrounded by beauty unbounded
Your glance was intended for me and though I tried to hide it I found myself looking to see you
So then you took your chances, you made your advances your touch took my breath away
But when you said hello, are you ready to go well I had just one thing to say
If you can't give me love that ain't enough let me go look for somebody else
If you can't give me feelings with old fashioned meanings you're just in love with yourself
If you can't give me love if you can't give me love

Well you may be the king of this discotheque scene
But I ain't looking for that what I need is a man, not some so-called aristocrat
If only you'd waited, just hesitated, or maybe just asked me to dance
But you really don't know why I don't want to go and that's why we don't stand a chance
If you can't give me love that ain't enough let me go look for somebody else
If you can't give me feelings with old fashioned meanings you're just in love with yourself
If you can't give me love if you can't give me love

Back To The Drive

East side, west side living on the best side doesn't mean you can't come with from the north 
The south whatever you're about I'll give you a guarantee you still got more to give
Twenty-five years doesn't make a lot of sense
If you're not out there rocking you're just sitting on the fence
Throw away the pills you won't need them anymore the limousine is waiting at your door
Let's go back let's go back we'll do the forty acre line when we all go back to the drive
Let's go back let's go back take a rollercoaster ride and we'll all go back to the drive

The glitter, the glamour the way we made it look and then we learned to use it like a hook
And it was so true, me and you we had never looked better we had every little thing it took
Precious metal dripping off our walls magazines whose stories made it crystal clear
Well that's good, but we always wanted more the limousine is waiting at your door
Let's go back let's go back we'll do the forty acre line when we all go back to the drive
Let's go back let's go back take a rollercoaster ride and we'll all go back to the drive
Let's go back let's go back we'll get the best things in life when we all go back to the drive
Let's go back let's go back some medication for the night when we all go back to the drive

We really lived every minute if you could do it, we did it
But now we're gonna eat it up again so let's get ready yes we can
Two pigs in a rock and roll pen we can't sit around while they raise the rent
They'll cut the tree and then we'll wonder where the cherries went
We'll pack fire for an encore the limousine is waitin' at your door
Let's go back let's go back we'll do the forty acre line when we all go back to the drive
Let's go back let's go back take a rollercoaster ride and we'll all go back to the drive
Let's go back let's go back we'll get the best things in life when we all go back to the drive
Let's go back let's go back some medication for the night when we all go back to the drive

15 Minutes Of Fame

Ego come and egos go, on the stairway to success
Justifying our existence, putting us to the test
We can all fall down, the mighty and tall we can all lose our crown
And the ones you hurt on the rocky road up trip you up, on the way back down

15 minutes of fame, Andy Warhol used to say
15 minutes of fame then they steal your star away
Come on play the game, come shine a light down on me
Take a bow, this is now 15 minutes of fame!

Money make the world go around our loss become their gain
Selfish fingers grab it all, greed is their domain
We can all want more, but diamonds and pearls are the need of a lonely soul
And dreams you dream in your darkest hour are desires in control

15 minutes of fame is all you get; money and fame gonna get you get
15 minutes of fame is all you get; so get it while you can
15 minutes of fame is all you get; money and fame and no regret
15 minutes of fame is all you get; so get it while you can

The Pixies Tribute EP

Where Is My Mind?

Stop with your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it and you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind where is my mind?
Where is my mind way out in the water see it swimming

I was swimming in the Caribbean animals were hiding behind the rock
Except a little fish bumped into me swear he was trying to talk to me
Where is my mind where is my mind?
Where is my mind way out in the water see it swimming

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it and you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind where is my mind?
Where is my mind way out in the water see it swimming
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground try this trick and spin it

Here Comes Your Man

Outside there's a box car waiting outside the family stew
Out by the fire breathing outside we wait until face turns blue
I know the nervous walking I know the dirty beard hangs
Out by the box car waiting take me away to nowhere plains
There is a wait so long you'll never wait so long
Here comes your man

Big shake on the box car moving
Big shake to the land that's falling down
Is a wind makes a palm stop blowing
A big, big stone fall and break my crown
There is a wait so long you'll never wait so long
Here comes your man

Monkey Gone To Heaven

There was a guy an underwater guy who controlled the sea
Got killed by ten million pounds of sludge from New York and New Jersey
This monkey's gone to Heaven

The creature in the sky got sucked in a hole
Now there's a hole in the sky and the ground's not cold
And if the ground's not cold everything is gonna burn
We'll all take turns I'll get mine, too
This monkey's gone to Heaven

If man is five then the devil is six
And if the devil is six then God is seven
This monkey's gone to Heaven

Greens And Blues

I'm not together, and you know it's true my bits all wander in the trees.
And if I ever seem a little strange would you excuse me please?
I said I’m human, but you know I lie I'm only visiting this shore.
I'll soon be leaving in the outbound tide I pray again we will meet.
I’m wasting your time, just talking to you maybe best you go on home.
I'll leave you alone, fade from your mind slip into the greens and blues.

I said I'm human, but you know I lied. I'm only visiting this shore.
I'll soon be leaving in the outbound tide. I pray again we will meet.
I’m wasting your time, just talking to you maybe best you go on home.
I'll leave you alone, fade from your mind slip into the greens and blues

Another Toe In The Ocean

I have a drink I start to sink I put my toe in the ocean
I have a drink I start to sink another toe in the ocean

Down on the shelf an elf I saw I took his picture he was waving
I passed again and now they're gone I think my picture is worth saving
No more waiting for a new day you gotta swim sometimes
I'll be here for the rest of my life up in the land of green
Making love in the cool black sand thinking where I've been
I put my toe in the ocean another toe in the ocean

Merry making with the fairies going down to the onion patch
To you and me to shining seas I see the lights of Edward Thatch
No more waiting for a new day you gotta swim sometimes
I'll be here for the rest of my life up in the land of green
Making love in the cool black sand thinking where I've been
I put my toe in the ocean I have a drink I start to sink another toe in the ocean
I have a drink I start to sink I put my toe in the ocean
I have a drink I start to sink another toe in the ocean
I have a drink I start to sink another toe in the ocean

Nimrod's Son

One night upon my motorcycle through the desert spread
And smashed my body so that all my friends thought I was dead
My sister held me close and whispered to my bleeding head
You are the son of a mother fucker
I shook all night and held her hand chocolate people well I'll be damned
Land of plenty, land of fun to find out I'm Nimrod's son
Bury me far away please bury me the joke has come upon me

In my motorcycle mirror I think about the life I've led
And how my soul's been aching all the holes where I have bled
My image spoke to me, yes to me and often said
You are the son of incestuous union
Now my head is clear my luke hands washed
My daughter's pure my son is tall
Land of plenty, land of fun to find out I'm Nimrod's son
Bury me far away please bury me the joke has come upon me

Moody Blues Tribute EP

Ride My See-Saw

Ride, ride my see-saw, take this place on this trip just for me.
Ride, take a free ride take my place have my seat it's for free.
I worked like a slave for years sweat so hard just to end my fears.
Not to end my life a poor man but by now, I know I should have run.

Run, run my last race take my place have this number of mine.
Run, run like a fire don't you run in in the lanes run for time.
Left school with a first class pass started work but as second class.
School taught one and one is two but right now, that answer just ain't true.

My world is spinning around everything is lost that I found.
People run, come ride with me let's find another place that's free.
Ride, ride my see-saw, take this place on this trip just for me.
Ride, take a free ride take my place have my seat it's for free.

The Word/OM

This garden universe vibrates complete some we get a sound so sweet.
Vibrations reach on up to become light and then through gamma, out of sight.
Between the eyes and ears there lay the sounds of colour and the light of a sigh.
And to hear the sun, what a thing to believe but it's all around if we could but perceive.
To know ultraviolet, infra-red and X-rays beauty to find in so many ways.
Two notes of the chord, that's our fluoroscope but to reach the chord is our lives hope.
And to name the chord is important to some so they give a word, and the word is OM

The rain is on the roof hurry high butterfly
As clouds roll past my head I know why the skies all cry
OM, OM, Heaven, OM

The Earth turns slowly round far away the distant sound
Is with us everyday can you hear what it say
OM, OM, Heaven, OM

The rain is on the roof hurry high butterfly
As clouds roll past my head I know why the skies all cry
OM, OM, Heaven, OM

Forever Autumn

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old and darker days are drawing near
The winter winds will be much colder bow you're not here
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky and one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them now you're not here
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on the breeze you blew away

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way you always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now because you're not here
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on the breeze you blew away

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes as if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever Autumn because you're not here
A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes as if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever Autumn because you're not here

Nights In White Satin

Nights in white satin never reaching the end
Letters I've written never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before
Just what the truth is I can't say anymore
Because I love you I love you how I love you

Gazing at people some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through they can understand
Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be you will be in the end
And I love you  I love you  how I love you

Nights in white satin never reaching the end
Letters I've written never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before
Just what the truth is I can't say anymore
Because I love you I love you how I love you

Breathe deep the gathering gloom watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament another day's useless energy spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one lonely man cries for love and has none.
New mother picks up and suckles her son senior citizens wish they were young.
Cold hearted orb that rules the night removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white but we decide which is right and which is an illusion.

Question

Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions about hate and death and war?
Because when we stop and look around us there is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed.
Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the door?
Because the truth is hard to swallow that's what the war of love is for.

It's not the way that you say it when you do those things to me.
It's more the way that you mean it when you tell me what will be.
And when you stop and think about it you won't believe it's true.
That all the love you've been giving has all been meant for you.
I'm looking for someone to change my life. I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what it's done to me to lose the love I knew could safely lead me through.

Between the silence of the mountains and the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in and she's waiting there for me.
But in the grey of the morning my mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping and the road that I must choose.
I'm looking for someone to change my life. I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what it's done to me to lose the love I knew could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew to learn as we grow old the secrets of our souls.
It's not the way that you say it when you do those things to me.
It's more the way you really mean it when you tell me what will be.

Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions about hate and death and war?
When we stop and look around us there is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed.

Have You Heard

Now you know that you are real show your friends that you and me
Belong to the same world turned on to the same word have you heard?
Now you know that you are free living all your life at ease.
Each day has its always a look down life's hallways, doorways to lead you there.

Now you know how nice it feels scatter good seed in the fields.
Life's ours for the making eternity's waiting, waiting for you and me.
Now you know that you are real show your friends that you and me
Belong to the same world turned on to the same word have you heard?

Doctor Feelgood Tribute EP

 Milk And Alcohol

White boy in town big black, blue sound
Nightclub, I paid in I got a stamp on my skin
Main attraction dead on his feet
Black man rhythm with a white boy beat
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol

Stay put I wanna go hard work, bad show
More liquor, it don't help
He's gonna die, it breaks my heart
I decided eventually this ain't doing a thing for me
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol

Got up, I walked out to the car, start it up
Feel bad, sad night I never saw a red light
Sirens were screaming all around
I pulled on over and I shut her down
A black cop gave me a shove with his gun
Said up against the wall and don't make a run
They got me on milk and alcohol
They got me on milk and alcohol

KEEP IT OUT OF SIGHT

You walk right in don't see nobody turn around
Get no connections you're just a face in any crowd
Some let you know the good times are coming
Just wait until you tell them right
Keep it out of sight keep it out of sight

You moving up the place is getting hot
You just can't lose with all that stuff that you got
You know the people understand you got a reputation
You don't wanna argue fuss and fight
Keep it out of sight keep it out of sight

You got enough you got a new thing on your mind
Don't have nobody you gotta leave the scene behind
You put your foot down on the boards
You don't know where you're going
But your headlights are burning up the night
Keep it out of sight keep it out of sight

ROXETTE

I saw you out the other night I saw somebody hold you tight
Roxette, I wonder who it could be 
It was so dark I couldn't see but I know it wasn't me
When I tell you it ain't right I know you've got to agree

I followed you into a show the band was playing rock and roll
Roxette, I didn't need to seek you out
The music played so loud that I could hear you through the crowd
You was telling everyone about a new guy you'd found

Roxette I gotta go away and leave you for a couple of days
Roxette, I don't want no more of your tricks
I'm gonna get some concrete mix and fill your back door up with bricks
And you better be there waiting when I get my business fixed

TAKE A TIP

Take a little tip from Mr. Johnny Green
Keep your rear view mirror clean
Keep an eye on the road and the one behind
Increase your speed if you're so inclined
Gotta to go faster gotta get along
Gotta to go faster put your foot to the floor
Push yourself just a little bit more

Take a little tip from Mr. Nosebleed Sam
Kissed the screen in a traffic jam
It minced his face and it bust his nose
Broke his leg and ripped his clothes
Gotta to go faster gotta get along
Gotta to go faster grit your teeth, clench your jaws
Push yourself just a little bit more

Take a little tip from Mr. Racetrack Tony
Stick it on the nose and ride your pony
Dance for the winner and ride your nag
Take your dinner from a new nose back
Gotta to go faster gotta get along
Gotta to go faster ride your nag until you are sore
Push yourself just a little bit more

THAT AIN'T THE WAY TO BEHAVE

You walked out and left me I didn't see you for days
And then you let me know you're coming back here again
When you write me a letter without a word to explain
That ain't the way to behave

Got up early in the morning just to see you arrive
The sun was rising there were clouds in the sky
Well I waited at the window I did not understand
When I saw you at the corner with another man
That ain't the way to behave

Now you're leaving you're taking everything you own
I ain't complaining I'm waiting until I'm alone
Well I just sit here smiling as she walk through the door
If I didn't love you still you'd be stretched out on the floor
That ain't the way to behave

I THOUGHT I HAD IT MADE

Sitting in a downtown discotheque
Saw a cute little girl that stole my breath away
Line of guys that had the eyes on her
To my surprise she said 'I beg you Sir'
I stay I thought I had it made

Sat at a table for a couple of drinks
Moving closer and she kissed my neck
That's when I knew that I was in with a chance
Records were a playing and she asked for a dance
They played I thought I had it made

We were a swinging to the moody blues
Looked into my eyes I thought I blew a fuse
Music stopped playing the lights went out
Dropped my drink when I heard them shout
It's a raid I thought I had it made

Hey everybody take a look at me
Didn't come to until a quarter past three
Got no money couldn't put up the bail
Judge said 'Son, I'm gonna keep you in jail.'
I stay I thought I had it made
Thought I had it I thought I had it made

U2 Tribute EP

Sunday Bloody Sunday

I can't believe the news today I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long must we sing this song?
How long because tonight, we can be as one tonight
Broken bottles under children's feet bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call it puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And the battle's just begun there's many lost, but tell me, who has won?
The trench is dug within our hearts and mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart
Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday
How long must we sing this song?
How long because tonight, we can be as one tonight
Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away wipe your bloodshot eyes
And it's true, we are immune when fact is fiction and TV reality
And today, the millions cry we eat and drink while tomorrow, they die
The real battle just begun to claim the victory Jesus won
On Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday

New Year's Day

All is quiet on New Year's Day a world in white gets underway
I want to be with you be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
I will be with you again I will be with you again

Under a blood red sky a crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few the newspaper says, says say it's true, it's true
And we can break through though torn in two we can be one
I will begin again I will begin again
Maybe the time is right maybe tonight
I will be with you again I will be with you again

And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day on New Year's Day

A Sort Of Homecoming

And you know it's time to go through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning lights in the distance
And you hunger for the time time to heal, desire time
And your earth moves beneath your own dream landscape
On borderland we run I'll be there tonight a high road out from here

The city walls are all gone down the dust, a smokescreen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the road on the side of a hill as the valley explode
Dislocated, suffocated the land grows weary of its own
Come away say I come awaysay I
On borderland we run and still we run
We run and don't look back I'll be there tonight

I'll be there tonight I believe I'll be there, so high I'll be there tonight
Come away and say, you say,come away you say
The wind will crack in wintertime this bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words just a scream
Tonight we'll build a bridge across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain she will die and live again tonight
And your heart beats so slow through the rain and falling snow
Across the fields of mourning lights in the distance
Don't sorrow don't weep for tonight at last I am coming home

Pride (In The Name Of Love)

One man come in the name of love one man come and go
One man come he to justify one man to overthrow
In the name of love what more in the name of love?
In the name of love what more in the name of love?

One man caught on a barbed wire fence one man he resist
One man washed up on an empty beach one man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love what more in the name of love?
In the name of love what more in the name of love?

Nothing like love there's nothing like love
Nobody like you there's nobody like you
Early morning, April 4 shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life they could not take your pride
In the name of love what more in the name of love?
In the name of love what more in the name of love?

Bullet The Blue Sky

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into the souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly a red orange glow
See the face of fear running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue bullet the blue

In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
You plant a demon seed you raise a flower of fire
We see them burning crosses see the flames, higher and higher
Bullet the blue sky bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue bullet the blue

Suit and tie comes up to me his face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush and he's peeling off those dollar bills
Slapping them down one hundred, two hundred
And I can see those fighter planes and I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts as children sleep through the alleys of a quiet city street
And take the staircase to the first floor turn the key and slowly unlock the door
As a man breathes into his saxophone and through the walls you hear the city groan
Outside, it's America outside, it's America
Bullet the blue sky bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue bullet the blue
See across the field see the sky ripped open
See the rain coming through the gaping wound
Pelting the women and children who run into the arms of America

All I Want Is You

You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you'll give me a highway with no-one on it
Treasure, just to look upon it all the riches in the night
You say you'll give me eyes in the moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness a harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you want your love to work out right
To last with me through the night
You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold your love not to grow cold
All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

Arcadia Tribute EP

 Election Day

Wild kind of look to the day opening eyes impale neon flickers
She moon, she turning away the city's her slave but he's cheating his mistress
She's moody and grey she's mean and she's restless so restless, so restless indeed
All over you as they say rumours or rivals yell at the strike force
Hi guys, by the way are you aware you're being illegal?
It's making your savior behaviour look evil excuse my timing but say
How'd you fit in with this flim, flam and judy maximum big surprise your smile is something new
I pull my shirt off and pray we're sacred and bound to suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray we're coming up on re-election day

Stretching my love down the way to your invitation stretching my body
Use your intuitive play because maybe we have more play time than money
Maximum big surprise she knows something new
I pull my shirt off and pray I'm saving myself to suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray we're coming up on re-election day

By roads and backways a lover's chance down wind
Cut open murmurs and sounds be calm hands on skin
Carry further, entangled strands all sing
I'm saving some time to slip away we could dance
Shouldn't be asking, wild and scheming could be my election day
Maximum big surprise you know something new
I pull my shirt off and pray we're sacred and bound to suffer this heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray we're coming up on re-election day

Say The Word

There's a skill, it's nothing we could learn at school
With a will to survive beneath this rule
Money thrives as corruptions president
Waste the life of the young and innocent
But after all and the resistant can be disobeyed
So, when we call, please don't think twice or be afraid
Hey, mister, say something

Say the word -if your eyes are open
Say the word -before this love is broken

The lights are down, but you don't sleep so tight
The words around that we play for keeps tonight
As we all know even the best made plans go wrong sometimes
But if it blows well be the ones they victimize
Hey, mister, say something to put this right

Keep Me In The Dark

When the evening's sunlight fingers stretch across the floor
Cover up your eyes with feathers softly close the door
Take me in your heavy lips take me where the shadows lie
I need your blind full secrets hunting fast and loose
The lacy intrigue of this weekend should not be abused
You could take me where you want could you take me all the time away
Wait a little longer don't go too far
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark

Tender is the truce I'm tasting watching you dictate
Heady nights of sleepless wasting a face I can't escape
We could wave the world goodbye to all of the boys, cheerio away
Wait a little longer don't go too far
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark

Help me now I'm slipping deeper tell me what to say
When without words you call me closer each time you turn away
Something inside you cries but is it something I'll never find away
Wait a little longer don't go too far
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark
Wait a little longer before we go too far
I wouldn't like to think you were keeping me in the dark

Goodbye Is Forever

Sometimes you have no choice sometimes you've got no voice to say
Say if you will the words say if your world is so gray
We can decide this there'll be no tears no tragedy
Try I wouldn't break and cry, if you walk away and leave me
Goodbye is forever
Goodbye is forever and ever

Sometimes it makes no sense
This side of cruel coincidence
Caught up in our own barbed wire
To set us free believe this
Goodbye is forever
Goodbye is forever and ever

The Promise

Those tears on a gaping voice who's stretching arms match the hunger of mine
These lips will they never join but always draw me closer and further entwined
With a promise dealer, understand all freedoms fade away
To a point of view where many different pathways meet
And we're standing on this precipice with nothing much to save
But the deep blue screams of falling dreams with our next move
Heaven hide your eyes
Heaven's eyes will never dry
They will never dry

The shades of a thousand steel come flashing by my face in the fury of war
In desolation and abandoned fields the hungry make their stand when they'll stand for no more
Hear the passion in their voices, see the heaven in their eyes
Their hopes and schemes are waiting dreams of less than paradise
And sometimes we make promises we never mean to keep
And blackmail is the only deal a promise dealer sees
Heaven hide your eyes
Heaven's eyes will never dry
They will never dry

Lady Ice

Lady Ice slips into her soul Lady Ice leaves a house so cold
Lady Ice did you know that the world was lonely too
Drifting snows searching plains and high
Turning stones as she looks for the heart somebody stole
She knows the violation in lovers arms without occasion
But who knows where to find the true heart for Lady Ice

Mesmerized in the candle flame
Compromised by the cruel bands of steel around her breasts
She knows the desolation of lovers arms their isolation
But who knows where to find the true heart for Lady Ice
Lady's eyes slip away from the part she plays in school

She knows of roles and hideaways
Suppose she knows but turns away
She knows where to find the true heart for Lady Ice
Lady Ice step outside your soul
Lady Ice do you know that the world is frightened too

Duran Duran Tribute EP

Planet Earth

Only came outside to watch the night fall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
Like some new romantic looking for the tv sound
You'll see I'm right some other time
Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is planet earth, you're looking at planet earth this is planet earth

My head is stuck on something precious
Let me know if you're coming down to land
Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I can't see you
Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is planet earth, you're looking at planet earth this is planet earth
Calling planet earth looking at planet earth this is planet earth
Calling planet earth looking at planet earth

Is There Something I Should Know?

Please please tell me now, please please tell me now
Please please tell me now, please please tell me now

I made a break I run out yesterday tried to find my mountain hideaway
Maybe next year maybe no go
I know you're watching me every minute of the day 
I've seen the signs and the looks and the pictures that give your game away
There's a dream that strings the road a broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to say
Please please tell me now is there something I should know
Is there something I should say that'll make you come my way
Do you feel the same because you don't let it show

People stare and cross the road from me and jungle drums they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind can you see in the snow
And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me you're about as easy as a nuclear war
There's a dream that strings the road with broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to say
Please please tell me now is there something I should know
Is there something I should say that'll make you come my way
Do you feel the same because you don't let it show

Please please tell me now is there something I should know
Is there something I should say that'll  make you come my way
Please please tell me now can you see what makes me blow
Can you see how much I'd die everytime it passes by
Please please tell me now what it takes to make it show
Is there something I should know is there something I should know

Hungry Like The Wolf

Dark in the city, night is a wire steam in the subway, earth is afire
Woman, you want me, give me a sign and catch my breathing even closer behind
In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt down, I'm after you
Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd and I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme I'm on the hunt down, I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine and I'm hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest, too close to hide I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight you feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind
In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt down, I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found and I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme I howl and I whine, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, all running inside and I'm hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground, I break from the crowd I'm on the hunt down, I'm after you
I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found and I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme I'm on the hunt down, I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine and I'm hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground, I break from the crowd I'm on the hunt down, I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found and I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme I howl and I whine, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, all running inside and I'm hungry like the wolf

New Moon On Monday

Shake up the picture the lizard mixture with your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers all of which I deny
I said it again could I please rephrase it maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer but I'll wait till you decide
Send me your warning siren as if I could ever hide last time La Luna
I light my torch and wave it for the new moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite

Breaking away with the best of both worlds a smile that you can't disguise
Every minute I keep finding clues that you leave behind
Save me from these reminders as if I'd forget tonight this time La Luna
I light my torch and wave it for the new moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite

Ordinary World

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio still I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all crazy, some would say
Where is the life that I recognize gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find 
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive
And I don't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive
Everyone is my world, I will learn to survive
Anyone is my world, I will learn to survive
Anyone is my world everyone is my world

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say pride will tear us both apart
Well now pride's gone out the window across the rooftops
Run away left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me crazy, some would say
Where is my friend when I need you most gone away

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Here besides the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

Wild Boys

The wild boys are calling on their way back from the fire
In August moon's surrender to a dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory reckless and so hungered
On the razors edge you trail because there's murder by the roadside
In a sore afraid new world they tried to break us looks like they'll try again

Wild boys never lose it wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes wild boys always shine

You got sirens for a welcome there's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing while you're dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory where is all you angels
Now the figureheads have fell and lovers war with arrows over
Secrets they could tell they tried to tame you looks like they'll try again

Talk Talk Tribute EP

 The Party's Over

The party's over I never thought you'd stay
The love of laughter my truth's no longer sane
The party's over much older than you'd say
THIS FRIEND OF NO-ONE TIME, CREASES ON YOUR FACE

Take a look at the kids I've been losing track
This crime of being uncertain of your love is all I'm guilty of
The party's over I never thought you'd stay
A style of reason this life of masquerade

Take a look at the kids I've been losing track
This crime of being uncertain of your love is all I'm guilty of
Take this punishment away name the crime I'm guilty of
Too much hope I've seen as virtue name the crime I'm guilty of

It's My Life

Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose one half won't do
I've asked myself, how much do you commit yourself
It's my life don't you forget
It's my life it never ends

Funny how I blind myself, I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon, afraid to lose
I'd tell myself, what good do you do convince myself
It's my life don't you forget
It's my life it never ends

I've asked myself, how much do you commit yourself?
It's my life don't you forget
Caught in the crowd it never ends
It's my life don't you forget
Caught in the crowd it never ends
It's my life don't you forget
Caught in the crowd it never ends

Tomorrow Started

Don't look back until you've tried a line so openly a lie
Outside of you, it's just tomorrow starting
I've said I'm wrong when I've been right
I've seen times when I've been sure but still I find
I'm just the first that you take are there reasons everybody pays
They never seem to be any use
They never seem to be any use
It's just tomorrow starting

Don't look back until you've tried
With time you'll endlessly arrive
Outside of use with just tomorrow starting
See my eyes tell me I'm not lying
I'm just the first that you take
Are there reasons everybody pays
They never seem to be any use
They never seem to be any use
It's just tomorrow started

Life's What You Make It

Life's what you make it can't escape it
Yesterday's favourite don't you hate it?
Everything's all right life's what you make it
Everything's all right life's what you make it

Life's what you make it don't backdate it
Don't try to shade it beauty is naked
Everything's all right life's what you make it
Everything's all right life's what you make it

Life's what you make it celebrate it
Anticipate it yesterday's faded
Nothing can change it life's what you make it
Everything's all right life's what you make it
Everything's all right life's what you make it

I Don't Believe In You

Now the fun is over where do words begin
I'm trying to find the path ahead any way you say it
The charade goes on but your eyes won't see it it's the same old song
I don't believe you I don't believe you

Promises so golden years have proved them wrong
I'm trying to leave some self respect any way you say it
Our decline goes on but your pride won't heed it it's the same old song
I don't believe you I don't believe you I don't believe in you

And the way you play it is the way you want
Any way you sing it it's the same old song
I don't believe you I don't believe you

Simple Minds Tribute EP

 Promised You A Miracle

Promised you a miracle belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises as golden days break wondering
Chance as love takes a train summer breeze and brilliant light
One love she sees He controls on love love sails to a new life

Promised you a miracle belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises as golden days break wondering
Only love she sees he controls on love life mirrors a cure
Everything is possible with promises everything is possible

I promised you a miracle belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises as golden days break wondering
Chance reflects on them a while love screams so quietly
Slipping back on golden times breathing with sweet memories
Promised you a miracle belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises as golden days break wondering

Everything is possible in the game of life everything is possible

Chance lost pearls of great price take care of family

A burning dream you can be Queen everything is possible

Alive And Kicking

You turn me on, you lift me up
And like the sweetest cup I'd share with you
You lift me up, don't you ever stop, I'm here with you
Now it's all or nothing because you say you'll follow through
You follow me, and I follow you

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside who's gonna save you?
Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, until your love is, Alive

You lift me up to the crucial top, so I can see
You lead me on, till the feelings come and the lights that shine on
But if that don't mean nothing like if someday it should fall through
You'll take me home where the magic's from and I'll be with you

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Don't say goodbye in the final seconds who's gonna save you?
Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking
Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking

Don't You (Forget About Me)

Won't you come see about me I'll be alone dancing you know it
Tell me your troubles and doubts giving me everything inside and out 
And love's strange so real in the dark think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart when the light gets into your heart
Don't you forget about me
Don't you forget about me

Will you stand above me look my way, never love me rain keeps falling down
Will you recognise me call my name or walk on by rain keeps falling down
Don't you try to pretend it's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses vanity, insecurity
Don't you forget about me I'll be alone, dancing you know it
Going to take you apart I'll put us back together at heart
Don't you forget about me
Don't you forget about me

As you walk on by will you call my name?
As you walk on by will you call my name?
When you walk away  will you walk away?
Will you walk on by come on, call my name
Will you call my name?
When you walk on by and you call my name

Belfast Child

When my love said to me meet me down by the gallow tree.
For it's sad news I bring, about this old town and all that it's offering.
Some say troubles abound some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down.
One day we'll return here when the Belfast Child sings again

Brothers, sisters, where are you now as I look for you right through the crowd.
All my life here I've spent with my faith in God the Church and the Government.
But there's sadness abound some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down.
One day we'll return here when the Belfast Child sings again,

So come back Billy, won't you come on home?
Come back Mary, you've been away so long.
The streets are empty, and your mother's gone.
The girls are crying, it's been so long.
And your father's calling, come on home.
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home?
Come back people, you've been gone a while,
And the war is raging, through the Emerald Isle.
That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood,
All the girls are crying but all's not lost.
The streets are empty, the streets are cold.
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home?
The streets are empty life goes on.
One day we'll return here when the Belfast Child sings again,

She's A River

Shadow let go there's something you should know
I just found my new direction and I hope you like the key
Like the air that led me to it she's like the wind that sucked me through it
She's a river and she's turning there in front of me
Stand back get back She'll paint your blue skies black
She gives bullet proof protection got a resurrection feel
When I'm scared, and about to lose she gives me travelling shoes
She's a river and she's turning in front of me and I go blind wasting my time
While the rivers in front of me that's where I'm going to be

Shine on, get on twilight from dusk to dawn
She's the spirit of creation She's the last chance guarantee
Got a myriad of poses sweet miracles and roses
She's a river and she's turning in front of me
Because when I find my state of mind
The river's in front of me that's where I'm going to be

They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms so take me on that freedom ride
My heart is like a hunter's in the silent moon my nerves just feel electrified
Meet me on the staircase outside a darkened room light me like a naked flame
The voice of Mother Nature states all things must pass and nothing can remain
They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms so take me on that freedom ride
You raise me like a building to the very top rush me to the end of time
You fill me full of danger you give me future shock then you leave me wasted dying
Stand back get back she is a river and she's turning in front of me 
And I go blind wasting my time the river's in front of me

The Sweet Tribute EP

Blockbuster

You better beware, you better take care
You better watch out if you've got long black hair
He'll come from behind, you'll go out of your mind
You'd better not go, you'd never know what you'll find

You look in his eyes, don't be surprised
If you don't know what's going on behind his disguise
Nobody knows where Buster goes
He'll steal your woman out from under your nose

Does anyone know the way did we hear someone say:
We just haven't got a clue what to do
Does anyone know the way there's got to be a way to block Buster

The cops are out, they're running about
Don't know if they'll ever be able to block Buster out
He's gotta be caught, he's gotta be taught
Because he's more evil than anyone here ever thought

Set Me Free

Gagged, ball and chained feel just the same
Heads on the wall maybe you're just playing games
Set me free
Mauled by her hound hanging around
Is this for real I don't know when I'll be found
Set me free
Set me free set me free, from you

Taken by force by you of course
Far from my bed I know I'd rather be dead
Set me free
Set me free set me free, from you

Fire in my brain burn me insane
Making your mark don't leave me here in the dark
Set me free
Call me a saint that's what I ain't
Inside my head maybe I'd feel better dead
Set me free
Set me free set me free, from you

Fox On The Run

I don't wanna know your name because you don't look the same the way you did before
O.K. you think you got a pretty face but the rest of you is out of place you looked alright before
Fox on the run you scream and everybody comes a running take a run and hide yourself away
Foxy is on the run Foxy Fox on the run and hide away

You, you talk about just every band but the names you drop are second hand I've heard it all before
I don't wanna know your name because you don't look the same the way you did before
Fox on the run you scream and everybody comes a running take a run and hide yourself away
Foxy is on the run Foxy Fox on the run and hide away

The Ballroom Blitz

It's been getting so hard living with the things you do to me
My dreams are getting so strange I'd like to tell you everything I see
I see a man at the back as a matter of fact his eyes are red as the sun
And a girl in the corner, let no one ignore her because she thinks she's the passionate one
It was like lightning everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing and they all started grooving
And the man at the back said: "Everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said: "Boy, I wanna warn ya"
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz

I'm reaching out for something touching nothing's all I ever do
I softly call you over when you appear, there's nothing left of you
Now the man at the back is ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's mourner she could kill you with a wink of her eye
It was electric so frantically hectic
And the band started leaving because they all stopped breathing
And the man at the back said: "Everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said: "Boy, I wanna warn ya"
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz

New York Connection

It takes eight days where I wanna go well, there's just me am I only go
I've got no face to make this slow the further I travel, the less I know
Somebody help me get home I can't spend my whole life alone
Somebody help me get home I don't wanna be on my own

Won't somebody point me in the right direction because all I need is a New York connection
Really need a woman's affection I've got to make the close connection
Somebody help me get home I can't spend my whole life alone
Somebody help me get home I don't wanna be all alone

Tall Girls

Straight out of school and they're on the street
Don't know much about the people they meet
Can't find a way to speak when their legs are tired and weak
Tall girls, tall girls on their knees
Short girls, short girls stand and ease

Seventeen think they know the score
Soon found out there's a whole lot more
Feel the need, feel it ache mind and body start to shake
Tall girls, tall girls on their knees
Short girls, short girls stand and ease

Disco here, disco there they've been picked up everywhere
Looking straight into the eyes are they thinking about the size
Tall girls, tall girls on their knees
Short girls, short girls stand and ease
They sure stand and ease
It's the tall girls the tall girls on their knees
The short girls the short girls stand and ease

Heathen Tribute EP

 Mercy Is No Virtue

Rip the pages from the book of lies never will we ever fall to compromise
Now we're back to set the record straight fueled by anger, our pain has turned to hate
Symptoms of stagnation are coming to an end
Solitude's frustration has been our only friend
Now we must break free.
Mercy is no virtue when the mercyful is betrayed
There must be some kind of justice before it's too late

Right at you straight between the eyes this relentless attack will be no disguise
Things have been said that just are not true hear what I say when I say this to you
Symptoms of stagnation are coming to an end
Solitude's frustration has been our only friend
Now we must break free.
Mercy is no virtue, that's what the merciless say
When justice is lost, the system fails, and all we do is pay

Take a look around because the band is back in town
And vengeance and revenge is what they seek
If you see them coming you better step aside
Because now they'll show no mercy
You can see it in their eyes because mercy is no virtue

Timeless Cell

Prophecy's fear that the end is near as the world takes its final stage
The hearts of many are full of disbelief as demons fill the air
Raping the minds of the future bringing their faith to an end
Blocking the light of the spiritual guide leaving us empty again

Fire you will see fire as the world becomes a living hell
Taking the forces of evil for granted and that is where you failed
Night after night, you darken the light filling the shadows with fear
Your thirst for the blood will be your undoing locked in a timeless cell

How many times must we live this life before we see the truth
Tempted by the fruit of deceit juice to replenish our youth
How can you live in such hatred how can you live in such fear?
Why is your conscience empty with lies while your cup is forever filled

 Hypnotized

Masses form into religion to fulfill their lives
Seeking answers in the bible, hear their helpless cries
Mindlessly, no thought, they follow false prophets of the flesh
Depend on the spirit of the One to grant their every wish

It's not too late to change your fate you must control your own mind
You're the only one that can release you it's yourself you've got to find
Fools give money to the church to earn their place with God
In our eyes it's contradiction and religious fraud
Hypnotized by what they say your mind is under their control
Hypnotized you will obey your fate will soon be called

You must make your own decision of what you think is real
Your soul was given on to you and not for these thieves to steal
Don't be fooled by these hypnotic forces, they will rob you blind
There is no excuse for their actions making a mockery of mankind

Masses form into religion to fulfill their lives
Seeking answers in the bible, hear their helpless cries
Don't be fooled by these hypnotic forces, they will rob you blind
There is no excuse for their actions making a mockery of mankind

Open The Grave

Feel the heat from the sweat of the cold bodies withered decayed and old
They lay beneath the cold, black earth the final resting place, destined form birth
Buried alive in a prison below left to die in a six foot hole
As he feels his time has run out He hears someone above, he begins to shout
Please open the grave and let me out
I'm still alive, can you hear me shout
Open the grave and then you will see
For it's not a spirit that you hear, it's me set me free, set me free

He begins to hear the sound of a pick someone is digging, but time is ticking
Now he begins to drip with sweat because he knows his prayers haven't been answered yet
Buried deep in a prison below left to die in a six foot hole
Seeing his life pass before his eyes hoping that someone will hear his cries
Open the grave and let me out
I'm still alive, can you hear me shout
Please, open the grave and then you will see
I'm not a spirit, and I can breathe because I'm free, yes I'm free

The churches of the world are crumbling feel the fall of tower of cultures
As your flesh is ripped by social vultures
So here I stand after the war my body is broken and my mind is torn
Colliding with time, past and future so tell me if I'm in the dead past or ruined future
The churches of the world are crumbling feel the fall of tower of cultures
As your flesh is ripped by social vultures
So here I stand after the war my body is broken and my mind is torn

Bloodkult

Endless cycle, in hungry packs they feed
Survival in turmoil is the way of the streets
There is no honor among thieves, no concern or remorse
Legions upon legions march in a centrifugal force
Bloodkult senseless blood will spill
Kill first the code is kill or be killed

Hopeless denial, desensitized to death
Nothing more than a passing glance to aggravate your arrogance
Deadly weapon in your hand, confidence in the steel
Trigger is your only friend, the bullet's fate is revealed
Corruption's running fast and deep, and there is no cure
Contamination infects the rich and the poor
Humanity is lost, their mind are filled with dread
Demons of wrath condemned to eternal flames
Bloodkult senseless blood will spill
Kill first the code is kill or be killed

Prisons and graveyards are filled with this plague
This vicious cycle, is too far gone to be saved
Nightmares, cold stares, better run for your life
Gunshots, sirens wailing, cuts through like a knife
Endless cycle, in hungry packs they feed
Survival in turmoil is the way of the streets
There is no honor among thieves, no concern or remorse
Legions upon legions march in a centrifugal force
Bloodkult senseless blood will spill
Kill first the code is kill or be killed
Bloodbath drenched in the crimson reign
Bloodkult disciples of death in vain

Dying Season

It is dying season bodies dropping in an endless grave
Promise, promise broken lives are lost, dissolved in vain
War, war and treason power minds set the stage
Loss, loss of reason disappearing in an endless rage
Fist full of sand, mouth full of disdain stepping stones melt into flames
Ancient methods historically stained soldiers marching onward into dust

Cradle the crying, extol the dying bloodshed like paint to the wall
Sanity scarring, a prayer underlying a season, a lifetime to fall
Crack in the sky, black is the night a towering shadow divides,
Piercing creation, sever a nation compose a season to die

It is crying season bombs are blasting with a deadly force
Tears, tears are falling a river stained must change its course
Lost, lost forever sacrifice is fate's reward
Time, everlasting only memories and timeless scars
Fist full of sand, mouth full of disdain stepping stones melt into flames
Ancient methods historically stained soldiers marching onward into dust

Wars result, is it really worth the cost?
So much pain, the suffering never ends
War and fate, is where the bullets fly
Dust to dust, when death and life collide
Fist full of sand, mouth full of disdain
Stepping stones melt into flames
Ancient methods historically stained
Soldiers marching onward into dust

Type O Negative Tribute EP II

Christian Woman

Forgive her for she knows not what she does
A cross upon her bedroom wall from grace she will fall.
An image burning in her mind and between her thighs.
A dying God-man full of pain when will you cum again?
Before him beg to serve or please on your back or knees.
There's no forgiveness for her sins prefers punishment?
Would you suffer eternally or internally?
For her lust She'll burn in hell her soul done medium well.
All through mass manual stimulation salvation.

Corpus Christi She needs
Corpus Christi Corpus Christi.
Corpus Christi She needs
Corpus Christi Corpus Christi.
Body of Christ. She needs.
Body of Christ.Body of Christ.
She'd like to know God love God feel her God.
Inside of her deep inside of her
Jesus Christ looks like me Jesus Christ,
Jesus Christ looks like me Jesus Christ.

Too Late: Frozen

Too late for apologies.
It's too late it's too late

So you've come to say you're very sorry.
It won't happen again forgive me?
Time will not heal these wounds.
And I'm bleeding because of you.
It's too late it's too late,
It's too late too late for apologies.

Was everything we had just a joke?
I've ran out of patience, tears and hope.
Love does not conquer all.
And I'm screaming because of you.
It's too late it's too late,
It's too late too late for apologies

In the shadow of the light from a black sun.
Frigid statue standing icy blue and numb.
Where are the frost giants I've begged for protection I'm freezing.
Cold winter winds that chill my heart with sleet & snow.
Not from the north come to this glacial abode.
But from your dimension cryogenic limbo I'm freezing frozen

Blood & Fire

No more nights of blood & fire.
No more nights of blood & fire.

I always thought we'd be together.
And that our love could not be better.
Well with no warning you were gone.
I still don't know what went wrong.
You don't know what I've been through.
Just want to put my love in you.
No more nights of blood & fire.
No more nights of blood & fire.

All those special memories.
Now I bleed for you burn for me.
Perhaps I was just dreaming.
When I think these things had real meaning.
You don't know what I've been through.
Just want to put my love in you.
No more nights of blood & fire.
No more nights of blood & fire.

Love eternal lust infernal.
Bleeding, burning needing, yearning.
Moi cherie you remain a mystery to me.
I see your face in every flame.
With no answers I have only myself to blame.
Of all the women I have known they're not you I'd rather be alone.
No more nights of blood & fire.
No more nights of blood & fire.

It's Never Enough

Fuck you God with my blood, time, sweat and tears my goal is to dissolve her fears
Fuck you God self-imposed imprisonment in this way feels she must repent
In a cell denial made break the lock, free her from her cage
Fuck you God realizing her days be few just want to make her comfortable
No matter what I do no matter what I do it's never enough
No matter what I do no matter what I do it's never enough

Don't take her I'll lose my mind when it's her time she's so scared, it's unbearable
Can't believe God could be so cruel
She held me tight childhood fright I'm so scared, there's no remedy
But so glad for the memories
Fuck you God for her one day undestroyed I'd give my soul or life with joy
Fuck you God angel face of saintly love I curse Christ that she suffers such
No matter what I do no matter what I do it's never enough
No matter what I do no matter what I do it's never enough

Who Will Save The Sane?

Periodic tableware psychotropic science fare
But who will save the sane some beings just can't change
Now crawl on by a fake tear in your eye and think isn't he strange
Pseudogasmic chemistry necromorphic apathy
But who will save the sane some beings just can't change
Now crawl on by a fake tear in your eye and think isn't he strange

Physical laws unapplied Hamper my quest
Unsurreal world of unfailed HIV tests
Der ubermensch warning of pi techno junkies - 3.141592653
Come on boy tell me tell me
Tentative ambulance date bound for G ward
Bear trap psychiatrist bait chew my paw off
Unmercilessly we will take you away to slumber
But only if you can recite avogadro's number
Come on boy tell me tell me
But who will save the sane some beings just can't change
Now crawl on by a fake tear in your eye and think isn't he strange
Now crawl on by a fake tear in your eye and think wasn't he strange

Gravitational Constant

One two three four I don't wanna live no more
Well I've got no more reason to live and I've got no more love to give
Tonight's the night I'll paint the town red I'll put another hole through my head
Unjustifiable existence unjustifiable
Unjustifiable existence unjustifiable existence
Now I feel the weight of a world on my back
I've seen the future the future looks black
It's what I must do I have no reservations
Ain't talk about self preservation
Unjustifiable existence unjustifiable
Unjustifiable existence unjustifiable existence

Gravity crushing me gravity crushing me
I feel something pulling me down
Forcing me between myself and the ground
Of all the nightmares that ever came true
I think that gravity is you
Unjustifiable existence unjustifiable
Unjustifiable existence unjustifiable existence
Gravity crushing me gravity crushing me

I've got a problem a problem with hate I can't go on dragging this weight
A cold steel hand that won't let go acid-filled thoughts out of control
I built myself a nice little cage with bars of anger and a lock of rage
I can't help asking who's got the key when I know damned well it's me

No I ain't hinting for sympathy I'm used to dealing with apathy
The scars on my wrists may seem like a crime just wish me better luck next time
So what if I died a thousand deaths you think I'm insane but I have no regrets
One more time won't matter no question suicide is self expression.

Circle Jerks Tribute EP

Deny Everything

I'm innocent until I'm proven guilty
Deny everything, deny everything
I'm being framed it's all a setup
Deny everything, deny everything

I'm just a spoke in the wheel just a part of the puzzle
A part of the game I'm being framed
Innocent until I'm proven guilty
Deny everything deny everything

Murder The Disturbed

Really queer me sitting here you seem so sincere
Your daughter flips the burgers as you reach for a second beer
Mom says grace,she's learned her place the cruelest years are on her face
Two car garage, a mastercharge her tits aren't firm, at least they're large
Murder the disturbed and all those perturbed
Kill the democrats support tuition tax

You served a meal, you spoke with zeal you think you've still sex appeal
Your daughter serves desert as you enact your biggest deal
Success has shown a second home the kids are cute, how they've grown
One is dead, one's on reds she goes to school, she's too well fed
Murder the disturbed and all those perturbed
Kill the democrats reinstate the draft murder the disturbed

Status Clinger

Everybody out for the money running around
Talk about yourself all the time getting me down
Think about the needs of the many, out of sight, out of mind
Gotta get ahead turn my back leave you behind
Point blank take a leap pressure play it as it lays
You're getting too heavy for me everyone you meet you bow to their feet

You're a status clinger, nice to meet you
Who do you know, where do you go
You're a status clinger, now I see you I can't take it
You're a social climber status clinger
Looking through you nothing to see
You're a social climber status clinger I can't take it anymore

Have you seen her, have you seen him have you seen them I don't know
Better think it over, better look out I gotta go
Escalator, elevator, butt in front of the line
Gotta get ahead turn my back just a matter of time
Straight up take a leap the buzz is out out on the street
Pressure too heavy for me everyone I meet seems to agree

Party parasite hanging around bothering me
Transparent user looking through you nothing to see
Manipulating loser what do you have whats in it for me

All Wound Up

I'm all wound up ready to go
All wound up ready to go
Ring my buzzer clang my bell
Watch me go like a bat out of hell

Like a jungle cat on the prowl
I'll be on you and take you down
Hear the noise feel the sounds
Pound this beat right in the ground

American Heavy Metal Weekend

The Japanese are buying up on guitars invade our beaches, driving cars
Hondas, Toyotas, Insuzurus fight them beat them got a lot to lose
Fenders, Gibsons, stack them high stack them up against the sky
Speakers blasting, blasting in vans make them wish they didn't land
It's an American heavy metal weekend
It's an American heavy metal weekend

The English, sure we'll give them a break with their Hiwatts and their Marshalls
It started here make no mistake it's alway real and never fake
Platform boots and puffy hair gotta raise and scare
Metal merchants peddle their wares no U.S. made buyer beware
It's an American heavy metal weekend
It's an American heavy metal weekend

What I want, what I need is made here in the U.S.A.
Never ashamed, always proud always hard, always loud
Amplifiers vibrate across the globe send those rats in their holes
It's an American heavy metal weekend
It's an American heavy metal weekend

Back Against The Wall

You yell out in defiance you're backed up against the wall
They're up there clutching their guns and it makes you feel real small
So you can cuss, spit, throw bottles broken glass
But it all ends up with handcuffs on your hands

You run around and spray paint graffiti on everybody's wall
You think that's bitching man that ain't nothing at all!
So you can cuss,spit,throw bottles broken glass
But it ends up with a swift kick to your ass

Sadus Tribute EP

 Smackdown

You can't feel what I feel can't see what I see
Don't know what I know you'll never be me, know me
SMACKDOWN
Why are you here? I have no fear
Show me what you hold so dear
I'll smash you, crush you, break you, burn you
SMACKDOWN
When you feel the meltdown then you start to breakdown

Show some respect, better come correct, can't eject
What did you expect, twist your neck you come to face me, disgrace me
SMACKDOWN
Talk'n trash you wanna clash I'll kick your motherfuckin' ass
There's no way, it's not your day so go away, that's what I say
SMACKDOWN
When you feel the meltdown then you start to breakdown
Now I lay the smack down

Stand down I'll set your straight your weak take has no weight
No gift to communicate no skill to articulate

I'll show you where you need to go
I will throw down, take it down
Time for me to break you down
SMACKDOWN
When you feel the meltdown then you start to breakdown
Now I lay the smack down

What you've said can't be undone it was over before you begun
You have lost and I have won the record shows you got run
When you feel the meltdown then you start to breakdown
Now I lay the smack down

Out For Blood

I answer to no one and make no mistake
Got my thumb on the pulse of the nation and it's mine to take
A whole new world is in my eyes a land of anger why must they die?
Out for blood
MURDER...lashing out, the will to kill, to take a life
KILLER.....the one who slays, the blood on hand, the face of man
SINNER.....the word they say, the book obey, damn you man
RULER......the king of man, the will on hand, the one to obey
The weak must abide with power to break down their pride insanity, confusion presides
The weak must fall with power that threatens us all the will to kill them all

You can't shut me out I'm going to get in got my eyes on the territory and what lies within
You pry and pry I won't let you win you try and try I can't give in
Out for blood
MURDER...lashing out, the will to kill, to take a life
KILLER.....the one who slays, the blood on hand, the face of man
SINNER.....the word they say, the book obey, damn you man
RULER......the king of man, the will on hand, the one to obey
The weak must abide with power to break down their pride insanity, confusion presides
The weak must fall with power that threatens us all the will to kill them all

Through The Eyes Of Greed

Eyes of the Greedy See what they will
Lust of the Flesh A need to fulfill
The Fool and the Liar Must feed the desire The Will to acquire
The Eyes of the Greedy will always Crave for more
Feasting hungry Eyes on this worthless Horde
The Eyes of the Greedy will see no Sleep or Rest
Are you saved or enslaved Trapped by Need to have
Feel it clench you Do you want to give in
Through the Eyes the Will to see what they want to see
Looking through the Eyes of Greed
Feel Temptation burn Each earns his own Fate
Each one has a will to Live Blind are the Eyes that Need
Looking through the Eyes of Greed

Eyes of the Greedy See what they will
Lust of the Flesh A need to fulfill
Looking through the Eyes of Greed Feel Temptation burn
Each earns his own Fate Each one has a Will to Live
Blind are the Eyes that need Looking through the Eyes of Greed

Good Riddance

Struck down in a flash of pain killed swiftly in its own domain
Struggling for what is left brutal shock, dismemberment
Ineffective attempts to flee body stuck to an instant grave
Makes no difference left to be can't you see the life in me is draining away?

Destiny calls don't fall impending death struggling to be now freed
Life passed on a million times struck down body becomes fused to the ground
Mangled body flattened corpse stench of rot hammered carnage crusting thing
Maggots breed degenerate mortified disintegrate eroding bone melts to stone
Collapse to dust good riddance

Struck down in a flash of pain killed swiftly in its own domain
Struggling for what is left brutal shock, dismemberment
Ineffective attempts to flee body stuck to an instant grave
Makes no difference left to be can't you see the life in me is draining away?
Good riddance

Words Of War

One look and all were blind - All that have seen
All the pain - It can't live without me
Time is blind - As it runs right over me
All the pain it seems - Seems to find me
One word for you... hate
One step and you're history crushed dead
Wipe you out... deathly blow finishing stroke bloodshed
Homicidal - I am the one executioner of punishment
Hate - Words of war - I create
Prosper until death becomes the words of war

All that you have heard - All that you will find
Weakness by corruption - Pollution of the mind
Death by my say... cruel
No mercy by me - Immolate fate so cold
Bloodthirsty no one escape
The words of hate the world to cry... hate
Words of war I create
Prosper until death becomes the words of war

Mask

You hide behind a mask too confused to show what's real
Plastic sense of value to go with your plastic way of life
Your self-righteousness is corrupted by your tendencies to avoid your lies
Paranoia - Hypocrite - You burn another bridge
Your self-righteousness is corrupted by your tendencies to avoid confrontations causing 
A fake relationship with the ones who support you and as you burn yet another bridge 
You fall into the trap of becoming a hypocrite of all the accusations you once slayed me with".
Afraid - Confused - Coward behind the mask

You hide behind a mask too confused to tell the truth
Backwards way of thinking to go with your backward way of life
You relay a false confidence and a sense of friendly surroundings but behind closed doors 
You burn with hatred and loathing to anyone honest to not provide you with a total worship 
And give you full control which causes you to lose it and go insan
Afraid - Confused - Coward behind the mask

How could you not think that I won't even know
How could you not think that I can't even see
How could you not think that I don't even feel
How could I forget the words you said to me
How could I forget the things you took from me
How could I forget the way you were to me
I don't even care who's behind the mask don't fucking care who you really are

Revocation Tribute EP

None Shall Be Spared (All Shall Be Speared)

Taste of the poison sword without warning, I will hunt you down; I'll run you through.
Malice is my reward my whole existence; violating and tormenting fools.
Worship my hateful idols omnipotence assured.
A victor without rivals; a twisting, swirling chaos lord.
Grieve lamenting fallen brothers retch the stench of gruesome remains.
My bloodied touch behind all suffering ever wreaked upon the plains.

I dwell in devastation, carnage declares my name.
Merciless assassination disembody you by axe and shrapnel, blade and flame.
To look at my face is demise my eyes blaze with captured souls.
A god of unlimited power beyond all mortal control.
Grieve lamenting fallen brothers retch the stench of gruesome remains.
My bloodied touch behind all suffering ever wreaked upon the plains.

Decimation, ruination I bring these plagues upon thee;
Hate! Rape! Carnage massacre!

Dismantle The Dictator

The corpse master presides over congregation zombified indoctrinating the populace.
A military nation upon the eve of war.
Inflicts retaliation on enemies in distant shores.
Gripped by an iron hand military industrial exterminating the dissident voice.
A military nation upon the eve of war.
Inflicts retaliation on enemies in distant shores.

The fog of propaganda instilled across generations.
Inhibits thought, sapping vital motivations.
Proliferation instead of disarmament.
Destined to fail, meltdown is imminent!
Overlord overthrown
A challenge to rise from the rhetoric
Dismantle dictators and rancorous politics

Harlot

What depths will you sink to it surprises me every day you fit the part so beautifully
And deserve an award for the role you play you are sickening.
It's never-ending, the cycle stays the same fractured façade.
Why put it on we both know exactly what you are.
Saccharine-scented skin rotten from within.
Stench of putrefaction, you reek of vermin.
On your knees Queen of Disease enveloped in your misery,
The epitome of disloyalty fill the void with iniquity.

Blacked out, awakened by the shame cast out, defiled and defamed.
You're a cesspool, lowest of the low.
You're the starlet that everybody knows.
What's behind the harlot's smile is it denial?
Lights out baby, the show is fucking over!
On your knees Queen of Disease enveloped in your misery,
The epitome of disloyalty fill the void with iniquity.

Arbiters Of The Apocalypse

Pestilence, herald of sickness exordium of our doom
Consuming both the old and the young
Precious innocents stillborn in the womb
The first of the plagues befallen man
This woeful curse brought forth by our own hands
Broken are the seals, commence the end times
Open the gates of destruction

Battles abound on marches war hear the galloping hooves of the horsemen
Carnage divine, the four shall align apocalyptic judgement
A black shadow cast across the land feast your eyes on the scales of starvation
Famine devours all fulfilling this prophecy of deprivation
The arbiters of the apocalypse come to claim what they are owed
Now death reigns triumphant, no god will have mercy on our souls

Profanum Vulgus

Obelisks of avarice, building towers of vanity
Shielded from consequence in opulent majesty
I shall avert my gaze from the profanum vulgaris
Shunning the needy and the lame those fit only to serve us

Corpulent gluttons prepare for the feast
Ravenous hunger, the dine on the weak
Egotist your avarice knows no bounds
Still you sit indignant on your throne of greed
Covetous hoarder of wealth, your lust for gold so obscene
Yet emptiness still fills you inside, the blight of the soulless king

Vultures circling above the carrion
Corpses picked clean in a lightless dawn
Predators of rapacity insatiable voracity
Manipulators expand the divide
Pitiful plebeians, the common herd I decry

Entombed By Wealth

Building up your empire, by any means necessary,
Your only goal was to aspire to a selfish life devoid of charity.
Never caring for those in need accumulation of assets driven by greed.
Your health has failed you in your later years a corpse to be stricken with fear.
Your palace is now your tomb but no one will mourn at your grave.
Entombed by wealth, by greed consumed death is the debt you must pay.

The shrivelled shells of kings rotting in their crypts.
All your wealth you leave behind your legacy doesn't mean shit.
Clutching your scepter, adorned with jewels here lies the end of a pitiful rule.
A decaying corpse cloaked in excess from avaricious affluence to nothingness.
Your palace is now your tomb but no one will mourn at your grave.
Entombed by wealth, by greed consumed death is the debt you must pay.
