Venom Tribute EP

Leviathan

In distant darkened lands where life & death defy the sands
Of time are running out for you too late the cry was heard
All hallowed be thy shame delivered unto evil
Temptation be thy name behold thy fallen angels

From prophecies of ancient times an unborn wisdom heeds the cries
Of every infants new born eyes shall lead the blind
And shall the serpent crucify the holy man & take his eyes
To bring the darkness to the light and let him die
Forgive us not our sins the power & the glory
All hail the demon king & man shall kneel before him
His name Leviathan kneel Leviathan

Countess Bathory

Welcoming the virgins fair, to live a noble life
In the castle known to all the Count's infernal wife
She invites the peasants with endless lavish foods
But, when evening spreads it wings, she rapes them of their blood
Countess Bathory Countess Bathory

All day long the virgins sit and feast on endless meals
The Countless laughs and sips her wine her skin doth crack and peel
But when nighttime fills the air one must pay the price
The Countess takes her midnight bath with blood that once gave life
Countess Bathory Countess Bathory

Living in her self styled Hell, the Countess dressed in black
Life's so distant death's so near no blood to fury time back
The castle walls are closing in, she's crippled now with age
Welcomes death with open arms - the reaper turns the page
Countess Bathory Countess Bathory

Hours Of Darkness

Lost in the shadows, gaze into the void
Feeding the bastards, rebirth or destroy
Hours of darkness turn on the night
Awaken ebony begin twilight

Late in December coldness deadly chill
The night is calling, it's kill or be killed
Kill kill be killed kill kill be killed kill
Fading to blackness flat out on your back
Reveals the answer, the time to attack
Hours of darkness turn on the night
Awaken ebony begin twilight
Hours of darkness turn into the night
Eclipse is darkening black wings flight

Long Haired Punks

Bat out of hell, engines ablaze, riding the night, flying through days
Hell bent for mayhem, so full of spunk, black metal gods, long haired punks
A deadly quest, disgusting and damned dogs of mayhem don't give a damn 
Screaming aloud, fucked up and drunk y'all watch out, we're the long haired punks

A bad example, up for a fight, breaking the law, demonic delight
A dark destroyer, morals are sunk, we're power metal, long haired punks
A deadly quest, disgusting and damned, dogs of mayhem, don't give a damn
Screaming aloud, fucked up and drunk y'all watch out, we're the long haired punks

Fight for survival, hitting the road, get out my way, time for a show
We blast metal, no hip hop or funk, demons from hell, long haired punks
A deadly quest, disgusting and damned, dogs of mayhem who don't give a damn 
Screaming aloud, fucked up and drunk, y'all watch out we're the long haired punks

 The Death Of Rock'n'roll

A medication for the soul we're fast and furious interstellar glow
Ain't gonna change what we do atomic metal motherfuckers coming through
Light up the marshall stacks we're killing King Creole
With devastating thrash the death of rock n roll

We met the devil at the gates not at the crossroads or by humiliate
The man of blues can sell his soul we'd rather party with the demons down below
Light up the marshall stacks we're killing King Creole
With devastating thrash the death of rock n roll

Lay down your soul to all the gods a king shall have his day but forever not
The Jailhouse Rock has a new note so go and RIP that's all she wrote
Light up the marshall stacks we're killing King Creole
With devastating thrash the death of rock n roll
Light up the marshall stacks we're killing King Creole
With devastating thrash rock n roll is dead

Kill The Music

The sad pretender reneges on every deal
Return to sender transparent lies revealed
The question corpses trapped in a silent scream
Can't last the courses run a mile, kill the dream
The cult of larceny kill the music 
There's no integrity kill the fucking music

You're paranoid at finding out the truth
Your game is over it's time to cut you loose
A final last chance to prove your doubters wring
Now there's no last laugh lost all cred, stole the song
The cult of larceny kill the music
You've no integrity kill the fucking music

She came to see you, offered it on a plate
Then panic struck you, pretending to be straight
Your basic hygiene is zero, not a bit
Your life is unclean, work it out, time to quit
The cult of larceny kill the music 
There's no integrity kill the fucking music
The cult of larceny kill the music kick the habit
You've no integrity kill the fucking music

Angel Witch Tribute EP

 Angel Witch

Nobody else can see you the same way as myself
Fly high and touch the sky, you're the angel I adore
If only you could feel for me that I feel for you
Why do you ignore me, angel, why can't I go with you
You're an angel witch, you're an angel witch
You're an angel witch, you're an angel witch

The more love I feel for you, the more you fade away
Why can't you come and love me, do I have to stay this way
I'm going to go insane if nothing happens soon
I look out at the night to see your shadow by the moon
You're an angel witch, you're angel witch
You're an angel witch, you're angel witch

Walk through the forest I can feel that you're there why do you run away?
I'd never hurt you, I'd never hurt you that's the last thing I'd do
Nobody else can see you the same way as myself
Fly high and touch the sky, you're the angel I adore
If only you could feel for me that I feel for you
Why do you ignore me, angel, why can't I go with you
You're an angel witch, you're an angel witch
You're an angel witch, you're an angel witch

 Loser

Why can't you understand we're not out to get you
You say we're cheating but no one believes you
You fake it to believe yourself
You tell the tale of how I cheat so well
Loser why can't you just accept the facts?
Loser you only make yourself seem bad

I try to calm you down, trying to protect you
But who can help the man who will not see the evil?
You try to blame everyone else
You will not see you brought it all on yourself
Loser why can't you just accept the facts?
Loser you only make yourself seem bad

You try to blame everyone else
You tell the tale of how I cheat so well
Why can't you understand we're not out to get you
You say we're cheating but no one believes you
You fake it to believe yourself
You tell the tale of how I cheat so well
Loser why can't you just accept the facts?
Loser you only make yourself seem bad

Child Of The Night

Within this world of darkness who will hear us scream?
You would think that someone out there is in pain or tears
You go out to help someone distressed or trapped
But the trap for you my friend for you its cast
At first she looks unharmful plaintive offensive
Till she turns around and then you see her face

We will twist your tongues you will curse with hate
Looking through you with whites of eyes and bleeding red
She licks her finger and waves it and to to and ties you close
And in the nick of time she backs away she looks so absurd 
Standing there just shaking and she decides to run away from you
At first she looks unharmful plaintive offensive
Till she turns around and then you see her face

Within the shrouded darkness, you will hear her scream
You will think someone out there is in pain or tears
You go out to help someone distressed or trapped
But the trap for you my friend for you its cast
At first she looks unharmful plaintive offensive
Till she turns around and then you see her face
Child of the night

Evil Games

They laugh and shout for everyone to see when they are together they are happy
Little children with innocent smiles who knows what may hide behind them
The sadness in the eyes of old folk around them the children's spiteful games
They don't know you're hurting stop and look around you
For God's sake, look about you evil games, evil games

They tie you up, they tear your heart in two one day they love, the next they hate you
When you're not looking they'll be out at night to wander streets investigating
The sadness in the eyes of old folk around them the children's spiteful games
They don't know you're hurting stop and look around you
For God's sake, look about you evil games, evil games

They laugh and shout for everyone to see when they are together they are happy
Little children with innocent smiles who knows what may hide behind them
The sadness in the eyes of old folk around them the children's spiteful games
They don't know you're hurting stop and look around you
For God's sake, look about you evil games, evil games

 The Horla

Misfortunate ending here for us turns our happiness into dust
Invisible heir of the unknown some misfortune to unfold
In this state I feel it's getting worse within this agony, within this curse
Dead perhaps The Horla
After man The Horla

Profound this mystery, invisible all my senses cannot perceive
So near, too far to believe a cold shadow passes through me
As I wait for approaching death now there is no saving breath
Dead perhaps The Horla
After man The Horla

Misfortunate ending here for us turns our happiness into dust
Invisible heir of the unknown some misfortune to unfold
In this state I feel it's getting worse within this agony, within this curse
Dead perhaps The Horla
After man The Horla

White Witch

In the middle of last night she went out to get her revenge
On the black witches they tried to kill her
They tried to sacrifice and burn her soul in flames
Some unknown force came and freed her
Burn the white witch burn the white witch

Death bears a sickly smile will the fools ever learn
They still smile when their own death is near
She has got more power than you will ever know
They tried to harm but it's too late
Burn the white witch burn the white witch

Standing by your shadow your eyes are full of tears
You cannot seem to unwind yourself you have killed death and fear
Forever and ever we are free together forever for eternity
She died early this morning from the spells of the dead Death had its own way and won
Now she can rest in peace and sleep inside her grave she cannot be harmed anymore
Burn the white witch burn the white witch

Jimmy Buffett Tribute EP

 Margaritaville

Nibbling on sponge cake watching the sun bake all of those tourists covered with oil
Strumming my six-string on my front-porch swing smell those shrimp they're beginning to boil
Wasting away again in Margaritaville searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame but I know it's nobody's fault

Don't know the reason stayed here all season with nothing to show but this brand-new tattoo
But it's a real beauty a Mexican cutie how it got here I haven't a clue
Wasting away again in Margaritaville searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame now I think Hell it could be my fault

I blew out my flip-flop stepped on a pop top cut my heel, had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender and soon it will render that frozen concoction that helps me hang on
Wasting away again in Margaritaville searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame but I know, it's my own damn fault
And some people claim that there's a woman to blame and I know, it's my own damn fault

Cheeseburger In Paradise

Tried to amend my carnivorous habits made it nearly seventy days losing weight without speed
Eating sunflower seeds drinking lots of carrot juice and soaking up rays
But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams some kind of sensuous treat
Not zucchini, fettuccini, or bulgur wheat but a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat
Cheeseburger in paradise heaven on earth with an onion slice
Not too particular, not too precise I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

Heard about the old-time sailor men they eat the same thing again and again
Warm beer and bread they say could raise the dead well it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn
But times have changed for sailors these days when I'm in port I get what I need
Not just Havanas or bananas, or daiquiris but that American creation on which I feed
Cheeseburger in paradise medium rare with Muenster'd be nice
Heaven on Earth with an onion slice I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

I like mine with lettuce and tomato Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer well, good God Almighty, which way do I steer
For my cheeseburger in paradise making the best of every virtue and vice
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice to get a cheeseburger in paradise
To be a cheeseburger in paradise I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise
I like mine with lettuce and tomato Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer well, good God Almighty, which way do I steer?

The Captain And The Kid

I never used to miss the chance to climb up on his knee
Listen to the many tales of life upon the sea
We'd go sailing back on barkentines and talk of things he did
Tomorrow just a day away for the captain and the kid

His world had gone from sailing ships to raking mom's backyard
He never could adjust to land, although he tried so hard
We both were growing older then, wiser with our years
That's when I came to understand the course his heart still steered

He died about a month ago, while winter filled the air
And though I cried, I was so proud to love a man so rare
He's somewhere on the ocean now, a place he ought to be
With one hand on the starboard rail, he's waving back at me

I never used to miss the chance to climb up on his knee
Listen to the many tales of life upon the sea
We'd go sailing back on barkentines and talk of things he did
Tomorrow just a day away for the captain and the kid
For the captain and this kid

Everybody's Got A Cousin In Miami

It was ninety miles to freedom but they took the risk
Though the ocean was all motion and the wind was brisk
The deadly gunboats never saw them in the pale moonlight
They were off to Cayo Hueso by the dawns early light
The gringo in the garden called the customs man
They answered all his questions, were allowed to land
The ladies shared a hairbrush and their husbands had a coke
Then they were taken up to Krome to meet with their kin folk
Everybody's got a cousin in Miami everybody understands the impromptu
Dancing in the heat to the beat that turns your clothing clammy
Everybody needs to have a dream come true

In a third world jungle not so far away
Lives a natural drummer with a dream to play
He's the brother of the lizard and the flying fish
But he's been enchanted by the pictures from the satellite dish
So his mama packs his bags, knots his red neck tie
Sends him north to her relations with a kiss good-bye
He's bewildered by the plane ride and the immigration line
Until he sees his Christian name upon a cardboard sign
Everybody's got a cousin in Miami everybody is an Aborigine
Dancing in the heat to the beat that turns your clothing clammy
Everybody wants to win that lottery

It's hard to believe the city started as a trading post
Home to the Seminole, pirate and pioneer
Between the river of grass and the old mosquito coast
Before the railroad claimed the southernmost frontier
I am umbilically connected to the temperate zone
It brought me life, it brought me love I never have outgrown
It brought me one too many nights along that Biscayne shore
And one too many mornings in the Grove Drug Store
In one way or the other we're all refugees
Living out this easy life below the banyan trees
Smoothing off the rougher edges of the culture clash
We got a style, we got a look we got that old panache
Everybody's got a cousin in Miami everybody understands the impromptu
Dancing in the heat to the beat that turns your clothing clammy
Everybody needs to have a dream come true

Too Drunk To Karaoke

Last night at the bar it was karaoke night everybody down there was feeling all right
They got big margarita pitchers, two-for-one they were feeling footloose and ready for some fun
When I signed up, I was ready to go but they didn't call my name for an hour or so
Damned if they didn't make me wait too long I was in no kind of shape to sing a Jon Bon song.
Too drunk to karaoke too drunk to karaoke if you keep on drinking you're gonna be
Too drunk to karaoke, just like me too drunk to karaoke too drunk to karaoke

Well, the place got rocking temptation was strong
All the pretty girls kept a egging me on
Well, I shoulda kept my flip-flops glued to the chair
But no, I jumped right up and slicked back my hair
Well you can sing and shout ‘til you sound real good
You can terrorize the whole damn neighborhood
But when you hit that stage with that mic in your hand
You better pace yourself, son, if you wanna have fans
Too drunk to karaoke too drunk to karaoke if you keep on drinking you're gonna be
Too drunk to karaoke, just like me too drunk to karaoke too drunk to karaoke

If you ask me, hell, I killed that song
When I looked around, everybody was gone
Except a couple of bouncers 'bout half my age
They grabbed the microphone and threw me off the stage
You're too drunk to karaoke, that's what they told me
You're too drunk to karaoke, how can that be?
You don't have to be good, don't have to be refined
You just have to be a legend in your own mind
Don't have to rehearse, or even sing on key
Just prove that theory of drunkativity
Too drunk to karaoke too drunk to karaoke if you keep on drinking you're gonna be
Too drunk to karaoke, just like me too drunk to karaoke too drunk to karaoke

Why Don't We Get Drunk

I really do appreciate the fact you're sitting here
Your voice sounds so wonderful but your face don't look too clear
So, Barmaid, bring a pitcher, another round of brew
Why don't we get drunk and screw

Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a waterbed filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw

Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a waterbed filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw

Smash Mouth Tribute EP

 Walking On The Sun

It ain't no joke, I'd like to buy the world a toke
And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
And teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars
I know it's just a song but it's spice for the recipe
This is a love attack, I know it went out but it's back
It's just like any fad, it retracts before impact
And just like fashion it's a passion for the with-it and hip
If you got the goods they'll come and buy it just to stay in the clique

So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out
Allow, if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer's shunned you might as well be walking on the sun

Twenty-five years ago they spoke out and they broke out
Of recession and oppression and together they toked
And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire
Just singing and clapping, man, what the hell happened?
Then some were spellbound some were hell-bound, some they fell down
And some got back up and fought back against the meltdown
And their kids were hippie chicks, all hypocrites
Because fashion is smashing the true meaning of it

It ain't no joke when a mama's handkerchief is soaked
With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked
The bond is broke up, so choke up and focus on the close up
Mr. Wizard can't perform no godlike hocus-pocus
So don't sit back, kick back and watch the world get bushwhacked
News at ten, your neighborhood is under attack
Put away the crack before the crack puts you away
You need to be there when your baby's old enough to relate

All Star

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see so what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go you'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey, now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold only shooting stars break the mold

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder you're bundled up now wait 'til you get older
But the meteor man beg to differ judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin the water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours that's the way I like it and I'll never get bored

Go for the moom go for the moon
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep, what a concept I could use a little fuel myself and we could all use a little change
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see so what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go you'll never shine if you don't glow

Justin Bieber

Whatever happened to Justin Bieber?
Was he all that or was he left behind?
Did Keith stay with Nikki, or did he leave her?
Just a little something that's been on my mind

Whatever happened to high-top sneakers?
Do you have yours just like I still have mine?
Or did they go out of style just like streakers?
Was it all for real or were we caught in time?

Where did everybody go?
In another ten years or so, when it's after the show
Would you buy another ticket, or just let me go?

Did we have enough of all the Facebook Tweeters?
Did we really have to hear about it all the time?
Whatever happened to the die hard Gleekers?
They covered everything except a song of mine

And the years just keep on flying and I think we've lost control
Is anybody out there does anybody know

Sorry About Your Penis

I caught you looking at yourself don't worry, buddy, you look fine
How'd you get your hair so tight you can't get laid, you might as well fight
It's February and you got a tan I gotta hand it to you, man
You're the bully of the bar tryin' to stand tall thinking you can take 'em all
Sorry about your penis sorry about your penis sorry about your penis

I caught you looking at yourself I bet you've got overhead cams
Personalized plates and all your truck's probably ten-feet tall
I bet you say "dude" a lot I bet you don't do it at all
All the anger's building up you might as well fuck a dude up
Sorry about your penis sorry about your penis sorry about your penis

You don't get it, you never will flaunt with that macho-man overkill
Seeing everything like it was a sport the only thing you'll win is a case of warts
Cookie-cutter men, you all look alike drink 'em up, drink 'em up, fight, fight, fight
Mullet-having ass-grabbing tan manches don't procreate, please
Sorry about your penis sorry about your penis sorry about your penis

She Turns Me On

We're on the move the ride was rough but she was smooth
Waiting in the wings just doing her thing locomoting to the groove
Number one, have some fun, that's the rule of the road
Lois Lane, Mary Jane, we may never get home
Arlene, Annette, Angelina making the scene in a green Karmann Ghia

Just kiss it goodbye on the fly alibi leave her wondering why
I threw her away and I crave yesterday now that she's gone
Now that she's gone, she turns me on she turns me on
Now that she's gone, she really turns me on

The style was wild like millionaires my savoir-faire got everywhere
It was nothing but a thing if you're wondering but now she isn't there
Suzie Q, Peggy Sue, won't you tell me your name
Betty Lou, make it two, if you really got game
April and June got the word now May got play in a lei at the luau

Marlena, Tina, and Belinda
Goodnight Irene, Jean and Lucinda
Jackie O, did she know, did she know
We're on the move the ride was rough but she was smooth
Waiting in the wings just doing her thing locomoting to the groove
Number one, have some fun, that's the rule of the road
Lois Lane, Mary Jane, we may never get home
Arlene, Annette, Angelina making the scene in a green Karmann Ghia

Let's Rock

Lately I've been thinking about the past
About the good times and have they all come and gone
And are there more years behind than ahead then I say to myself
Fuck it let's rock let's rock, let's rock

Lately I've been thinking about who's in charge about who they are
And are they looking down and laughing hard
And are they aliens or robots or humanoids or gods I think I'm just paranoid
Fuck it let's rock let's rock, let's rock

What if someone takes my cat and what if she runs away and what if she gets hit
What if someone takes my chick and what if she runs away
I won't be blue because I know what to do
Lately I've been thinking about my vices
And about the prices that I'll later have to pay
I've been thinking about myself
And about my health then I say what the hell
Fuck it let's rock let's rock, let's rock

The Members Tribute EP

 The Sound of the Suburbs

Same old boring Sunday morning Old man's out washing the car
Mum's in the kitchen, cooking Sunday dinner her best meal moaning while it lasts
Johnny's upstairs in his bedroom sitting in the dark
Annoying the neighbors with his punk rock electric guitar
This is the sound this is the sound of the suburbs
This is the sound this is the sound of the suburbs

Every lousy Monday morning Heathrow jets goes crashing over my home
Ten o'clock Broadmoor siren driving me mad, won't leave me alone
The woman next store just sits and stares outside
She hasn't come out once ever since her husband died
This is the sound this is the sound of the suburbs
This is the sound this is the sound of the suburbs

Youth club group used to want to be free now they want anarchy
They play too fast, they play out of tune they practice in the singers bedroom
The drums quite good, the bass is too loud and I can't hear the words
This is the sound this is the sound of the suburbs
This is the sound this is the sound of the suburbs

Saturday morning family shoppers crowding out the center of town
Young blokes sitting on the benches shouting at the young girls walking around
Johnny stands there at his window looking at the night
I said what you listening to there's nothing there that is right
This is the sound this is the sound of the suburbs
This is the sound this is the sound of the suburbs

Offshore Banking Business

Bermuda in the Bahamas front street Hamilton
They doing more than growing bananas they got a tax dodge going on
Offshore banking business international crime
Offshore banking business happening all the time

Banks and corporations are registered and operating there they don't employ any local staff 
And I don't know if you are aware one American sitting at a desk with a plaque outside on the wall
You know that's what they call offshore banking business some kind of financial thing
Offshore banking business the man with the money he's gonna swing up there from the tree

You got some pennies and the pounds your head's going round 
With a bunch of figures that your mind cannot compound
I say as I would say who wants to know I would say I wanna know 
Who's got my money who's got my sense why is everybody trying to steal my pence?
Guy in the city guy in the news everybody giving me the financial blues
Who's behind this operation I'll tell you you what I know and I know more than the rest
Newspaper barons and oil tycoons watching their money grow
It's not an idle rumour nor no scandal talk
All of the profits are washed through Curacao, Panama, New York
Offshore banking business you better watch your chin, Jim
Offshore banking business IMF never gonna let you in with this
Offshore banking business you think it's just money that counts
Offshore banking business well sure gonna come mash up your bank account

Solitary Confinement 

You are living in the suburbs and you have problems with your parents
So you move on up to London town where you think everything's happening, going down
Living in a bedsit travelling on a tube train
Working all day long and you know no-one, so you don't go out
And you eat out of tins and you watch television
Solitary Confinement

I have got a good job and I am working in the city
Get the tube train at eight o'clock and five
And I really don't know if I'm feeling dead or alive
Living in a bedsit travelling on a tube train
Working all day long and you know no-one, so you don't go out
And you eat out of tins and you watch television
Solitary Confinement

Well I used to live in Camberley and, I thought, if I moved up to London life would be very exciting for me, you know, because I'd go out at night and meet girls and things, but nothing ever really happens round my neck of the woods except this rather nice girl who lives across the way from me
I tell you, I got it sussed she's got a 40 inch bust and she's just 
Living in a bedsit travelling on a tube train
Working all day long and you know no-one, so you don't go out
And you eat out of tins and you watch television
Solitary Confinement

On your own, by yourself on your own, by yourself
On your own, by yourself on your own, by yourself
By yourself, by yourself by yourself, by yourself
By yourself, by yourself by yourself, by yourself
Buy yourself this record
And it's lonely for you and it's lonely for me
And it's lonely for all of us can't you see?
Living in a bedsit travelling on a tube train
Working all day long and you know no-one, so you don't go out
And you eat out of tins and you watch television
Solitary Confinement

Working Girl

See her laughing, talking as she's walking to the factory
She don't look that much but I tell you, she's a ticket to the easy life for me
If she works nine to five sure to keep my love alive
If she works nine to five that's okay with me
I'm in love with the working girl
I'm in love with the working girl

I walk up to her tell her how we must have been made for each other
And I'd take her home why, I'd even take her around for tea with my mother
Then she can go out to work and I'd lie around the house in the dirt 
And she could go out to work bring her money home for me
I'm in love with the working girl
I'm in love with the working girl

We got a love so pure she pays the rent
Once in a lifetime chance in her must be heaven-sent
We go out at night she can buy all the drinks with the money she's earned
I dazzle her with science and grace her with all this truth and knowledge I've learned
Then we can come back to her place I'd put on my hate to borrow money face
We get a cab to her place she'd do alright by me
I'm in love with the working girl
I'm in love with the working girl

Chelsea Aggro

I see you walking down the street kicking a Coke can
You've got that swagger in your stroll you walk like a bad man
From the tales of world's end gang bangers are your friends
What you see is what you get and what you get is respect
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro

I remember standing in the shed corrugated iron roof over my head
Shivering on the concrete step in the rain, the place has changed but the songs are the same
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro

And the old bill spend man hours tracking you down
Even though they don't like your part of town
You're making money for the legal professions 
Barristers billing lawyers statements and confessions
People give you shite when they see you walking
People give you respect when you hear them talking
And you look after your family well
If anybody crosses them you will give the hell
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro

Free At Last

I'm no superman I can't take your hand
And fly you anywhere you want to go
I can't read your mind like a billboard sign
And tell you everything you want to hear but I'll be your hero
I can be everything you need if you're the one for me like gravity 
I'll be unstoppable I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy with heart, and soul
But if you're the one for me I'll be your hero

Searching high and low trying every road
If I see your face I rarely know
I put my trust in fate that you would come my way
And if it's right it's undeniable I'll be your hero
I can be everything you need if you're the one for me like gravity 
I'll be unstoppable I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy with heart, and soul
But if you're the one for me I'll be your hero

So incredible some kind of miracle
When it's meant to be I'll become a hero
So I'll wait for you I'll be your hero
I can be everything you need if you're the one for me like gravity 
I'll be unstoppable I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy with heart, and soul
But if you're the one for me I'll be your hero

 Top Of The Pops

Hold tight now we're on our own cue light now it's ready to roll
Tonight how I've waited for aggravated for years
It's fun I just can't wait hold on do I look up to date
You are on I'll do anything if that's the right thing to see
Does it matter what is shown just as long as everyone knows
What is selling what to buy the stock market for your HIFI
Take the money leave the box
Everybody's on Top Of The Pops

There's one born every day sing song then fade away
Ding dong what's the future in the pop music industry
Alright so you make the grade hold tight to the buck you made
Just wait you been rated for constipated peak viewing time
Does it matter what is shown just as long as everyone knows
What's in fashion what is seen on the front of a television screen
Take the money leave the box
Everybody's on Top Of The Pops

Hold tight now we're on our own cue light now it's ready to roll
Tonight how I've waited for aggravated for years
It's fun I just can't wait hold on do I look up to date
You are on I'll do anything if that's the right thing to see
Does it matter what is shown just as long as everyone knows
What is selling what to buy the stock market for your HIFI
Take the money leave the box
Everybody's on Top Of The Pops

Getting Me Down

Walking through the park I'm like a child at play
Thinking about the things I said I'd do today
The state of things is getting bad it's getting me down
I think I'll pack up all my bags and leave this town
It's getting me down

Money is the only thing that turns me on
But someone else has got it and a I got none
Give it to me that's a what I need
Living not existing that's the thing for me
It's getting me down

Walking through the park I'm like a child at play
Thinking about the things I said I'd do today
The state of things is getting bad it's getting me down
I think I'll pack up all my bags and leave this town
It's getting me down

My Baby Does Good Sculptures

She don't care for one night stands
And naughty boys with sweaty hands
She got a thing about carving wood
Or shaping a figure from a lump of mud
Don't love my baby for her pouting lips
Don't love my baby for her curvy hips
I love my baby because she does good sculptures

Her fingernails rouge talons fonce
They cut my skin more than once
She is a thing made of solid love
She shape my body like a lump of mud
Don't love my baby for her pouting lips
Don't love my baby for her curvy hips
I love my baby because she does good sculptures

She is cool in her studio
E-I-Addi Add-EE-O
She Killa Dilla she cut it smooth
Always looking like she never loose
Don't love my baby for her pouting lips
Don't love my baby for her curvy hips
I love my baby because she does good sculptures

Bad Guy Reaction

Out in the streets in every town
Everybody keeps moving me down and down
From early morning until late at night
Nobody gonna give me no healthy jive
I'm getting that Bad Guy Reaction status contraction all the time
Won't listen to me you only try to put me down

Don't write my name on every wall
Go breaking window's or telephones
What sounds I rate what movie show
Don't classify me with no-one else
I'm getting that Bad Guy Reaction status contraction all the time
Won't listen to me you only try to put me down

Out in the streets in every town
Everybody keeps moving me down and down
From early morning until late at night
Nobody gonna give me no healthy jive
Bad Guy Reaction status contraction all the time
Won't listen to me you only try to put me down
Don't think I'm stupid don't ever try to put me down

Thunderbirds Are Go

There's a call coming from the sky all the way from Thunderbird Five
Scott and Virgil in their uniforms are patiently waiting by the videophone
I'm glued each week to my TV screen
My favourite show the best that I've seen
Thunderbirds Thunderbirds Thunderbirds are go
Thunderbirds Thunderbirds Thunderbirds are go

Brains is making up a genius scheme Tin Tin's thinking of the boy of her dreams
Up in the stars John is looking on down he wonders what's happening on the ground
A sinking ship or a stricken plane a stranded man or a building in flames
Calling International Rescue no-one else can save us like you do
Thunderbirds Thunderbirds Thunderbirds are go
Thunderbirds Thunderbirds Thunderbirds are go

Lady Penelope receives a call in the stately home of the Creighton-Wards
A special lady for a special team that's ready for anything FAB!
Sat right down on the edge of my seat
For the TV show that's never been beat
Thunderbirds Thunderbirds Thunderbirds are go
Thunderbirds Thunderbirds Thunderbirds are go

If there's been a catastrophe from up in the sky to under the sea
Nothing's too big nothing's too small the Thunderbirds boys can handle it all
A sinking ship or a stricken plane a stranded man or a building in flames
Calling International Rescue no-one else can save us like you do
Thunderbirds Thunderbirds Thunderbirds are go
Thunderbirds Thunderbirds Thunderbirds are go

Ihsahn Tribute EP

 Will You Love Me Now?

One great man was silent of his superiority.
He was openly flattered and hated silently.
Another spoke of his will to aspire to create beyond himself
And the self-inflicted impotent man felt spat at by all ambition.
The solitary pierced the skin of denial and the blood would colour the sky.
A futile display to those whose heads are always turned towards the ground.
Staring into the mud into the heart of emptiness
Where they squirm desperately like wing-clipped flies.
And the whining parasite man to whom pity and gloating are the same.
This spineless parody of man will devour even himself in secrecy.

Will you love me now you, whose feeling of dignity is a matter of subtraction?
Will you love me now that I have revealed your unnakedness?
Will you love me now you whose perception of justice equals your will to corrupt?
Will you love me when I cut through all the layers of your vanity?
Will you love me now you, who cling to a heart so fragile
Even your gods must suffer for you could you love truth?
Could you love truth even in secrecy?

And they gathered in their halls of justice halls of mirrors halls of echoes.
And they gathered in their houses of worship within the walls of the unspoken
Shelter from the rain

Misanthrope

Bring me my wine and the head of the world I will drink to her demise
The subtle art of decapitation the perfect irony of such an end
Bring me the flesh of your sin and repentance display the worlds delights
This last meal my righteous friend I serve Thee cold

Now lift your cup in celebration indulge your lips I do insist drink up drink up
Long ago I grew deaf to the echoes of my footsteps
Long ago I grew blind to the world through your eyes
I overcame the bleak destiny of your lead filled convictions
I prevailed and now I soar relentlessly beyond the north
In my ascension I scorn the eye of envy and he who flies is hated most of all
I celebrate the distance over which you spill your grief
By your belief you waste your tears on a liar and a thief

How could you ever be just towards me I choose your injustice as my portion
Now for the grand finale you will be protagonist
This tragedy you did inspire crucifixion with a twist
Bring me my wine and the head of the world I will drink to her demise
For this last meal my righteous friend I serve Thee cold

 My Heart Is Of The North

I have felt the hunger the restless howling call,
To lift my gaze across the seas and seek out foreign shores
Yet, for all riches they may bring forth,
The undeniable remains; My heart is of the North

Beyond horizons there is kinship to be found
The challenger of summits is by no direction bound
Still, untouchable are those who hold my soul
For them the fire burns and our enemy shall truly know the cold

And should my spirit soften like snow in early spring
Or waver in the sultry haze that soothing summers bring
Engage the compass of my heart all arrows drawn to N
When night falls on my journey and my path comes to an end take me north again

Crooked Red Line

Stranded at the borders of perception
Onto a blackened heaven, washed ashore
In voluntary exile from deception
A peaceful mind, alas, a heart at war

A solitary voyager upon uncharted land
Left beaten on the rock, nowhere to go
But to face an arctic map and with a cold and bloody hand
Draw a crooked line through ice and snow

Across the callous fields and valleys deep
Through winter storms towards the mountains high
He carved a path and from the summit laughed
Into the unforgiving northern sky

He came here clinging to a wreckage
Only guided by the violence of the sea
But not content to merely stay afloat
He built a ship from memories and debris

Where You Are Lost And I Belong

A tranquil silence echoes through the blackness stumbling away each step a fall
Into another void the ever endless fluctuating centre of it all
I've seen you here before I couldn't reach you
We spoke the truth with bleeding, cut out tongues
And turned our backs to all the roads we ever knew
In this maze where you are lost and I belong

A gallery of aeons lie in pieces spread like ashes over Babylon
Where the quest of orphan martyrs ceases when they find the gods they loved are gone
I've seen you here before I couldn't reach you
We spoke the truth with bleeding, cut out tongues
And turned our backs to all we ever knew
In this maze where you are lost and I belong

In Rites Of Passage

The room fell still, submerged by time the chatter drowned in liquid hours
If ever words were obsolete the vibrant air would speak
There is conduct like honour among thieves
There is grace within the fearful eyes of those who seek
And we know we know so well the endgame of our presence
Instinctively we throw ourselves into these rites of passage

The paths to where we might belong are riddles in a long forgotten tongue
And these sentiments we share unspoken violence suspended in the air
This is how our eyes could never meet strangers by a monument of hope
In silent hours, you have known my name but none of us could ever be the same
I could cut you open with a word let your blood run down into the soil
If only for a moment to be free complete with me in rites of passage

Cocteau Twins Tribute EP

 Pearly Dewdrops' Drops

Ruby suns and ruddy cups of pearly dewdrop's drops
Wakes in our company buys the pearly dewdrop's drops
Ruby suns and ruddy cups of pearly dewdrop's drops
Wakes in our company buys the pearly dewdrop's drops
Ruby suns and ruddy cups rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky penny buys the pearly dew drips soaks
Ruby suns and ruddy cups rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky penny buys the pearly dew drips soaks

Taciturn to pillow to try to turn to...
First, though, I must die to rip asunder what he saw
Taciturn to pillow to try to turn to...
First, though, I must die to rip asunder what he saw
Ruby suns and ruddy cups rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky penny buys the pearly dew drips soaks
Ruby suns and ruddy cups rows of pearly dewdrop's drops
Tis the lucky penny buys the pearly dew drips soaks
Will be sun to ruddy, sun to ruddy

Wax And Wane

Carrying prose broke my real friend
The devil bites dirty we wax and we wane
The devil bites dirty we wax and wane

Licking our wounds the devil bites dirty
Rattling we'll taste we wax and we wane
The devil bites dirty we wax and wane

Caring is a bury gin shot the devil bites dirty
Up 'till the wee wanes we laugh in their faces
The devil bites dirty we wax and wane

Blind Dumb Deaf

Blind dumb deafen offends I was never a part of it
Blind dumb deafen offends I was never a part of it
At the bosom or the breast or the forehead or the fist

Blind dumb deafen offends I was never a part of it
Blind dumb deafen offends I was never a part of it
My mouthing at you my tongue the stake
I should welt should I hold you I should gash should I kiss you

Blind dumb deafen offends I was never a part of it
Blind dumb deafen offends I was never a part of it
Blind dumb deafen offends I was never a part of it
Blind dumb deafen offends I was never a part of it

My Love Paramour

Two different fates; my love paramour ooze out and away
Two different fates; my love paramour ooze out and away
Two different fates they fig up my love ooze out and away
Two different fates my love paramour ooze out and away onehow

Love if it's swallowed for pity must ooze out and away onehow
Love if it's swallowed for pity must ooze out and away onehow
Two different fates of my love paramour ooze out and away onehow
Love if it's swallowed for pity must ooze out and away onehow
Two different fates of my love paramour ooze out and away onehow
Two different fates my love paramour ooze out and away onehow

Peppermint Pig

Why you must come in by the overland
It's slightly less snarled, I suppose
Why you must come in by the overland
I'm waiting for the moment, I suppose
You're finding the switch of the peppermint pig stage
Burning the treasure while not eating the money

Why you must come in by the overland
It's slightly less snarled, I suppose
Why you must come in by the overland
I'm waiting for the moment, I suppose
That bunch can be deadly and that bunch can be so experienced

From The Flagstones

At times I've seen you from the oriel
At times I've seen you from the flagstones
At times I've seen you from the balustrade
At times I've seen you from the flagstones
Another flaw, another knothole
You can cajole and can cajole...

At times I've seen you from the oriel
At times I've seen you from the flagstones
Another flaw, another knothole
You may cajole you may cajole...

At times I've seen you from the balustrade
At times I've seen you from the flagstones
At times I've seen you from the balustrade

My Bloody Valentine Tribute EP

Only Shallow

Sleep like a pillow, no one there
Where she won't care anywhere
Soft as a pillow, touch her there
Where she won't dare somewhere

Sweet and mellow softer there
Feel like you grew stronger
Speak your trouble, she's not square
Soft like her silk everywhere

Sleep as a pillow, comfort there
Where she won't dare anywhere
Look in a mirror, she's not there
Where she won't care somewhere

Only Tomorrow

Into the night we all come back to
Into the heart it's getting hard
Only tomorrow the love comes easy
Watching that blue, it's beyond
Watching the mug that I was you too
Holding the crown, it is lonely heart

Into the night we all come back to
Into the heart it's getting hard
Only tomorrow the love comes easy
Watching that blue, it's beyond

Never Say Goodbye

Faces in the sand let me take you by the hand
Where do you come from from a strange and secret land
Dark and scary eyes and you feel you're always this way
Take me by the hand let me show you games we can play

Take me by surprise hide nothing from the shadows
We can kiss the sky never say goodbye
As we chase the clouds away pictures in the air
Would you let me take you there hold me, I will fall
And I'll show you how much I care paint your silver smile
Show you things that won't be sad let me take you there and I'll show you what fun can be

Strawberry Wine

Misty morning in the springtime
Close your eyes, crystal eyes
On the dark side let the light shine
Please, please stay with me tonight
These lips will find strawberry wine

I was looking at your window
Lurking there beneath my feet
Cherry apples, long grass meadows
Searching I, for dreams in sleep
These lips will find strawberry wine

Misty morning in the springtime
Lurking there beneath your feet
On the dark side let the light shine
Think of me, don't let me keep
These lips will find strawberry wine

Cigarette In Your Bed/To Here Knows When

Falling down I like to watch you crawl around
Arms untied scratching your eyes out with a smile

Strangely stare strangled by the blade left in your heart
I glide by slip a cigarette in your bed

Kiss your fear your red button falls from my mouth
Slip your dress over your head, it's been so long

Move on top because that way you touch her too
Turn your head come back again to here knows when

(When You Wake) You're Still In A Dream

Turn around to watch all the same
You know, you're simply a game
I see you've messed up your laughing head
I'll take you again, again

When you wake you're still in a dream
Not real, though I love you unclean
I'm telling you you're a sick mind
You come back so fine, so fine

Know your smile is colder than ice
That will back you up real nice
But killing's hardly a weapon for you
Your wasted space is mine too

Turn around to watch all the same
You know, you're simply a game
I see you've messed up your laughing head
I'll take you again, again

The Replacements Tribute EP

 Kick Your Door Down

Your radio is playing rather loud it don't sound like me
Your attitude seems so proud that don't bother me
I'm gonna keep on knocking gonna keep on pounding
I'm gonna knock I'm gonna pound I'm gonna knock I'm gonna pound
I'm gonna kick your door down gonna kick your door down

I wonder what goes on behind closed doors
I'm waiting outside your door don't enter more
I'm gonna keep on knocking gonna keep on pounding
I'm gonna knock I'm gonna pound I'm gonna knock I'm gonna pound
I'm gonna kick your door down gonna kick your door down

Swinging in the hall out of reach
Learning learning who can take talk talk
Fuck school fuck school fuck my school

Lay It Down Clown

Got a big switchblade, drop drop bill a tease
There's a deal going down, it don't go down around me
Rumours keep on spreading all over town
Lay it down clown, lay it down
Lay it down clown, lay it down

Skinny as a rail and you think you got what it takes
The only exercise you ever get is the shakes
Rumours keep on spreading all over town
Lay it down clown, lay it down
Lay it down clown, lay it down

Get back to the hills, get back to back where you belong
Finally found out which way the wind blows
The rumours keep on spreading all over town
Lay it down clown, lay it down
Lay it down clown, lay it down

Beer For Breakfast

All I wanna do is drink beer for breakfast
All I wanna eat is them barbecue chips
All I want is someone to just try and protect us
You can try but never wanna try and defect us
I telling you I am through mama's baby boy is a bum

All I wanna do is stay in this life
All I wanna pick is your nose, honey, hi
Sweet little corny you've gotta be husky
I am dreaming of a white Christmas
Where I'm from mama's baby boy is a bum
Where I'm from I'm a bum baby boy's a bum
All I wanna do is drink beer for breakfast

Don't Get Married

You're like a guitar in the hands of a man that just can't play
You're like an inmate counting off the days
You're like a student on vacation that's waiting for school to resume
Like a flower in the dark never gonna bloom
You're getting married you're getting married you're getting married

Well, you say that you'll both be real happy you forgot to tell your eyes
You're like a bird in a cage watching the flock fly on by
You're like a student who's on vacation just waiting for school to start
I don't know what's in it for you, but it ain't in your heart
You're getting married you're getting married you're getting married

You're like a guitar in the hands of some fool that just can't play
You're like an inmate counting off the days
Well, you say that you'll both be happy you forgot to tell your eyes
You're like a bird in a cage watching the flock fly on by
You're like a student on vacation just waiting for school to resume
You're like a flower in the dark you ain't never gonna bloom
If you get married if you get married don't you get married

The Undertones Tribute EP

 Teenage Kicks

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat
Every time she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over because I'm all alone
I need excitement I need it bad
And it's the best, I've ever had
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat
Every time she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over because I'm all alone
I need excitement I need it bad
And it's the best, I've ever had
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

Here Comes The Summer

What can I do you know you drive me crazy when I'm looking at you
The summer's really here and it's time to come out time to discover what fun is about
Here comes the summer here comes the summer

Keep on looking for the girls with their faces all tanned
They're lying on the beaches all covered in sand
Stretching out their long legs lying in the sun
They know they're beautiful they're having fun
Here comes the summer here comes the summer

Looking for the girls with their faces all tanned
They're lying on the beaches all covered in sand
Stretching out their long legs lying in the sun
They know they're beautiful they're having fun
Here comes the summer here comes the summer

My Perfect Cousin

Now I've got a cousin called Kevin he's sure to go to heaven
Always spotless clean and neat the smoothest you can get them
He's got a fur lined sheepskin jacket my ma said they cost a packet
She won't even let me explain that me and Kevin were just not the same
My perfect cousin what I like to do he doesn't
He's his family's pride and joy his mothers little golden boy

He's gotta degree in economics maths - physics and bionics
He thinks that I'm a cabbage because I hate university challenge
Even at the age of ten smart boy Kevin was a smart boy then
He always beat me at Subbuteo because he flicked the kick and I didn't know
My perfect cousin what I like to do he doesn't
He's his family's pride and joy his mothers little golden boy

His mother bought him a synthesizer got the Human League into advise her
Now he's making lots of noise playing along with the art school boys
Girls try to attract his attention but what a shame it's in vain total rejection
He will never be left on the shelf because Kevin he's in love with himself
My perfect cousin what I like to do he doesn't
He's his family's pride and joy his mothers little golden boy

Thrill Me

Do you remember I used to say all the sweetest things to make you stay
I kept believing that things would change that these delusions were nothing strange
I never thought you loved me I had to leave the world behind
Like the open sky above me you thrill me all the time

Unknown emotions would wear me down if tears were kisses I'm already drowned
But my expression could make you see the hesitation that would come over me
I never thought you loved me I had to leave the world behind
Like the open sky above me you thrill me all the time

I see everything you do and I've done everything you say
I can't get close to you but maybe someday maybe someway
I never thought you loved me I had to leave the world behind
Like the open sky above me you thrill me all the time

See That Girl

I wake up screaming in the middle of something wrong
I'm always waiting for a taxi just to take me back home
It really doesn't make much difference
Everything I say makes no sense
I'm happy just as long as I can see that girl

So boys will be boys when they haven't got nothing to do
You're flawed I'm bored naive we haven't a clue
It really doesn't make much difference
Everything I say makes no sense
I'm happy just as long as I can see that girl

I wake up screaming in the middle of something wrong
I'm always waiting for a taxi just to take me back home
It really doesn't make much difference
Everything I say makes no sense
I'm happy just as long as I can see that girl

The Way Girls Talk/Casbah Rock

I've never kissed a girl before too shy to go outside the door
Who cares what right I want to know what they're doing tonight
Can't listen to the way girls talk can't listen to the way girls talk

Have you seen the way she looks at him I don't believe the state they're in
We don't have time to make fun of what we can fight
Can't listen to the way girls talk can't listen to the way girls talk

The boys said shout the boys said shout
I hear she's going steady is she alright I see she's got some other date tonight
Who cares what wrong we always seem to hurt someone
Can't listen to the way girls talk can't listen to the way girls talk

Well it won't take long now before you know
If you're not thrown out then you'll want to go
Because you'll never get pop at the Casbah Rock
You'll never get pop at the Casbah Rock
You won't get pop at the Casbah Rock

Led Zeppelin Tribute EP

 Your Time Is Gonna Come

Lying, cheating, hurting, that's all you seem to do
Messing around with every guy in town
Putting me down for thinking of someone new
Always the same, playing your game
Drive me insane, trouble is gonna come to you
One of these days and it won't be long
You'll look for me but I'll be gone
This is all I gotta say to you
Your time is gonna come your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come your time is gonna come

Made up my mind to break you this time
Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry
Do what you want, I won't take the brunt
It's fading away, can't feel you anymore
Don't care what you say cause I'm going away to stay
Going to make you pay for that great big hole in my heart
People talking all around watch out no longer is the joke gonna be on my heart
You been bad to me but it's coming back home to you
Your time is gonna come your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come your time is gonna come

Whole Lotta Love

You need cooling I'm not fooling I'm gonna send you back to schooling
Way down inside  you need it I'm gonna give you my love

Keep it cooling keep it cooling

Rock And Roll

It's been a long time since I rock-and-rolled
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll
Let me get it back, let me get it back
Let me get it back where I come from
It's been a long time, been a long time been a long lonely lonely time

It's been a long time since The Book of Love
I can't count the tears of a life with no love
Carry me back, carry me back
Carry me back, where I come from
It's been a long time, been a long time been a long lonely lonely time

Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just can't work right
Open your arms, opens your arms
Open your arms let my love come running in!
It's been a long time, been a long time been a long lonely lonely time

Thank You

If the sun refused to shine I would still be loving you
When mountains crumble to the sea there will still be you and me
Kind woman, I give you my all kind woman, nothing more
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain tears of loves lost in the days gone by
My love is strong with you there is no wrong together we shall go until we die
An inspiration is what you are to me inspiration look and see

And so today, my world, it smiles your hand in mine, we walk the miles
And thanks to you it will be done for you to me are the only one
Happiness, no more be sad happiness I'm glad
If the sun refused to shine I would still be loving you
When mountains crumble to the sea there will still be you and me

Kashmir

Let the sun beat down upon my face with stars to fill my dreams
I am a traveller of both time and space to be where I have been
Sit with elders of the gentle race this world has seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait all will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate the story was quite clear
I been flying there ain't no denying I've been flying  ain't no denying
All I see turns to brown as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find where I've been

Pilot of the storm who leaves no trace like thoughts inside a dream
Here is the path that led me to that place yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June when moving through Kashmir
Father of the four winds, fill my sails across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face long the straits of fear
When I'm on, when I'm on my way when I see, when I see the way, you stay
When I'm down but I'm down, so down let me take you there 
Let me take you there let me take you there

Custard Pie

Drop down let your daddy see drop down, my lady, just dream of me
Well, my mama, allow me to fool around all night long
Well, I may look like I'm crazy, I sure know right from wrong
See me coming throw your man outdoor ain't no stranger, done been this way before
See me coming I throw your man outdoor I ain't no stranger, I been this way before

Put on your night shirt and your morning gown
You know by night I'm gonna shake them on down
Put on your night shirt and your morning gown
Well, you know by night I'm sure gonna shake them on down shake it, shake it
Your custard pie sweet and nice when you cut it save me a slice
Your custard pie I declare you're sweet and nice
I like your custard pie when you cut it please save me a slice
I chew on a piece of your custard pie
Drop down, drop down I chew on a piece of your custard pie

Tom Waits Tribute EP

 Rain Dogs

Inside a broken clock splashing the wine with all the rain dogs
Taxi, we'd rather walk huddle a doorway with the Rain Dogs for I am a Rain Dog, too
How we danced and we swallowed the night for it was all ripe for dreaming
How we danced away all of the lights we've always been out of our minds

The rum pours strong and thin beat out the dustman
With the rain dogs aboard a shipwreck train
Give my umbrella to the Rain Dogs for I am a Rain Dog too
How we danced with the Rose of Tralee her long hair black as a raven
How we danced and you whispered to me you'll never be going back home
You'll never be going back home
How we danced and we swallowed the night for it was all ripe for dreaming
How we danced away all of the lights we've always been out of our minds

Earth Died Screaming

Rudy's on the midway and Jacob's in the hole
The monkey's on the ladder the devil shovels coal
With crows as big as air planes the lion has three heads
And someone will eat the skin that he sheds and the earth died screaming
The earth died screaming while I lay dreaming of you

Well hell doesn't want you and heaven is full
Bring me some water put it in this skull
I walk between the raindrops wait in Bug House Square
And the army ants they leave nothing but the bones
And the earth died screaming while I lay dreaming of you

There was thunder there was lightning then the stars went out
And the moon fell from the sky it rained mackerel it rained trout
And the great day of wrath has come and here's mud in your big red eye
The poker's in the fire and the locusts take the sky
And the earth died screaming while I lay dreaming of you

Better Off Without A Wife

All my friends are married every Tom and Dick and Harry
You must be strong if you're to go it alone
Here's to the bachelors and the Bowery bums
Those who feel that they're the ones that are better off without a wife
Because I like to sleep until the crack of noon
Midnight howling at the moon going out when I want to,
And I'm coming home when I please don't have to ask permission
If I wanna go out fishing never have to ask for the keys

I've never been no Valentino but I had a girl who lived in Reno
Left me for a trumpet player well, it didn't get me down
He was wanted for assault and though he said it weren't his fault
You know the coppers rode him right out of town
I'll be sleeping until the crack of noon
Midnight howling at the moon and I'll be going out when I want to
Coming home when I please don't have to ask permission
If I wanna go out fishing never have to ask for the keys

You see I'm kinda selfish about my privacy now as long as I can be with me
We get along so well I can't even believe it I love to chew the fat with folks
I'll be listening to all your dirty jokes I'm so thankful for these friends I do receive
I'll be sleeping until the crack of noon
Midnight howling at the moon and I'll be going out when I want to
Coming home when I please don't have to ask permission
If I wanna go out fishing never have to ask for the keys

I got this girl I know and I just 
She's been married several times and I don't wanna end up like her
I mean, she's been married so many times
She's got rice-marks all over her face you know the kind

Warm Beer And Cold Women

It's warm beer and cold women, no I just don't fit in
Every joint I stumbled into tonight, that's just how its been
All these double-knit strangers with gin and vermouth
And recycled stories, in the Naugahyde booths
And the platinum blondes and tobacco brunettes
I'll just be drinking to forget you, I light another cigarette
And the band's playing something by Tammy Wynette
And the drinks are on me tonight

All my conversations now, I'll just be talking about you
I'm boring some sailor as I try to get through
I just want him to listen now I say that's all you have to do
He said I'm better off without you, until I showed him my tattoo
And now the moon's rising, ain't no time to lose
Time to get down to drinking, tell the band to play the blues
And the drinks are on me I'll buy another round at the last ditch attempt saloon

Warm beer and cold women, no I just don't fit in
Every joint I stumble into tonight, that's just how it's been
All these double-knit strangers with gin and vermouth
Receding hairlines, in the Naugahyde booths
And the platinum blondes and tobacco brunettes
I'll just be drinking to forget you  I light a menthol cigarette
And the band's playing something by Johnnie Barnett
At the last ditch attempt saloon

I'm Your Late Night Evening Prostitute

Well I got here at eight and I'll be here till two
I'll try my best to entertain you and please don't mind me if I get a bit crude
I'm your late night evening prostitute
So drink your martinis and stare at the moon
Don't mind me I'll continue to croon don't mind me if I get a bit loon
I'm your late night evening prostitute

And dance, have a good time I'll continue to shine
Dance, have a good time don't mind me if I slip upon a rhyme
Well I got here at eight and I'll be here till two
I'll try my best to entertain you and please don't mind me if I get a bit crude
I'm your late night evening prostitute I'm your late night evening prostitute

Coney Island Baby

Every night she comes to take me out to dreamland
When I'm with her, I'm the richest man in the town
She's a rose, she's the pearl she's the spin on my world
All the stars make their wishes on her eyes
She's my Coney Island Baby She's my Coney Island Girl

She's a princess, in a red dress
She's the moon in the mist to me
She's my Coney Island Baby
She's my Coney Island Girl

Werewolves Of London

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein
Werewolves of London Werewolves of London
If you hear him howling around your kitchen door better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London Werewolves of London

He's the hairy handed gent who ran amok in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him he'll rip your lungs out, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor and he's looking for James Taylor
Werewolves of London Werewolves of London
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen doing the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen doing the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's his hair was perfect
Werewolves of London Werewolves of London

Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner

Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun
With a Thompson gun for hire, fighting to be done
The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day
So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray
Through sixty-six and seven they fought the Congo war
With their fingers on their triggers, knee-deep in gore
For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees
They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese
Roland the Thompson gunner Norway's bravest son
Time, time, time for another peaceful war
But time stands still for Roland until he evens up the score
They can still see his headless body stalking through the night
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun

His comrades fought beside him - Van Owen and the rest
But of all the Thompson gunners, Roland was the best
So the CIA decided they wanted Roland dead
That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head
Roland the headless Thompson gunner Norway's bravest son
Time, time, time for another peaceful war
But time stands still for Roland until he evens up the score
They can still see his headless body stalking through the night
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun

Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in
He found him in Mombasa in a barroom drinking gin
Roland aimed his Thompson gun - he didn't say a word
But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg
Roland the headless Thompson gunner
The eternal Thompson gunner still wandering through the night
Now it's ten years later but he still keeps up the fight
In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Berkeley
Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun and bought it

Mohammed's Radio

Everybody's restless and they've got no place to go
Someone's always trying to tell them something they already know
So their anger and resentment flow but don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long Mohammed's Radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful on the radio, Mohammed's Radio

You know, the Sheriff's got his problems too he will surely take them out on you
In walked the village idiot and his face was all aglow
He's been up all night listening to Mohammed's Radio
Don't it make you want to rock and roll all night long
Mohammed's Radio I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's Radio

Everybody's desperate trying to make ends meet
Work all day, still can't pay the price of gasoline and meat
Alas, their lives are incomplete
Don't it make you want to rock and roll all night long Mohammed's Radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful on the radio, Mohammed's Radio

You've been up all night listening for his drum
Hoping that the righteous might just might just might just come
I heard the General whisper to his aide-de-camp
Be watchful for Mohammed's lamp
Don't it make you want to rock and roll all night long Mohammed's Radio

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

So much to do, there's plenty on the farm I'll sleep when I'm dead
Saturday night I like to raise a little harm I'll sleep when I'm dead

I'm drinking heartbreak motor oil and Bombay gin I'll sleep when I'm dead
Straight from the bottle, twisted again I'll sleep when I'm dead

Well, I take this medicine as prescribed I'll sleep when I'm dead
It don't matter if I get a little tired I'll sleep when I'm dead

I've got a .38 special up on the shelf I'll sleep when I'm dead
If I start acting stupid I'll shoot myself I'll sleep when I'm dead

So much to do, there's plenty on the farm I'll sleep when I'm dead
Saturday night I like to raise a little harm I'll sleep when I'm dead

Life'll Kill Ya

You've got an invalid haircut it hurts when you smile
You'd better get out of town before your nickname expires
It's the kingdom of the spiders it's the empire of the ants
You need a permit to walk around downtown you need a license to dance
Life'll kill ya that's what I said
Life'll kill ya then you'll be dead
Life'll find ya wherever you go
Requiescat in pace that's all she wrote

From the President of the United States to the lowliest rock and roll star
The doctor is in and he'll see you now he don't care who you are
Some get the awful, awful diseases some get the knife, some get the gun
Some get to die in their sleep at the age of a hundred and one
Life'll kill ya that's what I said
Life'll kill ya then you'll be dead
Life'll find ya wherever you go
Requiescat in pace that's all she wrote

Maybe you'll go to heaven see Uncle Al and Uncle Lou
Maybe you'll be reincarnated maybe that stuff's true
If you were good maybe you'll come back as someone nice
And if you were bad maybe you'll have to pay the price
Life'll kill ya that's what I said
Life'll kill ya then you'll be dead
Life'll find ya wherever you go
Requiescat in pace that's all she wrote

Rub Me Raw

I know these blues are gonna rub me raw
Every single cure seems to be against the law
Went and told my psychic I said "Keep it to yourself.
I don't wanna hear it and don't be telling no one else."
Word's out on the street whispers in the night
They come out of the woodwork, wanna see what it's like
Pickle gonna run that voodoo down
How the crowd gets fickle when your face is to the ground!
These blues are gonna rub me raw
These blues are gonna rub me raw

Now I'm shaking all over I'm a shattering mass
But I'm gonna sit up straight I'm going to take it with class
Old man used to tell me "Son, never look back,
Move on to the next case. fold your clothes and pack."
To the green horned chicken hoppers I say "Get yourself a trade,
Or go hack to the chat room and fade in the shade"
These blues are gonna rub me raw
These blues are gonna rub me raw

I know these blues are gonna rub me raw
Every single cure seems to be against the law
I was walking pretty well then I fell into a hole
I should climb out quick, but I hate doing what I'm told
Got a wang-dang-doodle wrapped in bog snake hide
This goat head gumbo is keeping me alive
I don't want your pity or your fifty-dollar words
I don't share your need to discuss the absurd
These blues are gonna rub me raw
These blues are gonna rub me raw
