Lyrics


1. FREE AND EASY

I'm on the road - no place, no where
I pocket my hands cause I don't care
The love she left me - I can't see now
Feeling lonely - feeling down

Well - it's the feeling you're supposed to feel now
When there's no money for a meal
The craving you get when there's no one
When you are alone and they're all gone

I'm lost - why don' you - help me
I'm gone - why don't you - see me
I'm gone - why don't you - show me
You've won - feeling free 'n easy

Turning from the hungry faces
Demanding answers and getting lies
Trying to stand, where they can't see you
Watch what they say - just to make me sigh

I'm lost - why don' you - help me
I'm gone - why don't you - see me
I'm gone - why don't you - show me
You've won - feeling free 'n easy

Yeah!!
Walking on forever - where I really go
Do you see the end - how will I get there
In my pockets are fingers of bone

I'm lost - why don' you - help me
I'm gone - why don't you - see me
I'm gone - why don't you - show me
You've won - feeling free 'n easy


2. HERE IT COMES

Well it's that time of the year - when nothing is clear
(Do you still want me?)
When I want to take you out - do I have to scream and shout
(Do you still need me?)

It's a feeling I love - a feeling I hate
A feeling I can't understand
When I want to be with you - want to be near
Baby I'm in demand

When I want to take you out - do you have to scream and shout
(Do you still love me?)
When I call you on the phone and you're never at home
(Do you still like me?)

It's a feeling I love - a feeling I hate
A feeling I can't understand
When I want to be with you - want to be near
Baby I'm in demand

Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here it comes again
When I take you on a date - you say its to late
(Do you still trust me?)
If you want me to be true and you do what you do
(Do you still shunt me?)

It's a feeling I love - a feeling I hate
A feeling I can't understand
When I want to be with you - want to be near
Baby I'm in demand

Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here it comes again
When I take you on a date - you say its to late
(Do you still trust me?)
If you want me to be true and you do what you do
(Do you still shunt me?)

Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here it comes again
When I take you on a date - you say its to late
(Do you still trust me?)
If you want me to be true and you do what you do
(Do you still shunt me?)

Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here it comes again
When I take you on a date - you say its to late
(Do you still trust me?)
If you want me to be true and you do what you do
(Do you still shunt me?)


3. BLACK OUT

Raiders of the last night - screaming from their souls
Bullets rip the hot night - as they're heading for their goals
Red flames light the dark sky - blood and flesh flies high
Sitting in the trenches as they're waiting for the black out

Don't go - to the ground; don't go away
Don't go - fool around, cause you'll be
Back some day
Back some day

Watch the cold fear pouring down the centre of your back
Their shadows are deceiving as they follow in your track
Don't wait till you see it - the pain in their eyes
The enemy lies waiting with the promises of a black out

Don't go - to the ground; don't go away
Don't go - fool around, cause you'll be
Back some day
Back some day

Listen to the warning - cause its raining in your brain
The time is almost over as the siren screams again
Hiding from the tracer - seeking in the dark
Searching through the blackness/the promises of the black out

Don't go - to the ground; don't go away
Don't go - fool around, cause you'll be
Back some day
Back some day


4. LIVE BY IT

You've made up your mind - you do what you like
Time for the choice - so you leave with a fight
As you went to by - you knew you had done
That which was right- and then you were gone

They don't understand - you went walkin' on
They hoped you would fall, to say you were wrong

They try to ignore you - they know you are there
You don't give a damn - you don't give a care
Stiff upper lip - daring to show all
So stick to your guns - and you won't ever fall

Live by it; won't buy it; just try it - live by it

They stand all around - yes they hope you will stall
They're ready to chat - yes you know they are cruel
They won't take the chance - but one day you'll rule
So stay as you are - now who's the fool?

They don't understand - you went walkin' on
They hoped you would fall, to say you were wrong

Live by it; won't buy it; just try it - live by it

Live by it; won't buy it; just try it - live by it


5. RAZOR

You're so misunderstood - you think its goin' good
She stole your heart and you don't even miss it
You're just another test - of cardiac arrest
A clone like all the rest you're fading

Razor - you've got to cut your own way
Razor - slashing to the bone
I hope its hitting home

You sit and watch the clock - you talk 'n talk 'n talk
Stand at attention till the sign says walk
You're so mysterious - you made me furious
You're a cut above the rest but baby

Razor - you've got to cut your own way
Razor - slashing to the bone
I hope its hitting home

You've been walking on the edge too long
And its cut right through your soul
You've been trying to make the pledge for so long
And its cut me to the bone
So let me tell how you love me or leave me alone
So let me tell how you love me or leave me alone

Razor - you've got to cut your own way
Razor - slashing to the bone
I hope its hitting home


6. LEATHER LADY

She's dressed in black leather gear wear
Got a look on your face, sayin' you don't care
You've got your assistance
So your push all around, like you don't care

Drives a flashy new sports car
You burn rubber deep on the freeway tar
Strapped with a 12 - bare, shotgun
Settle those who go to far

Leather lady dressed in black
You've got no mercy when you whip my back
You rule all evil around
Evil woman

Mean looking woman with a heart so cold and solid as stone
There'll be someone to match you
And I'll laugh as the day - they take your throne

Oh yeah

Leather lady dressed in black
You've got no mercy when you whip my back
You rule all evil around
Evil woman


7. SWEET DANGER

Ha ha ha

You think I am a madman - but to your surprise
Everytime I see you - I seem to compromise
When I see you out there - all I hear is lies
Sweet sweet danger let me live or die

Sweet danger - let me live tonight
Sweet danger - does it feel alright

I see the firing canons, as they come down on me
Watch the hollow battle, its power that they seek
Looking watch their faces, their thoughts unclean
Sweet sweet danger you're so mean

Sweet danger - let me live tonight
Sweet danger - does it feel alright

See I'm a total maniac it seems its in my blood
Watch me thrive on danger you know that its a must
Overbearing, underated, adrenaline to the crust
Sweet sweet danger you're my lust


8. BONNIE & CLYDE

She was a good time girl; she had all the right curves
Oh and so much more
He was a no good kid; he spent his time in the skid
Always looking for a scare

You better run; better hide
You'd better lock the kids inside
You'd better get the cops on line, you've got to
Tell them its bonny & clyde

They left a trail of death, from east to west
No-one was safe
They could not track them down;
They ran from town to town
No - no escape

You better run; better hide
You'd better lock the kids inside
You'd better get the cops on line, you've got to
Tell them its bonny & clyde

And then they tracked them down
A one horse country town (eventually)
That's where they shot 'em dead
That's what the people said (and now they're free)

You better run; better hide
You'd better lock the kids inside
You'd better get the cops on line, you've got to
Tell them its bonny & clyde

(She was a good time girl)
(She had all the right curves)
You'd better run
He was a no good kid)
(He spent all his time on the skid)
You'd better hide
Ahhhhhhhh haaaa
You'd better run
