DISC 1 – LIVE FROM BRIXTON

1. WELCOME

We're back again
Let's make a toast
Come raise your glasses high
To every one of you who doubted us

We're back again
Let's make a toast
Come raise your glasses high
To every one of us since "Karma's a bitch right"


2. CLOSURE

One last time!

We're back again, you know we're not fucking around
Got a bottle of jack in our hands
You tryna' keep up kid?
Let's see who hits the ground
We've drank the drinks
We've done the drugs
Clearly we don't remember
We've come so far
We've shown them all
Without us you'd fall and fade away

They say it all breaks down to keeping your feet on the ground
My sole intention is keeping my head in the clouds
They say that I can't last a day in the real world
I say you wouldn't survive one night in mine

Notorious and shit I wouldn't trade it for the world
I'm infamous but damn you can't help but love this shit
Notorious and shit I wouldn't trade it for the world
I'm infamous but damn you can't help but love this shit
You can't help but love this shit

I'm everything we need to make this scene what it should have been
Remember platinum albums, sold out stadiums, leave it to me
Let's tell the truth, not to be rude but we're all irrelevant
This music's dead with a bullet in it's head
Let's wake it up

Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh

It's so insane, I'm so insane
Going insane, I'm so insane

Leave it to me from here
Leave it to me from here


3. A LESSON NEVER LEARNED

Please, you have to help me
This is not my true face
If you could see my soul
As I have seen my soul
I could show it to you
It's rotten
It's poison
Help me please

Please give me a fucking excuse
I beg for just one reason to give you regret

Are you with me or are you on your own?
It's time to choose your side, so choose your side
Are you with me or are you on your own?
It's time to choose your side, so choose your fucking side

Could be the end of the world
I'd still be laid here on my own wasting my life away
Could be the end of the world
I'd still be laid here on my own wasting my life away

Hear me now
Get off your knees
Nothing changes when you pray
I'm the closest thing to a God you'll ever know
Get off your knees

Open your eyes
I'll regret never again
And I stand above you

Open your eyes
I'll regret never again
And I stand above you

And I can't feel this pain anymore
And I can't carry on this way
I'm hiding behind false eyes

Could be the end of the world
I'd still be laid here on my own wasting my life away
Could be the end of the world
I'd still be laid here on my own wasting my life away

Over and over
Over and over

Fucking hell

Fuck!


4. BREATHLESS

Get the fuck away from me

I know that I have done wrong and continue to do so but without remorse
I know that I am on a fast track to the grave and I'm headed there alone
I struggle to find myself this time
Save yourself for a man with a conscience
I fight to find myself this time
Save yourself for a man that isn't me

I spend my days looking through pages
Trying to find a way to get away from me
With love to give that leaves you breathless
Now all I need to find a way back inside my mind

I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you realize
I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you realize
I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you save yourself

Yeah!

I spend my days looking through pages
Trying to find a way to get away from me
With love to give that leaves you breathless
Now all I need to find... a way back inside my mind

I need to find
A way back inside my mind (x2)

This is not the end
This is the end of (x3)
This is not the end

Oh!

Every mistake I've made leaves a scar that burns every day
Yet still I carry on
Without regret
Without remorse
I'm gone
You're better off to walk away
I am corruption, I am sin

Forget my name
Forget my face
Forget my name
Forget my face


5. NOT THE AMERICAN AVERAGE

1, 2, 3, 4!
(All the things that she said, was it all in my head?)

Come on, baby,
Keep it down.
Honey, hush your lips.
Clothes trailing
From the backdoor
To the bedroom
And I don't even know your name.
Give me all you've got.
Make this night worth my time,
Make this worth my time (oh!)

What I would give to live this night again!
I knew when I first saw you,
You would fuck like a whore!
You'd fuck like a whore!
I can hear you scream for more! (yeah!)

Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze.
My lips, your poison,
They bring you to your knees.
(x2)

Ah, come on!

Girl, get down,
It's almost over!
Take it all the way!
Oh!

You stupid fucking whore!

And after all of all my dreaming being only you,
You're standing there, baby, oh,
The things that I could do!
Back to the wall with a drink in my hand!
Back it up, baby, ride, ride, ride!

One step too late
And I never told you (never told you)
That I can't take
Another disappointment.
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending.
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending.

Ten inch!

With your back against the wall!
With your face buried in the pillow!
I see you cold!
I feel you heartless!
Bitch!
You stupid fucking bitch!
You stupid fucking bitch!

Fucking bitch.


6. A PROPHECY

How stubborn are the scars when they won't fade away?
Or just a gentle reminder that now are better days?

We'll be home soon, so dry your eyes
You'll be okay (you'll be okay!)

Oh my God
The water is rising
It's rising
You just have to believe in me
Failing that I'll ride this storm alone

We can still make it out
'Fuck'

I can help you through this
But you have to take my hand
I can take you home
Take my hand
Take my hand

I should've known the tides were getting higher
We can still survive
They think we're drowning but our heads are still above the waves
Above the waves

(I should've known the tides were getting higher)
(We can still survive)
(Above the waves)
(I should've known the tides were getting higher)
(I should've known the tides were getting higher)

We can still survive

You never said goodbye, goodbye
[x4]

And now you're on your own

You never said goodbye
You never said goodbye, goodbye


7. IF YOU CAN'T RIDE TWO HORSES AT ONCE...YOU SHOULD GET OUT OF THE CIRCUS

I can't see through the tears in my eyes!
I can't see through the tears in my eyes!
I can't breathe!

I feel I failed!
I was meant to make you smile!
I was meant to make you shine,
To make you shine!

They said
This could never happen!
They said
We could never be!
Are you telling me you listened?

I was meant to make you smile!
I was meant to make you shine!
(x3)

So there's no you and me?
And we can't live this way forever (forever)?
(You said you'd run away)
You said you'd run away,
You said you'd run away with me (with me),
You'd run away.

That we'd escape from the ordinary!
That we'd escape from the world that tied us down!
That we'd escape from the ordinary!
That we'd escape from the world that kept us apart!

(Whoa!) So now this is over and the world falls upon me.
(Whoa!) I never expected to be here alone.
(Whoa!) The shadows are forming as we burst into flames.
(Whoa!) Why does this end this way?

Whoa!
Whoa! (Why does this end this way?)
Whoa!
Whoa!


8. DEDICATION

You'll never really find those perfect words
Something more than just, goodbye

It's hard to remember the good times when there was just so much heartache
But they deserve more than that
They deserve more than just one single moment of sadness

So just remember
That when there's enough love in our hearts to burst like a fuckin' supernova
Then there's sure as hell's enough love in my heart, to spark that famous smile

We all lose someone at some point in our lives
But don't ever let go of that smile

Hold on forever
Because that's our final dedication


9. SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE

(Even though I'm on my own)
(I know I'm not alone)
(Cause I know there's someone, somewhere)
(Praying that I make it home)
(So here's one from the heart)
(My life right from the start)
(I need a Home sweet home)
(To call my own)

It was you
That told me I could do this
You put the music in my heart
And how you sang with the band in Memphis
It's hard just to be strong
Not knowing if I've done you proud
I like to imagine
You smile when you hear my songs

Even though I'm on my own
I know I'm not alone
Cause I know there's someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart
My life right from the start
I need a Home sweet home
To call my own

A letter home
And I know we don't speak much
And we both know I'm not keen to
But I think there's things I've left unsaid
I'm okay, don't worry
I wish I'd been a better kid
I'm trying to slow down
I'm sorry for letting you down

Even though I'm on my own,
I know I'm not alone
Cause I know there's someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart,
My life right from the start
I need a Home sweet home
To call my own
Yeah!

You know it's just rock and roll
I know you're by my side through it all
My terror twin and I
Let's take over the world

Even though I'm on my own
I know I'm not alone
Cause I know there's someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart,
My life right from the start
I need a Home sweet home
To call my own

Even though I'm on my own
I know I'm not alone
Cause I know there's someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart
My life right from the start
I need a Home sweet home
To call my own


10. ANOTHER BOTTLE DOWN

I'm so done with it, I won't go back again and
I'm okay with this, that I'll be on my own
Until the day I die, which shouldn't be that long
So I'll just do what I do and make the most of it

(x2)
I won't fall down again
My heart's now dead and gone
And I'm still breathing
I made it out alive

Made it out alive

Oh fuck this is fun
I just can't believe I didn't find this before
To just indulge even if it kills me
Who gives a fuck if we die (x3)

Another bottle down

(x2)
You should really try it sometime
'Cause it feels so good

Without a care if a heart gets broken
You'll all learn in the end that there's a better way
Baby, move in closer,
You couldn't hurt me if you tried

(x2)
I won't fall down again
My heart's now dead and gone
And I'm still breathing
I made it out alive

Take a seat my dear
Make yourself comfortable this could take a while
Crack another, dear
I can see now and I wouldn't change a thing
Life should burn with such a fucking flame
If not you've only got yourself to blame


11. RECKLESS & RELENTLESS

Music is fucking dead!
Thanks to you cunts, stabbing it in the fucking chest
You, and all these fake, righteous, undeserving bands
Fuck you!

Through sin and self destruction I stumble home, never alone
My only home is the bottom of a bottle and a rolled up bill and I'm ready to go
I live the same day in and out and I don't care how long I last
All the girls and drink and drugs but don't get me wrong
I'm having a fucking blast

I am rock and roll
Livin' the life that you can only dream of
I am rock and roll
At it's fucking finest

Just like the cigarettes hurt
Just like the whiskey burns
Whoa whoa
I guess I'm never gonna learn
(x2)

Not gonna stop until my heart stops beating
Not gonna stop until my last breath comes
I'm gonna go until I hit the floor and I can't find the way back to my feet anymore

Pass me a glass and let's destroy everything in this fucking place
Life at 300 miles an hour
You pussies can't keep up with this fucking pace

I am rock and roll
Livin' the life that you can only dream of
I am rock and roll
At it's fucking finest

Just like the cigarettes hurt
Just like the whiskey burns
Whoa whoa
I guess I'm never gonna learn
(x2)

I've spent the last two years tearing apart my soul
I'll put the next two in to kick-start the good old days of rock and roll

Without remorse, without regret, without a second thought
You hit the nail on the head with the back of your fucking throat

I am rock and roll
Livin' the life that you can only dream of
I am rock and roll
At it's fucking finest

Music is fucking dead!
Thanks to you cunts, stabbing it the fucking chest!
You, and all these fake, righteous, undeserving bands!
Fuck you!


12. TO THE STAGE

I'm out the door, I'm on my ass again like every night before
I'm off the wall, out of my fucking mind, I'm out of control
I'll be the end of her, I'm in her head and in control
She's let me in, now take a sip and let the show begin
The floor's all yours, the house is full
You've made the slip now take the fall
I pull your strings, you're too deep in
So will she sink or swim

Ladies and Gentlemen place your fucking bets
Here they come

Oh she's drown, how very spectacular
What a work of art I've spawned
Man am I proud of myself on this one
She's such a fucking masterpiece
Self destruction is such a pretty little thing

I know that I should walk away
But I can't bring myself to quit this game
She's just a beautiful girl with the weight of the world on her shoulders
I'm just a kick in the teeth from a world that's painted gold

[Laughing]
Turn the fucking table

She's out the door, she's on her ass again like every night before
She's off the wall, out of her fucking mind, she's out of control
I was the end of her
In her head, in control

Just like before
I should've told you again
That I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry

Just like before
I should've told you again
That I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry

Just like before
I should've told you again
That I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry

Just like before
I should've told you again
That I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry

Just like before
I should've told you again
That I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry


13. DEAR INSANITY

Oh sweet insanity
You take my hand and walk me out into the dark
We walk this road for hours and hours
To the white hills and the oceans

On a collision course to hell we march
We're doomed to this now
Oh the irony
If I'm going down I won't go down alone
You're doomed to this one
You're doomed to
You're doomed to this now
You're doomed to

Hold your breath my dear
We're going under
We're going under
Hold your breath my dear
We're going under
We're going under

I've walk this road for hours
To the white hills and the oceans
I search for solace in this toxic land of sin
Just let me in (Just let me in)
Don't wake me up, their songs are soothing
Their wine subdues me

Hold your breath my dear
We're going under
We're going under
Hold your breath my dear
We're going under
We're going under

Dreams, my mind won't lift me from my dreams
And I thought I can't escape my mind
Dreams, my mind won't lift me from my dreams
And though you try you can't escape me

Now you've seen what I've become
Now you've seen what I can do
Now you've seen what I'm capable of

I've walk this road for hours
To the white hills and the oceans
I search for solace in this toxic land of sin
Just let me in
Don't wake me up, their songs are soothing
Their wine subdues me

Welcome to the diary of a man that lost his mind so long ago
Welcome to the shell of a man with a heart so black and cold

Over and over in my head


14. RUN FREE

This world's yours for the taking
This world's yours for the taking
This world's yours for the taking
Run free!

Run free and wild, lose your mind
Escape your inhibitions
Taste the wind
Let your hair down
Throw your hands up

Go, go, go
Let go
Forget the consequences
Go, go, go
Let go, running free

Open your heart, open your mind
To a new world, to a new world
Spread out your wings and learn to fly
To a new world, to a new world

This world's yours for the taking
This world's yours for the taking
This world's yours for the taking
Run free!

Run free and wild, lose your mind
This world's yours for the taking
Open wide, scream it loud
"This is my life!"

Go, go, go
Let go
Forget what came before
Go, go, go
Let go, running free

Open your heart, open your mind
To a new world, to a new world
Spread out your wings and learn to fly
To a new world, to a new world

Move
Close your eyes and pray for something bigger than
This world has to give!
Make it worth your time when you move on to
Whatever the hell is next!
Know that you went in the end without a single
Regret!
That you lived and loved and laughed and cried and
Followed your dreams!

(You won't, you won't be alone in the end)
(You don't have to be afraid, yeah)

You won't, you won't be alone in the end
You don't have to be afraid

Run free and wild, let your heart soar with the eagles
Run free and wild, let your love take over
You won't be alone in the end
You don't have to be afraid


15. MORTE ET DABO

Morte et Dabo...
Morte et Dabo...

So he came forth and said unto me,
"Son you are forsaken
Condemned for the sins that you live,
I offer you forgiveness."

So he came forth and said unto me,
"Son you are forsaken
Condemned for the sins that you live,
I offer you forgiveness."

"Bow down before me."
"Bow down before me."

I'll never bow to he who claims to be divine;
I'll tear down your gates with bare fucking hands;
And burn the world that you rule over,
No matter how convinced you are you're not a god of mine;
You're not a fucking god of mine.

I never believed in you,
From what I see it was justified;
I never believed in you, in you.

This power over the masses is a gift you don't deserve;
When your blood spills, I'll drink from your skull;
You can run but you can't hide.
Bitch, I'll fucking find you!
I'll tear your eyes right out of your self-righteous face.
Lord, I'll fucking find you!
I'll tear your tongue out of your rancid fucking mouth.

Heaven will, burn to the fucking ground;
Your world will crumble, and fall from the skies;
Blood will spill, and rain upon the earth;
Your reign is over, and I'll wear your crown.

This is your demise;
I know you feel it in your chest.
This is your demise;
It's getting closer.
This is your demise;
I'm creeping from the depths of hell.
This is your demise;
I know where you sleep.

I never believed in you,
From what I see it was justified.
I never believed in you, in you.

Walk away to end the world
What a way to end the world,
Walk away to end the world
With false hope in a false god.
What a way to end the world,
With false hope in you.

Walk away to end the world,
With false hope in a false god,
Walk away to end the world,
With false hope in you.

Walk away to end the world.
What a way to end the world.


16. ALERION

Fuck this!

Cross my heart, I hope you die
Left by the roadside

Karma's a bitch, right?

Cross my heart, I hope you die
Left by the roadside

Karma's a bitch, right?


17. THE FINAL EPISODE (LET'S CHANGE THE CHANNEL)

Oh my God.
Oh my God.
If only he knew,
If only he knew,
If only he knew about the world without the bullshit and the lies,
We could've saved him.
They could've saved me.
But instead I'm here drowning in my own fucking mind,
And I'll be damned if you're the death of me.

Blood and ink stain the walls.
Silently with bloodied knuckles, I carry on
Hoping it's not too wrong.
You said the nights were far too long.
'Honey, it's just the start of it.'

Oh my God.
If only he knew.
Oh my God.
If only he knew.
If only he knew!
If only he knew.

Just stand up and scream.
The tainted clock is counting down.
(Faster and fast!)
You gave in to me.
Would you say the nights are far too long now?
(Faster, and faster and fast!)
(My God!)

Oh my God!
Oh my fucking God!

The tears that stain my cheek make me look weak!
I wear them proudly!
I wear them proud!

Just stand up and scream.
The tainted clock is counting down.
(Faster and fast!)
You gave in to me.
Would you say the nights are far too long now?
(Faster, and faster and fast!)

(x2:)
Your knife,
My back!
My gun,
Your head!

You need a doctor baby,
You scared?
You need a doctor baby,
You scared?
You need a doctor baby,
You scared?
You need a doctor baby,
You scared?
You scared,
You scared?
Yeah!
You need a doctor baby,
You scared?
You need a doctor baby,
You scared?
You need a doctor baby!
You need a doctor baby!
You scared?
