DISC 1 - LIVE AFTER DEATH (ORIGINAL LIVE ALBUM)


1. INTRO (CHURCHILL'S SPEECH)

We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France. We shall fight on the seas and oceans. We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills.
WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER!

Winston Churchill, 4th June 1940


2. ACES HIGH

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack

Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheelblocks, there's no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Gotta get airborne before it's too late

Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Won't you... run, live to fly, fly to live, aces high

Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin round and come in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing again

Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us
Ten ME-109's out of the sun
Ascending and turning our Spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them I press down my guns

Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Won't you... run, live to fly, fly to live, aces high


3. 2 MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT

Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason
The golden goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death

[Chorus #1]
The killer's breed of the demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore

[Chorus #2]
Two minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
Two minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb

The blind men shout let the creatures out
We'll show the unbelievers
Napalm screams of human flames
For a prime time belsen feast... Yeah !
As the reasons for the carnage cut
Their meat and lick the gravy
We oil the jaws of the war machine
And feed it with our babies

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]

The body bags and little rags
Of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain
To put the finger right on you
As the madmen play on words
And make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions
To make a better kind of gun

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]

Midnight, midnight, midnight... It's all night ! (x2)
Midnight... All night !


4. THE TROOPER

You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand, there's no turning back

The bugle sounds and the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horse breath
As I plunge into a certain death

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh !
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh !

The horse he sweats with fear, we break to run
The mighty roar of the russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near, yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day

[Chorus]

We get so close, near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pull the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below

And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan

[Chorus]


5. REVELATIONS

"O God of Earth and Altar
Bow down and hear our cry
Our earthly rulers falter
Our people drift and die
The walls of gold entomb us
The swords of scorns divide
Take not my thunder from us
But take away our pride"
(G.K. Chesterton, English Hymnal)

Just a babe in a black abyss
No reason for a place like this
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain
An easy way for the blind to go
A clever path for the fools who know
The secret of the hanged man - The smile on his lips

[Chorus]
The light of the blind - You'll see
The venom tears my spine
The eyes of the Nile are opening - You'll see

She came to me with a serpent's kiss
As the eye of the sun rise on her lips
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry
So we lay in a black embrace
And the seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched, and I waited for the dawn

[Chorus]

Blind all of us together
Ablaze with hope and free
No storm or heavy weather
Will rock the boat you'll see
The time has come to close your eyes
And still the wind and rain
For the one who will be king
The watcher in the ring
It is you ...? Oh, it is you ...?


6. FLIGHT OF ICARUS

As the sun breaks, above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms, to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still

His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze

[Chorus]
Fly, on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun

Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly

His eyes seems so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave

[Chorus]

Fly, on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun

On your way, like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly... Fly as high as the sun !


7. RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER

Hear the time of the ancient mariner
See his eye as he stops one of three
Mesmerises one of the wedding guests
Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea

And the music plays on, as the bride passes by
Caught by his spell and the mariner tells his tales

Driven South to the land of the snow and ice
To a place where nobody's been
Through the snow fog flies on the albatross
Hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings

And the ship sails on, back to the North
Through the fog and ice, and the albatross follows on

The mariner kills the bird of good omen
His shipmates cry against what he's done
But when the fog clears, they justify him
And make themselves a part of the crime

Sailing on and on and North across the sea
Sailing on and on and North 'til all is calm

The albatross begins with its vengeance
A terrible curse a thirst has begun
His shipmates blame bad luck on the mariner
About his neck, the dead bird is hung

And the curse goes on and on and on at sea
And the curse goes on and on for them and me

"Day after day, day after day, we stuck nor breath nor motion
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink
Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink"
(Samuel Taylor COLERIDGE, 1798-1834)

There calls the mariner, there comes a ship over the line
But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide
See... Onward she comes, onward she nears, out of the sun
See... She has no crew, she has no life, wait but there's too

Death and she life in death, they throw their dice for the crew
She wins the mariner and he belongs to her now
Then... Crew one by one, they drop down dead, two hundred men
She... She life in death, she lets him live, her chosen one

"One after one by the star dogged moon, too quick for groan or sigh
Each turned his face with a ghastly pang and cursed me with his eye
Four times fifty living men (and I heard nor sigh nor groan)
With heavy thump, a lifeless lump, they dropped down one by one"
(Samuel Taylor COLERIDGE, 1798-1834)

The curse it lives on in their eyes
The mariner he wished he'd die
Along with the sea creatures
But they lived on, so did he

And by the light of the moon
He prays for their beauty not doom
With heart he blessed them
God's creatures all of them too

Then the spell starts to break
The albatross falls from his neck
Sinks down like lead into the sea
Then down in falls comes the rain !

Hear the groans of the long dead seamen
See them stir and they start to rise
Bodies lifted by good spirits, none of them
Speak and they're lifeless in their eyes

And revenge is still sought, penance starts again
Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on

Now the curse is finally lifted
And the mariner sights his home
Spirits go from the long dead bodies
Form their own light and the mariner's left alone

And then a boat came sailing towards him
It was a joy he could not believe
The pilot's boat, his son and the hermit
Penance of life will fall onto him

And the ship it sinks like lead into the sea
And the hermit shrieves the mariner of his sins

The mariner's bound to tell of his story
To tell his tale wherever he goes
To teach God's word by his own example
That we must love all things that God made

And the wedding guests a sad and wiser man
And the tale goes on, and on, and on, and on...


8. POWERSLAVE

Into the abyss I'll fall... the eye of Horus
Into the eyes of the night... watching me go
Green is the cat's eye that glows... in this temple
Enter the risen Osiris... risen again

[Chorus]
Tell me why I had to be a powerslave
I don't wanna die, I'm a God, why can't I live on ?
When the life giver dies, all around is laid waste
And in my last hour I'm a slave to the power of death

When I was living this lie... fear was my game
People would worship and fall... drop to their knees
So bring me the blood and red wine... for the one to succeed me
For he is a man and a God... and he will die too

[Chorus]

Now I am cold but a ghost... lives in my veins
Silent the terror that reigned... marbled in stone
The shell of a man God preserved... for a thousand ages
But open the gates of my Hell... I'll strike from the grave

[Chorus]

Slave to the power of death (x2)


9. THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST

"How to you, oh Earth and Sea, for the devil sends the Beast with wrath, because he knows the

time is short... Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the Beast for it is a human

number, its number is six hundred and sixty six"
(Revelations, chapter XIII, V. 18)

I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to get the memories from my mind
What did I see, can I believe that what I saw
That night was real and not just fantasy
Just what I saw in my old dream were they
Reflections of my warped mind staring back at me
'Cause in my dreams it's always there,
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair

Night was black, was no use holding back
'Cause I just have to see was someone watching me
In the mist, dark figures move and twist
Was all this for real or just some kind of Hell

666, the number of the Beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
As they start to cry, hands held to the sky
In the night the fires are burning bright
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done

666, the number of the Beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight

This can't go on, I must inform the law
Can this still be real or some crazy dream
But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerise me... Can't avoir their eyes

666, the number of the Beast
666, the one for you and me

I'm coming back, I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire, I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take its course


10. HALLOWED BE THY NAME

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
'Cause at five o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low... running low...

When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me

Can it be there's been some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream

Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak

Tears flow but why am I crying
After all I'm not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end

As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why has he let me go ?

As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the ends is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul 'cause it's willing to fly away

Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth

When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion

Yeah... Hallowed be thy name (x2)


11. IRON MAIDEN

Won't you come into my room
I want to show you all my wares
I just want to see your blood
I just want to stand and stare

See the blood begin to flow
As it falls upon the floor
Iron Maiden can't be fought
Iron Maiden can't be sought

Oh well, wherever, wherever you are
Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far
See the blood flow, watching it shed
Up above my head, Iron Maiden wants you for dead

(all the song played 3 times)


12. RUN TO THE HILLS

White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes, he killed our creed
He took our game for his own need

We fought him hard, we fought him well
Out on the plains, we gave him Hell
But many came, too much for cree
Oh, will we ever be set free ?

Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom, the stab in the back
Women and children and cowards attack

[Chorus]
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives

Soldier blue in the barren wastes
Hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Indians are tame
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old

[Chorus] (x3)


13. RUNNING FREE

Just sixteen, a pick up truck
Out of money, out of luck
I've got nowhere to call my own
Hit the gas and here I go

[Chorus]
I'm running free yeah, I'm running free
I'm running free yeah, I'm running free

Spend the night in an L.A. jail
Listen to the sirens wail
But they ain't got a thing on me
I'm running wild, I'm running free... yeah !

[Chorus]

Get out of my way !

[Chorus]

Pulled her at the Bottle Top
Whisky dancing, disco hop
And all the boys are after me
And that's the way it's gonna be... yeah !

[Chorus] (x3)



DISC 2 - "LIVE AFTER DEATH" BONUS CD


1. LOSFER WORDS (BIG 'ORRA)

(Instrumental)


2. SANCTUARY

Out of the winter came a warhorse of steel
I've never killed a woman before but I know how it feels

[Chorus #1]
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law

I met up with a stranger last night, to keep me alive
He spends all his time on gambling and guns to survive

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]
So give me sanctuary from the law
And I'll be alright
Just give me sanctuary from the law
And love me tonight... tonight

[Chorus #1]

I can laugh at the wind, I can howl at the rain
Down in the canyon or out on the plains

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]

Love me tonight...


3. MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE

I remember it as plain as day although it happened in the dark of the night
I was strolling through the streets of Paris and it was cold, it was starting to rain
And then I heard a piercing scream and I rush to the scene of the crime
But all I found was the butchered remains of two girls lay side by side

Murders in the rue Morgue, someone call the gendarmes
Murders in the rue Morgue, run before the killers go free

There's some people coming down the street, at last there's someone heard my call
I can't understand why they're pointing at me, I never done nothing at all
But I must have got some blood on my hands because everyone's shouting at me
I can't speak french so I couldn't explain and like a fool I started running away

Murders in the rue Morgue, someone call the gendarmes
Murders in the rue Morgue, am I ever gonna be free ?

And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law, all France is looking for me
I've gotta find my way across the border for sure down the South to Italy

Murders in the rue Morgue, running from the gendarmes
Murders in the rue Morgue, I'm never going home

Well, I made it to the border at last but I can't erase the scene from my mind
Anytime somebody stares at me, well I just start running blind
Well, I've moving through the shadows at night, away from the staring eyes
Any day they'll be looking for me 'cause I know I show the sign of...

Murders in the rue Morgue, running from the gendarmes
Murders in the rue Morgue, running from the arms of the law

Murders in the rue Morgue, running from the gendarmes
Murders in the rue Morgue, am I ever gonna be free ?

It tool so long and I'm getting so tired, I'm running out of places to hide
Should I return to the scene of the crime where the two young victims died
If I could go to somebody for help, I'd get me out of trouble for sure
But I know that it's on my mind, that my doctor said I've done it before

Murders in the rue Morgue, they're never gonna find me
Murders in the rue Morgue, I'm never going home



DISC 3 - SOMEWHERE IN TIME (ORIGINAL ALBUM)


1. CAUGHT SOMEWHERE IN TIME

If you had the time to lose
An open mind and time to choose
Would you care to take a look
Or can you read me like a book

Time is always on my side (x2)

Can I tempt you come with me
Be devil may care fulfil your dream
If I said I'd take you there
Would you go, would you be scared

Time is always on my side (x2)

Don't be afraid, you're safe with me
Safe as any soul can be... honestly
Just let yourself go

[Chorus]
Caught somewhere in time (x3)
Oh, oh

[Chorus]

Like a wolf in sheep's clothing
You try to hide your deepest sins
Of all the things that you've done wrong
And I know where you belong

Time is always on my side (x2)

Make you an offer you can't refuse
You've only got your soul to lose... eternally
Let yourself go

[Chorus]

Caught somewhere in time (x2)
Caught now in two minds... oh, oh


2. WASTED YEARS

From the coast of gold
Across the seven seas
I'm travellin' on, far and wide
But now it seems
I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do
It isn't me but someone else

I close my eyes
And think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is
You never miss it 'til it's gone away
And my heart is lying there
And will be 'til my dying day

[Chorus]
So understand... Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... Make your stand and realise you're living in the golden years

Too much time on my hands
I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain, so easily
When you can't find the words to say
It's hard to make it through another day
And it makes me wanna cry
And throw my hands up to the sky

[Chorus] (x3)


3. SEA OF MADNESS

Out in the street somebody's crying
Out in the night the fires burn
Maybe tonight somebody's crying
Reached the point of no return

[Chorus #1]
Oh - My eyes they see but I can't believe
Oh - My heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave

[Chorus #2]
Like the eagle and the dove
Fly so high on wings above
When all you see can only bring you sadness
Like a river we will flow
On towards the see we go
When all you do can only bring you sadness
Out on the sea of madness

Somewhere I hear a voice that's calling
Out in the dark there burns a dream
You got to hope when you are falling
To find the world that you have seen

[Chorus #1]
[Chorus #2]

It's madness, the sun don't shine
On the sea of madness there ain't no wind to fill your sails
Madness, when all you see can only bring you sadness
On towards the sea we go...

Out in the night somebody's crying
Out in the night the fires burn
Maybe tonight somebody's crying
Reached the point of no return

[Chorus #1]
[Chorus #2]

Of madness... (x6)


4. HEAVEN CAN WAIT

Can't understand what is happening to me
This isn't real, this is only a dream
But I never have felt, no I never have felt this way before

I'm looking down on my body below
I lie asleep in the mist of a dream
It is now, could it be the angel of death has come for me

I can't believe that really my time has come
I don't feel ready, there's so much left undone
And it's my soul and I'm not gonna let it get away

[Chorus]
Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait 'till another day
Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait 'till another day

I have a lust for the Earth below
And Hell itself is my only foe
'Cause I've no fear of dying, I'll go when I'm good and ready

I snatch a glimpse to the lights eternal rays
I see a tunnel, I stand amazed
At all of the people standing there in front of me

Into the paths of rightness I'll be led
Is this the place where the living join the dead
I wish I knew this was only just a nightmare

[Chorus]

Take my hand, I'll lead you to the promised land
Take my hand, I'll give you immortality
Eternal youth, I'll take you to the other side
To see the truth, the path for you is decided

My body tingles, I feel so strange
I feel so tired, I feel so drained
And I'm wondering if I'll ever be the same again

Is this in limbo or Heaven or Hell
Maybe I'm going down there as well
I can't accept my soul will drift forever

I feel myself floating back down to Earth
So could this be the hour of my rebirth
Or have I died or will I wake from dreaming ?

[Chorus] (x2)


5. THE LONELINESS OF THE LONG DISTANCE RUNNER

The tough of the track with the wind
And the rain that's beating down on your back
Your heart's beating loud and goes on getting louder
And goes on even more 'til the sound is ringing in your head
With every step you tread and every breath you take

Determination makes you run, never stop
Got to win, got to run 'til you drop
Keep the pace, hold the race, your mind is getting clearer
You're over half way there, but the miles they never seem to end
As if you're in a dream, not getting anywhere, it seems so futile

[Chorus]
Run on and on
Run on and on
The loneliness of the long distance runner

I've got to keep running the course
I've got to keep running and win at all costs
I've got to keep going be strong
Must be so determined and push myself on

Run over stiles, across fields
Turn to look at who's on your heels, war ahead of the field
The line is getting nearer but do you want the glory that goes
You reach the final stretch, ideals are just a trace
You feel like throwing the race, it's all so futile

[Chorus] (x2)


6. STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND

Was many years ago when I left home and came this way
I was a young man full of hopes and dreams
But now it seems that all is lost and nothing gained
Sometimes things ain't what they seem

No brave new world, no brave new world
No brave new world, no brave new world

Night and day I scan horizon, sea and sky
My spirit wanders endlessly
Until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why
Hear me calling, rescue me

Set me free, set me free
Lost in this place, and leave no trace

[Chorus]
Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home

One hundred years have gone and men again they came that way
To find the answer to the mystery
They found his body lying where it fell on that day
Preserved in time for all to see

No brave new world, no brave new world
Lost in this place, and leave no trace

[Bridge]
What became of a man that started
All are gone and their souls departed
Let me here in this place
So all alone...

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

[Chorus] (x3)


7. DEJA-VU

When you see familiar faces
But you don't remember where they're from
Could you be wrong ?

When you've been particular places
That you know you've never been before
Can you be sure ?

'Cause you know this has happened before
And you know that this moment in time is for real
And you know when you feel deja-vu

[Chorus]
Feel like I've been here before (x4)

Ever had a conversation
That you realise you've had before
Isn't it strange ?

Have you ever talked to someone
And you fell you know what's coming next
It feels pre-arranged

'Cause you know that you've heard it before
And you think that this moment in time is surreal
'Cause you know when you feel deja-vu

[Chorus]


8. ALEXANDER THE GREAT

"My son, ask for thyself another kingdom, for that which I leave is too small for thee"
(King Philip of Macedonia, 339 B.C.)

Near to the East, in a part of ancient Greece
In an ancient land called Macedonia
Was born a son to Philip of Macedon
The legend his name was Alexander

In the age of nineteen he became the Macedon king
And he swore for free all of Asia Minor
By the Aegean Sea in 334 B.C.
He utterly the armies of Persia

[Chorus]
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a legend 'mongst mortal men

King Darius the Third defeated fled Persia
The Scynthians fell by the river Jaxartes
The Egypt fell to the Macedon king as well
And he founded the city called Alexandria

By the Tigris river he met king Darius again
And crushed him again in the battle or Arbela
Entering Babylon and Susa, treasures he found
Took Persepolis, the capital of Persia

[Chorus]

A phrygian king has bound a chariot yoke
And Alexander cut the "gordian knot"
And legend said that who untied the knot
He would became the master of Asia

Helonism he spread far and wide
The macedonian learned mind
Their culture was a western way of life
He paved the way for christianity

Marching on, marching on

The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander's army line by line
They wouldn't follow him to India
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
He died of fever in Babylon

I just know I gotta get you back, I just don't know how

I'm never goin' down on Juanita
Never gonna make my call
I'm never goin' down on Juanita
Never at all

I'm never goin' down on Juanita
Never gonna make my call
I'm never goin' down on Juanita
Two fingers at all

I'm never going back Juanita
I'm never goin' down on you Juanita
I'm never going back Juanita
I'm never going back Juanita

Never going back Juanita
Never at all


3. SHERIFF OF HUDDERSFIELD

"We have a mission from Rod'..."

Life in a city, living in L.A. is a long way from Huddersfield town
The back of the rainbow's a long way from Heaven but that's where he gets his pork pie
Limos and Ladies they're driving him queasy, rugby and cricket's unknown
Baseball and football they're making him lazy, your fan club says "Rodney come home"

[Chorus]
The sheriff of Huddersfield locked in his castle
Look down on the Hollywood hills
The sheriff of Huddersfield locked in his castle
You're our own hot rod on wheels

A good game of arrows, a few dozen barrels, the nautilus rusts in the yard
But for Yorkshire he's yearning but because he's earning, he'll always live in L.A.
A custom made wallet that stays in his pocket and never comes out to pay bills
He's winning at poker and playing the joker and he always cheats when he deals

[Chorus]

(Rodney's)
"Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Rodney. I'm immensely strong. When I were a lad, I

could lift up five navies on an end of a shovel. The reason I never took martial arts because I

was immensely fearsome and I'd probably killed everybody I came into contact with. I was

phenomenally strong. Pride and ego, my lads, pride and ego, is what makes the world rotate. And

everybody knows that the centre of the universe is Huddersfield but I don't live there anymore. I

live in Los Angeles. It's great. I think..."

Rufus the Red has a crane by his bed to wrench himself up in the morn'
But if you dare to tread at the foot of his bed, you'll wish you'd never been born
A bear with a sore head, we don't mean your forehead, he slumbers for most of the day
Wide eyes and legless baked beans for breakfast, your problem Rodney is L.A.

[Chorus] (x2)


4. THAT GIRL

The words she said turned out why desperation fills her eyes
Hold her in your arms, don't let go

When you taste defeat, when you loose again, fight and win, never give in
Hold her in your arms, don't let go

[Chorus]
That girl you need
Gonna knock you off your feet
That girl you know
She'll never let you go

That girl, that girl, that girl you need
That girl, that girl, that girl...

Can you hear her call ? She calls out your name, think about you, cry without you
Hold her in your arms, don't let go

Can you taste defeat, when you loose again, fight and win, never give in
Hold her in your arms, don't let go

[Chorus]

That girl, that girl, that girl you need
That girl, that girl, that girl, that girl...

That girl, that girl, that girl you need (x2)
That girl, that girl, that girl, that girl you know...



DISC 5 - SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON (ORIGINAL ALBUM)


(INTRO)

Seven deadly sins
Seven ways to win
Seven holy paths to Hell
And your trip begins...

Seven downward slopes
Seven bloodied hopes
Seven are your burning fires
Seven your desires...


1. MOONCHILD

I am he, the bornless one
The fallen angel watching you
Babylon, the scarlet whore
I'll infiltrate your gratitude
Don't you dare to save your son
Kill him now and save the young ones
Be the mother of a birth strangled babe
Be the devils on, Lucifer's my name

[Chorus #1]
Moonchild - Hear the mandrake scream
Moonchild - Open the seventh seal

I count the heads of those unborn
The accursed ones I'll find them all
If you die by your own hand
As a suicide, you shall be damned
And if you try to save your soul
I will torment you, you shall not grow old
With every second and passing breath
You'll be so alone, your soul will bleed to death

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]
Moonchild - You'll be my soon child
Moonchild - Take my hand tonight

The twins they are exhausted, seven is this night
Gemini is rising as the red lips kiss to bite
Seven angels seven demons battle for his soul
When Gabriel lies sleeping, this child was born to die

One more dies and one more lives
One baby cries, one mother grieves
Fall all the sins you will commit
You'll beg forgiveness and none I'll give
A web of fear shall be your coat
To cloth you in the night
A lucky escape for you young man
But I'll see you damned in endless night

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]


2. INFINITE DREAMS

Infinite dreams I can't deny them
Infinity is hard to comprehend
I couldn't hear those screams
Even in my wildest dreams
Suffocation waking in a sweat
Scared to fall asleep again
In case the dream begins again

Someone chasing I cannot move
Standing rigid at nightmare's statue
What a dream, when will it end ?
And will I transcend ?

Restless sleep the minds in turmoil
One nightmare ends another fertile
It's getting to me so scared to sleep
But scared to wake now, in too deep

Even though its reached new heights
I'd rather like the restless nights
It makes me wonder, makes me think
There's no more to this, I'm on the brink

It's not the fear of what's beyond
It's just that I might not respond
I have an interest almost craving
Would I like to get too far in ?

It can't be all coincidence
Too many things are evident
You tell me : "You're an unbeliever"
Spiritualist ? Well, me I'm neither

Would you like to know the truth
Of what's out there to have the proof
And find out just which side you're on
Where would you end, in Heaven or in Hell ?

Help me, help me to find my true
Self without seeing the future
Save me, save me from torturing
Myself even within my dreams

There's got to be just more to it than this
Or tell me why do we exist
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again and again...


3. CAN I PLAY WITH MADNESS

Can I play with madness?

Give me the sense to wonder, to wonder if I'm free
Give me a sense of wonder, to know I can be me
Give me the strength to hold my head up spit back in their face
Don't need no key to unlock this door, gonna break down the walls
Break out of this bad place...

[Chorus]
Can I play with madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
There's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness?
The prophet looked and he laughed at me, he said...
Can I play with madness?
He said you're blind, too blind to see
Oh, he said you're too blind to see

I screamed aloud to the old man, I said don't lie, don't say you don't know
I say you'll pay for this mischief in this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance and the Hell fires raged in his eyes
He said do you want to know the truth son - I'll tell you the truth
Your soul's gonna burn in the lake of fire...

[Chorus]
Oh, "listen to me" said the prophet

[Chorus]
Can I play with madness?


4. THE EVIL THAT MEN DO

Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with the slaughter of innocence
And I will pray for her, I will call her name out loud
I would bleed for her if I could only see her now

Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
You know... You know...

[Chorus]
The evil that men do lives on and on (x4)

Circle of fire my baptisme of joy at an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me
And I will pray for you, some day I may return
Don't you cry for me, beyond is where I learn

Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
You know... You know...

[Chorus]

Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
You know... You know...

[Chorus]

The evil... The evil... The evil that men do (x2)


5. SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON

Here they stand brothers them all
All the sons divided they'd fall
Here await the birth of the son
The seventh, the heavenly, the chosen one

Here the birth from an unbroken line
Born the healer, the seventh, his time
Unknowingly blessed and as his life unfolds
Slowly unveiling the power he holds

[Chorus]
Seventh son of a seventh son, seventh son of a seventh son (x4)

Then they watch the progress he makes
The good and the evil, which path will he take
Both of them trying to manipulate
The use of his powers before it's too late

[Chorus]

Today is born the seventh one
Born of woman the seventh son
And he in turn of a seventh son
He has the power to heal
He has the gift of the second sight
He is the chosen one
So it shall be written
So it shall be done


6. THE PROPHECY

Now that I know that the right time has come
My prediction will surely be true
The impending disaster it looms
And the whole of the village is doomed
Why won't you listen to me
Is it so hard to understand
That I am the real seventh son
Your life or death on me depends

Suffering and pain impending disaster
Souls crying the devil's laughter
I heard the cry of the seven whistlers
Lucifer smiles, looks on and waits

I'll take your life in my hand
Your fate, your fortune's in my visions
Heed what I say and you'll see what will be
Please listen to me...

Now that they see the disaster is done
Now they put all the blame unto me
They feel I brought on a curse
Don't they know that the torment it stays
With me knowing that I walk alone
Through the eyes of the future I see
They don't even know what fear is
Don't they know I'm the one who is cursed

Purgatory beckons souls lost forever
Life after death or Heaven hereafter
Heard the call of the seven whistlers again
Now Lucifer laughs Hell awaits

I had their lives in my hands
Their fate, their fortune's in my visions
No one believed in my true prophecy
And now it's too late...


7. THE CLAIRVOYANT

Feel the sweat break on my brow
Is it me or is it shadows that are dancing on the walls ?
Is this a dream or is it now ?
Is this a vision or nomality I see before my eyes ?

I wonder why, I wonder how
But it seems that the power's getting stronger every day
I feel a strength, an inner fire
But I'm scared I won't be able to control it anymore

[Chorus]
There's a time to live and a time to die
When it's time to meet the maker
There's a time to live but isn't it strange
That as soon as you're born you're dying

[Chorus]

Just by looking through your eyes
He could see the future penetrating right in through your mind
See the truth and see your lies
But for all his power couldn't foresee his own demise

[Chorus] (x2)
...And reborn again ??


8. ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

The demon in your mind will rape you in your bed at night
The wisdom of ages, the lies and outrages concealed

Time it waits for no man
My future it is revealed
Time it waits for no man
My fate is sealed

If I cancel tomorrow the undead will thank me today
Fly in the face of your prophets I mock your morality plays

The moon is red and bleeding
The sun is burned and black
The book of life is silent
No turning back

[Chorus]
Only the good die young - All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young - All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young, only the good die young

Mystery madman a victim of cruel charade
Some innocent pawn in an end game one more stalemate

Is death another birthday,
A way to kiss your dreams goodbye ?
Do the undead live within us
And look through our eyes ?

Walking on water are miracles all you can trust
Measure your coffin does it measure up to your lust ?

So I think I'll live you
With your bishops and your guilt
So until the next time
Have a good sin

[Chorus]


(OUTRO)

Seven deadly sins
Seven ways to win
Seven holy paths to Hell

Seven downward slopes
Seven bloodied hopes
Seven are your burning fires
Seven your desires...

Yowsa ! Yowsa ! Yowsa !


2. MASSACRE

At a point below zero
There's no place left to go
Six hundred unknown heroes
Killed like sleeping buffalo

Through the devil's canyon
Across the battlefield
Death has no companion
The spirit's lost...

There goes the bandolero
Through the hole in the wall
He's a coward but he doesn't care
He doesn't care of the men who ever dies

The general commanding
Defending what we feel
The troops they are depending
On reinforcements from the rear

If God is in this Heaven
How can there's no Heaven here ?
In God's name, they used weapons
For the massacre...

At a point below zero
The sun can see the land
Six hundred unknown heroes
Lay dead in the sand


3. PROWLER '88

Walking through the city
Looking oh so pretty
I've just got to find my way

See the Ladies flashing
All their legs and lashes
I've just got to find my way

[Chorus]
Well you see me crawling through
The bushes with it open wide
What you seeing girl
Can't you believe that feeling
Can't you believe it
Can't you believe your eyes
It's the real thing girl

Got me feeling myself, and reeling around
Got me talking but feel like walking around

Got me feeling myself, and reeling ar'
Got me talking but nothing's kill me
Got me feeling myself, and reeling around

Walking through the city
Looking oh so pretty
I've just got to find my way

See the Ladies flashing
All their legs and lashes
I've just got to find my way

[Chorus]

Got me feeling myself, and reeling around
Got me talking but feel like walking around... Yeah !


4. CHARLOTTE THE HARLOT '88

Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know what they're saying
Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love that they're giving

Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know what they're after
Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all their laughter

[Chorus]
Charlotte the harlot - Show me your legs
Charlotte the harlot - Take me to bed
Charlotte the harlot - Let me see blood
Charlotte the harlot - Let me see love

Taking so many men to your room, don't you feel no remorse
You charge them a fiver only for starters and ten the main course

You've got no feelings, they died long ago, don't you care who you let in
Don't you know you're breaking the law with the service you're giving

[Chorus]

There was a time when you left me standing there picking up pieces of love from the floor
Well, Charlotte you left me alone in there to make your ends as a bloody whore

Well, Charlotte you told me you love me true picking up pieces of love yesterday
Well, Charlotte your drawers are off colour too 'cause you're making love all day

Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know what they're saying
Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love that they're giving

Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know what they're after
Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all their laughter

[Chorus]

...And reborn again ??


7. THE PRISONER

"We want information, information, information... Who are you ?
The new number two... Who is number one ? You are number six..."

"I am not a number... I am a free man !"

"Ah, ah, ah !!!"

I'm on the run, I kill to eat
I'm starving now, feeling dead on my feet
Going all the way, I'm nature's beast
Do what I want and do as I please

Run, fight to breathe, it's tough
Now you see me - Ah ! Ah ! Now you don't
Break the walls, I'm coming out

[Chorus #1]
Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going...

Out !

If you kill me, it's self defence
If I kill you, then I call it vengeance
Spit in your eye, I will defy
You'll be afraid when I call out your name

Run, fight to breathe, it's gonna be tough
Now you see me, and now you don't
Break the walls, I'm coming out

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]
I'm not a number, I'm a free man
Live my life where I want to
You'd better scratch me from your black book
'Cause I'll run rings around you

[Chorus #1]
[Chorus #2]
[Chorus #1]


8. KILLERS

You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your back
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed
Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs

My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despise
The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night
I have no one, I'm bound to destroy all this greed
A voice inside me compelling to satisfy me

I can't see what a knife's meant to be
And you'll never know how I came to foresee, see, see

My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties
With the glimmer of metal my moment is ready to strike

The death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night
Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light !
I have found you and no there is no place to run
Excitement shakes me, oh God help me, what have I done ?

Oh, yeah ! I've done it...

You walk through the subway, my eyes burn a hole in your back
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed
Killer behind you, my blood lust defies all my needs

Oh, look out ! I'm coming for you...


9. STILL LIFE

Take a look in a pool and what do you see
In the dark dephts there faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see
They were there, oh I know you don't believe me

Oh... I've never felt so strange
But... I'm not going insane

I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do

Oh... They drain my strength away
Oh... They're asking me to stay

Nightmares... Spirits calling me
Nightmares... They won't leave me be

All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool

Now... I feel they are so near
I... begin to see them clear

Nightmares... coming all the time
Nightmares... will give me piece of mind

Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too

Oh... We'll drown together
It... will be forever

Nightmares... forever calling me
Nightmares... Now we rest in peace



DISC 7 - NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING (ORIGINAL ALBUM)


1. TAILGUNNER

Trace your way back fifty years
To the glow of Dresden, blood and tears
In the black above by the cruel searchlight
Men will die and men will fight, yeah !
Who shoot who and who fired first ?
Dripping death to whet the blood thirst
No radar lock on, skin and bone
The bomber boys are going home

[Chorus]
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner, you're a tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner, you're a tailgunner

[Chorus]

Nail that Fokker, kill that son
Gonna blow your guts out with my gun
The weather forecasts good for war
Cologne and Frankfurt ? Have some more !
Tail and Charlie in the boiling sky
The Enola Gay was my last try
Now that this tailgunner's gone
No more bombers (one big bomb !)

[Chorus] (x2)


2. HOLY SMOKE

Believe in me and send now money
I died on the cross, that ain't funny
But my so called friends they're making me a joke
They missed out what I said like I never spoke
They choose what they wanna hear, they don't tell a lie
They just leave out the truth as they're watching you die
They're saving your souls by taking your money
Flies around shit, bees around honey

[Chorus]
Holy smoke, holy smoke
Plenty bad preachers for the devil to stoke
Feed 'em in feet first this is no joke
This is thirsty work making holy smoke
...Making holy smoke

Jimmy a reptile and all his friends
Say they gonna be with you at the end
Burning records, burning books
Holy soldiers nazi looks
Crocodile smiles just wait a while
'Till the T.V. queen gets her make up clean
I've lived in filth, I've lived in sin
And I still smell cleaner than the shit you're in

[Chorus]
...Holy smoke smells good

They ain't religious but they ain't no fools
When Noah built his Cadillac it was cool
Two by two they're still going down
And the satellite circus just have left town
I think they're strange and when they're dead
They can have a Lincoln for their bed
Friend of the president, trick of the tail
Now they ain't got a prayer, 100 years in jail

[Chorus]
...Holy smoke... Ah !


3. NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING

There are times when I've wondered
And times when I've cried
When my prayers they were answered
At times when I've lied
But if you asked me a question
Would I tell you the truth
Now there's something to bet on
You've got nothing to lose

When I've sat by the window
And gazed at the rain
With an ache in my heart
But never feeling the pain
If you would tell me
Just what my life means
Walking a long road
Never reaching the end

God give me the answer to my life
God give me the answer to my dreams
God give me the answer to my prayers
God give me the answer to my being


4. PUBLIC ENEMA NUMBER ONE

When it all comes down the line and the lights then turn to greed
And you race off with your tyres screaming rolling thunder
And the people choke with poison, children cry in fear
But you've got your fast bullet, one way ticket outta here

[Chorus]
Fall on your knees today
And pray the world will mend its ways
Get to your feet again
Refugees from the heartbreak and the pain

In the cities, in the streets, there's a tension you can feel
The breaking strain is fast approaching, guns and riots
The politicians gamble and lie to save their skins
And the press get fed the scapegoats, public enema number one

[Chorus]

A million network slaves, in an advertising new age
I don't need a crystal ball to sell ya
Your children have more brains than your drug infested remains
California dreaming as the Earth dies screaming

[Chorus] (x2)


5. FATES WARNING

Why is it some of us are destined to stay alive
And some of us are here just so that we'll die
How come the bullet hits the other guy
Do we have to try and reason why

[Chorus]
Be it the devil or be it him
You can count on just one thing
When the time is up you'll know
Not just one power runs the show

Are we the lucky ones saved for another day
Or they the lucky ones who have taken their way
Is it a hand on your shoulder from the Lord above
Or the devil himself come to give you a shove

[Chorus]

A volcano erupts and sweeps a town away
A hurricane devastates the cities in its way
The grief and misery for the ones that are left behind
The worst is yet to come, a Hell to face mankind

[Chorus]


6. THE ASSASSIN

Now the contracts out
They're put the word about
I'm coming after you

It's not the money I make
It's the thrill of the chase
And I'm coming after you

I watch your every move
Study the things you do
And the pattern of your ways

I watch the way you walk
I hear your telephone talk
I want to understand the way you think

[Chorus]
Better watch out, 'cause I'm the assassin
Better watch out, 'cause I'm the assassin
Better watch out, better watch out

[Chorus]

Assassin ! (x4)

I'm in a cold cold sweat
I taste the smell of death
I know the moment's getting closer

And as you walk to the light
I feel my hands go tight
Excitement running through my veins

I've got you in my sight
I've got you dead to rights
The triggers waiting for my finger

I feel adrenalin rush
It's just the final touch
You can kiss your arse goodbye

[Chorus] (x2)

Assassin !


7. RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP

The convoy lights are dead ahead
The merchantmen lay in their bed
The thump of diesels hammer down
In the oily sea, the killing ground
Knuckles white, eyes alight
He slams the hatch on the deadly night
A cunning fox in the chicken's lair
A hound of Hell and the devil don't care

[Chorus]
Running silent, running deep, we are your final prayer
Warriors in secret sleep, a merchantman's nightmare
A silent death lies waiting for all of you below
Running silent, running deep, sink into your final sleep

Chill the hearts of fighting men
In open ocean wondering when
The lethal silver fish will fly
This boat will shiver, men will die
A cast of millions, a part to play
Killer ? Victim ? Fool for the day ?
Obeying an order, men have to die
Us or them, a well rehearsed lie

[Chorus]

The lifeboats shattered the hull is torn
The tar black smell of burning oil
On the way down to Davy Jones
Every man for himself, you're on your own
The wolf eyes watch the crosswire
"Stern tubes ready", "Aim and fire !"
They can pin some medal on your chest
But in two more weeks, dead like the rest

[Chorus]

Running silent, running deep, we are your final prayer
Warriors in secret sleep, a merchantman's nightmare...


8. HOOKS IN YOU

I got the keys to view at number 22
Behind my green door there's nothing to see
Ain't that a feature, what kind of creature
Would hang around waiting for a guy like me ?

Stone cold sober, sitting in silence
Laid back, looking for sympathy
I like a girl who knows where she's bound
I don't like girls who've been hanging around

[Chorus]
Hooks in you, hooks in me
Hooks in the ceiling for that well hung feeling
No big deal, no big sin
Strung up on love I got the hooks screwed in

[Chorus]

She's tied up, she can't come to the phone
You must have got your wires crossed, she ain't home
Knock on wood, you know I like that sound
She never could keep her feet on the ground

[Chorus] (x2)

Hooks in you, I've got those hooks in you
Hooks in you, in you...
Hooks in you, I've got those hooks in you
Hooks in you, in you...

Right on the money got it wrapped up tight
New ideas for the decor tonight
Make this house a preservation zone
Gonna set her in concrete, set her up on her own

[Chorus] (x2)

Hooks in you, I've got those hooks in you
Hooks in you, in you...
Hooks in you, I've got those hooks in you
Hooks in you, I've got those... hooks in you


9. BRING YOUR DAUGHTER... TO THE SLAUGHTER

Honey it's getting close to midnight
And all the myths are still in town
True love and lipstick on your linen
Bite the pillow make no sound
If there's some living to be done
Before your life becomes your tomb
You'd better know that I'm the one
Unchain your back door invite me around

[Chorus]
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter... to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go

[Chorus]
Let her go !

Honey it's getting close to daybreak
The sun is creeping in the sky
No patent remedies for heartache
Just empty words and humble pie
So get down on your kness honey
Assume an attitude
You just pray that I'll be waiting
'Cause you know... you know I'm coming soon

[Chorus] (x2)

So pick up your foolish pride, no going back
No where, no way, no place to hide... let her go !

Bring your daughter, bring your daughter (x3)
... to the slaughter

Bring your daughter... fetch your daughter (x3)
... to the slaughter

[Chorus] (x3)

Let her go ! Let her go ! Let her go !
I'm coming to get you now !


10. MOTHER RUSSIA

Mother Russia how are you sleeping
Middle winter cold winds blow
From the trees the snowflakes drifting
Swirling round like ghosts in the snow

Mother Russia poetry majestic
Tells the time of a great empire
Turning 'round the old man ponders
Reminiscing an age gone by

Mother Russia, dance of the Tsars
Hold up your heads, be proud of what you are
Now it has come, freedom at last
Turning the tides of history and your past

Mother Russia, dance of the Tsars
Hold up your heads, remember who you are
Can you release the anger, the grief
Can you be happy now your people are free

2. KILL ME CE SOIR

Remember that song called "kill me", from Victim's last LP
Too much of a risk for a golden disc, the price he paid for money

Ce soir, ce soir, assassination d'un rock 'n' roll star
Ce soir, ce soir, assassination d'un rock 'n' roll star

Sing your song, you can't go wrong, tempted his business advisor
No need for alarm, you'll come to no harm, he didn't mention the sniper

Ce soir, ce soir, assassination d'un rock 'n' roll star
Ce soir, ce soir, assassination d'un rock 'n' roll star

The news is read
The need is fed
One yawn, two yawn, and back to bed
Turn off the light
And hold me tight
C'mon, maman, bend down your head
And just sing on
Immortal song
Fini, belle vie, bonne nuit

Remember that song called "kill me", a lecture on political chicanery
Of peoples rape, recorded on tape, brought shame to the presidency

Tonight, tonight, one more point for human rights
Tonight, tonight, one more point for human rights

Remember that song called "kill me", once used by a man from Galilee
He had nothing to lose, he was King of the Jews, secured his place in History

Ce soir, ce soir, assassination d'un provocateur
Ce soir, ce soir, assassination d'un provocateur

The news is read
The poison's spread
One yawn, two yawn, and back to bed
Turn off the light
And hold me tight
C'mon, maman, bend down your head
And just sing on
Immortal song
Fini, belle vie

Turn off the light
And hold me tight
C'mon

Vick played his part with all his heart, he wasn't prepared for the shock
When hollow lead bit into his head, a new martyr for the book of rock
When hollow lead bit into his head, a new martyr for the book of rock

Ce soir, assassination d'un rock 'n' roll star
Ce soir, ce soir, assassination d'un rock 'n' roll star

Ce soir, assassination d'un rock 'n' roll provocateur
Ce soir, ce soir, ce soir, assassination d'un rock 'n' roll star


3. I'M A MOVER

I was born by the river, just like this river
I've been moving ever since
Ain't got nobody to call my own
You know I've been moving since the day I was born
Life is a game just made for fun
You know I don't love nobody
I don't love no one

Yes, I'm a mover, baby

Following the footsteps, one fine day
When I asked the wise man
C'mon which was the way
He said "Follow your heart and look for yourself
And come back and tell me
What you have learned"

Yes, I'm a mover, baby

Went back and told him, I found me a wife
Eleven children
And a real good life
Told him of love and there's a happy home
But I need... need to return
To that long winding road

Yes, I'm a mover, baby

I've got to move on down
Move on down, yeah

Move on


4. COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN

Hey girl, what you're doin' ?
Hey girl, you'll drive me to ruin

I don't know what it is about you
But I like it a lot
Oh, why don't you let me hold you
Let me feel your lovin' touch

Communication breakdown
It's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane !

Hey girl, I got something I think you want to know
Hey girl, I wanna tell you that I love you so

I wanna hold you in my arms
And feel your love tonight
I'm never gonna let you go
'Cause I like your charms

Communication breakdown
It's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane !

Communication breakdown
It's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane !

Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
I want to feel your love all night
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
I'm gonna make your telephone work tonight
Communication breakdown



DISC 9 - FEAR OF THE DARK (ORIGINAL ALBUM)


1. BE QUICK OR BE DEAD

Covered in sinners and dripping with gilt
Making you money from slime and from filth
Parading your bellies in ivory towers
Investing our lives in your schemes and your powers

[Chorus]
You got to watch them - Be quick or be dead
Snakes eyes in Heaven - The thief in your head
You got to watch them - Be quick or be dead
Snakes eyes in Heaven - The thief in your head

Be quick ! Or be dead ! (x2)

See... What's ruling all our lives
See... Who's pulling the strings
See... What's ruling all our lives
See... Who pulls the strings

I bet you won't fall on your face
Your belly will hold you in place

The serpent is crawling inside of your ear
He says you must vote for what you want to hear
Don't matter what's wrong as long as you're alright
Pull yourself stupid, rob yourself blind

[Chorus]

Be quick ! Or be dead ! (x2)

[Chorus]

Be quick ! Or be dead !
Be quick !


2. FROM HERE TO ETERNITY

She fell in love with his greasy machine
She leaned over wiped his kickstart clean
She's never seen the Beast before
But she left there wanting more more more

But when she was walking on down the road
She heard a sound that made her heart explode
He whispered to her to get on the back
"I'll take you on a ride from here to eternity"

[Chorus]
Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity

She must be having one of her crazy dreams
She'd never sat on a piece so mean
It made her feel like she's on cloud nine
She even thought she heard the engine sigh

But like all dreams that come to an end
They took a tumble at the devil's bend
The Beast and Charlotte they were two of a kind
They'd always take the line... from here to eternity

[Chorus] (x4)

Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity...


3. AFRAID TO SHOOT STRANGERS

Lying awake at night, I wipe the sweat from my brow
But it's not the fear 'cos I'd rather go now
Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead
The desert sand mound a burial ground

When it comes to the time are we partners in crime ?
When it comes to the time we'll be ready to die

God let us go now and finish what's to be done
Thy kingdom come, thy shall be done... on Earth
Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go
Should we live and let live, forget or forgive

But how can we let them go on this way ?
The reign of terror corruption must end
And we know deep down there's no other way
No trust, no reasoning, no more to say

Afraid to shoot strangers (x2)

Afraid... Afraid to shoot strangers (x8)

Afraid to shoot strangers (x4)


4. FEAR IS THE KEY

We live our lives in fever
In a choking sweat of fear
In the heat of the night you can feel so much
In the heat of the night I scream "Don't touch !"

[Chorus #1]
I remember a time when we used and abused
And we fought all our battles in vain
I remember a time we thought that passion was free
In the heat of the night... bodies aflame

We live in fever...

I hear your secret heartbeat
I hear your silent cties
The kids have lost their freedom
And nobody cares 'til somebody famous dies

[Chorus #1]

We live in fever... (x2)

[Chorus #2]
Now we live in a world of uncertainty
Fear is the key to what you want to be
You don't get a say, the majority gets its way
You're outnumbered by the bastards 'till the day you die...

I hear your silent... I bear I hear your silent cries
Oh, it's just a lie... the lies...
The kids have lost their freedom
And nobody cares 'til somebody famous dies
It's just a lie... the lies, the lies, the lies,
The lies, the lies, the lies, the lies, the lies... Oh !

I remember a time when we used and abused
Oh, it was just the lies...
I remember a time we thought that passion was free
When it was just the lies... the lies, the lies,
The lies, the lies, the lies, the lies... Hear the lies... Oh !

We live in fever... (x3)

[Chorus #2]


5. CHILDHOOD'S END

I'd sail across the ocean
I'd walk a hundred miles
If I could make it to the end
Oh, just to see a smile

You see it in their faces
The sadness in their tears
The desperation and the anger
Madness and the fear

[Chorus]
No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, just greed is here

Starvation and the hunger
The suffering and the pain
The agonies of all-out war
When will it come again ?

The struggle for the power
A tyrant trues again
Just what the Hell is going on ?
When will it ever end ?

[Chorus]

You see the full moon float
You watch the red sun rise
We take these things for granted
But somewhere someone's dying

Contaminated waters
Pollution and decay
Just waiting for disease to strike
Oh, will we learn someday ?

No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, no seed... Childhood's end !


6. WASTING LOVE

Maybe one day I'll be an honest man
Up till now I'm doing the best I can
Long roads, long days, of sunrise to sunset, of sunrise to sunset

Dream on brothers, while you can
Dream on sisters, I hope you find the one
All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time

[Chorus]
Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love, in a desperate caress, rolling shadows of night

Dream on brothers, while you can
Dream on sisters, I hope you find the one
All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time

Sands are flowing and
The lines are in your hand
In your eyes I see the hunger and the desperate cry that tears the night

[Chorus] (x3)


7. THE FUGITIVE

On a cold October morning as frost lay on the ground
Waiting to make my move, I made no sound
Waiting for the mist to cover all around
I carefully picked my time then took the wall

I'm sick and tired of running, the hunger and the pain
A stop to look about then off again
Being at the wrong place and at the wrong time
Suspected of a hit that was my crime

[Chorus]
I am a fugitive being hunted down like game
I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name
I am a fugitive being hunted down like game
I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name

Always looking 'round me, forever looking back
I'll always be a target for attack
Ever moving onwards, always on the run
Waiting for the sight of a loaded gun

[Chorus]

Even if I find them and get to clear my name
I know that things can never be the same
But if I ever prove my innocence some day
I've got to get them all to make them pay

[Chorus]


8. CHAINS OF MISERY

There is a madman in the corner of your eye
He likes to pry into your sunlight
He wants to burst into the street with you and I
A world of shadows and of rain

He's seen what love is...
He wants to pay you back with guilt...

[Chorus]
He lies to you, he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still 'till he's turned the key
He holds your chains of misery

Yeah... He's got your chains of misery

There's a prophet in the gutter in the street
He says "You're damned !" and you believe him
He's got a vision but it shines out through your eyes
A world of hatred and fear

He's felt what love means...
He wants to pay you back with pain...

[Chorus] (x2)

It's only love that holds the key to your heart...
It's only love...

[Chorus] (x2)


9. THE APPARITION

Now I'm here, can you see me?
'Cause I'm out on my own
When the room goes cold tell me you can feel me... 'cos I'm here

Here I am, can you see me?
Passing through, on my say
To a place I'd been to only in my dreams... before

In a world of delusion
Never turn your back on a friend
'Cause you can count your real true friends on one hand... through life

There are those that deceive you
There are those that'll let you down
Is there someone out there that would die for you... thought not

Live your life with a passion
Everything you do, do well
You only get out of life what you put in... so they say

In a world of confusion
People never say what they mean
If you want a straight answer go look for one... right now

In a room full of strangers
Do you stand with your back to the wall
Do you sometimes feel like you're on the outside... looking in?

You can make your own luck
You create your destiny
I believe you have the power if you want to... it's true

You can do what you want to
If you try a little bit harder
A little bit of faith goes a long way... it does

Are we here for a reason?
I'd like to know just what you think
It would be nice to know what happens when we die... wouldn't it?

There are some who are wise
There are some who are born naive
I believe that there are some that must have lived before... don't you?

As for me, well I'm thinking
You gotta keep an open mind
But I hope that my life's not an open and shut case

Extra sensory perception
Life after death, telepathy
Can the soul live on and travel through space and time?

You know I feel so elated
'Cause I'm about to find it out
And when I know all the answers, maybe then I'll come back... to fill you in

You don't be alarmed now
If I try to contact you
If things go missing or get moved around... it's me

And you don't disbelieve it
No matter what your "friends" might say
We'll meet up again some place, some way... one day


10. JUDAS BE MY GUIDE

Lights out - We live in a world of darkness
No doubt - Everything's up for sale
We sleep - All of the world is burning
We pray - To God for a better deal

[Chorus #1]
Nothing is sacred
Back then or now
Everything's wasted...
Is that all there is?
Can I go now?

[Chorus #2]
Judas my guide
Whispers in the night
Judas my guide

Fight wars - Die in a blaze of glory
Come home - Meat in a plastic sack
Fall down - Better pray to your God for mercy
So kneel - And help the blade cut clean

[Chorus #1]
[Chorus #2] (x2)

I live in the black
I've no guiding light
I'm whispering in your dreams...

[Chorus #2] (x2)


11. WEEKEND WARRIOR

The rebel of yesterday tomorrow's fool
Who are you kidding being that cool?
Trying to break away from running with the pack
But they ain't listening so you've gotta go back

You're a weekend warrior when you're one of the crowd
But it's over, just look at you now, look at you now
Just look at you now... Just look at you now...

You're not so brave the way you behave
It makes you sick, gotta get out quick
It's all bravado when you're out with your mates
It's like a different person goes through those gates

And the game begins, the adrenalin's high
Feel the tension maybe someone will die, someone will die
Someone will die... Maybe someone will die...

[Chorus]
A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior maybe you ain't that way anymore

[Chorus]

You've gotta get out, gotta get away
But you're in with a clique, it's not easy to stray
You've gotta admit you're just living a lie
It didn't take long to work out why

It's hard to say why you got involved
Just wanting to be part, just wanting to belong...
To belong... to belong... to belong... yeah !

[Chorus] (x2)

Some of the things that you've done
You feel so ashamed
After all, it's only a game... isn't it ?
And after all the adrenalin's gone
What you gonna do on Monday ?
What you gonna do ?
What you gonna do... on Monday ?

[Chorus]

A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior maybe you were never like that at all


12. FEAR OF THE DARK

I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark

[Chorus]
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there

Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light ?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching you

[Chorus]

Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no-one's there ?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone there

[Chorus]

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark (x4)

Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind

[Chorus] (x2)

When I'm walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone

3. I CAN'T SEE MY FEELINGS

I can't see my feelings
Open my eyes
I can't see my feelings
Open a pair of eyes

I can't see my feelings
Keep them behind
I just keep on reeling
Honey, please tell me why

I can't stand that dreaming
All of the time
Music sends a feeling
Up in the pale moonlight

5. NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING

There are times when I've wondered
And times when I've cried
When my prayers they were answered
At times when I've lied
But if you asked me a question
Would I tell you the truth
Now there's something to bet on
You've got nothing to lose

When I've sat by the window
And gazed at the rain
With an ache in my heart
But never feeling the pain
If you would tell me
Just what my life means
Walking a long road
Never reaching the end

God give me the answer to my life
God give me the answer to my dreams
God give me the answer to my prayers
God give me the answer to my being


6. PUBLIC ENEMA NUMBER ONE

When it all comes down the line and the lights then turn to greed
And you race off with your tyres screaming rolling thunder
And the people choke with poison, children cry in fear
But you've got your fast bullet, one way ticket outta here

[Chorus]
Fall on your knees today
And pray the world will mend its ways
Get to your feet again
Refugees from the heartbreak and the pain

In the cities, in the streets, there's a tension you can feel
The breaking strain is fast approaching, guns and riots
The politicians gamble and lie to save their skins
And the press get fed the scapegoats, public enema number one

[Chorus]

A million network slaves, in an advertising new age
I don't need a crystal ball to sell ya
Your children have more brains than your drug infested remains
California dreaming as the Earth dies screaming

[Chorus] (x2)
