1. HARD TIMES

Gotta bar lean, I'm looking mean
I need a drink, I've gotta drink to think
You say I'm drunk but that's me in the mirror
Looking for a fight who says "..."

Come and hit me, falling to the ground
Knee me in the groin, won't make a sound
Head over heels for a fight with you
I'm gonna teach you a trick or two

[Chorus]
You know in my life, I've been a fighting man
Hard times hit me, now I'm going down
You know in my life, I've been a fighting man
Hard times hit me, now I'm going
Now I'm going down

Back to the wall and out for the count
Rock and reel, do you know how I feel?
Swim in swinging I'm blind as an eel
Don't you puck cause I'm coming back

You come and hit me, falling to the ground
Knee me in the groin, won't make a sound
Head over heels for a fight with you
I'm gonna teach you a trick or two

[Chorus]

[Solo]

You know in my life, I've been a fighting man
Hard times hit me, now I'm going down
You know in my life, I've been a fighting man
Hard times hit me, now I'm going down

[Chorus]


2. TAKE IT LIKE A MAN

Leading me on you've been a bad bad boy
Betcha since you've been a kid, you've been a mama's toy

I'm gonna teach you, you're gonna learn
Don't fool with me, I'm gonna make you burn

Little boy blue take off your shoe
Just come a little closer so my aim is true

But I don't wanna do it, gonna make you hop
It's hurting me, Is it hurting you?

[Chorus]
Take it like a man
Oh, gonna do it all I can
Take it like a man
Oh, gonna do it all I can


3. VICE VERSA

She was a real two timer
She knew I'd never leave
She thought that she could make it
I could never believe

[Stick]
She looked so healthy
And she looked so clean
But when she got to bite you
Was she mean

Vice versa, vice versa

She could roll you over
And make you blind
She could say things to astound
The dirtiest mind

She looked so healthy
And she looked so clean
But when she got to bite her
Was she mean

[Solo]

Vice versa, vice versa

[Solo]

She could roll you over
And make you blind
She could say things to astound
The dirtiest mind

[Stick]

Vice versa, vice versa [x2]
Turning you around


4. MANWATCHER

Peeking at you, looking at you through the wall
Wanting you, your body looking so small
Teasing me, saying you are gonna do it
Touching me, loving me and lead me to it
Anytime, you wanna lay me, come and fetch it
Pretty tight, money maker never gets it

S-s-s-say you will, I'll welcome you to my place
Come inside, helping me to get it out
Open up, let me in I'm knocking for you
Looking out, no-one about to call for you
Get it up, walking out in early morning
Time to go, can I come again tomorrow?

[Chorus]
Hold tight, take the reins
Pushing harder feel the pain
Manwatcher, it's alright
Manwatcher , came tonight
Manwatcher , take the blame
Manwatcher , on the game

[Solo]

[Chorus]


5. TOO CLOSE TOO ROCK

We had you trained to be so classical
Yes and you learned to play the guitar at school
But now we've caught you, you've been playing the fool
We don't think your musical taste is cool

[Chorus]
You were too close to rock and roll
I paid for the teacher so I own your soul

Move out of the house, you can't use the car
You spend your lectures just drinking in the college bar
You don't wanna get a job, you won't get far
Pretty soon you're gonna come home, gonna need your Ma and Pa

[Chorus]

[Solo]

Too close to rock and roll
I paid for the man I own your soul
Leading me on you've been a bad bad boy
Betcha since you've been a kid, you've been a mama's toy

Aaaaaaaaaah!!!!

Too close to, too close to, too close to
Too close to rock and roll


6. THUNDERBURST

(Instrumental)


7. HAMMERHEAD

A story is told that in Asgard of old
was a hammer of great might
By the furnace light in the depth of night
there was cast an ingot of old

Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind [x2]

They hammered on wrought and the rune spell caught
and engraved upon it's shaft
With a head of steel beneath which all men would kneel
and would lay down the sword at last

Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind [x2]

[Stick]
They laid on the anvil, a steel cold bar
Needing no fire nor file
But their sledgehammers, like thunder rolled
And sindre sang runes by the fire

[Solo]

[Stick]

Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind [x4]


8. HUNTED

I'm the lion, king of the jungle
following my food home
Hunting around for some real life
Don't want to know where any fool knows

[Chorus]
Nobody understands me
Don't talk to me, I can't see
You're nailing my brain to a tree
Why can't you just let me be

If I wrote these words on paper
You would strangle them in your hands
Then sail on in your burning boats
into you promised land

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Chorus] til fade out


9. TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER

Coming down to earth, and smiling cause you know I know
The mother ship has left you bleeding in the cold
I need a revelation open up and come with me
Take me to your leader, got a problem, want it solved

[Chorus]
Watcher of the skies
Look into my eyes
Watcher of the skies
Look into my eyes

I'm looking around and I wanna be up there [x2]

You taught me how to fly, I'm getting high I wanna cry
I can feel your saucer bur into my soul
I need a revelation open up and come with me
Take me to your leader, got a problem, want it solved

[Chorus]

I'm looking around and I wanna be up there [x2]

[Solo]

Going home tonight, to bathe in everlasting light
The image in the starlight burns into my brain
I knew your astral plain was laying down the way for me
Take me to your leader, got a problem, want it solved

[Chorus] (x2)


10. WALKING OUT ON YOU

Walking out on you [x2]

Easy chairs and an easy life
That's what I want from you
Just one rich bitch for an easy wife
Don't wanna do nothing new

Walking out on you [x2]

Loving you came so easily
When you laid your money down
Wouldn't bite the hand that was feeding me
Until you'd pay for my crown

[Solo]

Living free came so easily
When you laid your body down
I led the way and you gave to me
Everything you ever had

Walking out on you [x4]
