1. ROCK AND ROLL DESERVES TO DIE

Dressed up in the emperor's old clothes
And they're pulling at a thread
Naked with your empty heart exposed
You will wish that you were dead
You fooled us all
More buck less bang
When the verdict is returned
You will surely hang

Rock and roll, your time has finally come
I am afraid you must die
(I am afraid you must die)
Rock and roll, your time has finally come
I am afraid you must die
(I am afraid you must die)
Now I'm afraid you must die

Rock and roll deserves to die
Rock and roll deserves to die

All of us have built a house of cards
In the eye of a storm
Charlatans all tattoos and no scars
Nothing real to perform
You will lose your head
When judgement is passed
Tied your colours
To a sinking galleon's mast

Rock and roll, your time has finally come
I am afraid you must die
Rock and roll, your time has finally come
I'm afraid you must die
Now I'm afraid you must die

Deserves to die
Rock and roll deserves to die
Deserves to die
Rock and roll deserves to die

Die
Rock and roll deserves to die
Rock and roll deserves to die
Rock and roll deserves to die
Rock and roll deserves to die

Die, die, die, die
Die, die, die, die

Die, die, die, die
Die, die, die, die
Die, die, die, die
Die, die, die, die
Die, die, die, die
Die, die, die, die
Die


2. HOW CAN I LOSE YOUR LOVE

No regrets
Too many to mention
I lose my mind
When I'm starved of attention
You took my heart
When you should have declined it
Runs like clockwork
But you still have to wind it
I already miss your sweet caress
I already miss your tenderness
Do you remember when we used to say
Forever?

How can I lose your love
If I'm still trying to find it
How can I lose your love?
It's over but we're stuck behind it
Love is such a beautiful word
Your actions undermined it
How can I lose your love?

I'm giving up
Taking flak
Reaching out
And getting nothing back
It's sad to see it
Buckle under the tension
I thought we'd be together
When we're drawing my pension
But here I am
In another transition
There's another victim
Of my naked ambition
Doesn't really matter
What we fought about
When it's over

How can I lose your love
If I'm still trying to find it
How can I lose your love?
It's over but we're stuck behind it
Love is such a beautiful word
Your actions undermined it
How can I lose your love?

How can I lose your love
If I'm still trying to find it
How can I lose your love?
It's over but we're stuck behind it
Love is such a beautiful word
Your actions undermined it
How can I lose your love?
Love
Love
Love


3. LIVE 'TIL I DIE

I was born out of wedlock on the seventeenth day
Of the third month of seventy five
I watched my Daddy working every hour God sends
Just to keep all of my dreams alive
I was the eldest of three, the pressure never got to me
I guess I had a vision of how everybody should be
Thinking not of what they'll miss
Until we're standing at the edge of the abyss

Live 'til I die
Laugh 'til I cry
Live 'til I die
Laugh 'til I cry

'Cause I know what I'm looking for
I won't listen any more
Any more

Well I went through some changes at the age of fourteen
And discovered all the joys of rock wear
I made a point of wearing unfeasibly tight jeans
And endeavoured just to grow my hair
But kids can be cruel, I wasn't popular at school
I became the subject of a campaign of ridicule
But I'll stick by my guns
And rise above the laughter of the ignorant ones

Live 'til I die
Laugh 'til I cry
Live 'til I die
Laugh 'til I cry

'Cause I know what I'm looking for
I won't listen any more
Any more

And the soundest advice I ever heard a man give
Was Daddy on the subject of the way I want to live
If that's the path you wish to tread
Put all your clothes back on and take it off of your head
'Cause I'll always be here and if you freeze I'll talk you down
You don't have to feel obliged to act the high school clown
I know you've got what it takes
And if you want to you can learn from your mistakes

Live 'til you die
Laugh 'til you cry
Live 'til you die
Laugh 'til you cry


4. HEART EXPLODES

I'm standing on a cliff top
And I'm looking out to sea
The sirens of the Netherlands
Are beckoning me
I'm trying to write a ballad
That makes you want to stay
They're easy to come up with
But they're difficult to play
'Cause I know what I'm supposed to do
But I don't know if I can
Sell the world a story
'Bout a woman and a man
Who meet at the beginning
Together they belong
It feels like they are winning
Until everything goes wrong

Take me to the open road
I'll run until my heart explodes
Take me to the open road
Or give me back the love I'm owed
'Til my heart explodes
'Til my heart explodes

I'm standing in the weather
And I can't open the door
Then suddenly it hits me
This isn't my house any more
I knew you wouldn't listen
So I've given you carte blanche
To build a clown asylum
On the Neverland Ranch
I can't believe it's over
I can't believe I'm free
To sleep with anybody
Who wants to sleep with me
I never wrote that ballad
There isn't such a song
I tried to make you happy
And then everything went wrong

Take me to the open road
I'll run until my heart explodes
Take me to the open road
Or give me back the love I'm owed
'Til my heart explodes
'Til my heart explodes

Free to love again
Like the love you never showed
Free to love again
Love 'til our hearts explode
'Til my heart explodes
'Til my heart explodes


5. DECK CHAIR

We had not long set sail
When a gust of a gale
Whisked my poor deckchair away
Into the brine
This blusterous swine
Stole something precious from me that day

What will I sit on
Now that my chair's gone?
Where will I rest my behind?
Who will cradle me
Through the stormy seas
Of life and of time?

La vie
Le temps
La mort
Qui te bercera?
J'appartiens à Poseidon
Le vent est ton tempérament
Mon amour

I stand here alone
For I have not a throne
Surveying the swell for a sign
The seat I relied on
Belongs to Poseidon
She is Neptune's, not mine


6. EASTER IS CANCELLED

I die in vain
I have lived to no avail
The path forks before you
Drive in the final nail
A thousand years of chaos
And a thousand more
Pestilence and famine
Violence and war
Rise of the arseclowns
Burning everything
We cannot trust the air we breathe
And the birds no longer sing

Easter is cancelled
No more death and no rebirth
Peace on planet earth
Easter is cancelled
And the children do not dance
Give the world a chance

Peace
Time
Peace on planet earth
Huh

Tell me children
Can you live with what you've done?
Aren't you disgusted
By what you have become?
Mesmerized by evil, feasting on their lies
Too high on the smell of your own fear to realize
Spreading disease so they can sell the cure
Goodness is always diluted, evil is always pure

Easter is cancelled
No more death and no rebirth
Peace on planet earth
Easter is cancelled
And the children do not dance
Give the world a chance

You wait a lifetime for an angel
Demons tearing you apart
Consequences of betrayal
In the end you break your own heart

Easter is cancelled
No more death and no rebirth
Peace on planet earth
Easter is cancelled
And the children do not dance
Give the world a chance


7. HEAVY METAL LOVER

Come on over baby sit next to me
Listen to a little obituary
You love your metal and it loves you back
Even your pajamas are black

You look so happy when you're carving meat
Meshugga pie honey bunny you're so sweet
I feel so metal when you're by my side
All of my neighbours are terrified

Heavy Metal Lover I just want to be with you
Heavy Metal Lover I just want to be with you
Heavy Metal Lover I just want to be with you
Heavy Metal Lover I just want to be with you

Lipstick on my coffee cup, blood in the bath
Your favourite power ballad is Chopped in Half
You're so metal I'm afraid you'll rust
But you fear nothing, in Satan you trust

You're in every dark thought that I ever think
I love your denim and I love your ink
None more metal, elegance and grace
We make sweet love to Hammer Smashed Face

Heavy Metal Lover I just want to be with you
Heavy Metal Lover I just want to be with you
Heavy Metal Lover I just want to be with you

8. IN ANOTHER LIFE

Heart and soul
On the line
I can't find a way
To make you mine
Honey, times are hard
Our love is cursed
But in a parallel
Universe

We keep it together
Leave each other never
Every other day an Ascension
No pain or whatever
Me and you forever
Love in another dimension

In another life
In another life
I will make you mine
In another life
In another life
I will make you mine
In another life
Woah

Why don't you
Understand?
Don't you feel the spark
When you touch my hand?
You're in my head
You belong to me
In an alternate
Reality

We keep it together
Leave each other never
Every other day an Ascension
No pain or whatever
Me and you forever
Love in another dimension

In another life
In another life
I will make you mine
In another life
In another life
I will make you mine
In another life

Where the eagles dare
To love one another
Put their feathers around each other
To build a nest and put an egg inside of it
On a mountain top
In another life

In another life
I will make you mine
Yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I will make you mine in another life
I will make you mine


9. CHOKE ON IT

Words of kindness long reduced
To ashes in your throat
If I'm not welcome any more
I think I'll get my coat
I only came for love
But I think I missed the boat

Screaming 'til you're blue in the face
I wish the course of love ran smoother
You've bitten off more than you can chew
I hope my heart was a tasty hors d'œuvre
You don't wanna hug
You need the Heimlich manoeuvre

I scratch your back but you let mine itch
The thought of you makes my eye twitch
You can take my money I'll make you rich
I hope you fucking choke on it

Choke on it
Baby
Choke on it
Yeah yeah yeah
Baby
Choke on it
Yeah yeah yeah

How can you blame a red blooded male
For lining up the foxes?
If you don't want me, I can look elsewhere
That's what the golden rule of rock says
And no, I don't need help
I'll pay someone else to carry my boxes

I scratch your back but you let mine itch
The thought of you makes my eye twitch
You can take my money I'll make you rich
I hope you fucking choke on it

Choke on it
Baby
Choke on it
Yeah yeah yeah
Baby
Choke on it
Yeah yeah yeah

How's a man supposed to shine
When all you do is fucking whine?
What's mine is yours, what's yours is yours
I hope you fucking choke on it

Choke on it
Baby
Choke on it
Yeah yeah yeah
Baby
Choke on it
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yes indeed


10. WE ARE THE GUITAR MEN

Were it not for my guitar
My hands would both be idle
My brain suicidal
For I would not have an outlet
For the tidal wave of feelings
In my heart

When I'm trying not to cry
I grab her by the neck
And strike her with a plectrum
A life without accompaniment
Would wreck me so I hope
We never part

Give me a guitar
An extension of my soul
Hold her in my arms and I
Lose control
(He is the guitar man)
She completes me, makes me whole
We are the guitar men
Long live rock and roll

Aaah aaah
Aaah aaah

When I cannot find the words
My fingers will articulate
The pain, the joy, the love, the hate
So listen as my instrument
Dictates a memorandum
To the throng

How I love my sweet guitar
To the luthier I owe a debt
Of gratitude for every fret
For when I hold my baby in my arms
I get the feeling I belong

Give me a guitar
An extension of my soul
Hold her in my arms and I
Lose control
(He is the guitar man)
She completes me, makes me whole
We are the guitar men
Long live rock and roll

Give me my guitar
An extension of my soul
Something to believe in
Truth be told
(He is the guitar man)
She completes me, makes me whole
We are the guitar men
Long live rock and roll

Aaah aaah
Aaah aaah
Aaah aaah
Aaah aaah


11. LAYLOW

If you're looking for somewhere to go
For an aftershow
And you like it smoky
There's a lovely little place I know
And it's called Laylow
It ain't no jokey

Laylow
Sanctuary
No-one can see behind the door-a
Laylow
Haven of dreams
They got Cara Delevingne
And Rita Ora

With the paparazzi on your tail
You fancy egg of quail
And you are thirsty
Duck into its welcoming embrace
Where the food is ace
And the bubbly's bursty

Laylow
Sanctuary
No-one can see behind the door-a
Laylow
Haven of dreams
They got both the Delevingnes
And Rita Ora

When the great unwashed in this old town
Start to get you down
Leave me alone-y
Let the doorman bring their night to an end
While you just pretend
To be on the phone-y

Laylow
Sanctuary
No-one can see behind the door-a
Laylow
Haven of dreams
They got all the Delevingnes
And Rita Ora


12. DIFFERENT EYES

I've always loved the game
This is the best I've ever played
I think I've hit a purple patch
Just making lemonade
We'd come so far together
Then I took a different road
You pushed me away from you
Now you can watch my life explode

Now I'm seeing the world through different eyes
I see the world through different eyes
Through different eyes

I know you like to torture me
Is that the best that you can do?
It doesn't hurt at all
I'm not afraid of you
I always find the power
To die another day
You find out who your friends are
When somebody takes your life away

Now I'm seeing the world through different eyes
I see the world through different eyes yeah

Now I'm seeing the world through different eyes
I see the world through different eyes
Now I'm seeing the world through different eyes
I see the world through different eyes
Through different eyes


13. CONFIRMATION BIAS

I love your eyes
When they gaze upon me
I love your hands
When they are applauding my achievements
Mine alone
I love your mind, you recognise my genius

But I hate it when they say it's
Confirmation Bias
I hate it when they say it's
Confirmation Bias
We're the same
We are great

I love your smile
Because I made you do it
I love your heart
It's set upon becoming my belonging
Mine alone
I love your voice
You tell me that you need me

But I hate it when they say it's
Confirmation Bias
I hate it when they say it's
Confirmation Bias
We're the same
We are great
We're the same
Two peas in a pod
Oh God
How I love you

I love your eyes
When they gaze upon me
I love your hands
When they are applauding my achievements
Mine alone
I love your mind, you recognise my genius

But I hate it when they say it's
Confirmation Bias
I hate it when they say it's
Confirmation Bias
We're the same
We are great


14. SUTTON HOO

We have stumbled upon
A ghost town in the East
There is no sign of life
No sign of the deceased?
Evidence of a ship
With sails and oars intact
No human remains
No theory and no fact
Where to, if they fled?
Where'd they die if they're dead?

Was it famine, was it war?
What did the people leave the settlement for?
Sutton Hoo can unlock these mysteries
Was it marooned or was it moored?
Did the townsfolk put the sailors to the sword?
Sutton Hoo can unlock these mysteries
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh Sutton Hoo

A celestial craft
Appeared in the sky
All the witnesses fell
Down to their knees and cried
Hundreds of years
Before the age of steam
The townsfolk were fixed
In its tractor beam
Blinding light in their eyes
As they helplessly rise

Then an aperture appeared
In the hull, as the floating Saxons neared
Sutton Hoo can unlock these mysteries
Lizard men tearing at their robes
Other lizard men polishing their probes
Sutton Hoo can unlock these mysteries
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh Sutton Hoo

No more pain and no more fear
It's a different atmosphere
Sutton Hoo can unlock these mysteries
Leave behind the human race
As we're travelling through space
Sutton Hoo can unlock these mysteries
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh Sutton Hoo
