HELLACOPTERS
Supershitty To The Max!
(Gotta Get Some Action) NOW!
There comes a time when a man's gotta choose
A time when you have to decide what to do
Watcha' gonna do? Well I got better things to do with my time
Than to sit on my ass and throw pearls before swine
Gotta-gotta-go-go light up the ignition
Gotta kill that sacred cow
Please spare me all of your futuristic visions
'Cuz I gotta get some action
Gotta get some action now!
Things have been goin' on for much too long
Yeah I've heard it all before and I think I know the song
Careful now kid, you might just fall for their ruse
Well I couldn't really bother 'cuz I got nothin' to lose
Gotta-gotta-go-go light up the ignition
Gotta kill that sacred cow
Please spare me all of your futuristic visions
'Cuz I gotta get some action
'Cuz I gotta get some action
'Cuz I gotta get some action
Gotta-gotta-go-go light up the ignition
Gotta kill that sacred cow
Please spare me all of your futuristic visions
'Cuz I gotta get some action
Gotta get some action now!
24 h Hell
In her voice I sensed reality
So I walked out thru' the door
My sneakers suckin' up rain from the street
And there was nowhere to score
Spent that night in a park
Slept under a tree
At dawn the cops came by
And took a beating on me
And took a beating on me
Yeah you bet them bastards took a beating on me
Oh yeah!!!
Next day I went back to her place
And found my stuff lying on her stairs
All my records and comic books she had trashed
So I left it all there
Spent another night in the park
I will go back but I don't know when
Smoke a cigarette and wait for the cops
To come back and beat me again
Come back and beat me again
Yeah you bet them pigs came back to beat me again
I ain't got much but I still got pride
Another day and another ride
When will it end, I just can't tell
Every day a 24 h hell
I ain't got much but I still got pride
Another day and another ride
When will it end, I just can't tell
Every day a 24 h hell
Fire Fire Fire
I got time for some rock'n'roll
Never really cared about my soul
Workin' all day won't get me far
So I will set it for a six-pack and a fast car
Pack of smokes and a bottle of wine
9-5 can't make it rhyme
Time's right now, I wanna get some kicks
Booze, tough chicks and spaghetti flicks
Oh yeah!!!
Oh yeah, I think I've made up my mind
Can't wait 'cuz I ain't got the time
Standing at the crossroads with my guitar
I take the one to the left and I will be a star
I got time for some rock'n'roll
Never really cared about my soul
Workin' all day won't get me far
So I will set it for a six-pack and a fast car
Oh yeah!!!
To hell I will be damned
Fire Fire Fire
To hell I will be damned
Yeah!!!
Fire Fire Fire
Born Broke
Staying straight got me so strung out
Being sure just put me in doubt
Your teaching really made me dumb
Don't call me slacker 'cuz I am a bum!
Hang around the wrong kind of streets
Can't get out but I can take the heat
Smokin' cigarettes 'til I choke'Cuz
I was born baby born to be broke
Born broke
Oh yes I'm born broke
Oh yes I'm born broke
Born broke
Down another six-pack
Please get 'em off my back
If I can keep the I.R.S. away
From my guitar I will be O.K.
'Cuz I'm broke Oh yes I'm born broke
Oh yes I'm born broke
I'm born broke
Born broke
Staying straight got me so strung out
Being sure just put me in doubt
Your teaching really made me dumb
Don't call me slacker 'cuz I am a bum!
Hang around the wrong kind of streets
Can't get out but I can take the heat
Smokin' cigarettes 'til I choke
Cuz I was born baby born to be broke

Bore Me
Sweet little 16 is just getting sober
Trying to recover from a devils hangover yeah!
Says she's going straight, but she's just up around the bend
That she'll go into rehab with the cash that mommy sent on yeah!
She knew that bad guys they date tough chicks
That's how she got her habit and her ticks
You bore me!
You fucking bore me!
Yeah you bore me!
Yeah you're boring and you're not alone
Says she will but you know she ain't
Thinks she's really clever but she only faint
Face to face with suicide
Fuckin' up every time oh yeah!
She knew that bad guys they date tough chicks
That's how she got her habit and her ticks
You bore me!
You fucking bore me!
Yeah you bore me!
Yeah you're boring and you're not alone
Lookin' forty but she's twentysix
Will blow you for a fix
Lying bleedin' on the bathroom floor
Headin' for the final score
You bore me!
You fucking bore me!
Yeah you bore me!
Yeah you're boring and you're not alone
You bore me!
You fucking bore me!
Yeah you bore me!
Yeah you're boring
Tab
Way too late to set things straight
Push too hard by keeping me waiting
Going down, no way up
No use in telling you've been fucked
Slowmotion shadows, noone around
Silence ringing with another sound
I got city's burning in my head
My mind ghouls wanna get fed
TAB - kinda makes you freak
Fucks up the way you speak
Creepy crawling sneak
Upon you - drives you to a peak
Way too late to set things straight
Push too hard by keeping me waiting
Going down, no way up
No use in telling you've been fucked
TAB - kinda makes you freak
Fucks up the way you speak
Creepy crawling sneak
Upon you - drives you to a peak
How Could I Care
How could I care about getting a day job
How could I care about having a plan
If you get hit by a car you won't make it far
So I'm just playin' in a rock'n'roll band
How could I care about what's goin' down here
How could I care about what's on the news
How could I care about bein' among and take a stand
For all I care I'm just bein' used yeah!
How could I care about my own country
How could I care about what's yours or mine
How could I care about fuckin' politics
When all I want is just a bottle of wine
I don't care 'cuz I know it doesn't mean a thing
Keep comin' back
Always ready for attack
Yes I'm aware ... but tell me
How could I care?
How could I care about showing feelings
How could I care about responding to yours
How could I care about damn psychology
When I can walk right thru' this door
How could I care about bein' hostile
How could I care about makin' friends
'Cuz when you turn around there's no-one to be found
So you're better off with none in the end
I don't care 'cuz I know it doesn't mean a thing
Keep comin' back
Always ready for attack
Yes I'm aware ... but tell me
How could I care?
How could I care?
Didn't Stop Us
They can't say what state we're in
They can't blame on what (song) we spin
'Cause it's fucked-up business scene
Where they want everything to be so clean yeah!
Well, I don't mind the pain
For the companies golden rain
'Cause we know how to do
And we don't care 'bout you!
Tick tack tick tack BOOM!
There's a bomb inside your room
And it's just about to explode in your face
By then we've won the go-go race
Well, I don't mind the pain
For the companies golden rain
'Cause we know how to do
And we don't care 'bout you!
They didn't stop us
They can't stop us
They didn't stop us
Never never never never never oh no
Oh yeah!
Well, I don't mind the pain
For the companies golden rain
'Cause we know how to do
And we don't care 'bout you!

Never never never never never oh no no no!

Fake Baby
You're pushin' your luck
You wanna come on thru'
You're pushin' it too hard
You don't know what to do
You wanna get around
You're gonna fuck it all up
You walk on dangerous ground
With the meat in your mouth
For everyone to see
But hey you ain't foolin' me
You're caught in a trap
I know you just can't take it (you just think you're good)
Caught up so bad
Well did you think you could fake it (you're just a fake)
Well all you wanna be

Ain't No Time
I'm mad - conveniently sad
By things I want and never had
And I'm pushin' but not too hard
This one-way ticket will get me quite far yeah
Further into chaos with a one-track mind
I try to find myself girl but I'm just too hard to find
But I know - gotta go
Haven't got the information but there's one thing I know
Gotta go - gotta show those damn fuckers that I ain't no fool
There ain't no time to stop and look back
I ain't got time - I rather attack
I'm in deep shit baby but I'm takin' the piss
I tell ya' there just ain't no time (ain't no time)
There's no reason for me to choose
Eightball livin' got nothin' to lose
Bloodshot eyes and my head's in a rush
It's a gin-and-tonic happiness I'm sonically crushed
Fucked up shot down but I'm feeling alright
Feelin' fine it's gonna be my way tonight
My hands are shakin' from the coffee I had an hour ago
All shook up from that goddamn snow (ahh)
Gotta go - gotta show those damn fuckers that I ain't no fool
There ain't no time to stop and look back
I ain't got time - I rather attack
I'm in deep shit baby but I'm takin' the piss
I tell ya' there just ain't no time (ain't no time)
There ain't no time to stop and look back
I ain't got time - I rather attack
I'm in deep shit baby but I'm takin' the piss
I tell ya' there just ain't no time (no time)
Ain't no time
I ain't got time

Ain't no time
Such A Blast
Can't stay out, I gotta get in
Into my car an' go for a spin
Oh man it just feels so great
To drive that good ol' V8 yeah!
I crank up the music on the radio
An' I don't care for nuthin' else
I got a need to drive so fast
I just hope it lasts ... and it's such a blast!
Can't stay here, gotta get in gear
Get my ass a long way from here
I really haven't got much to lose
So it's not at all hard to choose
I crank up the music on the radio
An' I don't care for nuthin' else
I got a need to drive so fast
I just hope it lasts ... and it's such a blast!
Such a blast baby!
Can't stay inside, I know I should
Get some action under the hood
I'll go 200 miles an hour
With my 300 horsepower
I crank up the music on the radio
An' I don't care for nuthin' else
I got a need to drive so fast
I just hope it lasts ... and it's such a blast!
And it's such a blast!
Yeah it's such a blast!
Yeah it's such a blast!

Payin´ The Dues
You Are Nothin´
You are nothin´
I´m for real
You see I´m rockin´
`Cuz the devil´s got a deal
Ain´t got no time left
But I´ve got Shiva on my right
You´re in deep shit baby
While I´m in the limelight
Action rockin´ man born & bred
And I´ve got asteroids bouncin´ round in my head
We´re talkin´ clichés baby I know it´s true
You just can´t stand I´m not one bit like you
I keep on runnin´
You´re standin´ still
Yeah I move my ass
To get kicks & dirt cheap thrills
Your lips are movin´
But I can´t hear you say
Yeah you hit the ditch
And I hit the highway
Like No Other Man
Since I left I´ve been gone so long & I can´t turn back
I don´t miss what I never had or what I lack
Hard to hit a shot from the hip hot steamin´ lead
I´m thru´ getting fucked and giving head
Hellbound - gimme one more round
I can take a stand - you know I´m damned
Like no other man
I´m tired so sick & tired of breakin´ down
Won´t be no one here to greet you when you come around
Crossroads alleys and empty streets
Burn my feet on the glow runnin´ from the heat
Can´t turn around
Burned my bridges down
Road of empty cans
Lost in a devil´s dance
Can´t find no rest keep on goin´ and set my pace
Ain´t no such thing called home there ain´t no such place
I won´t come around won´t come around no more
You know as well as I the whole thing´s a bore
Looking At Me
Do you know what to do
When the world come crashin´
Down at your chances
When it´s fallin´ apart
Do you know what to do
Well are you gonna cry
And moan about what´s turned sour
It´s all about you in the end
So go get a clue
Now is right now
Tomorrow will never be
I´m givin´ you insight now
So get a life and stop
Looking at me
And figure out what to do
And what the scheme and the plan is
When sweet today get sour tomorrow
Will you pull it thru´
Riot On The Rocks
Here I go now
I´m on the prowl
For plugged in - psyched out -
Fuel injected action
Gonna hit the lights now
You gotta hear me growl
Burnin´ rubber - total satisfaction
I´m a live wire yeah ok
Go ahead punk make my day
Look I don´t beat clocks
It´s a riot on the rocks
Gotta get some kicks now
Gas I devour
Rockin´ & rollin´ over
I´m the main attraction
Alright - ok - right now - oh yeah!
Hey!
You say you wanna help me out
But you just fill my head with doubt
I got my own reality and it
Sure ain´t virtual
It´s my highway
And I choose my lane
And I control the cruise
Yeah I got feelings but bet your ass
They´re not mutual
So what gives what will you do
All them things you feel
You have to prove
Like what´s the big deal
And what´s so god damn crucial
Soulseller
Look out now when I come your way
I´m a dog & I´m astray
I´ve been taught but I won´t learn
Been out of luck but baby it will turn
So I sold my soul again
I can´t turn back ´cuz its the place
I put my damn self in
And I will sell my soul to you
What I need has long been overdue
Blast my way with raging speed
Beelzebub gimme what I need
Don´t wanna wait to what comes around
Gotta hear it now I gotta grab that sound
I call it gold some call it vile
But to place my bets on consolation prices
Just ain´t my style
I´ve gotta get sixsixsix I´ve gotta go
Won´t you burn with me when I make that show
Soulseller - got a sale for you
Where The Action Is
Gotta get us some action
Dial zero - eight
Tired of bein´ a nomad
We wanna stay up late
Runnin´ down the subway
That´s what we´re gonna do
Hubert hook us up we´re short on cash
But we´ll make it up to you
´Cuz we´re there - where the action is
Times I want is times like this
We´re there where the action is
Getting away with no asses kissed
Getting high on the action bliss
We´re there where the action is
It´s a riot you can´t miss
Bein´ there where the action is
Going blind with the robots
And all the kids are sick
Getting rowdy by the fireside
With Lucifer and all his chicks
Helldorado is the place to hang
Same old song but it can´t go wrong
It´s just city slang
Four in the morning
But we dont give a fuck
Get the dice rollin´
First man to hundred damn I need some luck
Entombed in the backyard
Baby´s gotta cough up phlegm
Second class intoxication
And 45 rpm
Twist Action
Come on little baby got me in a trance
We´re both tough so let´s just skip the dance
You´re lookin´ good and I really wanna be with you
Twist action will be good enough
I need a dose of that righteous stuff
I need a little lovin´ but fast so baby come on thru´
Gotta get some time with you alone
Grab on to somethin´ I call my own
Ain´t got too much time to spare
Come on do the twist action now or I´ll be outta here
Pretty little girl gotta rock´n´ roll
To get your hand into my pocket is my only goal
The only thing guaranteed is your satisfaction
I got a stiff proposition baby clench your fist
I´m on a mission to make you twist
Go baby driver gotta get twist action
Colapso Nervioso
Your family´s rich and you feelin´ poor
Conscious like a nerve long gone sore
In a world of margueritas and computer games
Guess it´s enough to put you in shame
Doin´ very bad feelin´ really ill
Blowin´ doctors for sleepin´ pills
So you wanna die don´t care who lives
Scratchin´ your crotch wondering what gives
Damn feels dirt cheap
How do you stand to be yourself
Right see right through you creep
Gonna push you off the shelf
Trade a sixpack for a switchblade - slit your wrist
Shakin´ with the fever of the screamin´ bloody twist
Scared to see - cut it out
We´ll all do better once you´re dead and gone
Yeah so you took a stand
But you don´t know what about
Stop now or carry on
Cut it off or cut it out
Psyched Out & Furious
I´ve been lost but I know who to turn to
At any cost even if it means I´m gonna burn too
There ain´t no reason for me to be left out
Listen to me son there are things that I can do without
I´ve gone astray I´ve been waitin´ for this day to come
Gone away already out there baby too far gone
There ain´t no reason for me to be left out
You better listen up now honey to what I´m gonna blast out
I´ve gone psyched out & furious
I´m comin´ right on thru´ I´ve gone psyched out & furious
I´m on the road and the flames are getting higher now
Carryin´ a load so heavy it got me wired now
I´m on a chicken race with Satan got a feelin´ that I´m gonna win
Be my backseat driver I´m takin´ over seven deadly sins
Disappointment Blues
Long Gone Losers
Hey wait up
Would you mind steppin´ in here
Sure now what seems to be the problem dear
I just wanna get down and take a look at your ass
Well here you go, do you think it´s pretty
He goes "Don´t be so cocky, I´m just doin´ my job"
Well your job´s fucked up
Don´t say you´re sorry ´bout it Bob
You´re enjoying every second and you´re not the only one
And it makes me feel real shitty
You got them long gone losers everywhere
You got them long gone losers
Down by the corner there´s a well dressed man
"Don´t worry ´bout it kid, I will help you if I can"
But I know ´bout their schemes and I know ´bout their plans
You got ´em runnin´ ´round in this city
They´re all around me always been
Keep on knocking sayin´ let me in
They´re all around
You got them fucked up losers again and again
They´ve been ´round since Bob knows when
I know ´bout their schemes and I know ´bout their plans
They´re all around to make us feel real shitty
Freeway To Hell
I´m the stray dog, I´m the hunchback
I´m the freak across the street from you
Like a roach on my ceiling
Watching everything I do
Don´t you tell me or even care
I´m glad if you don´t give a damn
I can do without your paranoia
And your opinions about who I am
About the way I wear my clothes
About the way I wear my hair
About the way I smoke my dope
About things that I just don´t care
I´ve been lost I´ve been weary
I´ve been skull and crossbone blue
Getting outta here yeah I´m leaving
I won´t be no steppin´stone for you
Hitch a ride, run if I have to
Down a freeway of flames
Into the dark by the crossroads
I´ve paid my dues, I won´t take the blame
Headin´down the crossroad
I´m gettin´ out of here
And I don´t even care
Outside of society
Speedfreak (Kilmister/Clarke/Taylor)
Got to hurry, got to hurry
I don´t believe you worry
Take it back, take it back

Don´t want no sleep

Gonna be the first and last
Shoot ya´ down, shoot ya´ down

No regrets, no regrets
You can´t afford ´em yet
Comin´ down, comin´ down
Over, under, sideways, round
Up for a week
Playin´ Hide and Seek
Cos I´m a speedfreak, everlasting speedfreak
Disappointment Blues
Got shit when I wanted much
I want you but you´re so out of touch
Want new but all I see is ancient
I am so eager when I should be patient
Shook up when I wanna get down
I wanna fly but I just hit the ground
Alright already I´ve had enough them
Options lie before me but I can´t get ´em up
I got a lot but is it what I wanted
What was lookin´ good turn out to disappoint me
I make turns when I wanna head straight
I´m all done by the time it´s too late
I´m in love and I want something to do
But when I do I take things out on you
I got worry, I got nothin´ to say
I wanted action but all I did was just to throw it away
This is not what I wanted
Ain´t what I wanted to do
Destination let down
Now I got the disappoinment blues
Ferrytale
Dressed in green, lookin´ mean,
Working for the government machine
Sad bastards, actin´ tough
Shut your mouth with them handcuffs
Move your ass you bleedin´ punk
I move my ass when I want and I was just a bit drunk
C´ mon, don´t you dare lock us up
Cuz when my time is done
I will tell you to shut up
Don´t tell me what I can & cannot do
Here I am and this how I live
But I ain´t takin´ no more than I give
Stand by your woman stand by your man
I stand by my woman with a gun in my hand
No I won´t stand there baby and take that shit
They had it comin´ honey and you know it
And the fire has been lit
455 SD (D. TEK)

Grande Rock
Action De Grace
Can you feel it
Pumpin´ down like heavy love
Can you feel it
Getting down to rise above
The rhythm gets you higher
Than the mountain tops
And everybody´s ready
For the pressure drop
Motion to set it straight
So long since it was too late
Can you feel it
Alright Already Now
Spare me - I don´t need your yappin´
I got directions thrown at me
Like I was in need of clues
All nite long - all day, night,
Noon, morning same old song
Comes on strong - never ending
Bitching my nerves gone twitching
Come around wanna cook my goose
It´s runnin´over and I´m well worth a deuce
Fresh out of patience and I´m getting real bored
Bet your ass I´ve heard it before
I hear you - but baby you don´t move me
I´ve got enough of your predictions
And I just don´t care what to do
Move Right Out Of Here
Passers by coincide with me
Steppin´ out to cross my line
Feelin´ sick - feel like shit
But I always say I´m fine
One stab in the back after another
I´ve had it up to my ears
One well aimed kick in their rear
And then I´m outta here
Are you ready - I´ve been ready
All my life all along
You bet I´m ready
Day by day night by nightmare
I´ve got my ass on the line
I´ve gotta get down get on out
Before I´m goin´blind
Are you ready - I´m ready
Won´t you come along
Bet your ass I´m ready
Gotta move right out of here
Welcome To Hell
I´ve seen you girl - I´ve seen you walkin´
´Round for a long long time
I´ve heard you girl - I´ve heard you talkin´
Tounge in cheek but it don´t rhyme
It´s time to move - it´s to shake those
Hips to a different beat
I got time to prove - today is dated
And obsolete
When mountains are too high
And their sides are to steep
And rivers run too deep
Offers like this don´t come cheap
And you got nothin´but your soul to sell
C´mon down and we will treat you well
Baby welcome to hell
I´ve been watchin´ you - I watched you
Droppin´out sweet torn and frayed
But nothing´s stoppin´ you - pillpoppin´ days
Are over if you come my way
Absolution girl - let it go and be
The ultimate star fucker star
Got the solution girl - let loose
And dance to a different guitar
The Electric Index Eel
Electric eyes keep track of what I´m doing
Extensive index files knows my way
Before I´m movin´
And get the picture developed
Before it´s taken
I´m disillusioned but they sure
Know my way ´round
They cast no shadow
Don´t make a sound
They´re ahead of time
It blows my mind
I´m tied up and it gets me down
I say cold hard facts - you say paranoia
You don´t have to react - they got device
To do for ´ya
They know the rhythm before it´s
Set in motion
I wanna talk to you
But I know we ain´t talkin´ alone
Feels like someone else
Is on the phone
Top secrecy
Is blowin´me
I´m tied up and it gets me down
Paul Stanley
Hound dogs they are fighting
In a room with a ten lock door
Waitin´ for the second sighting
Plastered to a wall in a store
They got dope they got high
But they never tell the reasons why
Come clean sis´ amphetamine
Has gone astray
Manhog takes a look in the mirror
Skins it up around 4:25
Still the picture´s not getting clearer
Walks away, rips the joint, take a dive
If you can´t cope you can hide
But they´ll never let you in on their side
Come clean sisters turpenteen
Have gone away
Come clean fade away the scene
Stay clean perpetuate all means
Electric dreams guitars quarantean
I´m gone away
The Devil Stole The Beat From The Lord
Got you concerned by some unconcious mistake
A bit blacker magic for that soulselling sake
Kinda caught you cold - a wicked twist on your fate
Could call it crucifixion or subdue to create
Got you fooled by a mass demand
Bragging ´bout fortunes you´re about to land
And your loudmouth got your conscious sore
But it feels so good when you scream for more
The devil stole the beat from the Lord
It´s time to set things straight
Bragging like a brat
That you got away
You´re goin´ down and you have to pay
Got you counting numbers and talking in tounges
Got your name in blood suck the air from your lungs
And they have you playin´ such devious games
Where no bets are even - the dealer´s always the same
Now your illusions they don´t seem so grand
What you call yours is just second hand
Never question what they want from you
Just get up and dance when they tell you to
It´s hard to smile
When you choke on your laughter
But the Lord works in mysterious ways
Without a hint or a clue
The devil stole the beat from the Lord
Do you got what it takes
Keep braggin´ like a brat
That you got away
Thought you´d last ´til the end
But you don´t have the means
The devil stole the beat from the Lord
And the melody sway
You´re goin´ down and you have to pay
Dogday Mornings
Past morning and I raise my head
Won´t turn on the lights, won´t get out of bed
Phone bugs me baby you´re not here
I wish I didn´t wake up
How I wish today was yesterday´s news
In my head I can´t get no trus
Friends seem like foes - creeps on the street
They´re always here to greet me
Dogday mornings
I open my eyes and they meet me
Dogday mornings always there to greet me
Been so long since the good times rolled
Police, thieves, hookers all outta control
Some get looked up some just gotta go
News days are-a-rising
But I don´t wanna know
Past sunrise and the drink´s gone sour
Wanna turn time back to the midnight hour
In my dreams you´re always here with me
But they always wake me up to greet me
Venus In Force
I saw her in lightning
She stood in the rain
Soaked and wet she was fighting
Got off her knees once again
She´s dragging me down
But I wanna keep her warm
Still is my coat enough shelter from the storm
I saw her in thunder
Beautiful electric and pale
I saw her go under
Where souls are always for sale
She´s getting down to get higher
Persistent she walks with bare feet
She walks thru´brimstone and fire
Think I`ll at the crossroad
Head for dead end street
5 vs. 7
Gone down and out feels like it´s sinkin´
With a sense of direction it comes tumblin´ down
The sky´s gone dark - the streets are stinkin´
And the howlin´ wind comes blowin´
Thru´ the neon towns
It´s sweepin´ over the land
The shit is aiming for the fan
No there ain´t no chosen few
It´s comin´ down by the minute
It´s sad but you´re in it too
You play along but can´t hide the pressure
Side by side with fools you´re feelin´like a king
You´re just a pawn moved around in a massive tester
But you play your part real well so you
Don´t feel a thing
Dead set like you had a reason
I could never walk your way
My soul be down for treason
No there ain´t no chosen few
It´s comin´ down by the minute
It´s sad but you´re in it too
Hearts gone black the sky is fallin´
Piling up outside the transplantion camp
Time´s up coyote´s calling
Debris being left as treasures
For the waiting tramp
The street´s a mess and the howlin´ wind
Blows hard - the hammer´s fallin´ again
Ain´t no jewels left in your crown
With a sense of direction
It comes tumblin´ down
Lonely
Poor little girl born to an modern world - lonely
Teenage angst ridden tried to make
Herself heard - lonely
From a one horse town to a burg twice the size
From being safe and sound to getting
Cramped in lie
It felt real easy so she started to snitch
But the bitchin´ came around threw her
Right down the ditch
Never imagined it could turn out so wrong - lonely
Nobody listens ´cuz the story´s too long - lonely
She tried to get by to her own little tune
Can´t shoot prozac with a neddle and a spoon
Fell flat on her face crawled on her hands
And her knees
Tried to make friends with her enemies
She think´s she´s got it
She´s got it way outta line
Now she´s got the attention
If only she weren´t so lonely
High Visibility
HOPELESS CASE OF A KID IN DENIAL
I´m in heavy I´m in deep
I look cool but inside I weep
I´m older but sure ain´t as wise
As I pretend to it´s mostly all lies
I´m a liar I´m a cheat
Sore loser can´t stand defeat
I say I´m right but I know I´m wrong
Just want my music when you´re playing your songs
I know it doesn´t show
But it´s time I let you know
Hopeless case of a kid in denial
Got my tongue firmly in cheek
Make up my mind just after I speak
I should do it but I don´t
I say I will but you just know I won´t
You like the "fabs" I dig "the Who"
You eat tikka I eat vindaloo
I only drink when I wanna forget
I won´t admit it but I do regret
I know it doesn´t show
But it´s time I let you know
Hopeless case of a kid in denial
I´m in deep I´m in real heavy
Can´t kick it even though I try
I feel sick but I don´t want you to heal me
I´m a hopeless case of a kid in denial
Yeah I´m a liar and I´m a cheat
Real sore loser can´t stand defeat
There ain´t a thing that´ll pass my rejection
Getting real close to denial perfection
I know it doesn´t show
But it´s time I let you know
Hopeless case of a kid in denial

SOMETIMES I DON'T KNOW
My minds I
Is looking out for number one
With reasoned rhyme
Gonna destroy and get the damage done
All or nothing want the whole nine yards
They call it safe but I will be on my guard
Dead set wanna get it gotta see the glow
But sometimes I don't know where to go
Hey there girl
You know it ain't the summer of love
Want the world
To know just what I'm thinking of
Flaming cities burning with the rock
Get kids numb by the state of shock
There ain' t no reason to get out or go down take a blow
But sometimes I don't know where to go
Who dares wins and survive
Fight Jihad against the jive
My minds I
Is looking out for number one
With reasoned rhyme
Gonna destroy and get the damage done
All or nothing want the whole nine yards
They call it safe but I will be on my guard
Dead set wanna get it gotta see the glow
But sometimes I don't know
Sometimes I don't know
Sometimes I don't know where to go
TOYS AND FLAVORS

THROW AWAY HEROES
Ten to one and then it's over
Executives are taking turns
Options lost in dirty water
Got a whole lot left to give but still you're burned
No one ever said it'd be easy
Got it made got to be the one
Feels so good but then it's gone
Throwaway heroes
Disposable smiles
Keep track of pats on your back
In all out style
Time to move replace the burden
Pass the gloves onto some other hands
Who's that dude I never heard of
Well he's left the building but he was the shit, he was the man
No one ever said it'd be easy
Got it made got to be the one
Feels so good but then it's gone
Throwaway heroes
Disposable smiles
Keep track of pats on your back
In all out style
Throwaway heroes
Expendable beats
From god to geek
Now someone else is in your seat
Throwaway heroes
Disposable smiles
Keep track of pats on your back
In all out style
Throwaway heroes
Expendable beats
From god to geek
Now someone else is in your seat
NO SONG UNHEARD
Lights are out in the street where I stand
It sure would be great to have a clock with no hands
Met a man said he was wise and in tune
Lazy Sundays turn to Mondays to soon
He said take my hand let us walk thru' that door
I said I walk with my feet and I've been thru' it before
The end is nigh son I said I suppose
If it is we must be pretty damn close
Ain't no stone unturned
No wiseguy's gonna put me down
Ain't no song unheard
But it laughs back at you now
And that might put you down
With bloodshot eyes he was letting me know
He said ten years from now I said a hundred ago
Don't you leave now I know you will fail
I said that's old news I'm sorry gotta bail
Ain't no stone unturned
No wiseguy's gonna put me down
Ain't no song unheard
But it laughs back at you now
And that might put you down
Lights are out in the street where I stand
It sure would be great to have a clock with no hands
Met a man said he was wise and in tune
Lazy Sundays turn to Mondays to soon
With bloodshot eyes he was letting me know
He said ten years from now I said a hundred ago
Don't you leave now I know you will fail
I said that's old news I'm sorry gotta bail
Ain't no stone unturned
No wiseguy's gonna put me down
Ain't no song unheard
But it laughs back at you now
Ain't no stone unturned
No wiseguy's gonna put me down
Ain' t no song unheard
But it laughs back at you now
Right back at you now
TRUCKLOADS OF NOTHIN´
No way to settle when you're sleeping with the devil
And you know they're gonna figure you out
They're gonna blow your cover it's one way or another
Bet you know just what I'm talking about
You've got nothing up your sleeve now
Ain't got no miracle card
You keep on running but the end is sure coming
And you know it's gonna batter you hard
You're on the way to the bargain bin now
Going nowhere fast heading nowhere at all
Used up loose ends hang by a thread
Yesterday's news and they're not even read
You'll land a truckload of nothin´ at all
You're in the eye but the storm is gonna die
Well I don't think you're covered up for the ride
You think you've made it but you're just backdated
And you're quickly running out of style
Well I'll see you on the way down
If I remember your name
You start shaking 'cause you can't stop faking
You were never really cut for the game
Time's up and you've lost the flavor
They're done chewing now they'll spit you out
Used up loose ends hang by a thread
Yesterday's news and they're not even read
You'll land a truckload of nothin´ at all
You're on the way to the bargain bin now
Going nowhere fast heading nowhere at all
Used up loose ends hang by a thread
Yesterday's news and they're not even read
You'll land a truckload of nothin´ at all
Used up loose ends hang by a thread
Yesterday's news just as good as dead
You'll land a truckload of nothin´ at all
A HEART WITHOUT HOME
Such a long while now
Since my highs dropped to lows
You know the sad part is
It's starting to show
That I ain't been quite myself now
For quite a long time
What looked like a thousand bucks
Now turned out a dime
It's getting cold babe
I've been shivering for days
Not exactly lost
But I have still to find my way
As folks did before me
I guess that I'll roam
But the further I stray now
I wish things weren't so
l've got a heart without home
I sure ain't getting wiser
But I feel I'm growing old
I'm stuck here and I'm freezing
I don't know what to know
Back to where I came from
Is where I need to go
What's claimed as logic
Strike me as absurd
Down right paranoid
Might even be the word
With no method to their madness
And heavy on a roll
It will take whole lotta hard work
And a little more soul
I've got a heart without home
I sure ain't getting wiser
But I feel I'm growing old
I'm stuck here and I'm freezing
I don't know what to know
Back to where I came from
Is where I need to go
NO ONE'S GONNA DO IT FOR YOU
Sure as time is a teacher
Confusion makes it so hard to tell
It's bound to be hard to be her
But it seems she's the best part of hell
Astray in myladys mansion
Lost in the chambers of her heart
Blown away beyond comprehension
A love lost to magic and art
You weep and dwell on our loss
Stand denied by the nails in the cross
And I for one you for two
Knows no one's gonna do it for you
Circle of salt in the candle light
Breaks softly in the breeze
The demons stayed back by the freezing night
Guilded dawn broke through with ease
You weep and dwell on our loss
Stand denied by the nails in the cross
And I for one you for two
Knows no one's gonna do it for you
You want it bad you want it oh so much
There are some things that you should know
Some things that someone like you just cannot touch
You weep and dwell on our loss
Stand denied by the nails in the cross
And I for one you for two
Knows no one's gonna do it for you
No one's gonna do it for you
No one's gonna do it for you
I WANNA TOUCH
She got me burning
Got a fever and I'm feeling beat
My blood's boiling in a place so special
Between my head and feet
I got my mind made up
But a part of me is about to bust
Sweet Mary my hand's getting hairy
You know I need you oh so much, yes
I wanna touch I wanna touch
I keep looking but a picture's not enough
I wanna touch
She got me reeling
I'm getting tipsy tossing in my bed
Been rolling down this road too long
Getting fed up with that worn out spread
I want the real sweet deal
No centerfold'll make me blush
Lucille! Got a lust I wanna kill
You know I need it oh so much, yes
I wanna touch I wanna touch
I keep looking but a picture' s not enough
I wanna touch
She got me shaking
But there's no room for moving in my bunk
I'm seeing double and my pants are in trouble
I'm tired of this right hand funk
I gotta wrap it up
I'm really falling into a rut
Please Jean! I'm strung up on ephedrine
I wanna I wanna yeah yes
I wanna touch I wanna touch
I keep looking but a picture' s not enough
I wanna touch
I wanna touch I wanna touch
I wanna touch I wanna touch
HURTIN´ TIME
You put the hurt on me babe
I put the hurt right back
That's a lot of hurt and we're heading
Down on a nowhere track
My eye for your eye
Your tooth for my tooth
Leaves the whole world blind without teeth
And baby that's the hurtin' truth
It's hurtin´ time
Well you know it´s
Hurtin´ time
I apologise now
And wait for you to respond
Will you say you're sorry
Or will the hurtin´ times keep going on
It's hurtin´ time
Well you know it's
Hurtin´ time
A blow for a blow the biter bit
Face right down in the hurtin´ grit
Hurtin´ time
You put the hurt on me babe
I put the hurt right back
That's a lot of hurt and we're heading
Down on a nowhere track
It´s hurtin´ time
Well you know it´s
Hurtin´ time
Hurtin´ time
Hurtin´ time
ENVIOUS
Out of time out of tune
Born sucking on a silver spoon
Trying hard for the best
You don't come close but I can stand the test
Here's a hint here's a clue
I'm the wolf in the movie 'bout you
So pull a knife but I stand on it's edge
l'm the allegiance the one that you pledge
You wanna rise to the occation
But there's nothing to prove
You'll be two steps back
While I'm on the move
And it makes you feel
Envious - You can try but you won't nail it down
Envious - You turn it up but it don't make no sound
Envious - It's good looking at the first glance
But you' re so envious - And you don't stand a chance
You got the axe but I got the licks
I´ve got the drugs but baby you've got the ticks
You're a word not worthy a mention
I'm the teacher and you've got detention
You wanna rise to the occation
But there's nothing to prove
You'll be two steps back
While I'm on the move
And it makes you feel
Envious - You can try but you won't nail it down
Envious - You turn it up but it don't make no sound
Envious - It's good looking at the first glance
But you' re so envious - And you don't stand a chance
You pale in comparison
But what can you do
I admit it I look better beside you
You will cry as I laugh
You're a boy and l'm a man a half
You'll always be the ugly nothing and I the sweet real
I feel no pity but I know how you feel
You wanna rise to the occation
But there's nothing to prove
You'll be two steps back
While I'm on the move
And it makes you feel
Envious - You can try but you won't nail it down
Envious - You turn it up but it don't make no sound
Envious - It's good looking at the first glance
But you' re so envious - And you don't stand a chance
NO DOGS
No I don't need no nations
No leaflets for a damn good cause
No reasons for me to hang around
No guidelines or no clever laws
I don't need no brochure
To tell me what I need to do
No priest or preacher
To realize that I love you
Up to my neck in reasons
Up to my neck in whys
I'm starting to choke on good advice
Going up shit creek river
Down kneedeep in stench
Don' t need no dogs to help me sense
No I don't need no fashion
No rags to show me elite looks
Don't need no interpretations
To guide me through the holy book
Don't need to be a member
Of no party or no secret lodge
Don't need to beg your pardon
For leaving or to get outta dodge
Up to my neck in reasons
Up to my neck in whys
I'm starting to choke on good advice
Going up shit creek river
Down kneedeep in stench
Don' t need no dogs to help me sense
No I don't need no vision
Or bets on what's the next big thing
No prophecies or crystal balls
Predicting what the future will bring
Up to my neck in reasons
Up to my neck in whys
I'm starting to choke on good advice
Going up shit creek river
Down kneedeep in stench
Don' t need no dogs to help me sense
By The Grace Of God
BY THE GRACE OF GOD
(Andersson / Håkansson)
HEY GIRL
YOU'LL LAND IT
YOU GOT SUPPLIES
IF THEY DEMAND IT
YOU GOT THE LOOKS
AND THE GLAMOUR
CUT BY THE CHISEL
AND BEAT BY THE HAMMER
THEY'RE NAIVE
SO THEY'LL BELIEVE IT
THEY WILL ACT LIKE DOGS
WHEN THEY RECIEVE IT
THROUGH THE DARKNESS
AND THE HAZE
A STRAIGHT AND NARROW
FALL FROM GRACE
THEY NEED - THEY YEARN
THEY LUST WITH CHEEKS UNTURNED
HANDS SHAKE AND HEADS WILL NOD
THEY GET BY BY THE GRACE OF GOD
HEY BOY
YOU UNDERSTAND
SAY YOUR PRAYERS
OR YOU'LL BE DAMNED
HE'S A WATCHER
AND A VOYER
BYSTANDER
AND DESTROYER
THEY NEED - THEY YEARN
THEY LUST WITH CHEEKS UNTURNED
HANDS SHAKE AND HEADS WILL NOD
THEY GET BY BY THE GRACE OF GOD
ALL NEW LOW
(Andersson)
LOOKIN' UP FROM A WAYSIDE DITCH NOW
LOOKIN' UP FROM YOUR PITCH BLACK HOLE IN THE GROUND
THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE LEFT FOR YOU TO GO
UNCHARTED TERRITORIES WILL UNFOLD
WHEN YOU GO
DOWN AN ALL NEW LOW AGAIN
DOWN AN ALL NEW LOW AGAIN
ALL NEW LOW AND YOU GO DOWN AGAIN
YOU KEEP ON PUSHIN' BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW NOW
IF THEY SEE FIT THEY'RE GONNA HIT YOU TO THE GROUND
KEEP HOPIN' BUT YOU'RE IN THE KNOW
THEY'VE GOT 'EM LINED UP AND YOU'LL COME TO BLOWS
WHEN YOU GO
DOWN AN ALL NEW LOW AGAIN
DOWN AN ALL NEW LOW AGAIN
ALL NEW LOW AND YOU GO DOWN AGAIN
LOOKIN' UP FROM A WAYSIDE DITCH NOW
LOOKIN' UP FROM YOUR PITCH BLACK HOLE IN THE GROUND
THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE LEFT FOR YOU TO GO
UNCHARTED TERRITORIES WILL UNFOLD
WHEN YOU GO
DOWN AN ALL NEW LOW AGAIN
DOWN AN ALL NEW LOW AGAIN
ALL NEW LOW AND YOU GO DOWN AGAIN
DOWN ON FREESTREET
(Andersson)
DOWN ON FREESTREET
BURIED SIX FEET DOWN
IN A ONE HORSE -
CAREFULLY LOCKED DOOR TOWN
WHERE NO ONE EVER COMES AROUND
THERE AIN'T NOTHING THERE TO BE FOUND
AN EYE FOR AN EYE POUND FOR POUND
BLOWN UP YET MINIMAL
BUILT UP BY CRIMINAL HANDS
TO THE REPUBLIC - IT'S SICK
FOR WHICH IT STANDS
THERE'S A MAN ON DESOLATION ROW
REAPING FRUITS THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS SOWN
AND A PRIME TIME APPEARENCE ON A TELEVISION SHOW
YOU KNOW THE SHEEP ARE RIDDEN WITH DISEASE
AND I'M DOWN ON BENDING KNEES
THE TUMOUR'S SPREADING OH SO FAST
THE REMEDY WILL NEVER LAST
THE DIE'S BEEN CAST AND THE DEADLINE'S PAST
THERE'S A CRYING BEHOLDER
BUT NO ONE TOLD HER WHY
JUST WRAPPED UP IN PLASTIC
CONVENIENTLY ELASTIC LIES
I GOT MY RADIO ON
IT'S PLAYING THAT SAME OLD STUPID SONG
OVER AND OVER FOR MUCH TOO LONG
I'VE GOT TO TURN THAT DAMN THING DOWN...
BETTER THAN YOU
(Andersson)
YOU'RE A KNIFE TO HIS GUN
WHEN YOU'RE BORED
HE'S OUT HAVING FUN
YOU'RE ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT
AND HE'S A STAR
YOU STRUGGLE WITH DO'S
AND WHO THE HELL YOU ARE
SO C'MON - C'MON YOU WANNA GET ON
IF YOU ONLY KNEW
YOU'RE A GIVER HE'S A GETTER
JUST ALITTLE BIT BETTER THAN YOU
HE'S A DOCTOR
YOU'RE A NURSE
HE'S GOT UNBOUNCED CHECKS
YOU GOT AN EMPTY PURSE
HE'S A HUNDRED AND TEN
WHEN YOU GOT A HUNCH
HE'S A FIVE STAR KING
AND YOU'RE OUT TO LUNCH
SO C'MON - C'MON YOU WANNA GET ON
IF YOU ONLY KNEW
YOU'RE A GIVER HE'S A GETTER
JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN YOU
HE'S PILING TROPHIES
YOU'RE ON THE HUNT
HE'S OF ROYAL DESCENT
YOU'RE A BONAFIDE RUNT
HE'S THE DON OF YOUR
HUMILIATION
WHILE YOU PAINT IT PINK
HE CRANKS BROWNSVILLE STATION
SO C'MON - C'MON YOU WANNA GET ON
CARRY ME HOME
(Andersson)
I WAS PARALYZED
AS I OPENED UP MY BLOODSHOT EYES
DO I REALLY WANNA KNOW
WHERE I'VE BEEN OR WHERE I'VE PUT MY NOSE
I'M IN A RUT
KEEP KICKING MYSELF IN THE NUTS
IN A STAIRWELL I SEEK
THE LAIR WHERE I STUCK MY DIRTY BEAK
SO I'M BACK AGAIN IT'S OK
WELL BE THAT AS IT MAY
OVER AND OVER AWAY
INTO THE FIRES UNKNOWN
INTO OBLIVEON THROUGH STICKS AND STONES
PICK UP THE PHONE - MY JACKS ARE ALL BLOWN
OH THESE NIGHTS OUT ALONE
COME CARRY ME HOME
A HABIT HARD TO BREAK
TAKE ME HOME GOOD LORD FOR HEAVENS SAKE
THE DOCTOR'S NOT IN
GOT NO CURE FOR THE MEDICINE
SO I'M BACK AGAIN IT'S OK
WELL BE THAT AS IT MAY
OVER AND OVER AWAY
INTO THE FIRES UNKNOWN
INTO OBLIVEON THROUGH STICKS AND STONES
PICK UP THE PHONE - LISTEN TO ME MOAN
OH THESE NIGHTS OUT ALONE
COME CARRY ME HOME
EVERYTIME I MAKE THE ROUND I TURN AROUND
I'M PUT UPON THE RACK
EVERYTIME I STAND UP I FALL FLAT ON MY FACE
AND BREAK MY BACK - TOMBSTONED AND CHICKENSHACKED
RAINY DAYS REVISITED
(Andersson)
EVER HAD A RENDEZVOUS WITH REASON
OR A PUNCH OUT WITH SENSE
I HAVE 'EM ALL THE TIME YOU KNOW IT AIN'T THE SEASON
THEY SAY I LOOK A LITTLE TENSE
IT DO GET WORSE LIKE A MERRY GO ROUND CURSE
WORSE THAN TALKING TO A WALL
REASON PUTS THE LIGHT OUT AND SENSE PULL THE PLUG
BROTHER RHYME JUST STUMBLES AND FALLS
SO YOU FEEL IT
JUST WRAP IT UP AND SEAL IT
AND DEAL WITH IT WHEN A RAINY DAY COMES ALONG
SO LET US COME TO A CONCLUSION
LET US ALL COME TO TERMS
WITH THE GREATER PROBLEMS AND THE FEWER SOLUTIONS
HOW WILL I EVER LEARN
I CAN GO AGAINST THE GRAIN OR EVEN MAKE A RACKET
PLAY ALONG OR I CAN TAKE A STAND
SURROUNDED BY MONKEYS I DOUBT I'LL EVER HACK IT
I CAN TRY TO TAKE OFF OR I CAN HOLD THEIR HANDS
SO YOU FEEL IT
JUST WRAP IT UP AND SEAL IT
AND DEAL WITH IT WHEN A RAINY DAY COMES ALONG
YOU BET THEM COME ALONG
ALWAYS COMES ALONG
SO YOU FEEL IT
JUST WRAP IT UP AND SEAL IT
AND DEAL WITH IT WHEN A RAINY DAY COMES ALONG
SO YOU FEEL IT
JUST WRAP IT UP AND SEAL IT
AND DEAL WITH IT WHEN A RAINY DAY COMES ALONG
IT'S GOOD BUT IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT
(Andersson)
I WANTED THE WOMEN
TO GO ROUND THE WORLD
GOT THE BOAT DOWN TO HELSINKI CITY
WITH BOYS WHO ACT LIKE LITTLE GIRLS
IT AIN'T QUITE WHAT I PICTURED
AIN'T QUITE WHAT I HAD IN MIND
I REALIZED THAT THE CLOSER I GOT
THAT CLOSE HAS THE TASTE OF REAL CHEAP WINE
CLEARLY - NEARLY
I OPEN MY EYES BUT ONLY SEE THINGS BARELY
I CAN SMELL IT BUT I DON'T GET HIGH
I KNOW IT'S GOOD BUT IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT
ENDED UP WITH A DONKEY
WHEN MY MIND WAS SET ON A HORSE
BARGAINED AND BEGGED FOR A PONY AND I RODE IT
WITH A FAKE SMILE ON ONLY WANTING MORE
I'VE HAD IT WITH JUST ABOUT RIGHT NOW
MODERATE WON'T GET ME NO FAR
BEEN THROUGH ALMOSTS, OKAYS, IN BETWEENS, NIGHS AND DECENTS
BUT CLOSE JUST AIN'T NO CIGAR
CLEARLY - NEARLY
IN THE CORNER OF MY EYE ONLY WORKS IN THEORY
I CAN SEE IT EVEN SHINES A LIGHT
I KNOW IT'S GOOD BUT IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT
CLEARLY - NEARLY
I OPEN MY EYES BUT ONLY SEE THINGS BARELY
I CAN SMELL IT BUT I DON'T GET HIGH
I KNOW IT'S GOOD BUT IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT
U.Y.F.S
(Lindström / Bärjed)
WELL, I GUESS I COULD HAVE WALKED AWAY
BUT SOMEHOW I JUST HAD TO STAY
BEEN DOWN THIS TRAIL SO MANY TIMES BEFORE
BUT NOW THERE`S NOTHING LEFT TO LEAVE ME ASTRAY
YEAH, I`M DONE WITH ALL OF THEM LIES
EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I THREW THAT DICE
NO SECOND CHANCE TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY
AS I WAS CAUGHT BY THOSE DECIEVING EYES
WE ALL GOT SOMETHING UP OUR SLEEVES
BUT (NOW ) I D0N`T KNOW WHAT TO HIDE
AS I RIDE ON MY OWN
WITH A BLINDFOLD DRIVING LATE AT NIGHT
IT`S HARD TO TELL THE WRONGS FROM RIGHTS
JUST CAN`T DANCE DOWN ON EASY STREET
WHEN YOU KNOW YOU CAN NOT WIN THIS FIGHT
WE ALL GOT SOMETHING UP OUR SLEEVES
BUT (NOW ) I D0N`T KNOW WHAT TO HIDE
AS I RIDE ON MY OWN
COZ I`VE GOT A BURNING FEELING
I DON`T WANNA LOOSE
YEAH, I GOT THIS HEALING NOTION
THAT I HAD TO CHOOSE
I`VE GOT A BURNING FEELING
AIN`T GONNA MAKE IT NO WORSE
WON`T BE NO KNEELING MOTION
TO SEAL THIS CURSE
SO. TIMES UP AND I`M ON MY WAY
ALL I`M LEAVING IS A TRAIL OF DECAY
I KNOW I`VE TURNED ALL TOO MANY STONES
BUT THEY ALL JUST LEFT ME OUT AND ASTRAY
WE ALL GOT SOMETHING UP OUR SLEEVES
BUT (NOW ) I D0N`T KNOW WHAT TO HIDE
AS I RIDE ON MY OWN
ON TIME
(Andersson)
ALWAYS GONNA BE HERE WITH YOU
TILL THE DAY THAT YOU DIE
WRAPPED UP IN AN INSTITUTION
ASKING ME WHY
I CAN BE AT SERVICE
BUT MOSTLY I JUST MAKE YOU NERVOUS
BUT YOU KNOW THAT I WOULD NEVER LIE
I'M DAY, NIGHT, RIGHT, SOME OR ANY
EXPENSIVE LUXURY
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOR ALL OR MANY
SCARS IN CHEAP HISTORY
I BREED ANTICIPATION
I DON'T DO NEGOTIATONS
AND I MIGHT EVEN DECIEVE
I'M ON MY WAY
AND I NEVER WAIT
I ALWAYS GET BY
I'M THE CONTRARY PICTURE
AND ON TIME
YOU'RE ALWAYS GONNA FACE ME
FOR SURE OR EVEN IN DOUBT
AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER YOU'LL DO YOUR BEST TO RACE ME
BUT YOU'RE NEVER GONNA CARRY IT OUT
ALWAY BEING PRESENT
I'M SENILE AND ADOLESCENT
YOU KNOW I'LL MAKE YOU WHIMPER AND SHOUT
I'M ON MY WAY
AND I NEVER WAIT
I ALWAYS GET BY
I'M THE CONTRARY PICTURE
AND ON TIME
ALL I'VE GOT
(Dahlqvist / Håkansson)
THROUGH DENIALS - AND STUPID TRIALS
I CAN'T HIDE BUT I CAN RUN FOR MILES
I KNOW IT'S VAIN - STRAIGHT UP INSANE
TO A DIFFERENT DRUM AGAINST THE GRAIN
IT'S NOTHING NEW
BUT I'LL GET THROUGH THIS TIME YEAH
WON'T - STOP - I'M GONNA GIVE IT ALL I GOT
IT DON'T SEEM RIGHT - THE MORE I FIGHT
I LOSE MY GROUND CAUSE I GET SO UPTIGHT
THE CASE I'M IN - I JUST CAN'T WIN
AS I GET BEAT UP AND MY HEAD GET KICKED IN
IT'S NOTHING NEW
BUT I'LL GET THROUGH THIS TIME YEAH
WON'T - STOP - I'M GONNA GIVE IT ALL I GOT
WON'T - STOP - I'M GONNA GIVE IT ALL I GOT
I'M HITTING LOW - AND WAY TOO SLOW
I NEED A CHANGE IN THIS SCENARIO
AS WAS BEFORE - STRAIGHT TO THE CORE
I'M SICK OF IT BUT STILL WANT MORE
IT'S NOTHING NEW
BUT I'LL GET THROUGH THIS TIME YEAH
WON'T - STOP - I'M GONNA GIVE IT ALL I GOT
WON'T - STOP - I'M GONNA GIVE IT ALL I GOT
I'M GONNA GIVE IT - GIVE IT - GIVE IT ALL IGOT
GONNA GIVE IT - GIVE IT - GIVE IT ONE MORE SHOT
I'M GONNA GIVE IT - GIVE IT - GIVE IT ALL IGOT
GO EASY NOW
(Andersson)
THE SHIP HAS SUNK AND HIT ROCK BOTTOM
WE PLAYED OUR PARTS NOT VERY WELL
SO IT HAS COME TO AN END
WE WANTED BLESSINGS AND WE GOT 'EM
BUT THERE'S NO SEQUEL
NO PART THREE FOR US TO ATTEND
SO CUT US SOME SLACK NOW WOULD YOU
WE CAN'T BE TAKING IT BACK SO COULD YOU
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN
IT'S GETTING CLOSE IT'S DRAWING NEARER
IT'S COMING DOWN HARD
BUT IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S A BIG SURPRISE
AND AS I LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR
IT'S TOO LATE
TO SAY I'M SORRY TO APOLOGIZE
SO CUT US SOME SLACK NOW WOULD YOU
WE CAN'T BE TAKING IT BACK SO COULD YOU
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN
TAKE ME DOWN TO MY MAKER
HANDS PUT TOGETHER AND ON BENDING KNEES
IS THERE A WAY THAT I CAN BREAK OR ALTER THIS LOW DOWN DEAL
SO CUT US SOME SLACK NOW WOULD YOU
WE CAN'T BE TAKING IT BACK SO COULD YOU
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN
EXORCIST
(Andersson)
IN THE NIGHT YOU FEEL
SOMEWHAT UNREAL
AND IT AIN'T FICTION
IT'S CATHING UP - WITH YOU
NOTHING YOU CAN DO - NO
AND THE HURT BEGINS
LEECHES ON YOUR SKIN
AS YOU'RE STANDING BY
THE SUN'S ECLIPSED BY A THOUSAND FLIES
IT'S TIME TO FALL - YOU'LL SEE
IT AIN'T NO MISERY
AND IT WILL NOT END
IT'S A FACT - AND IT'S COLD
JUST LIKE YOU'VE BEEN TOLD - SO
THE HURT BEGINS
LEECHES ON YOUR SKIN
AS YOU'RE STANDING BY
THE SUN'S ECLIPSED BY A THOUSAND FLIES
YOUR STOMACH TURNS
YOUR EYES THEY ITCH AND BURN
PRAY TO GOD GET THEM OFF OF ME
ALONE ON BLOODY BENDING KNEES
DESPITE THE FACT YOU SCREAM AND SHOUT
NO ONE REACTS OR CARES ABOUT
THEY SAY IT'S ALL JUST IN YOUR HEAD
IT'S PLAIN TO SEE YOUR LEFT FOR DEAD
IN THE NIGHT YOU FEEL
SOMEWHAT UNREAL
AND IT AIN'T FICTION
IT'S CATHING UP - WITH YOU
NOTHING YOU CAN DO - NO
PRIDE
(Andersson)
I KNOW WHERE I COME FROM
SANDS OF THE FATHERLAND
I'LL FACE ANY BATTLE
THOUGH I DON'T UNDERSTAND
I PLEDGE THE ALLEGIENCE
THE FLAG I WAVE TONIGHT
NOT ONLY AM I GRATEFUL
BUT IT'S ALSO WORTH A FIGHT
I'M TAKING SIDES
ON A SHAKY RIDE
AND YOU WANNA KNOW
WHAT'S THIS THING CALLED PRIDE
I READ THE BIBLE
EVEN THOUGH I MUST ADMIT
I NEED SOME GUIDING THROUGH IT
THE PARTS THAT I DON'T GET
I'M TAKING SIDES
ON A SHAKY RIDE
AND YOU WANNA KNOW
WHAT'S THIS THING CALLED PRIDE
I'M TAKING SIDES
ON A SHAKY RIDE
AND YOU WANNA KNOW
WHAT'S THIS THING CALLED PRIDE |
