Trashed (4:10)

It really was a meetingThe bottle took a beating

The ladies of the manor

Watched me climb into my car and I was

Going down the track about a hundred and fiveThey had the stopwatch rolling

I had the headlights blazing I was really alive

And yet my mind was blowing

I drank a bottle of tequila and I felt real good

But on the twenty-fifth lap at the canal turn

I went off exploring

I knew I wouldn't make it the car just wouldn't make it

I was turning the tires burning

The ground was in my skyI was laughing the bitch was trashed

And death was in my eye

I had started pretty good and I was feeling my way

I had the wheels in motion

There was Peter and the Greenfly laughing like drains

Inebriation

The crowd was roaring I was at Brands Hatch

In my imagination

But at the canal turn I hit an oily patchInebriation

Ooh Mr. Miracle, you saved me from some pain

I thank you Mr. Miracle, I won't get trashed again

Ooh, can you hear my liesDon't you bother with this fool just laugh into my eyes

So we went back to the bar and hit the bottle again

But there was no tequila

Then we started on the whiskey just to steady our brains'Cause there was no tequila

And as we drank a little faster at the top of our hill

We began to roll

And as we got trashed we were laughing still

Oh bless my soul

Stonehenge (1:57) Instrumental.

Disturbing the Priest (5:48)

Let's try getting to the sky, hang on or you're going to dieSour life can turn sweet, it's laying at your feet

Sweet child with an innocent smile watches closely all the while

Don't be fooled when he cries, keep looking at the eyes

Good life is contradiction because of the crucifixionIf you're ready and have the need, I will take your soul and plant my seed

You just gotta listen to the night at the ending of the dayYou just gotta listen to the night as safety slips away

Moving out of sight are the things you need to see to feel

And as they slip away becoming so unreal unreal

You just gotta listen to the night as you're going up the stairs

You just gotta listen to the night and don't forget to say your prayers

And as you lose control to the eyes in dark disguise

And icy fingers send electric liesWe're disturbing the priest, won't you please come to our feastDo we mind disturbing the priest, not at all, not at all, not in the least

Ahhhh, Do we mind disturbing the priest

Aahhhh, not at all, not at all, not in the least

The force of the devil is the darkness the priest has to face

The force of the night will destroy him but will not disgrace

To get into his mind and to his soul you gotta set alight

The flames of doubt so deep inside inside

The devil and the priest can't exist if one goes awayIt's just like the battle of the sun and the moon and night and day

The force of the devil, that's we're all told to fear

Watch out for religion when he gets too near too near

We're disturbing the priest, won't you please come to our feast

Do we mind disturbing the priest, not at all, not at all, not in the least

Good life is contradiction because of the crucifixion

If you're ready and have the need, I will take your soul and plant my seed

Aahhhh, ahhhh, ah ha ha ha haaa!Let's try getting to the sky, hang on or you're going to die

Sour life can turn sweet, it's laying at your feetSweet child with an innocent smile watches closely all the while

Don't be fooled when he cries, keep looking at the eyes

Oh, disturbing the priest!

The Dark (0:31) Instrumental.

Zero the Hero (7:45) Accept the fact that you're second rate, life is easy for you

It's all served up on a gold plated plate

And we don't even have to talk to you

Your face is normal, that's the way you're bred

And that's the way you're going to stayYour head is firmly nailed to your TV channel

But someone else's finger's on the control panel

What you gonna be, what you gonna be brother

Zero the Hero

Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother

Zero the Hero

When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother Zero the Hero

Impossibility impissibolity mother Really a Hero

You sit there watch it all burn down

It's easy and breezy for you

You play your life to a different sound

No edge no edge you got no knife have you

Your life is a six-lane highway to nowhereYou're going so fast you're never ever gonna get down there

Where the heroes sit by the river

With a magic in their music as they eat raw liver

What you gonna be, what you gonna be brother

Zero the Hero

Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother

Zero the Hero

When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother Zero the Hero

Impossibility impissibolity mother Really a Hero

You stand there captain we all look, you really are mediocre

You are the champion in the Acme form book

But I think you're just a joker

Your facedown life ain't so much of a pity

But the luv-a-duckin' way you're walkin' around the city

With your balls and your head full of nothing

It's easy for you sucker but you really need stuffingWhat you gonna be, what you gonna be brother

Zero the Hero

Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother Zero the Hero

When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother

Zero the Hero

Impossibility impissibolity mother

Really a Hero

Digital Bitch (3:35) She wears her leather just to satisfy

She really throws it around

There ain't one thing she can't afford to buyShe's the richest bitch in town

Her big fat daddy was a money machine

He made a fortune from computersShe's got more money than I've ever seen

But she's a greedy emotional looter

Keep away from the digital bitch

Keep away from the digital bitch

Keep away from the digital bitchShe's so rich, the digital bitch

She's got five rollers and a fine estate

A big house up on the hill

She throws parties just to celebrate

Her life is just one enormous thrill

She buys poor people just to have around

She has a trophy for each lover

The bitch is rich but baby pound for poundShe's got a lot more to discover

Maybe she could please me if I saw beneath her veilBut she's just an imitation woman up for sale

She got so famous that she's on TV

She's got a professional smile

But I switch over 'cos she ain't for me

She disturbs me all the while

She looks so happy but she's got it wrongShe's always going faster

She sings her life to such a different song

She needs a loving and dominant master

Born Again (6:30) As you look through my window

Deep into my room

At the tapestries all faded

Their vague and distant glories

Concealed in the gloom

The icy fingers of forgotten passions

Softly brushing my lips

At the tips of my primitive soulAs you look through my door

Deep into my room

Can you feel the mighty wall of power

It's waiting, waiting in the gloom

The distant shadows of forgotten champions

Those who live in me still

And will rise when we challenge and kill

Born againYou'll be born again

Look at this prince of evil

Fighting for your mind

Fighting all the priests of shame

For the thrust of my challenge is aimed

At the hearts of mutant gods

who think we're all the same

They're controlling our minds

And they use us for fortune and fame

As you look through my windowDeep into my room

At your future and freedom

The grey and plastic retards all floating in circlesAnd as you taste the fruits of new sensations

Softly brushing your lips

As we rise when we challenge and kill

Born again

You'll be born againIf you want to be king for a day

Just do what I say

Everybody's got to think like a hunter

8/14/2019 11 Born Again © 1983


Just search for your prey

Be alive through the night and the day

Just do it my way

Hot Line (4:50) Take me to the river baby drink my wine

When I'm going down won't you throw me a lineLead me to religion take me up them stairsWhen I take a tumble will you say me some prayers

When will you show me a sign

When will you throw me a line

Help me to the answer baby set me free

I'm torn between the devil and the deep blue sea

Maybe if you wanted you could save my face

Keep me out of trouble and I'm a living disgrace

Show me to a sucker and you'll see my nameStanding in a line with the shadows of fame

Lead me to a legend take me up them stairsWhen I take a tumble will you say me some prayers

Keep it Warm (5:34) Sweet woman are you feeling right

What was it that you did last night

You made me crazy you made me fly

I can't forget the hungry look in your eye

Ooh what's the matter with me

I'm justa runner I was born free

But since I met you I can't leave you alone

I'm leaving now but I'll be coming homeKeep it warm at the place by your side

Nobody's gonna take away our magical ride

Keep it warm for me when we talk on the phone

Don't forget will you pretty one that your man is coming home

D'you hear the rumor that is going around

Say I'm ruined 'cos I'm settled down

It's not true well maybe half and half

You know I love you but I still like a laughOoh I'm feeling fine I got it right for the first time

Sweet woman I can't stay for long, but every one will be proved wrongI'm like a gypsy, I need to roam, but don't worry I'll be coming home

I need the danger I need the thrill

I need to know what is over each hill

Ooh I'm a different man I'm still running but you understand

Since I met you I can't leave you alone

I'm leaving now but I'll be coming home
