LAY ME DOWNLAY ME DOWNLAY ME DOWNLAY ME DOWNLAY ME DOWN(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson)

She lay me downI said it’s a sin

Started to pray while she did her thingShe had to moveHad to curse me

It’s coming firstlyI ain’t complaining

UnderstandBut she did it underhand

I ain’t religiousOr dogmatic

But it don’t happen automatic

She don’t believeIn getting paid

Specially when she’s getting laidShe whacked it in

She whacked it outShe took my love and threw it about

Gets niceI knew it would

I shouldn’t feel so goodShe kicks her feetAnd wage her tail

She rolls her eyes and starts to wail

YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO GOODYOU MAKE ME FEEL SO GOODYOU MAKE ME FEEL SO GOODYOU MAKE ME FEEL SO GOODYOU MAKE ME FEEL SO GOOD(Gillan, Moran, Wintour, Holland, Steele)(Gillan, Moran, Wintour, Holland, Steele)(Gillan, Moran, Wintour, Holland, Steele)(Gillan, Moran, Wintour, Holland, Steele)(Gillan, Moran, Wintour, Holland, Steele)I want to make you feel as if you want to let

Me make tonightMy head is saying yes my body tells me

That it would be so niceNobody gonna know about the things we’re gonna do

Oh baby I need you

When you are moving slow as if you want to showMe all your delights

It make me shiver I get that burningWe got to make it tonight

Nobody gives a damn about the thing we’re gonna doOh baby I need you

I feel a thrill each time I touch your bodyThe pain it hurts me so

You’re gonna feel the rush of love about the stroke of nineOh baby I feel fine

You make feel so good

SHAMESHAMESHAMESHAMESHAME(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson)

Take to the preacherTake me to your god

You got me thinking like youAnd you’re thinking like a dog

Shame

You tell me we live for dyingYou say the soul is everlasting

But you’re living like a dead manAnd time is surely passing

Shame

Eye of toad and leg of goat to help you see soMilk a bull and kick your burn well if you say so

It’s a mess up your ego

There is no god in heavenI know it’s true for sure

The fire gods that wrote the bibleShould come back and teach us more

Shame

MY BABY LOVES MEMY BABY LOVES MEMY BABY LOVES MEMY BABY LOVES MEMY BABY LOVES ME(Gillan/Glover/Fenwick/Nauseef)(Gillan/Glover/Fenwick/Nauseef)(Gillan/Glover/Fenwick/Nauseef)(Gillan/Glover/Fenwick/Nauseef)(Gillan/Glover/Fenwick/Nauseef)

My baby loves meNever does me wrong

Every time I’m feeling down she’s on the telephoneTo say she loves me

She loves like a womanTeases like a child

Turns me on so badly that it really drives me wildMy baby loves me

And she don’t care how

My baby loves meDances really slow

She’s an entertainer and she really likes to showHow much she loves me

She always move so goodShe’s sliding like a cat

Everybody wants her but she’s mine and that is thatMy baby loves me

And she don’t care how

My baby loves meAlways treat me right

Even when I’m gone I know she loves me day and nightMy baby loves me

I give her all my moneyNow you understand

Why everywhere we go you see us walking hand in handMy baby loves me

And she don’t care how

CLEAR AIR TURBULENCECLEAR AIR TURBULENCECLEAR AIR TURBULENCECLEAR AIR TURBULENCECLEAR AIR TURBULENCE(Ian Gillan Band)(Ian Gillan Band)(Ian Gillan Band)(Ian Gillan Band)(Ian Gillan Band)

Get upGet right upGet it upUp in the skyWhite knuckles and blank staring facesGet a leg up head for them spaces

PanicAnd confusionElectric voicesCreating morbid delusionsWhite knuckles and blank staring faces

Get a leg up head for them spaces

Ten thousandAstral explorersHead for the lightsAce cosmic toursCaught up in slow racesMotionless jets in turbulent spaces

Smooth blue skyFeeling highTurn back the pagePeaceful as a bygone ageChariot to the sunSafe as a gunGet in to Duluth

I've got itNow I'm learningA million soulsHelplessly returningTo blue dawn before the beginningAncient bells are ringing

FIVE MOONSFIVE MOONSFIVE MOONSFIVE MOONSFIVE MOONS(Ian Gillan Band)(Ian Gillan Band)(Ian Gillan Band)(Ian Gillan Band)(Ian Gillan Band)Skies going through another changeBright yellow skies looking so strangeWe're never going homeA million souls alone withFive moons in the sky

Maybe we can have another chanceStarting again, a new circumstanceWe've got some air to breatheAnd no desire to leaveFive moons in the sky

I don't lie to my peopleI don't pray for their sins

We've gone away, we've gone awayWe're going to live another wayGive me green fieldsLaughing and then maybe

Skies going through another changeTo our surprise it's starting to rainThe clouds begin to cryAnd we can only seeFour moons in the sky

I don't cry in the summer rainIt don't show anyway

DOWN THE ROADDOWN THE ROADDOWN THE ROADDOWN THE ROADDOWN THE ROAD(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson/Glover)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson/Glover)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson/Glover)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson/Glover)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson/Glover)

Time don’t stand stillDon’t hang around for the killI’ve been too long on the hill

Get on down I’ll meet you down the road

We had our dreamsWe made our plans and our schemesBut now we know what love means

Get on down I’ll meet you down the road

Your fire must burnWe made our plans and our schemesBut now we know what love means

Get on down I’ll meet you down the road

Your fire must burnAnd all too soon you will learn

That love has no returnGet on down I’ll meet you down the road

CHILD IN TIMECHILD IN TIMECHILD IN TIMECHILD IN TIMECHILD IN TIME(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)

Sweet childIn time you’ll see the line

The line that’s drawn betweenGood and bad

See the blind manShooting at the world

Bullets flyingTaking toll

If you’ve been badAnd I bet that you haveAnd you’ve not been hit

By flying lead

You’d better close your eyesYou’d better bow your head

Wait for the ricochet

LET IT SLIDELET IT SLIDELET IT SLIDELET IT SLIDELET IT SLIDE(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson/Moran)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson/Moran)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson/Moran)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson/Moran)(Gillan/Fenwick/Nauseef/Gustafson/Moran)

Feel me rushing through youJust another sixty second ride

Help me stay longerMake me stronger and stem the tide

Let it slide

I know I leave you achingAnd it's worse a second time

Give a little understandingTake me in your hands and hear me cry

I must be dreamingFeel so good now we can fly

Now we good timingAnd we got the motion just let it slide

Let it slide

A city growing in the yellow skyPutting out smoke making me cryThey're cutting down the treesNow I can only seeThree moons in the sky

I don't lie to my ladyI don't lie to my woman

Grey mothers of a broken childCome to my breast come to my armsIt's gonna rain tonightWe're gonna be alright withOne moon in the sky

There is a good old boy in the valleyOn the other side of the hillThere is a good old man in the canyonOn the other side of the hillIt took a thousand years to rememberAnother thousand years to forgetThe coming of the MessiahThe most famous preacher yet

There is an easy way to the green fieldWhere the air blows warm and clearThere is an easy route to the meadowWhere there is no hate there is no fearYou've got to get down under the waterOr throw yourself in the roadAnd if you're lucky you won't hit the fireYou can settle down your load

Watch the pieces fit togetherThat's the way we areYou are the hero I am a cowardYou will be the starIf I tell you how to fightYou can easy winMan is here to fight mankindMan is here to sin

Will you take a little share of my hungerI'm sure you'll patronise a starving manOr will you take a little piece of the famineIn a far off Eastern landNo I don't show no respect for your feelingsI don't give a shit for your smileWhen there's a good old boy in the valleyGot religion twentieth century style

SCARABUSSCARABUSSCARABUSSCARABUSSCARABUSLet’s try Scarabus pieLeg of dog and lizard’s eyeCome in to the wizard’s lairBreath of goat and dead man’s hairWhat do you want to beI’m the king of sorceryIf you care to serve me trueI’ll make some gold for you.

Bye, bye enemies fiveOnly four will stay aliveCome to me if you dareFirst the three and then the pair.Here is thunder here is pairLive as creatures in the rainTwo toads and one a mouseGo forever from this house

When I am dreaming leave me aloneThis is more than living... leave me

Let’s try Scarabus pieLeg of dog and lizard’s eyeCome in to the wizard’s lairBreath of goat and dead man’s hairOf the two I hate the worstOne’s undead forever cursedThe last is turned to stoneSet before my magic throne.

TWIN EXHAUSTEDTWIN EXHAUSTEDTWIN EXHAUSTEDTWIN EXHAUSTEDTWIN EXHAUSTEDI like a Studebaker widowmakerSitting on the highway crownWhen it’s early in the morning

I can put my foot right downAnd if the wheels keep spinningBaby I’ll be winningI’ll be really alive when a drive’s beginning

I’ve got a Buick that can do itWith a wide seat in the rearWith a woman on my arm and

A cold six pack of beerAnd if the wheels keep turningI’ll be yearning I’ll be bombing awayWith the back tyres burning

I’m twin exhausted seeMy second wife is tired of meBut when she gets off my backI’ll be back to the trackWheeling free

Barracuda you are ruder thanA long legged bitch I knowWith my hands on your stick

I can feel your body letting goAnd I’m always dreamingAbout the back tyres screamingDown with the toes and away she goes.

SCARABUSSCARABUSSCARABUSSCARABUSSCARABUS

POOR BOY HEROPOOR BOY HEROPOOR BOY HEROPOOR BOY HEROPOOR BOY HERORockin’ to the poor boy he’ll be my kingReally got to shiver when he singsHe is the image of my fantasizingNow we got the whole world listeningHe will be the biggest thing in historyCause he’s doing the same thing

but so differentlyGot to hear the poor boy hero sing.

Now we got a genius the people criedWhen he moved a finger we sighedAnd then we squeezed him till broke insideWhen he went to Vegas the music diedHe is still the biggest thing in historyNow he’s doing the same thing so differentlyGot to hear the poor boy hero sing

Living in a fantasyLive that poor boy tenderlyNow he’s gone so tragicallyGive that poor boy back to meHere of the centuryLove that poor boy tenderly

Now we take it easy on the soulIf it isn’t magic it leaves me coldIt’s only magic if it’s fresh and boldIt’s nothing if it’s easy on the soulYou can be the biggest thing in historyIf you’re doing the same thing do it differentlyYou could be a poor boy hero too.

MERCURY HIGHMERCURY HIGHMERCURY HIGHMERCURY HIGHMERCURY HIGHMaybe I can see at nightMaybe I can touch the skyA few feet above the groundA few more with every boundGot to get higher, got to get higherNo�one can see me tryingDreaming of flying

I’m going to find my lifeIn the light of the nightI’m going to dream my dreamWhen you’re all out of sightThen I can be who I wantI can fly in the skyReally feel a mercury high

Running thru’ a crowded streetFaster than a lightning streakWith each step the night is brighterWith each step I’m feeling lighterGot to get higher, got to get higherNo�one can see me tryingDreaming of flying

I run � I fly � I reach the skyMy feet � have wings

Now it’s easy watch me flyWheeling in the open skyA few feet above the crowdA few miles above the cloudGot to get higher, got to get higherEveryone see my flyingFlying

And now I am your tangled slaveCommand me from your lonelygraveYou make it easy so completelyWhen you’re with meTake me back a hundred yearsLet me kiss your dying tearsYou can have peace I can release youLiving will cease and the undead willhave peace

Years of wonder passingBurning in my brain

Take me down beneath your hillTake me where the air is stillIf I’m with you then I can chooseA life for me too undead like youDeep inside your new disguiseBurning colours in my eyesWe can be free if we can seeWhat shall we be it’s our mystery

I saw her in the gloomAs she moved across the roomThe animal was burning in her eyeShe took him by the handBut he didn’t understand herHe wouldn’t be the one to satisfyGot to wait no mistakeI’ve got to take my chanceBe there bewareThe secret of the dance

I moved a little closerSo maybe I could show herThe way I felt the way I knewIt was more than a gameI was getting loadedSo I touched her and explodedThat was it I knew my lifeWould never be the sameIt’s too late I can’t escapeI went and blew my chanceAnd so I’ll never knowThe secret of the dance.

‘Cos she tears me downShe won’t get away from my bedI said she tears me downSays I’m just an animal instead

In the Birmingham MailThey reported a whaleThey’d discovered in the dead of nightIn the local canalIt was found by a palOf the bloke who’d lost it from his bikeWe can say it againIf it doesn’t make senseBut never in the dead of nightIf we wait until dawnWhen the reason is bornWe can see it better in the light

Dreaming in the dead of nightIn the morning it will be alrightScreaming in the dead of nightTomorrow it will be alright

MESSAGE IN A BOTTLEMESSAGE IN A BOTTLEMESSAGE IN A BOTTLEMESSAGE IN A BOTTLEMESSAGE IN A BOTTLE(Gillan/Towns)(Gillan/Towns)(Gillan/Towns)(Gillan/Towns)(Gillan/Towns)I was born in a bar in ’45It’s sure a wonder this boy’s aliveI feel no pain but I’m getting so dryTake me to a brewery and leave me there to dieI went to Chicago they put me in a bedI turned bright yellow they thought that I was deadFor the next six months they said avoid temptationI said fine I’ll drink in moderation

One bottle a day — of Scotland’s finest

If I learned to love and I learned to singI would know a little bit of everythingI put a message in a bottle I was stranded on a rockSend another gallon ‘cos I’m running out of stockI can see you in my little bottleYou are laughing and I am tooWhen you’re empty and I’m goneThen they will laughAnd throw us both away

FIGHTING MANFIGHTING MANFIGHTING MANFIGHTING MANFIGHTING MAN(Towns)(Towns)(Towns)(Towns)(Towns)There’s a manLiving on the kind of street that makes you wonderGot a face that tells the life of city thunderHere’s the man

In his handIs a gun that says he doesn’t need a reasonAnd there’s no�one gonna take away the freedomIn his hand

He’s a bad mistakeGot no heart to hateGot a mind that canHe’s a fighter’s fighting man

He’s got styleGot a reputation no�one dares to questionGives you promises if you should ever mentionHe’s got style

Got a roadStretches straight between the eyes of any heroThrough the heart of many fools who try it’s zeroDown the road

Fighter’s fighting man

He’s got arms of steelHe’s got hands that killGot a mind that canHe’s a fighter’s fighting man

If you burn my houseI’ll steal your carI’ll knock you downAnd you won’t get too farFrom my powerI’m full of powerMy children will towerAnd they will fight too

Vengeance is my rightVengeance I fight a dirty fightVengeance right is might in my hand

You’re beaten nowIn any caseYou’d better turn aroundAnd look in my face‘Cos I’m strongerI’m feeling much strongerIf you fight me much longerI’ll break you in two

Moving over your knee was new territoryWe were passing through Billings MontanaAs we slipped through Spokane you said something profaneAnd I shifted up into Nirvana

I can feel you I can seePuget Sound you belong to meI can feel you mighty seaPuget Sound you belong to me

Lying there like a pearl oh my Ithica girlWe’ve got 44 days in TacomaAd we lay in the sand with my life in your handI just drifted in Pacificoma

I can feel you gentle seaPuget Sound you have set me freeFeel the ocean feel the sunPuget Sound feel your waters runs

There was nothing to say we just shivered all dayAd we touched and I kissed you all overThey said go West young man and it’s true that you canFor an old 99 dollar rover

DEAD OF NIGHTDEAD OF NIGHTDEAD OF NIGHTDEAD OF NIGHTDEAD OF NIGHT(Gillan/Towns)(Gillan/Towns)(Gillan/Towns)(Gillan/Towns)(Gillan/Towns)

As we went to the doorI was asking for moreSo she reached out and turned off the lightThen her daddy calledTo mind the lecherous loutWho was a monster in the dead of nightSo I went away homeFeeling hurt and aloneAnd frustrated in the dead of nightThen I called her at dawnAnd we made love on the lawn‘Cos her daddy thought it was alright

Danger to the girl at nightIn the morning it will be alrightDon’t do it in the dead of nightTomorrow it should be alright

Wow said the king to the fighters in the ringI sure do think it’s funnyThe way you punch and you brawl til you can barely crawlAre you sure you’re only in it for the money

Good Golly said the creep to the cop on the beatI do admire the way you feel a collarWith all the beating and the showing that ain’t so lovely dovingAre you sure you only do it for the dollar

Whoa said the judge to the hooker with a nudgeI’m gonna fine you all your pleasureBut with the pervs and the kinks and the queer rinky dinksAre you sure you only do it or the treasure

Hey man said God to the Devil with a nodI’m gonna fight you for the human raceBut if I beat you with a spell and kick you out of hellAre you sure that I can take your placeI’ll be your confidanteTell me of all your desiresLet me be your confidanteI’ll help to put coal on your fires

NIGHT RIDE OUT OF PHOENIXNIGHT RIDE OUT OF PHOENIXNIGHT RIDE OUT OF PHOENIXNIGHT RIDE OUT OF PHOENIXNIGHT RIDE OUT OF PHOENIX(Gillan/Towns)(Gillan/Towns)(Gillan/Towns)(Gillan/Towns)(Gillan/Towns)

The desert air was coldAnd the moon was shining brightAs I rode out of PhoenixThere was tension in the nightSomeone was walking on my graveI said I knowThat something is happening tonight

A night ride out of PhoenixIn the desert on a skewbald mareMoon bright shining over PhoenixA horse walking while the lizards stare

Alone in the night with the bloom of a desert roseAlone in the night I’m never going home

Alongside on a jet black stallionCame riding from out of the airHe just smiled and pointed to heavenAnd I knew what was waiting there

Scared in the night looking down from a desert skyFlying in the night watching Phoenix die

FlyNight ride out of PhoenixFly by the Devil’s sideFlying on the venegance rideCold in the night watching Phoenix die

For some reason I’d been chosenTo be a witness to the Devil’s hateBut I knew that those burned in PhoenixHad left me to a darker fate

Scared in the night looking down from a desert skyFlying in the night watching Phoenix die

FlyNight ride out of PhoenixFly by the Devil’s sideFlying on the venegance rideCold in the night watching Phoenix die

Adopted an entirely different roleI gave my money to the poorUntil I was poorBut at least I ensuredThat I would go up thereInstead of down belowTo the InfernoWhere the evil flames of desireBurned higher and higher and higher

I’m gonna go to HeavenPaid my dues so I’m getting inI’m gonna go to HeavenIt’s looking good if I abstain from sin

I knocked on the pearly gatesNeatly side�stepping the long queueWaved hi to St. PeterWho checked my card and let me throughI smiledThrew my hands in the airLaughedAnd got arrestedThey said ‘hey man, you’re in the wrong placeYour behaviour is a disgraceHere we pray every hourOn the hourRead extracts from the BibleAnd look solemn’What, says I, no party?Let me out

Let me out of HeavenI got it wrong no I can’t stay hereNo laughing in HeavenLet me out, I just can’t stay here

Well I ran around in the state of shock and panicThis wasn’t what I expectedHere was what looked like a bunch of manic depressivesCan I get a transfer, I screamedBut noOnce you’re in Heaven, you’re here for goodThe good of your soulBut that’s no good for meIf you want to go to Hell you’ve really got to be badOkay, okay, I’ll be badToo lateWhat do you mean too lateToo lateNoIn the meantime

You get a piece of landOr just a patch of forestWhere you hunt some meatSo you can sit and eatAnd when you’re warm and fedYou can go to bedFor this you were born to kill

You find a woman whoWill make you feel so goodAnd she will share your lifeAnd will become your wifeAnd when you’re warm and fedYou can go to bedFor her you’ were born to kill

It’s just a simple lifeAnd when your children growAnd they just want to playIn golden fields of hayAnd when the sun goesThe light from your house glows

One day a band of strangersKnock you to the groundAnd take your land from youYour wife and children tooTears and blood will mixYou can fight guns with sticksFor this you were born to kill

If you're looking for trouble(You) came to the right place

If your looking for troubleJust look right in my face

I was born standing up, talking backMy daddy was a green eyed mountain jack

Cause I'm evil, my name is miseryI said I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me

I don't go look for trouble, but I never ranI don't take no orders, from no kind of manI'm only made out of flesh, blood and bone

If you want to start a rumbleDon't you try it alone,

Because I'm evilMy middle name is misery,

Yeah I said I'm evil, babeSo don't you mess around with me

(Repeat line 1�9)

Oh my soul, I said I'm evil babeSo don't you mess around with me

WHAT’S THE MATTERWHAT’S THE MATTERWHAT’S THE MATTERWHAT’S THE MATTERWHAT’S THE MATTERJust because you smile at me and then touch my handDrink all my money encourage my dirty plansI stand rigidlyOh so attentivelyLeering and dribblingAnd then so suddenly I seeWhat’s the matter with you?

Let me touch you I think you’re wonderful youWhat you mean your body is just one part of you?I stand rigidlySo dejectedlyYou talk stupidlyNow you’re doing me inWhat’s the matter with you?

You’re so ugly I can’t even look at your faceYour body’s a dream but your mind is a stupid disgraceI stand droopilySo dejectedlyYou talk stupidlyNow you’ve finished me offWhat’s the matter with you?

BLUESY BLUE SEABLUESY BLUE SEABLUESY BLUE SEABLUESY BLUE SEABLUESY BLUE SEASitting here with the bottom lineYou wanna know whatI’m gonna take my timeIt may be good but it could be badIt drives me madSitting here like a lunaticYou wanna know whatDon’t it make you sickYes I may be right I may be wrongBut you can’t sing my song

Looking deep in my moody eyesFeeling good wellI got a big surpriseYou’re the one that I’m aiming at youYou stupid prat I’mOn the edge of insanityBut wait a minute nowIs it you or meLock me up if I’ve done you wrongYou’ll never sing my song

Bluesy blue sea won’t you favour meBluesy blue sea won’t you savour meI live loosely not too bravelyBluesy blue sea won’t you save me

Gotta dream in December daysI can’t reach it butI’m gonna change my waysForget the wind and forget the snow you gottaYou gotta let me goSiting here like a lunaticYou wanna know whatDon’t it make you sickI may be right and I may be wrongWish I could sing your song

Bluesy blue sea won’t you favour meBluesy blue sea won’t you savour meI live loosely not too bravelyBluesy blue sea won’t you save me

CAUGHT IN A TRAPCAUGHT IN A TRAPCAUGHT IN A TRAPCAUGHT IN A TRAPCAUGHT IN A TRAPI’m amazed by the fact that you noticed meAnd I’m crazed by your simple delicacyI’m amazed by the shape of your pedigreeI’m amazed by the taste of your filigreeI’m amazed by my lost sensitivityGone in days of adventure and piracyI’m amazed at my own eccentricityIn a haze of electricity

In the gatewayTrapped in the gatewayLook where I’m goingLook where I came fromDown going roundScreaming no soundNo sky no groundI’m caught in a trap

I’m amazed by this feeling of ecstasyIn a phrase misaligned so incurablyTo the ways of all creatures of fantasyLoosely based around the fears of realityI’m amazed by the weakness of gravityI’m amazed by this binding depravityTake away all the legends and mysteryYou’ll be dazed by your history

LONG GONELONG GONELONG GONELONG GONELONG GONESay what you’re going to sayI’ll never turn you awayBut you’ll never make me stayPrey for what is realAnd if that’s how you feelYou’ve made a better deal

I’ll come back when the trees stop growingI’ll stand still when tide stops flowingI’ll look around when there’s no fire burning

Send love to my loverLove to my brotherI’m gone long goneSend love to the old waysLove to the city hazeI’m gone long gone

Tears in your beautiful eyesYou’ve got too many fearsBut I’m really not surprised

Faster, faster you’ve got to win your raceFaster, faster you fight for every placeDon’t ease up tillThe top of the hillThe pain goes awayAnd life goes your wayIf you push fast

What can you do when you stayIn your soft and easy lifeWhen ambition is burning to make a breakWhat can I doLost in a hazeTelling you howBut I’m just an a dazeWild it’s driving me wildIt’s driving me wild

You’ll see me in the sky keeping controlAvoid my eyeOr you will dieYour lives have been unreadNow you obey the undead

Stand down out of my wayBlue smoke turns you awayI’m trapped here in this tombHell fire here in this womb this earthI’m the Demon Driver sole survivor

Go to the right go to the left out of my sightTurn to the east turn to the west turn out your lights

Goodbye mercy happy healthy sunshine heroesHello sleepless tortured bodies mental zeroesGoodbye woman warm as nature laughing livingHello person colder stranger unforgiving

If you see me in your mind taking controlRelease your soulI’ll make you wholeI am the Demon DriverI am the Demon Driver

Look you millions in lineEyes up look for a signI’m out of this lineBlue smoke leaves you behindI’m the Demon Driver sole survivor

Close up your hands close up your mouthYou’ve nothing to sayHead for the North head for the SouthJust go away

Goodbye habit boring SundayMonday slow deathHello freedom faster freeways clean air sweet breathGoodbye routine obligation sphincter lotionHello mountains trees and desertsSky and ocean

LIVING A LIELIVING A LIELIVING A LIELIVING A LIELIVING A LIESomebody knocks on my door nobody answersSomebody taps on my soul nobody caresJust as she reaches my heart taking chancesOnly to find no�one there

It’s just another lie

How can she give when she’s just given up knowingHow can I take when I’ve had more than my shareJust as I weep for her close and glowingNow I’m alone cold and bare

It’s just another lie

Going down going down just do deceiveComing round around I believe ohLay me down lay me down I can’t breatheI’m living a lieIt’s just another lie

Look to your right and you’llSee that the man with the gunIs still shooting the fool on the runTurn you around and you’llStill hear the sound of the feetThat keep marching the length of the street

Look to the West and you’llNotice the fat men of easeAre now living on salad and cheeseLook to the East whereSurvival is hard on the plainsAnd all thin men still eat monkey brains

Man you shout so loud you’re right of courseBut when you’re in a crowd you’re right off course

Look at the sky whereThe spirits of childrenAnd those who are heroes will peacefully glowLook at the ground whereThe mood of frustrationIs sadly displayed in the eyes of a nation

The time is always now the call is always loudWithout a movement a word, without a soundLove comes crashing in againBrings along the clouds and rain

You’ve got to take a chance you haven’t got a choiceSomewhere in the rain you hear a distant voiceLove has come to stake its claimIt’s when you reach the clouds and rain

If I close my eyes I can picture youThis is the place I get the clearest viewBeyond the happiness and painThis place they call the clouds and rain

First you are a lover then you become a friendAnd then you start to wonder will it ever endI’d like to ask you just the sameWithout feeling any shameDid you touch the clouds and rain

Hello what’s going onUnanswered questions confusing my wordsWhich later I stumble uponIn a room painted greenquite clearly she was not what she seemedBut she was what she wanted to beShe took my breath away ...

And now there was no doubtWith eyes like a laser that sliced me in twoHer primitive signals upon me

Her secret was outWell I know it’s gonna passShe may be no more than a sigh in the nightThe rhythm of danger can‘t dance aloneWhatever the reason it never was mineI saw I felt my lifeWas going too fast, ah, at lastShe took my breath away ...She took my soulShe took my breath away ...

GUT REACTIONGUT REACTIONGUT REACTIONGUT REACTIONGUT REACTIONI feel so dirtyI feel so dirtyIt’s all so worked outYou tell me I’ve been wrongI got no reason to live any moreNothing to do but just curl up and die

But wait a minute babeI can’t see your eyesAre you telling me liesWhat are you doing?Bringing me down to size

I can’t see your burning eyesI can’t feel your gut reactionDo you think I’m paralysed

I’ve got no pityI’m heading for the cityI just don’t thinkWhen I’m taking revengeI got a red mist in front of my eyesDon’t try to stop meDon’t even try

So what’s the matter babe?Hurt your feelings have I?It’s making me cryWhat d’you expect whenYou pierce my heart with a knife?

Can you see my burning eyesCan you feel my gut reaction?I can see you’re paralysed

NO GOOD LUCKNO GOOD LUCKNO GOOD LUCKNO GOOD LUCKNO GOOD LUCKAin’t got no good luckMissed the good luck turnAin’t no good luck babyI missed the good luck turnAll my lifeYou put my heart in miseryYou ain’t been good to me babyAnd now you’re history

I love youI want you so closeBut you fool with my emotions

Ain’t no good luckCome my wayNothing But bad luckI been led astrayDon’t look on the bright sideThere’s too much shineGonna stay in the shadowWhere I can clearly seeI need some of what you got babeBut it’s dirty dirtyAnd it ain’t no good to me

I don’t know What makes me laugh at painAnd I don’t careWhen I’m dancing in the rain

No good luckEver came my wayNo good luckEver came my way

NOTHING BUT THE BESTNOTHING BUT THE BESTNOTHING BUT THE BESTNOTHING BUT THE BESTNOTHING BUT THE BESTI see you on the same route every dayI climb on the bus even though it’s not going my wayAs luck would have it I took a longer look todayAnd saw your brown eyes peeping up over your bookYou had a little lookDo you mind if I say helloMaybe I could ask your nameI don’t suppose there’s the slightest chanceOf running that smile again

Put on your high heel shoes and your long black dressWhy don’t you try to put my imagination to the testWhat you want is what you getI’m gonna give you nothing but the best...

...thing to happen was meeting like thisYou know there’s one or two things babe I can’t resistIt might sound crazy but babe I believe in destinyYou bring out the best of meI’ll give you everythingAnd not just tonightI’ll give you champagne and limousinesFor the rest of your life

Put on your high heel shoes and your long black dressWhy don’t you try to put my imagination to the testWhat you want is what you getI’m gonna give you nothing but the best...

LOVING ON BORROWED TIMELOVING ON BORROWED TIMELOVING ON BORROWED TIMELOVING ON BORROWED TIMELOVING ON BORROWED TIME...and then she saidI’m going to love you ‘til the day I dieI turned aroundAnd saw a tear in the corner of her eyeSitting on the fence the next afternoonIt didn’t made a lot of senseNot like that smokey room

I touched your handAnd felt a warmth that was reflected in your smileI knew at once what we had startedWould be over in just a while

Hidden in the crowd we touched a few times moreThere was never any doubt we edged towards the doorAnd I don’t know what you did to meI was trembling at your touchMy feelings for you ran quick and deepWe were loving on borrowed time...so sad, so sad

I have to leave you nowI’m going home, I’m going homeTo my number one

Laughing off the painI really have to go you knowWe’ll do it againIn a while or so

SWEET LOLITASWEET LOLITASWEET LOLITASWEET LOLITASWEET LOLITAOh such an innocent lookYou’ve got in your eyeThere’s a woman in the girl I knowGot to be satisfied

I know you’re discovering your sex appealBut you don’t seem to worry‘bout the way I feel in my heartWith your body sign

I don’t want to hurt youSays this heart of mineBut I can’t controlWhat you’re doing to my mind

I don’t want youHanging round my doorI can’t stand it anymore baby‘cos you’re jailbait

Oh Sweet LolitaYou’ve driving me wildI could love you and make it so easyBut you’re just a child

We could fly on a daytrip to ParadiseIt feels like a dreamBut it cuts like a knifeThrough my heartI don’t want to hurt youSays this heart of mineBut sweet temptationWhat you doing to my mind

I don’t want youHanging round my doorI can’t stand it anymore baby‘cos you’re jailbait

NO MORE CANE ON THE BRAZOSNO MORE CANE ON THE BRAZOSNO MORE CANE ON THE BRAZOSNO MORE CANE ON THE BRAZOSNO MORE CANE ON THE BRAZOSThere ain’t no more cane on the BrazosThey ground it all up in molasses

Captain don’t you do me like you done your poor shineWell they drove that poor Billy ‘til he went stone blind

You want to come on the river in 1904You could find many dead men on most every road, mostevery road

If you going on the river in 1910They was driving the women like they drive the men

Why don’t you rise up you dead menHelp me drive my roadWhy don’t you rise up you dead menHelp me drive my road, drive my road

Well there’s some in the buildingAnd there’s some in the yardThere’s some in the graveyardAnd there’s some going home

Why don’t you wake up you peopleAnd lift up your headsYou may get your pardonBut you may end up dead

The ripple in the river giving way to waterfallsThe canopies of the forestWhere the ghosts of long forgotten godsLie at peace with simple thingsAnd the parts of us that whisperAnd say hey this is a moonlight trip

It’s an old abandoned routeAnd the dust of centuries obscures the many signsIt is beyond the wit of manTo farm the sea as he farms the land

Chandra, chandra chandra’s corianderChandra, chandraIt’s been a long timeSince anybody walked this way

The mother of a genius gets to know the golden ruleA generation passes and her daughter gives birth to a foolTomorrow’s child a primitive soulThe ancient spirits whisperAnd say hey this is a moonlight ride

From the ruins and the filthThe arrogance and pride the phoenix will riseWitness to the path he choseShe walks with eyesForever closed

Chandra, chandra chandra’s corianderChandra, chandraIt’s been a long timeSince anybody walked this way

You’re a prima donna one in a millionA go for it girlYou’re a prima donnaOh, a go for it girl

I was the only oneNow you want another oneAnd one and one and one and oneIs five good reasons why I should be leavingIt’s never too late to give it one more shot

They felled a great oak over thereThey filled a duck pond over hereWe’ve got a glass and concrete monster nowThat feeds and caters to our fearsMaybe it’s too late to spoll another viewThat’s why god is singing the blues

Forgive us father for we know not what we doBlame it on each other and in the name of youForgive us mother for the pain we causedWe destroyed what’s yoursThat’s why papa’s singing the blues

Polluted all the oceansPulped all the treesPlagued by chronic boredomWe blew a hole in the atmosphereWe tore out her heartLeft her battered and bruisedThat’s why god is singing the blues

Forgive us father for we know not what we doBlame it on each otherAnd in the name of youForgive us motherFor the pain we causedWe destroyed what’s yoursThat’s why papa’s singing the blues

You may believe in evolutionYou may believe in god’s great creationThe only thing we know for sureWe got a man made situationWe turned this whole world into a dying zooThat’s why god is singing the blues

You better live on your feetThan die on your kneesI stole that from some graffitiLord have mercy pleaseLiving in this babylonKeeps us confusedThat’s why god is singing the blues

My daddy was from ScotlandAnd I couldn’t understandA single word he said to meUntil I was a man.It was about the time I hadMe wisdom tooth put in’twas then I saw the whickersGrowing on a dead man’s chin

I set my heart on youI thought you you knew itI’ve been so hard on you

You hurt my dignity and my prideAnd woman, something deep inside me snappedThe way you looked at meSo cold and I was lost in my misery

I set my heart on youI thought you you knew itI’ve been so hard on you

I’ve been hard on youI’ve been so hard on youI’ve been hard on youI’ve been hard on you

I can see youI can hear youYou smell goodI want to taste you and touch youBut you’re out of reach no surpriseI knew that you were goingI could see it in your eyesI get my heart on youI thought you you knew itI’ve been so hard on you
