1. Born Innocent

What does it take... to grow within this life?
How do we know when we're winning?
Who does it best, is it a soldier at war?
We always celebrate the killing

The mindless expectations
To an unknown end
But we all take the struggle

We are born innocent
Then we grow to be human
We are born innocent
But we grow to be human

Life is for rent... everyone pays to live
We gotta look good while or do it
Reach for the highest place that no one can touch
Perfectly groomed while you do it

The mindless expectations
To an unknown end
But we all take the struggle

We are born innocent
Then we grow to be human
We are born innocent
But we grow to be human

The mindless expectations
To an unknown end
But we all take the struggle

We are born innocent
Then we grow to be human
We are born innocent
But we grow to be human

2. Polar Bear

There in a blizzard of ice, an old is walking
He's leaving his eskimo life, and knows where he's going
Out where the caribou run, wilderness desert
He sits alone on the ground, shaking and silente

Something is coming to take him away
Where his long life will be ended
After his life has been taken away
He'll be reborn returning

Please save him polar bear, release his spirit
Take him to where he'll reborn again
You know him polar bear, as many before him
You took them where they'd born again

He threw his spear one last time, no longer a hunter
He left family behind, his work for them over
All his treasures were placed in the ground, wait for his returning
He will be born strong again, a new life beginning

Something is coming to take him away
Where his long life will be ended
After his life has been taken away
He'll be reborn returning

Please save him polar bear, release his spirit
Take him to where he'll reborn again
You know him polar bear, as many before him
You took them where they'd born again

Gracefully, he laid his burdon down
Awakening to anew life

Something is coming to take him away
Where his long life will be ended
After his life has been taken away
He'll be reborn returning

Chorus:
Please save him polar bear, release his spirit
Take him to where he'll reborn again
You know him polar bear, as many before him
You took them where they'd born again

3. Finn McCool

Hey Finn McCool, should I believe in you
Your story crossed a million years
Building a path across the Irish Sea
So you could face your enemy

On Scottish shores, the giant benandonner
Waits for the fighting to begin
So Finn McCool did you turn back in fear?
When you looked in the giant's eyes?

It's not so hard to see, why we love fantasy
Fables are better than fact
Legends are comforting, if you are listening
Go to that place but come back

You stood so tall, high as the highest tree
No one could ever beat you down
But face to face, looked down upon you
So a little giant ran

It's not so hard to see, why we love fantasy
Fables are better than fact
Legends are comforting, if you are listening
Go to that place but come back

It's not so hard to see, why we love fantasy
Fables are better than fact
Legends are comforting, if you are listening
Go to that place but come back

It's not so hard to see, why we love fantasy
Fables are better than fact
Legends are comforting, if you are listening
Go to that place but come back

Legends are comforting, if you are listening
Go to that place but come back
Come back... Come back

4. We Still Remember

We're looking at old photographs
What were those clothes we're wearing?
We should have got our money back
But styles just keep returning

It's Saturday on the street of kings
Those in the know would gather
Fashion plates, different renderings
Every stitch designer

Look how we would celebrate
With our new found style
People stared at our strange parade
Did they want to be us for a while?

So remember while we still remember
We all have our moment in the sun

The soundtrack of our modern lives
Came from the motor city
Blue beat rhythms made us dance
Our tastes sophisticated

Look how we would celebrate
With our new found style
People stared at our strange parade
Did they want to be us for a while?

So remember while we still remember
We all have our moment in the sun

Times were a changin' someone said
Everyone chose their group
Those guys are this and those guys that
What we were was something new

Look how we would celebrate
With our new found style
People stared at our strange parade
Did they want to be us for a while?

So remember while we still remember
We all have our moment in the sun

So remember while we still remember
We all have our moment in the sun

5. London 1666

Midnight in London 1666
A single flame was a start of it
The medieval city, inside the city walls
Many unnamed victims of a firestorm

Then came the violence
Then came the strife
Moving fast like a lightning strike
Was it retribution, for another sin
Was it the solution for the plague within

Nowhere to go and no place to hide
The skies are burning from every side
Take what you can and flee from the flames
Run for your life and start once again

On the wind destruction, chaos and death
Churches and factories, Westminster spared
On the streets the riots, suspicion and fear
The mayors indecision – hell on earth is here!

Still the violence
Still the strife
Still moving fast live a lightning strike

Nowhere to go and no place to hide
The skies are burning from every side
Take what you can and flee from the flames
Run for your life and start once again

Nowhere to go and no place to hide
The skies are burning from every side
Take what you can and flee from the flames
Run for your life and start once again

Nowhere to go and no place to hide
The skies are burning from every side
Take what you can and flee from the flames
Run for your life and start once again

6. Dirty Like The City

He met her at the party
A silhouette so perfectly formed
Her voice flowed like a sonnet
A noble profile proud and strong

Could have been a debutant had he met her at stately home
But he was in for a big surprise when airs and graces were gone

Dirty, dirty like the city
She was dirty, dirty like the city

She was a classic act
With a thousand curtain calls
Every man she met was weakened
As she grabbed them by the balls

Could have been a debutant had he met her at stately home
But he was in for a big surprise when airs and graces were gone

Dirty, dirty like the city
She was dirty, dirty like the city

7. I Am The King

Way after midnight getting late
She lays with me in darkness
Can't fight the need to copulate
No power on earth could stop us
She strikes a match to light we're golden
I kiss her neck and take a bite
She claws my back to hold on

While we're in this altered state
She comes over never late
She knows how to stimulate my action

Take me down, pull me in
Shine the crown, tell me, I'm the king
Take me down, pull me in
Lie to me, and tell me I'm the king

I push her shoulders to the sheets
Throw back her dead in passion
We always win, there's no defeat
Can't kill a proud erection
Until I hear that primal scream
That tells me I have won her
This is the time to plant the seed
The harvesting is over

While we're in this altered state
She comes over never late
She knows how to stimulate my action

Take me down, pull me in
Shine the crown, tell me, I'm the king
Take me down, pull me in
Lie to me, and tell me I'm the king

We seal the deal, a perfect bond
No pulling back it's game on

While we're in this altered state
She comes over never late
She knows how to stimulate my action

Take me down, pull me in
Shine the crown, tell me, I'm the king
Take me down, pull me in
Lie to me, and tell me I'm the king

Take me down, pull me in

Take me down, pull me in
Shine the crown, tell me, I'm the king
Take me down, pull me in
Lie to me, and tell me I'm the king

Take me down, pull me in

Pull me in

8. Something That I Am Missing

I'm swinging down from 6/8
To a measure more relaxing
With a rhythm that beats time with my heart
It's a little less disturbing, when the music flows like water
It keeps my mind from trying too hard

Can you tell me something
That I may be missing
In this music is there something I'm not getting?

When a song becomes too heavy
Sometimes I just can't lift it
I leave them there to die on the floor
I just can't stand to hear them
With their devil, hell and demons
Don't they ever have some new place to go?

Can you tell me something
That I may be missing
In this music is there something I'm not getting?

Can you tell me something
That I may be missing

In this music is there something I'm not getting?

Can you tell me something
That I may be missing

In this music is there something I'm not getting?

9. Paper Flags

In the east of London fly the Union Jacks
Ready for one more royal event
A gift from the great working class

Born the heart of the city, when heard the bow bells
Their taxes pay for this stupid parade, a circus carnival

Look at the paper flags waving
To celebrate what?
The royal wave gives the finger
To the poor and the lost

Why don't they bring out the ballots
When the queen takes a crap
Can't they see it's a royal event
Like the birth of one more royal brat

Time for a small revolution
Vacate the Buckingham zoo
Let them run free in this big scary world
And get to eat some cake too

Look at the paper flags waving
To celebrate what?
The royal wave gives the finger
To the poor and the lost

The crown will son lose its luster
When realized diamonds are nothing but rocks

Look at the paper flags waving
To celebrate what?
The royal wave gives the finger
To the poor and the lost

Look at the paper flags waving
To celebrate what?
The royal wave gives the finger
Are you getting the plot?

10. The Wound Is Open

I think I'm broken, I need a quick fix

Do I remember me?...I think I do
I do believe my name's the same
Lost my soul and my identity
Don't know just where my body's been

Walking out in the moonlight
In some uncharted town
Something much stronger than me...
Took me some place I should not have gone

I think I'm broken, I need a quick fix
The wound is open, one drink can close it

It's 3am I'm tired and stumbling
The sidewalk wet from morning rain
I look like something that the cat dragged in
Hoping I don't fall down again

Every stone closed and shuttered
Nowhere to get me a drink
Every step taken, I'm fearful and broken
I stand on the brink

I think I'm broken, I need a quick fix
The wound is open, one drink can close it

Walking out in the moonlight
In some uncharted town
Something much stronger than me...
Took me some place I should not have gone

I think I'm broken, I need a quick fix
The wound is open, one drink can close it

11. Body Beautiful

Have you met grandmother, covered in tattoos
Addicted to graffiti since she's 22
Once they were fire-fierce pictures
Dragons colored bright
Now the colors faded, just blue guiding lines

Once homesick sailors so young
Out for the night having fun
To show their buddies they're so strong
Tattooed with a heart that says "MOM"

The body beautiful
So show your mark
The body beautiful
Just show your mark

An' her skin looks dirty, from the needles' ink
Every outline moves under old wrinkled skin
It was quite a fashion back in her younger days
Now it's gone full circle, young kids go the same way
Do you ever get the strange need?
The needle, the ink makes you bleed
The picture is permanently fixed
Does a lifetime of doubt follow it

The body beautiful
So show your mark
The body beautiful
Just show your mark

Once homesick sailors so young
Out for the night having fun
To show their buddies they're so strong
Tattooed with a heart that says "MOM"

The body beautiful
So show your mark
The body beautiful
Just show your mark

Make me bleed
The body beautiful
So show your mark

(Make me bleed)

The body beautiful
Just show your mark

12. Warth Lane

The 22nd of December
We were dressing up the tree
The radio was playing caroling
The music warm and comforting
Then there came a knock upon a door
Outside there stood a man in uniform
He asked me "Son are you parents in?"
A friend of your has had an accident

He said I'll speak to your mother and father
There are some things you shouldn't hear
I left the room where they could speak to him
Why I should leave I wasn't sure
Through the walls I heard my mother cry
"Oh my God, he's just a little boy"
Someone found him high up in a tree
Hanging by his neck for all to see

On no, no, no, don't leave us crying
On no, no, no, don't leave us crying

We were closest of young friends
Our thoughts and hopes, we shared together
He dreamed he'd race a thoroughbred
T ride that horse and be a winner
It couldn't be, his body was too weak
The sickness that he had could take him down
He took his life before he died in pain

On no, no, no, don't leave us crying
On no, no, no, don't leave us crying

On no, no, no, don't leave us crying
On no, no, no, you left us crying....

13. For Tony

I will never remember the first day we met
I woke up so early and took my first breath
The frost on the window pane, fractured the light
You were so happy to meet us, we two in on life

The time that you gave me, beyond words on a line
We walked out in harmony, not a step out of time
I grew like the strongest oak, then the whole forest fell
The days became so distant, you didn't know me so well

I've heard this song before, did I creare these lines?
The story's been told, so many ways, so many times...
Is this yours, is it mine?

Back in the penniless pathway we were incredibly rich
You guarded us so closely from any bitterness kick
You din't tell me one day you'd go, like a lion I cried
I am alone in the open, just a shell from the tide

That little town of ours was all the universe
You held me had and guided me through
So I'd never be, the little boy lost

There's a space in a green field where a tree will be set
It's for the ones who love you to show where you rest
As every branch reaches for the sun, we will hold you again
For you are my brother, my brother... my friend
