1. Island In The Sun
They named it the rock, land of the living dead
A repose for the rich and famous
All the infamous would tell each other's lies
Why did they want to tell the truth
On an island in the sun
Cool Pacific winds blow
Most were poets and they wrote in basic prose
On the walls of their sunset blvd.
In their nine by five rooms, became inspired
By the silence in sight of the city
On an island in the sun
Cool Pacific winds blow
Just across the bay
Battered by the waves
Two Sailawena's
2. General Hospital
I awoke in a room that was occupied by hose about to die
For my sleep was disturbed by the sound f old mens cries for help
What's this place what the hell am I oing here
What's happened to me and I'm wondering what kind of state my mind and body's in
Be calm please lay back
We will help you rest for a while
And I yelled "No you don't I'm not going to sleep"
I'm just gonna get my body out of here
I pushed the bottle down away from my face
But felt the needle stab like a spear
As my legs started shaking
The room revolved around my aching head
And the floors rushing up just to greet me
Laying there on my back as the ceiling
flies away and from me
Was I finally losing my hold on reality
Be calm take this pill
We will help you rest for a while
3. Hiroshima Mon Amour
Hiroshima Mon Amour
It was newborn and ten feet tall,
But they called it little boy,
And C7, H5, O6, N3 they called him
T-N-T.
The fireball would dim the sun,
Promising death in its cruelest form.
Hiroshima Mon Amour
As we beg to be forgiven do you spit,
In our face and curse us all.
The fireball that shamed the sun,
Burning the shadows on the ground,
As the rain falls to dry the land,
Leaving desert for the thirsty man.
They all said it would end the war,
And we thanked Christ for the bomb,
And the priests and witches all agreed,
They should die to keep them free.
The fireball that shamed the sun,
Burning the shadows on the ground,
As the rain falls to dry the land,
Leaving the desert for the thirsty man.
HIROSHIMA!!!
4. All Night Long (Live)
You're walking up with your eyes on me
It's looking good but I just don't know
I need a girl who can keep her head
All night long
You didn't came just to see the show
I guess you know what you wanna see
The way you smile lets me know
I can't go wrong
I wanna touch you
I wanna feel you
I wanna make you mine
I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long
I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long
I saw you standing down by the stage
Your black stockings and you see – through dress
Your mouth is open but I don't wanna hear you
Say goodnight
You're sort of young but you're over age
I don't care 'cause I like your style
I don't know about your brain but
You look all right
I wanna touch you
I wanna feel you
I wanna make you mine
I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long
I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long
Your mind is dirty but your hands are clean
You show no class but your legs are long
I know I can't stand another night
On my own
Hey girl would you like some wine
What's your name are you by yourself
Are you the one what do you say
Can I take you home
I wanna touch you
I wanna feel you
I wanna make you mine
I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long
I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long
5. Since You've Been Gone (Live)
I get the same old dreams same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup
These four wall are closing in
Look at the fix you put me in
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone
So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around
too soon
You can't know what you mean to me
Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone
If you will come back
Baby, you know you'll never do wrong
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ever since you been gone
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
6. Night Games (Live)
оригинал: Ed Hamilton
See the man in the busy street
He's almost incomplete
He takes his pleasure in strange ways
And the lady of the library
She's just like you and me
You wanna know her at all
She takes the train up to the great big city
She knocks the door and steps right in
He's just a fool that someone likes to pity
They work it out in the house of sin
Night Games
They pay for their night games
They were two lovers
They dont use names
It says in the rules
I's strictly for the fools
To play night games
They pay for their night games
Always play one last frame
Games of the night
Every room has a different scene
Everyone has a different dream
They make it any way they choose
You can get anything you need
Anyone at the price agreed
And it's up for grabs for you to lose
It's entertainment for the lost and lonely
A cabaret for those who dare
Full entertainment of the one and only
It's got to be if it gets you there
Night Games
They pay for their night games
They were two lovers
They don't use names
It says in the rules
It's strictly for the fools
To play their night games
They pay for their night games
Always play one last frame
It says in the rules
It's strictly for the fools
Night Games
7. Stripper
A dark and crowded room
Warm beer that's stale
Nobody seems to care, there's more for sale
She walks on the stage
Strokes her hips, shakes her mane
Her sweet cheap perfume, reminds them that
She's why they came.
Oh she's the stripper, she'll strip your soul
Oh she's the stripper, she'll eat you whole.
Assembled in Mexico, dark Spanish eyes,
She'll tell you where to go, if you get wise
She's your fantasy, but she won't go too far
Oh she has to be, in league with the guy at the bar
8. Painted Lover
Street wise, smooth thighs, dress for your pleasure
Your old man says, "Young man, stand and deliver"
She just wants that hard stash, hot from your pocket,
She don't need your credit card
So shove it, if you've got it.
Sailing on her waterbed
Side by side and head to head
Painted love, painted love, painted lover
Painted love, painted love, painted lover
Pin striped city tyke has a soft underbelly,
He's transfixed by the heel clicks
And he ducks down the alley
Silken legs stiletto spurred
Pulls you in to make you hers
9. Sons And Lovers
One more hotel it's 12 o'clock we're checking out
Still confused and slow to move to get on the bus,
The driver keeps that Memphis smile for his good old boys
He's loaded them up and heads them out in the void.
We drive –– pass those trailers and trucks
We'll make good time with some kind of luck
Another victory, for sons and lovers
You gave us the power, you gave the power
It's not just one more show we know it's gotta be right
We work the songs then kiss the road a warm good night
10. God Bless Video
Lets take a plane and go somewhere exotic
To play with a non-descript song
We'll shoot all the crotch shots for 12 year old hopefuls
To make you a real man my son
Some cheap kid from Birmingham
Blessed with an accent
That pours like the darkest brown ale
Just one more puppet, piss elegant marionette
He's just a fast buck for sale
Don't you know that God blessed video
We know that God blessed video
Break out the cameras that re-shape my face
And get someone to carve up my hair
If you can't beat them, you might as well join 'em
And be glad to say you were there
11. Mercy
Sister moon and brother sun
Shining down on my India
Spreading your light across the ground
Guiding the executioner
Great white warrior, you are the lonely hunter
Killing the prince of india
Killing the king in africa
Tiger burning brightly crying tears of fire
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Chand bahen ar suray bhy
Shining down on my India
Chamakta hey mana barat ka upar
Guiding the lonely preditor
Tiger burning brightly crying tears of fire
Mercy, mercy, mercy
12. It's My Life
It's a hard world to get a break in
All the good things have been taken
But girl there are ways to make certain to pay
Though I'm dressed in these rags
I'll wear sable someday
Hear what I say, I'm gonna ride the surface
No more time spent sweatin' rent
Hear my command, I'm breakin' loose
It ain't no use holdin' me down, so stick around
But baby baby, remember remember
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
(It's my life and I'll do what I want)
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But someday your cheats all will find
There'll be women and their fortunes
Who just want to mother orphans
But you're gonna cry when I'm squeezing you dry
Takin' all I can get
No regrets when I open their eyes
And I look for their money
Believe me honey, that's funny
Can you believe I ain't no saint, no complaint
So girl come on out, there ain't no doubt
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
13. Dangerous Games
She was a queen with a power of soul
And the eyes could stand the angel's face
She walked down the firey road
Into a young man's heart
Once inside she was chained to the wall
Of love's star court
She was playin' dangerous, dangerous games
Dangerous, dangerous games
Bought a ticket to the next world
Got so high she fell through the sky
An angel took her on his back
They flew so hard his wings they cracked
Lost in a lonely field of lovers
She had a knife undercovers
Now she wants her one and only
She looking too long
And the love that was lonely
Dangerous, d-d-d-dangerous
Dangerous games, that's how they play
They were playin' dangerous, d-d-d-dangerous
Dangerous games, you're messin' around with
Dangerous, d-d-d-dangerous
Dangerous games, can't get away
She's playin' dangerous, d-d-d-dangerous
Dangerous games
She fell to a long lost planet
And her lights went out
The eye of the master of darkness said
Dangerous, d-d-d-dangerous, dangerous games
She was playin' dangerous, d-d-d-dangerous
Dangerous games
14. Undercover
Running through gate number nine
She just can't miss that flight
Her gun is packed and loaded
As she slips into the night
Rome, London, New York, L.A.
She's all around the world
One more secret lover
Just another undercover girl
Undercover undercover undercover
Undercover undercover undercover
She's strange but that's alright
But then again I don't know
Posing as a cover girl
While she dances through the night
Sees through life, waits alone
Amid the sultry skies, she's got the magic touch
Undercover undercover undercover
When I'm undercover with you
Undercover undercover undercover
When I'm undercover with you
Her world is calling out for heroes
Behind the mask of double zeroes
Undercover undercover undercover
When I'm undercover with you
Undercover undercover undercover
When I'm undercover with you
No one sees the things that we do
Undercover
When I'm undercover with you
Undercover
15. No Imagination
You stood roadside
Long legs heels far too high
Looking like some perfect star
Who's the one this act is for?
You might scare young boys to death
With your backstreet cabaret
But I read you so long ago
The book's been out to play
'Cos you got no imagination
Though you look like a real fine breaker
No imagination
A straight ride no Kama Sutra
No bills name cards
Fast love soft touch got it fast
'Cos you think you've hit a hardline hook
You don't get no second looks
When you think you're boxin' clever
You don't never knock 'em out
I see you no more no
What you're tryin' 'em out
'Cos you got no imagination
Though you look like a real fine breaker
No imagination
A straight ride on Kama Sutra
No imagination
Sterilized and medicated
No imagination
You stood roadside
Long legs and those heels
They scare young boys to death
With your backstreet cabaret
But I read you so long ago
The book's been out to play
You got no imagination
Sterilized and medicated
No imagination
Open wide and get it finished
No imagination
Though you look like a real fine breaker
No imagination
Straight ride no Kama Sutra
No imagination
Sterilized and medicated
No imagination
