[death tribble]

I won't let you down

I will not give you up

Gotta have some faith in the sound

It's the one good thing that I've got

I won't let you down

So please don't give me up

‘Cause I would really, really love to stick around, oh yeah

 

Heaven knows I was just a young boy

Didn't know what I wanted to be

I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy

And I guess it was enough for me

To win the race? A prettier face!

Brand new clothes and a big fat place

On your rock and roll TV

But today the way I play the game is not the same

No way

Think I'm gonna get myself happy

 

I think there's something you should know

I think it's time I told you so

There's something deep inside of me

There's someone else I've got to be

Take back your picture in a frame

Take back your singing in the rain

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

 

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me yea yea

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

You've gotta give for what you take

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

You've gotta give for what you take

 

Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy

What a kick just a buddy and me

We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy

We were living in a fantasy

We won the race

Got out of the place

I went back home got a brand new face

For the boys on MTV

But today the way I play the game has got to change

Oh yeah

Now I'm gonna get myself happy

 

I think there's something you should know

I think it's time I stopped the show

There's something deep inside of me

There's someone I forgot to be

Take back your picture in a frame

Don't think that I'll be back again

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

 

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me, yea yea

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

You've gotta give for what you take

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

You've gotta give for what you take

 

Well it looks like the road to heaven

But it feels like the road to hell

When I knew which side my bread was buttered

I took the knife as well

Posing for another picture

Everybody's got to sell

But when you shake your ass

They notice fast

And some mistakes were built to last

 

That's what you get

That's what you get

That's what you get

I say that's what you get

That's what you get for changing your mind

That's what you get for changing your mind

 

That's what you get

That's what you get

And after all this time

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes

Do not make the man

 

All we have to do now is take these lies

And make them true somehow

All we have to see is that i don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me yea yea

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

You've got to give for what you take

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

You've got to give for what you take

Yea you've got to give for what you, give for what you give

 

May not be what you want from me

Just the way it's got to be

Lose the face now

I've got to live I've got to live

[death tribble]

I'm not a juvenile delinquent

No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no

No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no

No-no-no, I'm not a juvenile delinquent

Do the things that's right

And you'll do nothing wrong

Life will be so nice, you'll be in paradise

I know, because I'm not a juvenile delinquent

 

But listen boys and girls

You need not be blue

And life is what you make of it

It all depends on you

I know, because I'm not a juvenile delinquent

 

It's easy to be good, it's hard to be bad

Stay out of trouble, and you be glad

Take this tip from me, and you will see

How happy you will be

Oh-oh, boys and girls, this is my story

And I add all of my glory

I know, because I'm not a juvenile delinquent

 

It's easy to be good, it's hard to be bad

Stay out of trouble, and you be glad

Take this tip from me, and you will see

How happy you will be

Oh-oh, boys and girls, this is my story

And I add all of my glory

I know, because I'm not a juvenile delinquent

 

No-no-no, I'm not a juvenile

No-no-no, I'm not a juvenile

[death tribble]

I'd say love was a magical thing

I'd say love would keep us from pain

Had I been there, had I been there

 

I would promise you all of my life

But to lose you would cut like a knife

So I don't dare, no I don't dare

 

'Cause I've never come close in all of these years

You are the only one to stop my tears

And I'm so scared, I'm so scared

 

Take me back in time maybe I can forget

Turn a different corner and we never would have met

Would you care

 

I don't understand it, for you it's a breeze

Little by little you've brought me to my knees

Don't you care

 

No I've never come close in all of these years

You are the only one to stop my tears

I'm so scared of this love

 

And if all that there is is this fear of being used

I should go back to being lonely and confused

If I could, I would, I swear

[death tribble]

Strangers in the night exchanging glances

Wond'ring in the night what were the chances

We'd be sharing love before the night was through

 

Something in your eyes was so inviting

Something in your smile was so exciting

Something in my heart told me I must have you

 

Strangers in the night

Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night

Up to the moment when we said our first hello little did we know

Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

 

and

 

Ever since that night we've been together

Lovers at first sight, in love forever

It turned out so right for strangers in the night

 

Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

 

Ever since that night we've been together

Lovers at first sight, in love forever

It turned out so right for strangers in the night

[death tribble]

Free the people - don't make em wait,

Pity the people don't make a mistake,

Let go your pressmen, undo your press gangs,

Hold your head high make one honest stand.

Cos you know what they want,

And you're here for the grace of God,

You send your generals to the front,

Any uprising will succumb to your guns.

 

You took free speech from the people that spoke,

Hungary is hungry and the people are broke,

Imperial Wizard - salt mine king,

What kind of state of mind must your state be in,

 

Cause you know what they want,

And you're here for the grace of God,

You send your generals to the front,

Any uprising will succumb to your guns.

 

Too many people don't feel like they're free,

Your high ideals look the lowest too me,

Open your windows, let the sun shine on in,

There's more to life than killing, killing, killing...

Cos you know what they want,

And you're here for the grace of God,

You send your generals to the front,

[death tribble]

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for.

Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

 

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.

In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

 

Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it makes me wonder.

 

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,

And my spirit is crying for leaving.

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,

And the voices of those who stand looking.

 

Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

 

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,

Then the piper will lead us to reason.

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long,

And the forests will echo with laughter.

 

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,

It's just a spring clean for the May queen.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run

There's still time to change the road you're on.

And it makes me wonder.

 

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,

The piper's calling you to join him,

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

 

And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our soul.

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How everything still turns to gold.

And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last.

When all are one and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll.

 

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

[death tribble]

Shiny happy people laughing

 

Meet me in the crowd, people, people

Throw your love around, love me, love me

Take it into town, happy, happy

Put it in the ground where the flowers grow 

Gold and silver shine

 

Shiny happy people holding hands

Shiny happy people holding hands

Shiny happy people laughing 

 

Everyone around, love them, love them

Put it in your hands, take it, take it

There's no time to cry, happy, happy

Put it in your heart where tomorrow shines

Gold and silver shine

 

Shiny happy people holding hands

Shiny happy people holding hands

Shiny happy people laughing 

 

Whoa, here we go

 

Shiny happy people holding hands

Shiny happy people holding hands

Shiny happy people laughing

 

Shiny happy people holding hands

Shiny happy people holding hands

Shiny happy people laughing

 

Shiny happy people holding hands

Shiny happy people holding hands

Shiny happy people laughing

 

Shiny happy people holding hands

People, happy people

People

[death tribble]

I made it through the wilderness

Somehow I made it through

Didn't know how lost I was

Until I found you

 

I was beat incomplete

I'd been had, I was sad and blue

But you made me feel

Yeah, you made me feel

Shiny and new

 

Like a virgin

Touched for the very first time

Like a virgin

When your heart beats [after first time, "With your heartbeat"]

Next to mine

 

Gonna give you all my love, boy

My fear is fading fast

Been saving it all for you

'Cause only love can last

 

You're so fine and you're mine

Make me strong, yeah you make me bold

Oh your love thawed out

Yeah, your love thawed out

What was scared and cold

 

Like a virgin

Touched for the very first time

Like a virgin

With your heartbeat

Next to mine

 

Oooh, oooh, oooh

 

You're so fine and you're mine

I'll be yours 'till the end of time

'Cause you made me feel

Yeah, you made me feel

I've nothing to hide

 

Like a virgin

Touched for the very first time

Like a virgin

With your heartbeat

Next to mine

 

Like a virgin, ooh, ooh

Like a virgin

Feels so good inside

When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you love me

 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Ooh, baby

Can't you hear my heart beat

For the very first time ?

[death tribble]

Once upon a time you dressed so fine

Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you ?

People call say 'beware doll, you're bound to fall'

You thought they were all kidding you

You used to laugh about

Everybody that was hanging out

Now you don't talk so loud

Now you don't seem so proud

About having to be scrounging your next meal

 

How does it feel, how does it feel ?

To be without a home

Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

 

Ahh you've gone to the finest schools, alright Miss Lonely

But you know you only used to get juiced in it

Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street

And now you're gonna have to get used to it

You say you never compromise

With the mystery tramp, but now you realize

He's not selling any alibis

As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes

And say do you want to make a deal ?

 

How does it feel, how does it feel ?

To be on your own, with no direction home

A complete unknown, like a rolling stone

 

Ah you never turned around to see the frowns

On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you

You never understood that it ain't no good

You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you

You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat

Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat

Ain't it hard when you discovered that

He really wasn't where it's at

After he took from you everything he could steal

 

How does it feel, how does it feel ?

To have you on your own, with no direction home

Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

 

Ahh princess on a steeple and all the pretty people

They're all drinking, thinking that they've got it made

Exchanging all precious gifts

But you better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it babe

You used to be so amused

At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used

Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse

When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose

You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal 

 

How does it feel, ah how does it feel ?

To be on your own, with no direction home

Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

[death tribble]

Johny's in the basement

Mixing up the medicine

I'm on the pavement

Thinking about the government

The man in a trench coat

Badge out, laid off

Says he's got a bad cough

Wants to get it paid off

Look out kid

It's somethin' you did

God knows when

But you're doin' it again

You better duck down the alley way

Lookin' for a new friend

A man in a coon-skin cap

In a pig pen

Wants eleven dollar bills

You only got ten.

 

Maggie comes fleet foot

Face full of black soot

Talkin' that the heat put

Plants in the bed but

The phone's tapped anyway

Maggie says that many say

They must bust in early May

Orders from the DA

Look out kid

Don't matter what you did

Walk on your tip toes

Don't tie no bows

Better stay away from those

That carry around a fire hose

Keep a clean nose

Wash the plain clothes

You don't need a weather man

To know which way the wind blows.

 

Get sick, get well

Hang around an ink well

Ring bell, hard to tell

If anything's gonna sell

Try hard, get barred

Get back, write Braille

Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you fail

Look out kid

You're gonna get hit

But losers, cheaters

Six-time users

Hang around the theaters

Girl by the whirlpool is

Lookin' for a new fool

Don't follow leaders

Watch the parkin' meters.

 

Ah get born, keep warm

Short pants, romance, learn to dance

Get dressed, get blessed

Try to be a success

Please her, please him, buy gifts

Don't steal, don't lift

Twenty years of schoolin'

And they put you on the day shift

Look out kid

They keep it all hid

Better jump down a manhole

Light yourself a candle

Don't wear sandals

Try to avoid the scandals

Don't wanna be a bum

You better chew gum

The pump don't work

'Cause the vandals took the handles.

[death tribble]

How many roads must a man walk down

Before you can call him a man ?

How many seas must a white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand ?

Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly

Before they're forever banned ?

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

 

Yes, how many years can a mountain exist

Before it's washed to the sea ?

Yes, how many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free ?

Yes, how many times can a man turn his head

Pretending he just doesn't see ?

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

 

Yes, how many times must a man look up

Before he can really see the sky ?

Yes, how many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry ?

Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows

That too many people have died ?

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

The mama pajama rolled out of bed
And she ran to the police station
When the papa found out he began to shout
And he started the investigation

It's against the law
It was against the law
What the mama saw
It was against the law

The mama looked down and spit on the ground
Everytime my name gets mentioned
The papa said oy if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention
Well I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard

In a couple of days they come and
Take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest
Come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard

[Greywind]

When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's
a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together
for one night
I know they'd never match
my sweet imagination
Everything looks worse
in black and white

Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair

And one could tell by how we walked that he'd drunk more than his share

He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet

Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

 

Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh

He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

 

About that time two young and lovely girls just happend by

And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye

"See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built

I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt"

 

Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh

"I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt"

 

They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be

Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see

And there behold, for them to see, beneath his Scottish skirt

Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth

 

Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh

Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth

 

They marveled for a moment, then one said, "We must be gone

Let's leave a present for our friend, before we move along"

As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon, tied into a bow

Around the bonnie star, the Scot's kilt did lift and show

 

Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh

Around the bonnie star, the Scot's kilt did lift and show

 

Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards the trees

Behind a bush, he lift his kilt and gawks at what he sees

And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes.

"O lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize!"

 

Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh

"O lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize!"

Tu madre cuando te pario

Y te quito al mundo

Coracon ella no te dio

Para amar segundo,

 

Adio,

Adio Querida,

No quero la vida,

Me l'amagrates tu,

 

Va, busacate otro amor,

Aharva otras puertas,

Aspera otro ardor,

Que para mi sos muerta.

She's a model and she's looking good
I'd like to take her home that's understood
She plays hard to get, she smiles from time to time
It only takes a camera to change her mind

 

She's going out tonight, loves drinking just champagne
And she has been checking nearly all the men
She's playing her game and you can hear them say
She is looking good, for beauty we will pay

 

She's posing for consumer products now and then
For every camera she gives the best she can
I saw her on the cover of a magazine
Now she's a big success, I want to meet her again

 

Sie ist ein Modell und sie sieht gut aus

Ich nähme sie heut' gerne mit zu mir nach Haus

Sie wirkt so kühl, an sie kommt niemand 'ran

Doch vor der Kamera, da zeigt sie was sie kann

 

Sie trinkt im Nachtklub immer Sekt (korrekt)

Und hat hier alle Männer abgecheckt

Im Scheinwerferlicht ihr junges Lächeln strahlt

Sie sieht gut aus, und Schönheit wird bezahlt

 

Sie stellt sich zu Schau für das Konsumprodukt

Und wird von millionen Augen angekuckt

Ihr neues Titelbild ist einfach Fabelhaft

Ich muss sie wiedersehen, ich weiss sie hat's geschafft

[death tribble]

I was fourteen

She was twelve

Father traveled, hers as well

Europa

Down the beaches

Hand in hand

Twelfth of never on the sand

Then war took her away

We swore a vow that day:

We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa

Oh my country, Europa

I'll stand beside you in the rain, Europa

Ta republique

 

Nine years after, who'd I see

On the cover of a magazine ?

Europa

Buy her singles and see all her films

Paste her pictures on my windowsill

But that's not quite the same

It isn't, is it ?

Europa my old friend

 

We'll be the Pirate Twins again

Europa

Oh my country.

Europa

I'll walk beside you in the rain

Europa

Ta republique

 

Blew in from the hoverport

She was back in London

Pushed past the paper men

Calling her name

She smiled for the cameras

As a bodyguard grabbed me

Then her eyes were gone forever

As they drove her away

We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa

Oh my country, Europa

Pressed Rat and Warthog have closed down their shop.

They didn't want to, 'twas all they had got.

Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,

And Pressed Rat's collection of dog legs and feet.

 

Sadly they left, telling no one goodbye.

Pressed Rat wre red jodhpurs, Warthog a striped tie.

Between them they carried a three-legged sack,

Went straight round the corner and never came back.

 

The bad captain madman had ordered their fate.

He laughed and stomped off with a nautical gate.

The gate turned into a deroga tree,

And his peg-leg got woodworm and broke into three.

This foolish game, oh it's still the same

The notes go dancin' off in the air

And don't you believe it's true, the music is all for you

It's really all we've got to share

'Cause rockin' and rollin', it's only howlin' at the moon

It's only howlin' at the moon

Now here's a dance you should know !

When the lights are down low !

Grab your baby

then go !

Do the Hucklebuck

do the Hucklebuck

 

If you don't know how to do it

Then you're out of luck !

Shove your baby in

twist her all around

Then you start a twisting mad and moving all around.

Wiggle like a snake

waddle like a duck

 

That's what you do when you do the Hucklebuck.

Here's a dance you should know !

When the lights are down low !

Grab your baby then go !

A little bit of that

a little bit of this

 

If you don't know how to do it

Ask your little sis.

Shove your baby in

twist her all around

Then you start a shaking in and moving all around.

Wiggle like a snake

waddle like a duck

 

That's what you do when you do the Hucklebuck.

They put a parking lot on a piece of land
When the supermarket used to stand
Before that they put up a bowling alley
On the site that used to be the local pally
That's where the big bands used to come and play
My sister went there on a Saturday
Come dancing
All her boyfriends used to come and call
Why not come dancing, it's only natural
Another Saturday, another date
She would be ready but she's always make him wait
In the hallway, in anticipation
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek
Come dancing
That's how they did it when I was just a kid
And when they said come dancing
My sister always did
My sister should have come in a midnight
And my mom would always sit up and wait
It always ended up in a big row
When my sister used to get home late
Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate
The day they knocked down the pally
My sister stood and cried
The day they knocked down the pally
Part of my childhood died, just died
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band
And there's a car park where the pally used to stand
My sister's married and she lives on an estate
Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait
She knows they get away with things she never could
But if I asked her I wonder if she would
Come dancing
Come on sister, have yourself a ball
Don't be afraid to come dancing
It's only natural
Come dancing
Just like the pally on a Saturday
And all her friends will come dancing
Where the big bands used to play

[death tribble]

Let me take you down

To testify

Under the brow of a sparkling sky

We'll dance away

A distant day

And shout our sins

In a passion play

Over we go

Diving for pearls

Over we go

From the edge of the World

Let the fire fall in

The footsteps we leave

Painted on the ground

We'll watch the stars

Come crashing down

Upon our heads

Like a madding crown

Over we go

Diving for pearls

Over we go

From the edge of the World

Let me take you down

To testify

Under the brow of a sparkling sky

We'll dance away

'Til the day is done

Then rise again

To unwrap the Sun

Over we go

Diving for pearls

Over we go

From the edge of the World

This is the song from the edge of the World

[Pariah]

Do you want to be an angel

Do you want to be a star

Do you want to play some magic on my guitar?

Do you want to be a poet

Do you want to be my string?

You could be anything

 

Do you want to be the lover of another undercover?

You could even be the man on the moon

 

Do you want to be the player

Do you want to be the string?

Let me just tell you something

It just don`t mean a thing

 

You see it really doesn't matter

When you`re buried in disguise

By the dark glass on your eyes

Though your flesh has crystallized

Still you turn me on

 

Do you want to be the pillow where I lay my head

Do you want to be the feathers lying in my bed?

Do you want to be a color cover magazine

Create a scene

 

Every day a little sadder

A little madder?

Someone get me a ladder

 

Do you want to be the singer

Do you want to be the song?

Let me tell you something

You just couldn't be more wrong

 

You see, I really have to tell you

That it all gets so intense

From my experience

It just doesn't seem to make sense

Still you turn me on
