"Human Bondage Den"

"Human Bondage Den"


Hey ho strike
Hey ho strike

O lucky lucky lucky me
I can live here in luxury
Can't answer your simplicity (oh no)
You've got to stop your grumbling
And all that human bondage den
And try to make a man of me

Hey ho strike one
Last one in's a son of a gun

Hey ho strike two
Can't fight here, this is the war room

Oh never never let me go
The flaming flesh that wonder hole
Where violence equals zero (oh no)
You've got to stop your grumbling
And all that human bondage den
Beef cake and custard to a big hero

Hey ho strike one
Last one in's a son of a gun

Hey ho strike two
Can't fight here, this is the war room

Can't fight here, this is the war room

So kiss me quickly who'll oblige?
Oh come along and don't be shy
Don't be all surface no insides (oh no)
You've got to stop your grumbling
And all that human bondage den
So swear the heat in baby
No neck ties

Hey ho strike one
Last one in's a son of a gun

Hey ho strike two
Can't fight here, this is the war room

Hey ho strike three
Action stations I'm ready

Hey ho strike four
My durango supercar

Hey ho strike five
Wake up now its time to die

Hey ho strike six
Flopnik kaputnik

Hey ho strike seven
Kissing at five, necking at eleven

Hey ho strike eight
Decided to co-operate

Hey ho strike nine
Gonna have us a crackin'good time

Hey ho strike ten
Flowers, bullets, zen and zen

"I Know They Know"

"I Know They Know"


1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

What's the point of a fight to the death
When you fought them all and you beat the rest

Listen such a mountain to show you
Things are not what they seem
Very rarely the things I say
Are the right things
Are the light things

They know I know they know
They know I know they know

Your heart's on the wrong side
Desillusion creeps in
Very rarely the things I say
Are the right things
Are the light things

They know I know they know
They know I know they know

Now any intention of rejuvination is over
Bringing me into a dinosaur's life can be hard
I am a monster like anyone else if you push me
This fabulous dream is no scheme to be so fully marred

Such a mountain to show you
Things are not what they seem
Very rarely the things I say
Are the right things
Are the light things

They know I know they know
They know I know they know

"If You Keep On"

"If You Keep On"


I'll take it round
Round by round
And I will pay if you don't mind
So just say hello
Or even stare
But don't talk about me
When I'm standing there
So you run your life
And I'll run mine
Don't ask how I am
You're no friend of mine
I've made my own bed
It suits me fine
I don't know your name
But you sure know mine
I'm not hard to get on with
You'd try the patience
Of a saint
If you keep on talking to me
With all of your crude advice
I'll talk to you my friend
And it won't be nice
If you keep on doing what you're doing
I'm gonna vexed with you
If you keep on doing what you're doing
You're gonna be next
I'll take it round
Round by round
Don't want to hear bells when I hit the ground
After awhile you get used to pain
If you knock me down
I'll just get up again
Now these things I say
Sound hard for you
Well that's just because
You've got no point of view
Some people talk and never do
And that's the big difference
Between me and you
If you keep doing what you're doing......

"Image Of Yourself"

"Image Of Yourself"


You're living up to someone's image of yourself
Crawling like a helpless infant on the floor
You turn down bread for the want of a steak
What's worth waking up in a cold sweat for?
You know, it could have been good
And it could have been fine, you know
You're living up to someone's image of yourself
Devastated they don't really give a damn
As you wait around for someone to do it all for you
You know they gonna make you pay through the nose
On a very rare occasions that they do
The more innocent you are
The more you will learn, you say
You're living up to someone's image of yourself
Yeah, You're living up to someone's image of yourself
You're living up to someone's image of yourself
Oh you
Don't need opinion
Don't need a mirror
Believe that you're enough
And you
Tapped at my shoulder
Captured my heart
I thought your name was love
Thought your name was love
You
Don't need opinion
Don't need a mirror
Believe that you're enough
And you
Tapped at my shoulder
Captured my heart
I thought your name was love
I thought your name was love
Its just an image of yourself
Just an image of yourself

"It Doesn't Matter"

"It Doesn't Matter"


I'm sick of coming home and watching TV
I just can't stand it when you sit next to me

It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
I'll get by with another
B-b-baby go to hell

Our perspiration's brought the wallpaper down
I just can't stand it when you walk into town

It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
'Cos I'll get by with another
B-b-baby go to (like this)

There's so much trouble when we go for a bite
They say the food is off and they start to fight

It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
I'll get by with another
B-b-baby you -
Yes you do you -
Oh oh oh oh oh you -
Like this

I'd like to kiss you baby, fall for your charms
But that's all over when you lift up your arms

"Jolly Roger"

"Jolly Roger"


In days of old, when ships were bold
Just like the men who sailed them
And if they showed us disrespect
We'd tie them up and flail them
Often men of low degree
And often men of steel
They'd make you walk the plank alone
Or haul you 'round the keel

[CHORUS]
Hoist the Jolly Roger
Hoist the Jolly Roger
Hoist the Jolly Roger
It's your money that we want
And your money we shall have

[CHORUS]

Of all the pirates on the seas
The worst of them was Blackbeard
So damnable a fiend from Hell
He was the one they most feared
Any man who sailed with him
Was taking quite a chance
He'd hang them from the gallows
Just to see if they could dance (ha, ha)

[CHORUS]

[CHORUS]

"Juanito The Bandito"

"Juanito The Bandito"


Lock up your shed because Juanito's coming
Just crossed over into Mexico
Lock up your pigsties and your daughters
'Cos if it moves, you know old Juanito

Young ladies he likes to ravish
He knows how to make them wet
And if he can't, he know he dig himself a hole
Or go looking for your favorite pet, olé

They call him Juanito the Bandito
Lock up your things, you'll be robbed
They call him Juanito
The randy bandito
Oh, how many people have sobbed his name?

He wears a soft sun-soaked sombrero
A droopy moustache to his chin
He will hold up stab or shoot you
So that he can get it in okay

(Alright) they call him Juanito the Bandito
Lock up your things, you'll be robbed
They call him Juanito
The randy bandito
Oh, how many people have sobbed his name?

My son, I tell you... don't bother
I'm going downtown with the guys okay?

"Kick"

"Kick"


I was walking down the street
I saw a man with one arm
I was walking down the same street, same street
I saw a man with one arm
One day, two men, one arm......KICK!
I was sitting on the underground
I saw a young lady sigh
I was sitting on the same train, same train
I saw a check lady cry
One day, two men, one arm......KICK!

"Killer In The Home"

"Killer In The Home"


I live the life that I've been left
I leave most things unspoken
But deep inside Geronimo
Is tearing me apart

I've seen him in the streets
And I've seen him in the pictures
Killer in the home
Killer in the home

Now's the time I must digress
From going through the motions
Take my head out of its sling
Free the warrior

I'll fight him in my dreams
And I'll fight him till he kills me
Killer in the home
Killer in the home

I live the life that I've been left
I leave most things unspoken
But deep inside Geronimo
Is tearing me apart

I've seen him in the streets
And I've seen him in the pictures
Killer in the home
Killer in the home

(oh well) They cut you in half with a gun
And they give you a bandaid
(yeah) They gut you in half with a gun
And they give you a bandaid

Killer in the home
Killer in the home
Killer in the home
Killer in the home

Oh well they cut you in half with a gun
And they give you a bandaid
Yeah they gut you in half with a gun
And they give you a bandaid

Killer, killer, killer...

Killer in the home
Killer in the home
Killer in the home
Killer in the home
Killer in the home
Killer in the home
Killer in the home
Killer...
Is the home

"Kings Of The Wild Frontier"


A new royal family, a wild nobility
We are the family
A new royal family, a wild nobility
We are the family
A new royal family, a wild nobility
We are the family

I feel beneath the white
There is a redskin suffering
From centuries of taming
I feel beneath the white
There is a redskin suffering
From centuries of taming

No method in our madness (yeah)
Just pride about our maner (yeah)
Antpeople are the warriors (yeah)
Antmusic is the banner (yeah)

We are the family (yeah)
A new royal family, a wild nobility

And even when you're healthy
And your colour schemes delight
Down below those dandy clothes
You're just a shade too white
Shade too white
Shade too white
Shade too white

I feel beneath the white
There is a redskin suffering
From centuries of taming
I feel beneath the white
There is a redskin suffering
From centuries of taming
