"Some Things Never Change"

"Some Things Never Change"



Hang your head
Hang your head
Hang your head
Hang your head

Some things never change
Some things never change

Hang your head
Hang your head

I heard the news today, oh boy
(Hang your head)
A thousand starry skies we've seen before
(Hang your head)

Small minds play at some big time games
And everybody else pays
Make no mistake, they're on the take
They like to keep it that way

Some things never change
Some things never change

I was the light today, oh boy
(Hang your head)
It came on flashing bright, in red and blue
(Hang your head)

The man steps in with a terminal grin
Blue skies turn to gray
Young men die and the children cry, why is
It always the same?
(Hang your head)

Life must be eaten, or at least bitten into
To get past the surface, the moment of truth
You know when it's right, it's sweet deep inside
It's real and it's better that some things don't change

I saw the news today, oh boy
(Hang your head)
A thousand pictures of the lies we live
(Hang your head)

Small minds play at some big time games
And everybody else pays
(Hang your head)
They're on the take, and they don't give breaks

They like to take it away
(Hang your head)
(Hang your head)

Some things never change
(Hang your head)
Some things never change
(Hang your head)

Man steps in with a terminal grin
Blue skies turn to gray
(Hang your head)
Young men die, and the chldren cry, why is

It always the same?
(Hang your head)
(Hang your head)
(Hang your head)

"Soo Bawlz"

"Soo Bawlz"



Pretty mongo
Everybody wants her toilet
Same old story
She don't let no-one near it

The way she teases them
It's such a shame
She's got all the huboons
Crying out her name

Soo bawls, soo bawls
She's got them howling
She's got them growling
Soo bawls, soo bawls
She's got them going clean out of their minds
Soo bawls, soo bawls
Soo bawls, soo bawls

Ain't a man in town
Who wouldn’t have her for his daughter
They'd all trade their brains
For one taste of her toilet water

The way she teases them
It's such a shame
She's got all the huboons
Crying out her name

Soo bawls, soo bawls
Soo bawls, soo bawls
Soo bawls, soo bawls
Soo bawls, soo bawls

One, two, three, four
Tell the people what she wore

They run in circles
Trying hard to call her up
But her phone's been disconnected
Since she sold her butt

The way she teases them
It's such a shame
She's got all the huboons
Crying out her name

Soo bawls, soo bawls
She's got them howling
She's got them growling
Soo bawls, soo bawls
She's got them going clean out of their minds
Soo bawls, soo bawls
Soo bawls, soo bawls

"Space Girl Blues"

"Space Girl Blues"



Space girls are as cold as ice
They'll kiss you once and kiss you twice

You'll shiver and shake and then turn blue
Next you got the space girl blues

I want your mechanism
Give me your mechanism

Space girls always smoke for taste
Swallow butts and leave no waste

Sado-maso is the rule
You want them they don't want you

Just to show that they don't care
They'll bite your face and burn the hair

The sun comes up the moon boo-hoos
Now you got the spacegirl blues

I need your mechanism
Destroy your mechanism

Destroy it

"Space Junk"

"Space Junk"



She was walking, all alone
Down the street, in the alley
Her name was Sally, I never touched her
She never saw it
When she was hit by, space junk
She was smashed by, space junk
She was killed by, space junk

In New York, Miami Beach
Heavy metal fell, in Cuba
Angola, Saudi Arabia
On Christmas Eve, said NORAD
A Soviet sputnik, hit Africa
India, in Venezuela
In Texas, Kansas
It's falling fast, Peru too
It keeps coming, it keeps coming, it keeps coming

And now I'm mad about, space junk
I'm all burned out about, space junk
Oooh walk and talk about, space junk
It smashed my baby's head, space junk
And now my Sally's dead, space junk

"Speed Racer"

"Speed Racer"



I'm Speed Racer and I drive real fast
He's Speed Racer and he drives real fast
He's Speed Racer and he drives real fast
I drive real fast - I'm gonna last

I'm a big pirate and I like to steal
He's a big pirate and he likes to steal
He's a big pirate and he likes to steal
I like to steal and I like to kill
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Go! Go! Go, Speed Racer!
Go! Go! Go, Speed Racer!
Go! Go! Go, Speed Racer!
Go! Go! Go, Speed Racer!

I'm a Barbie doll, but I got brains
She's a Barbie doll, but she's got brains
I've got brains and I like sex
Lots of brains and she likes sex

I'm your doctor and here's the bill
He's your doctor and here's your bill
Dr Steel and here's the bill
He likes to steal, so here's your bill

I'm Speed Racer and I drive real fast
I'm a big pirate and I like to steal
I'm a Barbie doll, but I got brains

I like to drink and I like to kill
Lots of brains and I like sex
Like to steal, here's your bill

"Spin The Wheel"

"Spin The Wheel"




When I was young I thought I stood
On solid ground, well that proved wrong
Everything I knew was true
Blew up in my face

Isn't life wonderful?
I really didn't think so
I took my chips and cashed them in
Let the games begin

Cos it's easy
It's perfectly easy
To spin that wheel round
Til you turn it all upside-down
It's easy
It's perfectly easy
To let that wheel spin
Til the numbers come back right to you

Now spin that wheel
There's nothing to lose
Spin that wheel
It's waiting for you
Now spin that wheel
Let the wheel decide
Spin that wheel
Go along for the ride
Spin the wheel
You lose!

When I was young and set to move
I started looking forward to
The fun that disappeared so soon
I wanted to check out

Isnt life wonderful?
I didnt used to think so
I took my chips and cashed them in
And started up again

Now it's easy
It's perfectly easy
To spin that wheel round
Til you turn it all upside-down
It's easy
It's perfectly easy
To let that wheel spin
Til the numbers come back right to you

"Step Up"

"Step Up"



Listen up ya'll
It's D-E-V-O

They say the night time is the right time
So now it's high time to choose your destiny
Take a hard line, let some fur fly
Learn to stay high above the stormy sea

They say the new age is the big rage
And the next stage will bring us to the edge
Now escape from your golden cage
Then turn the page on the demons in your head

You gotta step up
Get to the bottom of it
Dig deep and go behind the scenes
You gotta step up
Get to the bottom of it
Go deep, show 'em what it means
You gotta step up
Pull down and take a number
Hold firm, nip it in the bud
You gotta step up
Pull down and take a number
Be firm, figure out what's what
Step up

They say the right time is the night time
So it's about time to do what you please
Avoid the drive-by grip tight and steer right
Into some fine wine 'til you're buzzed and feelin' free

It's not over 'til the cows come home
It's not over 'til the fat lady sings
It's never too late to grab some gold
It's never too late to shake that thang

So you gotta step up
Get to the bottom of it
Dig deep and go behind the scenes
You gotta step up
Get to the bottom of it
Go deep, show 'em what it means
You gotta step up
Pull down and take a number
Hold firm, nip it in the bud
You gotta step up
Pull down and take a number
Be firm, figure out what's what
Step up

"Stop Look And Listen"

"Stop Look And Listen"



Stop, look and listen

I hear 'em coming
Can you hear 'em coming?
I see 'em coming
Can you see 'em coming?
I feel it coming
Gonna mess up your plumbing

It's D-E-V-O from O-H-I-O
It's D-E-V-O from O-H-I-O

Stop, look and listen

I hear 'em coming
Can you see 'em coming?
I feel it coming
Gonna mess up your plumbing

Oh twitching, twitching
Gonna mutate the system

It's D-E-V-O from O-H-I-O
It's D-E-V-O from O-H-I-O

Stop, look and listen

I hear 'em coming
Can you hear 'em coming?
I see 'em coming
Can you see 'em coming?
I feel it coming
Gonna mess up the plumbing

It's D-E-V-O from O-H-I-O
It's D-E-V-O from O-H-I-O

Stop, look and listen

"Strange Pursuit"

"Strange Pursuit"



Intersecting love lines
Drew us closer every day
Always kept your distance
When you felt my presence near you
love keeps on rolling over

Fly in retreat
I would follow without shame
A stupid spud staggering to the flame
To be had and rehad
Be a victim of the pain
Now it's strange, it's so strange
it's a strange pursuit
it's a strange pursuit
it's a strange pursuit

I come running like a fatboy
In lead shoes
But like a fatboy
Huff puffing after you
It's hopeless to hope for
The one thing that I'm wanting
'Cause it's strange
It's so very strange

It's a strange pursuit
Darling, I'm dazzled
But you know I'm too Frazzled
It's a strange pursuit
Makin' my mind up
While it lies in little pieces
It's a strange pursuit

You know it's getting tough
When you're getting real rough
It's a strange pursuit
Darling, I'm dazzled
But you know I'm too frazzled
It's a strange pursuit
Makin' my mind up
While it lies in little pieces
It s a strange pursuit

"Stuck In A Loop"

"Stuck In A Loop"



When you hear woulda, shoulda, coulda
Gotta think, mighta been, in dpite of
Low down tired of being a fighter
Turn around put it all behind you

Caught in a trap and you can't walk out
It's in your mind so you can't walk out
Now don't get stuck, stuck in a look again
Well, you're gonna get stuck, stuck in a loop again

When you hear, maybe, baby, someday
Gotta say, when do I get it my way
Freeze-dried waitin' for the big day
Get wise take another freeway

Caught in a trap and you can't walk out
It's in your mind so you can't walk out

Just when you think, you've got it beat
It sets you up and knocks you down
Try to blow it off or trade it in
And you'll wind up in the lost and found

And then you're stuck, stuck in a loop again
Well, you're gonna get stuck, stuck in a loop again

Maybe random, maybe a scam
Fate lays waste to the greatest plans, that's life
Talk about karma moan about sin
Just don't get stuck in that loop again 'cause that's life
