"Denial"

"Denial"



In the face of all thats obvious I continue to wreck my life... So set in my ways it's impossible to do whats good... Smokin, jokin + boozin my time away Just livin for the pain + lies "caught in denial"... Look in the mirror to only see a liars face in front of me I've tried so hard to heed the warnings my heart is turning. On with self slaught, the barfly gives in... once again the bottle is judge + jury He's caught in a struggle that calls for his life... so caught up in his own self destruction, "caught in denial"... Look in the mirror to only see a liars face in front of me I've tried so hard to heed the warnings my heart is turning. I Made my own bed I'll sit in the mess this poison booze lifestyle is a dear friend And I know it's a lie, but it's all that I have I'm going right for the end with total abandon...! Look in the mirror to only see a liars face in front of me I've tried so hard to heed the warnings my heart is turning.
It's real.

"Devils Brigade"

"Devils Brigade"


You've got no one to defend you, you're out on your own
Still fighting on the corner, you can never go home
In this world of temptation, in this city of sin
There's nothing that can save you, but a strength from within

[Chorus:]
Because they'll do it again, they've done it before,
The Devils Brigade
Headed down a dead end road with the Devils Brigade
You're being led astray

The crew will not rest until your life's in the piss
Stop and think of you're future, the chances you'll miss
Looking back on a resume of corruption and crime
Cause you wasted your youth, taken down in your prime

[Chorus]

Dying to belong though it's tearing you apart
A bullet to the head and a knife to the heart
Are the tools of the trade in this cold life of crime
A smart, decent kid who has now lost his mind

"Do Or Die"

"Do Or Die"



The once steel tough fabric of a Union man Was sold and Bartered away
Fed to money wolves in the Reagen years,
Caught in a drift in greedy nintetie's days So inside this song is our rally cry.

Your dreams are in danger, and "We Must Rise"
Our time has come we are under the gun "It's Do or Die".

It's not a rebel cry of some socialist Scheme to push for human rights
Just the facts an obvious mentioned on the Behalf of the working man,
for his family and his livelihood.

Your dreams are in danger, and "We Must Rise"
Our time has come we are under the gun "It's Do or Die".

The once steel tough fabric of the union man was sold and bartered away
Fed to money wolves in the Reagen years,
Caught adrift in greedy nineties days.

Your dreams are in danger, and "We Must Rise"
Our time has come we are under the gun "It's Do or Die".

"Don't Tear Us Apart"

"Don't Tear Us Apart"



At the first sign of hardship
Many bite the hand that feeds
And when there's trouble
Others simply cut and run
And when there's fear
A man will slit the throat of his neighbor
In a desperate search for comfort and love

Don't tear us apart
Don't tear us apart
Don't tear us apart
Don't tear us apart

Will you show some heart
And end this trouble here where it starts
You won't tear us apart

When your spirits are down

And you've lost your way
And man's character once again falls on its face
Will somebody please
Come aid those helpless in need
And renew our faith in this human race

Don't tear us apart
Don't tear us apart
Don't tear us apart
Don't tear us apart

Will you show some heart

And end this trouble here where it starts
You won't tear us apart

Don't tear us apart
You've gotta show some heart
Don't tear us apart
You've gotta show some heart

At the first sign of hardship
Many bite the hand that feeds
And when there's trouble
Others simply cut and run
And when there's fear
A man will slit the throat of his neighbor
In a desperate search for comfort and love

Don't tear us apart
Don't tear us apart
Don't tear us apart
Don't tear us apart

Will you show some heart

And end this trouble here where it starts
You won't tear us apart

Will you show some heart

And end this trouble here where it starts
You won't tear us apart

"Echoes On "A." Street"

"Echoes On "A." Street"


Anxious nights give way to daylight
She don't cry and she don't complain
To honor, cherish, protect and keep you
She took your problems and took your name
All she wants to do is stroll down the island
She don't care if there's wind or there's rain
Only a women of her stature
Could shield you from the venom of this town's disdain

And she'll wait by your side
She'll never let you out of her sight
And she'll wait by your side,
You're the one thing that matters in her life

As she waits patiently by the window
She knows you'll be coming home soon
She'll sit quiet there and won't go
Her dedication can't be moved
She hears the echoes marching down "A" street
Like footsteps on the cobblestone
A pace to heavy to be her master
They pass her by and she's still alone

And she'll wait by your side
She'll never let you out of her sight
And she'll wait by your side,
You're the one thing that matters in her life

[Chorus:]
Shannon I'm coming home
[x2]

She hears the echoes marching down "A" street
Like footsteps on the cobblestone
A pace to heavy to be her master
They pass her by and she's still alone

And she'll wait by your side
She'll never let you out of her sight
And she'll wait by your side,
You're the one thing that matters in her life

[Chorus:]
Shannon I'm coming home
[x2]

[Chorus:]
Shannon I'm coming home

"End Of The Night"

"End Of The Night"



The ember of the fire is starting to fade
But it's now that I'm at my best
Give the angel on my shoulder
A break for the night
'Cause the devil ain't getting no rest
I've got thousands of stories
You've heard them before
Yet I'll tell them again and again
Come on, pull up a stool now
And buy me a drink
And please think of me as a friend

We'll live for the weekend
Each city's the same
There's a bar on the corner
Where they don't know your name
There's plenty of drink
They've been saving your chair
It's our second home
We ain't going nowhere

It's the end
End of the night
But we ain't goin' home

It's the end
End of the night
But we ain't goin' home

It's the end
End of the night
But we ain't goin' home

This life it ain't easy
Still we've managed to win
There's times we've been knocked down
Yeah, we've led with our chin
We're generous guys
With our hearts on our sleeves
Misunderstood, though the boss disagrees
We can't catch a break
Wrote the book on bad luck
We'd hold down a job if they didn't all suck

It's the end
End of the night
But we ain't goin' home

It's the end
End of the night
But we ain't goin' home

It's the end
End of the night
But we ain't goin' home

The bartender's spoken
And he's made it clear
If you ain't going home
Then you ain't staying here
You can't shut us off
And you won't turn us down
There's plenty of joints who'll be grateful
To have us around

It's the end
End of the night
But we ain't goin' home

It's the end
End of the night
But we ain't goin' home

It's the end
End of the night
But we ain't goin' home

You've beaten me black
And you've beaten me blue
The scars are well worn on my face
I've packed up the bags
And I've sulked off in shame
For one last walk of disgrace

It's the end
End of the night
But we ain't goin' home

It's the end
End of the night
But we ain't goin' home

It's the end
End of the night
But we ain't goin' home

"Fairmount Hill"

"Fairmount Hill"



Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by
My mind was bent on rambling to Boston I did fly
I stepped on board a vision and I followed with the wind
When next I came to anchor at the rocks on Fairmount Hill

It was on the 23rd of June the day before the fair
When Boston's sons and daughters and friends assembled there
The young, the old, the brave, and the bold
Came their duty to fulfill
At the parish church on Thatcher, a mile from Fairmount Hill

I went to see old friends there, to see what they might say
The old ones were all dead and gone, the young ones turning gray
I met the broker Hughes, he's as odd as ever still
See I used to crash at his mother's house, when I hung on Fairmount Hill

I paid a flying visit to my first and only love
She's as white as any lily, and as gentle as a dove
She threw her arm around me saying, "Andy I love you still"
Oh, she's one miss Bazo Bailey, the pride of Fairmount Hill

I dreamt I'd fought a violent war for the hand of this darling gal
Against an angry jealous foe by the name of Danny Gill
The clock it rang in the morning, it rang both loud and shrill
When I awoke in California, many miles from Fairmount Hill

"Famous For Nothing"

"Famous For Nothing"



The barrel fire's fading
My pals are disappearing
Another night is passing but I won't go
It's 2AM at townie
and things are going my way
Three buds, a glove and a foot of snow
There's two little shits
Selling joints on the hill
And the kids down the lot
Are burning cruisers for a thrill
See, we had each other
It was us against the world
Famous for nothing
Yeah, nothing was our world

Well these lies won't save me
Don't you know, don't you know
From the time that made me
Here we go, here we go

The courts are filling up
All the kids are coming down
For a head start on the troubles
Of a long night on the town
Yeah, thank God it's Saturday
And half my problems go away
Sure the big ones on the way
But I know how to handle them
9 to 3 on weekdays
On the hour Sundays
The good lord was calling me
But I wasn't up
From the convent to the rectory
And over in the sacristy
I'm a goddamn travesty
And that's just my luck

Well these lies won't save me
Don't you know, don't you know
From the time that made me
Here we go, here we go

Here we go! Yeah!

Their gang went my way for basketball
My gang went their way for alcohol
When we met it wasn't pretty at all
Still the bells of St. Mary's kept ringing

9 to 3 on weekdays
On the hour Sundays
Jesus Christ was calling me

Here we go! Yeah!

Their gang went my way for basketball
My gang went their way for alcohol
When we met it wasn't pretty at all
Still the bells of St. Mary's kept ringing

Their gang went my way for basketball
My gang went their way for alcohol
When we met it wasn't pretty at all
Still the bells of St. Mary's were ringing
The bells of St. Mary's were ringing

"Far Away Coast"

"Far Away Coast"


Here in the trenches the fist of the Beast
For fear of an atmosphere poisoned deceased
With a gas mask to keep me from breathing my death
It's American soil I hope for at best
But the duty I serve can't begin to compare
To my ancestors battles and wars through the years
Though the loneliness strikes like an enemy shell
I pray for my home but still sit here in hell.

[Chorus:]
Sail away to a place that's unknown
Taken away from my friends and my home
To a place they call sacred
A place I call hell
I long for that corner I once knew so well.

Go to the grind it's all that I have
Work on and on with nothing to show
But a graying face in this dying place
That's a lock in my solitude
I think of a place on a faraway coast
Where friends are so dear and there's reason to toast
A cloudy image of a Middle East land
Comes down and wrecks my hopeful thoughts.

[Chorus]

[Repeat first verse]

[Chorus]
