"Wicked Sensitive Crew"

"Wicked Sensitive Crew"


Well it's all gone to hell now the wimps have gangs
Pop punk tough guys with neck tattoos
Well if you guys are hard then I'd rather be soft
Man I gotta find me some seriously sensitive dudes

[Chorus:]
Hey! Ho! Hey!
You gotta shake hands with your feelings
In the Wicked Sensitive Crew

In Pittsburgh they called us closed minded
But we know that's simply not true
Yeah we're touchy feely sensitive guys
I ain't ashamed I cried when Mickey died in Rocky II

In Sydney they misunderstood us
They called us thugs and mean-spirited types
Yeah we might not be Swedish
And we sure ain't vegan
But do thugs have posters on their bedroom wall of the dude
from the Darkness in a creepy meat suit zippered so low you
can practically see his...

[Chorus]

I don't know nothing about no meat suit
but I'll tell you there's one town that's ahead of the times
Man, they know what's up for sure
You see it's home to the godfather of love
The bald little man who started it all
One Teddy "Huggybear" Etoll

[Chorus:]
Hey! Ho! Hey!
You gotta shake hands with your feelings
We've got a big hug waiting for you

[Chorus]

"Wild Rover"

"Wild Rover"


I've been a wild rover for many's the year
and I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
and now I'm returning with gold in great store
and I never will play the wild rover no more

[Chorus:]
And it's no, nay, never, no, nay, never!
No more will I play the wild rover, no, never, no more

I went into an alehouse that I used to frequent
and I told the landlady me money was spent I asked her for credit,
she answered me nay such a custom like yours I could have any day

[Chorus]

I then took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright
and the landlady's eyes opened up with delight
she said she had whiskeys and wines of the best
and the words that she told me were only in jest

[Chorus]

I went home to my parents, confessed what I'd done
and I asked them to pardon their prodigal son
and when they'd forgave me as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more

[Chorus]

"Worker's Song"

"Worker's Song"


Yeh, this one's for the workers who toil night and day
By hand and by brain to earn your pay
Who for centuries long past for no more than your bread
Have bled for your countries and counted your dead

In the factories and mills, in the shipyards and mines
We've often been told to keep up with the times
For our skills are not needed, they've streamlined the job
And with sliderule and stopwatch our pride they have robbed

[Chorus:]
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

And when the sky darkens and the prospect is war
Who's given a gun and then pushed to the fore
And expected to die for the land of our birth
Though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth?

[Chorus x3]

All of these things the worker has done
From tilling the fields to carrying the gun
We've been yoked to the plough since time first began
And always expected to carry the can

"Working"

"Working"


Been working all day for me mate on the site
Running around like a blue arsed fly
I been working
And I been working all day for me mate

Every bleeding minute I been on the go
Up and down the ladder like a fiddler's elbow
I been working
I been working all day for me mate

[Chorus:]
Wait for tomorrow at half past ten
When I sign on, but until then
I'll be working
I'll be working all day for me mate

Ain't got no cards, don't pay no tax
For a score in me hand I'll be breaking me back
I been working
And I been working all day for me mate
Call me a crook, call me bent
But I need more than food and rent
I been working
And I been working all day for me mate

[Chorus]

They try to follow me every day
I give 'em the slip and I'm on my way
None of the other blokes thinks it's wrong
'Coz every one of 'em's signing on

[Chorus]

They try to follow me every day
I give 'em the slip and I'm on my way
None of the other blokes thinks it's wrong
'Coz every one of 'em's signing on

[Chorus]

The benefit boys are out of touch
What they don't know won't hurt 'em much
I been working
And I been working all day for me mate

If I'm caught I'll go down for a month or three
But they'll still Be paying out looking after me
I been working
And I been working all day for me mate

[Chorus]

"World Full Of Hate"

"World Full Of Hate"



A feeling inside in the back of my head
Like a song you still know from so long ago
And I wouldn't change a thing
Like a car driving by triggers something in my mind
Am I retrieving my direction or just charging forward blind
Am I everything that you wanted me to be
Have I lost that condition, a connection I couldn't see

Til the end like a friend stands by you again
And I wouldn't change a thing
Toe to toe, friend or foe, it's all that I know
And I wouldn't change a thing

As the years pass us by, will I still make the grade
Can I really offer anything, and will my soul be saved
Can you cleanse me of...drive out the swine
Am I only falling farther, can you keep me safe from harm
The memories you build in the house on a hill
Would you really change a thing
Corrected mistakes in a world full of hate
Never changes anything

Til the end like a friend stands by you again
Toe to toe, friend or foe, it's all that I know
Til the end like a friend stands by you again
And I wouldn't change a thing
Toe to toe, friend or foe, it's all that I know
And I wouldn't change a thing

"You're A Rebel"
(originally by Iron Cross)

"You're A Rebel"
(originally by Iron Cross)



Backed up against the wall
The animal makes his final stand
He spits and growls and he shows his teeth
He’s a foreigner in his own land

When there’s nowhere else to run
You’re a rebel
No more battles to be won
You’re a rebel
Stands out there with his pride
Fights with no one on his side
You’re a rebel

Without mercy the pack descends
Hear the cries of justice are in his defense
With a smug satisfaction they strip him bare
They kill the soul that should have flourished there

When there’s nowhere else to run
You’re a rebel
No more battles to be won
You’re a rebel
Stands out there with his pride
Fights with no one on his side
You’re a rebel

You’re a rebel and not a winner
You’re a fighter and now you’re bloodied
You’re a rebel and not a winner
You’re a fighter and now you’re bloodied
You’re a rebel and not a winner
You’re a fighter and now you’re bleeding

Without mercy the pack descends
Hear the cries of justice are in his defense
With a smug satisfaction they strip him bare
They kill the soul that should have flourished there

"Your Spirit's Alive"

"Your Spirit's Alive"


We are the ones who will never be broken
We are the ones who survive
This is the sound that brings us together
You are the one by our side

[Chorus:]
And through it all, and through it all, the spirit's alive
And through it all, your spirit's alive

You are the memory that lives on forever
The shadow that stands by our side
This is the sound that keeps us together
We are the ones who survive

[Chorus]

Farewell my brother
You're off to the big rink in the sky
The good lord's between the pipes
And you've got Bavis and Ace on the wing

We are the ones who will never be broken
We are the ones who survive

[Chorus]

This is the sound that brings us together
You are the one by our side
