IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT

IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT


To our fans far and near
We're so glad you could all be here
And when life get so-oh-oh hard
You make it all worthwhile
Screaming, shouting, wham-slam-bam
Now wild hair is back in style

This is dedicated to our fans across the world
You're the best, most loyalist, and that's for sure
When life gets oh so frustrating
You make it all worthwhile
Gonna have some fun tonight
Ain't it great to be alive

It's gonna be OK
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be that you're the only ones who understand

Got good feelings about this year
All is very well, C.J. is here
'92 spells more fun, let's get into gear
It's the year of the monkey, gonna be real funky
Buy yourself a beer

It's gonna be OK
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be that you're the only ones who understand

It's gonna be alright

It's gonna be OK, yeah, yeah
It's gonna be alright, uh, huh
It's gonna be that you're the only ones who understand

Who understand

It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be OK
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright

IT'S NOT FOR ME TO KNOW

IT'S NOT FOR ME TO KNOW


Easy come and easy go for me that was the fun
It was something that I didn't think was so bad
Now I'm lookin' out my window but I don't know
where I am
And I've give up trying to understand what I can't

I don't have any illusions anymore
I've done all that I can do
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know

I stood under the moonlight to ill-luminate myself
Something I fell into from being kicked around

I don't have any illusions anymore
I've done all that I can do
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know

No one seemed to notice seeing from smoke screen eyes
You can get what you want but I don't think it is true

I don't have any illusions anymore
I've done all that I can do
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know

It's not for me to know It's not for me to know

IT'S NOT MY PLACE

IT'S NOT MY PLACE


My mom and dad are always fighting
And it's getting very unexciting
To get a good job
You need a proper schooling
Now who the hell
Do ya think you're fooling

But it's not my place oh no
No it's not my place no no
No it's not my not my not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world

And it's not my place
with 9 to 5 girl
It's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world

Hangin' out with Lester Bangs you all
And Phil Spector really has it all
Uncle Floyd shows on the T.V.
Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, 10cc

But it's not my place

Don't wanna be a working stiff
Lose my identity
'Cause when it comes
To working 9 to 5
There ain't not place for me
Ain't my reality to me

Vin Scelsa's on the radio
Ramones are hangin' out in Kokomo
Roger Corman's on a talk show
With Allan Arkush and Stephen King
You know
But it's not my place

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE MIND AMBOY DUKES

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE MIND AMBOY DUKES


Leave your cares behind come with us and find
The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind

Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind

Beyond the seas of thought beyond the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not

Come along if you care...

But please realise you'll probably be surprised
For it's the land unknown to man
Where fantasy is fact
So if you can, please understand
You might not come back

Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see

How happy life could be if all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind

Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Center of the mind

JUDY IS A PUNK

JUDY IS A PUNK


Jackie is a punk,
Judy is a runt
They both went down to Berlin,
joined the ice capades.

And oh, I don't know why
Oh, I don't know why
Perhaps they'll die,
Oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die,
Oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die,
Oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die,
Oh yeah

Second verse, same as the first,

Jackie is a punk,
Judy is a runt
They both went down to Berlin,

Perhaps they'll die,
Oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die,
Oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die,
Oh yeah

Third verse, different from the first,

Jackie is a punk,

Joined the SLA.

And oh, I don't know why,

Oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die,
Oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die,
Oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die,
Oh yeah!

KALIMIST

KALIMIST


Did you think this could happen, did you think you were warm
Holding my body for ransom, is just an idea to try and even the score
A habits' so hard to break, I'm planning my big escape
So did you think this could happen, my body falls to the floor
And if I get put to rest, this is my last request
If life goes on don't ever sell yourself for something you'll regret
And where building this higher and higher we go,
Like a crash course through the rain where do we lose control
I'm waiting on the signal from the top of the world is anybody out there
You can't fight the feeling, and what were we thinking
You can't fight the feeling, you get from fading out
And what were we thinking, cause I've come to far to still get shut down
And where building this higher and higher we go,
Like a crash course through the rain where do we lose control
I'm waiting on the signal from the top of the world is anybody out there
Waiting on the resolution, try to take control
(Take a chance on the ones you lose, you do and they just keep on laughing)
Waiting on the resolution, try to take control
(Take a chance the ones you do, you lose and they just keep on making it up)
Waiting on the resolution, try to take control
(Take a chance on the ones you lose, you do and they just keep on laughing)
Waiting on the resolution, try to take control
(Take a chance the ones you do, you lose and they just keep on making it up)
And where building this higher and higher we go,
Like a crash course through the rain where do we lose control
I'm waiting on the signal from the top of the world is anybody out there

KEEPING TIME

KEEPING TIME


Everything I try to say
Turn to dust and blows away
It's stupid, but I'll say it anyway
While I swim against the tide
Misery my gloating bride
Sickening sweet comfort tell me
At least I tried

Buried is that book of rhymes
Deep within' my mind
Can't cut the cord
I live between the lines
And I never compromise
So I bleed it though my eyes
Think they're taking me home
What a sick surprise

And she watches from the sky
As I fade away and die
Unkept promises still brimming at her lips
I'll bet she smiles to herself
Keeps her secrets on a shelf
She's relieved at keeping time

KICKS TO TRY

KICKS TO TRY


There's no, no kicks to try
Another holiday
I wonder why
There's no, no kicks to try

I got one thing on my mind
I'm in trouble all the time
When the folks aren't around
It's safe to turn the stereo down

There's no, no rules to break
Sit here in my room and I cry
Another Holiday
I wonder why

I got one thing on my mind
I'm in trouble all the time


Met some guy who spat on me
It's the same every week

There's nothing new to try
Another Holiday
I wonder why
There's nothing new to try

Got one thing on my mind
I'm in trouble all the time
Everything's really banged up
Everyday's like the last one

There's no, no kicks to try
Another holiday, I wonder why
There's no, no kicks to try

KNOW BETTER NOW

KNOW BETTER NOW


[CHORUS]

Nobody
Can tell me
I know
I know better now

You're a kid
You're a brat

Clean up your room
Throw out the trash
When I was your age
I heard it all
Like livin' under
Your marshall law

I would think it was
For my own good
I would think it was true

Gotta be in early
Gotta go to school
They don't like my friends
I don't like those rules

I'm not a criminal
I'm not on drugs
Don't wait up for me
I'm out havin' fun

I would think it was
For my own good
I would think it was true

LEARN TO LISTEN

LEARN TO LISTEN


You gotta learn to listen, listen to learn
You gotta learn to listen, before you get burned
Learn to listen, listen to learn
You gotta learn to listen, before you get burned

You gotta have fun, not a fix in the arm
You gotta stay out of deep water
Happiness is something you've gotta earn
You gotta fight to make (your love into returns)

Learn to listen, listen to learn
You gotta learn to listen, before you get burned

You got (the rights) and there's always a temptation
This one more screwed up the nation
Gotta have a plan, gotta learn to listen
Gotta take a stab, you have my blessing, alright

You gotta take the cotton out of your ears
You gotta start hanging on to all your (affairs)
I've lived your life for so many years
All I got was self-pity and tears

Learn to listen, listen to learn
You gotta learn to listen, before you get burned
