"Ballad Of The Working Man"

"Ballad Of The Working Man"



Hear the whistle blowin’
Another working day
Turn the wheels of power
Earn your daily pay
The blood and sweat of working men
Made this country great
To the kings and queens of industry
Your lives we celebrate

No matter where you’re going
Remember where you’ve been
It takes me back to a simple life
I sing my song – the ballad of the working man

The rhythm of the engines
Pounding out a song
Pulling all together
To make this kingdom strong
To every man and woman
Standin’ tall and proud
We dedicate this song to you
Rejoice and shout out loud

It’s not so complicated
Remember where you’re from
It takes me back to a simple life
I sing my song – the ballad of the working man
Working man

Another round of whiskey
Another shot of gin
The bar-maid rings ‘last orders’
Get the last ones in
The place is full of laughter
The glasses full of beer
It takes me to a simple life
That’s nearly disappeared

No matter where you’re going
Remember where you’ve been
Take me back to a simple life
I sing my song – the ballad of the working man
The ballad of the working man
The ballad of the working man

"Baptism Of Fire"

"Baptism Of Fire"



Can you hear the thunder rolling
Somewhere in the night
Twenty thousand voices screaming
Blinded by the light
Makes no difference who you are
Or where you're going to
The sound of fury splits the night
Above the chosen few

Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire

Take the eagle from the sky
Ride into the sun
Make a stand the time has come
The tournament's begun
Throw the dice, spin the wheel
Turn the card of fate
The day is coming soon my friend
You don't have to wait

Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
(Baptism of fire)

Can you hear the thunder rolling
Somewhere in the night
Twenty thousand voices screaming
Blinded by the light
Makes no difference who you are
Or where you're going to
The sound of fury splits the night
Above the chosen few

Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire

"Battalions Of Steel"

"Battalions Of Steel"



Take up your sword the sword of the brave
You fight for legion you fight to the grave
For death and for glory your spirit won't die
Legions of steel to battle you cry
Hail to the heroes stand to the last
Gone are warriors they call from the past

Battalion's battalions of steel
Riding out to glory and fame

To march or to die that was your creed
Comrades in arms an army of steel
No one can stand your power and might
Onwards together into the fight
Hail to the heroes stand to the last
Gone are warriors they call from the past

Battalion's battalions of steel
Riding out to glory and fame
Battalion's battalions of steel
Marching out to glory and fame

Legions of steel to battle they cry
Marching to glory their spirits won't die
For death and for glory your fight to the grave
Raise up your sword the sword of the brave
Hail to the heroes stand to the last
Gone are warriors they call from the past

Battalion's battalions of steel
Riding out to glory and fame
Battalion's battalions of steel
Marching out to glory and fame

"Battle Cry"

"Battle Cry"


Can you hear the sound
The sound of distant voices
Floating gently 'cross the glen
Can you see the people
The people gathered 'round
They're worshipping their king

They came to hear the story
They came to sing the song

There's talk of a rebellion
The highlands are aflame
From the mountains to the sea
A prince has come to Scotland
To claim his rightful throne
The seeds of war are sown

They came to hear the story
They came to sing the song

Let me hear
Let me hear
Let me hear your battlecry

Let me hear
Let me hear
Let me hear your battlecry

An army marches northwards
To meet the fearless clansmen
For England and St. George
The red coats face the tartan
The battle lines are drawn
The musket and the sword

They came to hear the story
They came to sing the song

Let me hear
Let me hear
Let me hear your battlecry

Let me hear
Let me hear
Let me hear your battlecry

Many men have fallen
The prince has had his day
Culloden was the name
Their battlecry can still be heard
To this very day
Floating gently 'cross the glen

They came to hear the story
They came to sing the song

Let me hear
Let me hear
Let me hear your battlecry

"Beyond The Grave"

"Beyond The Grave"


Are you standing on your own
When the darkness closes in
Can you hear the voices calling from within
Do you see the spirit world
Like a cold and frightened child
Or is you imagination running wild

[Chorus:]
Is there anybody out there
We're waiting for a sign
Calling to the afterlife
Is anybody there
Beyond the grave

On a breath of cold night air
The candle starts to dim
When shadows dance the walls start closing in
Does your fear begin to rise
Are you paralysed with fright
Can they hear you screaming in the night

[Repeat chorus]

"Big Teaser"

"Big Teaser"


Out with the boys
Testing my virility
The booze and the music
Arrousing my curiousity

I moved in beside her
Asked her to rock and roll with me
Cause I have her classed
My eyes roam lecherously
Lecherously, lecherously, lecherously

She's a big teaser [Repeat]
I only see her
Very occasionally
She's leading me on
She's living dangerously
It's easy to see
She's making a fool out of me
Oh but I ain't no fool
I'll get her eventually
Eventually, eventually, eventually

She's a big teaser [Repeat]

"Big Twin Rolling (Coming Home)"

"Big Twin Rolling (Coming Home)"



I got my big twin rollin' thumping out a tune
Following the headlight coming back to you
I don't need no big jet liner don't need no limousine
All I've got's my pair of wheels satisfaction guaranteed

I'm on my way I'm coming home
I'm on my way I'm coming home

Thunder down the highway keeping up the pace
Six hundred miles before me until I see your face
Gasoline and metal hammer through the night
Eating up the freeway makes me feel alright

I'm on my way I'm coming home
I'm on my way I'm coming home

Polished steel and leather the rumbling of the pair
Hear the carburettors sucking in the air
Sat around the engine vibrating every bone
Keeping it together blasting my way home

I'm on my way I'm coming home
I'm on my way I'm coming home

"Bloodletter"

"Bloodletter"



You never see him out in the sunlight
He's waiting for the shadows to fall
Moving under cover of darkness
Searching for a victim to maul
Lock up your doors so tightly
Keep all your windows shut
'Cause on this night the blood will flow
Flow before the dawn

In the night wrap up tight
Vampire strikes
Bloodletter

Roaming in the valley of darkness
Never moving far from the grave
Waiting at the edge of your nightmare
Seeking out the blood that he craves
So if your hear a tap on your window
You know that your time has come
On this night the blood will flow
Flow before the dawn

In the night wrap up tight
Vampires bite
Bloodletter, bloodletter

In the night wrap up tight
Vampire strikes
Bloodletter, bloodletter

Scream in the night
Keep out of sight

You never see him out in the sunlight
He's waiting for the shadows to fall
Moving under cover of darkness
Searching for a victim to maul
Lock up your doors so tightly
Keep all your windows shut
'Cause on this night the blood will flow
Flow before the dawn

In the night wrap up tight
Vampire strikes
Bloodletter, bloodletter

Bloodletter

In the night wrap up tight
Vampire strikes
Bloodletter, bloodletter

In the night wrap up tight
Vampire strikes
Bloodletter, bloodletter

Bloodletter
Bloodletter
Bloodletter
Bloodletter

"Broken Heroes"

"Broken Heroes"


They came to fight for glory in their thousands
Young men with their dreams
They died before the guns for their country
A book of faded pictures, broken dreams

Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
The broken heroes

Uncle Sam is waiting with the draft card
He says you've got to fight the Vietcong
The stations full of flags and rule Britannia
The engine pulls you out towards the Somme

Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroes

Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
The broken heroes

The pipes are calling young men back to Belfast
The general says you march to Stalingrad
You rode into the valley with the hundred
Seven lonely graves on Goose Green

Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroes

Where are they now
[Repeat to end]
