"Shout It Out"

"Shout It Out"


She took me for a ride in her car
From the moment it started I knew
We wouldn't get far
That didn't matter it seemed
Though I knew it went schemed
And it was just like a dream

Oh, the joy of love was grand
That's when I heard the little birds sing
The day I first met my love
Oh, the day I first met my love

Then we went walking in the park
Away with the day
Till the day became dawn
Man hand in hand with the son
Laughed at the rain
When it came along

Oh, the joy of love was brand
As well the birds
As well the stars would sing
The day I first met my love
Oh, the day I first met my love

Am I really standing here with you
Are you telling me you love me too
Will it grow
Can we let the world know
Put it about, shout it out

The day I first met my love

"Showdown"

"Showdown"


It's gonna happen before too long
It's getting hard to tell who's right and who's wrong
I can see it coming so I gotta be strong

There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be changes in this town
We're gonna see a showdown

A time's gonna come in the future when
A whole lotta people gonna think again
We're gonna keep right on till you break and then

There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be changes in this town
We're gonna see a showdown

Do you want to be out of touch, only you can decide
For something different you're out of luck
'Cause on we will ride on, we're gonna ride, ride on!
Oooh ride on! C'mon!

The music explodes like a gun in your hand
We're gonna give you more than your head can stand
Then we'll sit down and talk man to man

There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be changes in this town
We're gonna see a showdown

There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be changes in this town
We're gonna see a showdown

Showdown, showdown
[repeat to fade]

"Simon The Bullet Freak"

"Simon The Bullet Freak"


Greater than to face it, give me your money
Make my life sunny for a day
Road that leads to nowhere, please stop your crying
I ain't fit for dying this way
Go steal another with your eye
Go try some other heartless lie

Now I have hope of speaking, bring back the moon
Don't play your silly games with me
Oh what a waste of daydream. What is your need
I'm gonna bleed until you pay
You've lost all sign of your direction
You're only looking for the next one
The next one to kill

Ashes of destruction spread out so far
Blackened nurses crying over me
See a one time city, now just a scar
Tears of the flower man fill the sea
Give me a chance to fly away
There's nothing here for me today
Today

"Skools Burning"

"Skools Burning"


Stand up, sit down don't turn around
Don't talk and don't smoke, don't laugh no joke
Too many rules, too many fools
Gonna raise it to the ground
We're gonna get high, light up the sky
Gonna burn it down

Yes sir, no sir, 3 bags full
Speak up or shut up, backs to the wall
Stand in a line, take it outside
See the soldiers march in time
Rollin' out of bed fallin' on my head
I think I'll pull the pin

Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down

Shape up, or ship out, your hair's too long
Yes sir, no sir, the same old song
Stay after time, and learn all your lines
Or write 'em out a thousand times
I heard what you said, bells in my head
Gonna pull the pin

Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down

There's gonna be a party tonight
People gonna come from miles
There's gonna be a fire here tonight
Gonna dance with the devil till the dawn
Dance with the devil till the dawn

Stand up, sit down, don't turn around
Don't talk, don't smoke, don't laugh, no joke
Gonna raise it to the ground
Gonna get high, light up the sky
Gonna pull the pin

Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down

"So Tired"

"So Tired"


Well I've been in the road for a year or more
And I done a lot of things I never did before
Now I want everyone to listen to my song
And you can tell me when you've heard it if you think I'm wrong

'Cause I'm so tired
Of everybody staring at me
Yes I'm so tired
And I'm so uninspired
Please help me

Well I've seen 'em rise and I've seen 'em fall
And I use to think that I was having a ball
But I was kiddin' myself for a long long time
But now I got myself a spoon - I'm feeling fine

But I'm so tired
Of everybody staring at me
Yes I'm so tired
And I'm so uninspired
Wontcha please help me

Where can you go, where can you go
When there is no-one to show a guiding light
What did you say, what did you say
Have you been thinking about me day and night

'Cause I'm so tired
Of everybody staring at me
And I'm so, so tired
And I'm so uninspired
Please help me
Wontcha please help me
[ad lib vocals to end]

"Something Or Nothing"

"Something Or Nothing"


C'mon

There's never a day when I've got nothing to do
'Cause something to me might mean nothing to you
So don't, don't, don't, don't look at me strangely now
We'll find the line that's in the middle and run

Something
We've got to run
Something or nothing

You say you love to spend days, but I will save mine
Waiting for the sun in your eyes to turn the rivers to wine
But don't, don't, don't, don't look at me strangely now
We're gonna find the line that's in the middle and run

Something, we've gotta run, something or nothing, run run run
Something, something or nothing
C'mon there

You say you love to spend days, but I will save mine
Waiting for the sun in your eyes to turn the rivers to wine
But don't, don't, don't, don't look at me strangely now
We'll find the line that's in the middle and run

Something, something or nothing
It's gotta be something, something or nothing
Something, something or nothing
We're looking for something, something or nothing

"Son Of A Bitch"

"Son Of A Bitch"


Hear the son of the bitch
He's the son of a fool
Sign of the times
No exception against the rule
He's down on his luck
He's down on his knees
Cut really deep
He knows how to bleed

Hear the son of the dark
You'll see him run with the pack
He won't look you in the eyes
He'll stab you in the back
The son of the dark
Only runs with the pack
He'll take your life
He won't look back

Son of a - he's a son of a bitch
He's a son of a - he's a son of a bitch

Hear the woman of the streets
She never learned how to cry
She'll spread her wings
He'll never fly
Woman of the night
She hangs like a bat
She'll scratch at your eyes
Fight like a cat

Hear the lost, hear the lonely
Hear the fool, that won't get to see
Hear the lost, hear the lonely
And don't pity me, don't pity me

Son of the bitch
He's a son of a - Oh, the son of a bitch

Listen to the son of the poor
The son of the rich
The son of the dark
The son of the bitch
Woman of the night
Hangs like a bat
She'll scratch at your eyes
She fights like a cat

Hear the son of the bitch
He's the son of a fool
A sign of the times
No exception against the rule
Down on his luck
Down on his knees
Cut really deep
So he knows how to bleed

He's a sign of the times
He's the son of a, son of a... bitch
The son of a bitch

"Southern Star"

"Southern Star"


Crowds were waiting on the quay
For their hero of the sea
From the greatest of the sea
A toast to freedom for everyone

He talked of fear and the cannons roar
Sent a thousand souls to the ocean floor
Victory was a simple plan
Put in place by no common man

Set sail for the southern star
Set sail for the southern star
Haul away you restless souls
Set sail for the southern star

He says that he won’t sail no more
He’s banging up his uniform
But he cannot control his soul
He’s got to take that pot of gold

Set sail for the southern star
Set sail for the southern star
Haul away you restless souls
Set sail for the southern star

Ever fearless universe, hold our nations together
Teach these words to young and old, forever

Cut the anchor today we sail
On trackless seas through storm and gale
To where the deepest water lies
To the warmer winds and balmy skies
Never to return

Set sail for the southern star
Set sail for the southern star
Haul away you restless souls
Set sail for the southern star

"Spider Woman"

"Spider Woman"


I had a Spider Woman and she was so good
She chained me in her web so tight
I lost the freedom of release that night
So I stayed right by her

I dreamt I saw a blind man who was singing a song
About a guy who couldn't take no more
And the meaning of the words he swore
Told me go find her yeah

She was a Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
She went down.

I told her 'bout my vision
But she laughed in my face
So I told her go and walk in the street
But by the time she got past my feet
I lost control

She was a Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me
Spider Woman, but she was good to me

"Spirit Of Freedom"

"Spirit Of Freedom"


I know instinctively when something is right
With no one there to save me you came into my life
The words you whispered still echo in my mind
Forget about tomorrow forget about time

So good to be alive and touch the spirit of freedom - in your soul
So good to breathe the air and feel that life is worth living
There's no time to waste in this life there's no time at all
So good to see the truth and touch the spirit of freedom

I never thought that I could ever feel this way
To see the warmest sunlight on a cold and rainy day
Dawn wakes the silence and I know that I can't wait
To hear the words I wanna say again and again

So good to be alive and touch the spirit of freedom in your soul
So good to breathe the air and feel that life is worth living
There's no time to waste in this life there's no time at all

There's no time to waste in this life there's no time at all
So good to be alive and touch the spirit of freedom in your soul
So good to breathe the air and feel that life is worth living
There's no time to waste in this life there's no time at all
So good to see the truth and touch the spirit of freedom in your soul
