Dark Forces
04:19
|

|
Longer are the hours of darkness than of light
Feeble is the fortress inside of which you hide
Forces are approaching from which you can't escape
Pure is the evil that you see taking shape.
Sleep cannot protect you, and God not comfort you
Nearer is the hour when darkness calls for you
Forces are approaching from which you can't escape
Pure is the evil that you see taking shape.
Dark.

One Way Ticket

There are stops along the way,
But no places I wanna stay
I paid the full fare,
More than enough to get me there.
I bought a one way ticket,
I see the burning sky.
I know I'm on the right track,
And I know there's no turning back
No refund, no return.
And all eternity to burn.
I bought a one way ticket.
I see the burning sky.
I'm headed for the sunset,
Kiss this bad ass goodbye.
I bought a one way ticket,
I see the burning sky,
I'm headed for the sunset,
Kiss this bad ass goodbye.
The road is wide and straight,
And that bus ain't never late.
Take a seat there's time to kill,
This is the place where time stands still.
I bought a one way ticket,
I see the burning sky,
I'm headed for the sunset
Kiss this bad ass goodbye
I'm headed for the sunset
I see the burning sky
I bought a one way ticket
Kiss this bad ass goodbye.

Tits

Was it the money?
Was it the booze?
Was it all the pairs of fancy shoes?
Was it his own show? Was it the Ritz?
Or was it too much sucking on teenage tits?
Tits!... teenage tits
Tits!... teenage tits
Tits!... teenage tits
Tits!
Was it the ladies?
Was it the boys?
Was it all the executive toys?
Was it the surgery?
Was it the praise?
Or was it too many Bangkok holidays?
'Kok!... holidays
'Kok!... holidays
'Kok!... holidays
'Kok!
Ooh Aah!
Ooh Aah!
Was it the limo?
Was it the dope?
Was it too much perfumed soap?
Was it the candy?
Was it the head?
Lying flat out on his feather bed.

Nobodys Wife
04:08

|
I might not be very tall,
I might not be good at football,
But at least I'm nobody's wife.
I might be a weedy little shit,
I might not be super-fit,
I might not have a pot in which to piss,
But at least I'm nobody's wife.
Nope.
I might be a figure of fun,
I might not be well hung,
I might be on the bottom rung,
But at least I'm nobody's wife.
I'm nobody's wife.

The Loozin' Line

It doesn't matter just how high you climb.
It doesn't matter you'll come down and find.
Uh huh, the losing line.
It doesn't matter just how fast you run,
You gotta stop once that bell has rung,
And drink from the bitter cup, where rivers all run dry...
Uh huh, the losing line!
Uh huh, the losing line!
Ow!
The losing line.
It doesn't matter just how hard you try,
So many questions but only one reply,
Welcome to the place where grown men cry!
Uh huh, the losing line!
Uh huh, the losing line!

Out Of Time
04:16

|
I know its true
You know its true
The love we once had,
Well now it's through
We had some good times,
We had some rough.
I know it's sad,
You know it's sad,
That something so good,
Could turn so bad.
Maybe it was your fault?
Maybe it was mine?
But there's no point blaming,
We're out of time.
I've had my say,
You've had your say,
I've played my last card,
I'll be on my way.
I won't be calling,
You won't reply,
And if you see me some place,
Just pass on by.
Bye, bye, pass on by.
Bye, bye, pass on by

Come Home To Me
03:10
|
|||
|
I'll be your friend, help out with things,
I'll fix your car, how about today?
Just being near you helps ease my pain.
I've stood outside your house all night in pouring rain.
Come home to me.
Come home to me.
I'd like to help, help you forget,
I know about your friend and all the things he said.
You need a change, I understand.
I can help to pull you from that sinking sand.
Come home to me.
Come home to me.
You can trust me! Come home to me.
Come home baby!
Come home baby!
Come home baby!
If you're unhappy, I'll make you glad,
I'll give you all the things you never had.
You'll grow to like me, it won't be long,
Before I'm the one you wanted all along.
Come home to me.
Come home to me.
You can trust me! Come home to me.
Love guaranteed! Come home to me.
Depend on me! Come home to me.
Love guaranteed! Come home to me.
You can trust me! Come home to me.

Oh General

Oh General, speak to me
Tell me of conflict across the sea.
Of casualty figures, and civilians lost.
I'll write the story, and Bob here will take the shots.
Oh General, speak to me
War may be messy, but it looks great on TV.
Ratings are soaring, and you are the star.
Your public are waiting, so let's kick arse.
