I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise -

He did the MASH!!!
He did the Monster Mash!
The Monster Mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the Monster Mash!

From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes....

They did the MASH!!!
They did the Monster Mash!
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the Monster Mash!

The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"

They played the MASH!!!
They played the Monster Mash!
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They played the mash
It caught on in a flash
They played the mash
They played the Monster Mash!

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"

It's now the MASH!!!
It's now the Monster Mash!
The monster mash
And it's a graveyard smash
It's now the mash
It's caught on in a flash
It's now the mash
It's now the Monster Mash!

Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you

Then you can MASH!!!
Then you can Monster Mash!
The monster mash
And do my graveyard smash
Then you can mash
You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash
Then you can Monster Mash!


I've been cast out, sequestered.
Pushed the f!*$ around.
Blindsided, beaten, locked up and bound.
Always thought I was human but maybe I was wrong.
I've been treated like an animal since the day I was born.
The wounds that I wear are the crown upon a king.
So heavy they lie, with all the pain that they bring.
My life is full of longing, but for what I'll never know.
I've been drawn in to the fire as I reap what I sow.

Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away,
When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces,
The more that you love me insecurity releases,
And I'll be the one that's to blame,
So I'll sell my soul to blaze
Like a moth to a flame.
(like a moth to a flame)

The ruler of the kingdom that ends up the pawn,
So tired of thinking of where it all went wrong,
Friendships they come and go and sometimes they end,
Wouldn't dream in a million years that this would be one of them.
Faith in the life, belief to the end,
Failure's not an option, but the options exist,
I gave up my everything, I give till I bleed,
Take it all, take everything just take it from me

Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away,
When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces,
The more that you love me insecurity releases,
And I'll be the one that's to blame,
So I'll set my soul to blaze.

You're pushing me, I'm pushing back,
Falling down my heart attacks,
Compassion is lost,
No more hope, no more trust,
I tore it down and burnt it up,
All faith is gone.
Respect, devotion,
Dead,
Disgust, hate,
Lies
I'm not a hero, or a villain,
Not a god, I'm just a man,
Staring through the hourglass,
At the footprints in the sand,
I'm stripping off my armor,
My battles here are done,
Wave my white flag to surrender and fly into the sun.

Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away,
When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces,
The more that you love me insecurity releases,
And I'll be the one that's to blame,
So I'll set my soul to blaze.
Like a moth to a flame.
Moth to a flame


You pray for quiet,
Inside your head the screams won't silence;
I remember those days...
The terror that's the home;
The fear that's in your bones,
It just won't go away...
No...

The strangle holds, the insulting names,
The wound up shirt around his fist;
The nose to nose, beer-stinking breath.
Thrown down onto the floor,
So battered, bruised and sore
Thrown down onto the bed,
And thrash until you break your neck

Hell's where I was born! Hell's where I was raised,
This hell is where I'm from and this hell is where I'll stay.
The hush is all I need to hush the misery;
The hush that belongs to me, like the hush inside a dream
Just be still and pray
And let the noise just fade away.

Retain to violence;
Locks up your heart like a secret closet,
So no one can penetrate...
You just can't stand the touch;
Affection weighs too much,
You push everyone away
From...

The reckoning,
The venom stings,
Whipped so bad I pissed myself;
Still wear the beatings from that belt
If this reminds you of home,
You better know you're not alone
Hold the gun up to my head,
I'll pull the trigger on myself!

Hell's where I was born! Hell's where I was raised,
This hell is where I'm from and this hell is where I'll stay.
The hush is all I need to hush the misery;
The hush that belongs to me,
Like the hush inside a dream
Just be still and pray

These are the memories in me
You didn't wanna know!
You didn't wanna know!
These are the memories we keep
We don't wanna show!
We don't wanna show!
But now at least you know, you're not alone

Hush is all I need, hush the misery;
Hush belongs to me, like the hush inside a dream
Hell's where I was born! Hell's where I was raised,
This hell is where I'm from and this hell is where I'll stay
The hush is all I need to hush the misery;
The hush that belongs to me,
Like the hush inside a dream
Just be still and pray...
And let the noise just fade away...


Let's burn this town until we all fall down
My crime was crowned, the king of endless sound
Slaughtered inside, the daughter you can't hide
Pray for your life, before you pray for mine

When she takes a bite out
It always takes it right out of her
And when she takes a bite out
It only takes the fight out of her

Do it or die
Do it or die
Must be something in mind
Do it, do it or die

Curses will fall, the dirty of it all
And why should I care, if you were never, never there
Keep this in mind, there is no end in sight
Why am I always careful, always care, and

When she takes a bite out
It always takes it right out of her
And when she takes a bite out
It only takes the fight out of her

Do it or die
Do it or die
Must be something in mind
Do it do it or die

Must be something on my end
Do it do it or dying
Must be something in mind
Do it do it or die

My curse and my best friend
Sometimes it weakens the end
My curse and my best friend
Sometimes it weakens the end

My curse and my best friend
Sometimes it weakens the end
My curse and my best friend
Sometimes it weakens the end

Must be something in mind
(It?s not like you ever knew)
(It?s not like you've ever known)

Must be something in mind
(It is not like you have ever known)
(It is not like you have ever known)

Do it or die
Do it or die
Must be something in mind
Do it do it or die

Must be something in my head
Do it do it or dying
Must be something in mine
Do it do it or die


You promised me the ending would be clear
You'd let me know when the time was now
Don't let me know when you're opening the door
Stab me in the dark, let me disappear

Memories that flutter like bats out of hell
Stab you from the city spires
Life wasn't worth the balance
Or the crumpled paper it was written on

Don't let me know we're invisible
Don't let me know we're invisible

Hot cash days that you trailed around
Cold cold nights under chrome and glass
Led me down river of perfumed limbs
Sent me to the streets with the good time girls

Don't let me know we're invisible
Don't let me know we're invisible
We could dance, dance, dance through' the fire
Dance, dance, dance through' the fire

Feed me no lies
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Breathe through the years
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Bring me the disco king
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Dead or alive, bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king, bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king

Spin-offs with those who slept like corpses
Damp morning rays in the stiff bad clubs
Killing time in the '70s
Smelling of love through the moist winds
Don't let me know when you're opening the door
Close me in the dark, let me disappear
Soon there'll be nothing left of me
Nothing left to release

Dance, dance, dance through' the fire
Dance, dance, dance through' the fire
Feed me no lies
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Breathe through the years
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Bring me the disco king
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Dead or alive, bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king, bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king, bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king, bring me the disco king


This is a tale of mystery action and witchcraft!

Our four friends, Betty Boom, Doggie, Peggie and Little Monster, went, one stormy night, to the horrible castle of the witches!

Nobody of them would like to remember that Jimi - 'scuse me, that Experience
They were there, just looking out of the terrific and terrifical doors of the horrible castle

490 breath-mighty dragons were guarded in that door!

And here they go - the witches were playing inside their horrible, unpleasant music!

Help me! Somebody help me!

Our four heroes went in and fought against the thirteen thousands of people, and all alone, for ten days, the fight continued; at the end of the 10th day, all was over!

Oh, yeah! Our four handsome and lovely heroes won the bloody fight against the ghosts and witches, and now they are here, and they play, play and play - THE VICTORY SONG!!

Diablo motors had a hell of a sale, downtown yesterday,
Word got around, no money down, take years and years to pay.
When I got there the lot was bare, but the salesman said hold on.
For a little cash, I gotta two-tone Nash out behind the barn.

If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line.
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime,
If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.

Well he said friend it ain't the end let's see what I can do.
If you own a home, I've got a loan, tailor made for you.
Then above the racket a voice in my jacket said, "I'll tote the note."
The devil made me do it, talked me in to it, and that was all she wrote.

If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line.
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime,
If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.

They say debt is a bottomless pit where the devil likes to play.
I'd sell my soul to get out of this hole, but there'd be hell to pay.

If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line.
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime,
If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine

We're Knights of the Round Table,
We dance when ere we're able,
We do routines and chorus scenes
With footwork impeccable.
We dine well here in Camelot,
We eat ham and jam and Spam a lot!

We're Knights of the Round Table,
Our shows are formidable, But many times, we're given rhymes
That are quite unsingable.
We're Opera mad in Camelot,
We sing from the diaphragm a looooooot!

In war we're tough and able,
Quite indefatigable,
Between our quests we sequin vests,
And impersonate Clark Gable.
It's a busy life in Camelot,
I have to push the pram a lot!

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone.
Everything that I've got is just what I've got on.
When that sun is high in that Texas sky
I'll be bucking it to county fair.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo I'll be there.

They took my saddle in Houston, broke my leg in Santa Fe.
Lost my wife and a girlfriend somewhere along the way.
Well I'll be looking for eight when they pull that gate,
And I'm hoping that judge ain't blind.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's on my mind.

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone.
Everything that I've got is just what I've got on.
I ain't got a dime, but what I got is mine.
I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be.

Still Counting...

Counting all the a&#%@~*s in the room
Well, I'm definitely not alone, well, I'm not alone
You're a liar, you're a cheater, you're a fool
Well, that's just like me yoohoo and I know you too
Mr. Perfect don't exist, my little friend
And I tell you it all again, and I do it again
Counting all the a+~@&$~s in the room,
Well, I'm definitely not alone, well, I'm not alone

Look deep into yourself before you blame all others
For betrayal, for betrayal
I promise, so easy to say, and easy you failed,
And you do it again

Well, the music seems to cover
And the liquid do the colours
Well, I turn my back and
Go for all the better things in order

Well, maybe you think your lie is safe
But I read you like a letter, yeah like a letter
Your charm do not evens the pain
It feeds me with rage, and you do it again

Well, the music seems to cover
And all the liquid do the colours
Well, I turn my back and
Go for all the better things in order

Well, the music seems to cover
And all the liquid do the colours
Well, I turn my back and
Go for all the better things in order

And a gangster keeps on telling
That he's got a song that matters
So I flip a coin towards him
Thank you very much for listening

{Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three}

Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world
Of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it

There is no life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it

He's on the British side in Georgia
He's trying to keep the colonies in line
But he can keep all of Georgia

When so many have tried
Then I'm willing to wait for it

Floccinaucinihilipilification
Is what you do if you're the sort of chap
Who can't accept that anything popular might be any good
And dismisses it out of hand as "Total crap."
"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing,"
Is what you really mean,
But that's repetitive and a bore to say
While floccinaucinihilipilification
Is a simple and most economical way.

Floccinaucinihilipilification
Is great if you enjoy the chance to gripe;
Grumpy folk have fun dismissing all that they dislike
And can moan or mutter, "What a load of tripe!"
"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing,"
Is what they really mean,
But saying it thus sounds really quite absurd.
With floccinaucinihilipilification
You know you're never going to mince your words!

Floccinaucinihilipilification
We'll use it, or at least I think we might,
If confronted with some clever thing we just don't understand
We'll declare the whole thing's just "A heap of s@+@e."
"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing,"
Is what we really mean,
But saying it thus is not what people do.
With floccinaucinihilipilification,
Why use several words when just the one will do?

Floccinaucinihilipilification
Is the longest English word in common use.
Antidisestablishmentarians just feel torn apart
When they hear it, and they may well hurl abuse.
It's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing,
But Mary Poppins fans
Truly hate it and may offer a foul rebuke
'Cause floccinaucinihilipilification is a real word
Unlike supercalifragi-gobbledigook!
Unlike supercalifragi-gobbledigook!


Did you make that up yourself?

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Because I was afraid to speak
When I was just a lad
My father gave me nose a tweak
And told me I was bad
But then one day I learned a word
That saved me aching nose
The biggest word I ever heard
And this is how it goes:

Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

So when the cat has got your tongue
There's no need for dismay
Just summon up this word
And then you've got a lot to say
But better use it carefully
Or it can change your life
One night I said it to me guy
And now I am his wife!

She's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
No matter how you use this word

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Lock up your children.
Lock up your pets as well. (Your pets as well.)
It's time to panic, because something terrible is mad as Hell!

So read the papers,

Something's approaching,
oh no,
oh no.
And no one knows exactly what it means,
but the killer machines are coming.

Don't let your guard down, and watch your back.

It's time to panic, panic, panic, in the city, city, city, under fire, fire, fire.

I think we're finished.

How I wish that this were just a dream...

It's like a nightmare.
Have they forgotten Johnny 5? (Johnny 5)
"No disassemble." (No no no no no)
I have a feeling that we won't survive!
We'll be eaten alive - by robots!

I see them rolling down the railroad track.

There wouldn't be no Alamo,
No Cowboys in the Superbowl...
No "Lonesome Dove", no "Yellow Rose",
If it wasn't for Texas.

I wouldn't be a Willie fan.
Nobody'd swim the Rio Grande.
I wouldn't be an American,
If it wasn't for Texas.

Fort Worth would never cross my mind,
An' there'd be no Austin City limits sign.
No Lonestar of any kind.
If it wasn't for Texas.

I'd never've gone to Tennessee,
To sing my songs an' chase my dreams.
Only Heaven knows just where I'd be,
If it wasn't for Texas.

Fort Worth would never cross my mind.
There'd be no Austin City limits sign.
An' no Lonestar of any kind.

Thank God for my old stompin' ground.
I wouldn't be standin' right here, right now,
If it wasn't for Texas.
If it wasn't for Texas.

Miles and Miles of Texas
Asleep at the Wheel

Lyrics
I was born in Lousiana down on the ol bouyo
Rasied on shrimps and catfish mame's good gumbo
I got the ramblin' fever said goodbye to ma and pa
Crossed that ol red river and this is what I saw

I saw miles and miles of Texas all the stars up in the sky
I saw miles and miles of Texas gonna live here till I die

I rode up in to Austin the craddle of the west
Just ask any cowboy he'll tell you it's the best
I met a texas bueaty I got friendly with her pa
I looked in to her big blue eyes this is what I saw

I saw miles and miles of Texas all the stars up in the sky
I saw miles and miles of Texas gonna live here till I die

I started tamin' bronko's I made every rodeo
Until I met a tuff one you know his name was devil joe
I grabb'd hold of his bridle just to ride this ol' outlaw
He threw me from the saddle and this is what I saw

I saw miles and miles of Texas all the stars up in the sky
I saw miles and miles of Texas gonna live here till I die

Miles of Texas
Uaaah now

All night long

Gonna live here till I die

Aaaaaaaah, Texas

You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here...
De-ter-i-o-ra-ta!
De-ter-i-o-ra-taaa!

Go placidly
Amid the noise and waste.
And remember what comfort there may be
In owning a piece thereof.

Avoid quiet and passive persons
Unless you are in need of sleep.

Rotate your tires.

Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself
And heed well their advice,
Even though they be turkeys.

Know what to kiss... And when!

Consider that two wrongs never make a right
But that three...do.

Wherever possible, put people on hold.

Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment
And despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer maintenance.

You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back!

Remember the Pueblo.

Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mutilate.

Know yourself - if you need help, call the FBI.

Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you.
That lemon on your left, for instance.

Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.
Fall not in love therefore;
It will stick to your face.

Gracefully surrender the things of youth:
The birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan
And let not the sands of time
Get in your lunch.

Hire people with hooks.

For a good time call 606-4311;
Ask for "Ken."

Take heart amid the deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.

And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.

You are a fluke
Of the universe!
You have no right to be here!
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back!

Therefore, make peace with your god
Whatever you conceive Him to be:
Hairy Thunderer, or Cosmic Muffin.

With all it's hopes, dreams, promises and urban renewal
The world continues to deteriorate.

Give up.

*guitar twang*

You are a fluuuke
Of the universe!

Oh, we're big rock singers.
We got golden fingers.
And we're loved everywhere we go.
We sing about beauty,
And we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show.
We take all kinds of pills
To give us all kind of thrills,
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that'll getcha
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone.

Rolling Stone...
Wanna see my picture on the cover.
Stone...
Wanna buy five copies for my Mother.
Stone...
Wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone.

I got a freaky old lady
Named Cocaine Katy
Who embroiders all my jeans.
Got my poor old grey-haired daddy
Drivin' my limousine.
It's all designed to blow our minds,
But our minds won't really get blown
Like the blow that'll getcha
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone.

We gotta lotta little teenage blue-eyed groupies
Who do anything we say.
We got a genuine Indian guru
Who's teaching us a better way.
We got all the friends that money can buy,
So we never have to be alone.
And we keep getting richer,
But we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone.


Boozy Nights
By: The Barron Knights

Boozy nights oh-oh-oh
Boozy nights oh-oh-oh

Boozy nights
Boozy nights
Boozy nights

Ain't no doubt, we are here for drinking
Come on up, lots of pints for sinking
Dance with a lager tonight
Boozy nights are always the best in town

Got to keep on boozin', keep on boozin'
Got to keep on boozin', keep on boozin'

Boozy nights
Startin' up, line up with the top off
Bag of crisps 'cause the beer is so rough
I'll pull the barmaid tonight
Ruby White has two of the best in town

Got to keep on boozin', keep on boozin'
Got to keep on boozin', keep on boozin'

Friday night
Playing darts double chuck up
To throw it, threw it, threw it
Thought I'd won, what a bum
Well I blew it, blew it, blew it

Had some fun, bought a bird a snowball
Took her home, ended up with - nothin'
Dance in a drunken stupor
The beer I drank couldn't reach past the other beer's reach

Got to keep on boozin', keep on boozin'
Got to keep on boozin', keep on boozin'

Boozy nights
Boozy nights
Boozy nights
Boozy nights

Dance with a lager tonight
Boozy nights are always the best in town

Got to keep on boozin', keep on boozin'
Got to keep on boozin', keep on boozin'
(boozy nights, oh-oh-oh)
Got to keep on boozin', keep on boozin'
Got to keep on boozin', keep on boozin'
(boozy nights, oh-oh-oh)
Got to keep on boozin', keep on boozin'
Got to keep on boozin', keep on boozin' (Backwoods)


I'm an axe grinder, pile driver.
Mama says that I never, never mind her.

Boomerang, opportunities that you have thrown away
Will come back around to you someday
It can't be that selfish to live for yourself sometimes
You've been believing in everybody else's lies.
Out of mind, out of sight, you'll get there when the time is right.

Things that last, some people rush to get them on this beaten path they
Go, and go in, and get there fast.
I've let go of some things I wish I kept
Now I'm itching to get them back.

Will come back around to you someday
It can't be that selfish to live for yourself sometimes

My mistake, hurry up and wait
Let go, let go, come back.

I was young, should have been focused on something else besides myself
And I don't know if it was my mistake or if another door may open up in my face.
I may never know, was it my mistake to let you go
Boomerang, opportunities that you have thrown away
Will come back around to you someday
It can't be that selfish to live for yourself sometimes
You've been believing in everybody else's lies.
Out of mind, out of sight, you'll get there when the time is right.

Well, Ali Baba had them forty thieves,
Scheherazade had a thousand tales.
But master you're in luck, 'cause up your sleeves
You've got a brand of magic never fails!

You've got some power in your corner now!
Some heavy ammunition in your camp!
You got some punch, pizzaz, yahoo and how.
See, all you gotta do is rub that lamp, and I'll say:

"Mr. Aladdin, sir, what will your pleasure be?
Let me take your order, jot it down?"
You ain't never had friend like me

Life is your restaurant and I'm your maitre'd
Come on whisper what it is you want;
You ain't never had friend like me!

Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service.
You're the boss! The king! The shah!
Say what you wish; it's yours, true dish.
How 'bout a little more baklava?

Have some of column A, try All of column B!
I'm in the mood to help you, dude!
You ain't never had friend like me!

Oh my. No no. My my my.
Can your friends do this?
Can your friends do that?
Can your friends pull this
Out their little hat?
Can your friends go poof?
Well lookie here!
Can your friends go abracadabra, let her RIP!
And then make the sucker disappear?

So don't just sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed,
I'm here to answer all your mid-day prayers,
You've got me bona fide certified;
You've got a genie for charge d'affaires.

I've got a powerful urge to help you out,
So what's your wish? I really wanna know!
You've got a list that's three miles long, no doubt,
Well all you've gotta do is rub like so, and oh ­-

Mr. Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three.
I'm on the job you big nabob!
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend,
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend,
You ain't never. Had a. FRIEND. LIIIKE. MEEEEEEEEE!!!
You ain't never had a friend like me!


I am your neighbor. I seem most respectable,
But underneath I'm an iniquitous toad.
So many dreadful mishaps have befallen you ---
Down at the end of your road.
And I live down the end of your road.

I'm working on ways to remove you from paradise ---
From your striped lawn and your new swimming pool.
I place broken bottles in your geraniums ---
Sabotage your gardening tools.
And I live down the end of your road.

By day I am a real estate gentleman.
I deal in fine properties --- cheap at the price.
After dark, I plan my most devious practices
Which you might think are not very nice.

Designing a system to reverse your plumbing ---
Welling up, as you sit on your private throne.
Will come up all kinds of vile and despicable nasties
You would rather not have in your home.
And I live down the end of your road.

Dispensed loathsome creatures in your drawing room,
Sent doggy poo-poos in your morning mail.
Rat's heads and lark's wings should set your tums turning
And your houses will soon be for sale.
And I live down the end of your road.

I live down the end of your road.


I never felt so much like I was starting over
I never felt so overwhelmed all the time
I know I've lived here a lot in these past years
The road is open, I don't know what's left to find

And I'm asking myself every minute
Is it worth it? Is this what I need?
As we all stare out the same window
We've been here before, what does that say about me?

The puzzle pieces are falling right into place
The picture forming isn't what I thought it would be
If this is all I am, all that I can do
What does that really say about me?

It's a long way home, it's a long way home
Sometimes I don't think that we'll make it
It's a long way home (it's a long way home)
It's a long way home (it's a long way home)
Sometimes I don't think that we'll make it

Bridge Under Fire - "No I Don't Want To Hang Out With You, Now Bring Me To Taco Bell And Take Me Home"


I dug my fingers in the earth
Drew you pictures of my pain
They were so pretty
They were so vain

Put your hands in the water,
Let it touch you everywhere
Boat of my father, cut from my

Mother, father
I'm lonely
I'm an
Only

I learned to put on airs,
I needed them to breathe
Today I wake up
And tell myself this is me

Now this is home
But the property's on loan
So much for letting go
I'm picking up the phone

Mother, father
I'm lonely
I'm an
Only

It's coming through a hole in the air,
from those nights in Tiananmen Square.
It's coming from the feel
that this ain't exactly real,
or it's real, but it ain't exactly there.
From the wars against disorder,
from the sirens night and day,
from the fires of the homeless,
from the ashes of the gay:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
It's coming through a crack in the wall;
on a visionary flood of alcohol;
from the staggering account
of the Sermon on the Mount
which I don't pretend to understand at all.
It's coming from the silence
on the dock of the bay,
from the brave, the bold, the battered
heart of Chevrolet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming from the sorrow in the street,
the holy places where the races meet;
from the homicidal b#&$~in'
that goes down in every kitchen
to determine who will serve and who will eat.
From the wells of disappointment
where the women kneel to pray
for the grace of God in the desert here
and the desert far away:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Sail on, sail on
O mighty Ship of State!
To the Shores of Need
Past the Reefs of Greed
Through the Squalls of Hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.

It's coming to America first,
the cradle of the best and of the worst.
It's here they got the range
and the machinery for change
and it's here they got the spiritual thirst.
It's here the family's broken
and it's here the lonely say
that the heart has got to open
in a fundamental way:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming from the women and the men.
O baby, we'll be making love again.
We'll be going down so deep
the river's going to weep,
and the mountain's going to shout Amen!
It's coming like the tidal flood
beneath the lunar sway,
imperial, mysterious,
in amorous array:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Sail on, sail on ...

I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene.
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight,
getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
that Time cannot decay,
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
this little wild bouquet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Alone, afraid, the kids your mother made
Sitting in your room drooling like a loser with all this doom...
You think, then you start to drink,
Then you get so paranoid with all the drugs they fill you with *then boom*
Does it make you feel like a man? *boom*
It's not the size we understand *boom*
You think you're gonna get with me,
You're never gonna get with me,
You're never gonna dance with me!

I admit, I feel like you, like s&%#,
But I don't go out and take it out on everyone about it...
We're all part of the system...
You wanna start a war?
YOU THINK ANYONE WOULD LISTEN!?

Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Everybody's got one, there's nothing new about it
Want to make a statement?
You should have come without it...

You turn the TV on, watch it if you dare
You see a politician and you start to pull your hair
Look in two dimensions see there's really nothing there
You want it so much you think they think they f&~*ing care *and boom*
Do you think they hear you now? (and boom)
Making noises in the crowd
All in the way that you're using
You love it so much then why do you abuse it?

Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Everybody's got one, there's nothing new about it
Want to make a statement?
You should have come without it

We're all part of the system
Load em up, shoot em down,
But you keep f#@&ing missing

(We're all part of the system
Load em up, shoot em down
But you keep f+!+ing missing)

Alone, afraid, you want to make em pay

Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Everybody's got one, there's nothing new about it
Want to get the girl?
Then you should have come without it

Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?

She keeps Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake,' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline

Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined

Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild..
She's all out to get you

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try...


I was watching my TV one night, when they broke in with a special report
About some devastating earthquake in Peru
There were thirty thousand crushed to death, even more were buried alive
On the Richter scale it measured eight-point-two

And I said, God, please answer me one question
Why'd they have to interrupt The Simpsons just for this?
What a drag, 'cause I was taping it and everything
And now I'll have to wait for the rerun to see the part of the show I missed

Why does this always happen?
Why does this always happen to me?
Why does this always happen?
Why does this always happen to me?
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba

I was driving down the highway when all the traffic slowed to a crawl
There was a twelve-car pile-up, everybody dead
And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere
As well as my friend Robert's disembodied head

And I thought, poor Rob, I just had lunch with him...
Hey, wait a minute, he still owes me money, what a jerk!
Well, there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again
Plus now on top of everything else it looks like I'm gonna be late to work

Why does this always happen?
Why does this always happen to me?
Why does this always happen?
Why does this always happen to me?
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba

Oh, the other day, my boss said we were running low on toner
And he told me I should buy another case
Well, I told him I was busy, but he still just kept on asking
So I turned around and stabbed him in the face

And wouldn't you know it, my knife got stuck
I guess that's probably bound to happen now and then
But I'm afraid I may have bent the tip a little
And I know that blade will never ever be quite as sharp again

Oh, tell me why does this always happen?
Why does this always happen to me?
Why does this always happen?
Why does this always happen to me?

Why does this always happen to me?

O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.

Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.

Sors salutis

michi nunc contraria,

semper in angaria.
Hac in hora

sternit fortem,

Eve Of Destruction
Barry McGuire

The eastern world it tis explodin',
Violence flarin', bullets loadin',
You're old enough to kill but not for votin',
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin',
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
And Can't you feel the fear that I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave,
Take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin',
I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin',
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,
Handful of Senators don't pass legislation,
And marches alone can't bring integration,
When human respect is disintegratin',
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin',
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Think of all the hate there is in Red China!
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
Ah, you may leave here, for eight days in space,
But when your return, it's the same old place,
The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace,
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
Hate your next door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace,
And you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong,
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along.

And so you're back from outer space.
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

Go on now, go. Walk out the door
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh, no, not I!
I will survive!
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
And I'll survive,
I will survive, hey, hey.

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
And I spent, oh, so many nights just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry but now I hold my head up high.

And you see me somebody new.
I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you.
And so you felt like dropping in,
And just expect me to be free.
And now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me.

[2x]
Go on now, go. Walk out the door.
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I!
I will survive!
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
And I'll survive,
I will survive!

Misty morning, clouds in the sky
Without warning, the wizard walks by
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell
Funny clothes, tinkling bell

Never talking
Just keeps walking
spreading his magic

Evil power disappears
Demons worry when the wizard is near
He turns tears into joy
Everyone's happy when the wizard walks by

Never talking
Just keeps walking
spreading his magic

Sun is shining, clouds have gone by
All the people give a happy sigh
He has passed by, giving his sign
Left all the people feeling so fine

Never talking
Just keeps walking
spreading his magic

Silver Crusade

Sticks and stones
Battle zones
A single light bulb
On a single thread for the black
Sirens wail
History fails
Rose-colored glass
Begins to age and crack
While the politicians shadowbox
The power ring
In an endless split decision
Never solve anything
From a neighbor's distant land
I heard the strain of the common man

Let it be me
(this is not a fighting song)
Let it be me
(not a wrong for a wrong)
Let it be me
If the world is night
Shine my life like a light

Well the world seems spent
And the president
Has no good idea
Of who the masses are
Well I'm one of them
And I'm among friends
We're trying to see beyond
The fences in our own backyards
I've seen the kingdoms blow
Like ashes in the winds of change
But the power of truth
Is the fuel for the flame
So the darker the ages get
There's a stronger beacon yet

Let it be me
(this is not a fighting song)
Let it be me
(not a wrong for a wrong)
Let it be me
If the world is night
Shine my life like a light

In the kind word you speak
In the turn of the cheek
When your vision stays clear
In the face of your fear
Then you see turning out a light switch
Is their only power
When we stand like spotlights
In a mighty tower
All for one and one for all
Then we sing the common call

Let it be me
(this is not a fighting song)
Let it be me
(not a wrong for a wrong)
Let it be me
If the world is night
Shine my life like a light

Zoo time is she and you time
The mammals are your favorite type, and you want her tonight
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Flying domestic flying
And when the stewardess is near do not show any fear
Heartbeat increasing heartbeat
You are a khaki-colored bombardier, it's Hiroshima that you're nearing
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Daily, except for Sunday
You dawdle into the cafe where you meet her each day
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you do
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Shower, another shower
You've got to look your best for her and be clean everywhere
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
The rain is pouring on the foreign town, the bullets cannot cut you down
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Census, the latest census
There'll be more girls who live in town though not enough to go round
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You know that, this town isn't big enough, not big enough for both of us
This town isn't big enough, not big enough for both of us
I ain't gonna leave

One of the greatest songs of all time, featuring one of my all-time favorite intro parts: "This Town Isn't Big Enough For Both Of Us," by Sparks


We've been doing this one for years but it's still relevant, unfortunately

Open your eyes time to wake up
Enough is enough is enough is enough

We're taught that after the war the Nazis vanished without a trace
But battalions of fascists still dream of a master race
The history books they tell of their defeat in forty-five
But they all come out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died

They say the prisoner of Spandau was a symbol of defeat
Whilst Hess remained imprisoned and the fascists they were beat
So the promise of an Aryan world would never materialize
So why did they all come out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died

The world is riddled with maggots--the maggots are getting fat
They're making a tasty meal of all the bosses and bureaucrats
They're taking over the board rooms and they're fat and full of pride
And they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died

Have I not
Been too long in the shadows of invention and creation
As I rightfully behold the flesh
Fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away

My word and world holds ground and is real
Your word is like floods of poisoned water
A language spoken with spit from different tongues

It all seems like an eternity
This battle between us two
"Good and evil"
Me and you

Time has come to step up
And take back what you took from me

My word and world holds ground and is real
Your word is like floods of poisoned water
A language spoken with spit from different tongues
You can never corrupt me again

Time has come to step up
And take back what you took from me
You can never corrupt me again

I protect every man guilty of sin
The ultimate sin being me
The vapor from the plague
That infested my mind, body and soul
Obscured my view from wisdom
The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared
And troubles me no more


I'm under the shower, in the Metal Tower
I wash my hands from the poser's blood
I clean up my armpits, perfume my true hair
Then I polish my long flesh sword
And I say:

Metal! - LA LA LA LA LA

L'acqua sul mio corpo, scivola leggera [The water sweetly runs on my body]
Uuuuuuuuuuaaaaaa, ci starei fino a stasera [Yeeeeeeeeeah, I'd stay here until this evening]

With pride I recall, the battles that I fought
And proudly I'm singing this song
SING IT LOUD !!!!

[Guy:] "Oh, ciao!" [Oh, hello.]
[Big man:] "Ciao." [Hello.]
[G:] "Anche tu sotto la doccia?" [So, you're in the shower, too?]
[M:] "Evidentemente si. [Obviously, yes.]
[M:] "Oh, noto - con piacere - che ti caduta la saponetta." [Oh, I see, I - gladly - see, that your soap fell down.]
[G:] "Ah, si, grazie! La raccolgo subito." [Ah, yes, thanks. I'll pick it up right now.]

[Sample from Dario Argento's Suspiria]

[M:] "Ehehehe..." [Laughs]

I don't like my mind right now
Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary
Wish that I could slow things down
I wanna let go but there's comfort in the panic
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
Yeah I drive myself crazy
Cause I can't escape the gravity

I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy

You say that I'm paranoid
But I'm pretty sure the world is out to get me
It's not like I make the choice
To let my mind stay so f~+~ing messy
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning round me just the same
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning round me just the same

I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy

I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning round me just the same
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning round me just the same
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me

I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy


Here's to being human
All the pain and suffering
There's beauty in the bleeding
At least you feel something

I wish I knew what it was like
To care enough to carry on
I wish I knew what it was like
To find a place where I belong, but

I am machine
I never sleep
I keep my eyes wide open
I am machine
A part of me
Wishes I could just feel something
I am machine
I never sleep
Until I fix what's broken
I am machine
A part of me
Wishes I could just feel something

Here's to being human
Taking it for granted
The highs and lows of living
To getting second chances

I wish I knew what it was like
To care about what's right or wrong
I wish someone could help me find
Find a place where I belong, but

I am machine
I never sleep
I keep my eyes wide open
I am machine
A part of me
Wishes I could just feel something
I am machine
I never sleep
Until I fix what's broken
I am machine
A part of me
Wishes I could just feel something

It wasn't supposed to be this way
We were meant to feel the pain
I don't like what I am becoming
Wish I could just feel something

I am machine
I never sleep
I keep my eyes wide open
I am machine
A part of me
Wishes I could just feel something
I am machine
I never sleep
Until I fix what's broken
I am machine
A part of me
Wishes I could just feel something.

Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Lydia the tattooed lady!
She has eyes that men adore so
And a torso even more so
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
Lydia, the queen of tattoo!
On her back is the Battle of Waterloo
Beside it the Wreck of the Hesperus, too
And proudly above waves the red, white and blue
You can learn a lot from Lydia!

(la la la la la la)

When her robe is unfurled, she will show you the world
If you step up and tell her where
For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paris
Or Washington crossing the Delaware

(la la la la la la)
(la la la la la la)

Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Lydia the tattooed lady!
When her muscles start relaxin'
Up the hill comes Andrew Jackson
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
Lydia, the queen of tattoo!
For two bits she will do a mazurka in jazz
With a view of Niagara that nobody has
And on a clear day, you can see Alcatraz
You can learn a lot from Lydia!

(la la la la la la)
(la la la la la la)

Come along and see Buffalo Bill with his lasso
Just a little classic by Mendel Picasso
Here's Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon
Here's Godiva but with her pajamas on

(la la la la la la)
(la la la la la la)

Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
Lydia, the queen of them all!
She once swept an admiral clean off his feet
The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat
And now the old boy's in command of the fleet
For he went and married Lydia!

I said Lydia!
(He said Lydia)
I said Lydia!
(He said Lydia)
OLE!

Straight from the Land of the Linnorm Kings

There comes Fenris' twin
His jaws are open wide
The serpent rises from the waves

Jormungandr twists and turns
Mighty in his wrath
The eyes are full of primal hate

Thor! Odin's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate
Your destiny awaits
Thor! Hlödyn's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate
Ragnarök awaits

Vingtor rise to face
The snake with hammer high
At the edge of the world

Bolts of lightning fills the air
as Mjölnir does it's work
the dreadfull serpent roars in pain

Thor! Odin's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate
Your destiny awaits
Thor! Hlödyn's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate
Ragnarök awaits

Mighty Thor grips the snake
Firmly by its tongue
Lifts his hammer high to strike
Soon his work is done
Vingtor sends the giant snake
Bleeding to the depth
Twilight of the thundergod
Ragnarök awaits
Twilight of the thunder god
Twilight of the thunder god
Twilight of the thunder god
Twilight of the thunder god

Thor! Odin's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate
Your destiny awaits
Thor! Hlödyn's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate
Ragnarök awaits

We've been together for so very long
But now things are changing, oh I wonder what's wrong?
Seems you don't want me around
The passion is gone and the flame's died down
I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem
That time that you made it with the whole hockey team
You used to think I was nice
Now you tell all your friends that I'm the Antichrist

Oh, why did you disconnect the brakes in my car?
That kind of thing is hard to ignore
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

I knew that we were having problems when
You put those piranhas in my bathtub again
You're still the light of my life
Oh darling, I'm beggin', won't you put down that knife?
You know, I even think it's kinda cute the way
You poison my coffee just a little each day
I still remember the way that you laughed
When you pushed me down that elevator shaft

Oh, if you don't mind me asking, what's this poisonous cobra
Doing in my underwear drawer?
Sometime I get to thinking you don't love me any more

You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill
Now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will
You set my house on fire
You pulled out my chest hairs with an old pair of pliers
Oh, you think I'm ugly and you say I'm cheap
You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep
You drilled a hole in my head
Then you dumped me in a drainage ditch and left me for dead

Oh, you know this really isn't like you at all
You never acted this way before
Honey, something tells me you don't love me any more, oh no no
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

I took back my hand and I showed him the door, no dollar of mine would I part with this day
For fueling the engines of bloody cruel war in my forefather's land far away
Who fled the first Famine wearing all that they owned, were called 'Navigators', all ragged and torn
And built the Grand Trunk here, and found a new home wherever their children were born

Their sons have no politics. None call recall allegiance from long generations before
O'this or O'that name can't matter at all, or be cause enough for to war
And meanwhile my babies are safe in their home, unlike their pale cousins who cower and cry
While kneecappers nail their poor Dads to the floor and teach them to hate and to die

It's those cruel beggars who spurn the fair coin, the peace for their kids they could take at their will
Since the day old King Billy prevailed at the Boyne, they've bombed and they've maimed and they've killed
Now they cry out for money and wail at the door, but Home Rule or Republic, 'tis all of it shame
And a curse for us here who want nothing of war, we're kindred in nothing but name

All rights and all wrongs have long since blown away, for causes are ashes where children lie slain
Yet the damned U.D.I and the cruel I.R.A will tomorrow go murdering again
But no penny of mine will I add to the fray. "Remember the Boyne!" they will cry out in vain
For I've given my heart to the place I was born, and forgiven the whole House of Orange
King Billy and the whole House of Orange

Burning fires, burning lives
On the long distant roads
Through the lost mountains endless
So far away from home

Crossing battles savage seas towards the mountains high
Forest plains of wilderness we're striking out tonight
On towards our destiny we travel far and wide
Journey through the darkness as your hearts refuse to die

In the flames of hell we fire at will the fires of doom has come
With the forces of the blackest knights they're staring at the sun
Far across the distant plains of ice we're searching for the sword
When the time has come for the battle now we follow with the horde

We will ride with fire burning hot towards the night sky
In the land of long ago forever in our souls
Fly on wings of shining steel are burning so bright
In ancient lands of warriors we're riding on again

Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads
Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home
Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago
We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home

Fallen soldiers taste the steel of death the daylight dawning
Sun will shine upon the lives of burning hearts of ice
As you break through the boundaries of life this feeling of despair
And they die in their sleep for the world that will not care
You feel lost in this labyrinth of pain this sickening dismay
There's a voice inside that's calling another wasted day

Can't you see the history the suffocating madness
In the land of fallen souls there's nowhere left no place to go
I have traveled far and wide across this wasteland
Still searching for the answers for the right to understand

Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads
Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home
Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago
We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home

Riding through the starlight and smashing the boundaries as hellfire falls from the sky
A shadow of pain will arise from the ashes of those fallen ones who have died
Our only master with fire and fury of hell will see his bidding done
Blasting from high as the battle unfolds to the gates of the city we come

(With intense soloing all throughout)
