Tracks



01. Cold Day In Hell

I look to God for an answer
I hope and pray that it won't take too long
Help me, I've been captured
Won't someone help me so I can be strong

In the morning, will I wake up to more of your lies
Someone help me before I break up
Please open my eyes

It's been a cold day in hell
It's a cold day in hell
Yes I'm alone; Can't you tell
That it's a cold day in hell

Thought I was safe, thought I was warm
You know you blinded me by all that you've done
Oh I won't let it win her
It's the power that hides in us all

In the evening I see 20/20
Was your slave, now I'm wise
Your hold was binding, that was my motivation
No more of your lies

It's been a cold day in hell
It's a cold day in hell
Yes I'm alone; Can't you tell
That it's a cold day in hell

A new morning, it was a new horizon
You gonna give what I take
I'm like a devil of your own creation
For heaven sakes

02. Loaded Gun

I'm a back street man, don't ya get me started
I've been down on your luck for so long
Can't get much harder
I'm stone cold, stone cold
Look what you done, I'm a loaded gun

I won't believe all the things that you say
Don't take me for granted
An honest man ain't got no chance
The way the odds have been slanted
Stone cold, stone cold, down to the bone

You're gonna know just how it feels
You'll get to the grip of steel

I'm a loaded gun
With nowhere to run
I'm a loaded gun
Since the day I was born

I'm a love hunter lookin' for you - no use in hiding
I've been fooled by your love for so long
No use in fighting stone cold, stone cold, down to the bone

I'm a loaded gun
With nowhere to run
I'm a loaded gun
Since the day I was born

I'm at the end of my rope it's true
Been loving you so strong
Hey hangman, hangman, been in your noose for so long

You're gonna know just how it feels
Here comes your very last meal, tell you what's gonna come

I'm a loaded gun
With nowhere to run
I'm a loaded gun
Since the day I was born

03. Itchycoo Park

Over bridge of sights
To rest my eyes in shades of green
Under dreamin' spires
To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been
What did you do there? - I got high
What did you feel there? - Well I cried
But why the tears then? - I'll tell you why

It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun

Tell you what I'll do
I'd like to go there now with you
You can miss out school
Why go to learn the words of fools?
What will we do there? - We'll get high
What will we touch there? - We'll touch the sky
But why the tears then? - I'll tell you why

It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun

It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful

04. Terrified

In the arms of a falling knight
I run from the voices right behind me
And I look and there's no one there
But the fear is everywhere around me - It surrounds me

And I'm terrified
I really don't know which way to run or where to hide
I'm terrified of the dirty deeds and dreams I've left behind

When I think of the things I've done
I know I'll still be on the run tomorrow
There's a strange feeling in the air
On the road that I'm too scared to follow

And I know that I'm terrified
I really don't know which way to run or where to hide
I'm terrified of the dirty deeds and dreams I've left behind
I'm terrified and I don't know where to hide

It's too late to change my mind
Cause I feel that there is where they'll find me
There's a place that I once called home
Now I can't return, I'll be alone forever

Terrified, I really don't know which way to run or where to hide
I'm terrified of the dirty deeds and dreams I've left behind
I'm terrified there's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
I'm terrified scared of the dark scared of the light

05. Rude Boy

I've given and been taken
Time has made me wise
You can't negotiate it - between the sheets and in the lines

I tried to be healthy, wealthy and wise
It's trouble that made me just a victim of your lies
I say no - I won't be what you want me to be
And so you can't tell if I'm fake or if I'm real

I'm just a rude boy - I don't pay no mind
I got a big stick - it makes a big noise
I won't start no fight - again I might
My reputation's got a life of it's own

A mover who can shake her
Ruffled feathers of the best
The earth - I tried to quake her
I put it to the test
I said no - I won't buy what you want me to sell
So I won't show what you want me to tell

I'm just a rude boy - I don't pay no mind
I got a big stick - it makes a big noise
I won't start no fight - again I might
My reputation's got a life of it's own

I'm bolder and I'm wiser
I've seen what you believe
But if you look for trouble
I'm more than you conceived

06. Dirty Lover

I want a dirty lover
I got a dirty lover
She's always nasty but she's never clean
You know what I mean

Ya move like a hot and nasty girl
So hungry and mean
And I'm thinking it's hot red love you need
Hot red love

Your the poison that addicts me
You make the black cat moan
On the road to ruin, ruin
My happy home, ah yeah

And I've had quite enough
Of not having enough
I've got less and that was more
Much more than I bargained for

I want a dirty love
I got a dirty lover
She's always nasty but she's never clean
I want a dirty love
I gotta find another
She's never dirty - so obscene

Comin' on like a sweet, sweet angel
I'm in too deep
Can't disguise the devil
You walk his beat

And I'm on the brink, I can't stand
I can't stand the heat
Ooh baby looks like the jokes' on me

I'm like a guided missile
You're the heat I seek
Everytime you whistle
You make my knees so weak

I want a dirty love
I got a dirty lover
She's always nasty, she's never clean
I want a dirty love
I gotta find another
She's never dirty - it's so obscene

I want a dirty love under the covers
Not a dirty undercover lie
I want a girl that really satisfies
No more dirty lies

I want a dirty love
I got a dirty lover
She's always nasty, she's never clean
I want a dirty love
I gotta find another
She's never dirty - it's so obscene

I want a dirty love
I found a dirty lover
I want a dirty love
Dirty, dirty, dirty love
I like it dirty babe - I can't come clean

07. Psycho City

I'm a hero to the sinner
Got a rep that I can't shake
Classify me lonely
Order at your own risk - can't cancel the pain
By moanin' and a groanin'
Speak now or forever hold your peace
Stay out if you can't stand the heat

Whatever you want - whatever you need
It's psycho city
They got a cure - that you'll prefer
In psycho city

You wanna have your cake and eat it
Middle of the road
The candle burns at both ends
You won't recover from a lover who tries to steal your fate
Ain't no use in running
Hard knocks - the school that you're running
Money talk - ever when you're comin'

Whatever you want - whatever you need
It's psycho city
They got a cure - that you'll prefer
In psycho city

Living in the city baby - living kinda lean
Fall between the cracks now baby
Hard to keep it clean
Everybody wants you lately - ain't no good at all
Look at all the crazies waiting for the chips to fall

Whatever you want - whatever you need
It's in the city
A magic cure - that you'll prefer
You'll find the thing that you want
You'll get everything that you need

Whatever you want - whatever you need
It's psycho city
They got a cure - that you'll prefer
In psycho city

08. Rude, Crude Mood

Five o'clock shadow
Blood shot eyes
My best friends tell me I'm a nasty guy
I've got bad habits, I can't deny
I'm underpaid and dissatisfied

I'm not your run-of-the-mill
No, not your typical boy
Don't wind me up or you will be annoyed

I'm in a rude, crude mood
Get out of my way
I'm in a rude, crude mood
Having a real bad day
What can I say?

Won't take what I'm given, I'm making a fuss
Give me anymore and baby I'm gonna bust
What's my problem, please don't ask
It don't take much for me to kick some ass

I'm not the king of the hill
No, just a demons toy
Don't wind me up or you might be destroyed

I'm in a rude, crude mood
Get out of my way
I'm in a rude, crude mood
Having a real bad day
I'm in a rude, crude mood
Get out of my way
(I'm coming to get ya)

Coming out for you

Rude, crude mood
Get out of my way
I've gotta rude, crude mood
Having a real bad day
I'm in a rude, crude mood
Get out, get out, get out of my way

Rude, crude mood
Rude, crude mood
Rude, crude mood

09. Little Angel

You better look a little bit closer
To see what's in your hands
I've always thought a city girl would understand

We've only got a little more time
And it won't last forever
I don't know about you, but I'd like to make this a night to remember

Hold on - won't you hold on to me tighter
Hold on - I can see that your a fighter
Hold on - together 'til the night is over

Take a ride with me little angel
Spend the night with me little angel
You've got the devil's eyes and such a pretty face
You're all I need tonight

I knew what you wanted when I first saw that twinkle in your eyes
Why don't you come and get it girl
Hey don't be shy
I'm looking for trouble and I'm on the run
Can't you feel me burning
That's the one thing I know I got to get you alone
Cause the wheels of love are turning

Hold on - won't you hold on to me tighter
Hold on - I can see that your a fighter
Hold on - together 'til the night is over

Take a ride with me little angel
Spend the night with me little angel
You've got the devil's eyes and such a pretty face
You're all I need tonight

10. Resurrection

[Instrumental]

11. Wishing Well

Take off your hat kick off your shoes
I know you ain't going anywhere
Run around the town singing your blues
I know you ain't going anywhere

You have always been a good friend of mine
But you're always say farewell
And the only time that you are satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well

Throw down your gun you might shoot yourself
Or is that what you are tryin' to do
Put up a fight you believe to be right
And someday the sun will shine through

You have always got something to hide
Something you just can't tell
And the only time that you are satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well

But I know what you're wishing for
Love and a peaceful world
Love and a peaceful world
You want love and a peaceful world

You have always been a good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you are satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well

Everybody has a dream
Everybody has a wish
