Big In Korea
03:05
|
|||
My plane is touching down, I’m back in my favourite place
Busan, Daegu, Inchon, barricades up, just in case
Down here, you will see, I’m a well-known face
It’s where I’m meant to be. I’m big in Korea
This European rocker is a Seoul man underneath
The people lose their minds when I walk the city streets
Back home, no-one realizes what it means
They just have no idea: I’m big in Korea
And now I’m stuck out West, nothing for me but heartache
Hang tough, Han-Gook. I’ll be back soon, make no mistake
Not just a VIP, I’m Bulgasari-sized
If I’ve not made it clear: I’m big in Korea

High On Gasoline
03:21
|

One more day, one more dollar
I’ve grown tired of this whole damned place
I’ll be leaving tomorrow, couldn’t stand another day
Hit the road, engine running
I’ll be changing my scene
See you soon ‘cause I’m going
And I’m flying high on gasoline
Done with the shit and the squalor
Heading East on the M62
Getting drunk on horsepower, fired up, burning through my fuel
Pedal down, pistons pumping
I’ll be hitting my speed
Pressure’s up, heart is thumping
And I’m flying high on gasoline

All The Same
04:02
|
|||
No sense in beating around the bush, I’m leaving
It is time to blow the whistle on this game
I know you’ll tell me, through remorseful tears and yelling
You can change but my mind’s made up, I’m gone today
I’ve had enough, can’t stand the hate
Can’t bear the brunt for all that rage
Won’t be your punchbag for one more day
Yet I still love you, all the same
Want no more screaming, had enough, so yes, I’m leaving
It is time to drop the curtain on this play
Sure, you’ve got baggage but I’ve simply bloody had it
Running circles, never ending, I’m away
No sense in beating around the bush, I’m leaving
It is time to bust the lock right off this cage.
I know you’ll beg me, and you think that you mean it,
You’ve learned your lesson. I have, too, I cannot stay

Harlequinade
02:52
|
|||
Our zombie love, ice cold but won't lay down and die
Grey rags on mouldering bones, red madness in its eyes
Oh, it doesn't know it's dead, hungering for living flesh
Its heart has stopped but you've got to take its head
Oh baby, are you entertained; locked in our Harlequinade?
A smile painted on each face
While deep inside, our poor hearts break
Shambling indifference that consumes each other’s lives
Reanimated pain from before our mutual demise
Oh, but now it's tooth and claw, an eternal war
Perpetual disdain, and nothing more

Housebreaker
03:35
|
|||
I’m feeling needy and that’s no lie
Not being greedy, want slice of your pie
While I’ve got nothing but self-belief
You’ve got that something and I want a piece
You’ve got it, I want it, I just can’t get enough
I need it, believe it, my hot hands on your stuff
You’ve got it, I want it and it is mine to have
I need it, believe it
Oh, you’re a willing target
And I’m a cunning taker
While you don’t keep your doors locked
I’ll be your night-time housebreaker
I’m creeping slinky round your porch
My hand wound tight around my trusty torch
Stealthy does it, slow and sly
Jemmy your back door and then slip inside
I sneak in easy, just slide right in
Doormat says, “Welcome”, though it’s not pristine
But I’m no trophy and I don’t mind
My swag bag’s bulging as I rob and roll you blind

Touching God
04:01
|
|||
I’m no believer but I tell you, this is true
When I’m with you, I’m touching God
Take me to heaven, babe, with all the things you do
You lay me down and … Lord above
Oh, communion running hot
Entwined, mutually defrocked
Unbind my mind, verging on the divine
When I’m with you, I’m touching God
Now, I’m no priest but babe, your temple stirs my zeal
I kneel to worship at your font
We’ve found our paradise right here, it’s corporeal
When you’re with me, oh … holy cross
Lay your grace on me, I soar
Receive the flesh of my saviour
Praise be, bless me, oh this sweet blasphemy
When I’m with you, I’m touching God

That Was My Life
03:40
|
|||
Midnight and drowning in the dark again
Going down for the third time, in over my head
Cut adrift and struggling a long, long way from shore
Cold gnawing on my bones, sucking out the warmth
I hitched it all to rock and roll and don’t forget that, honey
In the pitch black of the night
It wasn’t you, was never you that I grew tired of loving
While I grew tired of living
Knew you could not keep giving
Forgiving
That was my life
Pen scratches out my will to be an afterthought
A ragged testament to all that’s gone before
Last gasp and sinking swallowed by the undertow
Cast off and knot the rope, set sail forever more

While We Sleep/They Live
05:09
|
|||
It’s a travesty what we’ve let our world become
A proper tragedy what we’ve allowed them to do to us
There’s a law for the rich, far more for the poor
And they’re taking it all, they’ve just got to have more
No morality: the despotism of the strong
Strong men are what we want, the weak trodden underfoot
They live, they rule our lives
They live out in plain sight
Their rapacity knows no bounds or checks
Their voracity will drive us to the edge
And we hand them the power, time and again
The keys to the castle on a gilded chain
It’s insanity and it will prove to be our end
Dark times are here, my friend, hold tight while we descend
The brutality of the system’s evident
The criminality of their conduct manifest
Yet they’re feted and honoured, adorned with all
Our tawdry baubles and awards
In the fallacy they’re doing it for the best
Well, yeah, what’s best for them, feeding on the mayhem

Storm Clouds Coming
03:42
|
|||
I see the storm clouds coming: North, South, East, West, boiling black
Voltaic, the air is humming, pregnant with the thunderclap
Forget those blue horizons, the world’s turned cold
The thunder rolls
I feel the tempest rising, raising the hairs on my arms
The sky racked taut as a bowstring before the gale’s advance
Forget that halcyon future, the wild wind blows
The thunder rolls
I sense the deluge upon us by the lead weight in my lungs
Malignant, drenched in malice, something wicked this way comes
Forget those sunlit uplands, a dark rain will fall
The thunder rolls

Run Down
04:58
|
|||
The cold light of this new dawn violates me
Permeates me
The dank sweat, it feels poured on, saturates me
It pervades me
I get back up, keep on getting back up
Just to get floored over again
Been let down and messed around
Since I can’t remember when
And yeah, self-pity, that’s how it sounds
But from my pitch here on the ground
I’m out of kilter, out of whack, run down
The rise of this new order, this transforming
We scorned the warnings
And they will give no quarter
It’s the dawning of the warring
|
||||
11. |
||||
Back sitting at the bar, it’s just my thoughts and me
And sometimes, well, they can be dangerous company
Ain’t been drinking all day, yet, got a couple of hours to go
In a sorry state again, I’ll catch Hell when I get home
Doing it to myself, messing up again
Misfiring on all cylinders, playing nought from ten
Maybe a compulsion, a need for some self-harm
To still the racket in my head, have some time on my own
Maybe it’s a sickness, crossed wires in my brain
Chases out the shadows but lands me in the crap again
I’m staring into the abyss. It stares back and I shiver
I see the point of no return, clear in my rear-view mirror

Special Needs
04:15
|
|||
Right here, babe, I’ve got what you want
All wound up and hot to trot
Let’s get to the serious action
Grab some mutual satisfaction
And give it everything we’ve got
I’ll wear the gimp mask, you hold the leash
The toys are charged up and it’s time to get obscene
You buckle up now, safe word’s agreed
You are the one who can fulfil my special needs
Right here, babe, got an itch to scratch
So, crack that strap across my back
Inflict your lascivious lashing
Mete out my salacious thrashing
Oh, lay it on, that sweet attack
|

Ash
05:14
|
|||
The wind-blown ash, it falls, it falls
And you are not you anymore
You are not you anymore
The ash-strewn landscape shimmers grey
As all your life-force ebbs away
All your life-force ebbs away
It’s all confusion, locked in the dark
Can’t voice the anguish held in your heart
Locked inside your world of rage
I take your hand to share your pain
I take your hand to share your pain
