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

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
3.
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
5.
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
6.
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
7.
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
8.
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
9.
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
10.
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
12.
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
13.
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
