BAD ATTITUDE

(The Cross)

Broadsword calling Danny boy
Broadsword calling Danny boy
You know what I feel

They say I gotta
They say I gotta - a bad attitude
You wanna buy a picture of your sister in her birthday suit
No gratitude
Street tough talking but you always get screwed
Hey your face don't fit burn down the school
Only way to stay cool gotta break some rules
Systems made for fools

No aptitude
You get real slow and you slide into decrepitude
It's all platitudes
This one way street always ends in penal servitude
Get out there (get out there)
Get on the street go on and break some rules

You know what I feel
You know what I feel
Rip it up - I gotta bad attitude
Tear it down - I gotta bad attitude

A bad attitude
You can't think straight when you're raised on junk food
No solitude
Somebody help me gotta getta grip on my latitude
You're just a destitute
Your folks don't like it when they see you starring on the news

You know what I feel
You know what I feel
Rip it up - I gotta bad attitude
Tear it down - I gotta bad attitude

You're just a destitute
Some kind of prostitute
Sometimes I just wanna sit back and relax and get me some pulchritude (ha ha)
Lets get stewed
Get crude

A bad attitude

Rip it up - I gotta bad attitude
Tear it down - I gotta bad attitude
Rip it up - I gotta bad attitude
Tear it down - I gotta bad attitude

So don't tell me what I gotta do
I'm sick of wise guys feeding me all these verisimilitudes
I ain't a fool
You'd better watch out honey - I'm one pissed off dude
I gotta bad attitude **@@@!$**

NEW DARK AGES

(Taylor)

Welcome
Welcome

How do you do - what do you say
Welcome to a new dark age
Let's go straight to bed
Love's got out of hand
You must be out of your head

When you feel in the night
This can't happen to you
It's a war that we fight
Yes we do
Yes we do

Welcome to the new dark ages
Welcome to the new dark ages
Oooh yeah
Only love can save us now

Love has become a four letter word
It's past its best and seldom heard
Love's left on the shelf like cigarettes
It's bad for your health

And you feel in the night
It's a scary thing
You believe in what's right
Take care - stop to think

Welcome to the new dark ages
Welcome to the new dark ages

Stop - Take - Care - Think
Is - this - real - love

And you feel in the night
Can this bad dream be true
It's a war that we fight
Don't let it happen to you

Welcome to the new dark ages
Welcome to the new dark ages
Welcome to the new dark ages
Welcome to the new dark ages
Welcome
New dark ages
Welcome to the new dark ages
Welcome to
New dark ages
New dark ages

DIRTY MIND

(Spike Edney)

Some people look for love and affection
That was never my scene
I was looking for a different perfection
I wanna girl that talks mean
Some people go for poets and flowers
Means nothing to me
She's gotta look good in the shower
I'll stay in there for hours and hours

I've been around the world
I wanna lover (I wanna lover)
I wanna lover (I wanna lover)
I wanna lover with a dirty mind
I wanna lover (I wanna lover)
I wanna lover (I wanna lover)
I wanna lover with a dirty mind

Some people look for faith and devotion
They're bringing me down
Why swim against the tide of emotion
When you could be tied down
I'm gonna treat romance like a tumour
I'm cutting it out
I'm sick to death of hearsay and rumour
I need a girl with some sense of humour

I've been around the world
I wanna lover (I wanna lover)
I wanna lover (I wanna lover)
I wanna lover with a dirty mind
I wanna lover (I wanna lover)
I wanna lover (I wanna lover)
I wanna lover with a dirty mind

Every now and then it occurs to me
I'm caught up in the web of morality

Well I've been around the world
And nowhere could I find - yeah
I don't care if she's woman or a girl
I wanna lover with a dirty mind - yeah

I wanna lover (I wanna lover)
I wanna lover
I wanna lover with a dirty mind
I wanna lover (I wanna lover)
I wanna lover (I wanna lover)
I wanna lover with a dirty mind......

BABY IT'S ALRIGHT

(Spike Edney)

I could be your lover
I could be your friend
It's one or the other
Or is that where it ends

Because I never see you
And you never call
I want to be near you
To hold you that's all
Be there if you fall

Baby it's all right
Oh for the first time I could be strong
I need you near me tonight
Must be the right time
How could it be wrong
How could it be wrong

You gave me my heartache
You give me my blues
I'm here in your doorway
I got nothing to lose
And cryin's no use

Baby it's all right
Oh for the first time I could be strong
I need you near me tonight
Must be the right time
How could it be wrong
How could it be wrong

Baby it's all right
Oh for the first time I could be strong - yeah
I need you near me tonight
Must be the right time
How could it be wrong - yeah

And if you should decide honey
You need a love that's good
It ain't about pride
It ain't about manhood
And baby it's all right
Baby it's all right
Honey it's all right
Baby it's all right

AIN'T PUT NOTHIN' DOWN

(Clayton Moss)

You ain't put nothing down down
You ain't put nothing down
You ain't put nothing down boy
You ain't put nothing down

You know you hide from yourself
You know you're turning away
Sometimes you've got to face the world
Take it day by day

Hey sometimes you've got to take a look around
Keep your ear to the ground
You ain't put nothing down
You ain't put nothing down
Gotta stop this fooling around boy
Because you ain't put nothing down

You know you're running away
You've got to win on this race
Give it all that you've got
This human race needs a lot

Because you ain't put nothing down down
You ain't put nothing down
You've got to turn yourself around
You ain't put nothing down

Hey - hey

So many questions - you ask yourself
Better find some answers - don't get left on the shelf

Lost
But now you're found
Lost
Now you're found
Lost

THE ALSO RANS

(Taylor)

Fucked
Again

I was born on the twenty second floor of a bird cage
I was bound to rock - I was born to rage
When your daddy gets drunk and your ma has no hope
And you're tough and you're young and you got enough rope
And you make a wrong turn and you make some mistakes
You run out of control and you ain't got no brakes
And the country's a wreck and the government's cruel
Then you better check out - if you wanna be cool

It's a hard road - in a world that stinks
God have mercy on the man that thinks
It's a hard road - in a world that sucks
God don't love you when you're out of luck

So I work real hard and I earn my pay
And I drink all night - it's the only way
To make some fun out of life - just a little bit more
And when I get up my nerve - I'm gonna rob me a store
Or even find me a girl - you never know your luck
And she'll cook and she'll clean - just to make a few bucks
It's a grand old world - going down the pan
And there ain't no cure - for an also ran

Yeah it's a hard road - in a world that stinks
God have mercy on a man that thinks
Yeah it's a hard road - we're going down the pan
God have mercy on the also rans

You gotta have mercy on the also rans
If you wanna get out you gotta be desperate Dan
You know what I mean
A hard road

It's a hard road - when you're on your own
It's a hard road - when your skin's the wrong tone
It's a hard road - if your face don't fit
It's a hard road - you gotta take a lot of shit

Because God don't love you when you got no bucks
It's a hard road - oh yeah
God don't love you when you're out of luck - yeah

God have mercy (hard road)
God have mercy (hard road)
Have mercy (hard road) on the also rans
(hard road)
God have mercy (hard road)
God have mercy (hard road) on the also rans
Yeah

PUT IT ALL DOWN TO LOVE

(Spike Edney)

Yeah

Well looky over here - coming down the street
It's long face Sally - the saddest girl to meet
She's got all the world's problems - she carries all of our sins
Oh but wait a minute Sally - you gotta mile wide grin

She's got something to smile about
She's found a lover and she wants to shout

Put it all down to love
You know you gotta put it all down to love
You better put it all down to love

Do my eyes deceive - on the other side
Oh it's my pal Joey - the greatest man alive
He's a clown he's a joker - he'll bring you down to your knees
Ah but wait a minute Joey - what are these tears I see

He's gotta reason to cry today
He had a lover but she's gone away

Put it all down to love
You know you really gotta put it all down to love
Put it all down to love

Love's the reason I'm not over you
I'll be the golden bullet in your genetic gun

Put it all down to love

HAND OF FOOLS

(Peter Noone)

Streets echo the last retreat
Dust falls to the ground
A mother cries help

While walking in paradise
Look around and you'll see
We're stripping it bare
Soon there'll be no place to turn

Who plays the hand of fools
With who's God given right
It's out of control
Don't it show

While profit oils the big machines
And we're short changed the facts
Where does it stop
The lifeblood is slipping away every day

And who plays the hand of fools
With who's God given right
It's out of control
It's out of control

And who plays the hand of fools
In a war torn and savage place
It's out of control
And it chills to the bone

And who plays the hand of fools
With who's God given right
It's out of control
It's out of control

And who plays the hand of fools
In a war torn and savage place
It's out of control
And it chills to the bone

And who plays the hand of fools
With who's God given right
It's out of control
It's out of control

LIFE CHANGES

(Moss, Noone, Macrae)

Yeah

Here come the sharpshooters
And teenage looters today
Gotta pistol in their pocket
Gonna blow all your dreams away

They rip through your life
Like a hurricane blowing
Time is the healer alone
And you know it

Here comes the dream weaver
You better believe her today

Life changes around
Don't ask me why I don't know
Love can always be found
Don't ask me why that's how it is
That's how it is

Here come the abusers
To tempt you and lead you astray
In this outlaw ghetto
Your soul is the price that you pay

But out of the darkness
There'll soon come a light
To take you and lead you
Through this endless night

She'll love you and hold you
To keep you from slipping away

Life changes around
Don't ask me why I don't know
Love can always be found
Don't ask me why that's how it is
That's how it is

And I believe in my love for you
How does it feel
Would you feel

Life changes around
Don't ask me how I know that
Love can always be found
Don't ask me why that's how it is

Life it changes around
Don't ask me why I know not
Love can always be found
Don't ask me why that's how it is

Life changes around
Life changes around
Love can always be found
Life changes around
Life changes
Changes around
Life changes around
Changes - life changes around

HEARTLAND

(Peter Noone)

How long can this go on
How long can we see this wrong
And sing the same old song

There's a desert all round me
And the valley of apathy
Far as I could see

I was on the outside
Always looking in
Now I stand
I can't turn and face away

Here I will stay on my own
I will pray all alone
On this stage in the Heartland

When the color of your skin
decides where you begin
Then that's what lies within

So if you walk alone
While others cast a stone
Stay on your own

The changing of the new tide
Something you can't hide
Take your stand
This truth will fade away

Here I will stay on my own
I will pray all alone
On this stage in the Heartland, yeah

I was on the outside
Always looking in
Now I stand
I can't turn and face away

Here I will stay on my own
I will pray all alone
On this stage in the Heartland

Here I will stay
On my own
I will pray
All alone
On this stage
In the Heartland
The Heartland

Here I will stay
On my own
I will pray
I ain't never going home
Alone on the stage
In the Heartland
