Sex Machine by James Brown

Shout:Fellas, I'm ready to get up and do my thing
I wanta get into it, man, you know....
Like a, like a sex machine, man,
Movin'... doin' it, you know
Can I count it off? (Go ahead)

Spoken: One, two, three, four!

Get up, get on up
Get up, get on up
Stay on the scene, like a sex machine

Wait a minute!
Shake your arm, then use your form
Stay on the scene like a sex machine
You got to have the feeling sure as you're born
Get it together right on, right on.

Get up, get on up......

I said the feeling you got to get
Give me the fever in a cold sweat.
The way i like it is the way it is;
I got mine and don't worry' bout his

Get on up and then shake your money maker,
Shake your money maker........
 
Suffer The Children
by
Napalm Death 1990

Your unflappable conceptions
Moralistic views
Never open to criticism
Your overpowering ruse

Promises of sanctuary
In eternal bliss
With starry eyes and cash in hand
Pledge all to the master plan

Just face the truth or fund the farce

At one with your god
your sole intent
Your treasured place assured
For a substantial rent

Global lunacy
Death threats for supposed blasphemy
No room for free thought
All non believers pushed to the floor

Aggressive tyrants
Supposed saints for the cause
Judgement through force
Faith a fuel for pointless wars

When all is done
Who shall benefit? Who is the one?
Not those who pass on
But those dictators divine waving their deceitful wands.
 
RAMMSTEIN - Morgenstern

Sie ist hässlich das es graut,
wenn sie in den Himmel schaut
Dann fürchtet sich das Licht,
scheint ihr von unten ins Gesicht
So muss sie sich am Tag verstecken,
will das Licht doch nicht erschrecken
Lebt im Schatten bis der Schein vergeht
Sieht einen Stern im Zwielicht prangen
und fleht: "Mal mir Schönheit auf die Wangen"

Morgenstern erscheine,
auf das Antlitz mein
Wirf ein warmes Licht,
auf mein Ungesicht
Sag mir ich bin nicht alleine

Hässlich! Du bist hässlich
Du, du bist hässlich
Ich bin allein zur Nacht gegangen,
die späten Vögel nicht mehr sangen
Sah Sonnenkinder im Gewimmel
und so, rief ich in den gestörten Himmel

Morgenstern erscheine,
auf die Liebste meine
Wirf ein warmes Licht,
auf ihr Ungesicht
Sag ihr, sie ist nicht alleine
Morgenstern erscheine,
auf die Seele meine
Wirf ein warmes Licht,
auf ein Herz das bricht
Sag ihr, das ich weine

Denn du, du bist hässlich
Du bist einfach hässlich
Der Mensch ist doch ein Augentier,
schöne Dinge wünsch ich mir
Doch du, du bist nicht schön
Nein

Morgenstern erscheine
Morgenstern erscheine
Morgenstern

Morgenstern erscheine,
auf die Liebste meine
Wirf ein warmes Licht,
auf ihr Ungesicht
Sag ihr, sie ist nicht alleine
und der Stern will scheinen,
auf die Liebste meine
Während die Brust mir bebt,
wo das Leben schlägt
Mit dem Herzen sehen

Sie ist wunderschön

Nobody's Listening--Linkin Park

Peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is
How could you ignore it
We drop right back in the cut
Over basement tracks
With raps that got you backing this up like
[rewind that]
We're just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylistic division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten
But still unforgivin
But in the meantime there are those who wanna
Talk this and that/so I suppose
It gets to a point feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
[it goes]

Try to give you warning
But everyone ignores me
[told you everything loud and clear]
But nobody's listening
Call to you so clearly
But you don't want to hear me
[told you everything loud and clear]
But nobody's listening

I got a
Hear full of pain/head full of stress
Handfull of andger/held in my chest
And everything left is a waste of time
I hate my rhymes
[but hate everyone else's more]
I'm riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that it's better
i can't keep myself together
Because all of this stress
Gave me something to write on
The pain gave me something
I could set my sights on
You never forget the blood sweat and tears
The uphiss struggle over years
The fear and trash talking
And the people it was to
And the people that started it
Just like you

Try to give you warning
But everyone ignores me
[told you everything loud and clear]
But nobody's listening
Call to you so clearly
But you don't want to hear me
[told you everything loud and clear]
But nobody's listening

i got a
Heart full of pain/head full of stress
Handful of anger/held in my chest
uphill struggle/blood sweat and tears
Nothing to gain/everything to fear

Try to give you warning
But everyone ignores me
[told you everything loud and clear]
But nobody's listening
Call to you so clearly
But you don't want to hear me
[told you everything loud and clear]
But nobody's listening

Apatie - Totální nasazení

Přišla na mě apatie
přemýšlím proč člověk vlastně žije
stojím si u výrobní linky
a svět shazuje starý šminky

Apatie apatie
pro co člověk vlastně žije

Probouzívám se každý ráno doma
snad je to už jen těžký komat
sousedku zdravím vždycky první
ale vlastní myšlenky ode mě zdrhly

Na ulicích potkávám šedý stíny
kdysi to taky byli lidi
všichni kráčí vpřed jedním směrem
všichni se ženou za úspěchem

NOTE: If you can't understand the lyrics because you don't speak Czech, blame the Germans. :p

OK I will be solid:
Apathy-Totalní nasazení

Apathy comes to me,
I am thinking why human live?
I stand near production line,
And World is throwing old makeups away.

Apathy comes to me,
I am thinking why human live?

I am waking up every morning in home,
perhaps its only hard comatose,
I am greeting neigbour always first
But my thinkings back down from me.

On the streets I am meeting gray shadows,
At one time people were it.
All of them are marching some direction,
All of them racing for prosperity.
 
Transatlantic--All of the Above

I. FULL MOON RISING
In a state of fallen grace, with a smile upon its face it came,
full moon rising today
Like a child but fully grown, like a star but not so far away,
it came here to take me away
This has never been before, where the sun burns bright as day
Light the sky--hold back no more, let the full moon rise today,
full moon rising today

So there I was with my complaints, in the comfort of my restraints I stayed,
I stayed and had nothing to say.
But there it was returning 'fore my eyes, like a fire that's burning up the skies,
full moon rising today
This has never been before, where the sun burns bright as day
Light the sky--hold back no more, let the full moon rise today,
full moon rising today

II. OCTOBER WINDS
There's a town I used to know, there's a town I used to go to play,
laughing all the way.
Never thought of where I'd been, autumn wind came creepin' in one day
Now summer's gone away, summer's gone away
Full moon risin' up all the way, full moon risin' today
When October winds lay down, when the heat can't melt the ground
& nothing matters anyway
When October winds take hold, when you're down that dank dark road,
maybe nothing matters anyway.

III. CAMOUFLAGED IN BLUE
Dead on your feet you walk like no one's home,
out on the street you make your way alone
Soldier of fortune, camouflaged in blue
Dawn turns to dusk, you sail away in doubt--
Love turns to lust, you've turned it inside out
Soldier of fortune camouflaged in blue (but I know you)
All that you are is not the things that you do, you know it's true
All that you are is camouflaged in blue, you know it's true

Dead on your feet you walk like no one's home,
out on the street you make your way alone
Soldier of fortune, camouflaged in blue (but I know you now)
All that you are is not the things that you do, you know it's true
All that you are is camouflaged in blue, you know it's true

IV. HALF ALIVE
Don't just sit there wasting your time on the phone,
don't be with that skank 'cause it hurts to be alone
& you swarm around like bees to the hive
& you look a man in full, but you're half alive
One flew south, one flew east, one went to the west
You became the enemy just to be the best, waiting for your dream to arrive
you're whole & you're complete but you're half alive,
waiting for your dream to arrive
you're whole & you're complete but you're half alive

V. UNDYING LOVE
Pressed to the wall of the rail station hall is the Venus de Milo
You walk through the park 'til the clouds seem to darken the sky
& you wish you could soften your mind,
but you feel like they've locked you in time
& you think you'll be perfectly fine once you get to the water
Suddenly you walk 'cause you're feet just won't walk,
like there's someone awaiting
The moon seems alive & looks down on your life just to say it's alright.
Innocence & undying love will reign, innocence & undying love will reign

Hearing the call with your back to the wall in a wordless conundrum
Half of your life 'tween a rose & a knife, ain't it time? You're sure to find
Innocence & undying love will reign, innocence & undying love will reign
The world will soon be right again
Innocence & undying love will reign & nothing will at all be the same
innocence & undying love will reign

VI. FULL MOON RISING (REPRISE)
In a state of fallen grace, with a smile upon its face it came,
full moon rising today
While the clock is turning fast, soak it up before it's passed away,
let it become what it may

This has never been before, where the sun burns bright as day
Light the sky--hold back no more, let the full moon rise today,
full moon rising today
Full moon rising today, full moon rising today.
 
More craaaazzzzzeeee lyrics. :banana:

The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatric

Is Dexter ill today, Mr Kirk, Dexter's in school,
I'm afraid he's not, Miss Fishborne,
Dexter's truancy problem is way out of hand,
The Baltimore County school board have decided to expel
Dexter from the entire public school system,
Oh Mr Kirk, I'm as upset as you to learn of Dexter's truancy,
But surely, expulsion is not the answer!
I'm afraid expulsion is the only answer,
It's the opinion of the entire staff that Dexter is criminally insane

[Chorus]
That boy needs therapy, pyschosomatic,
That boy needs therapy, purely pyschosomatic,
That boy needs therapy,
Lying down on the couch, what does that mean?
You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? That boy needs therapy,
I'm gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy,
Ranagazoo, let's have a tune,
Now when I count three,
That... that... that.. boy.. boy needs therapy,
He was white as a sheet, and he also made false teeth

Avalanches above, business continues below,
Did I ever tell you the story about,
Cowboys! M... M.. M.. Midgets and indians and... Fron.. Frontier Psychiatrist,
I... I felt strangely hypnotised,
I was in another world, a world of 20,000 girls,
And milk! Rectangles, to an optometrist, the man with the golden eyeball,
And tighten your buttocks, pour juice on your chin,
I promised my girlfriend... a violin

Frontier Psychiatrist... Frontier....

[Chorus]

Can you think of anything else that talks, other than a person?
Uh ohh... uh oh, a bird! Yeah!
Somtimes a parrot talks,
Ha ha ha... Yes, some birds are funny when they talk,
Can you think of anything else?... a record!
 
I was listening to this on the way into work today:

Steely Dan

Deacon Blues

This is the day
Of the expanding man
That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand
It seems like only yesterday
I gazed through the glass
At ramblers
Wild gamblers
That's all in the past

You call me a fool
You say it's a crazy scheme
This one's for real
I already bought the dream
So useless to ask me why
Throw a kiss and say goodbye
I'll make it this time
I'm ready to cross that fine line

CHORUS:
I'll learn to work the saxophone
I'll play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whisky all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues

My back to the wall
A victim of laughing chance
This is for me
The essence of true romance
Sharing the things we know and love
With those of my kind
Libations
Sensations
That stagger the mind

I crawl like a viper
Through these suburban streets
Make love to these women
Languid and bittersweet
I'll rise when the sun goes down
Cover every game in town
A world of my own
I'll make it my home sweet home

CHORUS

This is the night
Of the expanding the man
I take one last drag
As I approach the stand
I cried when I wrote this song
Sue me if I play too long
This brother is free
I'll be what I want to be
 
DEATH - Living Monstrosity

Every day blows by in a world of corrupt addiction
With life comes pain withdrawals and deformation
Breaking the mould human appearance
Contorting bodies with chamical interference

The guilty one, innocent she now cries
A life of hell, better off to die
Born without eyes, hands, and a half a brain
Being born addicted to cocaine

Living monstrosity
A freak for life they'll always be
Never knowing love or hate
Only pain the drug creates

Some say she's naive, she's a stupid b!tch
Some say to forgive, guilty she should die

The beginning of the end begins at birth
Breeding masses of twisted screaming flesh
An example we should make out of theses creators of misfortune
A serious crime that should not be forgiven

The guilty one, innocent she now cries
A life of hell, better off to die
Born without eyes, hands, and a half a brain
Being born addicted to cocaine
 
Maybe just a couple more Hendrix songs.

The lyrics are pretty good to this song, but the guitar playing is unbelievable!

Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun

[speaking]Happy New Year first of all. I hope we'll have about a million or two million more of them... If we can get over this summer, he he he. Right, I'd
Like to dedicate this one to the draggin' scene that's goin' on all the soldiers that are fighting in Chicago, Milwaukee and New York... Oh yeah, and all the soldiers fighting in Vietnam. like to do a thing called "Machine gun."[/speaking]

Machine gun
Tearing my body all apart

Machine gun
Tearing my body all apart

Evil man make me kill ya
Evil man make you kill me
Evil man make me kill you
Even though we're only families apart

Well I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber
(you know what I mean)
Hey and your bullets keep knocking me down

Hey I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber now
Yeah but you still blast me down to the ground

The same way you shoot me down baby
You'll be going just the same
Three times the pain
And your own self to blame
Hey machine gun

Oooooooooo

I ain't afraid of your mess no more, babe
I ain't afraid no more
After a while your your cheap talk don't even cause me pain
So let your bullets fly like rain

'cause I know all the time you're wrong baby
And you'll be goin' just the same
Yeah machine gun
Tearing my family apart
Yeah yeah alright
Tearing my family apart

Don't you shoot him down
He's about to leave here
Don't you shoot him down
He's got to stay here
He ain't going nowhere
He's been shot down to the ground
Oh where he can't survive no no

Yeah that's what we don't wanna hear any more, alright
No bullets
At least here, huh huh
No guns, no bombs
Huh huh
No nothin', just let's all live and live
You know instead of killin'
 
Some John Lennon:

Instant Karma

Instant Karma's gonna get you,
Gonna knock you right on the head,
You better get yourself together,
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead,
What in the world you thinking of,
Laughing in the face of love,
What on earth you tryin' to do,
It's up to you, yeah you.

Instant Karma's gonna get you,
Gonna look you right in the face,
Better get yourself together darlin',
Join the human race,
How in the world you gonna see,
Laughin' at fools like me,
Who on earth d'you think you are,
A super star,
Well, right you are.

Well we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun,
Well we all shine on,
Ev'ryone come on.

Instant Karma's gonna get you,
Gonna knock you off your feet,
Better recognize your brothers,
Ev'ryone you meet,
Why in the world are we here,
Surely not to live in pain and fear,
Why on earth are you there,
When you're ev'rywhere,
Come and get your share.

Well we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun,
Yeah we all shine on,
Come on and on and on on on,
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah-.

Well we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun,
Yeah we all shine on,
On and on and on on and on.

Well we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun.
Well we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun.
Well we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun.
Yeah we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun.
 
Money - Pink Floyd

Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're okay
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash

New car
Caviar
Four-star day dream
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money, get back
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody-good bulls**t

I'm in the high fidelity first-class traveling set
And I think I need a Leer jet

Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a raise
It's no surprise they're giving none away
 
Here's some more Pink Floyd. My favorite song from the Animals CD.

Pink Floyd - Dogs

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes
closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.
And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you
get older
And in the end you'll pack up, fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer.
And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest that you've
sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw
around
So have a good drown, as you go down, alone
Dragged down by the stone.
I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of
this maze?
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the
winner
And everythings done under the sun
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.
Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone.
 
Fate's Warning--The Ivory Gate of Dreams
I. INNOCENCE
(instrumental)

II. COLD DAZE
The coldness of confusion hangs into the morning air
as brazen bells ring reality to announce the conqueror dawn
Removed from night's fleeting trance, plunged headlong into cold days
Where in a circle we wander the barren wastes of our pasts

III. DAYLIGHT DREAMERS
Daylight dreamers awaken on deserts of desperation
Lonely lives learn to live on islands of isolation
Surrounded by violent oceans of hate and hopeless sorrows
Daylight dreamers envision tranquil seas in safe tomorrows

Dreaming through the darkened day along tempest-torn strands
Desperately grasping the grains of hope that flit through our hands
As they fall we tighten our hold while the waves claim the final few
Taken without ceremony, they drift out of view
Washed away with the tides of time, slipped through our fingers as dreams do

IV. QUIETUS
From sleeping visions daily were torn, in waking hours hopes are forlorn
Is all we do and all we dream doomed to drown in a hopeless stream?
Wishing life were made of lasting visions in eternal sleep
and if that rest were filled with sorrow, still we'd sleep

In the madness of a silent eternity we'd find solace
in false visions that protect us from reality
Enter ivory gates through midnight skies daylight dreamers in private parades
perform before perpetual dawn as dusk engulfs the gate of horn
Ivory towers appear beyond the gate, invisible fortresses of escape
Traversed by ramparts made of hopes and fears impervious to reality

V. IVORY TOWER
Behind sullen doors untouched within,
safe from summer storms and winter winds
Relentless tempests can weaken walls; towers falter when reality calls
Untouchable by all without, lost in the silken web youth may weave
Tangled threads seem a stranglehold, but illusions can deceive
A cold daze plagues the air, driven by aging winds
The walls give way to the rush and let reality in

VI. WHISPERS ON THE WIND
Misty morning on a windswept plain, embers of a fortress--all that remain
The seeds of life that burned within have flown like whispers on the wind
From the sleepers' world I look toward darkening skies
Through the violent haze of summer storms the sun leaves tired eyes

VII. ACQUIESCENCE
Betrayed by innocence, deceived by delusions,
plagiarized promises pale into empty hopes
Ivory towers bow down in reverence to daylight,
as dreamers awaken in sleepers' somber shade
Ocean waves shift, leaving only memories;
final traces of hope are swallowed in the deep
Despair sends a certain calm, a vague sense of relief
released from all our longings, silently we'll sleep

Hope leads to quiet desperation when reality obscures the dream;
makes the mind a grave of memories that wander like the lonely breeze
whose whispers echo through ruins rust,
of towers torn and dreams turned to dust

VIII. RETROSPECT
(instrumental)

Beasley Street - John Cooper Clarke - 80's UK Punk Poet

Far from crazy pavements -
the taste of silver spoons
A clinical arrangement
on a dirty afternoon
Where the fecal germs of Mr Freud
are rendered obsolete
The legal term is null and void
In the case of Beasley Street

In the cheap seats where murder breeds
Somebody is out of breath
Sleep is a luxury they don't need
- a sneak preview of death
Belladonna is your flower
Manslaughter your meat
Spend a year in a couple of hours
On the edge of Beasley Street


Where the action isn't
That's where it is
State your position
Vacancies exist
In an X-certificate exercise
Ex-servicemen excrete
Keith Joseph smiles and a baby dies
In a box on Beasley Street

From the boarding houses and the bedsits
Full of accidents and fleas
Somebody gets it
Where the missing persons freeze
Wearing dead men's overcoats
You can't see their feet
A riff joint shuts - opens up
Right down on Beasley Street

Cars collide, colours clash
disaster movie stuff
For a man with a Fu Manchu moustache
Revenge is not enough
There's a dead canary on a swivel seat
There's a rainbow in the road
Meanwhile on Beasley Street
Silence is the code

Hot beneath the collar
an inspector calls
Where the perishing stink of squalor
impregnates the walls
the rats have all got rickets
they spit through broken teeth
The name of the game is not cricket
Caught out on Beasley Street

The hipster and his hired hat
Drive a borrowed car
Yellow socks and a pink cravat
Nothing La-di-dah
OAP, mother to be
Watch the three-piece suite
When ****-stoppered drains
and crocodile skis
are seen on Beasley Street

The kingdom of the blind
a one-eyed man is king
Beauty problems are redefined
the doorbells do not ring
A lightbulb bursts like a blister
the only form of heat
here a fellow sells his sister
down the river on Beasley Street

The boys are on the wagon
The girls are on the shelf
Their common problem is
that they're not someone else
The dirt blows out
The dust blows in
You can't keep it neat
It's a fully furnished dustbin,
Sixteen Beasley Street

Vince the ageing savage
Betrays no kind of life
but the smell of yesterday's cabbage
and the ghost of last year's wife
through a constant haze
of deodorant sprays
he says retreat
Alsations dog the dirty days
down the middle of Beasley Street

People turn to poison
Quick as lager turns to piss
Sweethearts are physically sick
every time they kiss.
It's a sociologist's paradise
each day repeats
On easy, cheesy, greasy, queasy
beastly Beasley Street

Eyes dead as vicious fish
Look around for laughs
If I could have just one wish
I would be a photograph
on a permanent Monday morning
Get lost or fall asleep
When the yellow cats are yawning
Around the back of Beasley Street
 
Skrewdriver - Case of Pride

You're wondering how you'll make it through the day
Pack your bag and then you'll get up on your way
Chorus:
Once you had the money baby, and you didn't have to steal
You're a case of pride and I know just how you feel

You can't go home 'cause they'll see that you have failed
Can't afford much food and you're looking pale

Once you had the money baby, and you didn't have to steal
You're a case of pride and I know just how you feel

Once you had so many true ambitions in your head
Now you sleep in a railway arch but you can't afford no bed

Once they told you about the things that they'd achieved
Made you feel so useless that you had to leave

Once you had the money baby, and you didn't have to steal
You're a case of pride and I know just how you feel

Once you had the money baby, and you didn't have to steal
You're a case of pride and I know just how you feel

Once you had the money baby, and you didn't have to steal
You're a case of pride and I know just how you feel

Skrewdriver - Soldier Of Freedom

I don't fight for the money, don't fight for blood
I'm fighting for freedom, I know where I'm stood
I fight for the nations, that haven't yet died
I fight to stop Russia, creating a world of sighs
Chorus:
I'm a soldier of freedom
I'm a soldier of freedom
A soldier of freedom fights Reds

I fought in the Congo, stood against the Reds
I fought in Angola, but the Red disease, it spread
I fought in Rhodesia, against the media's pets,
Now I see democracy suspended by it's neck

I'm a soldier of freedom
I'm a soldier of freedom
A soldier of freedom fights Reds

I fought in Afghanistan, but the tentacles spread
I'm suprised at the speed with which the people forget
We're sending Russia food now, feeding Russia grain
I hope it ain't your land, when Russia invades again, and they will

I'm a soldier of freedom
I'm a soldier of freedom
A soldier of freedom fights Reds

I'm a soldier of freedom
I'm a soldier of freedom
A soldier of freedom fights Reds

Tomorrow Belongs to Me

The sun on the meadow is summery warm
The stag in the forest runs free
But gathered together to greet the storm
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me
The branch on the linden is leafy and green
The Rhine gives it's gold to the sea
But somewhere a glory awaits unseen
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me
The babe in his cradle is closing his eyes
The blossom embraces the bee
But soon says a whisper, arise, arise
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me
Now Fatherland, Fatherland, show us the sign
Your children have waited to see
The morning will come when the world is mine
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs
Tomorrow belongs
Tomorrow belongs to me!

Warlord - Skrewdriver

Spoken intro:
Once upon a time, long ago, or maybe not so, in a land that progress had
attempted to destroy. Where many people had lost hope, and the enemy reigned
with cruelty and evil. This land where once the people were proud and free, now
they cowered in fear and servility. From this desert of destruction and despair,
once more to the fore in his nation’s hour of need… to the enemy’s terror, and
his people’s elation, came the Warlord…

No one’s ever gonna take away his land
Not whilst he has the power in his hands
He appears when his nation is in danger
To all our enemies he’s the slayer

Warlord, I’ll tell you of his story
Warlord, riding into glory
Warlord, the power’s in his hands
Warlord, saviour of this land

Fear no evil, whilst he is at hand
He’s been the guardian since time began
Protector of the people and the pride
With him at our head now we shall ride to victory

Warlord, I’ll tell you of his story
Warlord, riding into glory
Warlord, the power’s in his hands
Warlord, saviour of this land


(instrumental break)

Warlord, I’ll tell you of his story
Warlord, riding into glory
Warlord, the power’s in his hands
Warlord, saviour of this land


No one messes with the people when
he’s around
Heed this warning enemies and get out now
All those traitors out there he knows who you are
Battlecries are sounding warriors near and far, near and far

Warlord, I’ll tell you of his story
Warlord, riding into glory
Warlord, the power’s in his hands
Warlord, saviour of this land


Warlord!
Warlord!
Warlord!
Warlord!
Warlord!

Excalibur - Skrewdriver

It derived from the time of legends
Came Merlin to put claim upon the King
Took him far away from Tintagel
And gave to him the knowledge of many things

(chorus)
Excalibur, it came to Arthur - Excalibur!
The sword that came from the lady of the lake - Excalibur!
And one day as the nation cries in agony - Excalibur!
The king will rise again for our people’s sake

As Uther died with Arthur’s reign beginning
The nation’s dreams became reality
The hopes the people had in the Round Table, at Camelot
The power of the sword slayed enemies

Excalibur, it came to Arthur - Excalibur!
The sword that came from the lady of the lake - Excalibur!
And one day as the nation cries in agony - Excalibur!
The king will rise again for our people’s sake

(instrumental break)

Excalibur, it came to Arthur - Excalibur!
The sword that came from the lady of the lake - Excalibur!
And one day as the nation cries in agony - Excalibur!
The king will rise again for our people’s sake

Protector of the future, Merlin
took the infant king
And no one saw him ’til he claimed his crown
And since his death his spirit lays in Avalon, in Avalon
Waiting ’til his rebirth comes around

Excalibur, it came to Arthur - Excalibur!
The sword that came from the lady of the lake - Excalibur!
And one day as the nation cries in agony - Excalibur!
The king will rise again for our people’s sake

Excalibur, it came to Arthur - Excalibur!
The sword that came from the lady of the lake - Excalibur!
And one day as the nation cries in agony - Excalibur!
The king will rise again for our people’s sake
 
Artillery- Khomaniak

He once appeared
A harmless threat
A leader wrapped in linen.
United fools, bewitched by words,
In pact with ignorance.

A powermind, dictating thoughts,
that leads toward his dream
To free the world, fanatically
Religious slavery.

Khomaniak - your holy war is a tragedy
Fataliac - won't your God let you see

And lead by this, insane old man
From shah to battlefield
No one's too young, to fight and die
For what this man believes

Someone must die, insanity's alive
Spreads with disease, the virus increase

A voice in my ear says - "Khomaniac"
Your killing is pointless - "Fataliac"
The war is eternal - "Khomaniac"
The outcome infernal

That voice in my ear says - "Khomaniac"
Your killing is pointless - "Fataliac"
The war is eternal - "Khomaniac"
The outcome infernal - So die
 
I Fought The Law
Sonny Curtis

A' breaking rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
Well she's the best girl that I've ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

A' robbing people with a six gun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby and the good fun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
Well she's the best girl that I've ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
 
Rhymes And Reasons - John Denver

So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter,
The fear that is within you now that seems to never end,
and the dreams that have escaped you and the hope that you've forgotten,
and you tell me that you need me now and you want to be my friend,
and you wonder where we're going, where's the rhyme and where's the reason?
And it's you cannot accept: it is here we must begin to seek the wisdom of the children
and the graceful way of flowers in the wind.
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers,
their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day.
Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow,
they're a promise of the future and a blessing for today.

Though the cities start to crumble and the towers fall around us,
the sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea.
It is written: From the desert to the mountains they shall lead us,
by the hand and by the heart, they will comfort you and me.
In their innocence and trusting they will teach us to be free.
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers,
their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day.
And the song that I am singing is a prayer to non-believers,
come and stand beside us we can find a better way.
