Wasted Love 02:32
lyrics

Wasted Love You don’t smile any more Makin’ love is a chore You go into the bathroom and you lock the door Don’t give me your love Don’t give me your wasted love I find his clothes in the closet His rubbers on the floor Then I find him under the bed Which proves you’re rotten to the core Don’t give me your love…. Don’t bother to lie I know what’s true A guy on the sly or maybe two But where are they now? I wish I knew I’m gonna go mad before we’re through You’ve had so many chances But now it’s out the door I won’t waste my love on you any more Don’t give me your love…. Well she’s back beside me now ‘Cause once again I’ve slipped I really cannot fight it I know when I’m whipped Oh, give me your love Just give me your wasted love

Peek at You 02:47
lyrics

Peek at You You’re not inclined to be seen with me I see no sign that you’ll ever be Take a little peek That’s all I want to do Take a little peek Peek a peek peek Peek at you I don’t know much of love and such Just your sight if not your touch Take a little peek…. I can’t explain why I act this way When I’m near you I must go insane Take a little peek…. I’m trying to see up to your balcony I lose my step and fall out of the tree Take a little peek….

Good Girl 03:06
lyrics

Good Girl She won’t be conquered, she won’t be beaten It’s a game with her and she won’t be defeated She’s a good girl, unhappy girl I wonder whatever happened to her She’d take her time and then she’d change her mind I say I can’t go on and she’d end up crying She’s a good girl, unhappy girl I wonder whatever happened to her She’s a good girl with a mind of her own Never stopping to think she might end up alone So she’ll smile and say I’m so happy today But you never know when she’ll turn to stone She threw me out She’ll do me in All she wants is her innocence She’s a good girl, unhappy girl I wonder whatever happened to her

Friends in Hell 03:08
lyrics
buy track
Friends in Hell Lawyers, bums and dirty politicians Filling my head with their septic opinions Don’t say anymore, I couldn’t care less There’s no easy way to get out of this mess I’ve seen a lot of life and I’ve lived it well I’ve got a lot of friends in hell It wouldn’t take a gypsy or a cop to foretell I’m gonna wind up in hell But everybody’s friends in hell I can’t go back and change what I’ve done You can’t return a love letter shot from a gun In the end a man deserves what he gets So lay it on me, Lucifer, I’ve got no regrets I’ve seen a lot of life…. In hell I fell In hell I dwell In hell a hot spell In hell mach schnell! Everything you do and everything you say It all adds up on Judgement Day I’ve lost my soul, it’ll never be found My only way to go is down down down I’ve seen a lot of death and I’ve lived to tell I’ve got a lot of friends in hell It wouldn’t take a gypsy or a cop to foretell I’m gonna wind up in hell But everybody’s friends in hell

Possessed 03:09
lyrics
buy track
Possessed You’re on my mind All of the time You’re in my sleep I get no relief I am possessed by you I will never possess you I am obsessed by you I will never possess you You’re like a ghost And I’m your host I can’t resist I need an exorcist I am possessed by you…. Possession is nine-tenths of the law Nine-tenths of the law Ninety percent of the law You drive me to drink I can’t even think of anyone else Not even myself I am possessed by you….

Starfawn 02:25
lyrics
buy track
Starfawn Starfawn What paths do you travel? What stars do you visit? What mysteries unravel? You float through the universe ever alone Waiting for a lover to take you home Starchild You’re young and you’re pretty For a taste of your love-charms I’ll build you a city If you see me as you’re floating along Blow me a kiss and sing me your song Starfawn My wraith-like illusion Celestial sparkle In cosmic confusion I’ll follow the light, I’ll follow the dawn For just a glimpse of the fleeting Starfawn

Bump and Grind 02:54
lyrics
buy track
Bump and Grind I know what I gotta do and how to do it I can’t take the mundane life I’m sick of this shit If you could change it all, your own destiny Would you be willing to make a killing for me? If you do the bump, I’ll do the grind If you do the bump, oh baby, I’ll do the grind I see it all now, living high off the hog C-notes, Dom Perignon, pate for the dog We’ll do it at midnight when no one can see Chop chop for you and hamburg for me If you do the bump…. Murder in the first degree We need no reminder One corpus delecti for the butcher shop grinder If you do the bump…. Killing is easy, just like 1-2-3 Anyone can do it, just ask the Police A toast to good fortune, to partners in crime Valpolicella with some sweet cyanide If you do the bump….

A Fadeaway 03:37
lyrics
buy track
A Fadeaway She’s leaving home She’s got business to do She’s leaving her child Though he’s only two He’s a fadeaway Oh, a fadeaway The front she put up The illusion she built Comes crumbling down Shattered by guilt She’s a fadeaway Oh, a fadeaway The closer you get The less you can see Did it really happen? It’s just a half-memory It’s a fadeaway Oh, a fadeaway New technologies Beyond cyberspace But walk ‘round your block And see our culture decay It’s a fadeaway Oh, a fadeaway

We Play Rock and Roll (roughie) 02:10
lyrics
buy track
I used to go to college I used to be pre-med Doctors and professors Never heard a word they said I’d cheat on my exams I’d plagiarize reports I had to study grammar But I never knew what for We play rock and roll We play rock and roll We play rock and roll Cause we can’t do anything else No, we can’t do anything else Go to work at the skanky bank I’m head embezzler People give me money all day I stick it in my shirt But they make you get up so early And that’s why I get tired Get high and fall asleep at lunch By two o’clock I’m fired Yeah, by two o’clock I’m fired We play rock and roll We play rock and roll We play rock and roll Cause we can’t do anything else No, we can’t do anything else We really like achievements We’d like to do our part We could accomplish something If we knew where to start It’s true, so true I don’t want to work Don’t want to get a job Don’t wanna do anything But be a lazy slob Cause I think I’m entitled To everything I want The world owes me a living When will it pay up Yeah, when will it pay up?
