Twilight Zone (Harris/Murray)

She lays in bed at night and that is when I make my call
But when she stares at me she can’t see nothing at all
Because you see I can’t take no shape or form
It’s been three long years since I’ve been gone

I can’t get used to purgatory you know it really makes me cry
I’ll never know the reason why I had to go
Oh oh I’m crying
Oh oh oh deep inside of me
Oh oh oh can’t you see me
Ah can’t you see me

I’m looking forward to her spirit coming over me
I feel tempted to bring her over to see just what it’s
Like to be hanging on the other side
I feel so lonely it’s a long time since I died

I try to show her that she’s never gonna be alone
Because my spirit is imprisoned in the twilight zone
Oh oh I’m crying
Oh oh oh deep inside of me
Oh oh oh can’t you see me
Ah can’t you see me

Cross-Eyed Mary (Ian Anderson)

Who would be a poor man
A beggerman a thief
If he had a rich man in his hand
Who would steal the candy
From a laughing baby's mouth
If he could take it from the money man
Cross-eyed Mary
Goes jumping in again.
She signs no contract
But she always plays the game
Dines in Hampstead village
On expense accounted gruel
And the jack knife barber
Drops her off at school
Laughing in the playground
Gets no kicks from little boys
Would rather make it with a letching gray
Or maybe her attention
Is drawn by Aqualung
Who watches through the railings as they play
Cross-eyed Mary
Finds it hard to get along
She's a poor man's rich girl
And she'll do it for a song
She's a rich man's stealer
But her favour's good and strong
She's the Robin Hood of Highgate
Helps the poor man get along

Massacre (Lynott/Gorham/Downey)

[2.54]

At a point below zero
There's no place left to go
Six hundred unknown heroes
Were killed like sleeping buffalo

Through the devil's canyon
Across the battlefield
Death has no companion
The spirit is forced to yield

There goes the bandolero
Through the hole in the wall
He's a coward but doesn't care though
In fact he doesn't care at all

The general that's landing
He's defending what he fears
While the troops they are depending
On reinforcements from the rear

If God is in the heavens
How can this happen here
In His name they used the weapons
For the massacre

There is a point below zero
Where the sun can see the land
Six hundred unknown heroes
Lay dead in the sand

Kill Me Ce Soir (Golden Earring )

Remember that song called kill me
From Victim's last LP
Too much for a risc for a golden disc
The price he paid for money

Ce soir ce soir
Assassination d'un Rock & Roll star
Ce soir ce soir
Assassination d'un Rock & Roll star

Sing your song you can't go wrong
Tempted his business advisor
No need for alarm you'll come to no harm
He didn't mention the sniper

Ce soir ce soir
Assassination d'un Rock & Roll star
Ce soir ce soir
Assassination d'un Rock & Roll star

The news is read the need is fed
One yawn ah two yawn ah
And back to bed
Turn off the light and hold me tight
C'mon maman bend down your head
And just sing on immortal song
Fini belle vie bonne nuit

Remember that song called kill me
A lecture on political chicanary
Of peoples rape recorded on tape
Brought shame to the presidency

Tonight tonight
One more point for human rights
Tonight tonight
One more point for human rights

Remember that song kill me
Once used by a man from Gallilea
He had nothing to lose he was King of the Jews
Secured his place in history

Ce soir ce soir
Assassination d'un provocateur

The news is read the poison's spread
One yawn ah two yawn ah
And back to bed
Turn off the light and hold me tight
C'mon maman bend down your head
And just sing on immortal song
Fini belle vie

Vick played his part with all his heart
He wasn't prepared for the shock
When howling lead bit into his head
A new martyr for the book of rock
A new martyr for the book of rock
The book of rock
A new martyr for the book of rock

Comunication Breakdown (Led Zeppelin)

Hey girl stop what you're doin'
Hey girl you'll drive me to ruin
I don't know what it is that I like about you
But I like it a lot
Won't let me hold you
Let me feel your lovin' charms

CHORUS:
Communication Breakdown
It's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane

Hey girl I got something I think you ought to know
Hey babe I wanna tell you that I love you so
I wanna hold you in my arms yeah
I'm never gonna let you go
'Cause I like your charms

CHORUS

I want you to love me all night...

CHORUS

I want you to love me all night
I want you to love me
I want you to love...yeah I want you to love

Space Station No. 5 (Montrose)

Start with the sun
And move on out
The future's in the skies above
The heavens unfold
And a new star is born
Space and time makin' love

CHORUS:
Oh what a time we had
Living on the ground
I've moved to station #5
See you next time around next time around

As far you want as close as you need
It's all in the mind you know
This old world hasn't really seen it's day
It's here time to go

CHORUS

Remember when it was so clear
We were young but the memory still remains
To pick fruit from a tree fish from the seas
Now nothing's left here but the stains
Well I can't cry no more can only be glad
There's other places we can be
If the time suits you right I'm leaving tonight
Come fly away with me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah oh yeah

Start with the sun
And move on out
The future's in the skies above
The heavens unfold
A new star is born
Space and time makin' love

CHORUS

The Sheriff of Huddersfield (Harris/Dickinson/Smith/Murray/McBrain)

We're on a mission from Rod...
Life in the city living in L.A.
Is a long way from Huddersfield town
The back of the Rainbow's a long way from heaven
But that's where he get his pork pie
Limos and ladies they're driving him crazy
Rugby and cricket's unknown
Baseball and football they're making him lazy
Your fan club says "Rodney come'ome"

The Sheriff of Huddersfield
Locked in his castle
Looked down on the Hollywood Hills
The Sheriff of Huddersfield
Locked in his castle
You're our own Hot Rod on wheels

A good game of arrows a few dozen barrels
The Nautilus rusts in the yard
For Yorkshire he's yearning but because he's earning
He'll always live in L.A.
A custom made wallet that stays in his pocket
And never comes out to pay bills
He's winning at poker and playing the Joker
And always cheats when he deals

Hello let me introduce myself
My name's Rodney
I'm immensely strong
When I were a lad
I could lift up five navies on the end of a shovel
The reason I never took up martial arts
Is because I was fearsome and probably
Kill everybody that I came into contact with
I was phenomenally strong

Pride and ego
My lads
Pride and ego
Is what makes the world rotate
And everybody knows that
The centre of the Universe is Huddersfield
That's why I don't live there anymore
I live in Los Angeles
It's great... I think

Rufus the red has a crane by his bed
To wrench himself up in the morn'
But if you dare to tread at the foot of his bed
You'll wish you'd never been born
A bear with a sore head we don't mean your forehead
He slumbers for most of the day
Wide eyed and legless baked beans for breakfast
Your problem Rodney is L.A.

The sin shines all night

Justice Of The Peace (Murray/Harris)

[3.33]

Have you heard on the news
Another let off madman
Another screw on the loose
Is it the judge or the badman

What's the matter these days
No one has the courage to put them away
Nobody has any faith
'Cause there's a breakdown of justice and order

CHORUS:
Waiting for justice waiting for justice of the peace
Waiting for justice waiting for justice of the peace

When I remember back the memories of yesteryear (yesterday)
With all the friends and all the times
When people were carefree
And walking down the street
When everyone knew everyone
And all the houses doors were open
No had to care those days are gone
Those days are gone

CHORUS

I long for the times when you could
Wander down the street unharmed
When people didn't have much money
But didn't seem to care
It must be the cynic in me
But I don't really like things now
The violence the attitudes
Aggression that you see everyday
A sick society looks the other way

I Live My Way (Harris/Bayley/Gers)

Sometimes when I feel the anger
Sometimes when I'm all alone
Sometimes when I feel surrounded
Like all the doors are closed
I feel like I've been a prisoner
I feel like I've been a tool
Let people try to judge me
When they're not in my shoes

CHORUS:
I've lived on my knees
Trying to please
It's time to change

Some people are only happy
When they can watch you fail
And to them every day is
Another coffin nail
I think that I've found the answer
I think that at last I know
We've only got one lifetime
I'll make my life my own

CHORUS

To live my own way

I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say

Judgement Day (Bayley/Gers)

[4.06]

There are no marks upon a man
That can say he's good or bad
No label and no tell tale sign
That can show he's full of lies

CHORUS:
By your deeds you will be known
Time will tell truth will show
As we exhale every breath
We all got closer to our death
What will you say
What will you say
On judgement day
On judgement day

When you look into their eyes
You don't know what they hide
No label and no tell tale sign
That can show he's full of lies

CHORUS

Ignorance is bliss is that the reason
We can not read another's mind
If we knew what thoughts were dancing
Through each others heads
Would we all be driven mad
Would we all be dead

CHORUS
