SEVEN SEAS
SUNSET OVER WASTELAND (1995)

Can You Imagine When The Wind Is In Your Sails
And You Glide Over The Waves
And Suddenly A Pale Blue Sky Turns To Grey
And Your Luck It Seems To Fade

The Moment You Remember How The Times Of Doubt And Pain
Used To Drive You Up The Wall
You Look Into The Mirror And You Swear Not That Again
This Time Around You’ll Kill ‘Em All!

Chorus: Owowow

And You Reach Out Because You Need A Helping Hand
To Put You Right Back On The Track
It Sure Is Good To Know You Can Count On A Friend
And They Won’t Stab You In The Back

You Can Make It, You Can Take It,
You Just Fight For Your Believes
And They Can Try To Hold You Down But You Are Stronger
You Can Sail The Seven Seas

Chorus: Owowow

cookie
SUNSET OVER WASTELAND (1995)

She told me she was lucky
To find a guy like him
A man so sweet and gentle
And cute and everything

But she don’t know he’s lying
She hasn’t got a clue

She’s a cookie but she is blind

You’re making allegations
Is what she said to me
This guy’s really honest
Everything she dreamt he’d be

But now I caught her crying
Over mister harmony

She’s a cookie but she’s blind
So good looking but really blind

silly me
SUNSET OVER WASTELAND (1995)

Silly, silly, silly me,
So now the bitch is gone, I knew it all along,
One day I’d be free, silly, silly, silly me, thinking I’d be free,
Free from all the pain, no more ball and chain
Or waiting home alone, sleeping by the phone
Waiting for the call that explains it all
Such a sight to see…

Silly, silly, silly me (X3)

No more counting sheep or watching MTV
She’d be working late, thought she’d been delayed
She came home late at night
Sneaking up the stairs, she loosened up her hair
And I watched her undress…
And the she brushed her teeth and slipped her frozen feet
Quietly in bed and I pretend to sleep… I pretend to sleep

Silly, silly, silly me (X3)

You could say you’re right, it seems that I am left
You guessed it all along, it’s like the Presley song
She’s really gone, I begged her on my knees
Baby won’t you…please
Enough of being kind
I acted like a fool and broke the golden rule
I just made a scene, damn I’m really mean

Silly, silly, silly me (X5) Silly, silly, silly me (X2)
Silly, silly, silly!

SUNSET OVER WASTELAND (1995)

Lichtning Lights The Heavens
And Rain Falls From The Sky
It’s Raining On My Pillow
Because Of Broken Lives

The Wind Has Called For Mary
Can You Hear It Cry?
Nasty Stormy Weather
Somebody Must Die

A Suicidal Horseride
Kick It Or You’ll Die
The Clouds Have Come In Your Mind
And You Can’t See Eye To Eye

And You Fly

All That Have Departed
And All Those Silent Screams
They’re Coming Back To Haunt You
In Your Stolen Dreams

Once You Got It Started
There’s No Turning Back
Your Memories Like Movies
Fading Into Black

nothing on my radio
odds & outtakes(1993)

Been up all night trying so hard to kill the time
It seems the clock is running slow
I can’t deny the thought already crossed my mind
To write a final goodbye note

Try to watch the news without the sound, light a cigarette
So now there’s nothing going on in the world
And there’s nothing on my radio
So bye bye world
Nothing on my radio

I’m all alone, light my fuse I’m dynamite
Maybe I won’t maybe I will
And if I don’t I’ll remember how I tried
Feels like I’m paying without a bill

Sink another drink to forget, have another smoke
Thinking my life is a mess, what a joke

And there’s nothing on my radio
So bye bye world
Nothing on my radio

Up down all around
There’s voices in my head, I’m breaking down
I can’t take it any longer

Black, white, I can’t decide
I need someone around to hold me tight
I think the feeling’s getting stronger

Love, hate I can’t think straight
It may be better if I wait
I guess that I’m afraid to go

Life, death, what is best
If this is life I’m not impressed
Maybe I’ll have to take it slow

And there’s nothing on my radio
So bye bye world
Nothing on my radio
So bye bye world
Nothing on my radio

you don't need a woman
odds & outtakes(1993)

She buys him food and clothing
She does his laundry
She washes his shirts
And she gets nothing in return
He's out ther earning wages
Talking dirty all the time
When he comes home for supper
He wants a slave and not a wife
He does him wham-bang-special
And falls asleep right by her side

Let me tell you now
You don't need a woman, you need a slave
And it's no excuse for the way you behave
Well, you don't need a woman

She can't wear too much make-up
'Cause make-up thats for whores
He sees her when she wakes up
Isn't she a bore
The weekends are for football
Or for drinking with the boys
Her heart is doing time
In a prison with no walls

She’s Witty And Sexy

All you ever do
dog days Are Over(1993)

Honey, I’m leaving
I’m drawing the curtains on this act
I’m gonna leave it all behind
Tell me your secrets
‘Cause all my suitcases are packed
And outta sight is out of mind
Honey please, no matter what it will be
Won’t you sit and talk to me

‘Cause all you ever do is say you’re sorry babe
And everytime you say I shouldn’t worry babe
No matter what I try
You don’t wanna tell me the reason why
All you ever do is say you’re sorry babe

Why do you hide ‘em
These little secrets that you keep
I think I’m entitled to the truth
It’s pretty surprising
I heard you talking in your sleep
Girl, what are you trying to do
Honey please give it another shot
‘Cause you are everything I got

‘Cause all you ever do is say you’re sorry babe
And everytime you say I shouldn’t worry babe
No matter what I try
You don’t wanna tell me the reason why

Four Aces
Dog Days Are Over (1993)

There are times you look forward to what’s comin’
There are times to look back upon the past
From when you’re born till the day that you are dyin’
You always hope that the good times last

And you know you’re sailin’ the Titanic
Yeah you know in the end there’s the sea
No reason why you should start a panic
‘Cause you found out this is the place to be

Maybe I don’t let it show honey
Maybe you don’t even know
But if you would put two and two together
You’d know I got four aces in a row

One day you find your dog days are over
You realise a lot is left for you to do
And you try not to look over your shoulder
Ah but you will cause there’s chances that you blew

Repeat chorus

Maybe I don’t let it show honey

can't call me yours
inbetweenies (1993)

I’m tired of fighting when you rock the boat
Or compromising when you’re at my throat
I heard you say my friends are no good
You say I’m lying, I misunderstood

One more false remark and I’m outta here
Cause I can’t stand this anymore
And one more dirty look from your eyes my dear
And I’m headed for the door

You can play with my heart till it’s sore
You can tear it apart, that’s for sure
You can squeeze till it aches
And my poor heart will break
But you can’t call me yours anymore

Explanations, where have I been
Accusations I know are obscene
Your disguise is wearing thin
The game is over now, so please shed your skin

One more false remark and I’m outta here
Cause I can’t stand this anymore
And one more dirty look from your eyes my dear
And I’m headed for the door

You can play with my heart till it’s sore
You can tear it apart, that’s for sure
You can squeeze till it aches
And my poor heart will break
But you can’t call me yours anymore

Just a little teenage girl
Living in her teenage world
She had nothing on her mind
Mam and daddies pride and joy
The killers little private toy
Always laughing always kind

Watch it by the riverside
They took Jodie for a ride
Watch it by the river where Jodie died

Watch it by the riverside
Information classified
Watch it by the river where Jodie died

People saw a Chevrolet
Taking little Jodie away
She was found later on
It really broke her daddies heart
Their perfect world was torn apart
But their lives were going on

And people in the neighbourhood
Searched the mountains and the woods
And by nightfall Jodie’s body washed ashore

medicine man

He's making deals with the devil
He sits by his right hand
He maybe promising heaven
But he ain't that kind of man
He's always talking by good times
But never in a future tense
If you decide to take his hand
Don't expect him to be your friend

He's comin' and goin'
The promised land
Don't ask him to help you
'Cause he can't

The Medicine Man (x2)

If you turn left at the cross roads
If you're headed for a dead end street
Don't be lookin' for stop signs
Cause that's something you won't meet
Don't be misleas by the roses
That grow by the side of the road
'Cause if you go back again barefoot
There's thorns deep in your soles

I don’t remember when it started
She went straight into my head
I figured her for a starlet
Cause she was playing hard to get

Only seventeen, she was looking like a girl in a fashion magazine
How long has it been since she took my heart and drove me insane

Now hold on little girl we can make it
You’ve stolen my heart, don’t go brake it
Hold on little girl don’t deny it
Cause we both know that you’re only a child

Like a lovesong sounds better on a stolen guitar
We must both stick together now you’ve stolen my heart

And eversince I’m broken hearted
I feel I’m losing grip
I never took her love for granted
Until I ran into het lips

I’m riding on the next train
Leaving all my troubels behind
This loving causes so much pain
Too much for human kind

Now hold on little girl we can make it
You’ve stolen my heart, don’t go brake it
Hold on little girl don’t deny it
Cause we both know that you’re only a child

Like a lovesong sounds better on a stolen guitar
We must both stick together now you’ve stolen my heart
Stolen my heart

Don’t you know I tried to make it right with you
Well I should go after everything that we been through
I had the time of my life since that day that my luck took a dive
But if only the strong will survive
Won’t you stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me
If it’s time to let you go, let me know tomorrow
I don’t want to hear I told you so

Don’t you know we shouldn’t keep the score
Of all the dirty tricks we pulled before
Don’t you know I couldn’t anymore

Don’t you know I want you here to stay
Don’t you know it matters anyway, anyhow, don’t you know

I could’ve known I was chasing rainbows all the time
Well maybe so, but I always had your heart in mind
You were the light of my life, since that day that my luck took a dive
And if only the strong will survive
Won’t you stay with me, stay with me, stay with me
If it’s time to let you go, let me know tomorrow

Crime Wave
Royalty in Exile(1990)

You’re heart and soul
You move your little body going to and fro’
You’re rock and roll
I even heard ‘em saying you were out on parole
You got the eyes baby, you got the thighs
The way you walk makes me lose control
It’s no surprise baby, cause you’re so nice
Lighten up my life before I grow old

There’s a crime wave baby
And you ain’t no lady
There’s a crime wave baby
Cause of you

You’re so bad that it makes me mad
Evil’s in your eyes and even in your head
There’s a gun in my pants and you make me draw
The way you move your hips must be against the law
Ooh what a backside, you’re wearnig black thights
God sure must’ve known what he was looking for
I know my own mind, this is an evil sign
My body’s giving signals that I cannot ignore

There’s a crime wave baby
And I don’t mean maybe
There’s a crime wave baby
Cause of you

They’re stealing cars and starting wars
They’re writing songs for you on their electric guitars

Solo

Cars are crashing, blue lights are flashing
Tyres are squeeling when all men are kneeling
Here she goes, she’s a human rose
She must be evil, a love overdose
Sent from hell, she’s a real Jezebel
She smiles an d she teaeses, she hurts me, she sqeeuzes
She moves like a queen, wants to be seen

Hard times

I gave you a hard time, I told you the news
There's no I'm sorries 'cause there aint't no excuse
The things I've been doin' the things that I say
The road to ruin between you and me

My reason for cheating, I don't know what to say
Maybe it's nature havin' it's way
You know that I love youn but that's easy to say
You'd make me proud of you if you would stay

I promised you sunshine, I promised you you'd be all mine
Instead of the good times, A killer came and took your heart away

I gave you hard times, baby
I told the truth and lies

I was silly belevin' my lies could last
'Cause sooner or later the rumour would spread
I often wonder how the things would be
If you hadn't found out the truth about that girl and me

Can't promise you sunshine, can't promise you you'll be all mine
I'll try to be honest, unlike the first time it won't slip my mind

Life was so easy when I was that old
There were no lies and no things to be told
Just lullabies and time to grow old

And we'll be rollin' down the road

And I know the band is hot

Drivin' round in Chevrolets
Sometimes I stop to fill it up

Time
Royalty in Exile(1990)

You got me barking at your front door
You got me running wild like a little child
You made me crazy, you made me creep
Humiliate me way down deep
You made me cry, you made me sigh
You even made me wonder why
I’d fall for you baby
I’ll cling to you, I’ll never give up, never give up

Time baby, gimme time
I’m running wild running out of time

Come on, don’t tease me any longer
Let me know if you think it’s love
Oh I know, I let it show
Release your love and let it grow
You should be told it doesn’t hurt
To show your feelings, to hug and to flirt
Say it baby, say what’s on your lips
I’ve had enough of you playing tricks, playing tricks

Time baby, gimme time
I’m running wild running out of time

SOLO

Time baby, gimme time
I’m running wild running out of time

Live it up
Royalty in Exile(1990)

Neon light
Wanderin' around, Feelin' alright
Crowded street
Pushers, Pimps, It's the elite
Take a shot of brandy at the "Full Moon Bar"
Better take one for the road
Slam some tequila at "The Boulevard"
Hope I'll die before I grow old

Live it up, move it up down the road
I gotta live it up, move it up down the road

Cheap perfume
A lonely lady walkin' into the room
She's on the sauce
She lifts het glass and she spills of course
She's lookin' pretty hot in a suit and tie
She tries to make me feel like i'm the coolest guy
But there will be heart ache at the end of the line
To me it's just a good time

Repeat chorus

Where's my mates? They didn't keep the promises that they made
Where's my date? Pour me a drink, you'd better make it straight
Suddenly i'm on my own
Maybe there's a place called home

Medicine Man
Royalty in Exile(1990)

He's making deals with the devil
He sits by his right hand
He maybe promising heaven
But he ain't that kind of man
He's always talking by good times
But never in a future tense
If you decide to take his hand
Don't expect him to be your friend

He's comin' and goin'
The promised land
Don't ask him to help you
'Cause he can't

The Medicine Man (x2)

If you turn left at the cross roads
If you're headed for a dead end street
Don't be lookin' for stop signs
Cause that's something you won't meet
Don't be misleas by the roses
That grow by the side of the road
'Cause if you go back again barefoot
There's thorns deep in your soles

Barkeep
Royalty in Exile(1990)

Hey barkeep where's my favorite ale
To all my friends, to all their tales
Hey Peter, where's my favorite song
You know I like to sing along
I wish I had my stereo
So I could sit back and enjoy
Some real Rock 'n Roll

What's the story, what happened this weekend?
They say that Gilbert's in the can
And what they say about Jenny, can you tell me if it's true
Cause you know I love her too
I wish I had been here that night
I could've made her feel allright
I could've told her I love her so!

So hey barkeep, what's the latest tale
About male and female
Boy meets girl, it's a fantasy world
It's like every oyster had a pearl
But life ain't no fairy tale
So just gimme another ale
And I'll drink to Rock 'n Roll

Halfway Home
Skintight(1988)

I should have called you up
I shouldn't have left you by yourself
I should have run you down
I should have let you have your way
I shouldn't have beaten you black and blue
That was the meanest thing to do
But you know you were teasing me
you were pushing me over the edge

I knew I couldn't face you right away
I said I was sorry
I knew you would say

Still we are only halfway home (halfway home) Still we are only halfway home

But I'm not gonna change my point of view
That will be the last thing that I do
I made mistakes, I was wrong
Even though my arguments were strong
And I was walking on thin ice
Every step I took I thought twice
So if we don't meet again
I hope we can still be friends
I knew I couldn't face you right away
I was wrong but anyway

(CHORUS)

I'm waiting here by the phone booth
Trying to look up to the truth
And although it's freezing cold
This coin is to hot to hold
I just don't know what to do
Should I say I'm sorry, should I phone you?

(CHORUS)

Halfway home, halfway home...
You know I'm only halfway home...

Credit Cards
Skintight(1988)

Early morning beeping sound
Gulp down breakfast and I’m gone
Though I’m working hard all day
I can’t get no raise of pay

Maybe I’m just greedy
Maybe I’m just dumb
Maybe I’m just asking
For things that can’t be done

But I, I ain’t got no credit cards
That’s why I, I’m eating out my heart

Later in the afternoon
Strolling down the road
Buicks cruising up and down
Moving smooth and slow
Fancy cars, fancy bars, fancy limousines
All these people dine in places
I have never been

Some jerks drive a chevy
With a blonde you can dismount
I break down in traffic
When there’s no garage around

But I, I ain’t got no credit cards
That’s why I, I’m eating out my heart

SOLO

There’s no justice anymore
Let’s sing this song for the poor
Let’s get this show on the road
Cause that’ll be our only hold
Whatchasaynow!

But I, I ain’t got no credit cards
That’s why I, I’m eating out my heart
I, I ain’t got no credits card

Crystal Eyes
Skintight(1988)

Lay On The Grass Beside Me, Crystal Eyes
You Know You Hypnotise Me With Your Crystal Eyes
But I Woke Up When I Found Out ‘Bout Your Tiny Little Lies
And I Had To Face The Truth

Just In Time, You Know
Before You Made Me Blue
Comes A Time, You Know
When I Will Take No More
When I Will Take No More

So Lay On The Grass Beside Me, Crystal Eyes
You Know You Hypnotise Me With Your Crystal Eyes
Skin Tight Jeans Lying In The Green
But It’s Only Me Who Sees Your Tears

And It’s Time, You Know
That Maybe I Should Go
Make Up You’re Mind You Know
Before You’re On Your Own
Before You’re On Your Own

Lay On The Grass Beside Me, Crystal Eyes

Better Off without me
Skintight(1988)

We shared a good laugh
We shed a tear or two
And they can’t take that away
We shared the good times
We shared the bad times too
I know you want me to stay, oh yeah

What more can I say
When the feeling’s gone away
And I know that you will be better off without me
I just can’t explain
It would only bring you pain
And I know that you will be better off without me

Forget it honey, I wasn’t all that true
One night stands, I had a few
I didn’t tell you, I didn’t want to make you blue
Scared as hell to face the truth, oh yeah

CHORUS

We could’ve made it
You know just me and you
But it makes me feel so safe
Like birds of passage, they go their own way too
That’s exactly what I have to do

CHORUS
I couldn’t tell you why
But you know our love died
It’s time to say goodbye
I’d like to go in style

(Ain't no one gonna ) Take my Soul Away
The Pimp (1987)

They Can Take Away My Music
I Know How To Survive
They Can Take Away My Car
If Only They Would Try
If They Take Away My Money
I’ll Be Stealing From The Rich
If They Take Away My Fender
I’ll Be Crying Like A Kid
If They Take Away My Tongue
I’ll Be Singing With My Lips
And If They Run Me Down
I’ll Be Over The Edge

But There Ain’t No One Gonna Take My Soul Away
Whatever Happens It Will Always Be A Part Of Me

They Can Take Away My Food
I’ll Try To Stay Alive
If They Take Away My Friends
I’ll Die Deep Down Inside
If They Take Away My Liquor
I Wouldn’t Even Mind
They Can Take Away My Kicks
Cause I’m One Of A Kind
If They Made Me Fall In Love
I’d Go Blind
And If I Couldn’t Dance
I’d Be Out There Trying

But There Ain’t No One Gonna Take My Soul Away
Whatever Happens It Will Always Be A Part Of Me

Is This Life?
Here's to you gang (1983)

They’re gonna kill my creativity
They’re gonna put me in a suit
I’ve finished school, I’ve finished school
I figured it would be different

Is this life? (Is this life!)
Is this life? (Is this life!)
Is this life? (Is this life!)
Is this life? (Is this life!)

They don’t accept my clothes
They don’t accept my hair
They wanna put me in a monkey suit

They’re not asking for people
They’re asking for perfect robots
Always nice and never cruel
I wish I hadn’t gone to school
They laugh when you’re being yourself
They’re glad and polite (glad and polite)
They’re glad and polite (glad and polite)
When you dress up in a suit

I don’t fit in your game
I don’t fit in your company
Don’t wanna kill myself psychologically
By accepting you’re kind of responsability

Haven’t I got the right to live as a like? (repeat)

Trapped by the rain
Here's to you gang (1983)

I am sitting in my living room
I’m tired of records and eating candy
Today feels like a thousand mondays
And I just lie there on my own

Locked up in this house
Trapped here by the rain
Softly ticking on the window
Softly ticking into my brain

I’m trapped by the rain (x2)

I don’t wanna hear your social talk
Your songs, your stories or your jokes
Don’t let me hear you understand me
‘Cause you don’t, no you just don’t

Locked up in this house
Trapped here by the rain
Softly ticking on the window
Softly ticking into my brain

I’m trapped by the rain (x2)

And I am bored with this conversation
I heard all this talk before
And I’m so tired of that happy tune
They’re playing on the radio (x4)

Locked up in this house
Trapped here by the rain
Softly ticking on the window
Softly ticking into my brain

I’m trapped by the rain (x4)
