Rock Brigade

Remastered

Well, in the middle of the night and the early morning light
You can hear them a million miles away
They'll be bangin' on their drums bangin' on your door
Waving their flags telling you to score

Watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Oh no, it's the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Look out for the rock brigade
Leading you away, away

So when they hit your town you'd better get down
I'm telling no lies to you mister
Cause they live for rock'n'roll they'll try to steal your soul
Might even try to steal your sister
Watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Oh no it's the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Look out for the rock brigade
Leading you away, away, away
So in the middle of the night or the early morning light
If you hear them comin' your way
Well you'd better watch your step don't step out of line
Cause here they come one more time
Watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Oh no it's the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Look out for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
You better watch for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
I say watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Keep your eyes on the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Don't let your eyes off the rock brigade (rock brigade)
They'll be leading you away, away, away

Sorrow Is A Woman

Remastered

Your always pretending to be someone who prefers to be free
You think you can fool me with your lyin' eyes
But what is this game that you play when all that your trying to say
Is that your lonely, in need of a friend
Oh yeah sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do
And can't you see that it's true there's someone as lonely as you
Trying so hard, so hard to get through
And why can't everyone see the way that it really should be
Why hide your feelings and suffer the pain
Oh yeah, sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah, sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do
You know that sorrow is a woman
You know she'll make you feel sad
You know that sorrow is a woman
Oh yeah, sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah, sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do

It could Be You

Remastered

Who's the one to knock me over
Who's the one to take me by surprise
Who's the one who's out to get me
Who will share my fantasy tonight
It could be you, it could be me
It could be anyone
It could be you, it could be me
It could be you, it could be anyone
Do you really know the story?
Have you really come to see the band?
Can you reach out for the glory?
Can you feel the nearness of my hand?
It could be you, it could be me
It could be anyone
If you look a little harder
You can see we're really all the same
And if you look a little deeper
Can't you see it's really all a game?
It could be you, it could be me
It could be anyone
It could be you, it could be me
It could be you, it could be anyone

Satellite

Remastered

Midnight, bright light, shining from the sky
Circulating round the earth, trying to catch your eye
Lowdown, showdown, trying to break away
Stay on course, feel the force, careful what you say
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah can't you feel that it's real?
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah set your sights on the satellite
Me and you, rendezvous, we've got to take the chance
I'm paralyzed, I'm hypnotized, I'm in some kinda trance
Hazy, crazy, this things lost control
It's got the power, it's got the strength to steal away your soul
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah can't you feel that it's real?
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah set your sights on the satellite
It's burning up the sky
It's burning up the sky
Yes it's burning, yes it's burning
Can't you see that it's burning
Can't you see that it's burning
It's burning up the sky
Can't you see that it's burning
Midnight, bright light, shining from the sky
Circulating round the earth, trying to catch your eye
Lowdown, showdown, trying to break away
Stay on course feel the force, careful what you say
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah can't you feel that it's real?

When The Walls Came Tumbling Down

Remastered

On the first day of the first month in some distant year
The whole sky froze golden
Some said it was the aftermath of the radium bomb
While others told of a final retribution
A terrible revenge of the gods
But we understood the grand finale
Fulfillment of a prophecy told many years before
So all that was left was...
All the women were captured and chained
And national suicide was proclaimed
And New America fell to the ground
And all the children lay crippled and lame
But all the nations came together
In fear of the thought of the end
No more would we fight in the streets
No courage had we to defend
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
A blinding light the sun had died
A new moon took its place
Tidal waves and open graves the fate of the unhuman race
The city's heart no longer beats no pity have I left to lend
A sinner sits reciting Dylan it's now that I welcome the end
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Nobody made a sound
Down...

Wasted

Remastered

Well I've been lying awake all night just thinking of you
But a bottle of whiskey lies heavy obstructing my view
I've got a bottle of pills to give me my thrills
And I know that I'm leading a life that kills
Wasted - I've wasted my time
Wasted - I'm shooting a line
Wasted - I'm stuck in a hole
Wasted - I'm losing control
And I've been meaning to call, I've been wanting to phone
You see I don't like the thought of leaving you here alone
Well I've seen things down here that are fit for a queen
I've seen things down here that should never be seen
Wasted - I've wasted my money
Wasted - I've wasted you honey
Wasted - I'm out of my brain
Wasted - I'm going insane
I'm running in thin air
There's nothingness everywhere
I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me?
I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me?
I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me get out?
I thought I saw you just the other day
But it couldn't be you 'cos you had nothing to say
'He's going away', they told all my friends
Well now I'll be stuck in here til the misery ends
Wasted - I've wasted my time
Wasted - I'm shooting a line
Wasted - I'm out of my head
Wasted - I wish I was dead

Rocks Off

Remastered

Well we were gettin' ready just the other night
When a knock on the dressing room door
Gave way to a leather jacket little girl
Who we'd never ever seen before
In her red satin dress and her high heeled shoes
She took us all by surprise
And when she asked us what we wanted to do
Well, she said it with her eyes
Just getcha rocks off
When we finally took the stage there she was
But she wasn't on her own
'Cause she'd brought some friends maybe 5 or 6
Yeah, she must have been on the phone
And when they started dancing and jumping around
Well we couldn't believe our eyes
'Cause they'd got the whole damn audience rockin'
And they'd got us paralyzed
Just getcha rocks off

It Don't Matter

Remastered

Now in your big flash motor and your wild reputation
You're ready to hit the streets
Winking at the boys, yeah heading for the noise
Got the world at your feet
If leaving me for dead with a pistol at my head
Is your idea of how I'd feel
Well let me tell you honey 'fore you spend all of your money
I got my hands firmly on the wheel, yeah
It don't matter, it don't matter, it don't matter to me
It don't matter, it don't matter, it don't matter to me
Back street lover in the cold of the evening
Takes you to a place he knows
Says it will be fine better make up your mind
You've cut it deep and now it shows
It's way past midnight and you travel through the city
You wonder what you should do
Well baby can't you see that you've had enough of me
And I've certainly had enough of you
It don't matter, it don't matter, it don't matter to me
It don't matter, it don't matter, it don't matter to me
It don't matter, it don't matter, it don't matter to me
It don't matter, it don't matter, it don't matter to me
It don't matter, it don't matter, it don't matter to me
It don't matter, it don't matter, it don't matter to me
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter

Answer To The Master

Remastered

When the night time unfolds and the memories that you hold
Bring a light to your eyes though you know it's disguise
When the night turns to day you turn around and say
Magic mirror please tell is this heaven or hell?
Answer to the master
Can you look to the sky? Can you live through your lie?
Of the thoughts you can't trace which time can't erase
To a face on the wall do you often recall
What you said on the night when the new full moon was rising?
Answer to the master
When the night time unfolds and the memories that you hold
Bring a light to your eyes though you know it's disguise
When the night turns to day and you turn around and say
Magic mirror please tell is this heaven or hell?

Overture

Remastered

And with this message that I bring to you
A beacon of light to see you through
For the time is on our side
And a holy man does say to me
To always to be blind and never to see
It's not the way he planned it, oh no
The time has come to gather up your thoughts
For you have said your piece
The lords of light will change this land
From famine into feast
The buildings that once stood so tall have crumbled to the ground
The silver warriors who came in force are nowhere to be found
Time is the essence the priests do say
To restore your faith in man
For the job you do and the role you play
Will help rebuild this land
Through empty streets and dusty fields we'll fight for what we need
Protected by our swords and shields we can replant the seed
The roads ahead are long and winding
On which the bandits thrive
But we have the power of finding
Illusion to keep us alive
So through the valleys and over the hills we'll march and sing in
rhyme
We'll fight until we lose our will for essence is our time
The sun, the moon, the darkened sky
The morning dew reflecting in my eye
The rising mist, the dampened earth
Are just reminders of what life's worth
And with this message that I bring to you
A beacon of light to see you through
For time is on our side
For time is the essence

Another Hit And Run

Union Jack is back with a hole in his head 
He's gettin' badly burned every time 
He's laughin' at me and dancin' on my sneakers 
And his sixties songs are blowin' up my speakers 

I say you got no respect 
Respect for authority 
You're just playing your dirty tricks 
And then come cryin' to me 

Hit and run, hit and run 
It's just a hit and run 
Another hit and run 

The bulldog lost his bite and his breath has gone bad 
And the whole damn world is really laughin' mad 

Repeat Bridge

Hit it!! 
Oh bring it down 
Oh you bring it down 

I say you ain't got no respect

No you ain't got no respect 
And you hit me when I'm down 

Hit and run, hit and run 
It's just another hit and run 
I said it's just another hit and run

The wait is done, the battle's won 
So count the cost before you run 
'Cos on and on your time was power 
The clock on the wall ticks away the hours 
Come on down, you're flyin' high 
You'll never win if you never try 
Stop the hate and carry the load 
Come on, get this show on the road 

On through the night 
You can't stop me now 
On through the night 
You won't stop me anyhow 

The stakes are high and gettin' higher 
I'm flat on my face and you call me liar 
I'm watching you, you're watching me 
You're watching every move that I can see 
My reputation's still at stake 
I play it safe for safety's sake 
Your ego and your promises 
Are gonna fade again and again 

Repeat Chorus 

Not anyhow 
All you want to hear 
Is the audience applause 
You can't get on stage 
For a country clause 
And the road ahead seems a little rough 
If you want to know my feelings 
I say that's tough, that's tough 
Your wheels ain't turnin', you're out of gas 
You pay by check but they take cash 
Two roads ahead but which to take 
And you can't see it's your mistake 

They're waitin' for you 
They're waitin' for me 
And what seems like eternity 
It's all tradition, it'll get you yet 
In rock'n'roll there's no safety net 

Repeat Chorus 

On through the night 
Goin' on and on, on and on 
On through the night 
You can't stop me anyhow 
Oh no no anyhow

Oh yeah 
She was a foxy rocker, a roxy roller 
An unchained sex machine 
Yeah 
Slippin' slidin', electric glidin' 
And boy she was mean, I said mean 
High class dealer, sippin' her tequila 
Comin' on pretty strong 
Real love stealer, rebel rousin' squealer 
She said go but I said no 

I kept saying no, no no no no no 
I kept saying no, no no no no no 

Waiting at the back door 
Couldn't take it anymore 
Didn't know where she'd been 
She looked pretty neat, turnin' on the heat 
And only seventeen, seventeen 
Windin' her up, bringin' her down 
She wanted it just the same 
Said stick around, that's when I found 
I only had myself to blame 

I kept saying no, no no no no no 
I kept saying no, no no no no no 

High class dealer, sippin' on tequila

When The Walls Came Tumbling Down

Live At The New Theatre Oxford, UK / 1980

On the first day of the first month in some distant year
The whole sky froze golden
Some said it was the aftermath of the radium bomb
While others told of a final retribution
A terrible revenge of the gods
But we understood the grand finale
Fulfillment of a prophecy told many years before
So all that was left was...
All the women were captured and chained
And national suicide was proclaimed
And New America fell to the ground
And all the children lay crippled and lame
But all the nations came together
In fear of the thought of the end
No more would we fight in the streets
No courage had we to defend
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
A blinding light the sun had died
A new moon took its place
Tidal waves and open graves the fate of the unhuman race
The city's heart no longer beats no pity have I left to lend
A sinner sits reciting Dylan it's now that I welcome the end
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Nobody made a sound
Down...

It Could Be You

Live At The New Theatre Oxford, UK / 1980

Who's the one to knock me over
Who's the one to take me by surprise
Who's the one who's out to get me
Who will share my fantasy tonight
It could be you, it could be me
It could be anyone
It could be you, it could be me
It could be you, it could be anyone
Do you really know the story?
Have you really come to see the band?
Can you reach out for the glory?
Can you feel the nearness of my hand?
It could be you, it could be me
It could be anyone
If you look a little harder
You can see we're really all the same
And if you look a little deeper
Can't you see it's really all a game?
It could be you, it could be me
It could be anyone
It could be you, it could be me
It could be you, it could be anyone

Answer To The Master

Live At The New Theatre Oxford, UK / 1980

When the night time unfolds and the memories that you hold
Bring a light to your eyes though you know it's disguise
When the night turns to day you turn around and say
Magic mirror please tell is this heaven or hell?
Answer to the master
Can you look to the sky? Can you live through your lie?
Of the thoughts you can't trace which time can't erase
To a face on the wall do you often recall
What you said on the night when the new full moon was rising?
Answer to the master
When the night time unfolds and the memories that you hold
Bring a light to your eyes though you know it's disguise
When the night turns to day and you turn around and say
Magic mirror please tell is this heaven or hell?

Sorrow Is a Woman

Live At The New Theatre Oxford, UK / 1980

Your always pretending to be someone who prefers to be free
You think you can fool me with your lyin' eyes
But what is this game that you play when all that your trying to say
Is that your lonely, in need of a friend
Oh yeah sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do
And can't you see that it's true there's someone as lonely as you
Trying so hard, so hard to get through
And why can't everyone see the way that it really should be
Why hide your feelings and suffer the pain
Oh yeah, sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah, sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do
You know that sorrow is a woman
You know she'll make you feel sad
You know that sorrow is a woman
Oh yeah, sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah, sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do

You're ready to hit the streets
Winking at the boys, yeah heading for the noise
Got the world at your feet

Well let me tell you honey 'fore you spend all of your money
I got my hands firmly on the wheel, yeah

Overture

Live At The New Theatre Oxford, UK / 1980

And with this message that I bring to you
A beacon of light to see you through
For the time is on our side
And a holy man does say to me
To always to be blind and never to see
It's not the way he planned it, oh no
The time has come to gather up your thoughts
For you have said your piece
The lords of light will change this land
From famine into feast
The buildings that once stood so tall have crumbled to the ground
The silver warriors who came in force are nowhere to be found
Time is the essence the priests do say
To restore your faith in man
For the job you do and the role you play
Will help rebuild this land
Through empty streets and dusty fields we'll fight for what we need
Protected by our swords and shields we can replant the seed
The roads ahead are long and winding
On which the bandits thrive
But we have the power of finding
Illusion to keep us alive
So through the valleys and over the hills we'll march and sing in
rhyme
We'll fight until we lose our will for essence is our time
The sun, the moon, the darkened sky
The morning dew reflecting in my eye
The rising mist, the dampened earth
Are just reminders of what life's worth
And with this message that I bring to you
A beacon of light to see you through
For time is on our side
For time is the essence

Ooh yeah 
Oh

You came into my life like a whirlwind girl 
You let me know what lovin' really means 

Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you 
Lady strange, oh lady strange I need you 

You got me where you want me girl 
So no messin' around 
You know I never played that hard to please 
I've been here many times before 
And walked this sacred ground 
But this time you got me on my knees 
You got me 

Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you 
Lady strange, oh lady strange I need you 
Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you 
Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you

Oh oh oh 
Taking love from you's like taking candy from a baby 
But lady strange there is no stranger lady 
No 
Just you and me we make love, good love 
So let me know what lovin' really means 
Woman please 

Repeat Chorus

When a knock on the dressing room door
Gave way to a leather jacket little girl
Who we'd never ever seen before
In her red satin dress and her high heeled shoes
Well she took us all by surprise
When she asked us what we wanted to do
Well she said it with her eyes

When we finally took the stage there she was
But she wasn't on her own
'Cos she brought some friends, maybe 5 or 6
Yeah she must have been on the phone
And when they started dancing and jumping around
Well we couldn't believe our eyes
'Cos they got the whole audience rockin'
And they got us paralyzed

But a bottle of whiskey lies heavy obstructing my view
I've got a bottle of pills to give me my thrills
And I know that I'm leading a life that kills
Wasted - I've wasted my time
Wasted - I'm shooting a line
Wasted - I'm stuck in a hole
Wasted - I'm losing control
And I've been meaning to call, I've been wanting to phone
You see I don't like the thought of leaving you here alone
Well I've seen things down here that are fit for a queen
I've seen things down here that should never be seen
Wasted - I've wasted my money
Wasted - I've wasted you honey
Wasted - I'm out of my brain
Wasted - I'm going insane
I'm running in thin air
There's nothingness everywhere
I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me?
I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me?
I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me get out?
I thought I saw you just the other day
But it couldn't be you 'cos you had nothing to say
'He's going away', they told all my friends
Well now I'll be stuck in here til the misery ends
Wasted - I've wasted my time
Wasted - I'm shooting a line
Wasted - I'm out of my head
Wasted - I wish I was dead

Hello and welcome my friend
It's good to see you again
Do you know anything new
Tell me is this really you
Hey, what's the story in LA
I haven't been there today
It's time we went for a ride
Come on and step right inside
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
Darkness our sole destination
Daylight our only intention
White lightning brightens the sky
Can't tell we're flying so high
Rest now and don't be afraid
Can't you see we've got it made
Just cause I'm not going far
That doesn't mean that we can't reach the stars
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
Sad story that look in your eyes
Break out before it's too late
Now come and lay down by my side
Let all the thoughts slip away
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
I'm alive
Alive

Make it last, don't let go 

A warm body is one way 
You're not leaving, c'mon stay 
So get down on your knees 
And let me know you're here to please 

Let it rock, yeah, let it roll 
Let it, let it go 
You gotta, let it rock, let it roll 
Yeah just let it go 

Let it go, let it go 
Whoah 
Cool woman, cool eyes, got me hypnotized 
Slow down, hold on 
You're too fast, you're too strong 
I need a woman, I want her to love 
A wound up woman 
And you do what I want, what I want 

Oh yeah 
Slow down, hold on 
You're too fast, you're too strong 
Take it slow, make it last 
Take it easy, not too fast 
And don't let go 

No! Rock steady, we're still shaking 
I'm ready for the taking 
So make your move, you might be 
And get a-ready for the big scene 

Yeah 
Let it rock, yeah, let it roll 
Let it, let it go 
You gotta, let it rock, let it roll 
Yeah just let it go

Bringin' On The Heartbreak

Single Edit

Gypsy, sittin' lookin' pretty 
The broken rose with laughin' eyes 
You're a mystery, always runnin' wild 
Like a child without a home 
You're always searching, searching for a feeling 
That it's easy come and easy go 

Oh I'm sorry but it's true 
You're bringin' on the heartbreak 
Takin' all the best of me 
Oh can't you see? 
You got the best of me 
Whoah can't you see? 

You're bringin' on the heartbreak 
Bringin' on the heartache 
You're bringin' on the heartbreak 
Bringin' on the heartache 
Can't you see? 

Oh whoah 
You're such a secret, misty eyed and shady 
Lady how you hold the key 
Oh you're like a candle, your flame slowly fadin' 
Burnin' out and burnin' me 

Can't you see? 
Just try and say to you 

You're bringin' on the heartache 
Takin' all the best of me 
Oh can't you see? 
You got the best of me 
Whoah can't you see? 

You're bringin' on the heartbreak 
Bringin' on the heartache 
You're bringin' on the heartbreak 
Bringin' on the heartache 

Can't you see? 
Can't you see?

Me And My Wine
Oh yeah 
C'mon 
Oh yeah 
Oh 
Well I'm down in the alley of sally 
And I'm feeling my way 
And it's four in the morning 
I don't have a lot I can say 

I know I'm looking for some satisfaction 
But there ain't much news 
Got some walking from a back reaction 
I'm hanging down and loose 

Oh me and the boys have been drinking 
Feeling like this is the wrong time for thinking 
All I can say is 
I'm doing fine with just me and my wine 

Now my brain and my body are runnin' on different rails 
And I died and just say hi what if all else fails 
Oh I woke up in a subway station 
Lying half dead on the floor 
I don't remember anything that happened the night before 

Repeat Chorus 

Now listen 
My hair's a real mess 
I feel and look like a joke 
And there's a hole in my jeans 
I just went right of smokes 
You know I'd like to get to know you 
But I ain't got the time 
I'm tryin' harder and harder 
To make this damn thing right 
Just me and my wine 

Well just me and my wine 
You know that I'm doing fine 
Well just me and my wine 
Ow 
Thank you

Glad I'm Alive

BBC Andy Peebles Session

Hello and welcome my friend
It's good to see you again
Do you know anything new
Tell me is this really you
Hey, what's the story in LA
I haven't been there today
It's time we went for a ride
Come on and step right inside
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
Darkness our sole destination
Daylight our only intention
White lightning brightens the sky
Can't tell we're flying so high
Rest now and don't be afraid
Can't you see we've got it made
Just cause I'm not going far
That doesn't mean that we can't reach the stars
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
Sad story that look in your eyes
Break out before it's too late
Now come and lay down by my side
Let all the thoughts slip away
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
I'm alive
Alive

Sorrow Is A Woman

BBC Andy Peebles Session

Your always pretending to be someone who prefers to be free
You think you can fool me with your lyin' eyes
But what is this game that you play when all that your trying to say
Is that your lonely, in need of a friend
Oh yeah sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do
And can't you see that it's true there's someone as lonely as you
Trying so hard, so hard to get through
And why can't everyone see the way that it really should be
Why hide your feelings and suffer the pain
Oh yeah, sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah, sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do
You know that sorrow is a woman
You know she'll make you feel sad
You know that sorrow is a woman
Oh yeah, sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah, sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do

Wasted

BBC Andy Peebles Session

Well I've been lying awake all night just thinking of you
But a bottle of whiskey lies heavy obstructing my view
I've got a bottle of pills to give me my thrills
And I know that I'm leading a life that kills
Wasted - I've wasted my time
Wasted - I'm shooting a line
Wasted - I'm stuck in a hole
Wasted - I'm losing control
And I've been meaning to call, I've been wanting to phone
You see I don't like the thought of leaving you here alone
Well I've seen things down here that are fit for a queen
I've seen things down here that should never be seen
Wasted - I've wasted my money
Wasted - I've wasted you honey
Wasted - I'm out of my brain
Wasted - I'm going insane
I'm running in thin air
There's nothingness everywhere
I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me?
I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me?
I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me get out?
I thought I saw you just the other day
But it couldn't be you 'cos you had nothing to say
'He's going away', they told all my friends
Well now I'll be stuck in here til the misery ends
Wasted - I've wasted my time
Wasted - I'm shooting a line
Wasted - I'm out of my head
Wasted - I wish I was dead

Answer To The Master

BBC Andy Peebles Session

When the night time unfolds and the memories that you hold
Bring a light to your eyes though you know it's disguise
When the night turns to day you turn around and say
Magic mirror please tell is this heaven or hell?
Answer to the master
Can you look to the sky? Can you live through your lie?
Of the thoughts you can't trace which time can't erase
To a face on the wall do you often recall
What you said on the night when the new full moon was rising?
Answer to the master
When the night time unfolds and the memories that you hold
Bring a light to your eyes though you know it's disguise
When the night turns to day and you turn around and say
Magic mirror please tell is this heaven or hell?
Answer to the master

When the Walls Came Tumbling Down
On the first day of the first month in some distant year
The whole sky froze golden
Some said it was the aftermath of the radium bomb
While others told of a final retribution
A terrible revenge of the gods
But we understood the grand finale
Fulfillment of a prophecy told many years before
So all that was left was...
All the women were captured and chained
And national suicide was proclaimed
And New America fell to the ground
And all the children lay crippled and lame
But all the nations came together
In fear of the thought of the end
No more would we fight in the streets
No courage had we to defend
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
A blinding light the sun had died
A new moon took its place
Tidal waves and open graves the fate of the unhuman race
The city's heart no longer beats no pity have I left to lend
A sinner sits reciting Dylan it's now that I welcome the end
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Nobody made a sound
Down...

Overture

Live At The Reading Festival 1980

And with this message that I bring to you
A beacon of light to see you through
For the time is on our side
And a holy man does say to me
To always to be blind and never to see
It's not the way he planned it, oh no
The time has come to gather up your thoughts
For you have said your piece
The lords of light will change this land
From famine into feast
The buildings that once stood so tall have crumbled to the ground
The silver warriors who came in force are nowhere to be found
Time is the essence the priests do say
To restore your faith in man
For the job you do and the role you play
Will help rebuild this land
Through empty streets and dusty fields we'll fight for what we need
Protected by our swords and shields we can replant the seed
The roads ahead are long and winding
On which the bandits thrive
But we have the power of finding
Illusion to keep us alive
So through the valleys and over the hills we'll march and sing in
rhyme
We'll fight until we lose our will for essence is our time
The sun, the moon, the darkened sky
The morning dew reflecting in my eye
The rising mist, the dampened earth
Are just reminders of what life's worth
And with this message that I bring to you
A beacon of light to see you through
For time is on our side
For time is the essence

Lady Strange

Ow 
Ooh yeah 
Oh 
I never needed love before 
Till I met you girl 
A girl like you I have never seen 
You came into my life like a whirlwind girl 
You let me know what lovin' really means 

Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you 
Lady strange, oh lady strange I need you 

You got me where you want me girl 
So no messin' around 
You know I never played that hard to please 
I've been here many times before 
And walked this sacred ground 
But this time you got me on my knees 
You got me 

Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you 
Lady strange, oh lady strange I need you 
Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you 
Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you 
I need you 

Oh you're so strange 
Oh oh oh 
Taking love from you's like taking candy from a baby 
But lady strange there is no stranger lady 
No 
Just you and me we make love, good love 
So let me know what lovin' really means 
Woman please 

Repeat Chorus 

I need you 
I want you 
Yeah

Getcha Rocks Off

Live At The Reading Festival 1980

Well we were gettin' ready just the other night
When a knock on the dressing room door
Gave way to a leather jacket little girl
Who we'd never ever seen before
In her red satin dress and her high heeled shoes
Well she took us all by surprise
When she asked us what we wanted to do
Well she said it with her eyes
Just getcha rocks off

When we finally took the stage there she was
But she wasn't on her own
'Cos she brought some friends, maybe 5 or 6
Yeah she must have been on the phone
And when they started dancing and jumping around
Well we couldn't believe our eyes
'Cos they got the whole audience rockin'
And they got us paralyzed
Just getcha rocks off
