It took a while but it drove me senseless
Now they say, I'm non compos mentis
Little wonder I'm still here at all
Staring out from the guilt free on the wall

It's what happens when you mess with matches
Everything's reduced to ashes
Now I'm lost and brokenhearted
My dreams had barely started

You're never gonna drive those demons
Out of my mind
I know you've gone, but you're never
Out of my mind
Still see those pictures of hell, sends me
Out of my mind

My memory's photographic
Some of those images stopped the traffic
It wasn't me, it wasn't you
Feel that it's nothing new

I'm not guilty, but I'm conscious
A bad net weight on my conscience
Another thing I have to mention
Sadly there's no redemption

You're never gonna drive those demons
Out of my mind
I know you've gone, but you're never
Out of my mind
Still see those pictures of hell, sends me
Out of my mind

I want a lonely life
I want a lonely life

You're never gonna drive those demons
Out of my mind
I know you've gone, but you're never
Out of my mind
Still see those pictures of hell, sends me
Out of my mind
				

[Verse 1]
Accept the fact that your second rate life is easy for you
It's all served up on a gold plated plate
And we don't even have to talk to you
Your face is normal, that's the way you're bred
And that's the way you're going to stay
Your head is firmly nailed to your TV channel
But someone else's finger's on the control panel

[Chorus]
What you gonna be, what you gonna be brother?
Zero the hero
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother?
Zero the hero
When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother?
Zero the hero
Impossibility, impissibolity, mother
Really a hero

[Verse 2]
You sit there, watch it all burn down
It's easy and breezy for you
You play your life to a different sound
No edge, no edge, you got no knife have you
Your life is a six lane highway to nowhere
You're going so fast you're never ever gonna get down there
Where the heroes sit by the river
With a magic in their music as they eat raw liver

[Chorus]
What you gonna be, what you gonna be brother?
Zero the hero
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother?
Zero the hero
When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother?
Zero the hero
Impossibility, impissibolity, mother
Really a hero

[Verse 3]
You stand there captain, and we all look
You really are mediocre
You are the champion in the Acme form book
But I think you're just a joker
Your freedom life ain't so much of a pity
But the luv-a-ducking way you're walking around
The city with your balls and your head full of nothing
It's easy for you sucker, but you really need stuffing

[Chorus]
What you gonna be, what you gonna be brother?
Zero the hero
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother?
Zero the hero
When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother?
Zero the hero
Impossibility, impossibility, mother
Really a hero
				

It really was a meeting
The bottle took a beating
The ladies of the manor
Watched me climb into my car and I was
Going down the track about a hundred and five

They had the stopwatch rolling
I had the headlights blazing I was really alive
And yet my mind was blowing
I drank a bottle of tequila and I felt real good

I had the tape deck roaring
But on the twenty-fifth lap at the canal turn
I went off exploring
I knew I wouldn't make it the car just wouldn't make it

I was turning the tires burning
The ground was in my sky
I was laughing the bitch was trashed
And death was in my eye

I had started pretty good and I was feeling my way
I had the wheels in motion
There was Peter and the Greenfly laughing like drains
Inebriation

Jesus Christ Superstar Original Studio Cast
The crowd was roaring I was at Brands Hatch
In my imagination
But at the canal turn I hit an oily patch
Inebriation

Ooh Mr. Miracle, you saved me from some pain
I thank you Mr. Miracle, I won't get trashed again
Ooh, can you hear my lies
Don't you bother with this fool just laugh into my eyes

So we went back to the bar and hit the bottle again
But there was no tequila
Then we started on the whiskey just to steady our brains
'Cause there was no tequila

And as we drank a little faster at the top of our hill
We began to roll
And as we got trashed we were laughing still
Oh bless my soul
				

I can’t escape, her love is like a prison
And she’s got the key
Her lips are warm, her body's soft
Her sparkling eyes are burning deep inside my soul

How can I stay away from this nightmare
How can I stand on my feet
I’ve got to be strong

You wanna be the man she wants
You wanna break the chain
From a haunting past

The woman's mine
She's not your kind
She’ll break you like a toy
And you will live too less

Let me take you away from this nightmare
Give me your hand and I’ll make you strong

I wanna get away, get away, get away
I wanna get away from all this confusion
I wanna get away, get away, get away
I wanna get away from all this confusion
I wanna get away, get away, get away
I wanna get away from all this confusion
I wanna get away, get away, get away
I wanna get away from all this confusion

I wanna be the man she wants
I pay my price and now it’s burning deep inside

Don’t waste your word
Don’t waste your time
And I don’t care what do you say
Because she's mine

Let’s get away from this nightmare
Give me your hand and I’ll make you strong

I wanna get away, get away, get away
I wanna get away from all this confusion
I wanna get away, get away, get away
I wanna get away from all this confusion
I wanna get away, get away, get away
I wanna get away from all this confusion
I wanna get away, get away, get away
I wanna get away from all this confusion

I wanna get away, get away, get away
I wanna get away from all this confusion
I wanna get away, get away, get away
I wanna get away from all this confusion
I wanna get away, get away, get away
I wanna get away from all this confusion
I wanna get away, get away, get away
I wanna get away from all this confusion
I wanna get away, get away, get away
I wanna get away from all this confusion
				

Tell me about your revelation
What did it take for you to blame yourself?
There is no communication
Sooner or later better watch your health

Why have you been so temperamental?
I see that you suffer through demented eyes
Wanted to be experimental
It's all in the head, you wanna improvise

Don't wanna wait, you can't recall
Don't you relate, oh anymore
Warm is the gun, the shadows fall
Don't wanna wait

Now who's the one who will protect you
You're losin' your grip and you are left to crawl
You need someone who will direct you
You're out on the edge and you begin to fall

Don't wanna wait, you can't recall
Don't you relate, oh anymore
Warm is the gun, the shadows fall
Don't wanna wait

Slip away, won't you make me understand
Slip away, how does it feel, how does it feel
Slip away, tell me 'bout your master plan
Slip away, how does it feel, how does it feel

Tell me about your revelation
What did it take for you to blame yourself?
There is no communication
Sooner or later better watch your health

Don't wanna wait, you can't recall
Don't you relate, oh anymore
Warm is the gun, the shadows fall
Don't wanna wait

Slip away, won't you make me understand
Slip away, how does it feel, how does it feel
Slip away, tell me 'bout your master plan
Slip away, how does it feel, how does it feel

I don't want to know you
You couldn't get much colder
So why do you think I'd follow
And you live in sorrow

Slip away, won't you make me understand
Slip away, how does it feel
Slip away, you gotta tell me 'bout your master plan
Slip away, how does it feel, how does it
				

And that's what dreams are for
Knocking at your spiritual door
It's easy
Just go with the flow

I told you before
When your body is burning
You reach for the light
In the heat of the night
You can't resist
Don't hold me back

And that's what I've been thinking about
Breaking into your open heart
It's no big deal
Just go with the flow

I told you before
When your body is burning
You reach for the light
In the heat of the night
You can't resist
Don't hold me back
				

I put my bags down for a minute
I put the phone down for a while
I must have done something bad and wicked
Or I'd have got more than just an evil smile

It's not my job to see the future
Right now is bad enough
But if I don't get out of here
It's going to get worse
It's going to get rough

All day, all night
Forever moaning
I think it's a sign
All day, all night
Whatever I do
She thinks it's a crime

I throw my hands up in surrender
She put her foot down, I rest my case
She's gonna hurt me now and forever
With that bad look on her face

Now the future's not too certain
Thinking about it makes me twitch
But if I don't get out of here
It's going to get worse
If I stay with that girl

All day, all night
She won't stop moaning
I think it's a sign
All day, all night
Whatever I do
She thinks it's a crime
				

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time

Frank Zappa and the mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground

Fire in the sky

They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground

When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race

Fire in the sky

We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the rolling truck stones thing just outside
Just making our music there

With a few red lights and a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget

Fire in the sky
				

Change in the weather
Changing weather
It gets no better

Room for improvement
Room for rent
Needs money spent

I got no sense, brothers
I sit alone, I sit alone
Got no sense of belonging
Gettin' nowhere, can't go home

There's no one here me to help me drown my sorrows
With just a splash of holy water
And I can't see a thing beyond tomorrow
Thank the Lord for holy water

Born to be guilty
Born to be bad
Can't miss what can't be had

It's time for reflection
Time to think
Time to have another drink

I got no sense, brothers
I took the blame but I felt no shame
I've got no sense of belonging
It's gettin' late, can't simulate

There's no one here me to help me drown my sorrows
With just a splash of holy water
And I can't see a thing beyond tomorrow
Well thank the Lord for holy water

I got no sense, brothers
I took the blame but I felt no shame
I've got no sense of belonging
It's gettin' late, but I can't go home

Hey brother, come and help me drown my sorrows
I'm getting low on holy water
I don't wanna see beyond tomorrow
Bless the Lord for holy water

There's no one here me to help me drown my sorrows
Oh, just a splash of holy water
I can't see a thing beyond tomorrow
Bless you all for holy water
				

Spiritus Sanctus Anno Anno Mundi
Spiritus Sanctus Anno Anno Mundi

Can you see me, are you near me?
Can you hear me crying out for life?
Can you tell me, where's the glory?
Ride the days and sail the nights
When it's over you'll find the answer
Running in the whispering rain
Anno Mundi? Can you wonder!
Truth of thunder, life or blame

Do you see a vision of a perfect place?
Does it make you laugh, put a smile on your face?
Do you need a mirror, do you see it well?
Does the hand of God still toll the bell?
There are people laughing
They're all laughing at you
If only they could see what you're saying was true
Still generals fighting, making war on the world
Don't they know, don't they know?
No, no, no

[Hook]
As winds of night blows cold
Your eyes are burning
As the sands of our time grow old
Anno mundi

Do you follow the path that so many tread?
Are you among the blind so easily lead?
Do you join the war, do you fight for the cause?
Depend on another to fight it alone

[Hook]
As winds of night blows cold
Your eyes are burning
As the sands of our time grow old
No, no, no

Spiritus Sanctus Anno Anno Mundi
Spiritus Sanctus Anno Anno Mundi

Can you see me now, can you hear me now?
Can you tell me, where's the glory?
Ride the days and sail the nights
When it's over, you'll find the answer
Runnin' in the rain
Truth of thunder, life or blame

There's a hope that's growing and a vision too
All those angry hearts now reach out for you
Do you look to the dawn, see a new day begun?
No longer the fool, the vision is done
[Hook]
As winds of night blow cold
Your eyes are burning
And the sands of our time grow old
Your eyes are burning
And winds of night blow cold
Your eyes are burning
And the sands of our time grow old
Your eyes are burning
				

I see you gotta gold medal
You got your money in the bank
I see you gunnin' on the pedal
You wanna hit me like a tank
You like to play your music louder
Until the blood is on the track
You know you never have been prouder
You're gonna get a heart attack

It's everything that you want
It's everything that you need
You gotta move a little faster
Now won't you take me for a ride
Until the sun comes up at the break of day
You know it's everything that I need

Why don't you let it down easy
And show me what you got
Why don't you let it down easy
Cos the joint is getting hot

You know you got me liberated
And I don't need to take a pill
I never wanna be frustrated
I never saw it on the bill

It's everything that you want
It's everything that you need
You know you really wanna taste it
You know you wanna get inside
Until the sun comes up at the break of day
You know it's everything that I need

Why don't you let it down easy
And show me what you got
Why don't you let it down easy
Cos the joint is getting' hot

I said yeah yeah
Yeah yeah

Why don't you let it down easy
And show me what you got
Why don't you let it down easy
Yeah yeah yeah

Why don't you let it down easy
And show me what you got
Why don't you let it down easy
The joint is getting' hot

Why don't you let it down easy
And show me what you got
Why don't you let it down easy
Cos the joint is getting' hot
I said yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Just gonna play, yeah yeah
Yeah

Let it down
Come on, let it down
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
				

I can’t believe you wanna leave
When you know it’ll hurt me so
I’m down on bended knees
Begging please not to go

Think of all the love we shared
And all the fun we had
And now you wanna leave
Don’t you know that it’ll drive me mad

My life my heart my love
Is in your hands
And now you’re gonna leave me
You’re gonna leave me for another man

Think of all the love we shared
All the fun we had
And now you’re gonna leave
Baby don’t you know that it’ll drive me mad

My life my heart my love
Is in your hands
And now you’re gonna leave me
You’re gonna leave me for another man

Think of all the love we shared
All the fun we had
And now you’re gonna leave
Don’t you know that it’ll drive me mad
				

Listen everybody especially you girls
Is it right to be left alone?
While the one you love is never home?
I love too hard my friends sometimes say

I believe I believe that a woman should be loved that way
But it hurts me so inside to see her treat me so unkind
Somebody somewhere tell her it's unfair
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?

Somebody is it right to be treated so bad
When you've given everything you had?
Even tossing in my sleep
'Cause I haven't seen my baby all week

Now you chicks all agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Up early in the morning with her on my mind
Just to find out all night that I've been crying

But I believe a woman's a man's best friend
So I'm going to stick by her till the very end
But she caused so much misery
I forget how love is supposed to be

Somebody somewhere tell her it's unfair
Can I get a witness?
I want a witness
Witness witness
Witness witness

Everybody knows
Especially you girls
That love can be sad
But I have a love that's twice as bad

Now all you chicks agree
That ain't the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear you
Let me hear you say

I want a witness
I want a witness
I want a witness
I want a witness

Somebody is it right to be treated so bad
When you've given everything you had?
Even tossing in my sleep
'Cause I haven't seen my baby all week
But she caused so much misery
That ain't the way love's supposed to be
I want a witness
I want a witness
I want a witness
I want a witness
				

I used to be a sinner used to have my cake and eat it
They warned me of my fate but I was quite prepared
To meet it
You'll go to Hell they smiled at me
And told me of the roaring fires
But I was happy living wild
And fuelling my own desires
I was a wild man
Drinking, smoking and messing around with women
Lots of women
No, not swimming, women

I wanna go to Heaven
The place to be is right up there
I wanna go to Heaven
It's gonna be good so I won't despair

I decided to reform and pray
Beg mercy for my soul
I prayed in Church
Threw away my bad habits
Prayed out of Church
Adopted an entirely different role
I gave money to the poor
Until I was poor
But at least I ensured
That I would go up there
Instead of down below
To the inferno
Where the evil flames of desire
Burned higher and higher and higher

I'm gonna go to Heaven
Paid my dues so I'm getting in
I'm gonna go to Heaven
It's looking good if I abstain from sin

I knocked on the pearly gates
Neatly side-stepping the long queue
Waved hi to St. Peter
Who checked my card and let me through
I smiled
Threw my hands in the air
Laughed
And got arrested
The said 'hey man, you're in the wrong place
You behaviour is a disgrace
Here we pray every hour
On the hour
Read extracts from the Bible
And look solemn'
What says I, no party
No party
Let me out

Let me out of Heaven
I got it wrong no I can't stay here
No laughing in Heaven
Let me out, I just can't stay here
Well I ran around in a state of shock and panic
This wasn't what I expected
Here was what looked like a bunch of manic-depressives
Can I get a transfer I screamed
But no
Once you're in Heaven, you're here for good
The good of your soul
But that's no good to me
If you want to go to Hell
You've really got to be bad
Okay okay, I'll be bad, I'll be bad
Too late
What do you mean too late
Too late
No
In the meantime

Let me out of Heaven
I've got it wrong, no I can't stay here
No laughing in Heaven
Oh god it's awful here
Going crazy in Heaven
Take me out let me go to Hell
No laughing in Heaven
Don't laugh this place is Hell
				

If you're leaving, close the door
I'm not expecting people anymore
Hear me grieving, lying on the floor
Whether I'm drunk or dead, I'm really not too sure

I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man
Now my world is pale
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know there ain't a sadder tale

I had a friend once in a room
We had a good time but it ended much too soon
In a cold month in that room
We found a reason for the things we had to do

I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man
Now my room is cold
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know, feels it from his soul

I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man
Now my room is cold
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know, he feels it from his soul
