Stone cold crazy
Killing time

diamond head's song

i gotta see you moving fast  
see you come my way  
see the dreams, i hope they last  
never fade away.  
 
gotta see the lights above  
make it loud tonight  
gotta set it all a-fire  
set it all a-light  
 
see the flashing lights  
hear the thunder roar  
i am gonna set you all a-light  
gotta make it man  
i ain't got a choice  
gotta fill this hall tonight  
 
helpless  
helpless  
helpless  
helpless  
 
i don't what i'm gonna do  
maybe not tonight  
gotta set you all a-fire  
gotta treat you right.  
 
i can see the flashing lights  
lit before your love, ohh  
gotta hear the thunder roar  
coming from above.  
 
see the flashing lights  
hear the thunder roar  
i'm gonna set you all alight  
gotta make it man  
i ain't got no choice  
gotta fill this hall tonight  
 
helpless  
helpless  
helpless  
helpless  
 
i can see the stars  
i can see what's going on  
every night alone  
i sing my song just for fun.  
 
only time will tell  
if i'll make it myself someday  
this stage is mine  
music is my destiny.  
 
cannot squeeze the life from me!  
 
i can see the lights  
but i can see what's going on  
every night alone  
i sing my song just for fun.  
 
business in collapse  
some men don't like it so  
helpless maybe babe,  
but you can leave or join the show.  
 
cannot squeeze the life from me!

the small hours

holocaust's song

look out at the darkness,  
and you will see,  
just call my name and i'll be there.  
you cannot touch me,  
you would not dare,  
i am the chill that's in the air.  
 
and i try to get through to you  
in my own special way,  
as the barriers crumble,  
at the end of the day.  
 
dark rivers are flowing,  
back into the past,  
you are the fish for which i cast.  
 
and what of the future,  
what is to be,  
as the rivers flow into the sea.  
 
(chorus)  
 
do not take for granted,  
powers out there,  
don't step into the demon's lair.  
 
time is an illusion,  
rising from time,  
steep is the mountain which we climb.

the wait

killing joke's song

motives changing  
day to day  
the fire increases  
masks decay  
i look at the river  
white foam floats down  
the body's poisoned  
got to sit tight  
 
the wait  
the wait  
the wait  
the wait  
 
after awakening  
the silence grows  
the screams subside  
distortion shows  
mutant thoughts  
of bad mouthed news  
just another birth  
of distorted views  
 
the wait  
the wait  
the wait  
the wait

crash course in brain surgery

budgie's song

look inside and you will see  
the words are cutting deep inside my brain  
thunder burnin' quickly burning  
knife of words is driving me insane, insane yeah

he shows me how to neutralize the knife  
show to me in surgery  
the art of fighting words to conquer life, conquer life yeah

is driven from my heady mountain brain  
crash course in brain surgery  
has stopped the bloody knife of words again yeah, yeah, yeah

Stone cold crazy

queen's song

sleeping very soundly on a saturday morning i was dreaming i was al 
capone. 
rumor going round, gotta clear out of town, smelling like a dry fish bone. 
here come the law, gonna break down the door, carry me away once more. 
never, never, never want it anymore.  gotta get away from this stone cold 
floor. 
 
crazy, stone cold crazy, you know 
 
rainy afternoon, on a killer typhone, and it's a playing with my slide 
trombone. 
any more, anymore, can't take it anymore. 
gotta get away from this stone cold floor 
 
crazy, stone cold crazy 
 
walking down the street, shooting people that i meet, full loaded tommy 
gun. 
here come the deputy, try fuckin' gittin' me, gotta get up and run 
they got the sirens lose, i'm running out of juice.  they're gonna put me 
in a cell 
if i can't go to heaven, let me go to hell. 
 
crazy, stone cold crazy

Killing time

sweet savage's song

sound of gunfire comes through the night, 
killing and hatred, it's a terrible sight. 
reports come in of the heavy attack, 
message is seen, we're moving back. 
 
preparations are made for the journey back, 
it's a survival, supplies are packed. 
no more nights in this eternal hell, 
destination is simple, we move out. 
 
killing time-you left from the line. 
killing time-your turn to kill. 
killing time-what do you say? 
killing time-aaha, killing time. 
 
and he knew what he needed to keep us alive, 
no time for cowardice, kill and survive. 
like a killer kid with a switchblade knife, 
nasty word, he'll take your life. 
 
the silence is over, they attack again, 
killing and hatred drive me insane. 
reports come in of a heavy attack, 
message is seen, we're moving back. 
 
killing time-you left from the line. 
killing time-your turn to kill. 
killing time-what do you say? 
killing time-aaha, killing time. 
 
sound of gunfire comes through the night, 
killing and hatred, it's a terrible sight. 
reports come in of a heavy attack, 
message is seen, we're moving back. 
 
and he knew what he needed to keep us alive, 
no time for cowardice, kill and survive. 
like a killer kid with a switchblade knife, 
nasty word, he'll take your life. 
 
killing time-you left from the line. 
killing time-your turn to kill. 
killing time-what do you say? 
killing time-aaha, killing time.

Enter sandman (demo)
say your prayers little one
don't forget, my son
to include everyone

tuck you in, warm within
keep you free from sin
till the sandman he comes

sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight

exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

something's wrong, shut the light
heavy thoughts tonight
and they aren't of snow white

dreams of war, dreams of liars
dreams of dragon's fire
and of things that will bite

sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight

exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

now i lay me down to sleep
pray the lord my soul to keep
if i die before i wake
pray the lord my soul to take

hush little baby, don't say a word
and never mind that noise you heard
it's just the beast under your bed,
in your closet, in your head

exit light
enter night
grain of sand

exit light
enter night
take my hand
we're off to never never land

The unforgiven (demo)
new blood joins this earth
and quikly he's subdued
through constant pain disgrace
the young boy learns their rules

with time the child draws in
this whipping boy done wrong
deprived of all his thoughts
the young man struggles on and on he's known

a vow unto his own
that never from this day
his will they'll take away

what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been
what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never free
never me
so i dub thee unforgiven

they dedicate their lives
to running all of his
he tries to please them all
this bitter man he is
throughout his life the same
he's battled constantly
this fight he cannot win
a tired man they see no longer cares
the old man then prepares
to die regretfully
that old man here is me
what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been

what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never free
never me
so i dub the unforgiven

you labeled me
i'll label you
so i dub the unforgiven

Nothing else matters (demo)
so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words i don't just say
and nothing else matters

trust i seek and i find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but i know

couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

so close no matter how far
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but i know

never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words i don't just say

trust i seek and i find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and i know

so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
no nothing else matters

Wherever i may roam (demo)
...and the road becomes my bride
i have stripped of all but pride
so in her i do confide
and she keeps me satisfied
gives me all i need

...and with dust in throat i crave
only knowledge will i save
to the game you stay a slave
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will

but i'll take my time anywhere
free to speak my mind anywhere
and i'll redefine anywhere
anywhere i may roam
where i lay my head is home

...and the earth becomes my throne
i adapt to the unknown
under wandering stars i've grown
by myself but not alone
i ask no one

...and my ties are severed clean
the less i have the more i gain
off the beaten path i reign
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will

but i'll take my time anywhere
i'm free to speak my mind anywhere
and i'll never mind anywhere
anywhere i may roam
where i lay my head is home

but i'll take my time anywhere
free to speak my mind
and i'll take my find anywhere
anywhere i may roam
where i lay my head is home

carved upon my stone
my body lie, but still i roam
wherever i may roam

and i no longer care

i'm your dream, make you real
i'm your eyes when you must steal
i'm your pain when you can't feel
sad but true

i'm your truth, telling lies
i'm your reasoned alibis
i'm inside open your eyes
i'm you

One (demo)
i can't remember anything
can't tell if this is true or dream
deep down inside i feel to scream
this terrible silence stops me

now that the war is through with me
i'm waking up i can not see
that there is not much left of me
nothing is real but pain now

hold my breath as i wish for death
oh please god,wake me

back in the womb its much too real
in pumps life that i must feel
but can't look forward to reveal
look to the time when i'll live

fed through the tube that sticks in me
just like a wartime novelty
tied to machines that make me be
cut this life off from me

hold my breath as i wish for death
oh please god,wake me

now the world is gone i'm just one
oh god,help me hold my breath as i wish for death
oh please god help me

darkness imprisoning me
all that i see
absolute horror
i cannot live
i cannot die
body my holding cell

landmine has taken my sight
taken my speech
taken my hearing
taken my arms
taken my legs
taken my soul
left me with life in hell
