And I should be feeling something
But there's nothing at all
Oh be still, my heart is pumping
And I'm starting to drawl
Oh please me
Looks like I've been in a brawl
I'm going out in a blaze of gory
CHORUS
And your eyes
They're like something from the movies
And your smile
So I smiled back and kept on moving
And I couldn't choose the weapon
I couldn't think of a time
These big shoes are too big to step on
I'm too small for this crime
Oh please me
This end is no damn fault of mine
I'm going out in a blaze of gory
CHORUS
I've been told something that is nasty
And it stuck in my throat
Now you've started to look so crusty
Or is it something I smoked?
Oh please me
These are the last damn words I wrote
I'm going out in a blaze of gory
CHORUS

Open sail
There's a new future for certain
Certain fail
You were an important person
A guiding light
But I saw you let it go
Talking trite
So were you ever in the know?
CHORUS
Its a sad day when our heroes let us down
When there's no-one to look up to left around
I collapsed
In a pool of sweat and bluster
A synapse
My nerve ends have me flustered
Standing tall
You had a chance at everything
What a fall
I'm not the only one that's falling
CHORUS
And the last remaining hope for mankind's drowned
Its a sad day when our heroes let us down

Common Thread

|
|||
|
All through my adult days I've not held on to anything
Guess I've got my strange ways
I've found a fault in everything
And I'm sorry it has happened again
CHORUS
You can sense there's a common thread
She said
You used to fill me with joy
I was sat at the window gazing
Another life to destroy
I find a fault in everything
And I'm sorry it has happened again
CHORUS

Listen to your Lies
03:36
|
|||
|
You are one in a million
But that's no thing to boast
The horns proclaim my brilliance
But I proclaim it the most
CHORUS
I don't want to stick around with you
I'm inclined to reach out for the skies
All the time we wasted as the world went and flew by
[Its painful but its true]
I don't want to hear more words from you
I don't want to listen to your lies
All the time we wasted as the world went and flew by
[I'm sure I'm over you]
Guess I'm really an accident
A germ against the swarm
Get your protective clothing and
Then shelter from the storm
CHORUS

The Stinger Vs Aphrodite
05:24
|
|||
|
The Stinger was a hero renowned
A poster boy that stings like a bee
Defeating evil wherever it stands
Crippling the criminal fraternity
No villain could cope with his power
No hoodlum could cope with his sting
But whatever super powers you have
You cannot counter everything
Aphrodite was a beauty to behold
With powers for world domination
She challenged Stinger - Good vs bad
A face-off to grip the nation
When the day arrived they stood face to face
He tried to thwart her with his sting
But with a single gaze from her eyes
Stinger's body started tingling
CHORUS
And Stinger knew he was letting the world down
As he felt a gradual loosening of his gown
The beauty of Aphrodite
Turned the good of day to the dark of night
And he knew that he was in love
She needed no punch or super strike
She just maintained her sexual stance
She was defeating Stinger with just a simple smile
She could tell from the bulge forming in his pants
He fell to the floor - the nation gasped
The Stinger defeated and for once tamed
She held him tight and he felt her breath
A fiery passion inside inflamed
CHORUS
We have no hero to save us
We have no hope in the world
Love can win but so often destroys
As with this story that I have told
Villainy has won the day
As for the Stinger and Aphrodite
Men are often undone by lust
When she won his heart and she won the fight
CHORUS

Metaphor
03:33
|
|||
|
Its all homemade
Voluntarily flayed
I'm on the streets again
Still feeling full up
But the fool won't shut up
I'm on my feet again
CHORUS1
This is a metaphor
That I've not used before
My jaw stuck to the floor
Who will pick me up and make me sane?
I've run out of supplies
I've got blood in my eyes
I'm calling shots again
What was that name?
I screamed you never came
I'm asking who, what, when?
CHORUS2
I am an open book
If you care take a look
My skin hangs from a hook
Skinned alive a naked truth displayed
We have all aged
My life feeling staged
Can you applaud again?
I'm dodging the muck
That the audience chuck
I am despised again
CHORUS 1

Forgotten Days
04:21
|
|||
|
When you stare with those sparkling eyes
What kind of beast do you see?
I've spent years to construct my life
I've built monstrosity
I've no huge time left
So this small prose you find
Its the few words in my mind
CHORUS
If I'm still standing in another day
I'll spend another day with you
If I could rewind all the days that I've had
I'd spend forgotten days with you
Are you smiling? Is that half a smile?
I treasure that the most
I'm fading faster than my patience allows
I know when I'm just toast
The day is getting short
The night it seems so long
I'm sorry for this depressing song
CHORUS
When you stare with those sparkling eyes
There is sadness hid within
Do you sense that I am fading fast?
We lose before we win
Its a mystery
That I have failed to solve
It went and broke all my resolv
