New Day, New Life 06:07
lyrics

I expected a little bit more I never thought that it would end so fast Spent years perfecting myself Spent years admiring and honing my craft Believe me, I'm selfish I reached out for where wealth is I don't remember the time I just remembered as the curtain falls The voices screaming my name And then just screaming at the crumbling walls Believe me, I was helping But I was stalled by the Champagne The air it stifled the throat And I crawled under the splintered stage As my consciousness left I was drifting into passive rage Believe me, I'm selfish But thank goodness no-one else is I expected a little bit more I never thought that it would end so fast I deserved so much more Did I tell you about my troubled past? Believe me, I'm selfish I reached out for where wealth is Introducing myself Ladies and Gentleman this is a tomb I'm muttering cynically Please be careful as you leave the room Believe me, I'm selfish But thank goodness no-one else is New day, new life Its a new day, its a new life

Wasted Heroes 04:13
lyrics

As the sunset falls the same day ends We'll see the same again I'm biting at my nails and fighting friends Loose ends Yesterday I saw another die He didn't even try Am I the only one that still pretends? Depends CHORUS I'm trying to just forget my life Or put a hold on life I'm minded to forget my life What a waste of life [Wasted heroes - wasted life] The other day I thought about a noose But what does that prove? Lucky that I've got the happy juice Big news As the sunset falls the same day ends Because they all just blend Someone said the world will start again But when? CHORUS

CHORUS We have nothing to offer at all All that remains are stories that never saw the light of day And these stomach pains! I've self pity as I fade out my own way CHORUS As our flesh turns our features that set us above the rest........ The stomach it churns We are creatures decaying in our nest CHORUS

No More Days of Love 03:49
lyrics
buy track
The more I'm needing, the more its not there I've prayed to God above The more I reach out for one of the fair There are no more days of love Scores of people intent to survive But is survival enough? What we are left with to restart new life There are no more days of love CHORUS Did I ever dream of ringing bells? Did I ever dream enough? And am I coughing my last cough? Count the days as another one falls Inevitable but tough There is no new blood to pump from these pores There are no more days of love "Where are the women"? we shout out in vain Is survival a need enough? This could be the end of the human chain There are no more days of love CHORUS

There Was a Time 04:16
lyrics

I should have listened to my will My instincts threw me down the hill CHORUS1 There was a time when it was all in my hands The trembling fans in awe There was a time when I should have taken a stance That was really my chance but no more I'm not one to often regret But I've misgivings I can't forget CHORUS2 There was a time when I threw it away Saved it for another day that's gone There was a time when I'd do what I preach But that is out of my reach so move on So gather around I was a star That glittered just from far too far away CHORUS 1 & 2

Call To Arms 03:20

Its my time to reflect and think How incredibly low I sink Its no wonder that I turned to the drink CHORUS Raid the town, see what's found Bring the food and water Mind me whilst I stay here for some time to reflect People down, war around This is a bloody slaughter You do all that you have to when its time to collect "The Lords my shepherd" like it says in the Psalms Resource is limited I call to arms Raid the houses, raid the shops and farms CHORUS Disperse anyone that's in your way Its all survival, live another day We need what we need come what may CHORUS

Only in my Wildest Dreams 04:00
lyrics
buy track
At a time when I'd given up and trashed any hope I saw an angel shining vibrant through the dust and the smoke Its no joke CHORUS1 I'm jumping - my heart started pumping - this truly is something Only in my wildest dream She's running towards me - My legs have gone wobbly Only in my wildest dream The smile when the eyes meet - A beauty so complete Only in my wildest dream She ignores all my faults, disregards how I look Since the world went and ended I've been down on my luck What a schmuck CHORUS2 I'll endeavour to keep her forever - till death or whatever Only in my wildest dream I can sense I'm new man - to be her true champion Only in my wildest dream Let's dance through pollution - we're new evolution Only in my wildest dream CHORUS 1 & 2

The Big I Am 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Hit me with a wham I'm a living sham Couldn't give a damn I've been giving it the big 'I am' I'm not really lewd I'm partly a prude Everything poo poo'd I've been faking it since time began What do you mean I'm faced with oblivion? I'm making it up as I go along? I'm a brazen man An all over tan Hush I've got a plan I've been giving it the big 'I am' Think I lost my sight What an awful plight I'm parasite I've been faking it since I began What do you mean I'm faced with oblivion? I'm making it up as I go along I'm virtually just a regular citizen But beating my chest like an insane King Kong All I can think is all I can offer All that I faked is hidden beneath the skin All that I say is gibberish after though Throw me a line - look what the dogs have caught again All that you asked is all I could make up quick Think you may pass - I've been giving it the big 'I am'

Lift up your arms we're a new nation Be patient for the future is strong I stand before you as messiah Though times have been dire they will improve through song CHORUS The future starts as guitars scream Just follow and join me in my dream I turn the dial and increase the volume And I'll assume that your voice will raise This is our calling and our anthem I can't fathom why you wouldn't praise CHORUS

Looking Out Over You All 04:31
lyrics
buy track
I've really got nothing left to say All I had is taken away Nail me up, remind you that I'm there More fitting than the quick electric chair The beauty of the rise to the downfall But I'm still looking out over you all I will return come what may As life it drifts slowly away Build me up then slowly cast me out That's really what this life is all about The beauty of the rise to the downfall But I'm still looking out over you all You can't kill my legacy or steal my love I'll contemplate her beauty from above The cruelty of the rise to the downfall But I'm still looking out over you all
