1. BACK AT THE FUNNY FARM

Hammer pounding in my heart, I think it's gonna burst
Spring unwinding in my head, I don't know which is worse
I hear ya talkin' but the words are kinda strange
One of us is crazy and the other one's insane

[Chorus]
Stay calm, don't be alarmed, it's just a holiday
Back at the funny farm

Nothin' in this cold white room to help me recognise
I don't understand why everyone is in disguise
I gotta live right now, I can't stay here no more
But I'm afraid to try in case they've locked the door

[Chorus]

Can't find the windows but I gotta get outside
Can you help me stand it feels like both my legs have died
What was that injection, 'cos I think it's goin' wrong
I really like this jacket but the sleeves are much too long


2. SHINE

Hard time gettin' to ya babe
Double take, figure real rough trade
But you know I'm a real good lover
Can't judge a book by the cover
I know, and you know I know
Can't trust your intuition no more

Look good and I make you smile
Bet ya thought I wouldn't have no style
I'm gonna turn your head around
Won't know til you hit the ground
Gonna change the way you feel
I'm gonna roll ya like a wheel

[Chorus]
High life, I'm a fool for you
Low life, like to break the rules
First bite, you know I got a taste for you
I'm gonna make you shine

Be a switch to say the last
My beauty gonna meet your beast
Comin' over and shake your tree
My body gonna set you free
I know, and you know it's true
More over I'm comin' through

[Chorus]

It's over and I got you down
Gonna chase you round and round
Mess around with the way you feel
Gonna offer you a whole new deal
Gonna lay it on ya just for kicks
Down on ya like a ton of bricks

[Chorus]


3. DANCING ON YOUR GRAVE

I know you thought you're a real operator
But I don't know why
All you had was a bankroll, babe
And a glint in your eye
I'm a high-steppin' like an indian brave
I'm the one
Dancing on your grave

You know I'm a killer babe
Here's late news for you
You couldn't buy me with a million, babe
I'm too good for you
I'm know you think I'm real rough trade
Now I'm the one
Dancing on your grave

One time you was a real high-stepper
On the high trapeze
But you know you ran out of money
Wound up on your knees
I'm the one you never made
Now I'm the one
Dancing on your grave


4. ROCK IT

Rock'n'roll, save your soul
An' I got it
Give it to me, loud and free
Don't knock it
Let me hear 'til the end of time
It's the only way
Send shivers up and down your spine
You can't stop it

[Chorus]
I'm tellin' one more time
It ain't no crime
Rock it

It's the only way to fly
Gotta have it
Break thru gonna break you too
Better grab it
Let me hear it 'til the end of time
It's the only way
It'll stop you on a dime
Gotta have it

[Chorus]

Rock'n'roll music gonna stop the world
Can't lose it
It'll make your toenails curl
Can't defuse it
Let me hear it all the time
It's the only way
Gonna make ya feel alright
You can't excuse it

[Chorus]


5. ONE TRACK MIND

One arm bandit, one way ride
One arm bandit, one more try
One way ticket, one horse town
One way ticket, no way down

[Chorus]
One track mind, one track mind
One track mind, one track mind

Two lane highway, two hand car
Two lane highway, too damned far
Two faced women, two time guys
Two faced women, two black eyes

[Chorus]

Three time loser, break the law
Three time loser, two bit whore
Three ring circus, free form show
Three ring circus, way to go

[Chorus]


6. ANOTHER PERFECT DAY

Out to lunch, speak your piece
Good and drunk, back on the street
What you see is what you get
No matter what you say
No time for anything to take the pain away
You sure ain't the chosen few
You sure turned trick or two
You pulled the deuce this time
Another perfect day

Golden boy, take a chance
You're a clockwork toy, you're a dime a dance
The truth is only black and white
No shade of grey
It's easy answers babe
But it's the hell to pay
You know it's just the same for you
Ain't nothin' you can do
No chance to change it now
Another perfect day

Total war, blow your stack
Say no more, you know you can't go back
You're acting dumb babe, you don't know
The places you can go
You know you tell the truth in a different way
No court of law would find for you
No matter what you do
Could be the perfect crime
Another perfect day


7. MARCHING OFF TO WAR

Another battle's over, it's a million soldiers
Never rise again, we lost a million friends
Don't try to understand, if you weren't there
You felt different then, marching off to war

[Chorus]
Show no quarter, delight in slaughter
Up for your last long ride, maybe God's on the other
Side

Don't need no vindication, fight for the nation
You know you're going to hell, but you wear it well
You'll never understand if you weren't there
You felt different then, marching off to war

[Chorus]


8. I GOT MINE

Here's the story, there's only me
No other place for you to be
It's only you babe, it's only you
I can't believe the things you do
Right now, right here
Ain't gonna let you disappear
Right now, this time, you got yours and I got mine

Come on baby, go back to start
I got your picture in my heart
It's only me babe, it's only me
Refuse, disposal, refugee
Rock'n'Roll you just might be my new career
Rock'n'Roll you just might be my new career

Come on baby, come on with me
You got me fallin out my tree
Be my lover, the number one
Be my friend but don't be gone
Nobody gonna interfere


9. TALES OF GLORY

I can't believe the tales you tell me
I ain't buyin' the stuff you sell me
Hey baby, I'm tellin' ya what
You think I'm sold, baby I'm not
You tell me, tales of glory
But I know, whoa babe, it's the same old story

You think I'm gonna fall for you
You reckon that I'm goin' right thru
But I ain't no adolescent
I'm just gonna keep your guessing
You ain't gonna stitch me up
You'll find that I'm real bad luck
I'm gonna leave you babe
But think of the money you'll save
You tell me, tales of glory
But I know whoa babe it's the same old story

Leave me out, leave me out
Sick and tired without a doubt
Get me out, get me out
Get me out of here

Endlessly, endlessly
You mouth won't set me free
Endlessly, endlessly
Rabbit in my ear


10. DIE YOU BASTARD

You can smell the danger, watch your step
See the frienly stranger stretch your neck
Keep them in the dark, now, it's alright
You know they only come out at night

[Chorus]
Your shadows alive, it breathes at your side
Got no place to hide, be with you 'til the day you die

You can hear the rumors, shut your mouth
Deal with the misfits, wipe 'em out
Search in all the bedrooms, use your head
Listen to your conscience, wake the dead

[Chorus]

Mother kiss a vampire, shut the door
Rats in all the rooms, babe, hit the floor
I think it's a gamble, but what's your sign
Upway at the downside, stay in line


BONUSTRACK (RE-ISSUE 1991)

11. TURN YOU ROUND AGAIN

Nobody promised you it would be easy, not even fair,
But a lot of people said 'Lean on me', and they weren't There
If it's any consolation, they're all the same,
And if you lose your head, you lose the game,
And it's all, an uphill run, you know it ain't much fun,
You know we're all the same, Turn You Round Again.
Everyone said, 'Come over here and be like me',

I didn't want to know, ain't no place to be,
If it's any consolation, you're all the same,
But it's a different face, with a different name,
But it's all, an uphill run, you know it ain't much fun,
You know we're all the same, Turn You Round Again.
I'm gonna tell you something, you must believe,

I've got a hat full of jokes, waiting up my sleeve,
Forget cancellations, I know the game,
It's a different face, but the name's the same,
And it's all, an uphill run, you know it ain't much fun,
And I'll Turn You Round Again, again.

13. DON'T NEED RELIGION

Don't need no blind belief
Don't need no comic relief
Don't need to see the scars
Don't need Jesus Christ Superstar
Don't need no Sunday Television
Bet your life you don't need religion

Don't need no time for prayer
Don't save no knee-pads for me up there
If your head's alright, ya don't need binoculars to see the light
Ya don't need no miracle vision
Bet ya life etc.

I don't need no Santa Claus
Don't believe in fairies no more
Don't need to go to confession

Don't need no exorcism
Bet ya life etc.

14. HEART OF STONE (LIVE)

You seem to think that it's a game
I wish I could recall your name
You tell me how I should behave
Sling your hook I ain't your slave

Leave me alone
Get off the phone
I've got a heart of stone

You play emotional roulette
I ain't seen no winners yet
You know you're dancing in the dark
Stay away, I ain't your mark

Leave me alone
Get off the phone
I've got a heart of stone

In every game you hold the ace
But you ain't even in my race
You'll never realise just why
It's just been hello goodbye

Leave me alone
Get off the phone
I've got a heart of stone


15. SHOOT YOU IN THE BACK (LIVE)

Western movies!

The riders ride, into the night,
Into the West, to see who's gun's the best,
They're all fools, to live by rules,

He's gonna Shoot You In The Back

The horseman turns, the wound that burns,
The awful pain, the crimson rain,
Got realise, before he dies,
The rider wearing black,
You know he's gonna Shoot You In The Back

It's suicide, to live on pride,
You claim you own, your skin your bone,
Your own life, cuts you like a knife,
The rider wearing black,
He's gonna Shoot You In The Back

In the Western movies!

He rides a road
That don't have no end
An open highway
Without any bends
Tramp and his stallion
Alone in a dream
Proud in his colours

On Iron Horse he gladly dies
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life

He lives his life
He's living it fast
Don't try to hide
When the dice have been cast
He rides a whirlwind
That cuts to the bone
Wasted forever
Ferociously stoned

On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he gladly dies
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life

One day, one day
They'll go for the sun
Forever they'll fly
On the eternal run
Wasted forever
On speed, bikes and booze
Yeah, us and the brothers
We're all born to loose

On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he gladly dies
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life

Ya told me that ya wanted it

Turned out to be the facts babe
You know what you can do
You can go to hell, you can go to hell
Goodbye for you

Wrapped around your little finger
Under you thumb too
You know that I'm a singer

Lotta things I gotta do

Obviously crazy


23. AMERICA (LIVE)

America, hot as hell, hysterical, cast your spell
The endless road, another night to bend your mind
White line fever, I think that state patrol car's still behind

America, cold as death, up to Canada, Crystal Meth
Another West Coast turnaround and back to start
Yakima Reservation, just another broken heart

America, liked it fine, Sinsemilla, Ripple Wine
Another Schoolgirl with her daddy's Pontiac
Another killer from the wrong side of the tracks

America, fast cars
America, the girls, the bars
America, don't make no fuss
America, get on the bus

Stepping out, I'm leaving here,
No use crying, crying in my beer,
Enough's enough, believe it's true,
Bite The Bullet, I'm leaving you

Said goodbye, I left a note,
But I don't remember, just what I wrote,
The same old words, to say we're through,
Bite The Bullet, I'm leaving you

So that's the way it always ends,
Get sympathy from all your friends,
Seems there's nothing, nothing else to do,
Bite The Bullet, I'm leaving you


29. THE CHASE IS BETTER THAN THE CATCH (LIVE)

You know I'm bad, the times I've had,
I've got a bad reputation,
I don't care, I get my share,
Don't feel no deprivation,
The more I get the better it is,
I like it fine, like a little whizz,
Treat 'em like ladies, that's a fact,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch

Silver tounged devil, demon lech,
You know just what I'm doing,
I like a little innocent bitch,
You know I ain't just screwing,
I love you baby, love you too much,
I like it fine, I feel your touch,
But your appearance don't hold no class,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch

A little beauty, I love you madly,
Come on home with me,
I know you're hot, I know what you've got,
You know I want to shake your tree,
Come on honey, touch me right there,
Come on honey, don't you get scared,
Come on honey, let me get you in the sack,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch

All right! Let me hear ya!
I can't hear ya!
