You crawl from my bed like a snake And put on a face by the door Grabbed a bite to eat from your way from the room And dropped a cup of mud on the floor Said I’m sorry I have to leave you now And you never gave a reason why She’d hit the streets for a better loving man And she thought I would break down and die Chorus Oh circuit breaker , it’s so plain to see You’re just a sweet heartacher Ain’t no way that you’re gonna break me I called on my friends on my way down town Hoping they’d seen you that day They knew your game and said I had it coming So if they knew they weren’t gonna say My mind was hazy as I left the room My head was going up and down Had she really left me for a cool calm jerk Or looking for pay for a pound Chorus Oh circuit breaker , it’s so plain to see You’re just a sweet heartacher Ain’t no way that you’re gonna break me My mind was hazy as I left the room My head was going up and down Had she really left me for a cool calm jerk Or looking for pay for a pound She said I’m sorry but I have to leave you now But she’d never gave the reason why She’d hit the streets for a better loving man Thought I would break down and die Chorus Oh circuit breaker , it’s so plain to see You’re just a sweet heartacher Ain’t no way that you’re gonna break me You’re just a circuit breaker (repeat)

Dirty Doris 03:55
There’s a big fat mama who lives round here And don’t you go putting her down If she hears you saying one bad word Then you ain’t gonna be around You know what she wants from me That ain’t how it’s gonna be Cos she’s so dirty (dirty for me) She’s so dirty (dirty for me) She wrote me a letter saying I love you babe And won’t you come round for tea Then I’ll tie you up on her big brass bed and whipped the balls of off me You know what you want from me That ain’t how it’s gonna be Cos you’re so dirty (dirty for me) you’re so dirty (dirty for me) you’re so dirty (dirty for me) You’d better run far away from me Between you and hell momma you’re the one I fear Dirty Doris , hey boys she’s gonna give you a fright You’d better make sure your doors are locked at night You know I ain’t no sinner baby I ain’t so easily led But what I caught you doing with the dog next door You know you must be sick in the head Well I know what you want to be But don’t go involving me Cos she’s so dirty (dirty you see) She’s so dirty (dirty for me) no one lives in our street no more no one comes to stay when they found out what you do in the mourge you know they all move away I know what you want to be Making my life misery Cos you’re so dirty (dirty for me) you’re so dirty (dirty for me) you’re so dirty (dirty for me) You’d better run far away from me Between you and hell momma you’re the one I fear Dirty Doris , hey boys she’s gonna give you a fright You’d better make sure your doors are locked at night

Heaven is just a mile away I’m a gambling man , a few words to say Fame and fortune ran out on me I’m a blind man , with eyes that see Chorus Then I met , Blind Destiny (Repeat) Heaven is just a mile away I’m a loving man , a few words to say Wine and women ran out on me I’m a blind man , with eyes that see Chorus Then I met , Blind Destiny (Repeat) Heaven is just a mile away I’m a fighting man , a few words to say Pride and honour ran out on me I’m a blind man , with eyes that see Chorus Then I met , Blind Destiny (Repeat)

Insanity 04:06
You say I’ve got no feelings You say that I don’t care You give me the kind of a feeling I wouldn’t wanna be there You know you make me wanna , pick up my guitar and play You know you make me wanna , be right on my way There’s a man out in the hall Telling us to turn it down But don’t he know i’m down And that I’m going down To the town to try and make it Gonna spend all of my wages Gonna turn back my life’s pages Gonna lose my mind by stages There’s a doctor in the room Says I look just like a ghost Gonna do just what he says Gonna send my brain by post

Pastel shades are fading in the darkness of the night Wolfman uses forest like an eagle uses flight Centuries of changes , hasn’t tamed his twisted will Wolfman grinning slyly as he moves in for the kill Chorus Waiting for the silver bullet The death that never comes Waiting for the silver bullet Released from everlasting light Legend has him painted as a man with little choice Half man and half wolf with a howl for a voice Even though he’d like to , he knows he’ll never die Poor tormented being with an everlasting sigh Chorus Waiting for the silver bullet The death that never comes Waiting for the silver bullet Released from everlasting light (repeat) Pastel shades are fading to the darkness of the night Wolfman uses forest like an eagle uses flight Centuries of changes , haven’t tamed his twisted will Wolfman grinning slyly as he moves in for the kill Chorus Waiting for the silver bullet The death that never comes Waiting for the silver bullet Released from everlasting light

Open your eyes and see what we’re feeling Open your mind and read our hearts Realise the company you’re keeping You’re off the tracks – gonna leave you behind It’s in the stars, don’t mess with religion If God exists then he’s out of his mind Don’t be a fool, gotta watch what you’re thinking What’s going on is gonna drive you insane This is a world with no chance for Tomorrow The time will come when we all have to pay For the beliefs, problems and sorrow You’re in the queue now wait for your turn Open your eyes and see what we’re feeling If God exists then he’s out of his mind We’re in a world with no chance for tomorrow We’re off the tracks, gonna drive you insane

There’s a man who thinks that power rules the world And he has seen to it that it that he has got it all So he convinces all his generals that he’s right Then when they see it they can set the world alight Chorus Fire In my heart There’s a fire in my heart (repeat) And all the people here are living on their nerves And central Europe is the back drop for their play So they’re recruiting all the actors to the stage Geiger counters push the needles of the gauge Chorus Fire In my heart There’s a fire in my heart (repeat)

Infantrycide 03:28
Living in a world of conflict and violence The human life only takes second place The way I see it, the way things are going That’s the way that it’s going to stay Nobody told them they could use us in this way Nobody told them they could risk our lives this way Oh no Oh no , don’t kill the world They leave us with lies, to poison our minds Prepare us to meet our fate Can’t you see they’re living a dream And we’re going to pay Nobody told them they could use our lives this way Nobody told them they could use our lives this way Oh no Oh no , don’t kill the world Nobody told them they could use our lives this way Nobody told them they could risk our lives this way Oh no Oh no , don’t kill the world (Repeat)

All around there’s a feeling in the air I look around and I see there’s no one there It’s the kind of a feeling makes you feel you ought to care You know there’s someone who will dare Don’t throw your life away Too many people’s gone before Don’t throw your life away Too many people’s gone before You know that sometimes people let you down It doesn’t mean that the world stops turning round You’ve got to look for a meaning – don’t just turn in blind despair You know there’s someone who will care Don’t throw your life away Too many people’s gone before Don’t throw your life away Too many people’s gone before Don’t throw your life away Too many people’s gone before Don’t throw your life away Too many people’s gone before All around there’s a movement in the air I look around and see there’s someone there I know it’s not an illusion, I could see they’re really there You know there’s someone who will dare Don’t throw your life away Too many peoples’ gone before Don’t throw your life away Too many people’s gone before

Stay 04:17
I’m writing this letter , to tell you the way that I feel Don’t misunderstand me , we said our goodbyes that’s agreed But when It comes to the night and I’m holding you tight in my dreams I call out your name but it’s always in vain so it seems Chorus Stay Stay for a while Only the memories hurt when you smile Why Why did you go Only the memories are asking to know Your behaviour was restless because you were young and naive I never considered that one day you’d get up and leave There’s a place set aside in my heart I can’t hide that’s a fact I know that I care and I’ll always be there , don’t look back Chorus Stay Stay for a while Only the memories hurt when you smile Why Why did you go Only the memories are asking to know (repeat) I’m writing this letter , to tell you the way that I feel Don’t misunderstand me , we said our goodbyes that’s agreed But when It comes to the night and I’m holding you tight in my dreams I call out your name but it’s always in vain so it seems Chorus Stay Stay for a while Only the memories hurt when you smile Why Why did you go Only the memories are asking to know

Tonight I’ll tell you all the things I think you ought to know I’ve been running far too long like a dog without a home Hear me calling in the night, I’m calling out to you I’ve been down to the heartbreak zone, tell me have you been there too? I’m coming down to the heartbreak zone I’m coming down to the heartbreak zone Coming down now, coming down to the heartbreak zone And as another day begins, I’m stronger in the morning light Things get changed and rearranged (especially in the dead of night) Make a stand, just demand, show me that you’re really strong Rescue me from the heartbreak zone – maybe I’ve been there too long I’m coming down to the heartbreak zone I’m coming down to the heartbreak zone Coming down now, coming down to the heartbreak zone I’m coming down to the heartbreak zone I’m coming down to the heartbreak zone Coming down now, coming down to the heartbreak zone

You’ve kept the memories through the years Of lonely nights and bitter tears The people knelt as you rode by You smiled and threw your head up high Now it seems you gave up the fight What was wrong, never is right Now it seems you gave up the fight What was wrong, never is right Commited sins against the earth Your only crime was one of birth You paid a high price for your words Inherited a family curse Now it seems you gave up the fight What was wrong, never is right Now it seems you gave up the fight What was wrong, never is right Now it seems you gave up the fight What was wrong, never is right Now it seems you gave up the fight What was wrong, never is right
