"Keep The Beat"
 
So why do you keep humming along now you find out you're no god
You can feel the poison in your blood
You won't notice the noise until it stops

'Cos you keep on keeping that beat alive
Weak lungs suck on any device
You can deal with it in your own time
After all it's only leisure

For too long you've been held down under a self inflicted spell
Your hands are shaking
Your legs are weak and you're out of breath
But You Keep on keeping that beat alive
Keep on keeping that beat alive

"Purple Haze"

Originally by Jimi Hendrix
 
Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things don’t seem the same
Actin’ funny but I don’t know why
’scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around
Don’t know if I’m comin’ up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whaterever it is, that girl put a spell on me

Help me
Help me
Oh I don’t know

Yeah!
Purple haze was all in my eyes
Don’t know if it’s day or night
You’ve got me blowin’, blowin’ my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?

Who knows?
Help me
Yeah
Come on now
Tell me
Tell me

"I Know What You Want"
 
Six fours make ninety eight
You're not gonna get it
I was told but I left it too late
You're not gonna get it
I changed all the numbers I left behind
You're not gonna get it
It was easy to change my stride - so what?

I know what you want but you're not gonna get it...

Sevens into fifty two
You're not gonna get it
I'll take fifty, you take two
You're not gonna get it
Don't look with those pleading eyes
You're not gonna get it
I might tell you - I might just lie - so what?

"Teabag"
 
Those piggy little eyes showed yesterday
Reminding me more of your stupid ways
Hopping along behind a hypocrite's smile
Offering a mouthful of teeth & snarls

But no-one cares - history's written
Just turn away...

There was blood in your eyes & your back was broke
Dutch courage turned tp splintered bone
Lying there waiting for the world to make sense
When all it had to offer was the kiss of death

I heard a little whisper but it died away
Ran it to the press but the ink ran dry
Broken back and bloody eyes
Dragged to the side of the road I left to die

Wasted smiles... Wasted eyes...

"Damage Is Done"
 
You said it, you meant it
Now it is too late to take it back
You can't leave it, you can't forget it
You planted the charge now dodge the flak...

You punched a hole in every thing I ever thought of you
The air is still, the line is dead
I look around but I can't see you

The damage is done...

"Spend Spend Spend"
 
All that effort, all that fuss
A mindless lesson, a mindless buzz
You could build a boat with energy wasted
And sail off into a hippie sunset
But no, let's just pretend
Take our shots and fall down dead
Wake up on the count of ten
With your hands in your pockets ready to spend

You could send a kiss ten thousand miles
And plant it on the smallest child
But why should that make sense to you
You're not trying to raise a smile - it's true

You don't know how to spend it...

Spend spend spend

"If I Tried"
 
If I tried to tell you there was
Only one way to change my mind
Would you laugh me down & tell me what I'm missing
And if I tried to say I'll make it my own way
Would you still meet me half way
Offer me the hand of friendship no misgivings

All you need and all you're dealt
From love to lust, greed to hate
Mud to dust, sand to glass to nothing

If I was to say
It's your decision I don't mind which path you take
It's up to you...
It's up to you to find your own direction

It's up to you...
It's up to you to find your own direction

"Hellbound"
 
What is your pleasure, sir.
What is your pleasure.

My father doesn't believe in fairy tales either.

The mind is a labyrinth, ladies and gentleman
A puzzle
For the powers of the brain are clearly visible
Its ways deceptively apparent
Its destination so unknown
Its secrets still secrets
Now, if we are honest,
It is the lure of the labyrinth that draws us to our chosen field.
To unlock those secrets.
Others that have been here before us have left us signs but we,
As explorers of the mind, must devote our lives and energies to going further.
To trail the unexplored corridors in the hope of finding ultimately
The final solution.
We have to see for we have to know.

"It's You"
 
I know I'm doing wrong
It makes sense to stop but I'll carry on
Pushing on towards an offered knife
I can see it coming but I've got no choice

It's you - a magnetic pull
There's no need to see me coming
I'm already fooled

Knit one, pearl one, hang one
Drawn one, quartered one
Torn one left behind...
