Shellshock

[Brabbs / Brabbs / Ward]

Wakey, wakey...
Hated you for far too long, you're just so damn polite
You've been screaming , shouting all night long
That you we've gotta get wrecked tonight...
I don't know when to stop... I just can't get enough...Shellshock!
It's getting late in the evening, I can't wait to turn the lights out...
Come down from the ceiling, don't stop just burn me out...
I don't know when to stop, I just can't get enough...Shellshock!
Some of the things you do... I just don't understand
But those strange things that you do... must mean I'm going mad
I don't know when to stop... I just can't get enough...Shellshock!
Those strange things that you give to me you give me...Shellshock!

Struck By Lightning

[Brabbs / Brabbs / Ward]

All I got for Christmas... was a loaded gun,
That's alright if you wanna shoot someone, but I've only got one bullet...
I'm bored of this, and tired of that, I got to find someone I can shoot at...
I ain't got the guts to do it, she's ugly, stupid, drunk and almost blind,
I don't think that she would really mind, if I described her as unfit for mankind,
Struck by lightning , she's up there from midnight to dawn, waiting for a storm,
Struck by lightning, she's up there from midnight to dawn, waiting for a storm,,
Well she wants lightning, and she got some, in 22 years she never had no fun,
There ain't nothing to it, I can hear her through the ceiling,
I can hear the neighbors cheering, they must have put her up to it,
She's ugly, she's stupid, drunk and almost blind,
I don't think that she would really mind, if I described her as unfit for mankind,
Struck by lightning, she's up there from midnight to dawn waiting for a storm,
Struck by lightning, she's up there from midnight to dawn waiting for a storm,
All I got for Christmas... was a loaded gun,
That's alright if you wanna shoot someone, but I've only got one bullet,
I'm bored of this and tired of that, I got to find someone I can shoot at,
I ain't got the guts to do it, she's ugly, stupid, drunk and almost blind,
I don't think that she would really mind, if I described her as unfit for mankind,
Struck by lightning , she's up there from midnight to dawn, waiting for a storm,
Struck by lightning, she's up there from midnight to dawn, waiting for a storm.

Run Like Hell

[Brabbs / Brabbs / Ward]

Yeah!!! Roll me over and let me see I wanna watch them suffer all these people lookin' down at me
It really make me shudder, they wont explain how their face doesn't look quite the same
Just who is to blame? We'll be hiding just before they take aim
Run Like Hell, they're comin' at me again Run Like Hell. They're lookin' at me again Run Like Hell
Be a hero, you romantic fool. What makes you so special?
Show off your medal you brought back from school a worthless piece of metal
They wont explain how their face doesn't look quite the same
Just who is to blame? We'll be hiding just before they take aim
Run Like Hell, they're comin' at me again Run Like Hell. They're lookin' at me again Run Like Hell
Run Run Run Run Run Run
Cross the boarder to the land of the free you still think it's clever? to let them keep on torturing me
I just hope I never. See you alone When you're walkin' the streets on your own, your own
Just leave me alone You'll be dead long before you get home
Run Like Hell, they're comin' at me again Run Like Hell. They're lookin' at me again Run Like Hell
Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Like Hell Run Run Run Run Run Run

Blood Guts And Beer

[Brabbs / Brabbs / Ward]

Blood, Guts and Beer...I got a friend real close to me
With the biggest plane you've ever seen and he likes to use it quite a lot
Just look around and you will see why he isn't scared to me
Just tell him when to stop. What's inside me? Blood, Guts and Beer
If you wonder why he don't look pleased he just caught that new disease
Said "she's coming back to me" but now she's not Well she finally says to me
Well we'll just have to see how long it takes for skin to rot
What's inside me? Blood, Guts and Beer, Blood, Guts and Beer, Blood, Guts and Beer
When he broke down in tears I just couldn't believe my ears I could've used a mirage
I gotta get out, you gotta get out...all right I gotta get out, you gotta get out...tonight
What's inside me? Blood, Guts and Beer, Blood, Guts and Beer, Blood, Guts and Beer
What's inside me? Blood, Guts and Beer, Blood, Guts and Beer, Blood, Guts and Beer

That's What Dreams Are Made Of

[Brabbs / Brabbs / Ward]

Love is like dragging your balls across barbed wire
She rehearses every day from a hang glider she had a wrestling bout
With a trope of local sea scouts got them all in a pool of mud
All the time wearing boxing gloves you can hear them crying from the third floor above
That's what dreams are made of...
She wears pit boots, woodbines and loves being dirty
Her bank manager plays dog says wood and don't hurt me
You've seen her magazines how the hell does she keep her teeth clean
Doing something that's loosely termed love all the time wearing boxing gloves
She's got the cheek to say she's on a mission from God
That's what dreams are made of...
You've seen her magazines how the hell does she keep her teeth clean
Doing something that's loosely termed love all the time wearing boxing gloves
She's got the cheek to say she's on a mission from God
That's what dreams are made of...

Turn Your Head Around

[Brabbs / Brabbs / Ward]

I can really safely say I'm glad you're still alive,
One thing they can't take away is your will to survive,
I don't, I won't believe it, I don't, I won't believe it,
They say I could not be found, this man is better off dead,
They want to turn your head around, turn your head around, turn your head around, turn your head around,
How can they leave you lying there hiding from the light,
They don't know and they couldn't care they'll be dead by tonight,
I don't, I won't believe it, I don't, I won't believe it,
They say I could not be found, this man is better off dead,
They want to turn your head around,
Turn your head around, turn your head around, turn your head around,
Someone's made a big mistake smiling through the tears,
Just how long will this thing take, I'll be, I'll be coming still,
I don't, I won't believe it, I don't, I won't believe it,
They say I could not be found, this man is better off dead, they want to turn your head around,
Turn your head around, turn your head around, turn your head around.

Heavy Artillery

[Brabbs / Brabbs / Ward]

Yeah It's breaking out all over the world and like flies they're dropping
Invading here would be absurd but once they start there's no stopping
There's no use holding your head in your hands it won't go away
Soon you'll wake up and you'll be a man that's what the handbook says these are your orders, you must obey
Heavy Artillery, Heavy Artillery, Heavy Artillery
Too bad, too bad they got what they wanted without even trying
I'm so glad, so glad the signals got busted without someone dying
There's no use holding your head in your hands it won't go away
Soon you'll wake up and you'll be a man that's what the handbook says, these are your orders, you must obey
It's breaking out all over the world and like flies they're dropping
Invading here would be absurd but once they start there's no stopping
There's no use holding your head in your hands it won't go away
Soon you'll wake up and you'll be a man that's what the handbook says these are your orders, you must obey
Heavy Artillery, Heavy Artillery, Heavy Artillery

Who Needs Love Songs

[Brabbs / Brabbs / Ward]

I'm putting my heart and soul into a song and I know that it won't belong
A sound real clever, to numb someone to listen up to what I've done
I tried and tried but it's still the same it's still the illusion, the same old game
No matter what I do, it still comes back to you
Do you think I'm stupid or what? Last night someone broke my heart and it kicked me in the guts
Who needs love songs? Who needs love songs? Who needs love songs? I do!
I'm putting my heart and soul into a song and I know that it wont belong
A sound real clever, to numb someone to listen up to what I've done
I tried and tried but it's still the same it's still the illusion, the same old game
No matter what I do, it still comes back to you
Do you think I'm stupid or what?
Last night someone broke my heart and it put me in the ruts
Who needs love songs? Who needs love songs? Who needs love songs? Who needs love songs?
Who needs love songs? Who needs love songs? I do!

Filth Hounds Of Hades

[Brabbs / Brabbs / Ward]

They come out of the woodwork, every time that we're around,
When we play some crumbling ruin, they help us to bring it down,
They're the ones with their hands up, the ones that never let us go,
They'd rather sell their mothers, than miss the gig in Glasgow.
They'll be there Shane, Mick and Flash out there somewhere,
They'll be there Shane, Mick and Flash out there somewhere, where are the Filth Hounds.
They do all the hard work for us, all we do is stand up here,
They know all the words and every chorus, shout them out loud clear,
Out there somewhere, are some people we'll soon get to know,
Some more people who'll sell their mothers, than miss the gig in Glasgow.
They'll be there Shane, Mick and Flash out there somewhere,
They'll be there Shane, Mick and Flash out there somewhere, where are the Filth Hounds,
Where are the Filth Hounds, Where are the Filth Hounds...

(He Fell In Love With A) Stormtrooper

[Brabbs / Brabbs / Ward]

Why does everybody laugh? They just won't understand
When she walks down the street why they're tearing apart a poor broken heart
She's the nicest woman you could meet, she don't know what he's supposed to be fighting for
She don't know that it's the last thing he'll say to this world
He fell in love with a stormtrooper, He fell in love with a stormtrooper,
He fell in love with a stormtrooper, He fell in love with a stormtrooper
He's always spewing his guts out, he knows it won't stop. He always gets the bottle but not the last drop
He gets out of the sun and the enemy lines but no one knows what he does between the landmines
He don't know what he's supposed to be fighting for
He don't know that it's the last thing he'll say to this world you but you
He fell in love with a stormtrooper, He fell in love with a stormtrooper,
He fell in love with a stormtrooper, He fell in love with a stormtrooper... Yes he did, yes he did
Why does everybody laugh? They just won't understand
When she walks down the street why they're tearing apart a poor broken heart
She's the nicest woman you could meet, she don't know what he's supposed to be fighting for
She don't know that it's the last thing he'll say to this world
He fell in love with a stormtrooper, He fell in love with a stormtrooper,
He fell in love with a stormtrooper, He fell in love with a stormtrooper
