Whiskey, gin and brandy
With a glass, I’m pretty handy
I’m tryin’ to walk a straight line
On sour mash and cheap wine

So, join me for a drink, boys
We’re gonna make a big noise
So, don’t worry about tomorrow
Take it today
Forget about the check, we’ll get hell to pay

Have a drink on me
Yeah, have a drink on me
Yeah, have a drink on me
Have a drink on me

I’m dizzy, drunk and fighting
On tequila, white lightnin’
Yes, my glass is gettin’ shorter
On whiskey, ice and water

Yeah, so come on, have a good time
And get blinded out of your mind
So, don’t worry about tomorrow
Take it today
Forget about the check, we’ll get hell to pay

Have a drink on me
Yeah, have a drink on me
Yeah, have a drink on me
Have a drink on me tonight
Get stoned

Have a drink on me
Have a drink on me
Have a drink on me
Come on

Going another round
Gonna hit the ground
Take another swig
Have another drink
Gonna drink you dry
Gonna get me high
Come on, all the boys make a noise

Have a drink on me (Have a drink on me)
Have a drink on me (Have a drink on me)
Ah, have a drink on me (Have a drink on me)

Have a drink on me
Have a drink on me
Have a drink
On me

The Duellists - Iron Maiden

He threw down a glove you made the mistake
Of picking it up, now you’re gone
The choosing of guns or fighting with swords
The choice of weapons is done
He’ll tear you apart, as soon as you start
You know you don’t have a chance

Oh, oh, fight for the honor
Fight for the splendor
Fight for the pleasure
Oh, oh, fight for the honor
Fight for the splendor
Fight for your life

Ready to start, the duel begins
The best man wins in the end
A lunge and a feint, a parry too late
A cut to the chest and you’re down
Seeing the stain, then feeling the pain
Feeling the sweat on your brow

Oh, oh, fight for the honor
Fight for the splendor
Fight for the pleasure
Oh, oh, fight for the honor
Fight for the splendor
Fight for your life

The fighting resumes, a silence looms
The swordsmen move against each other
A cut and a thrust, a parry, a blow
A stab to the heart and you’re down
The Angel of Death hears your last breath
Meanwhile, the Reaper looks on

Oh, oh, fought for the honor
Fought for the splendor
Fought for the pleasure
Oh, oh, fought for the honor
Fought for the splendor
Fought to the death

My mama Nature said
“It’s murder what you’ve done”
I sent you forth my brightest world
Now it’s nearly gone

Birds and bees been telling me
You can’t see the forest for the trees
You cover up your lies with sympathies
And I got no solutions to your persecution

Mama Nature said
“Can’t believe it’s true”
Ooh, I gave you life and food for thought
Look what did you do

You’re killing my rivers
Drowning my baby streams
Day by day by day by day by day, I hear them screams
I’m so disillusioned, so disillusioned

Mama Nature said
“You’re guilty of this crime”
Now it’s not just a matter of fact
But just a matter of time

Cruel will be the vengeance
So savage is the deed that’s done
And I’ve got no solutions to your own pollutions
Oh, you’re so filthy, deep down you’re dirty too

Go get her, boy!

Nothing here for me today
Garbaggio from the men in grey
Don’t do this
You can’t do that
What’s the point
What’s the matter, anyway
Fat cat’s licking cream
Dirty business
Hard and mean
You’ve got narrow eyes and hungry days
There’s got to be a better way

Something here about my face
Something make you think
I got time to waste
What you doing
Standing here
Why don’t you call for
Someone who cares
Fat cats all the same
Easy answers just a game
Another day nothing changes
There’s got to be a better way
There’s got to be a better way

A glistening of questioners
Prepared the inquisition
While jackals in the shadows
Manoeuvre for position
A fundament of righteous men
A barrow ideals
Carriage of misjustice
Crushes all beneath it’s wheels
Conspiracies of silence
Within the temple walls
Graveyards full of promises
That no one can recall
A castle full of rascals
A fortress full of thieves
A parliament of silver tongues
Flatter to deceive

Oh my darling Carolina
If you get the chance
To walk behind here
She’s so clean
You see no splash
Just the Texas chainsaw massacre
Fat cat’s got to go
I’m Rockin’ and rollin’
From my headache to my toes
She’s trying to set the world on fire
Up there in her Ivory tower

There’s got to be a better way
There’s got to be a better way
There’s got to be a better way

The Enemy Within-Rush

Things crawl in the darkness

That imagination spins

Needles at your nerve ends

Crawl like spiders on your skin

Pounding in your temples

And a surge of adrenaline

Every muscle tense to fence the enemy within

I’m not giving in to security under pressure

I’m not missing out on the promise of adventure

I’m not giving up on implausible dreams

Experience to extremes

Experience to extremes

Suspicious-looking stranger

Flashes you a dangerous grin

Shadows across your window

Was it only trees in the wind?

Every breath a static charge

A tongue that tastes like tin

Steely-eyed outside to hide the enemy within

I’m not giving in to security under pressure

I’m not missing out on the promise of adventure

I’m not giving up on implausible dreams

Experience to extremes

Experience to extremes

To you, is it movement or is it action?

Is it contact or just reaction?

And you, revolution or just resistance?

Is it living, or just existence?

Yeah, you, it takes a little more persistence

To get up and go the distance

I’m not giving in

I’m not missing out

I’m not giving up on implausible dreams

Experience to extremes

I’m not giving in to security under pressure

I’m not missing out on the promise of adventure

I’m not giving up on implausible dreams

Experience to extremes

Experience to extremes

Hey, yeah, yeah

And The Bands Played On - Saxon

Just before dawn in the cold light, we came out of the night
And great expectation from the man who ran the show
Will it rain, will it snow, we don’t know
While the clouds up in the sky, we sat in the sun
And the bands played on

And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on

Seeing people feeling power, there were sixty thousand men
Just like thunder, the clouds began to roll
Were you there, did you know, did you see on the show
There was magic in the air, we sat in the sun
And the bands played on

And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on

Seeing rainbows shining brightly, shooting rockets through the sky
Making music as we rolled on through the night
You could hear on the air, rock and roll everywhere
We were strangers in the night, we sat in the sun
And the bands played on

And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on

Diamonds and Rust-Judas Priest

Well, I’ll be damned, here comes your ghost again

But that’s not unusual

It’s just that the moon is full, and you happened to call

And here I sit, hand on the telephone, hearing a voice I’d known

A couple of light years ago, heading straight for a fall

As I remember, your eyes were bluer than Robin’s eggs

My poetry was lousy, you said, “Where are you calling from?”

A booth in the Midwest

Ten years ago, I bought you some cufflinks

You brought me something

We both know what memories can bring

They bring diamonds and rust

Well, you burst on the scene already a legend

The unwashed phenomenon, the original vagabond, you strayed into my arms

And there you stayed, temporarily lost at sea, the Madonna was yours for free

Yes, the girl on the half-shell could keep you unharmed

Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling around and snow in your hair

Now you’re smiling out the window of that crummy hotel over Washington Square

Our breath comes out in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air

Speaking strictly for me, we both could have died then and there

Now you’re telling me, you’re not nostalgic

Then give me another word for it, you were so good with words

And at keeping things vague

'Cause I need some of that vagueness now, it’s all come back too clearly

Yes I loved you dearly

And if you’re offering me diamonds and rust, I’ve already paid

Twentieth Century Man - The Scorpions

In the jungle of these times
Honest love’s so hard to find
In the world of video
Computers tell you what to do
The world’s devoted to the Dollar sign

Remote-controlled and on the line
Plug in man on the rack
Waiting for a heart attack
And no chance to die

No more space for love
The world gets really tough
Can’t you see the end
Twentieth Century Man?

In the jungle of these times
There’s nothing left for them to buy
They look for God on the screen
They’ve got even dream-machines
They are mesmerized

No more space for love
The world gets really tough
Can’t you see the end
Twentieth Century Man?

No more space for love
The world gets really tough
Can’t you see the end
Twentieth Century Man?
No more space for love
The world gets really tough
Can’t you see the end
Twentieth Century Man?

Solitary Shell-Dream Theater

He seemed no different from the rest

Just a healthy normal boy

His mama always did her best

And he was daddy’s pride and joy

He learned to walk and talk on time

But never cared much to be held

and steadily he would decline

Into his solitary shell

As a boy he was considered somewhat odd

Kept to himself most of the time

He would daydream in and out of his own world

but in every other way he was fine

He’s a Monday morning lunatic

Disturbed from time to time

Lost within himself

In his solitary shell

A temporary catatonic

Madman on occasion

When will he break out

Of his solitary shell

He struggled to get through his day

He was helplessly behind

He poured himself onto the page

Writing for hours at a time

As a man he was a danger to himself

Fearful and sad most of the time

He was drifting in and out of sanity

But in every other way he was fine

He’s a Monday morning lunatic

Disturbed from time to time

Lost within himself

In his solitary shell

A momentary maniac

With casual delusions

When will he be let out

Of his solitary shell

I’m a fool now that it’s over
Can you guess my name?
I make my money singing songs about you
It’s my claim to fame
When they say it’s over
It’s not all over, there’s still the pain

And I’d come running
I’d come running back to you again
Oh I’d come running
I’d come running back to you again

If I said I was sorry
Would you still leave me?
I never thought you’d go
Till you did, believe me
When they say it’s over
It’s not all over completely

'Cause I’d come running
I’d come running back to you again
Yes, I’d come running
I’d come running back to you again

I miss that girl

The show is over
And we must all go home
Just leave me by myself
I’ll be all right here on my own
If it’s all over, it’s all over
And I’m all alone

And I’d come running
I’d come running back to you again
Don’t you know I’d come running
I’d come running back to you again

Lorelei - Scorpions

And there was a time when we sailed on together
Once had a dream that we shared on the way
And there was a place where we used to seek shelter
I never knew the pain of the price I would pay

You led me on with a cloak and a dagger
And I didn’t know you had made other plans
You had me believe we were meant for forever
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands

Lorelei
My ship has passed you by
And though you promised me to show the way
You led me astray

You were my Lorelei
What kind of fool was I
'Cause I believed in every word you said
And now I wonder why
Lorelei

And there was a time when we helped one another
Baring our souls in the light of the flame
Those were the days, now I’ve lost my illusions
Sometimes I wake in the night and I call out your name

Lorelei (Lorelei)
My ship has passed you by
And though you promised me to show the way
You led me astray

You were my Lorelei (Lorelei)
What kind of fool was I
'Cause I believed in every word you said
And now I wonder why
Lorelei

Now there’s a light that shines on the river
Blinding my eyes from so far away
Shot through the heart, but now I know better
As hard as it is to resist the song that you play

Lorelei (Lorelei)
My ship has passed you by
And though you promised me to show the way
You led me astray

Oh, Lorelei (Lorelei)
What kind of fool was I
'Cause I believed in every word you said
And now I wonder why

You been kickin’ around
While you’re messin’ about

Better catch her name
Come on in

Call in a high command

Hurry for naught

Gypsy - Dio

She was straight from hell
But you never could tell
'Cause you were blinded by her light
She could crack your brain
With magic pain
And turn a paler shade of white

Well I was on the free
Just me and me
And just about to sail

When I heard the voice
Said you got a choice
The hammer or the nail

You’ll be ridin’
You’ll be ridin’ on the gypsy
On the gypsy

Well I rolled the bones
To see who’d own
My mind and what’s within

And it’s a given rule
That we’re all fools
And need to have a little sin

So I’m ridin’
Well I’m ridin’ on the gypsy
On the gypsy queen

Well she was straight from hell
But you never could tell
'Cause you were blinded by the light

So she cracked my brain
With magic pain
And turned my left around to right, right

So I’m ridin’
I’m still ridin’
Yes I’m ridin’ on the gypsy
On the gypsy queen
She’s mean

smile upon your face
With fingers crossed you switch the
perfume with the mace
What kind of dreams do you enjoy
inside your bed
I’ll face the lies and shake the
evil from your head

Black illusion
Is all I ever see
Black illusion
I’ll bring you misery
Oh yeah
Yeah

You always seem to know the answer to it all
You seem to cheat the truth
and never take the fall
Your life is hollow and
you simplify the rules
The time will come when
you will join the other fools

Looking inside of yourself
You might see someone you don’t know
Maybe it’s just what you need
Letting the river in you flow

You can sail away to the sun
And let it burn you while you can
Or walk a long bloody road
Like the hero who never ran

You’ll feel it
You’ll feel it
You’ll feel the rush of it all

Flying away in the clouds
You know you’re losing your control
And finding you way in the dark
Like some poor forgotten soul

You’ll feel it
You’ll see it
You’ll feel the rush of the city lights
You’ll feel it
I see it in your eyes, you’re

Caught in the middle
Just like the way you’ve always been
Caught in the middle
Helpless again

Looking inside of yourself
You might see someone you don’t know
Maybe it’s just what you need
Letting the river I know that’s in you flow

You can feel it
You can see it
You know the rush of thunder, yeah
You’ll feel it
I see it in your eyes, you’re

Caught in the middle
Just like the way you’ve always been
Caught in the middle
Helpless again
Like the rush of a thunder
That brings you under
There’s some kind of spark
You’re caught right there in the middle
You’re caught in the middle
Caught in the middle again
All night long yeah hmm hmm hmm
You break it off in the middle

Diary of a Madman-Ozzy Osbourne

Screaming at the window

Watch me die another day

Hopeless situation

Endless price I have to pay

Sanity now it’s beyond me

There’s no choice

Diary of a madman

Walk the line again today

Entries of confusion

Dear diary, I’m here to stay

Manic depression befriends me

Hear his voice

Sanity now it’s beyond me

There’s no choice

A sickened mind and spirit

The mirror tells me lies

Could I mistake myself for someone

Who lives behind my eyes?

Will he escape my soul

Or will he live in me?

Is he trying to get out

Or trying to enter me?

Voices in the darkness

Scream away my mental health

Can I ask a question

To help me save me from myself?

Enemies fill up the pages

Are they me?

Monday 'til Sunday in stages

Set me free
