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 face 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

Die Young - Black Sabbath

Gather the wind
Though the wind won’t help you fly at all
Your back’s to the wall
Chain the sun and it tears away
And it breaks you as you run, you run, you run

Behind the smile there’s danger and a promise to be told
You’ll never get old
Life’s fantasy, to be locked away
And still to think you’re free, you’re free, we’re free

So live for today
Tomorrow never comes

Die young, die young
Can’t you see the writing in the air
Die young, gonna die young
Someone stopped the fair

Gather the wind
Though the wind won’t help you fly at all
Your back’s to the wall
Chain the sun and it tears away
And it breaks you as you run, you run, you run

So live for today
Tomorrow never comes

Die young, young
Die young, die young
Die young, die young, young
Die young, die young, die young, die young, die young!

I got a certain little girl, she’s on my mind
No doubt about it, she looks so fine
She’s the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she’s gonna make me feel so bad

Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but
I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I’m not to blame now

(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(Love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(Love, love)
Well, I want that, need it
(Love, love)
Oh, I gotta gotta have it

She’s got loving like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
To blow my mind and I’m in so deep
That I can’t eat and I can’t sleep

Listen, hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling
my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I
love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I’m not to blame now

(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(Love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(Love, love)
Well, I want that, need it
(Love, love)
Yeah I gotta gotta have it

Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don’t know where I am goin’ to
Silk suit, black tie
I don’t need a reason why

They come runnin’ just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl’s crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man

Gold watch, diamond ring
I ain’t missin’ not a single thing
And cuff links, stick pin
When I step out I’m gonna do you in

They come runnin’ just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl’s crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man

Top coat, top hat
I don’t worry ‘cause my wallet’s fat
Black shades, white gloves
Lookin’ sharp and lookin’ for love

They come runnin’ just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl’s crazy
'bout a sharp-dressed man

Demon’s Eye - Deep Purple

I don’t mind
Just what you say
I never heard you, baby
Never heard you anyway

I don’t care
What you do
Just so long as
It ain’t me and you

Sly, sly, sly
Like a demon’s eye

Everything’s good
I said, everything’s fine
You don’t know, don’t know
It’s the end of your time

How does it feel
To be turned away?
I’ve known it, baby
Almost every day

Sly, sly, sly
Like a demon’s eye

I don’t need you
Anymore
I don’t want you, baby
Hanging round my door
You slip and slide
Round my brain
You think you’re so clever, yeah
But you know you’re insane

Sly, sly, sly
Like a demon’s eye

I do-do-don’t mind
Just what you say
I never heard you, baby
Never heard you anyway

Everything’s good, I said
Everything’s fine
You don’t know
It’s the end of your time

I’ve had enough of being programmed
And told what I ought to do
Let’s get one thing straight
I’ll choose my fate
And it’s got nothing to do with you

The years are flying by and it’s time I got high
Took a sample of the good things in life
This is a chance
I’m gonna take
Gonna get out trouble and strife

I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So what’s wrong
You don’t have to be old to be wise

No I don’t care that the people stare
Accuse me of going mad
Just get a long hard look into the mirror
Then, tell me now who’s been had

The way things are going I won’t get to show 'em
Go single all the time’s up to me
So it’s off with the ties
No compromise
Wanna taste what it’s like to be free

I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So what’s wrong
You don’t have to be old to be wise

I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So what’s wrong
You don’t have to be old to be wise

I’m gonna gather my things
Go through the door
Every night I’ll live on my own
I’d like to be there
And I’m gonna be there
I got a will of my own

I go as I please
Fend for myself
Pull all the stops, roll the dice
Out on my own, gonna go it alone
When I need it
Then I’ll ask for advice

You don’t have to be old to be wise
You don’t have to be old to be wise
You don’t have to be old to be wise
You don’t have to be old to be wise
You don’t have to be old to be wise
You don’t have to be old to be wise
You don’t have to be old to be wise

Can you hear me?
Can you see there’s a storm
On the edge of the sky?
Does it matter?
Well, it does to me
And I can tell you why

You know when there’s thunder
There should be rain
But it don’t always follow the rule, no
And is the wise man always right?
No, he can play the fool

It’s always a mystery
Not what it seems to be
It’s always a mystery
Just like you and me
Always a mystery

We are lightning, we are flame
And we burn at the touch of a spark
When there’s no fire, if no-one sees
There is only the dark
Just imagine, will you try?
I can see that you’ve opened your mind
Silver linings can disappear
But they always shine

It’s always a mystery
Not what it seems to be
It’s always a mystery
Just like you and me
Always a mystery

It’s always a mystery
Not what it seems to be
Always a mystery
Just like you and me

It’s always a mystery
Not what you want to see
Always a mystery
Just like you and me
Always a mystery

Always a mystery
Not what you want to see
Always a mystery
Always a mystery
Always a mystery
Not what you want to see
Just like you and me

Always a mystery
Always a mystery
Not what you want to see

Who Cares?-Extreme

Tell me Jesus, are you angry?

One more sheep has just gone astray

A hardening of hearts turning to stone

Wandering off so far from home

So many children losing time

Walk in darkness looking for a sign

Chasing their rainbows, future looks so bright

Slowly we’re losing sight of the light

Who cares, who cares, who cares?

Tell me who cares, who cares?

Who cares, who cares, who cares?

Tell me who cares, who cares?

All alone out in the cold

Can’t look back, am I growing old?

I chose a path and is this my fate?

Am I finding out the truth too late?

Who cares, who cares, who cares?

Tell me who cares, who cares?

Who cares, who cares, who cares?

Tell me who cares, who cares?

Here I am, a naked man

Nothing to hide with empty hands

Remember me, well I am the one

Who lost his way your prodigal son?

Can anybody, anybody?

Anybody, any luck

Anybody, any luck

Am I ever gonna change?

Will I always stay the same?

I say one thing an’ I do the other

Same old song goes on forever

Ever gonna change

I just take it dead, I know

My will is weak but my bless is strong

Loose I seem to that yearn of gold

Spirit of Radio-Rush

Begin the day with a friendly voice

A companion, unobtrusive

Plays that song that’s so elusive

And the magic music makes your morning mood

Off on your way, hit the open road

There is magic at your fingers

For the spirits ever lingers

Undemanding contact in your happy solitude

Invisible airwaves crackle with life

Bright antennae bristle with the energy

Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength

Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free

All this machinery making modern music

Can still be open-hearted

Not so coldly charted, it’s really just a question of your honesty

Yeah, your honesty

One likes to believe in the freedom of music

But glittering prizes and endless compromises

Shatter the illusion of integrity, yeah

Invisible airwaves crackle with life

Bright antennae bristle with the energy

Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength

Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free

For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall

Concert hall

Echoes with the sounds of salesmen

Of salesman, of salesmen

Well, I was out on a drive, on a bit of a trip
Looking for thrills to get me some kicks
Now, I warn you ladies, I shoot from the hip
I was born with a stiff – stiff upper lip

Like a dog and I howl
I bite everything
And I’m big and I know
And I’ll ball your thing

I keep a stiff upper lip
And I shoot from the hip
I keep a stiff upper lip
And I shoot, and I shoot
Shoot from the hip
Yeah, I shoot from the hip

Now listen

Well, I’m working it out
And I’ve done everything, yeah
And I can’t reform, no
Can you feel my sting?

I keep a stiff upper lip
And I shoot from the hip
I keep a stiff upper lip
And I shoot, and I shoot
Shoot from the hip
Yeah, I shoot from the hip

Well, I’m out on the prowl
And I’ll ball your thing
I got the teeth that’ll bite you
Can you feel that sting?

Babe, I keep a stiff upper lip
And I shoot from the hip
I keep a stiff upper lip
And I shoot, shoot
Shoot from the hip

I got a (stiff upper lip)
Better believe me (stiff upper lip)

As the sun breaks above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still

His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze

Fly on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun

Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
“In the name of God, my father, I fly”

His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes, to ashes his grave

Fly on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun

Fly, on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly

Fly as high as the sun

Well, in the middle of the night
And the early morning light
You can hear them a million miles away
They’ll be bangin’ on their drums,
bangin’ on your door
Waving their flags, telling you to score

Watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Oh, no, it’s the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Look out for the rock brigade
Leading you away, away

So when they hit your town
You’d better get down
I’m telling no lies to you, mister
'Cause they live for rock’n’roll
They’ll try to steal your soul
Might even try to steal your sister

Watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Oh, no, it’s the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Look out for the rock brigade
Leading you away, away, away

So, in the middle of the night
Or the early morning light
If you hear them comin’ your way
Well you’d better watch your step,
don’t step out of line
'Cause here they come one more time

Watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Oh, no, it’s the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Look out for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
You better watch for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
I say, “Watch out for the rock brigade.”
(rock brigade)
Keep your eyes on the rock brigade

Don’t let your eyes off the rock brigade

They’ll be leading you away, away, away

Mine All Mine - Van Halen

Oh, forgive me father, for I have sinned
I’ve been through hell and back again
I shook hands with the devil
Looked 'im in the eye
Looked like a long lost friend

Oh, anything you want, any dirty deeds
He’s got everything ‘cept what I really need
Keepin’ me temporarily satisfied
But not one thing I’ve tried
Filled me up inside or felt like mine
Mine all mine

Yeah, the search goes on
The more I look, my world keeps gettin’ smaller
Staring at the sun, searchin’ for the light
Almost ended up blind Some only see what they wanna see
Claiming victory, oh but that’s not me
Gimme truth, gimme somethin’ real
I just wanna feel like it’s mine all mine

Ooh-oo-ooh, really mine
(Mine all mine)
Come on, ‘n gimme somethin’
(Ooh-oo-ooh)
Somethin’, that’s mine all mine all mine

Mine all mine

All the words on the wall look the same in the mirror
Every riddle and every clue
Ow, you’ve got Allah in the east
You’ve got Jesus in the west
Christ, what’s a man to do

They’ll find a cure for anything
Just kill the pain or numb my brain
We see a man speakin’ the word of God
Provin’ to be a fraud, his own church applauds
Stop lookin’ out, start lookin’ in
Be your own best friend
Stand up and say “Hey! This is mine!”

Ooh, all mine
(Mine all mine)
Yeah
‘N baby you’ve got somethin’
(Ooh-oo-ooh)
Uh! An’, and I got somethin’
(Mine all mine)
Hey, and it’s mine all mine all mine

Uh!
(Mine all mine)
Ooooh!
(Mine all mine)
Yes, I’m searchin’
(Mine all mine)
Uh-I got to have it
(Mine all mine)
Oooh ow
(Mine all mine)
Well
(Mine all mine)
Got ta, got ta, got to
(Mine all mine)
Got to have it. Ow

Uh! Uh! Uh

Purgatory - Iron Maiden

Thinking of an age, old dream
Places I have never seen
Fantasies lived times before
I split my brain, melt through the floor

Over clouds my mind will fly
Forever now, I can’t think why
My body tries to leave my soul
Is it me? I just don’t know

Memories rising from the past
The future shadows overcast
Something’s clutching at my head
Through the darkness I’ll be led

Oh, another time, another place
Oh well, another smile on another face
When you see me floating up beside you
You get the feeling that all my love’s inside of you

Please, take me away
Take me away
So far away

Please, take me away
Take me away
So far away

Please, take me away
Take me away
So far away, hey!

Thinking of an age, old dream
Places I have never seen
Fantasies lived times before
I split my brain, melt through the floor

Over clouds my mind will fly
Forever now, I can’t think why
My body tries to leave my soul
Is it me? I just don’t know

Memories rising from the past
The future shadows overcast
Something’s clutching at my head
Through the darkness I’ll be led

Oh, another time, another place
Oh well, another smile on another face
When you see me walking up beside you
You get the feeling that all my love’s inside of you

Please, take me away
Take me away
So far away

So far away

Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage

Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact

Living in the Limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem

Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation
The underlying theme

Living in a fisheye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can’t pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend

All the world’s indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another’s audience
Outside the gilded cage

Why try? I know why
This feeling inside me says it’s time I was gone
Clear head, new life ahead
It’s time I was king now, not just one more pawn

Fly by night, away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night, goodbye, my dear
My ship isn’t coming and I just can’t pretend

Moonrise, thoughtful eyes
Staring back at me from the window beside
No fright or hindsight
Leaving behind that empty feeling inside

Fly by night, away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night, goodbye, my dear
My ship isn’t coming and I just can’t pretend, whoa!

Fly by night, away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night, goodbye, my dear
My ship isn’t coming and I just can’t pretend

Start a new chapter, find what I’m after
It’s changing every day
The change of a season’s enough of a reason
To want to get away
Quiet and pensive, my thoughts apprehensive
The hours drift away
Leaving my homeland, playing a lone hand
My life begins today

Fly by night, away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night, goodbye, my dear
My ship isn’t coming and I just can’t pretend

My ship isn’t coming and I just can’t pretend
Fly by night, away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night, goodbye, my dear
My ship isn’t coming and I just can’t pretend
My ship isn’t coming and I just can’t pretend
My ship isn’t coming and I just can’t pretend

Coming out of nowhere
Driving like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
Because it’s coming your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He’s got nothing you need
He’s going to make you bleed
And you know he’s gonna get you

Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider
On the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down
Meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning
Heading your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He’s got nothing you need
He’s going to make you bleed

Coming out of nowhere
Driving like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
Because it’s coming your way

'Cause it’s coming your way
'Cause it’s coming your way
'Cause it’s coming your way
'Cause it’s coming your way
'Cause it’s coming your way

When A Blind Man Cries - Deep Purple

If you’re leaving, close the door
I’m not expecting people, anymore
Hear me grieving, lying on the floor
Whether I’m drunk or dead, I really ain’t too sure

I’m a blind man
I’m a blind man
And my world is pale
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know
There ain’t a sadder tale

Had a friend once, in a room
Had a good time, but it ended much too soon
In a cold month, in that room
Found a reason, for the things we had to do

I’m a blind man
I’m a blind man
Now my room is cold
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know
He feels it from his soul

22 Acacia Avenue - Iron Maiden

If you’re feelin’ down depressed and lonely
I know a place where we can go
22 Acacia Avenue

Meet a lady that I know
So if you’re looking for a good time
And you’re prepared to pay the price
Fifteen quid is all she asks for
Everybody got their vice

If you’re waiting for a long time
For the rest to do their piece
You can tell her that you know me
And you might even get it free

So any time you’re down the East End
Don’t you hesitate to go
You can take my honest word for it
She’ll teach you more than you can know

Charlotte can’t you get out from all this madness? (Madness)
Can’t you see it only brings you sadness?
When you entertain your men don’t know the risk of getting disease

Some day when you’re reach the age of forty
I bet you’ll regret the days when you were laying
Nobody then will want to know
You won’t have any beautiful wares to show, any more

22, the Avenue
That’s the place where we all go
You will find it’s warm inside
The red light’s burning bright tonight

Charlotte isn’t it time you stopped this mad life
Don’t you ever think about the bad times
Why do you have to live this way?
Do you enjoy your lay or is it the pay?

Sometimes when your strolling down the avenue
The way you walk it make men think of having you
When you’re walking down the street
Everybody stops and turns to stare at you

22, the Avenue
That’s the place where we all go
You will find it’s warm inside
The red light’s burning bright tonight

Beat her, mistreat her, do anything that you please
Bite her, excite her, make her get down on her knees
Abuse her, misuse her, she can take all that you’ve got
Caress her, molest her, she always does what you want?

You’re running away, don’t you know what you’re doing?
Can’t you see it’ll lead you to ruin?
Charlotte you’ve taken your life and you’ve thrown it away
You believe that because what you’re earning?
Your life’s good don’t you know that it’s hurting?
All the people that love you don’t cast them aside
All the men that are constantly drooling
It’s no life for you stop all that screwing
You’re packing your bags, you’re coming with me

Oh no, oh no
Here we go now
Oh no, oh now
Here we go now

Got a crazy feeling I don’t understand
Got to get away from here
Feeling like I should have kept my feet on the ground
Waiting for the sun to appear

Mamma’s gonna worry
I’ve been a bad, bad boy
No use saying sorry
It’s something that I enjoy

Because you can’t see what my eyes see
(I can see it, I can see it)
And you can’t be inside of me
Flying high again
I can see through mountains, watch me disappear
I can even touch the sky
Swallowing colours of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy guy (you bet)

Mamma’s gonna worry
I’ve been a bad, bad boy
No use saying sorry
It’s something that I enjoy

If you could be inside my head
You’d see that black-and-white is red
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Come on and join me

Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Come on and join me

Oh no, oh no
Here we go now
Oh no, oh now
Here we go now

Daddy thinks I’m lazy he don’t understand
Never saw inside my head
People think I’m crazy but I’m in demand
Never heard a thing I said

Mamma’s gonna worry
I’ve been a bad, bad boy
No use saying sorry
It’s something that I enjoy

Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
