Grande Rock

The Hellacopters Grande Rock Lyrics
1.Paul Stanley

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Hakanssan, Andreas
Svensson

Hound dogs, they are fighting
In a room with a ten lock door
Waitin' for the second sighting
Plastered to a wall in a store

They got dope, they got high
But they never tell the reasons why
Come clean sisters amphetamine
Has gone astray

Manhog takes a look in the mirror
Skins it up around 4:25
Still the picture's not getting clearer
Walks away, rips the joint, take a dive

If you can't cope you can hide
But they'll never let you in on their side
Come clean, sisters amphetamine
Have gone away

Come clean, fade away the scene
Stay clean, perpetuate all means
Electric dreams, guitars quarantine
I'm gone away


2.The Devil Stole The Beat From The Lord

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Hakanssan, Andreas
Svensson

Got you concerned by some unconscious mistake
A bit blacker magic for that soul selling sake
Kinda caught you cold, a wicked twist on your fate
Could call it crucifixion or subdue to create

Got you fooled by a mass demand
Bragging 'bout fortunes you're about to land
And your loudmouth got your conscious sore
But it feels so good when you scream for more

The Devil stole the beat from the Lord
It's time to set things straight
Bragging like a brat that you got away
You're goin' down and you have to pay

Got you counting numbers and talking in tongues
Got your name in blood, suck the air from your lungs
And they have you playin' such devious games
Where no bets are even, the dealer's always the same

Now your illusions, they don't seem so grand
What you call yours is just second hand
Never question what they want from you
Just get up and dance when they tell you to

The Devil stole the beat from the Lord
It's time to set things straight
Bragging like a brat that you got away
You're goin' down and you have to pay

It's hard to smile
When you choke on your laughter
But the Lord works in mysterious ways
Without a hint or a clue

Got you fooled by a mass demand
Bragging 'bout fortunes you're about to land
And your loudmouth got your conscious sore
But it feels so good when you scream for more

The devil stole the beat from the Lord
Do you got what it takes
Keep braggin' like a brat that you got away
Thought you'd last till the end
But you don't have the means, oh no, you don't

The Devil stole the beat from the Lord
And the melody sway
You're goin' down and you have to pay
Yeah, you have to pay


3.Dogday Mornings

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Hakanssan, Andreas
Svensson

Past morning and I raise my head
Won't turn on the lights, won't get out of bed
Phone bugs me, baby, you're not here
I wish I didn't wake up

How I wish today was yesterday's news
In my head I can't get no truce
Friends seem like foes, creeps on the street
They're always here to greet me

Dogday mornings
Yeah, dogday mornings
Dogday mornings
I open my eyes and they meet me
Dogday mornings always there to greet me

Been so long since the good times rolled
Police, thieves, hookers all outta control
Some get looked up, some just gotta go
New days are-a-rising but I don't wanna know

Past sunrise and the drink's gone sour
Wanna turn time back to the midnight hour
In my dreams you're always here with me
But they always wake me up to greet me, to greet me

Dogday mornings
Yeah, dogday mornings
Dogday mornings
I open my eyes and they meet me

Yeah, dogday mornings
Yeah, dogday mornings
Dogday mornings always there to greet me


4.Lonely

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Hakanssan, Andreas
Svensson

Poor little girl born to a modern world
Lonely, lonely
Teenage angst ridden tried to make herself heard
Lonely, lonely

From a one horse town to a burg twice the size
From being safe and sound to getting cramped in a lie
It felt real easy so she started to snitch
But the bitchin' came around, threw her right down the ditch

Never imagined it could turn out so wrong
Lonely, lonely
Nobody listens 'cause the story's too long
Lonely, lonely

She tried to get by to her own little tune
Can't shoot Prozac with a needle and a spoon
Fell flat on her face crawled on her hands and her knees
Tried to make friends with her enemies

She thinks she's got it
She's got it way outta line
Now she's got the attention
If only she weren't so lonely

She thinks she's got it
She's got it way outta line
And now she's got the attention
If only she weren't so lonely

Lonely, lonely
Lonely, yeah, lonely
Yeah, lonely, lonely
Lonely, lonely

Yeah, lonely, yeah, lonely, yeah
Lonely, yeah, lonely, yeah
Lonely, yeah, lonely, yeah


5.Action De Grace

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Hakanssan, Andreas
Svensson

Can you feel it
Pumpin' down like heavy love?
Can you feel it
Getting down to rise above?

The rhythm gets you higher
Than the mountain tops
And everybody's ready
For the pressure drop

Motion to set it straight
So long since it was too late
Can you feel it? Oh yeah


6.The Electric Index Eel

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Hakanssan, Andreas
Svensson

Electric eyes, keep track of what I'm doing
Extensive index files knows my way
Before I'm movin'
And they get the picture developed before it's taken

I'm disillusioned but they sure know my way 'round
And they cast no shadow, don't make no sound
And they're ahead of time, it blows my mind
I'm tied up and it gets me down

Well, I say cold hard facts, you say paranoia
You don't have to react, they got device
To do it for 'ya
And they know the rhythm, girl before it's set in motion

I wanna talk to you but I know we ain't talkin' alone
Feels like someone else is on the phone
And top secrecy is blowin' me
I'm tied up and it gets me down

I wanna talk to you but I know we ain't talkin' alone
Feels like someone else is on the phone
And they're ahead of time, it blows my mind
I'm tied up and it gets me down


7.5 vs. 7

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Hakanssan, Andreas
Svensson

Gone down and out feels like it's sinkin'
With a sense of direction it comes tumblin' down
And the sky's gone dark, the streets are stinkin'
And the howlin' wind comes blowin' through the neon towns

And on sweepin' over the land
Yeah, the shit is aiming for the fan
And no, there ain't no chosen few
It's comin' down by the minute
It's sad but you're in it, too

You play along but deny the pressure
Side by side with fools you're feelin' like a King
You're just a pawn moved around in a massive tester
But you play your part real, well so you, don't feel a thing

And on sweepin' over the land
Yeah, the shit is aiming for the fan
And no, there ain't no chosen few
It's comin' down by the minute
It's sad but you're in it, too

Dead set like you had a reason
I could never walk your way
My soul been down for treason
And no, there ain't no chosen few
It's comin' down by the minute
It's sad but you're in it too

Heart's gone black, the sky is fallin'
Piling up outside the transplantation camp
Time's up, coyote's calling
Debris being left as treasures
For the waiting tramp

And on sweepin' over the land
Yeah, the shit is aiming for the fan
And no, there ain't no chosen few
It's comin' down by the minute
It's sad but you're in it, too

Yeah, the street's a mess and the howlin' wind
Blows hard, the hammer's fallin' again
Ain't no jewels left in your crown
With a sense of direction, it comes tumblin' down


8.Move Right Out Of Here

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Hakanssan, Andreas
Svensson

Passers by coincide with me
Steppin' out, cross my line
Feelin' sick, feel like shit
But I always say I'm fine

One stab in the back after another
I've had it up to my ears
One well aimed kick in their rear
And then I'm outta here

Are you ready, I've been ready
All my life all along
You bet I'm ready, damn

Day by day, night by nightmare
I've got my ass on the line
I've gotta get down, get on out
Before I'm goin' blind

Are you ready, I'm ready
Won't you come along
Bet your ass I'm ready

Gotta move right out of here
Gotta move right out of here
Gotta move right out of here
Gotta move right out of here

Are you ready, I've been ready
All my life all along
You bet I'm ready, damn

Gotta move right out of here
Gotta move right out of here
Gotta move right out of here
Gotta move right out of here

Gotta move right out of here
Gotta move right out of here
Gotta move right out of here
Gotta move right out of here


9.Welcome To Hell

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Hakanssan, Andreas
Svensson

I've seen you girl, I've seen you walkin'
'Round and 'round for a long long time
I've heard you girl, I've heard you talkin'
Tongue in cheek but it don't rhyme

It's time to move, yeah, it's to shake those
Hips to a different beat and
I got time to prove, today is dated
And obsolete

When mountains are too high
And their sides are to steep
And the rivers and it run too deep
Offers like this don't come cheap

And you got nothin' but your soul to sell
C'mon down and we will treat you well
Baby, welcome to hell

Well, I've been watchin' you
I watched you droppin'out sweet torn and frayed
But nothing's stoppin' you
Pillpoppin' days are over if you come my way

Absolution girl
And let it go and be the ultimate star fucker star
Got the solution girl
And let loose and dance to a different guitar, yeah

When mountains are too high
And their sides are to steep
And the rivers, they run too deep
Offers like this don't come cheap

And you got nothin' but your soul to sell
C'mon down and we will treat you well
Baby, welcome to hell

When mountains are too high
And their sides are to steep
And the rivers, they run too deep
Offers like this don't come cheap

And you got nothin' but your soul to sell
C'mon down and we will treat you well
And baby, welcome to hell

When mountains are too high
And their sides are steep
Well, you got rivers, and you run too deep
Offers like this don't come cheap

And you got nothin' but your soul to sell
C'mon down and we will treat you well
Baby, welcome to hell


10.Venus In Force

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Hakanssan, Andreas
Svensson

I saw her in lightning
She stood in the rain
Soaked and wet she was fighting
Got off her knees once again

She's dragging me down
But I wanna keep her warm
Still is my coat enough shelter
From the storm

I saw her in thunder
Beautiful electric and pale
And I saw her go under
Where souls are always for sale

She's dragging me down
But I wanna keep her warm
Still is my coat enough shelter
From the storm, yeah

She's getting down to get higher
Persistent she walks with bare feet
She walks through brimstone and fire
Think I'll at the crossroad, head for dead end street


11.Alright Already Now

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Hakanssan, Andreas
Svensson

Spare me, I don't need your yappin'
I got directions thrown at me
Like I was in need of clues

All night long, all day, night
Noon, morning, same old song
Comes on strong, never ending
Bitching my nerves gone twitching

Come around, wanna cook my goose?
It's runnin' over and I'm well worth a deuce
Fresh out of patience and I'm getting real bored
Bet your ass, I've heard it before

I hear you but baby, you don't move me
I've got enough of your predictions
And I just don't care what to do

All night long, all day, night
Noon, morning, same old song
Comes on strong, never ending
Bitching my nerves gone twitching

Come around, wanna cook my goose?
It's runnin' over and I'm well worth a deuce
Fresh out of patience and I'm getting real bored
Bet your ass, I've heard it before

Alright, already now, alright already now
Alright, already now, alright already now
