The Hellacopters Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.The Same Lame Story

Tonight you're talkin' as you are you say (???)
The same story from the other day
I'm runnin' out of sympathy
The same story that you're tellin' me

The same story
The same story
You're such a lame story
The same story
The same story

You've got the cool but all the advice (?????)
Same story made us slender in lies
I've had enough, I want no more!
The same story as I walk out that door

The same story
The same story
You know it's such a lame story
The same story
The same story

You and I have no me and you
The same story what a danger vu
This is a bell must have heard this before (???????)
The same story as I WALK OUT THAT DOOR!

The same story
The same story
You know it's such a lame story
The same story

The same story
The same story
You're such a lame story
The same story
The same story


2.Throw Away Heroes

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Dahlquist, Robert Eriksson, Kenny
Dick Hakansson, Anders Lindstrom

Ten to one and then it's over
Executives are taking turns
Options lost in dirty water
Got a whole lot left to give but still you're burned

No one ever said it'd be easy
Got it made got to be the one
Feels so good but then it's gone

Throwaway heroes
Disposable smiles
Keep track of pats on your back
In all out style

Time to move replace the burden
Pass the gloves onto some other hands
Who's that dude I never heard of
Well he's left the building but he was the shit he was the man

No one ever said it'd be easy
Got it made got to be the one
Feels so good but then it's gone

Throwaway heroes
Disposable smiles
Keep track of pats on your back
In all out style
Throwaway heroes
Expendable beats
From god to geek
Now someone else is in your seat

Throwaway heroes
Disposable smiles
Keep track of pats on your back
In all out style
Throwaway heroes
Expendable beats
From god to geek
Now someone else is in your seat


3.Long Gone Losers

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Dick Hakansson,
Anders Lindstrom, Andreas Svensson

Hey, wait up
Would you mind steppin' in here?
Sure now, what seems to be the problem, dear?
I just wanna get down and take a look at your ass
Well here you go, do you think it's pretty?

He goes, 'Don't be so cocky, I'm just doin' my job'
Well your job's fucked up
Don't say you're sorry 'bout it, Bob
You're enjoying every second and you're not the only one
And it makes me feel real shitty

You got them long gone losers everywhere
You got them long gone losers

Down by the corner there's a well dressed man
'Don't worry 'bout it, kid, I will help you if I can'
But I know 'bout their schemes and I know 'bout their plans
You got 'em runnin' 'round in this city

They're all around me, always been
Keep on knocking, sayin' let me in
They're all around
You got them fucked up losers again and again
They've been 'round since Bob knows when
I know 'bout their schemes and I know 'bout their plans
They're all around to make us feel real shitty


4.Red Light

Lyricist:Niklas Anders Andersson

We're gonna lay this thing in serenade
Talking of Venus and Moleen, of night have it made
Sew some pretty faces won't come by
The dirt will tell the truth ain't coming lie

I didn't had to tell you 'bout your health
Well, it makes you look releasing, cheaply and despair
Saw you in a dream I had last night
You were throwing punches in a firefight

Would you excuse me? You really do amuse me
Funny little thing, you're out of sight
You would linger, would you to turn your middle fingers
Picking up the pieces of your life?

Red light shines upon your greater light
Rope around your neck is getting tight
Yeah, red light, try and try and try you might
You're along of course and I'm alright

Would you excuse me? You really do amuse me
Funny little thing, you're out of sight
'Cause you were linger, would you to turn your middle fingers
Picking up the pieces of your life?

Red light shines upon your greater light
Rope around your neck is getting tight
Yeah, red light, try and try and try you might
You're along of course but I'm alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah and I'm alright
Yeah, yeah


5.Ferrytale

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Erksson, Kenny Dick Hakansson,
Andreas Svensson

Dressed in green, lookin' mean
Working for the government machine
Sad bastards, actin' tough
Shut your mouth with them handcuffs

Move your ass, you bleedin' punk
I move my ass when I want
And I was just a bit drunk

C'mon, don't you dare lock us up
'Cause when my time is done
I will tell you to shut up

Don't tell me
what I can and cannot do

Here I am and this how I live
But I ain't takin' no more than I give
Stand by your woman, stand by your man
I stand by my woman with a gun in my hand

No, I won't stand there, baby and take that shit
They had it comin' honey and you know it
And the fire has been lit


6.Disappointment Blues

Lyricist:Davol Tedder

Got shit when I wanted much
I want you but you're so out of touch
Want new but all I see is ancient
I am so eager when I should be patient

Shook up when I wanna get down
I wanna fly but I just hit the ground
Alright already I've had enough them
Options lie before me but I can't get 'em up

I got a lot but is it what I wanted
What was looking good turn out to disappoint me

I make turns when I wanna head straight
I'm all done by the time, it's too late
I'm in love and I want something to do
But when I do I take things out on you

I got worry, I got nothing to say
I wanted action but all I did was just to throw it away
This is not what I wanted, ain't what I wanted to do
Destination let down, now I got the disappointment blues


7.A Cross For Cain

Lyricist:Andersson Niklas Anders, Dahlquist Robert , Eriksson Robert
Matz, Hakansson Kenny Dick, Kiesby Chips, Lindstrom Anders

Out of key with my time
Banned from streets of gold
'Cause of my rhyme
So tell me
Is there still a world to win
Or am I just a captive
Of the original sin?

You know I always hit rock bottom
God, I know it's true, the Ides of March
Is there nothing I can say or do?
Again I'm heading east of Eden
Hounded by the driving rain
You know I'm bound to carry
That old cross for Cain

Kicked out of the promised land
I'm a boogier in a forsaken band
In the ditch I got both feet in the grave
I'm still a roller but I was born a slave

You know I always hit rock bottom
God, I know it's true, the Ides of March
Is there nothing I can say or do?
Again I'm heading east of Eden
Hounded by the driving rain
You know I'm bound to carry
That old cross for Cain

You know I always hit rock bottom
God, I know it's true, the Ides of March
Is there nothing I can say or do?
Again I'm heading east of Eden
Hounded by the driving rain
You know I'm bound to carry
That old cross for Cain


8.Everythings On TV

Lyricist:Niklas Anders Andersson, Robert Jens Dahlqvist, Robert Matz
Eriksson, Kenny Dick Hakansson, Anders Lindstrom

I have a TV screen of some 32 inches
TV dinner and an easy chair
From where I view a disaster
And switch the channel fast
And thank my lucky star I wasn't there

The world's in a hurry but I don't have to worry
There's a movie on with a happy end
I've seen it before but I can see it some more
So I don't have to go out and pretend

No I don't have to go out
I'll just stay inside, it doesn't bother me
I have all I need because everything is on TV

Well I burned all my books on my ass I sit and look
And behold the world deteriorate
I don't have to stand up just to take a stand
I'll SMS a live TV debate

No I don't have to go out
I'll just stay inside, it keeps me company
I have all I need because everything is on TV
Everything is on TV

I can pay to get heard or to get the last word
Wire money to some charity
While I do as I please and bake in my own grease
I better keep my conscience clean

The world's in a hurry but I don't have to worry
I got my virtue and I got my vice
I got bedsores, aching ligaments galore
Now that's a tiny sacrifice


9.Freeway To Hell

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Dick Hakansson,
Andreas Svensson

I'm the stray dog, I'm the hunchback
I'm the freak across the street from you
Like a roach on my ceiling
Watching everything I do

Don't you tell me or even care
I'm glad if you don't give a damn
I can do without your paranoia
And your opinions about who I am

About the way I wear my clothes
About the way I wear my hair
About the way I smoke my dope
About things that I just don't care

I've been lost, I've been weary
I've been skull and cross bone blue
Getting outta here, yeah, I'm leaving
I won't be no steppin' stone for you

Hitch a ride, run if I have to
Down a freeway of flames
Into the dark by the crossroads
I've paid my dues, I won't take the blame

Headin' down the crossroad
I'm gettin' out of here
And I don't even care
Outside of society


10.No Angel To Lay Me Away

Sun didn't rise this morning
Not a sign come noon
Heard the noise of a thousand voices
But no one else was in my room

Reached for my Holy Bible
But it seems as though I've lost my ways
Don't want no superstition to carry me down
Got the devil grinning in my face

Make me a pallet on your floor
Mama, tell me what to do
Won't serve it to me right
C'mon and bring me good news
Help me get rid of these blues

Got me stuck by the wayside
In the wee wee hours
Won't you spare this denier
From the brimstone and the fire?
Lord, won't You give me power?

Don't want no angel to lay me away
No saint to worry my ol' mind
Write me no death letter
Bound for worse and not better
Jesus, don't leave me behind

No, I don't need no head stone
Or writings on my grave
Break 'em on down, shake 'em on down
Lord knows I can't be saved

I'll never pray for no mercy no more
Or make amendments for my ways
I got time to reconsider
While I stay there and wither
With the devil grinning in my face


11.Monkeyboy

I got an ape performing in my head
If he don't stop then I will soon be dead
This monkey's no friend of mine
I try to act straight but he's on cloud number nine

He's got a cup made of tin
And it's 'cause of him you won't let me in
He bangs a drum so I can get no sleep
Well, he's a monkey but he can't be beat

Head over heels on banana peel
I'm getting confused as to what i feel
And every time I try to speak
He always puts his monkey tongue in my cheek

Oh, my, my, I'd do anything to make him die
But then I see there's nothing I can do
The monkey's just a part of me

I got a monkey singing in my brain
I should have known already we're the same
I got some monkey business to attend
I think I'll ask him if he'd hold my hand

And ask him to be a friend of mine
Together we'll fly up to cloud number nine
And share his cup made of tin
Maybe then you'd like to let us in

Oh, my, my, I did everything to make him die
But now I see there's nothing I can do
The monkey's just a part of me


12.I'm In The Band

Friday night we got a gig in town
We're all raved up, we're gonna get it on down
They're playing our song on the radio
We're dressed for the occasion and we're ready to go

Had a great pair of shoes I thought I had class
A brand new jacket but no backstage pass
Had to hurry up to the stage I ran
And this big guy pushed me, said, 'No you can't'

But, hey, I'm in the band
Would it be so hard for you to understand
That I got work to do you better let me in man
Because I'm in the band

Paid our dues on the long way here
The van broke down but we don't give a care
The sun sets low and it's about time
So don't you treat me like I committed a crime

Been here all day to sound check and eat
There's no way in hell that we didn't meet
There are rules to be followed yes I understand
And you're doing your job the best you can

But, hey, I'm in the band
Would it be so hard for you to understand
That I got obligations to my screaming female fans
Because I'm in the band

I may not look like Jagger
May not have money in the bank
I got a pair of cheap sunglasses
And my castle may be made of sand

But, hey, I'm in the band
And without me you'd have no girl to land
Because of me and my colleagues
You got wedding plans only 'cause I'm in the band
Yes, I'm in the band


13.Leave It Alone

C'mon and leave it be
Just try and you will see
If you leave it alone
Alone it will be

Don't try to make things right
You'll only end up in a fight
Just leave it alone
And it will be alright

Why don't you leave it alone?
And go on home, just leave it alone

Hey girl, drop your guns
Give it a try just this once
And leave it alone
It feels good when it's done

Back off and turn your cheek
Give some substance to what you preach
You're wearing out the reasons
You know I've heard your speech

Why don't you leave it alone?


14.Murder On My Mind

Try to convince yourself that you're doing me a favor
When not too deep inside you that it ain't so
So you compete with the arts and your act is climbing up the
charts
You can pick up a piece of the latest release with ease, so easy

You pass out credits and pretend to run the show
I'd like to think you know, I got murder on my mind

You and your kind are growing fat on others labor
You steal candy from kids and pat them on their backs
Got what the public demands and the blood of Elvis on your hands
You sell it by the drop and every junkie wanna cop some flavor

Got a remastered revolution out with bonus tracks
Guess you stabbed a few backs, I got murder on my mind

That simple thing was meant to help and to heal
Somehow recently it lost it's appeal
You got it butchered and sold it by the cut
But hey at least you sold a lot

First you killed the heartbeat
And then you killed the soul
You killed rock 'n' roll
I got murder on my mind


15.Bring It On Home

Gimme flowers and birds in the trees
Gimme cute, the spice and the sweet
Gimme righteous but not too much
And a tender touch

Gimme God and the Holy Ghost
Peanut butter and jelly on toast
Gimme the blood of my enemies
Just give it to me

Bring it on home

Gimme truth gimme nice and polite
Gimme honest, patient and right
A brand new car and some hope
Get rid of all the dope

Gimme sunshine, blue skies and green
Gimme unleaded gasoline
Gimme friends who never deceive
Just give it to me

Bring it on home


16.Nothing Terribly New

Got this feeling, the feeling ain't good
You said it'd go away I knew it never would
I may not be clever I may not be wise
But a deaf, dumb and blind man would see through the lies

They say hang on tight, the future brings hope
But we're all hanging at the very same end of the rope
They keep preaching the gospel, the dos and the don'ts
Man says he will but man you know he won't

It's nothin' new, N O T H I N N E W
It's getting us good like it always do
It's nothin' new

Well, I've heard all about it, just what they say
Nothing terribly new here to save the day
We can dream all we want but it's the nature of the beast
Keep on casting stones and spread the disease

We can worry 'bout the end but we've already seen it
We can say we're sorry but we'll never mean it
We can bury the hatchet and lower our guns
But when the war is over another has begun

It's nothin' new, N O T H I N N E W
It's getting us good like it always do
It won't get any better,the changes are too few
It's nothin' new


17.I Might Come See You Tonight

Give me a drink
I need some time to think this over
Should I go through that door
I wanna be sure tonight

The girls look pale
And the liquor is stale and I'm sober
The place is packed with brats
And infested by rats

And I don't wanna put up a fight
On the edge of being jaded
But it's the little things
That could have me persuaded

So if you play real tight
And you're not too light
I might come see you tonight

It's a crack in the wall
The guys are way too tall
And the ladies make too much noise
And I do have a choice tonight

I can lay on the couch and refuse to go out
But maybe if the band's not crap
And I don't drink from the tap
It really could be out of sight

But the dudes
They never give me a break
And a can in my head
Is more than I can take

But if you're not too light
And you get it on right
I might come see you tonight

I'll come see you tonight
If you really get it on alright
I'll come see you tonight
If you really get it on

So here comes the band
The baddest in the land, oh really
Well, see if I care 'bout the clothes that you wear
The latest fad ain't gonna get you nowhere

But if you play real tight
And you're not too light
I might come see you tonight


18.Before The Fall

Got beggars and clerks
Got teachers and kids
Elected men off work
Defrocked preachers forbid

I wonder how they can stand it
Or if they care at all
As they waste the last few days
Before the fall

Homesick prisoners
And party throwers
With all their honored guests
And they're going nowhere

You know I cannot be bothered
Just ain't no point at all
I've done a lot of screaming
But no one would heed the call
Before the fall
