1.Long Gone
Lyricist:Chapman Paul William, Mogg Phillip John
Skulking in the mean streets
Whispering in the halls
Red light bandits on the corner
Give no quarter calls
Infectious garbage fills the streets
And in their eyes you know
A thin blue line bends and breaks
Stop the overflow
Fan the flames of the city's heat
In dark corners hiding never seen
Desperation and the trouble flares
Alarm guns ring running scared
And you're long gone, down in this hell
Long gone down in this hell
So baby, won't you hold me tight?
Let your softness fill my night
We've got a dream, don't let it slip away
In your eyes I can see the fear
This town never sheds a tear
We're gonna be out some day, walking away
Keep on looking for a holy one
Some kind of hero or a prophet to come
Visionaries dance your night away
There's no tomorrow living for today
But you're long gone down in this hell
Long gone down in this hell
I saw the stars come out tonight
So lonely and immune
Summer rain kissed the streets
That bleed like open wounds
Patrol cars sweep the avenues
Down on forty eighth
While faces in dark doorways
Wait around the hate
Fan the flames of the city's heat
In dark corners hiding never seen
Desperation and the trouble flares
Alarm guns ring running scared
Baby, better walk away, baby, better walk away
We'll be busting out someday
Baby, better walk away, baby, better walk away
We'll be busting out some day
2.Chains Chains
Lyricist:Mogg Phillip John, Way Peter Fredrick
Jack of Diamonds is a gambling man
He played the tables whenever he can
Take some advice boy, stay clean, stay out of his way
Little Jeannie is a dancing queen
She's been shaking it since she was sixteen
Skips across the tables, acting out her passion play
Wasn't for money, it's only a chance
You take a gamble, that shot for romance
Chains chains, pulling you down
Chain of love that turns your world around
Chains chains, pulling you down
Chain of love that turns your world around
Without a warning, Jeannie took off one night
Jack got so mean boy, he just had to fight
He died on the floor, someone else evens the score
Back on the tables, Jeannie's romance had died
That one look of love that told her a lie
And for her there's no wave crashing on seashore
Wasn't for money, it's only a chance
You take a gamble, that shot for romance
Chains chains, pulling you down
Chain of love that turns your world around
Chains chains, pulling you down
Chain of love that turns your world around
Chains chains
Chains chains
3.Couldn't Get It Right
Lyricist:Chapman Paul William, Mogg Phillip John, Way Peter Fredrick
You wake up in the morning
Look for a clue, something new
Turn on the radio and it's as dead
As the visions dying in your head
And when you were young
You had big ideas, no hidden fears
You had your heroes, they were walking tall
Now your devotion seems comical
So now you got older and the world's got colder than it used to
be
Every day gets longer and turns into a darker night
Down in the gutter nothing seems to matter but your history
I couldn't get it, I couldn't get it right
You played the game as children
Didn't understand, life's not so grand
'Cause love hurts you and you could feel
Lonely, lonely, lonely one
Some people get it easy
They got it made, so unafraid
You'll be the fool and find the winner
He's gonna take it all
So now you got older and the world's got colder than it used to
be
Every day gets longer and turns into a darker night
Down in the gutter nothing seems to matter but your history
I couldn't get it, I couldn't get it right
So now you got older and the world's got colder than it used to
be
Every day gets longer and turns into a darker night
Hey, you got older and this world's got colder than it used to
be
Every day gets longer and turns into a darker night
Down in the gutter nothing seems to matter but your history
I couldn't get it, I couldn't get it right, no, no, no, no
I couldn't get it, I couldn't get it right
4.It's Killing Me
Lyricist:Mogg Phillip John, Way Peter Fredrick
Living inside a bottle
Strung out on a line
Caught in life's rough and tumble
Blind leading the blind
I wish there was an answer
But she's got such an easy way
And you know you can't leave her
And you know you can stay
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
We're hiding from the small talk
And hiding all the pain
With our backs against the wall
Is all this love in vain?
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
When I'm with you, you know I try so hard
Not to love you but I keep up my guard
Every single day that goes by
Are we fooling ourselves living a lie?
Please tell me now, it's no secret
Is this surrender with defeat?
Do you let love pass you by?
Walk to a different beat
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh
5.Lonely Heart
Lyricist:Berlin Irving
Sarah has her dreams and makes her plans
To get what she wants when she can
A little bit of heaven
Was all she asked for
In the silent moments deep in the night
She'd find herself make it feel all right
Hungers for the bright light
And something more
With her young heart so gently beating
A secret rendezvous love was meeting
Out in the night, out in the night
Night, night, night
Played on the radio, heard on the news
Baby's gone lost they found her shoes
You can turn out the light
You better turn out the light
You go walking on the wild side
Learn how to run 'cause you can't hide
Better steal yourself away another page, another day
In your lonely heart beating out in the dark
Lonely heart
And beneath the lights the rock 'n' roll band
Electric guitars, one night stands
Are you giving away
Giving away
With hungry and oh so desperate eyes
The souls who get hurt believe in their lies
You only betray
Only betray
And now you cry yourself to sleep
Against the odds you wanted to beat
You never say no
Never say no no no no
Left with the promises that you swore
The price you pay is the love you tore
Now, where did it go?
Where did it go?
You go walking on the wild side
Learn how to run 'cause you can't hide
Better steal yourself away, another page, another day
In your lonely heart beating out in the dark
Lonely heart
6.Makin' Moves
Lyricist:Chapman Paul William, Mogg Phillip John
All the boys hangin' out down in the parking lot
The night riders giving all they've got
While the girls look so good at looking bad
Out strutting dressed in the latest fad
Valentino looks for something new
Escapes for the night and waits his cue
And I love the way they make their move
Yes, I love the way they're makin' moves
Kids clothe armor hands like battle dress
Got his act down, some kind of feelings
And tonight they're gonna make the run
Downtown, call the garrison
From the back roads, through the alleys it screams
You gotta get a feeling mean, mean, mean
And I love the way they make their move
Yes, I love the way they're makin' moves
Rockface going nowhere fast
Some gonna make it, some don't even last
Just one night, they don't give a damn
I'm the star, hides another sham
There's no silver and there's no gold
It's just that one shot before they're old
And I love the way they make their moves
Yes, I love the way they're makin' moves
Ooh, I love, I just love the way they're makin' moves
Makin' moves, makin' moves
7.Profession Of Violence
Lyricist:Paul William Chapman, Phillip John Mogg
Hey babe, what we gonna do?
No look behind me glances
Straight time this time
We'll take our chances
Darling, it's been so long
Every lonely hour
Oh, the sinner pulls the trigger
And the world turns sour
Whisper on the wind
Locked in silence
Profession of violence
Whisper on the wind
Locked in silence
Profession of violence
Try to pick up the pieces
Maybe move away
But the lifer
Was only yesterday
Down the halls of justice
The echoes never fade
Notches on my gun
Another debt is paid
Whisper on the wind
Locked in silence
Profession of violence
Whisper on the wind
Locked in silence
Profession of violence
8.The Wild, The Willing And The Innocent
Lyricist:Chapman Paul William, Mogg Phillip John
Who's dressed to kill, out to thrill
Waiting for you tonight?
Got my ear down to the ground
Waiting for the warning sound
Some thing's got to bite
And I'm looking for a wild rose
In the heat of the night, waiting for a show
Looking for a wild rose
In the heat of the night, waiting for a show
And the wild, willing and the innocent
Are down, down in the jungle tonight
As the jackal tracks every step you make
Watching, waiting for the one chance to bite
In the final dangerous game
Trap set in the net, feel my hands start to sweat
Ooh, I'm taking aim
And I'm looking for a wild rose
Heat of the night, waiting for a show
Looking for a wild rose
Heat of the night, waiting for a show
And the wild, willing and the innocent
Are down, down in the jungle tonight
As the jackal tracks every step you make
Watching, waiting for the one chance to bite
Cold black steel, your last meal
The hand of fate has come
The phone taps, blueprint maps
Making my nerve ends snap
Public Enemy Number One
And I'm looking for a wild rose
The heat of the night, waiting for a show
Looking for a wild rose
In the heat of the night, waiting for a show
And the wild, willing and the innocent
Are down, down in the jungle tonight
As the jackal tracks every step you make
Watching, waiting for the one chance to bite
