Keep out of her way
When she’s in a rage
From day to day
You’ll never know what to face
She’s got a hair trigger
Yeah real short fuse
She’ll fire up
Don’t cut her loose (they call her)
Nitrate, nitrate yeah
Nitrate, like a ticking bomb she’ll explode
Nitrate, pretty girl nitrate
My girl nitrate, light the fuse and she’ll explode
Gotta handle her gently
Push her softly along
Smile softly and
Never ever tell her she’s wrong
Like walking in a minefield
You don’t know where to tread
But you worship the ground
On which she steps
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Nitrate, nitrate yeah
Nitrate, like a ticking bomb she’ll explode
Nitrate, pretty girl nitrate
My girl nitrate, light the fuse and she’ll explode
Nitrate, nitrate yeah
Nitrate, like a ticking bomb she’ll explode
Nitrate, pretty girl nitrate
My girl nitrate, light the fuse and she’ll explode

All You Ever Do
04:00

Look at you now
When did you lose your way?
Full of love, never hiding away
Just look at you now
You can’t see
That you’re running from your own fate
All your dreams have come too late
You just can’t see
All you ever do is bring me fear
All you ever do is bring me tears
All you ever do is kill the light
All you ever do is chase the night
Look at you now
Fighting demons for far too long
Thinking how the worlds done you wrong
Just look at you now
All you ever do is bring me fear
All you ever do is bring me tears
All you ever do is kill the light
All you ever do is chase the night
So spread some love
With my blood on your hands
A lost paradise in drifting sands
Just spread some love

I lost all hope of finding love
All I had was never enough
But you brought something new in to my life
And you brought joyous tears to my eyes
It could only ever be you
It could only ever be you
And I never believed in love until you
You’re more than a dream come true
Like the oceans bring in the waves
You bring me sunshine every single day
It could only ever be you
It could only ever be you
I was nothing until I met you
You’ve given me faith to see this through
You’ve brought me to a place where I belong
And there is only you to keep me strong
It could only ever be you
It could only ever be you
It could only ever be you
It could only ever be you

When We Were Young
03:48

Crazy ways
Hazy days
What we did for fun
In the days when we were young
Trying to find our way
In those crazy hazy days
Oh those crazy days
Oh those hazy crazy ways
When we were young
Drunken times
Snorting lines
We knew it was wrong
But it didn’t last long
Young and reckless
Dumb and feckless
Oh those crazy days
Oh those hazy crazy ways
When we were young
Party nights
TIl’ the morning light
Girls and boys revelling
Teenagers rebelling
I think back and smile
Just for a while
Oh those crazy days
Oh those hazy crazy ways
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young

Hell I've Paid Enough
03:33
|
|||
|
I sit here alone once more
And watch the moon light hit the floor
To try to believe what’s true
And try to love myself as you do
I reach for another drink
To try and not over think
If grief is the price we pay for love
Hell, I’ve paid more than enough
But as the morning draws on
Nightmares bounce around my head
And when I lay my body down
I sometimes wish that I were dead
My heart is bleeding
For all the things I’m needing
If grief is the price we pay for love
Hell, I’ve paid more than enough
I just can’t take it anymore
I’ve had enough of that I’m sure
To live a life more complete
Broken dreams lay at my feet
My heart has grown so cold
Emotions out of control
If grief is the price we pay for love
Hell, I’ve paid more than enough
I reach for another drink
To try and not over think
If grief is the price we pay for love
Hell, I’ve paid more than enough
My heart is bleeding
For all the things I’m needing
If grief is the price we pay for love
Hell, I’ve paid more than enough
My heart has grown so cold
My emotions out of control
If grief is the price we pay for love
Hell, I’ve paid more than enough

I'm All Yours
03:48
|

|
must be getting really near
To no longer being here
I’m ready
And I’m not too far away
From the end of all my days
I’m ready
I’ll spend some time on a railway line
Sit and wait for my destruction
Spread my remains under a train
So long
You can celebrate our years
With all my lonely tears
I’m going
You’re my beloved sacred cow
And that’s all I am now
So I’m going
Gonna freak you out you won’t believe it
Got me hanging from the ceiling
It’ll look so good come round later
I’m all yours
Must be getting really near
To no longer being here
I’m ready
And if tomorrow’s like today
I can see no other way
I’m ready
If the good ones all die young
Then count me in as one
I’m going
You kick my life around
Gonna put me in the ground
I’m going
I’ll over dose on you door step
Park out side and get exhausted
It’ll look so good
I’m coming round later
I’m all yours

Don't You Look Back
03:33
|
|||
|
You never know what’s there
Until you strip it all away
Questions unanswered
The reasons will come another day
The truth is out there
Take in the whole view
Don’t you lose track
It’s not all about you
Don’t you look back
Don’t you crack
Don’t you lose track
Take a step back
The cracks appear
You’re falling apart I’m always near
So walk with me
There’s nothing for you to fear
The rain falls hard
The pain is still strong
But take my hand
It’s time for us to move on
Don’t you look back
Don’t you crack
Don’t you lose track
Take a step back

Open Up Your Heart
03:39
|
|||
|
Do you dream of me when I dream of you?
Do you wish that our dreams come true?
I feel you’re close but you’re far away
Are searching for another day?
Oh my love, open up your heart
Please my love, open up your heart to me
Please my love don’t you cry
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Together we can work this out
Of that I’m sure I have no doubt
Oh my love, open up your heart
Please my love, open up your heart to me
Almost broken from the battles we have fought
So let’s not throw away what we have got
Oh my love, open up your heart
Please my love, open up your heart to me
Please tell me that this is not the end
I just want to help us mend
Look deep into your heart
Can’t you see that there’s still a spark
Oh my love, open up your heart
Please my love, open up your heart
Oh my love, open up your heart
Please my love, open up your heart to me

The Ballad Of Stevie Boy
03:15
|
|||
|
In the summer of eighty three
Stevie boy came to be
The apple of his mother’s eye
On his dad he couldn’t rely
School just wasn’t a place for Steve
It wasn’t long before he’d leave
He was a boy beyond control
Darkness dwelt within his soul
He was a boy who thought he was a man
He never gave a single damn
Treading on toes wherever he went
Believing he was heaven sent
Steve left home at just sixteen
Found a job in a canteen
He met her a month later
She was a lover not a hater
So he helped her sell her illegal wears
Steve was smitten and he didn’t care
The cash came quicker than he could spend
No time to think if it would ever end
She wore her tattoos well
Took him from heaven to hell
She showed him pleasures and pains
All flowing through his feeble veins
It was late one Friday night
Six men came looking for a fight
The blows came in thick and fast
Steve prayed his torture wouldn’t last
He doesn’t bother to fight the attack
Coz he knows he’s cornered and they’ll be back
He thinks of a time before it began
This was never ever his plan
In pain he lays in a strange place
Blood streaming from his battered face
He wonders how it got to this
Craving for his mother’s kiss
The vultures start to circle above
Steve lived a life without love
He’s on his way to where he belongs
There’s no amends for all his wrongs
So he drifts away to a better place
Somewhere he can show his face
He looks to the sky starts to pray
Closes his eyes and drifts away

One Reason To Stay
03:52
|
|||
|
Thinking back in time
I was a fool to love you
But then I wish you were here,
I have to talk to you
We need to work this out
Right from the start
And then we can go our separate ways
Happy in our hearts
You gave me a thousand reasons to walk away
When all I needed was one reason to stay
You gave me a thousand reasons to walk away
When all I needed was one reason to stay
Do you recall sunny days?
Drinking Chilled champagne?
Walking hand in hand
Down a leafy lover’s lane
We sang and we danced
In the flames of lust
Now our dreams have
All but turned to dust
You gave me a thousand reasons to walk away
When all I needed was one reason to stay
You gave me a thousand reasons to walk away
When all I needed was one reason to stay
You gave me a thousand reasons to walk away
When all I needed was one reason to stay
You gave me a thousand reasons to walk away
When all I needed was one reason to stay

Just like a spirit so free
I live my life day to day
Just like many others
I think it’s much better that way
Just like anyone else
I want to live my life dangerously
Just like anything else
You’ll never be what I want you to be
I want you, don’t want you
I need you, don’t need you
I love you, don’t love you
I hate you, don’t hate you
Just like any other
I have my emotional needs
Just like any other
When you hurt this heart it bleeds
Just like anything else
There’s gotta be something better than this
Just like many before me
I can’t live without your cyanide kiss
I want you, don’t want you
I need you, don’t need you
I love you, don’t love you
I hate you, don’t hate you
So strip me down and tear me apart
Delve deep down and rip out my heart
I feel you can’t wait to see me fall
But I always end up wanting you more, wanting you more, wanting you more
I want you, don’t want you
I need you, don’t need you
I love you, don’t love you
I hate you, don’t hate you

I Have Won
03:31
|
|||
|
I’m nearly always drunk
I don’t know what to think
But I hate this whole damn world
So I’ll have another drink
Nobody likes me
And I don’t care
They can all go to hell
Coz I’m lord knows where
I was fired a month ago
They said I’d done things wrong
But he voices in my head
Tell me that I am strong
God tells me what to do
I know he’s on my side
Those sinners need to repent
And I’ll show them all just why
I’m going back to work
With my trusted gun
And take out all those bastards
One by one by one
The cops are outside now
And I know that I’m done
But those arseholes are dead now
And now I know I have won
