1.Hit The Fan
Why don't you tell me that's it's over
Why do you keep this hangin' on
Pack up your bags and run for cover
Say what you mean and see it done
Why don't you cut me loose, you don't need me
Lift up your dress and walk away
There's nothin' left you can say to please me
You're just a dog who had it's day
You beat around the bush and mumble
About the good old days we had
Your face grows longer as you crumble
You had the good now taste the bad
Let it all hit the fan
Let it all hit the fan
Let it all hit the fan
You promised me nothing would change you
More empty words from an empty soul
The same old stories you still cling to
The truth be told you leave me cold
You used to lead the dance and fumble
Howl in the night you couldn't sleep
You climbed to the top of the hill then tumbled
Too many promises come cheap
Let it all hit the fan
Let it all hit the fan
Let it all hit the fan

2.The Difference
Makes no difference to me
If you stay or if you leave
Seein' the time seen the day
Would have been the end of me
There's nothin' left for us to say
We never did talk much anyway
Makes no difference to me
If you stay or if you leave
Makes no difference to me
If you want that i should go
I hope you've got all that you need
Not that it matters anymore
There's nothin' left for us to say
We never did talk much anyway
Makes no difference to me
If you want that i should go
Makes no difference to me
Somethin' has died and somethin's gone
I'm not trying to lay the blame
'bout who was right or who was wrong
There's nothing left for us to say
We never did talk much anyway
Makes no difference to me
Something's died, something's gone
And it don't matter no!
Makes no difference to me
Something has died and something's gone
I'm not trying to lay the blame
'bout who was right and who was wrong
There's nothing left for us to say
We never did talk much anyway
Makes no difference to me
Something's died, something's gone
And it don't matter no

3.Harvest Moon
You can't do anything right they call you good for nothin'
You can't read or write and you can't count up to ten
You run around blind but your feet run around in circles
You're heads in the clouds but your havin' yourself a time
I want to be like you
I want to be like you
Just a natural fool, under the harvest moon
Just a crazy old fool, under the harvest moon
That's alright.....that's alright
You don't give a damn about the latest style or fashion
Your hair's too long and your feet don't fit in your shoes
You're not too smooth but i know that you must know something
There's a look in your eye when you hear those rhythm and blues
I want to be like you
I want to be like you
Just a natural fool, under the harvest moon
Just a crazy old fool, under the harvest moon
That's alright.....that's alright
You're much too wide and you're way too fat for comfort
You drink too much and you smoke like an ol' steam train
You're a barrel of fun and the girls all think you're crazy
Just a dancing fool singin' in the morning rain
I want to be like you
I want to be like you
Just a natural fool, under the harvest moon
Just a crazy old fool, under the harvest moon
That's alright.....that's alright

4.She Rox
She's as sweet as candy
She's a sugar coated queen
Shine's like a diamond
On the silver screen
Sixteen and sexy
Peaches and cream
Strawberry milkshake
If you know what i mean
She rox, she rox
She rox, she rox
She rox, she rox
Low down and dirty
Sure built for speed
Motorcycle mama
Heavy metal machine
She's a penthouse centerfold
She's a walking, talking dream
Too hot, too dangerous
Got to be seen
She rox, she rox
She rox, she rox
She rox, she rox
Low down and dirty
Sure built for speed
Motorcycle mama
Heavy metal machine
She's a penthouse centerfold
She's a walking, talking dream
Too hot, too dangerous
Got to be seen
She rox, she rox
She rox, she rox
She rox, she rox
Movie trailer .... dialogue
She rox, she rox
She rox, she rox

5.Classic
She ain't as young as she used to be
She's got some miles on her now
She ain't no chicken and her paint job's fadin'
But i still love her anyhow
She still runs hot and sexy
Stoppin' grown men in their tracks
Take her top down in the sunshine
Chase the wind no lookin' back
Fell in lust when i first saw her
Lookin' like a million dollars
Couldn't wait to get inside her
Just to ride her
Listen to her scream
Every young man's dream
And i don't care if the rust shows thro'
She's got some miles on her now
She's still the classic
Still to die for
And i still love her anyhow

6.Being There
I see your name up in lights now
And i hear your words on the air
But i see your face on the t.v.
On the news stands
How does it feel being there
How does it feel
I see you're top of the the pop stars
Box office sell-out success
I see your picture on the cover of newsweek
How does it fell being there
How does it feel
Are you happy or sceptical
How does it feel being there
How does it feel being there
You know
I see you drive up in limos
Suicidal blonde on each arm
And i see your face in the mirror
Doin' cocaine
How does it feel being there
How does it feel
I hear they need you in the movies
Box office sure fire success
We'll see the big smile on the big screen
How does it feel being there
How does it feel
Do you think it was worth it
Is it all that they say
Are you happy or sceptical
How does it feel being there
How does it feel being there

7.Scene Of The Crime
He makes his sign, and he leaves his smell
At the scene of his crime
Its his day in hell
And there's smoke in the sky, and there's fire in his eyes
At the scene of the crime
How many have died
And he waves his flags, and he sells his cause
And we count the cost, of the lives we've lost
And he shows his hand ,and he shows his soul
At the scene of the crime.......my blood runs cold
It's an endless war, and he infects his child
At the scene of the crime
He walks a murder mile
He shows no sense, and he shows no remorse
At the scene of the crime
We all play his cost.........aw yeah!
He makes his sign, and he leaves his smell
At the scene of his crime
Its his day in hell
And there's smoke in the sky, and there's fire in his eyes
At the scene of the crime
How many have died

8.Legend
Well i've seen your face
And the color of your eyes
And i see the way that you look at me
I was something to despise
And i heard them call you legend
That you played the game so well
Let me just say one more time
I didn't kiss or tell
All the heart's that you've broken
All the damage that you've done
And all the words and promises
Died like snowflakes in the sun
They say you walk with angels
That you talk with god
Oh you are so righteous
Oh you are so holy
All the heart's that you have broken
All the damage that you've done
And all the words and the promises
Died like snowflakes in the sun
They say you walk with angels
That you talk with god
Oh you are so righteous
Oh you are so holy

9.Working Man
All of his life he's been a working man
Up every morning in the dark and rain
Every friday night he gets his take home pay
And he hands it all over and he don't complain
All of his life he's been a working man
He never pushed paper but he used his hands
And all that he was his father's way
So he'll walk in his footsteps to his dying day
Put your hands together for the working man
Puts food on the table for his wife and weans
My daddy spent his life as a working man
And he worked for a year for his week in spain
All of his life he's been a working man
Up every morning in the dark and rain
Every friday night he gets his take home pay
And he hands it all over and he don't complain
All of his life he's been a working man
He never pushed paper but he used his hands
And all that he was his father's way
So he'll walk in his footsteps to his dying day
Put your hands together for the working man
Puts food on the table for his wife and weans
My daddy spent his life as a working man
And he worked for a year for his week in spain

10.Stone Crazy
Children taking handguns to classrooms
Getting blown away
Play time means something new today
President tells lies in the courthouse
He's gonna slip away
Justice means something new today
We're all together now
In a world that's constantly changing
We're all together now
In a world that's going stone crazy
Madman who can't take a lesson
Playin' with his toys
War means something else today
Real life gets stranger than fiction
Judgement on the web
Fair trial means something new today
We're all together now
In a world that's constantly changing
We're all together now
In a world that's going stone crazy
Marines kill horses with machine guns
Some idea of fun
Sport must mean something new today
A child is born with a needle a day habit
Got it from his mom
Mother meaning something new today
We're all together now
In a world that's constantly changing
We're all together now
In a world that's going stone crazy
Madman who can't take a lesson
Playin' with his toys
War means something else today
Real life gets stranger than fiction
Judgement on the web
Fair trial means something new today
We're all together now
In a world that's constantly changing
We're all together now
In a world that's going stone crazy
Marines kill horses with machine guns
Some idea of fun
Sport must mean something new today
A child is born with a needle a day habit
Got it from his mom
Mother needed something new today
We're all together now
In a world that's constantly changing
We're all together now
In a world that's going stone crazy

11.Monkey Nutz
I don't buy your master plan
And you don't know nor understand
Why sink your head in the sand
Two in your bush, one in my hand
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
I don't need this runaround
Why don't you keep your hand me downs
You never give no turn me ons
All you give is scraps and bones
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
I don't want your sympathy
All of your dreams lie at your feet
There's no more, turn the other cheek
Keep all your nice boys and your freaks
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Don't come knockin' at my door
I wont be your dog no more
I can't get it up for you
Go run and fuck somebody new
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
The monkey nutz....monkey nutz
Monkey nutz........monkey nutz
The monkey nutz....monkey nutz
Monkey nutz........monkey nutz
The monkey nutz....monkey nutz
Monkey nutz........monkey nutz
The monkey nutz....monkey nutz
Monkey nutz........monkey nutz

12.The Hill
Out of your mind, got to be blind
Killers and martyrs with blood in their eyes
Chancers and gangsters with hearts cold as ice
Jesus can save, did nobody say
Beggars and soldiers who dress up and kill
Count all the children who died on your hill
Nobody cares, nobody sees
All of your causes they don't mean a fuck
All you can show us is blood hate and guns
Judas still lives, he hides on the net
Killers and martyrs who live by the gun
Make no impressions they just hit and run

13.Foolish Child
Cry,if that's the way you feel
Let it all come fallin' down
We all know that you feel alone
Foolish child
Cry, if that's the way you feel
All your tears won't wash you clean
We can't feel the pain you feel
Foolish child
Die, that's the easy way for you
See if anyone really cares
What's so bad about the life you have
Foolish chid
Die, leave your message on the phone
How much love do you you need
We all know how the story goes
Foolish child
Why, did you let it come to this
Another number on a list
What becomes of all the hearts you've won
Foolish child
We can't feel the way you feel
All your tears can't wash you clean
Cry if that's the way you feel
My foolish child
My foolish child
My foolish child
My foolish child
We can't feel the way you feel
All your tears won't wash you clean
Cry if that's the way you feel
My foolish child
My foolish child
My foolish child
My foolish child

14.One From The Heart
(demo 1985)
I've seen that girl before, i've seen the boys that come and go
And still she's on her own
I've seen those tears before, i've seen her heart break
She knows what it means to be alone
There must be another way to spend her life
While she is waiting
She knows the dangers there, these love affairs
Run hot, run cold and always take their toll
It's another lonely night inside these empty rooms
She knows will never be at home
There must be another way to spend her life
While she is waiting
For one from the heart
She's on her knees
One from the heart, that's all she needs
One from the heart, she can believe
I've seen that girl before, i've seen the boys that come and go
And still she's on her own
I hope somewhere, somehow, someday
She'll find that special one before her heart turns cold
There must be another way to spend her life
While she is waiting
For one from the heart
She's on her knees
One from the heart, that's all she needs
One from the heart, she can believe
