01. Anything

Music & lyrics by Crowley, Jugg, Merrick, Scabies, Vanian
I tear into my clothes
Sacrifice my soul for anything, anything
I gotta clear this town
No sense in hanging around
Cause anything anything anything
Is better than this

Where can the action be
To fill this need in me
Cause anything anything anything
Is better than this

I am the wicked boy
Who takes your favourute toy
Or anything anything
You show me someone
Who doesn't want no fun
Or anything anything anything
Is better than

I could never be
What you need in me anything
I could never be
What you see in me anything
I can take alot
I'll just take a shot at anything
What you got

I'll make my girl scream
I'll be her love machine anywhere
Anyway
She only wants my tricks
But we do have our kicks
At anything anything
Is better than this

I'm out of control
Sacrifice my soul for
Anything anything anything
Is better than this

I could never be
What you see in me anything
I could never be
What you see in me anything

02. Alone Again Or

Music & lyrics by Bryan MacLean
Yeah I said it's alright
I won't forget
All the times
I waited patiently for you
As you do just what you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight my dear


Yeh I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
That you could be in love
With almost anyone
You think people are the greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight for you


Hey I said its alright
You know I won't forget
All the times
I waited patiently for you
Now, you do just what
You choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight its true

03. The Portrait

Music by Dave Vanian, Bryn Merrick, Rat Scabies and Roman Jugg
Instrumental.

04. Restless

Music & lyrics by Dave Vanian, Bryn Merrick, Rat Scabies and Roman Jugg
The autumn leaves burning red
With the last light of the sun
The day is almost over
The day is almost done
Perhaps tonight I'll sit and watch
The stars come out
Their liquid hazy light
Holding time still
Bringing old memories to life
But I'm restless, restless, so restless

05. In Dulce Decorum

Music & lyrics by Dave Vanian, Bryn Merrick, Rat Scabies and Roman Jugg
Dear mother how I will write this line
When I know I'm counting time
I'm tired and I'm scared
I'm waiting and death's my friend

To say in God we trust not for this
Oh the death and glory boys not for this

Dear beloved try to write to you
Through the senseless deaths of a million troops
I'm waiting my time is near
As my tears wash away my years

To say in God we trust not for this
Oh the death and glory boys not for this

Where I walk where I see
The haunting flares where my friends bleed
I see the face of the enemy
Of a man or boy who is just like me
Now you're not there
All the tears we bled
Cut through like winters rain
Can't you feel the pain

And if I could ever sleep again
I know till the end of time I'd hear
Their screams of pain
Dulce dulce decorum
Dulce dulce decorum
Dulce
Dear mother I'll write to you

06. Gigolo

Music & lyrics by Dave Vanian, Bryn Merrick, Rat Scabies and Roman Jugg
Some resurrection is no conclusion
Some poor pretention but no invention
In the night they become, just what they want
One imitation just like Roger Moore
Please tell us what they say
They tell us what to do
They're only fooling me and you

You know what I ain't
You know what I ain't
I ain't no gigolo aunt
You know what I ain't
You know what I ain't
I ain't no gigolo aunt

Ten secret agents, codes and deadly tricks
The prince of darkness from the horror flicks
The spiders web of intrigue a silent scream of dread
Oh where have they gone, lost in pity and despair
Please tell us what they say
They tell us what to do
They're only fooling me and you

You know what I ain't
You know what I ain't
I ain't no gigolo aunt
You know what I ain't
You know what I ain't
I ain't no gigolo aunt

She stands there on the stair
Nobody cares we know he's there
She's making coffee for two
Who does he fool
It's me and you
Please tell us what they say
They tell us what to do
They're only fooling me and you

You know what I ain't
You know what I ain't
I ain't no gigolo aunt

07. The Girl Goes Down

Music & lyrics by Dave Vanian, Bryn Merrick, Rat Scabies and Roman Jugg
She walks like an angel walks
She talks like an angel talks
I first saw her down in market street
Wondered where'd she go
The girl went down down
To where I don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know

She stalks like a pussycat stalks
She stalks her predatory walk, yeh
I followed her down to another place
Stairs went down below
The girl went down, down
To a place I don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know
The girl girl
The girl goes down, down, down, down

She walks like an angel walks
And she talks like an angel talks, yeh
I first saw her down on market street
Wondered where she'd go
Yeh, I followed her down to another place
Stairs went down below
The girl girl
The girl goes down, down, down

She walks like an angel walks
She talks like an angel talks, yeh
Well she got eyes they are the hurting kind
They are black as coal
And they see down, down
Straight into your soul

08. Tightrope Walk

Music & lyrics by Dave Vanian, Bryn Merrick, Rat Scabies and Roman Jugg
High above as in the clouds
They swing so slowly
To the wire showing no fear
They step so boldly
Gently faster
Building in momentum
Until success or disaster
Befalls the master
O the tightrope walk
The dizzyingheights
The sound of your hearts
Like thunder
Measure your step
Or all your plans
May fall asunder
Now gently faster
Building in momentum
Until success or disaster
Befalls the master
Of the tightrope walk
The safety net is your psyche
The wire though imaginary
Yes its very real
So tread with care
On the tightrope walk
The tightrope walk
The tightrope walk
The tightrope walk

09. Psychomania

Music & lyrics by Dave Vanian, Bryn Merrick, Rat Scabies and Roman Jugg
Psychomania, Psychomania

She is the substance of my dreams
A spectre in the wind
Take my dare, take me there
On the trail of the jewel trail
If you've got a notion
Like a bullet set in motion
Shining chrome shiny leather
Penetrate the night forever

Psychomania, Psychomania

The pleasure of the beast
Cursing through our veins
Burn the night burn the day
A burning light on our a mounlight flight
Everything blurs in the shadow
Straight and true shot like an arrow
Tales of love tales of terror
Ghost-riders go hell for leather
Psychomania, drives me crazier
Psychomania
Psychomania

Everything blurs in the shadow
Straight and true shot like an arrow
Tales of love tales of terror
Ghost-riders go hell for leather
Streak the night with our burning flight
Crimson eyes that blur in the twilight
Psychomania, drives me crazier
Psychomania, drives me crazier
Everything blurs in the shadow
Straight and true shot like an arrow
Like a spectre in the wind
She is the substance of my dreams
Psychomania, drives me crazier
