01. Forearm Smash

Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley, John Thomas
Well I've grown up in a ring of tangles
Gonna make my move gonna use all the angles
Somebody said you were a spitfire cat
Burning love gonna put an end to that
Wanna clean break, clean fight
Shake my hand but you don't try anything rash
Catch you with my long throw
Take you by surprise
Gonna get you with a forearm smash

Baby, forearm smash
Baby, forearm smash

Seconds away gonna break your back
If you don't wanna play then don't give me flak
People spend money just to see you fall
When you're out for the count
They won't care no more, no more

I wanna clean fight baby so you'd better move over
I'm a heavy weight killer with a featherlight mover
It's a long time holding my arms around you
I'm gonna fight dirty 'cause I'm gonna get you
Oh, he hit me, he cut me
Pulling my hair, aiming below the belt
It's a prize fight and I was right
It's a grudge fight over woman that gives me hell

Baby, forearm smash
Baby, forearm smash

02. Hellbender

Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley, John Thomas, Steve Williams
Hellbender what journey are we on?
Hellbender we journey on and on

Look at the man making a fast buck
Filling his pockets and bringing us bad luck
Breaking the rock is something we all do
Keep it on ice, magical voodoo you

Now where we gonna run?
Hellbender it's only just begun

Look at the world gathering armour
Losing a minute in every hour
Pity the soul coming to you
Keep it on ice, magical voodoo you

What journey are we on?
Hellbender where do we all belong?

Look at the man
Dirt in his pocket
Breaking the rock
Keep it on ice
Look at the world
Losing a minute
Pity the souls
Keep it on ice
Magical voodoo

03. Heavy Revolution

Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley, John Thomas
Put your hands on your black guitar
Hit the chord for a rock and roll star
Our heads jumping up and down
Heavy rock bands are back in town
(You'll be coming too, and a hope you're alright)

Singing in the night, moving finds a solution
shaking in the night, it's a heavy revolution

Now you been struck with an ice machine
And we do it till the peoples scream
You let loose when the lights go out
Let's move and sing and shout
(Come on I wanna hear you play that music baby, clap your hands)

They cried with a mighty roar
Ten million people or more
They stand like a mighty hand
Heavy music is in the land
So put your hands on your black guitar
Hit the chord for a rock and roll star
Our heads jumping up and down
Heavy rock bands are back in town
(Hear my message to you, it's for you. yeah I sing my song)

04. Gunslinger

Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley, John Thomas
He stepped out through the door
Long face with a Stetson on
Hero of suicide, stepped into the light
He stood ready to fight

I called don't go
It's not the way that a man should go,
No, stand back and let it ride
You've already died, said you've already died
It's that bad feeling inside, yeah

Aiming low, he followed his hand
Gunslinger pose, classic stance
Bad glamour dream, into the sand
He fell to the floor
And he won't fight no more
He can't help being a bore

05. Power Supply

Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley, John Thomas
Don't wanna leave my electric house
My lover got electric bills
I won't die in an electric chair
My power is everywhere

Power supply

I am an independent man
A love generator is what I am
And I give another million watts
This power supply is hot

Power supply
Power supply

A magnetic personality
Soaking the duality
My power supply will be
My love for eternity

Power supply

06. Secrets In My Head

Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley, John Thomas
Secret in my head
Secret in my head

I get the feeling again
You don't believe it when I say
Sometimes each lonely day
Keeping these secrets in my head

If you could understand me
I would be drawn into your fire
But you could not relate
So I'm left with my desire

Someday I'll change my mind
Taking some action in my brain
Everything passed me by
I'll never be the same again
I have the same old feeling
That I was right in what I say
Sometimes each lonely day
Keeping these secrets in my head

07. Time To Remember

Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley, John Thomas
Time to remember, I can remember
The time has come to lift derision
The change has left a mark of persuasion
I can remember

Carrier of the great fire
I'm so sorry, I'm sorry
Carrier of the great fire
Give me one more chance, just one more

Time to remember, I can remember
You never thought the time would come
The shadowed cell has fallen down
I can remember

Carrier of the great fire
Please believe me and i'll know
Carrier of the great fire
Oh, you got to hear me, you got to know

Carrier of the great fire
Why just walk out, why not go?
Carrier of the great fire
Oh, you caught me out again

Carrier of the great fire
oh, it's my time to remember, and I know
Carrier of the great fire
I will cry again, I will try again

Carrier of the great fire
Oh, I need your help, I need your help
Carrier of the great fire
I can remember, I can remember

08. Crime Against The World

Music & lyrics by Burke Shelley, John Thomas
Get up, get out of bed
I'll wrap my fist right around your head
Shut up, sit down, sit tight
Interrogate you roaming in the night

Crime against the world
Crime against the world
I am against the world
Crime against the world

He comes down and out with his stuff
I don't cry baby even when it's tough
He's wise he knows he wants you
And if he takes you what you gonna do?
The world's full of these mystery men
Who turn up, drag out my brethren
It's ain't right, it's all wrong
The backside of a very shiny coin

Hey hey
Why won't you listen, won't you listen to me
Hey hey
You, i'll think he'll get you

I get you mad, I get you bad
It's the worst I've ever had
Let me out, let me be
I am a brave man going to be free
