Samson - Head On lyrics



Tracks



01. Hard Times

Gotta bar lean I'm looking mean,
I need a drink I've gotta drink to think,
You say I'm drunk but that's me in the mirror,
Looking for a fight who says
Come and hit me falling to the ground
Knee me in the groin won't make a sound
Head over heels for a fight with you,
I'm gonna teach you a trick or two

You know, in my life, I've been a fighting man,
Hard times, hit me, now I'm going down,

You know, in my life, I've been a fighting man,
Hard times, hit me, now I'm going

Now I'm going down
Back to the wall and out for the count
Rock and reel, do you know how I feel?
Swim in swinging I'm blind as an eel
Don't you push ‘cos I'm coming back,
You come and hit me falling to the ground
You knee me in the groin won't make a sound,
Head over heels for a fight with you,
I'm gonna teach you a trick or two

You know, in my life, I've been a fighting man,
Hard times, hit me, now I'm going

02. Take It Like A Man

Leading me on, you've been a bad, bad boy,
Betcha since you've been a kid you've been a mama's toy
I'm gonna teach you, you're going to learn,
Don't fool with me, I'm gonna make you burn

Little boy blue, take off your shoe,
Just come a little closer so my aim is true
I don't wanna do it gonna make you hop,
It's hurting me, is it hurting you?

Take it like a man, gonna do it all I can

Take it like a man, gonna do it all I can

Touch of the lash, you gotta discipline rash,
Six of the best bust, my leather strap,
I’m the master and you’re the slave,
Bend over son, your gonna be saved

03. Vice Versa

She was a real two timer,
She knew I'd never leave,
She thought that she could make it,
I could never believe,
She looked so healthy,
And she looked so clean,
But when she got to bite you,
Was she mean

Vice Versa

She could roll you over,
And make you blind,
She could say things to astound,
The dirtiest mind,
She looked so healthy,
And she looked so clean,
But when she got to bite you,
Was she mean

Vice Versa

04. Manwatcher

Peeking at you, looking at you through the wall,
Wanting you, your body looking so small,
Teasing me, saying you are gonna do it,
Touching me, loving me and lead me to it,
Anytime, you wanna lay me come and fetch it,
Pretty tight, money maker never gets it

Say you will, I'll welcome you to my place,
Come inside, helping me to get it out,
Open up, let me in I'm knocking for you,
Looking out, no-one about to call for you
Get it up, walking out in early morning,
Time to go, can I come again tomorrow

Hold tight take the reins,
Pushing harder feel the pain

Manwatcher - it's alright

Manwatcher - came tonight

Manwatcher - take the blame

Manwatcher - on the game

05. To Close To Rock

We had you trained, to be so classical
And you learned to play the guitar at school,
But now we've caught you, you've been playing the fool,
We don't think your musical taste is cool
Too close to rock and roll,

I paid for the teacher so I own your soul
Move out of the house, you can't use the car,
You spend your lectures just drinking in the college bar,
You don't wanna get a job, you won't get far
Pretty soon you're gonna come home gonna need your Ma and Pa
Too close to rock and roll,

I paid for the teacher so I own your soul

Too close to
Too close to
Too close to
Rock and roll

06. Thunderburst

[Instrumental]

07. Hammerhead

A story is told, that in Asgard of old,
Was a hammer of great might
By the furnace light in the depth of night
They cast an ingot bold

Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind

They hammered and wrought and the rune spell caught
And engraved upon its shaft,
With a head of steel beneath which all men would kneel,
And would lay down the sword, at last

Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind

They laid on the anvil, a steel cold bar,
Needed no fire nor file
But their sledgehammers following, like thunder rolled
And Sindre, sang runes by the fire

Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind

08. Hunted

I'm the lion, king of the jungle,
Following my food home,
Hunting around for some real life,
Don't want to know where any fool knows

Nobody understands me,
Don't talk to me I can't see,
You‘re nailing my brain to a tree,
Why can't you just let me be

If I wrote these words on paper,
You would strangle them in your hands,
Then sail on in your burning boats,
Into your promised land

Nobody understands me,
Don't talk to me I can't see,
You‘re nailing my brain to a tree,
Why can't you just let me be

09. Take Me To Your Leader

Comin‘ down to earth
And smiling ‘cos you know, I know
The mother ship has left you
Bleeding in the cold
I need a revelation
Open up and come with me
Take me to your leader
Got a problem, want it solved

Watcher of the skies
Look into my eyes
Watcher of the skies
Look into my eyes

I'm lookin‘ around and I wanna be up there
I'm lookin‘ around and I wanna be up there

You taught me how to fly
I'm getting high, I wanna cry
I can feel your saucers
Burn into my soul
I need a revelation
Open up and come with me
Take me to your leader
Got a problem, want it solved

Watcher of the skies
Look into my eyes
Watcher of the skies
Look into my eyes

I'm lookin‘ around and I wanna be up there
I'm lookin‘ around and I wanna be up there

Going home tonight
To bathe in everlasting light
The image in the starlight
Burns into my brain
I knew your astral plain
Was layin‘ down the way for me
Take me to your leader
Got a problem, want it solved

Watcher of the skies
Look into my eyes
Watcher of the skies
Look into my eyes

I'm lookin‘ around and I wanna be up there
I'm lookin‘ around and I wanna be up there

10. Walking Out On You

Walking out on you
Walking out on you

Easy Chairs, and an easy life
That's what I want from you,
Just one rich bitch, for an easy wife,
Don't wanna do nothing new

Walking out on you
Walking out on you

Loving you, came so easily,
When you laid your money down,
Wouldn't bite the hand, that was, feeding me,
Until you'd pay for my crown

Walking out on you

Living free, came so easily,
When you laid your body down,
I led the way, and you, gave to me
Everything you ever had

Walking out on you
Walking out on you
