01. Shellshock

Wakey, wakey

Hated you for far too long
You're just so damn polite
You've been screaming shouting all night long
That you we've gotta get wrecked tonight

I don't know when to stop
I just can't get enough
Shellshock!

It's getting late in the evening
I can't wait to turn the lights out
Come down from the ceiling
Don't stop just burn me out

I don't know when to stop
I just can't get enough
Shellshock!

Some of the things you do
I just don't understand
But those strange things that you do
Must mean I'm going mad

I don't know when to stop
I just can't get enough
Shellshock!

Those strange things that you give to me
You give me Shellshock!

02. Struck By Lightning

All I got for Christmas was a loaded gun
That's alright if you wanna shoot someone
But I've only got one bullet
I'm bored of this, and tired of that
I got to find someone I can shoot at
I ain't got the guts to do it

She's ugly, stupid, drunk and almost blind
I don't think that she would really mind
If I described her as unfit for mankind

Struck by lightning
She's up there from midnight to dawn, waiting for a storm
Struck by lightning
She's up there from midnight to dawn, waiting for a storm

Well she wants lightning, and she got some
In 22 years she never had no fun
There ain't nothing to it
I can hear her through the ceiling
I can hear the neighbors cheering
They must have put her up to it

She's ugly, she's stupid, drunk and almost blind
I don't think that she would really mind
If I described her as unfit for mankind

Struck by lightning
She's up there from midnight to dawn waiting for a storm
Struck by lightning
She's up there from midnight to dawn waiting for a storm

All I got for Christmas was a loaded gun
That's alright if you wanna shoot someone
But I've only got one bullet
I'm bored of this, and tired of that
I got to find someone I can shoot at
I ain't got the guts to do it

She's ugly, stupid, drunk and almost blind
I don't think that she would really mind
If I described her as unfit for mankind

Struck by lightning
She's up there from midnight to dawn waiting for a storm
Struck by lightning
She's up there from midnight to dawn waiting for a storm

03. Run Like Hell

Yeah!!! Roll me over and let me see
I wanna watch them suffer
All these people lookin' down at me
It really make me shudder

They won't explain
How their face doesn't look quite the same
Just who is to blame?
We'll be hiding just before they take aim

Run Like Hell
They're comin' at me again
Run Like Hell
They're lookin' at me again
Run Like Hell

Be a hero, you romantic fool
What makes you so special?
Show off your medal you brought back from school
A worthless piece of metal

They won't explain
How their face doesn't look quite the same
Just who is to blame?
We'll be hiding just before they take aim

Run Like Hell
They're comin' at me again
Run Like Hell
They're lookin' at me again
Run like Hell
Run Run Run Run Run Run

Cross the border to the land of the free
You still think it's clever?
To let them keep on torturing me
I just hope I never

See you alone
When you're walkin' the streets on your own, your own
Just leave me alone
You'll be dead long before you get home

Run Like Hell
They're comin' at me again
Run Like Hell
They're lookin' at me again
Run like Hell
Run Run Run Run Run Run
Run Like Hell
Run Run Run Run Run Run

04. Blood, Guts And Beer

Blood, Guts and Beer

I got a friend real close to me
With the biggest plane you've ever seen
And he likes to use it quite a lot

Just look around and you will see
Why he isn't scared to me
Just tell him when to stop

What's inside me?
Blood, Guts and Beer

If you wonder why he don't look pleased
He just caught that new disease
Said "she's coming back to me" but now she's not

Well she finally says to me
Well we'll just have to see
How long it takes for skin to rot

What's inside me?
Blood, Guts and Beer
Blood, Guts and Beer
Blood, Guts and Beer

When he broke down in tears
I just couldn't believe my ears
I could've used a mirage

I gotta get out, you gotta get out
All right I gotta get out
You gotta get out tonight

What's inside me?
Blood, Guts and Beer
Blood, Guts and Beer
Blood, Guts and Beer

What's inside me?
Blood, Guts and Beer
Blood, Guts and Beer
Blood, Guts and Beer

05. That's What Dreams Are Made Of

Love is like dragging your balls across barbed wire
She rehearses every day from a hang glider
She had a wrestling bout with a trope of local sea scouts
Got them all in a pool of mud
All the time wearing boxing gloves
You can hear them crying from the third floor above

That's what dreams are made of

She wears pit boots, woodbines and loves being dirty
Her bank manager plays dog says wood and don't hurt me
You've seen her magazines how the hell does she keep her teeth clean
Doing something that's loosely termed love
All the time wearing boxing gloves
She's got the cheek to say she's on a mission from God

That's what dreams are made of

You've seen her magazines how the hell does she keep her teeth clean
Doing something that's loosely termed love
All the time wearing boxing gloves
She's got the cheek to say she's on a mission from God

That's what dreams are made of

06. Turn Your Head Around

I can really safely say
That you''re still alive
One thing they can''t take away
Is your will to survive

I know I won''t believe it
I know I won''t believe it
They say you can''t be found
This man is better off dead

They want to turn your head around
Turn your head around
Turn your head around
Turn your head around

How can they leave you lying there
Hiding from the lights
They don''t know and they couldn''t care
They''ll be dead by tonight

Someone''s made a big mistake
I can''t believe my ears
Just how long will this thing take
Give him days, months and years

07. Heavy Artillery

Yeah it's breaking out all over the world
And like flies they're dropping
Invading here would be absurd
But once they start there's no stopping

There's no use holding your head in your hands
It won't go away
Soon you'll wake up and you'll be a man
That's what the handbook says

These are your orders, you must obey
Heavy Artillery, Heavy Artillery, Heavy Artillery

Too bad, too bad they got what they wanted
Without even trying
I'm so glad, so glad the signals got busted
Without someone dying

There's no use holding your head in your hands
It won't go away
Soon you'll wake up and you'll be a man
That's what the handbook says

These are your orders, you must obey

It's breaking out all over the world
And like flies they're dropping
Invading here would be absurd
But once they start there's no stopping

There's no use holding your head in your hands
It won't go away
Soon you'll wake up and you'll be a man
That's what the handbook says

These are your orders, you must obey
Heavy Artillery, Heavy Artillery, Heavy Artillery

08. Who Needs Love Songs

I'm putting my heart and soul into a song
And I know that it won't belong
A sound real clever, to numb someone
To listen up to what I've done
I tried and tried but it's still the same
It's still the illusion, the same old game
No matter what I do, it still comes back to you

Do you think I'm stupid or what?
Last night someone broke my heart and it kicked me in the guts

Who needs love songs?
Who needs love songs?
Who needs love songs?
I do!

I'm putting my heart and soul into a song
And I know that it won't belong
A sound real clever, to numb someone
To listen up to what I've done
I tried and tried but it's still the same
It's still the illusion, the same old game
No matter what I do, it still comes back to you

Do you think I'm stupid or what?
Last night someone broke my heart and it put me in the ruts

Who needs love songs?
Who needs love songs?
Who needs love songs?
Who needs love songs?
Who needs love songs?
Who needs love songs?
I do!

09. Filth Hounds Of Hades

They come out of the woodwork
Every time that we're around
When we play some crumbling ruin
They help us to bring it down

They're the ones with their hands up
The ones that never let us go
They'd rather sell their mothers
Than miss the gig in Glasgow

They'll be there
Shane, Mick and Flash out there somewhere
They'll be there
Shane, Mick and Flash out there somewhere

Where are the Filth Hounds

They do all the hard work for us
All we do is stand up here
They know all the words and every chorus
Shout them out loud clear

Out there somewhere
Are some people we'll soon get to know
Some more people who'll sell their mothers
Than miss the gig in Glasgow

They'll be there
Shane, Mick and Flash out there somewhere
They'll be there
Shane, Mick and Flash out there somewhere

Where are the Filth Hounds
Where are the Filth Hounds
Where are the Filth Hounds...

10. (He Fell In Love With A) Stormtrooper

Why does everybody laugh?
They just won't understand
When she walks down the street
Why they're tearing apart
A poor broken heart
She's the nicest woman you could meet

She don't know what he's supposed to be fighting for
She don't know that it's the last thing he'll say to this world

He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper

He's always spewing his guts out
He knows it won't stop
He always gets the bottlebut not the last drop
He gets out of the sun and the enemy lines
But no one knows what he does between the landmines

He don't know what he's supposed to be fighting for
He don't know that it's the last thing he'll say to this world you bet'cha

He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper

Yes he did, yes he did

Why does everybody laugh?
They just won't understand
When she walks down the street
Why they're tearing apart
A poor broken heart
She's the nicest woman you could meet

She don't know what he's supposed to be fighting for
She don't know that it's the last thing he'll say to this world

He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper
