Exhuming Mccarthy
Youre beautiful more beautiful than me
Youre honorable more honorable than me
Loyal to the bank of america
Its a sign of the times
Its a sign of the times
Youre sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.
Sharpening stones, walking on coals,
To improve your business acumen.
Vested interest united ties, landed gentry rationalize
Look who bought the myth, by jingo, buy america
Its a sign of the times
Its a sign of the times
Youre sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.
Sharpening stones, walking on coals,
To improve your business acumen.
Enemy sighted, enemy met, Im addressing the realpolitik
Look who bought the myth, by jingo, buy america
let us not assassinate this man further senator,
Youve done enough. have you no sense of decency, sir?
At long last, have you left no sense of decency?
Youre sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.
Sharpening stones, walking on coals,
To improve your business acumen.
Enemy sighted, enemy met, Im addressing the realpolitik
Youve seen start and youve seen quit
(Im addressing the table of content)
I always thought of you as quick
Exhuming mccarthy
(meet me at the book burning)
Exhuming mccarthy

Walking Through Fire
When you set a match to your heart
Fueling it with bitterness and doubt
Thats a blaze that once it starts
No amount of tears can put out
I know youre scared
But no ones spared
When you play with matches
Youve got me walking through fire
Youve got me walking through fire
Maybe youve been burned by lovers
Maybe youve been scarred by the pain
But baby Im not like the others
Drawing moths to a flame
Spite is like a spark
Crackling in the dark
Consuming all it catches
And youve got me walking through fire
Youve got me walking through fire to get to you
Youve got me walking through fire
(walking through fire)
Youve got me walking through fire
(walking through fire)
You can see the toll its taking
You can feel the faith its shaking
You can hear the heart its breaking now
Baby Ive burned by the fever
Ive been scorched by desire
But baby Im not your deceiver
Or your eloquent liar
Your jealous heart is tearing us apart
And turning love to ashes
When youve got me walking through fire
Youve got me walking through fire to get to you
Youve got me walking through fire
Youve got me walking through fire
Youve got me walking through fire
(walking through fire)
Youve got me walking through fire
(walking through fire)
As the flames shoot higher
Youve got me walking through fire
(walking through fire)

Walking the floor on my hands over you
I just cant believe what youre trying to do
Spinning around and around and you know im
Walking the floor on my hands over you
Walking the floor on my hands over you
I just cant believe what youve been trying to do
Spinning around and around and you know im
Walking the floor on my hands over you
Everybody wants somebody
And I can make it just for you
Wont you tell me please tell me
What youre trying to do
Everybody says you want me
Baby Im not too sure
Just what youve been doing
It should be against the law
Walking the floor on my hands over you
I just cant believe what youre trying to do
Spinning around and around and you know im
Walking the floor on my hands over you
Well you got me
I dont know whats going down
Tell me where you want me
And put me back on the ground
Everybody says you want me
Baby Im not too sure
Just what youve been doing
It should be against the law
Walking the floor on my hands over you
I just cant believe what youre trying to do
Spinning around and around and you know im
Walking the floor on my hands over you
Walking the floor on my hands over you
I just cant believe what youre trying to do
Spinning around and around and you know im
Walking the floor on my hands over you

Walking Across Blazing Hot Coals
Walking across blazing hot coals,
Has to be easier to do...
Than to tell a mob of people the truth,
About anything.
Especially if they have been fed beliefs,
They are entitled to everything.
Even making attempts to do it...
They will immediately threaten to burn their season passes,
To a local amusement park that employs most of them.
Try to confront people like this with the telling of the truth,
And everything they have ever known...
They will reduce to rubble to leave chaos and trouble,
With demands to have their fantasies left intact.
As well as their biases against others from which they thieve.
Walking across blazing hot coals,
Has to be easier to do...
Than to tell a mob of people the truth,
About anything.
Especially if they have been fed beliefs,
They are entitled to everything.
And promised!

When You Close Your Eyes
(carly simon/billy mernit)
When you close your eyes do you see
White lorelei, shes a dream
Shes not half as magic as she seems
But shes so much fun to be with
When you close your eyes do you see
Places that youve never seen
Yet youve been there
Youve been walking on the edges of a dream
And youre so much fun to be with
Big surprise, youve been informed youre not asleep
Hard as you try you were never really meant to weep
When you close your door with a sign
Do not disturd, are you disturbed to find
That its just as magic as it feels
And youre so much fun to be with

Zoo Gorilla
Zoo Gorilla
There was a big, bright ape at a zoo in Sweden who
disliked being looked at when walking about in his
enclosure minding his own business. To get visitors
to move on he threw stones at them. Bad ape, bad
for business the wise zoo administration concluded.
A tranquilizer dart flew through the air and the ape
was rendered emasculated; one cannot have hostile
apes at a zoo, they should behave like cuddly giants.
Visitors who go to the big ape's enclosure, a at zoo
in an arctic town not too far from of Stockholm, do
not stay long; nothing much to see other than a fat
primate that only sits there and eats bananas.

Dont You
I could tear your walls down as I chip at who you are now
Dont you
You ever let me know how
And I could break your heart down as I tell you that youve burned out
Dont you
You want to let it go
Oh, I might scream and shout now as I feel you pressing down on
Dont you
You walk upon my heels now
You walk on
And I should call your soul out but I feel Ive gained control now
Dont you
You tell me what to do as you
You twist and turn your thoughts around
Oh, this road its getting long
Stones, dont you
Theyre getting harder and youre slipping slowly further
Youre slipping slowly further
Youre slipping further than youve been before
But I dont need to know how
And I dont need to blow out your candle
Its only burning at both ends
But your moods they wash away
No need to dose your eyes today
You just take your
Your deeper breath youre going
Your deeper breath youre going
Under this time
Its under this time
You, youve got to go now
Wont you, youve got to go not
And dont you, you know it
Dont you, you know it
Youve got to go now
Dont you, youve gotta go now

Attitude
You go down the pub
You wear make up
And old dads trousers
Why dont you tidy up
You talk like a docker but you act like a queer
You drink champagne then complain its too dear
You try so hard not to follow any trends
Then you cry in your beer and say youve got no friends
But is it any wonder that youve got no friends
But its not the make up
Or the way you dress
Its not your appearance, that they all detest
Its not your manners, that you gotta improve
Ooooo--its your attitude.
Chorus
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
Take off your head phones
Hear whats going on
You cant live in a time zone
Youve gotta move on
But before you get there
Theres one thing youve gotta do
Oh change your attitude
Its your attitude
Its your attitude
Chorus
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
The 80s are here, I know cuz Im staring right at them
But youre still waiting for 1960 to happen
You might have the illness, but youve got the cure
Youve got the answer, you will endure
Youre the only person thats gonna pull you through
Ooh, with your attitude
Chorus
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
You gotta learn to be positive, its your only chance
You mustnt be so defensive, you gotta join in the dance
But it isnt your dancing that youve gotta improve
Ooh, its your attitude.
Chorus
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
Its all the music
Its all in your brain
Youve used all the old licks
Now its all gotta change.
Change your attitude
Its your attitude

When I was down, you came to me
And promised youd always be
By my side, now youre gone
And Im waiting patiently

Well be together a long time

Youve got the beach boys, and your firms got the stones
But I know you wont leave me alone
Sometimes it seems youre not with me
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much
You are the most, youre so rad, youre so fresh
And Im glad I am yours, you are mine
Show me where and I will sign

Walking On Thin Ice
(d. pickerill/p. odonoughue)
Verse 1:
Youre walking on thin ice
Youll have to pay the price
You just dont listen
You never take advice
But Ive got to warn you
Youd better heed my mind
While you walk on thin ice
Im right behind
Youre treading a tight-rope
You know youre going to fall
You just dont listen
Think you can have it all
But Ive got to tell you
Youd better heed my mind
While you walk that tight-rope
Im right behind
Youre walking on thin ice
Youll have to pay the price
Youre treading a tight-rope
You know youre going to fall
Youre running a fine line
Youve never got the time
Youre walking on thin ice (x3)
Youre running a fine line
Youre never got the time
To find out what youre missing
I tell you its a crime
So Ive got to warn you
Youd better heed my mind
While you run the fine line
Im right behind
Verse 1
Youre walking on thin ice (x4)
Walking on, youre walking on thin ice
Thin ice, youre walking on it
Thin ice.

22 Acacia Avenue
(the continuing saga of charlotte the harlot)
(harris/smith)
If youre feeling down depressed and lonely
I know a place where we can go
22 acacia avenue meet a lady that I know
So if youre looking for a good time
And youre prepared to pay the price
Fifteen quid is all she asks for
Everybodys got their vice
If youre waiting for a long time for the rest to do their piece
You can tell her that you know me and you might even get it free
So any time youre down the east end dont you hesitate to go
You can take my honest word for it shell teach you more than you can know
Charlotte cant you get out from all this madness
Cant you see it only brings you sadness
When you entertain your men dont know the risk of getting disease
Some day when youre reaching the age of forty
I bet youll regret the days when you were laying
Nobody then will want to know
You wont have any beautiful wares to show any more
22, the avenue thats the place where we all go
You will find its warm inside the red lights burning bright tonight
Charlotte isnt it time you stopped this mad life
Dont you ever think about the bad times
Why do you have to live this way
Do you enjoy your lay or is it the pay
Sometimes when your strolling down the avenue
The way you walk it make men think of having you
When youre walking down the street
Everybody stops and turns to stare at you
Beat her mistreat her do anything that you please
Bite her excite her make her get down on her knees
Abuse her misuse her she can take all that youve got
Caress her molest her she always does what you want
Youre running away dont you know what youre doing
Cant you see itll lead you to ruin
Charlotte youve taken your life and youve thrown it away
You believe that because what youre earning
Your lifes good dont you know that youre hurting
All the people that love you dont cast them aside
All the men that are constantly drooling
Its no life for you stop all that screwing
Youre packing your bags and youre coming with me

Children Of The Damned
(harris)
Hes walking like a small child
But watch his eyes burn you away
Black holes in his golden stare
God knows he wants to go home
Children of the damned
(repeat another 3 times)
Hes walking like a dead man
If he had lived he would have crucified us all
Now hes standing on the last step
He thought oblivion well it beckons us all
Children of the damned
(repeat another 3 times)
Now it burns his hand hes turning to laugh
Smiles as the flame sears his flesh
Melting his face screaming in pain
Peeling the skin from his eyes
Watch him die according to plan
Hes dust on the ground what did we learn
Youre children of the damned
Your backs against the wall
You turn into the light
Youre burning in the night
Youre children of the damned
Like candles watch them burn
Burning in the light
Youll burn again tonight
Youre children of the damned

Awesome or awful
Thou art my friend and yet my foe.
Thou praiseth me dishonestly.
Why is that thou acteth so
Art thou afraid of hurting me?
An enemy who honestly
declares my work is full of flaws.
Helps to improve my poetry
and thus adopts a wiser course.
Although he may show prejudice.
Attacking my attempts at verse
and show no sign of compromise
Methinks your flattery is worse.
I take both with a pinch of salt
and still improve though by default.

Sign Of The Times
Heading for the classroom yesterday
The kids file through the metal machine
It finds what they may hide
No it just aint right...
A sign of the times
Another church is burning to the ground...
Looking for the vandals and theyre nowhere to be found
But the hates alive
A sign of the times, sign of the times...
A sign of the times, sign of the times...
(accoustic break)
Would someone please let me know how we have spun out of control?
Has the captain let go of the wheel?
Or could we please try to find a way to be a bit more kind?
I see the road to tomorrow in the haze!

On the senate floor they congregate
Many pockets lined with green,
From those behind the scenes, yeah they take the bribe ( its on the side )

Mean Business
(coverdale/moody/marsden/murray/dowle)
Youre taking a walk on the wild side
If youre gonna take a chance with me,
Im gonna make you take a look on the inside
And you might not like what you see
So dont you knock on my door
If you dont want an answer
Or gimme a beat
If you dont want a dancer
Ive got my love gun loaded,
Ive got you in my sight,
I never take no for an answer,
So youd better say yes tonight
I told you the score
Right from the start,
Youll never get to heaven
If you break my heart
So if you dont mean business
Knock on someone elses door,
cos its a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me
You say you want my money,
I say youve got no sense,
If you just want to bleed me dry
Stay on your side of the fence
No mercy you can see
cos seven to eleven made a fool out of me
So if you dont mean business
Knock on someone elses door,
cos its a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me
Youre taking a walk on the wild side
If youre gonna take a chance with me,
Im gonna make you take a look on the inside
And you might not like what you see
So dont you knock on my door
If you dont want an answer
Or gimme a beat

Want To
Baby, youre only a sleeping beauty for a little while
Hoping no prince heats up your day
That you can be ionely all this time in unbelievable
Playing deaf and dumb, just afraid
Chorus:
Gotta be high when youre walking an fire
If you want to
Gotta be cool when youre breaking the rules
Because you want to
Gotta be strong, really got to move on
I know you want to
Gotta be true, you do what you do
Because you want to
Dont cha want to
And you wanna babe
I know you
Go with your urges, holding back is just a puppy show
You dont need so be-bop to play
Whatever you think your friends might say is immaterial
What they dont know might show you the way
Chorus:
Gotta be high when youre walking on fire
If you wart to
Gotta be cool when youre breaking the rules
Because you want to
Gotta be strong, yeah you carry on
I know you wart to
Gotta be true, you do what you do
Because you want to
Dont cha want to
You know you want to
Because it feels right
Because it wont bite
Now that youve found your way around, you want to run to me
Hey dont waste no time
See that sleeping beauty waking up beside-a me
Making me feel so good just to see you smile
Chorus: (repeat)
Gotta desire when youre walking on fire
I know you want to
Gotta be free when youre walking with me
Dont you want to
Maybe its time to do what you do
Because you want to
Gotta be high when youre walking on fire
Dont cha want to
