Price To Pay (Part 1)
07:55

|
When I was young, I made a mistake
I took a life with no shame
You thought it would be easy out here tonight
You made the sorriest mistake of your life
Look in the mirror
Who do you see?
A born and bred killer
This can’t be me!
Around every corner
Who do you see?
The Devil’s daughter
Is waiting for me
Threw my life down the drain
Knew I had nothing to gain
If only I’d done the right thing
Cards were drawn,
End game play but what
(Price to pay?)
[Chorus]
Price to pay
Price to pay...
I’ve done it again, I’ll do anything to stop it
My life’s a mess, does anybody care?
I’m moving away – off to sea
I’ll see you all in the end, yeah!
Price to pay
Price to pay...

Calling All Earthlings

Calling all Earthlings
On your planet down there
What do you see, do you hear?
In the nights, when you're sleeping in bed
What runs through your heads?
Your life is at risk, just follow me!
I’ve seen the problems from way up here
You think that you’re a normal race?
Listen to what I say!
Calling all Earthlings, can’t you hear me?
I'm your master, now don't resist!
Calling all Earthlings, I came down to warn you
You're only young, got lots to learn
Calling all Earthlings, ready or not
Board my ship – a sacrifice to the Gods!
I’m here to save you so follow me now
Beware though of the heathens!
Try and ignore my words
You'll never find a reason for life
Down there in your slums
Up here you’ll find all the answers
I’ll be your master
You my chosen ones
Together we’ll have second life
I’ve picked you loyal slaves
Now just sit back and obey
Calling all Earthlings, can't you hear me?
I am your master, do not resist
Calling all Earthlings, come to my house
You'll find the truth: I am the truth!
Calling all Earthlings, just come to praise me
I am your only chance of redemption!
Calling all Earthlings, the apocalypse is near!
I'm your everything! Fear me! Die!
Do you see me? I don't care...
I’m ready to destroy this Earth
There's a life out there just waiting for you
You’ve missed it now, you all must die
My chosen disciples choose to part
On All-Hallow’s Eve, we’ll tear apart
This sinning world you love so much
Will be destroyed and you were warned!
Dancing whilst on drugs and drink
Just like I did in the sixties!
Calling all Earthlings, too late to listen
I’m the messiah, feel my wrath!
Calling all Earthlings, ha ha ha ha
The spaceships ready, tonight we leave
Calling all Earthlings, you wanted saving?
Before I go, I’m going to execute you…
Calling all Earthlings, I am your nightmare
Not your mother, or your brother
Calling all Earthlings, why’ve you betrayed me?
I was your master, above all the laws
My minions deserted now I’m all a-lone
Do not look! Just because I am sixty two!

Look into the blue sky
Reminds you of an eye
Of one you used to love
When you could care enough
When you said your last goodbye
That must have been a lie
You see that I...
Everyday in the deep blue sky

Sex On Legs
03:01
|
|

|
Twas his first day, with the boys
The day was coming to an end
We packed into the showers where
I dropped the soap and had to bend… over!
Sex on legs,
Sex on legs!
He knew the rumours now were true
One year of service left – this was going to be hard!
He knew he couldn’t wash again
If he wanted to keep his bottom intact and avoid that chronic anal pain...
In the navy!
{Join The Navy}
I’d done my crimes and had one choice
Prison or the navy
A year would pass and I would live
Nobody to save me
Lessons were meant to be learnt
But nothing came of these
The time was a waste and now I was out
Reflect is all I can do…

The Hair!
06:04
|
|

|
When you find that the food isn’t nice
You’ve got nothing left to feel
Your heart’s ripped out, torn in half and burned
When you find
A hair on his head
It cannot be just cut off immediately
The hair isn’t allowed on the body
In the army
In the navy
The hair isn’t allowed on the body
In the army
In the navy
If they find a hair, in your food
You’re not allowed to explain
That’s life in the navy
Got no right in the navy
If you find a hair in your soup
You got nowhere to complain
That’s life in the navy
Got no right in the navy
Who you gonna call? Nobody
That’s life you take it as it is, fall in and out of loyalties
The hair,
Is detached from the body
Gets shaved from the body,
Oh the hair!
[Chorus]
Time goes so slow in constant pain
And there’s no getting out
That’s life in the navy
Got no right in the navy
You hide the hair in your soup
And remember home
Twelve months have passed you’ve got twelve more:
You got nothing left to fear!
When you find a hair on your head
You’re gonna get it cut off!
You’re not allowed no hair
If you find a hair in your food
Got nowhere to complain
In the army
and
Navy!
{Join The Navy}
And we all climbed aboard that boat
Man in man, hand in hand
We all climbed aboard that boat
Man in man, hand in hand
Nothing to care, nothing to fear
Nothing to get away from
Nothing to care, nothing to hear
Nothing to get away from apart from me
Apart from me
Got my life to spare
My life to spare
Nothings gonna happen, nothings gonna happen
Got my life to spare

In the navy
In the company
In the navy you’re on your own
But they still say, 'join the navy'
The navy is the only one
You’re just a pawn, you find yourself
Held under from the navy
You try get through to the army
And into the arms of a brutal bitch!
In the army there’s no pain
In the army you ain’t to blame
N. I. K. E. Now I kill thee
N. I. K. E. How I hate thee
N. I. K. E.
N. I. K. E.

Price To Pay (Part 2)

|
|

|
{Join The Navy}
Out at sea, we went to war
Every man, rich and poor
Shot down one-by-one
Two-by-two, three-by-three
But they couldn’t be saved!
Look in the mirror – who do you see?
A born and bred killer? – this cannot be me
Around every corner – who do you see?
The Devil’s daughter, is waiting for me
You won’t break me down
I’m around now and you
Have sung for the last time
I take my eye off the ball ‘cos
You won’t break me down
I’m around now and you
Have sung for the last time
I take my eye off the ball ‘cos
You won’t break me down
[Chorus]
Price to pay...
