Suburban Home so neat and clean she Hides her bruises so they wont be seen She hit that door again, such a clumsy girl Says she loves him needs him how could she have known Run just as fast as you can cos girl you're not alone There's nothing so bad that you cant talk about it Lift your head up to the sky, scream and shout it There's nothing so bad that you cant talk about You got the right to be safe Stick it right in his face He's in her room her private place Hands all over her hair and face She told him no, but he likes it rough Says it's our little secret, god I hope he's wrong Scream just as loud as you can cos girl you're not alone There's nothing so bad that you cant talk about it Lift your head up to the sky, scream and shout it There's nothing so bad that you cant talk about You got the right to be safe Stick it right in his face Green tiled floor, lots of sparkling chrome Lying naked on a trolley alone Till death we part, they made that solemn vow Pushed too far I guess she's free of him now There's nothing so bad that you cant talk about it Lift your head up to the sky, scream and shout it There's nothing so bad that you cant talk about You got the right to be safe Stick it right in his face There's nothing so bad that you cant talk about it Lift your head up to the sky, scream and shout it There's nothing so bad that you cant talk about You got the right to be safe Stick it right in his face

If I died tomorrow, would you remember me Would you be filled with sorrow, who would you want to see Do you think it's easy, would you feel out of place Or would it even bother you, if I ran my race Lowlife, born to run Lowlife, loyal to none Lowlife, ah you're just a lowlife If I left tomorrow, would you turn your head Would you notice I was gone, who'd be in your bed Would it break your heart, if I went away Or would it be, just another day Lowlife, born to run Lowlife, loyal to none Lowlife, ah you're just a lowlife Would it break your heart, if I decided to stay No questions, no answers, just another day Well that's not the way that I want it, just the way that it is You better wise up baby, this time I'm playing for keeps Lowlife, born to run Lowlife, loyal to none Lowlife, ah you're just a lowlife Lowlife, born to run Lowlife, loyal to none Lowlife, ah you're just a lowlife

He's a vindictive son of a bitch he's out to take your money And he wants to be rich, he'll try to take you honey But when the money runs out he wont be about When the money runs out. Running from your debtors, always trying to keep ahead It wont last forever, but the feeling never ends But when the money runs out he wont be about When the money runs out Well I have, I have no doubt, you'll be left running about He'll try to take you honey, and if I had my way Well it's off to big brother, gonna hassle your mother Gonna blow you away They'll be no more debt and no more checks, you'll never see him again.

He's an angry little man, all talk he'll take what he can Smoking bongs and off his head, just doing what the voices said On your feet or on your knees, don't you know everybody bleeds On your feet or on your knees, don't you know everybody bleeds He's a nasty little man, dribbling shit plays with his gland Toothless little trouble maker, carve you up if the law don't get you On your feet or on your knees, don't you know everybody bleeds On your feet or on your knees, don't you know everybody bleeds Horrid little parasite, total nutbag not contrite Into rehab off his head, just doing what the voices said On your feet or on your knees, don't you know everybody bleeds On your feet or on your knees, don't you know everybody bleeds

He's a law man from out of the east Looking for someone who needs to be finished Riding in the saddle armed to the teeth Get out of the way cos you're on the list Bad man, want to take ya Bad man, can't escape ya Bad man, lives on the edge Bad man, you'll end up dead Riding in the saddle forty days Riding through the red eyed misty haze Looking for the bad man to take him down Might be you if you stick around Bad man, want to take ya Bad man, can't escape ya Bad man, lives on the edge Bad man, you'll end up dead Finally gets to the lone star bar See's the bad man having a jar Calls him once calls him again Shots ring out someones dead Bad man, want to take ya Bad man, can't escape ya Bad man, lives on the edge Bad man, you'll end up dead Bad man, want to take ya Bad man, can't escape ya Bad man, lives on the edge Bad man, you'll end up dead

When I walk down the street, see the people who stop and stare and say Haven't I seen that face somewhere, a long time ago When I walk down the street, see the stranger who says why hi With a how you going buddy when you walk on by, I thought I'd say hello They say, haven't I seen your face before Weren't you the boy who used to live next door Weren't you on television every night Haven't I seen you round Take a look at me I'm yesterday's hero, yesterday's hero, It's all I'll be. Take a look at me I'm yesterday's hero, and yesterday's hero Is all that I'm gonna be if I don't get together Make a new start and be somebody better All that I'll be if I don't get together now. When you walk down the street, If you know me then pass me by If you wonder what I'm doing don't ask me why, I don't read the news When you walk down the street, If you're sorry then don't feel bad If you followed my story then just be glad, you aint in my shoes Because haven't you seen my face before Yes I was the boy who used to live next door Yes I was on television every night Haven't you seen me round Take a look at me I'm yesterday's hero, yesterday's hero, It's all I'll be. Take a look at me I'm yesterday's hero, and yesterday's hero Is all that I'm gonna be if I don't get together Make a new start and be somebody better All that I'll be if I don't get together now.

9.	Rat Town 02:56	lyrics	buy track
Driving out from home at 6am, wasting time all day and driving home again Working like a dog but I feel alright, everything is headed up to Friday night Go see the boys have a drink or two, doing all the things that we wanna do Go see a band gonna get right down, screaming out the chorus Rocking out in Rat Town My life it follows a normal trend, getting through the week to play up on the weekend Aint got it rough when there's an end in sight, slaving for the man up to Friday night Go see the boys have a drink or two, doing all the things that we wanna do Go see a band gonna get right down, screaming out the chorus Rocking out in Rat Town Go see the boys have a drink or two, doing all the things that we wanna do Go see a band gonna get right down, screaming out the chorus Go see the boys have a drink or two, doing all the things that we wanna do Go see a band gonna get right down, screaming out the chorus Rocking out in Rat Rocking out in Rat Rocking out in Rat Town.
