1.SILVER SCREEN (drew)

yeah i know that the sound of hollywood makes you feel so good
it makes you wanna come alive
so cmon & bring your dreams & your pride well tear out your insides
youll be lucky to survive
well if you wanna taste dirt & you wanna feel grime
we can jump the cue, go to the front of the line
& well enter the horror of your darkest dreams
a place where your soul is torn apart at the seems

so why do they call it a silver
why do they call it a silver
why do they call it a silver screen
take me, make me, yeah cmon and break me
you can show me what it means
buy me, lie to me, dont try to justify to me
cause it costs more than it seems
to be on the silver screen

take a walk along the boulevard we can see all the stars that fill your life with dreams
if you want i`ll introduce you fool tīwhere the boy gets the girl
up on the silver screen
but some end up in porn & some doing dope, selling their ass or on the end of a rope
yeah theres crack gangs and trash in a zillion bars
we are all down in the gutter but we`re reaching for the stars

so why do they call it a silver
why do they call it a silver
why do they call it a silver screen
take me, make me, yeah cmon and break me
cmon and show me what it means
buy me lie to me dont try to justify to me
cause it costs more than it seems
to be on the silver screen

so why do they call it a silver
why do they call it a silver
why do they call it a silver screen
take me, make me, yeah cmon and break me
cmon and show me what it means
buy me lie to me dont try to justify to me
cause it costs more than it seems

well if i aint worth nothing and time is all i got
i`ll give you all i have you can take the fucking lot
cause i want you to make me feel like i got something to say
if you take my head and put it on the screen
& control the myths & a poor boys dreams
then maybe the world wont seem as bad as what i`ve seen
since i`ve been on the silver screen

 

 

 

2.LIKE WHEN YOU USED TO KNOW ME  (drew)

3. IN MY MIND(drew)

in my mind i see the things that got me burning out of time in my mind

4. DRIVING ME INSANE (drew)

hey what`s goin on here, i`m loosing track of things
& no that aint right somehow, aint i the one that always wins

cause you`re driving me insane
yeah you`re driving me insane inside this cage of steel
take you`re place behind the wheel
collision as our worlds collide
aint nothing like that song called Joyride


well you`re tailgating with slicks on in the rain   a demolition derby, like a ram raid on my brain

cause you`re driving me insane
yeah you`re driving me insane inside this cage of steel
take you`re place behind the wheel
collision as our worlds collide
aint nothing like that song called Joyride
 
put yourself behind the wheel locked inside this cage of steel
you `re driving me insane
wheels locked in face to face, deathrace that i can`t escape
cause your driving me insane

well you`re tailgating and all i hear is noise
if i was a MAC with a bullbar then maybe I would have a voice

cause you`re driving me insane
yeah you`re driving me insane inside this cage of steel
take you`re place behind the wheel
collision as our worlds collide
aint nothing like that song called Joyride

cause you`re driving me insane
cause you`re driving me insane
coz you`re driving me, you`re driving me, you`re driving me yo
cause you`re driving me insane
insane

 

 

5. LUST IS THE DRUG (creed)

I never busted out no way,  I was always in a rut itīs OK

My life was so bullshit but I stayed, I feel Iīm down in a crypt today, today, today

I was a nervouse young kid but I played, I never really exist when Iīm laid,

A curse is down on my head a parade of fools go round in my head

Itīs a plague, a plague, a plague

 

I know you think that Iīm easy prey, Itīs not the way that I wanted to be

lust is the drug that is doinīit to me, doinīit to me yeah

I must be turning into a freak my eyes are green and my knees are weak

lust is the drug that is doinīit to me, doinīit to me yeah

one day, one day, one day

one day, one day, one day

 

I know you think that Iīm easy prey, Itīs not the way that I wanted to be

6. TRASHBOY (creed)

I am a certified maniac, it keeps the motherfuckers off my back

And all the shit that keeps surrounding me, I deal with it so easily

I never felt so strong, I never felt so wrong

I know my brainwaves are a mystery, it keeps ém guessing whatīs so wrong with me

I got a headache that is fit to burst and you will see me when Iīm at my worst

I never felt so raw and now I know the score

I never felt so cheap, now you read ém and weep

 

Iīm just a trashboy on the job, and now I wanna wreck it up

Iīm na uneducated slob, yīknow I wanna wreck it up

Na international calling card, I wanna wanna fuck you up

Iīm just a trashboy on the JOB JOB JOB JOB

Fuck it up

 

an international man of mystery, thatīs what the fuckers keep a calling me

A parasite upon their decency, a loaded weapon and a magazine

I never felt so crazed, I never felt so amazed

So keep on trying to come down on me, I wonīt give up too easily

A bloodied hand and a massive blow, donīt fuck me up Iīll let you know

I never felt so raw and now I know the score

I never felt so cheap, now you read ém and weep

Iīm just a trashboy on the job, and now I wanna wreck it up

Iīm na uneducated slob, yīknow I wanna wreck it up

Na international calling card, I wanna wanna fuck you up

Iīm just a trashboy on the JOB JOB JOB JOB

Fuck it up

 

 

7. NOTHING TO SAY(creed)

Walking thru the streets just the other day Was I looking for direction I could not say

Feeling outta step running with the herd  Seeking conversation but could think of no words

 

To say to anyone hey baby

I was lost but can be found Yeah maybe

Pick me up and take me home Sweet lady

You know you could be anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone

 

Walking thru the streets in this grey grey city but sometimes the lights donīt seem so pretty

Couldnīt escape the lights in my mind, now it seems even harder to find

 

To say to anyone hey baby

I was lost but can be found Yeah maybe

Pick me up and take me home Sweet lady

You know you could be anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone

 

So I take another shot of inspiration looking for some solace in sedation

The hardest part is facing the pain and sorrow, the best part of living is just seeing tomorrow

 

To say to anyone hey baby

I was lost but can be found Yeah maybe

Pick me up and take me home Sweet lady

You know you could be anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone

 

 

 

8.SUPERSONIC (creed)

I learned quite young to be moronic, my folks canīt see why I am cronic

Itīs no surprise that I wanna be , misguided just like they said Iīd be

Bad rocking noise is just the tonic,

 it fills me up like a high colonic

 

I donīt just wanna be a wanna be, I missed my calling oh canīt you see

Just want my cape and underwear and fly thru the air.....

And be supersonic, supersonic

 

A superheroes life I want it, to save the world and be rewarded

Itīs no surprise that Iīm flying round but in my head I donīt touch the ground

Iīll get the girl and she will want it,

I keep my identity a secret  cause itīll give me away

 

I donīt just wanna be a wanna be, I missed my calling oh canīt you see

Just want my cape and underwear and fly thru the air.....

And be supersonic, supersonic

 

I learned quite young to be moronic, my folks canīt see why I am cronic

Itīs no surprise that I wanna be , misguided just like they said Iīd be

Bad rocking noise is just the tonic,

 it fills me up like a high colonic

 

I donīt just wanna be a wanna be, I missed my calling oh canīt you see

Just want my cape and underwear and fly thru the air.....

And be supersonic, supersonic

 

 

9.THE WORLD IS A GHETTO (drew)


if for every dark cloud theres a silverlining
then for every neon light theres a child starving
theres hustlers & gangsters & thugs & police
most places aint safe to walk on the streets
cause we live in a world where crimes on the rise
and poverty aint in no state of decline
yeah we live in a world where kids are raised on the streets
and sleep in the gutter with no food to eat


the world is a ghetto
the world is a ghetto
the world is a ghetto
just take a look wherever you go


from rio to LA across to New York
from London to Berlin and Johanesburg
theres slums & favellas & shanty towns
greed from us all brings the whole world down
from Sydney to Bankok & Across to Tokyo
theres cardboard cities wherever you go
from Delhi to Moscow and Beirute too
dont turn your back whatever you do


the world is a ghetto
the world is a ghetto
the world is a ghetto
just take, just take a look, just take a look, a look wherever you go go go


were all hiding away cause we`re scared of the poor
& everywhere y`look they got some kind of war
ethnic cleansing for their nations pride
that aint cleansing, its bullshit, man thats genocide
and itīs getting like Iīm scared to turn on the TV, afraid of the worst that the world can be
cause we live in a world where kids live on the streets and sleep in the gutter with no food to eat
 

the world is a ghetto
the world is a ghetto
the world is a ghetto
just take a look wherever you go
the world is a ghetto
the world is a ghetto
the world is a ghetto
just take, just take a look, just take a look, a look wherever you go

 

 

10. BACK TO MY ROOTS(drew)


gettin back to my roots, gettin back to the truth
gettin down to just about a little , just about a little bit
stuck on a me and you
getting back on the scene, & back on the team
getting down to just about a little, just about a little bit
stuck on a me & you, ....1, 2, fuck you


i`ve been busy thinking back to the days of long ago
when aussie punk rock was the best in all the world
and we`d be jamming at the stagedoor and the grand
and at the civic & sussex, there were slamming jams
remember bands like razar, rejex, funthings, victims, X and the suicide squad
babeez, thought crims, psycho surgeons, aberation and the bedhogs ;
lipstick killers, chosen few, sick things, johnny dole & the scabs
radio birdman, skunks the news, the kelpies.... there were loads of bands

gettin back to my roots, gettin back to the truth
gettin down to just about a little , just about a little bit
stuck on a me and you
getting back on the scene, & back on the team
getting down to just about a little, just about a little bit
stuck on a me & you , me & you , me & you
1, 2, fuck you

gigs at brownies and the oxford funhouse were always filled with anticipation, I bought my records at Phantom, Anthem was in the Town Hall station
then we`d hang out at the rock garden & downstairs at rags, george wayne from double jay would play all of those bands
we`d go to gigs at frenches, chequers, san mig & the sussex
where stella wore the flashing hat
long before the southern cross became the strawberry hills
the grand was where it was at
we had labels like doublethink Phantom, Green, Abberant, and Melbournes Suicide, and when they closed down the stagedoor there nearly was a full scale RIOT!!!

gettin back to my roots, gettin back to the truth
gettin down to just about a little , just about a little bit
stuck on a me and you
getting back on the scene, & back on the team
getting down to just about a little, just about a little bit
stuck on a me & you , me & you , me & you
1, 2, fuck you

lead break

gettin back to my roots, gettin back to the truth
gettin down to just about a little , just about a little bit
stuck on a me and you
getting back on the scene, & back on the team
getting down to just about a little, just about a little bit
stuck on a me & you , me & you , me & you
gettin back to my roots, gettin back to the truth
gettin down to just about a little , just about a little bit
stuck on a me and you
getting back on the scene, & back on the team
getting down to just about a little, just about a little bit
stuck on a me & you , me & you , me & you
1, 2, fuck you

 

11.IN THE HEAT (drew)

i see the flowers that you bring annointing guarding everything
i feel it when our worlds collide i make you wanna run and hide

12. STRANGE PLACE (drew)

Did you walk down the corridor trying to find where you where

Did you call down the hallways did they answer your call

 

Itīs always hard in a strange place All alone with no familiar faces

Itīs always hard in a strange place you walk alone you walk alone

Itīs always.....

 

So you think about your loved ones and you think about your friends

And then reality drops back on you and the coldness starts again

 

Itīs always hard in a strange place All alone with no familiar faces

Itīs always hard in a strange place you walk alone you walk alone

Itīs always..... itīs always........ cīmon

 

So you think about your loved ones and you think about your friends

And then reality drops back on you and the coldness starts again

 

Itīs always hard in a strange place All alone with no familiar faces

Itīs always hard in a strange place you walk alone you walk alone

Itīs always..... itīs always........ cīmon
