RUNNING FREE

(Harris/Di'anno)

 

Just sixteen a pickup truck, out of money out of luck

I've got no place to call my own, Hit the gas and here I go

 

I'm running free yeh, I'm running free

I'm running free yeh, I'm running free

 

Spend the night in an L.A. jail, listen to the sirens wail

But they ain't got a thing on me, I'm running wild I'm running free

 
I'm running free yeh, I'm running free
I'm running free yeh, I'm running free
 
Pulled her at the Bottle Top, whiskey dancing disco hop
And all the boys are after me, and that's the way it's gonna be
 
I'm running free yeh, I'm running free
I'm running free yeh, I'm running free

REMEMBER TOMORROW

(Harris/Di'anno)

 

Unchain the colours before my eyes, yesterdays sorrows tomorrows white lies

Scan the horizon the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out of the fire

 

Tears for remembrance and tears for joy, tears for somebody and this lonely boy

Out in the madness the all seeing eye, flickers above us to light up the sky

 

Unchain the colours before my eyes, yesterdays sorrows tomorrows white lies

Scan the horizon the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out the fire

WRATHCHILD

(Harris)

 

I was born into a scene of angriness and greed of dominance and persecution

My mother was a queen my dad I've never seen I was never meant to be

 

Now I spend my time looking all around, for a man that's nowhere to be found

Until I find him I've never gonna stop searching

I'm going to find my man, gonna travel round
 
Cos I'm a wrathchild
Yeah I'm a wrathchild
Well I'm a wrathchild
I'm coming to get you
Ooh yeah yeah
 
Some say it shouldn't matter ain't nothing gonna alter the course of my destination
But I know I've gotta find some serious piece of mind or I know I'll just go crazy
 

Now I spend my time looking all around, for a man that's nowhere to be found

Until I find him I've never gonna stop searching
I'm going to find my man, gonna travel round
 
Cos I'm a wrathchild
Yeah I'm a wrathchild
Well I'm a wrathchild
I'm coming to get you
Ooh yeah yeah

KILLERS

(Harris/Di'anno)

 

You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your back

A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack

 

Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed

Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs

 
My innocent victims, are slaughtered with wrath and despise
The mocking religion of hatred, that burns in the night
 
I have no-one, am bound to destroy all this greed
A voice inside me, compelling to satisfy me
 
I can see, what a life's meant to be
You'll never know, how I came to foresee
 
My faith in believing is stronger, than lifelines and ties

The glimmer of metal, my moment is ready to strike

 
The death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night
Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light
 
I have found you, and now there is no place to run
Excitement shakes me, Oh God help me what have I done
 
Yeah I've done it again!
 
He walks through the subway, his eyes burn a hole through your back
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack
 
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed
Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs
 
Look out I'm coming for you!

INNOCENT EXILE

(Harris)

 

My life is so empty, nothing to live for

My mind is all confusion, 'cos I defied the law

 

When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran

I never had no trouble, before this all began

 
My life is so empty, nothing to live for
My mind is all confusion, 'cos I defied the law
 
When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran
I never had no trouble, before this all began
 
I'm running away, nowhere to go
I'm lost and tired, and I just don't know
 
They say I killed a woman, they know it isn't true

They're just trying to frame me, and all because of you

 
Lord I'm running
