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

SANCTUARY

(Harris/Murray/Di'anno)

Out of winter came a warhorse of steel
I've never killed a woman before but I know how it feels
I'd know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law
I met up with a stranger last night to keep me alive
He spends all his time on gambling and guns to survive
I'd know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law
So give me sanctuary from the law...and I'll be alright
Sanctuary from the law...and love me tonight
I'd know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law
So give me sanctuary from the law...and I'll be alright
Just give me sanctuary from the law...and love me tonight
I can laugh at the wind
I can howl at the rain
Down in the canyon or out on the plain
I'd know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law
So give me sanctuary from the law...and I'll be alright
Just give me sanctuary from the law...and love me tonight, tonight
Love me tonight

MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE

(Harris)

 

I remember it as plain as day, although it happened in the dark of night

I was strolling through the streets of Paris, it was cold it was starting to rain

And then I heard a piercing scream, and I rushed to the scene of the crime

But all I found was the butchered remains, of two girls laying side by side

 
Murders in the Rue Morgue - someone call the gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue - vite before the killers go free
 
There's some people coming down the street, at last someone's heard my call
I can't understand why they're pointing at me, I never done nothing at all
Well I must have got some blood on my hands, because everybody's shouting at me
I can't speak French so I couldn't explain, and like a fool started running away
 
Murders in the Rue Morgue - running from the gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue - am I ever going to be free
 

And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law, all of France is looking for me

I've gotta find a way across the border for sure, down the South of Italy
 
Murders in the Rue Morgue - someone call the gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue - I'm never going home
 
Well I made it to the border at last, but I can't erase the scene from my mind
Any time somebody stares at me, well I just start running blind
Well I'm running through the shadows tonight, away from the staring eyes
Any day they'll be looking for me, 'cos I know I show the signs of...
 
Murders in the Rue Morgue - running from the gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue - running from the arms of the law
 
Murders in the Rue Morgue - running from the gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue - am I ever gonna be free
 
It took so long and I'm getting so tired, I'm running out of places to hide
Should I return to the scene of the crime, where the two young victims died
If I could go to somebody for help, it would get me out of trouble for sure
But I know that's it's on my mind, that my doctor said I've done it before
 
Murders in the Rue Morgue - they're never gonna find me
Murders in the Rue Morgue - I'm never going home
