THE EVIL THAT MEN DO

(Smith/Dickinson/Harris)

Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with the slaughter of innocence
But I will pray for her, I will call her name out loud
I would bleed for her, if I could see her now
Living on a razors edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razors edge
Oh - balancing on a ledge
Oh - balancing on a ledge
Living on a razors edge
Balancing on a ledge
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain the book of life opens before me
And I will pray for you, some day I may return
I would die for you, beyond is where I learn
Living on a razors edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razors edge
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
Living on a razors edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razors edge
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil, the evil, the evil that men do
The evil, the evil, the evil that men do

PROWLER

(Harris)

 

Walking through the city, looking oh so pretty

I've just got to find my way

 

See the ladies flashing, all their legs and lashes

I've just got to find my way

 

Well you see me crawling through the bushes with it open wide

What you seeing girl?

Can't you believe that feeling

Can't you believe it

Can't you believe your eyes?

It's the real thing girl

 

Got me feeling myself, and reeling around

Got me talking, but feel like walking around

I'm on my way

CHARLOTTE THE HARLOT

(Murray)

Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know what they're saying?

Charlotte you're so refined, when you take all the love that they're giving
 

Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know what they're after?

Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all their laughter?
 
Charlotte the harlot show me your leg
Charlotte the harlot take me to bed
Charlotte the harlot let me see blood
Charlotte the harlot let me see love
 
There was a time when you left me standing there, picking up pieces of love from the floor
Well Charlotte you left me alone in there, to make your ends as a bloody whore
 
Well Charlotte you told me you loved me true, picking up pieces of love yesterday
Well Charlotte your drawers are off colour too, 'cause you're making love all day
 
Taking so many men to your room don't you feel no remorse
You charge them only a fiver for starters, and ten the main course
 
You've got no feelings, they died long ago
Don't you care who you let in, don't you know you're breaking the law with the service you're giving
 
Charlotte the harlot show me your leg
Charlotte the harlot take me to bed
Charlotte the harlot let me see blood
Charlotte the harlot let me see love
