VIRUS

(Harris/Gers/Murray/Bayley)

IM

There's an evil virus that's threatening mankind
Not state of the art, a serious state of the mind
The muggers the backstabbers the two faced elite
A menace to society a social disease
IM
Rape of the mind is a social disorder, the cynics the apathy one up man ship order
IM
Watching beginnings of social decay
Gloating or seering at life's disarray
Eating away at your own self esteem
Pouncing on every word that you might be saying
IM
Rape of the mind is a social disorder, the cynics the apathy one up man ship order
IM
Superficially smiling a shake of the hand as soon as the back is turned treachery is planned
IM
Rape of the mind is a social disorder, the cynics the apathy one up man ship order
IM
Watching beginnings of social decay gloating or seering...at life's disarray
IM
When every good thing's laid to waste
By all the jealousy and hate
By all the acid wit and rapier lies
IM
And every time you think you're safe
And when you go to turn away
You know they're sharpening all their paper knives
IM
All in your mind, all in your head, try to relate it
All in your mind, all in your head, try to escape it
IM
Without a conscience they destroy
And that's a thing that they enjoy
They're a sickness that's all in our minds
IM
They want to sink the ship and leave
The way they laugh at you and me
You know it happens all the time
IM
All in your mind, all in your head, try to relate it
All in your mind, all in your head, try to escape it
IM
The rats in the cellar you know who you are...
The rats in the cellar you know who you are...
The rats in the cellar you know who you are...
The rats in the cellar you know who you are...
IM
Or do you?
Or do you?
Or do you?
Or do you?
IM
Try to relate it
IM
Watching beginnings of social decay

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

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
