SECOND OPINION Somebody get me to a doctor Cos something doesn’t feel quite right here I been gettin’ round with a poisoned soul I been overdosin’ on rock and roll Been sleep walking in the middle o the night I shoulda walked into the light The damage is done so there’s no point listening Should I lay down here and die or get a second opinion What do you think ya know, there’s something you’re missin’ The only way to go is a second opinion Somebody bring another bottle The one I’m holding seems to be empty Been getting round with the crazy eyes I been stealing, cheating and telling lies Wake up sweating in the middle o the night But should I roll over and die (hell no) Give me a second opinion…

Broken Man 04:40
BROKEN MAN Hit the wall, took a fall just when I thought I had it all Lookin’ back down the track I can see where I missed the call The I knew all I’d find was my friends saying never mind That’s the thing ‘bout human kind Can anyone hear the voice in my head Does anyone live the way I am Is anyone standin’ close to the edge Can anyone heal this broken man I wanna be strong I wanna be free I want ya to try to understand Can anyone see what’s happened to me Can anyone mend this broken man Took a walk down the line just figured that I’d take some time Wrong turn got burnt marinating in weed and wine Then I watched all my friends walk away for some piece of mind That’s the thing ‘bout human kind
5.
Met a Girl 04:00
MET A GIRL I met girl cute as can be, I met a girl who’s perfect for me She swept me off my feet I look around, heart in a race, I close my eyes and I picture her face What’s happening to me And when I’m looking in her eyes I know she wants to tell me what she’s feeling inside But know she doesn’t need to say a single word (oh yeah) And when I’m staring at the sky A little something tells me that she’ll take me by surprise And hold me like I’ve never been held before (oh yeah) I take her hand & steal a kiss, I never thought a moment like this Would come along for me It feels so good, it feels so right, I pray to God she’ll be mine tonight I get down on my knee
6.
SEX FOR HER SUPPER I feel in love with a beautiful woman She doesn’t need any help havin’ fun She spends her Saturday nights startin’ fights Among the boys on the dance floor She doesn’t need anybody beside her She doesn’t need a drink or a pill She’s just happy to sell her soul for sex and rock and roll How does she stay so cool when everyone else is off their head & how do I talk this girl into a night with me in bed She’s got no-one to stop her, noone to cure her addiction to rock and roll No-one can top her sex for her supper, & she knows ya can’t say no I spent the night with a beautiful woman She didn’t need any help havin’ fun I knew my work was cut out when she shouted “Why ya still got ya clothes on?” She didn’t want any conversation She didn’t need no token romance She just turned up her music & shimmied off her leopard print pants (yes she did) & how does she stay so cool when I been freakin’ out of my head & how am I s’posed to ride the night out tied up to this bed Can’t say no No ya can’t say no
7.
IN HER STRIDE She likes to bathe in sorrow Don’t believe it’ll come back round She lives like there’s no tomorrow Sleeps every night safe an sound She don’t pry (2. cry), it slips her by She can barely feel the pain is gone She hurts inside but she takes it in her stride She’s hurtin’ inside but she takes it in her stride (yeah) She wears a wrath of sorrow Like a shield to protect her soul She hides in the deathly hollows & crawls out when her demons call
8.
INTO THE MOOD Only ever really had one thing on my mind tonight Only question I had would ya wanna turn out the light Laying there in the sheets I couldn’t believe myself Nights in bed with girls like you only happen to somebody else Turn me on, wind me up, make me do what you want me to do Cos it’s Saturday night and I’m up for anything and everything with you Try to make me stop, try to make me move Nothin’s gonna turn me once I get into the groove And ya cry to have your say and you cry to get your way Nothings gonna stop me once I get into the mood Did you really count on getting’ down & dirty so deep tonight We didn’t leave a lot of room to improve on our appetite (oh) I didn’t wanna rush in but I just can’t help myself Should we o’ seized the day or left something better to look forward to Turn me on, wind me up, make me do what you want me to do Cos it’s Saturday night and there’s no-one I’d rather be with more than you So come and get me, into the mood (yeah) I’ve been dyin’ to try and get you into the mood, yeah And something tells me I’m about to spread my wings and fly
9.
Firefly 05:34
FIREFLY When I was young I used to wish that I could fly So far away, so far away As I grew older that wish turned into a dream I had all day, a dream I had all day And she turns me upside down Yeah I tell ya that’s how she spins me out She was the first thing that I had to call me own First girl to make me smile We’re still together each day better than the last and when she smiles She makes it off the dial (When I’m watching her) Lookin’ down on the world below, let’s just see how high she can go Oh yeah she’s my firefly Paint the sky will a ball of flames, I don’t even know her name But still she’s my firefly She’s all I got and I don’t want anything more It’s good for her and it’s good for me She takes me higher than I’ve ever been before, how good is she How good can this life be She’s still driving me insane
10.
TOO MANY WAYS TO DIE Don’t look down, just keep your eyes up and move forwards darlin’ Hey, & kiss the ground when you reach the other side (oh) Stand & fight, cos you’ve come to far to turn around now Hey, stand your ground, cos there’s no time to run and hide Oh and there’s so much ground & so many mouths to feed (oh) Too many ways to die, too many litres of blood to bleed (yeah) Reach the sun, because the burning makes your heart beat stronger Hey, the chosen one reveals the secrets deep inside Oh and there’s so much ground & so many mouths to feed (oh) Too many ways to die, too many litres of blood to bleed Oh, there’s so much ground & so many mouths to feed (oh) Too many broken hearts, too many litres of blood to bleed
11.
Still Alive 03:29
STILL ALIVE Seven sure signs that our souls ascend, second chance sinners sailing to the end Scored a raw deal when I lost a friend but you can count on it girl I’ll see your face again Seven gold signs that we’re born again, second rate citizens making amends Tried so hard saving every cent but they can’t come with you in the end (Hey what’s so good about it, you don’t know shit about it) Smile, you’re still alive Seven sure signs that our souls ascend, Heaven sent warriors to defend Life seems blind but I tell you man that when angels touch you will see again Seven more signs we can make amends, souls are reborn and livin’ again Any old time you can feel the end, if you stare at the sky you can make a friend (Hey what’s so good about it, you don’t know shit about it) Smile, you’re still alive
12.
Without You 05:32
WITHOUT YOU Something ‘bout the look in her eye That tells me I’m about to curl up and die I don’t even need to know why Just make it quick & painless & say goodbye I can tell when rivers run dry Cos I can never fill them up when I cry Don’t make up a reason why I’ll take a shot thru the heart instead o’ living a lie Nothing compares to your everything And now I’m denied of my freedom to fly I got no more use for my broken wings Yeah if you and me can’t get along Well there’s no telling what I’ll do I don’t think I can carry on For one more night without you If you and me have reached the end There’s nothing left for me to do I can’t believe I need to spend Another night without you Something ‘bout the way that she cries That tells me I’m the cause for tears in her eyes I could never figure out why She never packed her bags up and said goodbye I can tell when spirits collide Cos I can feel their fire burning inside I would sooner curl up & die Than see a second o’ pain hide behind her eyes
13.
SECOND OPINION Somebody get me to a doctor Cos something doesn’t feel quite right here I been gettin’ round with a poisoned soul I been overdosin’ on rock and roll Been sleep walking in the middle o the night I shoulda walked into the light The damage is done so there’s no point listening Should I lay down here and die or get a second opinion What do you think ya know, there’s something you’re missin’ The only way to go is a second opinion Somebody bring another bottle The one I’m holding seems to be empty Been getting round with the crazy eyes I been stealing, cheating and telling lies Wake up sweating in the middle o the night But should I roll over and die (hell no) Give me a second opinion…
14.
WORLD OF YOUR OWN Well she can dance dance dance & dance away her blues She got everything to gain & nothin’ left to lose But she knows that’s gonna leave her in a world of her own And she can run run run & run a million miles With no guarantee it’s gonna bring her a smile Cos she never wants to wake up in a world of her own Turn up the music when nobody’s home Nobody sees how she moves on her own And yeah I love love love I love the way you move But there’s no way in hell I’m gonna keep up with you I’m gonna have to leave ya be in a world of your own Well she can knock knock knock ya senseless when she moves Slips into a zone where there’s nothin’ to prove And she knows it leaves her hangin’ in a world of her own Yeah she can rock rock rock & rock away her blues She don’t wanna end up bein’ yesterdays news She could never stand to live in a world of her own And yeah I love love love I love the way you move But there’s no way in hell I’m gonna keep up with you I’m gonna have to leave ya be in a world of your own X 3
15.
NEED YA TONIGHT Well it’s nice to sit & think about ya baby About how when I’m with ya nothing could go wrong There’s something medicinal about it & when I can’t get my head around it I just sit & think about ya all day long Well it feels so good to make love to you baby Especially when I haven’t seen ya for so long There something so magical about it & how could I ever live without it When I know full well that the best is yet to come (yeah) Stay by my side cos it’s now or never Stick with me we’re gonna live forever Never a doubt when I think about it it I’m in deep and I wanna shout it I feel alive when I think about ya Don’t wanna live alone without ya I need ya tonight Well it’s nice to sleep and dream about ya baby About how when you’re with me nothing could go wrong There’s something incredible about it & when I can’t get my mind around it I go to sleep and dream about ya all night long (yeah) I need ya tonight Hold out your hand I need ya tonight (woh) I need you tonight…
