1.Rough Justice

One time you were my baby chicken
Now you’ve grown into a fox
And once upon a time I was your little rooster
Am I just one of your cocks?

It’s rough justice, oh yeah!
You’re gonna have to trust me
It’s rough justice
But you know I never break your heart

So put your lips to my hips baby
And tell me what’s on your mind
I know you still got that animal attraction for me
It’s been a long, long time

It’s rough justice, oh yeah!
We never thought it dusty
It’s rough justice
But you know I never break your heart

You’re feeling loose n' lusty
So if you really want me
It’s rough justice
And you know I never break your heart

It’s rough justice, oh yeah!
You think you really suss me?
It’s rough justice
But you know I never break your heart

First time I saw baby
You were springin' like a young gazelle
And next thing I know, we’re way down the road
And you're flying like a bat outta hell

It’s rough justice, oh yeah!
You're attitude's disgusting
You’re gonna have to trust me
But you know I never break your heart

I give you my possession
Don’t want no opposition
It’s rough justice
But you know I never break your heart


Ohh!! Come on!!!! Oh yeah!!!!
Whooo!! Come one baby, now....now... now...




2.Let Me Down Slow

You look a little dressed up
You're actin' way too smart
Your face a little bit blushed
For a walk in the park
And you're ... your ...
As you walk in the dark
And your smile got a twist
You're lookin' so hardcore
You got something to say
Don't be too direct
Because I feel a little fragile
Don't hit the nail on the head
I said baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no
I said baby, baby, let me down real slow
No no no no
There's a swish in your step
There's a gleam in your eye
Are you coloring your hair
With some new kind of dye
The first one to blame
Is the first one to fall
I don't want a contradiction
I got my back to the wall
Oooh, I say baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no
I said baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no no no no

[guitar solo]

I said baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no no
I said baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no no no no no no no

Let me down real slow
Oh no no no no no
Oh baby, baby, ...
Ooh




3.It Won't Take Long

And it won't take long to forget you
time it passes fast
maybe all be over in a minute
you'll be in the past
you can lose a love of a life time
in a cinereous

you can gaine a fortune
hand it
instead
or you can lose your soul

and it won't take long to forget you
you know
I'll never owner
and then all be over in a minute
and it won't take long

and it won't take long
to forgive you
but it's hard to forget
'cause it seems like as yesterday
the day that we first met

when you've gimme your smoulder ok
put at your cigarette
when I saw you come salter
and oh wow
you wore a pale good dress

and it won't take long to forget you
you know
I'll never owner
and then all be over in a minute
and it won't take long

life is short
one look and is over
'cause is quite shock
all I've got is some memories
stack in a juke box

and it won't take long to forget you
you know
I'll never owner
and then all be over
rock we's must
no it won't take long

and it won't take long
and it won't take long ...




4.Rain Fall Down




5.Streets Of Love

You're awful bright
You're awful smart
I must admit
You broke my heart
The awful truth
Is really sad
I must admit
I was awful bad
While lovers laugh
And music plays
I stumble by
And hide my pain
Mmmm, the lamps are lit
The moon is gone
I think I've crossed
The Rubicon

And I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're full of tears

And I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Walked the streets of love
And they are full of fears

While music pumps
From passing cars
A couple watch me from a bar
A band just played
The wedding march
And the corner store
Mends broken hearts
And a woman asks me for a dance
Oooooh, it's free of charge
Just one more chance

OOhh, but I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're full of tears
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Walk the streets of love
for a thousand years... Oh...tell me now...Ahh...

I walk the streets of love, and they're drenched with tears, ohhh...

You had the moves
You had the cards
I must admit
You were awful smart
The awful truth
Is awful sad
I must admit
I was awful bad

And I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're drenched in tears

And I, I, I, I, I, I, I
I walk the streets of love
For a thousand years

And I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're drenched with tears



6.Back Of My Hand

I hear a preacher on the corner
Ranting like a crazy man
This is the trouble
Troubles are coming
I can read it like the back of my hand

I see love, I see misery
Jammin' side by side on the stand
In the wind some mournful melody
I can read it like the back of my hand

mmm ah the back of my hand oh yeah

Oh yeah mm

I see dreams I see visions
Images I don't understand
I see Goya's paranoias
I can read it like the back of my hand
Read it like the ah ah ah ahh
Well read it like the back of my hand
Oh yeah, oh yeah mmm mm mm mm mm mm
Oh yeah read it like the back of my hand.




7.She Saw Me Coming

She saw me coming (X3)
I didn't see a thing
I wasn't looking
I just walked into it
Sucker for it, I'm a sucker, thought I was so cool
She saw me coming, boy did I get screwed
She saw me coming, she had me ???
Her ring was studded? , I was lined up in her sites
She works so fast, and she didn't mess around
It was all over, before the sun goes down, sun goes down
She saw me coming, she moved in for the kill
??????
She busted in and she Burglerized** my soul
But now the bad news is I'm on a roll
She wrote the whole thing, the middle and the end
What a cast of characters of lovers and my friends
The plot was twisted, there was only one result
She saw me coming, but the going, going got too tough
She saw me coming
?????
I'm a stupid jerk???
She was a piece of work
She ?????? my bone
I felt like i was cloned
She had me on a rope




8.Biggest Mistake

When love comes so late, it will really hit hard
It slams through the gate, It'll catch you off gaurd
Everyone said, what a perfect little match
and she is so smart, she's a hell of a catch
I was drinkin it up, gulpin it down
drifting for months on a billowing cloud
But after awhile I stopped to revell?
I'm back in the past and i'm raising up hell(?)
but I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life
We've been living together for over a year
The harmonies perfect, it rang loud and clear
????????????,my love's not to????
The little things baby, that's what they say
I acted impatient(?), I acted unkind, I took you for granted
I played with her mind, She didn't deserve it
but it was too late, I walked out the door
and left her to her fate.
I think i just made the biggest mistake of my life

Now i'm down in a slump and I'm eating alone
I ruined the day with some friends on the phone
I never go out, i'm becoming a grouch
I just watch the TV and I drink on the couch




9.This Place Is Empty

Walk right in
Sit on down
And make yourself at home

Come on baby
You are just like me
And you hate to be alone

Is funny how things go around
Its crazy but its true

This place is empty
Oh so empty
Its empty witout you

Come on
bare you breasts and make me feel like home
You and me we are just like the rest
And we dont wanna be alone

Its funny how things go around
But go around they do

This place is empty
Empty, so empty without you

This place is empty
Empty, so empty without you

Oh yeah
Mmm
Its empty without you
Mmm

Come on,
settle down and treat me sweet and close
At least by now you
You have learned
how to love a fool

Its funny how things turn around
Its crazy but its true
This place is emprty
So empty, so empty without you

This place is empty
Oh so empty without you




10.Oh No, Not You Again





11.Dangerous Beauty

In your high school photo, you look so young and naive
Now I heard you got a nickname, The ______ of the leash
_____ on a midnight shift, I bet you had your fair share of stiffs.
There were onerous orders(?), I got to admit.
Cuz you're a dangerous, dangerous,dangerous beauty
It's so painfully plain to us, you're doing your duty.
Who you got there in that hood, you look so fancy in those photographs.
With your rubber gloves on, you're a favorite with the chiefs of staff.
You're doing such a wonderful job, you're a natural at workin with dogs.
Keeping everyone awake at night, with a touch of the prods.
(Chorus)
Disdainfully painfully, _____________
(Chorus)
If i was your captain, would you salute me.
(Chorus)
You're one bad apple in a box, dealing out electric shocks.
I see the gloves are coming off
If looks_______, I bet you would shoot me



12.Laugh, I Nearly Died

I've been travelin, but I don't know where
I've been listenin, but you just don't care
And I've been wandering, seen Greece and Rome
Lost in the wilderness, so far from home

And I've been to Africa, lookin for my soul
I feel like an actor, lookin for a role
I've been in Arabia, seen a million stars
Been sippin champagne, on the boulevards

I'm so sick and tired, tryin to turn the tide
I'll say my goodbye, Laugh, laugh, I nearly died

I've been ""way down to India"" but it froze my bones
I'm leavin for the city, but I'm all alone
I've been travelin, but I don't know where
I've been wandering, but i just don't care

I hate to be denied, How you hurt my pride
I feel pushed aside, but Laugh, laugh, i nearly died

Been travelin far and wide, wonderin who's gonna be my guide

Livin in a fantasy, but it's way too far
But this kind of loneliness is way too hard
I've been wanderin, feel all alone
And i lost my direction, and i lost my home

I'm so sick and tired, ????????????
Feel so despised, When you Laughed, laughed, I almost died

Been travelin far and wide, wonderin who's gonna be my guide




13.Sweet Neo Con

You call yourself a Christian
I think that you're a hypocrite
You say you are a patriot
I think that you are a crock of shit

And listen about the price of gasoline
I drink it every day
But its getting very pricey
And who is gonna to pay

Oh oh you're so wrong
My sweet Neocon

It's liberty for all
'cause democracy's our style
unless you are against us
Then it's prison without trial

But one thing that is certain
Like this girl in Haliburton
If you're really so astute
You should invest in ???

How come you're so wrong
My Sweet Neocon
If you turn out right
I'll eat my hat tonight

It's gettin' very scary
Yeah, I'm frightened out of my wits
There's police in my bedroom
Yeah, and it's giving me the shits

We must have looked for reasons
To protect us from our own
???
We're doing it alone

How come your so wrong
my sweet neocon
Where's the money gone
In the Pentagon

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.... Neocon!




14.Look What The Cat Dragged In

???
You like to go out drinkin and you love to have a good time. But you came in when I was drinking coffee, having breakfast on a fortnight(?)
I won't interrogate you, and i never will berate you
But your light's on(?) From where you've been, lost weekend

What's that look on your face, ?????
Your eyes are all red, get ready for bed, your hairs all over the place.
Look what the cat dragged in, don't you call me your friend.
Get out of my house with your dirty old mouth, pick up your pride again.
Look what the cat dragged in, he took it right out again.
Looking at the sunday papers ?? what all the ladies did was so ???.
Checking what was going on, in syria and Lebanon
??????

Governor appears beside you and i hate to ostracize you(?)
???? where you been? Lost weekend.
You look like a total ????, ???? have her paid(?)
You look like a bunch of SGT Peppers (WHAT??)
Everybody ????
Look what the cat dragged in, he took it right out again
???
(Repeat)




15.Driving Too Fast

You can follow the road to the mountain,
Or the track leading down to the beach
You can go where your ?? go left or go right
It's you in the drivers seat
And if the rain starts pumpin your windscreen
There's a light ??? into the night
????????? ????? the highways blind and bright
Goin out of your brain, out of your mind
???????????, your going blind
Youre drivin too fast, you went straight past the curve
and you never go back,
Drivin too fast, the road was a blur and it all turned to black

Driving too fast, hang on to the wheel i think you're gonna crash
???? the freeway divided, it's a pity you can't take em both
But at least there's a valley ???? down some alley
The other runs down to the coast
too bad the roads lead to nowhere, but how they twist and they turned. At the dead end is a dusty old strip mall,
where tires are all shredded and burned.
You're goin, outta your brain, out of your mind
Don't let em tell ya, youre gonna ???
You'r drivin too fast, straight through the curve
You'r drivin too fast and you never go back
You'r drivin too fast, runnin out of gas
??????????
????????




16.Infamy

I know you got it in for me,
i knew it right from the start
I'm still learnin my lines baby,
Since you've rewritten my part,
Oh why have you got it in for me,
Things they are not what they seem,

You're living in a nightmare baby,
and I mistook it for a dream

yeah just for a dream
You got it in for me

Yes just for a dream.
I mistook it for a dream,

It's you that wrote the song baby,
but me who's got to sing ???

I knew you had it in for me, where do you take it from here, We got along so famously, it's time you make it clear

I know you got it in for me, i knew it right from the start

You've already convicted me, Why'd you ??? my heart

All you wanna do is wipe the floor with me

Right from the start

It's you that wrote the song baby, but me who's got to sing ???

I knew you had it in for me, where do you take it from here, We got along so famously, it's time you make it clear

-----------------------------------------------------------

The line "You're living in a nightmare baby,but I'm just LOOKIN' for a dream." Should read-"You're living in a nightmare baby,and I MISTOOK it for a dream."

Likewise this couplet-"yeah just for a dream
You got it in for me" Should read-"Yes just for a dream. I MISTOOK it for a dream."

There's more mistakes in there Gerardo,but you have done a brilliant job deciephering most of the lyrics. I'm reading them straight from liner notes sio I'm at an adbvantage. Gotta love Infamy.huh?!

I am so goddamned happy with disk that I am typing this with Joey's third nipple!

Biggest Mistake
----------------

When love comes so late, it will really hit hard
It slams through the gate, It'll catch you off gaurd
Everyone said, what a perfect little match
and she is so smart, she's a hell of a catch
I was drinkin it up, gulpin it down
drifting for months on a billowing cloud
But after awhile I start to rebel
I'm back in the past and i'm raising up hell
but I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life
I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life
We've been living together for over a year
The harmonies perfect, it rang loud and clear
but then very slowly , my love's not to ______
The little things baby, that's what they say
I acted impatient, I acted unkind, I took you for granted
I played with her mind, She didn't deserve it
but it was too late, I walked out the door
and left her to her fate.
I think i just made the biggest mistake of my life
I think i just made the biggest mistake of my life
Now i'm down in a slump and I'm eating alone
I ruined the day with some friends on the phone
I never go out, i'm becoming a grouch
I just watch the TV and I drink on the couch
If love comes again, I'll be really surprised
I'll grab it real fast, keep it right in my sights
I think i just made the biggest mistake of my life
I think i just made the biggest mistake of my life

Look What The Cat Dragged In
---------------------

I know that you like to go out drinkin and you love to have a good time. But you came in when I was drinking coffee, having breakfast round about nine.
I won't interrogate you and i never will berate you
But your lifestyle From where you've been, lost weekend

What's that look on your face, you must have done the walk of shame.
Your eyes are all red, get ready for bed, your hairs all over the place.
Look what the cat dragged in, don't you call me your friend.
Get out of my house with your dirty old mouth,take yourself out again.
Look what the cat dragged in, he took it right out again.
Look what the cat dragged in, he took it right out again.
Looking at the sunday papers up with all the latest it was so quiet. Checking what was going on, in syria and Lebanon, a bad fright.

Aint gonna criticize you and i hate to ostracize you
with a bad ______ where you been? Lost weekend.
You look like you're totally spaced, your breath's got a horrible taste,
You look like a leper dressed as SGT Pepper, are you gonna _____ over my face.

Look what the cat dragged in, he took it right out again
Get out of my house with your dirty old mouth,take yourself out again.
Look what the cat dragged in, never do that my friend.

Driving Too Fast
---------------

You can follow the road to the mountain,
Or the track leading down to the beach
You can go where your ____ go left or go right
It's you in the drivers seat
And if the rain starts pumpin your windscreen
And the lights don't pierce through the night
And the truck's coming at you, it's just gonna splat ya, the highways blind and bright
Goin out of your brain, out of your mind
You're so deranged, your going blind
Youre drivin too fast, you went straight past the curve
and you never go back,
Drivin too fast, the road was a blur and it all turned to black

Driving too fast, hang on to the wheel i think you're gonna crash
You can see the freeway divided(?), it's a pity you can't take em both
One leads to the valley or down some blind alley
The other runs down to the coast.
too bad the roads lead to nowhere, but how they twist and they turned. At the dead end is a dusty old strip mall,
where tires are all shredded and burned.
You're goin, outta your brain, out of your mind
Don't let em tell ya, youre gonna ???
??????????
