Bring 'Em In

01   Sheepdog (03:35)

I aim at the first one who'll dare to stand still
Oh Lord, you're tension is making me ill
You've got no friends in your home, you'll got no family stone
You can't go: Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah

Everyone, in every town, on every boat, on every trip, the multi-talented strip,
Will gather 'round you with coke and pain
The trees, ain't no doubt about
The seeds, I had no thought about
No, Yeah Yeah Yeah

Don't know why I can't locate this feeling, that I would rather be with you
It makes no sense, you're crying out loud, that I may love you
This stress is wasting my emotions that I would rather be with you
Don't let them closer to this secret... that I may love you

Take 'em outa west, take 'em outa height, take 'em on a sweet ride
Those little angels are numbered nine
The colored TV once shined on desolation one five
They've got it! Yeah Yeah Yeah
Bust 'em in the light, bust 'em in the light, BUST 'EM IN THE DAYLIGHT
They ain't worthy being named as thieves
One of those shorties said hi up to the abbot who died
The rebound, Yeah Yeah Yeah

Don't know why I can't locate this feeling, that I would rather be with you
It makes no sense, you're crying out loud, that I may love you
This stress is wasting my emotions that I would rather be with you
Don't let them closer to this secret... that I may love you

Now hear the bluebird whistle hymns like "I would rather heal your wounds"
now hear the dark gun punching out, that I may love you

02   Sweet Ride (02:03)

Get your motor runnin� cause my engine�s too hot
And the cooler�s runnin� dry as a pimp
Get your things together cause I'm blowing my mind
And that Ronnie is an MTV star

It's my soul honey, that's up at eighty
And my sweet ride has blown my lady away
Soon, my motor�s runnin� wild and I'm gone

Get your wheelers spinning cause I'm riding a lot
And my lady�s back at home with her sins
Get your wheelers spinning cause I'm cruising at last
And my destination�s somewhere between

It's my soul honey that's up at eighty
And my sweet ride love and tries who make sense
Man, I'm runnin, wild and now I'm gone

Here comes Ronnie!

It's my soul honey...

03   Motown Blood (02:02)

I said go, I said baby don't wanna go
I said freeze, I said baby don't wanna freeze
And if it's night or day we don't care if what we get along whatever you do
And it won't be long �till they get my file and turns it black as black as afternoon
And turns it black as black as afternoon

I said you, I said you and me and her
I said us, I said us makes white a blur
And if it's night or day we don't care if how we get along whatever you say
And it won't be long �till they get my file and turns it black as black as grey
And turns it black as black as grey

I said you, well you do...

We don't care if you care for the mob
We don't care if you care for the sub
We don't care if you care for the mud
Cause we've got motown blood in our veins
Cause we've got motown blood in our veins

I said move, I said baby don't wanna move
I said groove, I said baby don't wanna groove
And if it's night or day we don't care if what we get along whatever you do
And it won't be long �till they get my file and turns it black as black as afternoon
And turns it black as black as afternoon

I said you, well you do'

We don't care�

04   Mr Moon (03:30)

Mr Moon, Mr Moon maybe your time is coming
Mr Moon, Mr Moon what's happening in the room?
We'll search our hearts before you die, let the time fades away.
It was given as a promise to each and every man.

I wanna love you but i'm growing old
Ten little soldiers screaming in my soul.
Will she come over when it's time to go,
come on and show me little
drummerboy, no
Mr Moon, Mr Moon, Mr Moon

Sad but true, sad but true
You're telling me what to do
I've learned my lesson, that stupid question
Now it hurts my pride

Andyou're a girl, a serious girl
Showing me the world
Oh my love, you're so tired
But you must think quiet

I wanna love you but i'm growing old
Ten little soldiers screaming in my soul.
Will she come over when it's time to go,
come on and show me little
drummerboy, no
Mr Moon, Mr Moon, Mr Moon.
Hey, hey, heeey�..
Mr Moon, Mr Moon, Mr Mooooooooooooon.

I wanna love you but i'm growing old
Ten little soldiers screaming in my soul.
Will she come over when it's time to go, come on and show me little
drummerboy.

I wanna love you but i'm growing old
Ten little soldiers screaming in my soul.
The day is using up it's final breath
I've never been so sure I've never doubted you,
Mr Moon, Mr Moon, Mr Moon.

05   The Band (03:18)

I’ve played that song from long ago
When every morning longed to fall
It broke my sighs and my regrets
It stumbled on the steps
You’ve build for climbing towards me
Now it feels like sinners in the sun

When I say
I said I’d die for you
Or was it in my head
I took you down on ouzo
And now I think I’d rather see you dead

I said I die for you
Or was it in my head
She took me down on ouzo
And then you say you'd rather see me dead

If my depression stood the wind
I spat the devil up his chin
It couldn’t do me any harm
It roughed my steel and shut my mouth
My late impression
Oh, that rain that’s iching on my skin

When I say
I said I’d die for you
Or was it in my head
I took you down on ouzo
And now I think I’d rather see you dead

I said I die for you
Or was it in my head
You took me down on ouzo
And then you say you'd rather see me dead

Hold me, scratch my shoulder
Fold me, sue me, watch me going mad

I said I’d die for you
Or was it in my head
I took you down on ouzo
And now I think I’d rather see you dead

I said I die for you
Or was it in my head
She took me down on ouzo
And then you say you'd rather see me dead

06   To China With Love (05:02)

Get on the train cause I'm tired of you, boy
You can come back when you're dressed in blue
You won't get a penny of using me
I'm gonna send you home and hit you on Sunday

Don't look so small, I'm not bigger than you
but I've got blues enough to smash your bones
I've lit up my life with those matches I've got
from those who stood by me when I was in pain, boy

You're too near me nasty boy-girl
It's pretty bad that you're still around
I'm gonna laugh when you're down and out, boy
I'm gonna laugh when you're on that lonesome ride

Back all the way to China in a police car from Japan, oh yeah
Sitting in the backseat crying
Where's your pride?

Getting my feet all drained in mud,
I'm gonna clean them when I'm done with you
I don't give a damn if your filthy too
I've got enough soap for my whole generation

Your too near me nasty boy-girl.
It's pretty bad that you're round my hood
I'm gonna laugh when you're down and out boy
I'm gonna laugh when you're on that lonesome ride

But all the way to China�

Drop your blood in China,
You will get rid of that mighty stone, oh yeah
People told me you were a rich man now
Where's your pride?

07   Paralyzed (04:09)

She ain't as beautiful as me, but she's as beautiful as she can be
She ain't as cold as she want but she wants it to boil
She ain't as cold as she can be, don't you see
It takes a fast mind to figure out, what's on this whole earth this is all about
Let 'em ride for a while, let 'em wonder, oh
Why it takes a faster, faster, faster mind to figure out how

She's got a bent belt by her side
She's got that donkey paralyzed
She's got a cold inner wind and a ware full of sins
She's got a garagedoor where you've got lies
She's got a lifeline by her side
She's got a woman paralyzed
She's got a much elder husband than god�s son himself
She's got a bagage full of hope and knives
Na! Get down!

She's selling basses down a �backstreet stair�
Just down the alley where there's nothin� but air
And the birds took brake, 'round 1968
She's selling basses in a �backstreet stair�
She took me down when just couldn't get ahead
She took my soul when I choosed laughter instead
Let me ride for a while let me wonder, oh
How it takes a faster, faster, faster mind to figure out how

She's got a bent belt�

08   P.U.S.A. (02:40)

Drove around �til five o'clock, it was drivers day
I drove the drivers way,
Now I must speed up get up wipe up everything I've got
Wanna hit the pretty ice in my big city, with my big clich�s
And if I get out, give up, get along with myself

I've gotta get it on the dancefloor, baby where
in the Post United States of America
I've got my brotherhood to help me, take 'em there
In the Post United States of America

Police asked me where to go in a nowhereland
I'm in a state of sand
And if I pray well, make hell, gee swell, I'll be OK
Brothers on my right and left they don't give a shit �bout my bottomless pit
And I know, I will turn 'em, all you mothers in'n'out

I wanna get it on the dancefloor�

Love me, fool me, drink my wine in the
in the Post United States of America
I wanna go with those who live and dies
in the Post United States of America

09   Chi Ga (01:43)

She can smell her next day, but it ain't gonna work if I cross her mind
The latest news this weekend, man got raped, she replied, I'll go out for bread

Chi Ga -only she knows how to step forward and when it's gonna come to an end
Chi Ga -only fast women can describe her attempts and when it comes to an end
Then she got...

Chi Ga's building towers to protect her from those who is paying her bills
Never works on Wednesdays finds it hard to believe her drinking is well

Chi Ga -only she knows how to step forward and when it's gonna come to an end
Chi Ga -only fast women can describe her attempts and when it comes to an end
Then she got...

Then Chi Ga...

10   Little Boy Jr (02:56)

I've got a brand new hand if you wanna perform
A 30 year old army turning fire into storm
I've got a vicious little soldier, I know he's alright
He's gonna catch some women tonight, that's alright
He's gonna catch some women tonight

He's spinning round 'n' round 'n' round until he's had enough
Going town to town to town just to prove that he's tough
Don't let him down under your skin, that's what they say
He's gonna catch some ladies today, what they say
He's gonna catch some ladies today

And when the firstborn baby starts to scream out: -Bollocks!
Smash him out at midnight, you ain't raised ortodox
Take some money, spread 'em out as wide as you can
You've got more room in your pocket then a russian, ru la la la

Little boy Jr barks a pitbull to tears,
without even knowing, it's his most primal fear
That's your spirit Jr, maybe your light
You're gonna catch some women tonight, that's alright
You're gonna catch some women tonight

And when the firstborn baby �

It's time for closing in those bars, you've got that rush, that's cool
Do you know, your reputation is a future O'Dole
That rope is getting closer, know that it's tight
There won't be any women tonight, not tonight
There won't be any women tonight, not tonight
There won't be any women tonight

11   Lady (02:32)

Don't you stumble turning your head upside down
And don't get the feeling that I've been dreaming here all alone

Sell the new dimension to my pal he's in need of help but i'm so busy
Teach me how to loose my friends and give me the sign of love cause

I won't leave
leave my own lady
I won't leave no no leave my own lady

Don't you get her tuning her turning her down
and don't get the feeling that I've been telling lies to my dad

Sell the new dimension to my pal he's in need of help but I'm so busy
teach me how to loose my friends and give me the sign of love cause

I won't leave
leave my own lady
I won't leave no no leave my own lady
But the new world is bad and don't you know my new world turns to melodies
Get up now and feel that little love on sunday hey hey hey hey hey hey hey oh
yeah alright come on come on come hey yeah alright get up get up and get down

12   A Picture of 'em All (02:32)

13   She's So (04:08)

14   Bring 'em In (02:13)

I've gotta climb this mountain, yeah, I'll deal with you later
If you burst into laugh then I will ch-ch-ch-choke you with my cough
I am better of dead, I'm rolling high and I'll be gone for tomorrow

So copying styles if you're a “one of a kind”
Oh Yeah! Alright!

Tough looking star, painted in black, smoothed in white cream
Sing lazy songs, lyrics haven't been the same without it
And when the lunatics are coming in the late afternoon, I will comfort me

With saying that I'm just a “one of a kind”
Oh Yeah! Alright!

And when the lunatics are coming in the late afternoon,
you may comfort me by saying that you're all by a tune, and you will say:
I wander what's so wrong about it, I wander what's happy about it,
I want it now and you will never be alive!!

I want it now, but you were never my kind,
so cry at night when the band pullet out

15   Lauren's Cathedral (06:31)

If I said something smoothly, could it be a little symphony
Breathing a break, oh that’s what you want me to do
Riding along emotions unaware of my own age, darling

Lauren, I’m growing much faster than you

And if that Andy drew my soul, I will tear me ‘till I’m dry
Poetic drivel, oh, that’s what I want it to be
How can a girl so strong, go and blow it on her own, darling

Lauren, I’m growing much faster than you

And if that cunt tries to beat me in rhythm
And if that cunt tries to prove me I’m wrong
I’m sure that

Lauren I’m growing much faster than you
