Welcome, welcome
Ahhh, ahh
Oh, oh, oh
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh yeah

How do you do, what do you say
Welcome to a new dark age
Let's go straight to bed
Love's got out of hand
You must be out of your head

When you feel in the night
This can't happen to you
It's a war that we fight
Yes we do, yes we do
And welcome to new dark ages
Welcome to new dark ages

Oooh, yeah
Only love can save us now

Love has become a four letter word
It's past it's best and seldom heard
Love's left on the shelf like cigarettes

You believe in what's right
Take care, stop to think
And welcome to new dark ages
Welcome to new dark ages

Stop - take - care - think

Dirty Mind

That was never my scene
I'm looking for a different perfection

Baby, It's Alright

Written by Spike Edney.
Length: 4:05

I could be your lover
I could be your friend
It's one or the other
Is that where it ends

'Cos I never see you
And you never call
I want to be near you
To hold you that's all
Be there if you fall

Baby, it's alright
Oh, for the first time, I could be strong
I need you near me tonight
Must be the right time, how could it be wrong
How could it be wrong
Um, yeah

You gave me my heartache
And you give me my blues
I'm here in your doorway
I got nothing to lose
Crying's no use

Baby, it's alright
Oh, for the first time, I could be strong
I need you near me tonight
Must be the right time, how could it be wrong
How could it be wrong

Baby, it's alright
Oh, for the first time, I could be strong
Yeah, I need you near me tonight
Must be the right time
How could it be wrong, yeah

The Also Rans

Written by Roger Taylor.
Length: 5:27

Fucked
Again

I was born on the 22nd floor of a bird cage
I was bound to rock, I was born to rage
When your daddy gets drunk, when you're Ma has no hope
When you're tough and you're young, and you've got enough rope
When you make a wrong turn and you make some mistakes
When you're out of control and you ain't got no brakes
When the country's a wreck and the government's cruel
Then you better check out
If you wanna

Be cool
It's a hard road
In a world that stinks
God have mercy on the man that thinks

It's a hard road
In a world that sucks
God don't love you when you're out of luck

And so I work real hard, and I earn my pay
And I drink all night, it's the only way
To make some fun out of life, just a little bit more
When I get up my nerve I'm gonna rob me a store
Or even find me a girl, you never know your luck
And she'll cook and she'll clean, just to make a few bucks
It's a grand old world going down the pan
And there ain't
No cure
For an also ran

Yeah, it's a hard road
In a world that stinks
God have mercy on the man that thinks

Yeah, it's a hard road
We're going down the pan
God have mercy on the also rans

Yeah
You gotta have mercy on the also ran
If you wanna get out
You gotta be desperate Dan

You know what I mean
(Do, do, do, do, do, do) A hard road
(Do, do, do, do, do, do)

(Do, do, do, do, do, do) A when you're on your own
(Do, do, do, do, do, do) It's a hard road
(Do, do, do, do, do, do) When your skins the wrong tone
(Do, do, do, do, do, do) It's a hard road
(Do, do, do, do, do, do) If your face don't fit
(Do, do, do, do, do, do) It's a hard road
(Do, do, do, do, do, do) You gotta take a lotta shit

'Cos God don't love you when you got no bucks
It's a hard road
Ooh, yeah
God don't love you when you're outta luck, yeah

(Do, do, do, do, do, do)

Put It All Down To Love

Written by Spike Edney.
Length: 3:34

Yeah
Ow
Well, looky over here
Coming down the street
It's long faced Sally
The saddest girl to meet

She got all the world's problems
She carries all of our sins
Ah, but wait a minute Sally
You've got a mile wide grin

She's got something to smile about
She found a lover and she wants to shout
Put it all down to love
You know you gotta put it all down to love
You better put it all down to love

Do my eyes deceive
I'm on the other side
Oh, it's my pal Joey
The greatest man alive

He's a clown, he's a joker
He'll bring you down to your knees
Ah, but wait a minute Joey
What are these tears I see?

You got a reason to cry today
He had a lover but she's gone away

Put it all down to love
You know you really gotta put it all down to love
Put it all down to love

Loves the reason for all the things we do
Loves the reason I'm not over you
I'll be the golden bullet in your genetic gun
So look out baby, here I come, here I come

Yeah right
Ow, go get 'em Joey
He's a joker
She's got something to smile about
She found a lover and she wants to shout
Put it all down to love
You really gotta put it all down to love
Put it all down to love

Put it all down to love
You really got to put it all down to love
Put it all down to love, down to love
Put it all down to love




Hand Of Fools

Written by Spike Edney and Peter Noone.
Length: 4:33

Oooh, time
Time
Time

Streets echo the last retreat
Dust falls to the ground
A mother cries help

While walking in paradise
Look around and you'll see
We're stripping it bare
Soon they'll be no place to turn

Who plays the hand of fools
With who's God given right
It's outta control
Don't it show

While profit oils the big machine
And we've short changed the facts
Where does it stop
And the life blood is slipping away - everyday

And who plays the hand of fools
With who's God given right
It's outta control
It's outta control

And who plays the hand of fools
In a war torn and savage place
It's outta control
And it chills to the bone

And who plays the hand of fools
With who's God given right
It's outta control
It's outta control

And who plays the hand of fools
In a war torn and savage place
It's outta control
And it chills to the bone

And who plays the hand of fools
With who's God given right
It's outta control
It's outta control

Who, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Who, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Who, oooh, oooh, oooh
Who, oooh, oooh, oooh

Who, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Who, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Who, oooh, oooh, oooh

Life Changes

Written by Clayton Moss, Spike Edney, Joshua J Macrae and Peter Noone.
Length: 5:53

Oooh, yeah
Here come the sharp shooters and teenage looters today
Got a pistol in their pocket gonna blow all your dreams away
They rip through your life like a hurricane blowing
Time is the healer alone and you know it
Here come the dream weaver, you better believe her today

And life - it changes around
Don't ask me why I don't know
Love - can always be found
Don't ask me why that's how it is
(Life) ooh, that's how it is
(Life)

Here come the abusers to tempt you and lead you astray
In this outlaw ghetto your soul is the price that you'll pay
But out of the darkness there will soon come a light
To take you and lead you through this endless night
She'll love you and hold you
To keep you from slipping away

And life - it changes around
Don't ask me why I don't know
Love - can always be found
Don't ask me why that's how it is
(Life) ooh, that's how it is
(Life) honey

And I believe in my love for you
How does it feel, would you feel?

And life - it changes around
Don't ask me how I don't know
Love - can always be found
Don't ask me why that's how it is

Life - it changes around
Don't ask me why I don't know
Love - can always be found
Don't ask me why that's how it is

(Life) life changes around

Love can (love can always be found) always be found (change)
Life changes around (changes around)

Heartland

Non Album Track. Unknown writer.
Original Version 4:45

How long can this go on
How long can we see this wrong
And sing the same old song

There's a desert all round me
And the valley of apathy
Far as I could see

I was on the outside
Always looking in
Now I stand, I can't turn and face away

Here I will stay
On my own I will pray
All alone on this stage
In the heartland

When the colour of your skin
Decides where you begin
In analysing things

So if you walk alone
While others cast the stone
Stay on your own

The changing of the new tide
Is something you can't hide
Take your stand, this truth will fade away

Here I will stay
On my own I will pray
All alone on this stage
In the heartland, yeah

I was on the outside
Always looking in
Now, I stand, I can't turn and face away

Here I will stay
On my own I will pray
All alone on this stage
In the heartland

Here I will stay
On my own I will pray
All alone on this stage
In the heartland
The heartland, yeah

Here I will stay
On my own
I will pray
I ain't never gonna fade away
Alone on this stage
In the heartland
