1. _ Doctor X

2. _ Sardonicus
A human statue made of living stone
A paradox etched in human bone
If you could look behind his thin disguise
There`s a hidden glint of madness in his eyes.
Many men are fooled by his smile
His superficial grace his charm his style
Sardonicus is everybody`s friend
Sardonicus keeps smiling to the end.

3. _ One In Ten
(chorus)
I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though i don`t exist
Nobody knows me
Even though i`m always there
A statistic, a reminder
Of a world that doesn`t care
My arms enfold the dole queue
Malnutrition dulls my hair
My eyes are black and lifeless
With an underprivileged stare
I`m the beggar on the corner
Will no-one spare a dime?
I`m the child that never learns to read
`cause no-one spared the time
(chorus)
I am the one in ten .... etc
I`m the murderer and the victim
The licence with the gun
I`m a sad and bruised old lady
In an ally in a slum
I`m a middle aged businessman
With chronic heart disease
I`m another teenaged suicide
In a street that has no trees
(chorus)
I am the one in ten .... etc
I`m a starving third world mother
A refugee without a home
I`m a house wife hooked on valium
I`m a pensioner alone
I`m a cancer ridden spectre
Covering the earth
I`m another hungry baby
I`m an accident of birth.
(chorus)
I am the one in ten .... etc

5. _ Present Arms
You got no job you got no pay
Join the military, sign today
They`ll take you off to fight on foreign shores
You`ll be your mother`s pride and joy
Her armed and dangerous golden boy
A uniformed hero that shows no fear
The khaki ranks of flesh and steel
Learning how to smile and kill
They`ll teach you to ignore the screams and tears

6. _ Don`t Slow Down
You might believe, and still you feel
The chase has just begun;
That you must reach that horizon before
The setting of the sun.
You chase the light in front of you,
Nightfall close behind;
If you stop to catch your breath,
You know what you will find.
(chorus)
Don`t slow down don`t touch the ground,
You know what you will find;
That old grey man in tattered clothes
Following behind.
No time to stop, don`t go to sleep,
Prepare to pay the cost.
The hours and minutes are passing by,
Another day is lost.
Impatience is a virtue,
Catch me if you can.
The seconds have been ticking by
Since your life began.

7. _ Don't Walk On The Grass
|
8. _ Silent Witness
The neon haze of city lights
The tribal sound of marching feet
Cuts through the gloom on cold dark nights
The tired and homeless roam the streets
The sirens wail the engines roar
A shadowed man just glances around
A victim of life`s mindless toil
Lies cold and helpless on the ground
The window dummies silent stare
Bear witness on the nights
If they could move
What it would proved
To see them all take flight
The neon haze of city lights
The tribal sound of marching feet
Cuts through the gloom on cold dark nights
The tired and homeless roam the streets
The walls shout loud with angry words
The people air their views
The poor can scream but no-one hears
The concrete jungle sings the blues

9. _ Lambsbread
Ah who seh, sensimilla
Ah who seh, lambsbread i till ya
Ah who seh, sensimilla
The wicked man, the wicked man deh`pon the street
A whole heap of wind-ups deh`pon the street
Thiefing, looting, lying, me seh dep`pon the street
A hustling, a hustling deh`pon the street
Me seh a flat-foot hustling deh`pon the street
The drug squad seh them dep`pon the street.
B-line, mash it, me seh mash it, me seh
B-line, rock it, me seh shock it, me seh
B-line, rub it, me seh dub it, me seh
B-line, under heavy manners, me seh
B-line, rock it, me seh shock it, me seh
B-line, mash it, me seh crash it, me seh
B-line.

10. _ Don`t Let Is Pass You By
There`s no-one coming with that freedom train.
There`s nowhere you can go where you feel no pain.
Take the blinkers off you eye`s,
The power`s in your hand;
Stop waiting for your ticket to the promised land.
There ain`t no heaven and there ain`t no hell.
Except the one we`re in, and you know to well
There`s no-one waiting on,
Waiting on a higher high;
Don`t let the only world you`re ever gonna live in
Pass you by.
