1. _ Ugly Head
Oh i bet your life
You're sick of the sight
Of those eat in, take out, throw up pizza bars
Love's just got to pass your way in time
You smell of prison, smell of crime
I just didn't want to say i told you so
Someone called "hey yesterday boy!"
Take your well worn body away from my sight
Friends run like rats from a sinking ship
Leaving you naked to the night
Now you're known as the last resort
By the vultures on the make
They say
'you have to eat the hamburger
To appreciate the steak'
You always feel the sting of words
As children are so cruel
They called you ugly, ugly head
When you were at school
You've tried to make the best of things
But it seems you've given in
They call you ugly, ugly head
Something makes you feel the living sin
Things must feel so insecure
When you're on your last legs
You're swimming in the coffee pot
Drowning in the dregs
But you haven't got the sense to die
(or get a decent job)
To look into a mirror
Or at the very worst some kind of god
You need something to believe in
I just wish it was yourself
Try to summon up the guts
To rectify your ailing health
For there's something round the corner
Waiting just out of sight
That'll stop you feeling low and limp
And naked to the night
You always feel the sting of words
As children are so cruel
They called you ugly, ugly head
When you were at school
You've tried to make the best of things
But it seems you've given in
They call you ugly, ugly head
Something makes you feel the living sin
Ugly, ugly, ugly
Ugly, ugly, ugly
Ugly, ugly, ugly
Ugly head!

2. _ Split Lip
Ow!
Split lip
It seems you need another
Split lip
Shut you mouth
Your noisy mouth
Before i put a fist in it
Face hit
Split lip
You talk and talk and talk
But its all mouth
And no hands at all
Just jealousy at its darkest green
Destroying all your picture dreams
Split lip
Keep your cool
In the bad school
Pieces of flotsam and jetsam
Backlash hit me
And all the rest of them
Split lip
I'd like to be the one
That teaches you a lesson
You deserve
You haven't heard
Split lip!
C'mon and hit me!
Gimme a split lip
Split lip
I'll shoot you from the hip
Split lip
I'll strike you down
When you're not looking
Split lip
So they say
"forgive, forget"
Forget what?
Forget me not
But it's more fun
To hit back
With a split lip
Pieces of flotsam and jetsam
And all the ragged rest of them
Split lip
And it seems sick lie
My devotion
You and i , emotion
Oh try to kiss me kill me
Kiss me kill me
I'll shoot you from the hip
{suck on this}
Blood drenched
Blood-soaked
Seed choked
Muscle wrenched out
Slit slipped
Knuckle wrapped
Fist fried
Tongue-tied
Slit slipped
Cracked whip
Low slung
Limp-hung
Thigh torn
Heart bled
Raw red
Heat horn
Repeat verse

3. _ Shinning Sinners
Well i'm walkin' blind down danger street
The street where eyes don't dare to meet
Dirt-doorways frame silhouettes
A teeth-grind-grinning smile of threat
Down here you ask for all you get
These east side angrys'll getchoo yet
Ignore the cat calls look straight ahead
You could wind up the other side of dead
(if you're lucky)
Well i took a glance sideways
Straight into some chicano chick's eyes
They were pretty wild
Like she'd been snortin' some of that cocaine
She was mean for trouble
Boilin' for blood
But i had to say she was stacked
>from the tip of her toes
To her flaming red hair
She's gonna drag me up to her carnal cage of no way out desire
Help, help
You gotta help yourself
Help me, help me
You son of a gun
You gotta run muchacho run
Well i was getting to know the neighbourhood
Getting to know how it looked and smelled
Watching the windows
In tenement hell
Love was rape
And love for sale
And death a fact of life
Love was rare
But who cares, who cares
When you're living by the knife
Well i took a slug of bitter coffee
Pulled a face as bitter hit me
End up with a new mouth
Carved where my throat used to be
And then i saw him
Tall and proud
Wearing the entire city garbage dump
Around his neck and wrists
And then i saw him
Dirty red chicano sweat bandanna
And colours
Held together by filth and fury
Oh wow-ee-ow
The leader of the shining sinners
The leader of the shining sinners
And she was by his side
This vampira i'd seen earlier
She looked at me the look of scum
Help, help
You gotta help yourself
Help me, help me
You son of a gun
You gotta run muchacho run
He walked
Did i say walked?
Well i mean waaalked
Right up to me at a slow pace
He looked down at me and said
"shee-it!"
My knees were bucklin'
My brow was sweatin'
I stared straight ahead at his knee cap
I had to strike soon
The leader of the shining sinners
Sweet 'n' sharp and
Cool 'n' calm
He lives for them
They die for him
Bitten through with nails of hatred
He takes his band of laughing dead
To gather up the wages of skin
Keep my eyes upon the pavement
Nothing else could save me
In this battlefield of blood and bruises
I'll take this brave stiletto
And with all the courage left in my heart
I'll . . . i'll take the life of the leader of the shining sinners
He lay upon the ground
Coughing up blood
He looked up at me
Yes i was the big one now
And said
"i wanted to shake your hand
You little runt
For having the guts to walk into my neighbourhood
I liked you!"
And with that he died
Leaderless and laughless
The wastrels of the shining sinners
Lay me out like some dead cat on the ground
I taste the taste of human filth
My courage caves in on itself
Now no-one's leading anyone anymore
And i wondered what i did it for
And i wondered what i did it for
Why did i do it?
Why?
Why did i do it?
Why - why did i do it?
Why?
Why?
Why?

4. _ Tenderness Is A Weakness
She was always alone
Kept herself under lock and key
Just her sorrows for all to see
She would break up and cry for me
Throw her away
Blow the ash from the ashtray
Leave her alone to play
Leave her alone to pray
And now you wonder why
I put out the flame to die
I'll hold on to my mystery
Secrets that make up me
In what's real and fantasy
Tenderness is a weakness
It tears down your fortresses
Makes you easy access
Tenderness is a weakness
It makes you so vulnerable
He was always alone
Told me he liked it best that way
Just a victim of circumstance
Just a loser who'd lost his chance
Truth, love and lies
They were all and the same to him
But he'd never given in
To the ultimate sin
And now you wonder why
I put out the flame in my eyes
I'll hold on to my mystery
Secrets that make up me
In what's real and fantasy
Tenderness is a weakness
It tears down your fortresses
Makes you easy access (and i guess that)
Tenderness is a weakness
It makes you so vulnerable
To that sick dangerous feeling
We all know as love
I cried for you
I even lied for you
I died a thousand times for you
I committed endless crimes for you
I sold my soul to some devil
To do with what he will
Now i'll lock up my heart
And throw away the key
Love have no part in my destiny
Love have no part in my destiny

5. _ Crime Sublime
I love you when you're black and blue
I love you when you're sad
Love like sparks flies out of you
The best love that i ever had
Could this be a crime
To feel so sublime?
My heart cries like the sea at night
For love crimes thrown away
And though i pray with all my might
I know you'll never, ever stay
Could this be a crime
To feel so sublime?
Come to me my pale face baby
Come to me and don't be pale
Just two minutes silence
For my dead heart
Could this be a crime
To feel so sublime?

6. _ Solo Adultos
The cops had the boys
Up against the car
Down santa monica boulevard
Baby food for the rich and sick
Thank la for spawning it
High pile hair
Low slung breasts
The big hung boy
The deep cut dress
Ran a chicken ranch
For a guy named tex
Didn't know who tex
Would bring home next
One from a slum
One who was a bum
One on the run
And somebody's son
One whose mother was in on the kick
Baby food for the rich and sick
There's cops at the hatch
But she doesn't even hear
She's too busy practising santeria
Oh chango chango
Oh chango chango
Chango chango won't you bring me luck
Plenty of money
Oh yes! and a little bit of love
Trussed up tight
On a mattress of thorns
Four limbs tied to the corner of the bed
Mummy's goodbyes ringing in my head
Mummy's goodbyes ringing in my head
Goodbye, goodbye
There's someone at the till
And someone at the tools
Hot brand iron
And a collar of steel
Somebody put my name on a runaway list
I never thought i'd get caught like this
She's down below at a coconut shrine
Cryin' chango chango won't you bring me a man
A man who is clean
Who never acts mean
And you know where he's been
Someone from a dream that is
Someone who'll take me away from here
Me! the finest madame in mexico city
Being den mother in a nursery
I'd like to put them out of their misery
But a gun to the temple don't seem like me
I'd like to put them out of their misery
But a gun to the temple don't seem like me

7. _ You Have
Oh you have the saddest eyes
That i have ever seen
Secret sorrows of a heart
That breaks so easily
Don't let me catch you crying
Don't let me catch you crying
Watching through the pane of glass
The final silent scenes
You became a fading face
In morning's half forgotten dream
Don't let me catch you crying
Just hear the sad breeze sighing
You have
You have
You have the first ice of winter
I have the first rain of summer
You have the sad signs of sorrow
I have to leave you tomorrow
Words on a torn piece of paper
Escape from the window forever
Memories don't seem to matter
When crushed under heel in the gutter
Oh you have the saddest eyes
That i have ever seen
Secret sorrows of a heart
That breaks so easily
Don't let me catch you crying
Just hear the sad breeze sighing
You have
You have
I wander out along the rain washed streets
Blinded with tears
And kicking cans
Wrecked and wild
With an ever-crushing loneliness
Feverish and tousled
With an ever-crushing love
I know i won't find any answers here
I know my pleading voice bounds back an echo
It ricochets back down the cavernous alley
Hey don't be a stranger
Sad how misguided and confused
We suffer inside
Stumbling from one shaky stepping stone
To another
Reaching out for a blind, blind love
Reaching out for a blind, blind love
Small we fall easy prey to self-pity
Wishing i was with you on the other side
Maybe tomorrow i'll join you in paradise
Maybe tomorrow i'll join you in paradise

8. _ Gutter Hearts
Sitting on the kerb
You wipe the tears away again
The gutter holds your sallow hearts
That wash down with the rain
Barbed and brittle hands that push
The hair out of your eyes
Pavement fires a-flicker
Like a host of fire flies
My song calls from the gutter
And the gutter sings to me
A roundabout of down and outs
In cardboard box city
My song calls from the gutter
And the gutter sings to me
A roundabout of down and outs
A dark cacophony
The wolven of the orphan gangs
Take turns to search and steal
They splash about the puddles
And are trodden under heel
They bathe their pearly faces
In the lights of chinatown
And they lick their pearly fingers
When the street lamps flicker down
My song calls from the gutter
And the gutter sings to me
A roundabout of down and outs
In cardboard box city
My song calls from the gutter
And the gutter sings to me
A roundabout of down and outs
A dark cacophony
All night i've been up
With the bitterest of thoughts
I can't seem to throw
All my cares to the wind
Makes me sleep feverish
Makes me sleep scared
Pillow of secrets
And blanket of sins

9. _ Joey Demento
Ah well!
Don't you worry 'bout joey
Joey he have a nine life
Don't you worry 'bout joey

Bonfires under cars

Light a bonfire under her
Now joey going to get a gun pow
And blow out the brains of the world
Now joey going to get a gun pow
And blow out the brains of the world
Ca va?

10. _ Pink Shack Blues
There's a colour tv in the pink shack
But the paint's peelin' off the walls
Take a sneaky photo by the pink shack
In a pair of muddy overalls
Pay a ragged dollar for my snapshot mister
Put a big grin on my face
Call "hey, sonny!" from your door, chiquita
If the colour isn't to your taste
She's callin' out to me
Now she's bawlin' out to me
And she's singin' right out of key
"oh, lover man where can you be?"
Lost little orphans on the roadside
On the steps of the roach motel
Little faces flicker in the go-go neon
Seems they've got something to sell
Take my photograph for a dollar mister
Up against the pink shack wall
Call "hey, sonny!" from your door chiquita
Throw tequila kisses to us all
She's callin' out to me
And it's only half past three
She's callin' out to me
"lover man where can you be?"
She's callin' out to me
Now she's bawlin' out to me
And she's singin' right out of key
"oh, lover man where can you be?"
There's room enough for two in the pink shack
With a black rat on my knee
Backroom tequila in the bathroom
And a soapbox colour tv
Cockroaches crawlin' round the pink shack
But please don't crawl on me
Five in a bed in the pink shack
But there's really only room for three
She's callin' out to me
And it's only half past three
And she's singin' right out of key
"oh, lover man where can you be?"
She's calling out to me
And she's bawling out to me
And she's singing right out of key
"oh, lover man where can you be"
"oh, lover man where can you be"

11. _ Hell Was A City
Found me out drunk and abandoned
All my horizons in flame
Crying tell all my friends to forget me
'cause i'll never see them again
Oh go tell them all to forget me
There's no love left in me for them
Something is stirring deep inside of me
And i'll never see them again
How long do you think that you're going to lick
All of the boots that kick you?
You've had your face in the dirt for too long
Sweet revenge long overdue
Oh go tell them all to forget me
There's no love left in me for them
Something is stirring deep inside of me
And i'll never see them again
I looked at the manhattan skyline
The bitterest tears in my eyes
A big ball of slime in the cesspool of life
Under an open sore sky
Oh go tell them all to forget me
There's no love left in me for them
Something is stirring deep inside of me
And i'll never see them again
It took me all this time to realise
That hell was a city on earth
And jesus died for me to despise
The pitiful waste of his birth
I craved for the filth of the city
Gold pathway of dreams from my heart
But acid of misery ate up the gold
And sent me right back to the start
Oh go tell them all to forget me
There's no love left in me for them
Something is stirring deep inside of me
And i'll never see them again

12. _ The Boy Who Came Back
He woke to the sound of the birds in the morning
Felt charged with a new lease of life
Time to break out of his present surroundings
A mother, a child and a wife
He'd not said good-bye to his last thread of childhood
It lay just beyond his front gate
So he packed just a few things
And he packed in his job
And he prayed he'd not left it too late
He turned and he said
"well we always have time,
Time on our side
And there's time for this boy to turn back"
Joy held his heart
As he took to the road
Cast all his sorrow
To the breeze
Knew in his heart
It was the right thing to do
For he had to search out
His belief
Spring came and fall went
The year ran away
Love, hate and heartache ran too
Felt himself drift
Into memories of home
And the loneliness he lived on through
He turned and he said
"well we always have time,
Time on our side
And there's time for this boy to turn back"
And he'd learnt about life
But he'd lost out on love
He was no longer only a boy
There were lines on his face
From the sun and the wind
But no lines there through
Laughter or joy
Shoes full of holes
But with fire in his soul
He walked down the dirt beaten track
Mother was gone
But his wife and child were living on
And they cried
"it's the boy who came back"
Goodbye through the evening
Goodbye through the night
Goodbye through the dreams
Through the sleep
Goodbye to our yesterdays
Hello tomorrow
It seems we were destined to meet
He turned and he said
"well we always have time,
Time on our side
And there's time for this boy to turn back"
