NO TIME TO WASTE
I just wanna be with you again,
I just wanna be with you, my good friend.
It doesn't have to be to the bitter end,
Ah come on now!
Don't you wanna get up to no good,
Like two bad motherfuckers in a quiet neighbourhood?
Ah come on!
I just wanna be with you, my love,
(Ah come on!)
I just wanna swing down from above.
(Ah come on!)
Don't you miss the feel of the push and shove?
Ah come on now!
Don't you wanna do something that feels good?
Don't you wanna do all the things that your mumma said you never should?
Ah come on stay,
Come on stay.
Stay and play!
I just wanna be with you, my man,
And I want you to bring it like I know you can.
You hit something with sticks,
And I'll electrocute an old tin can...
Ah come on now,
Don't you wanna get up to no good,
Like two bad motherfuckers in a quite neighbourhood?
Ah come on stay,
Come on stay.
Stay and play!
Before they lay,
You and me to waste.
Bom, bom, bom, yeah,
No time to waste.
Bom, bom, bom, yeah,
Don't hesitate, babe,
There's no time to waste!

CREATURES FROM THE BOG (HAVE NEEDS TOO)
Creatures from the bog,
Have needs too.
Werewolf dogs,
They howl when they feel blue.
Zombies in the fog,
Got things that they gots to do,
And this here slimy monster,
Wansta feed on you.
I gots ta - feed on you (x2)
I wants to breathe, breathe all over you.
I gots ta - feed on you (x2)
Now just because I told your Mum to mind her own damn biz,
And just because I told your Dad how excellent you kiss,
And just because I told your little sister she's so sweet,
Doesn't mean that you can hold out on me for a week.
Nooooooo, No, Noooooooo,
I doesn't give you the right,
Noooooooo, no no no!
To lock me out all night!
And just because I rocked up at your work,
Like some disrespectful punk,
Covered in glass and blood and leaves,
And obviously drunk,
Just to tell you that I smashed your car,
And left it out of town,
Doesn't mean that you can get up,
On bringin' me down!
Nooooooo, no, nooooo,
It doesn't give you the right,
Nooooo, no, no, noooooo,
To lock me out all night...
'Cos creatures from the bog,
Have needs too.
Werewolf dogs,
They howl when they feel blue.
Zombies in the fog,
Got things that they gots to do,
And this here slimy monster,
Wansta feed on you.
I gots ta - feed on you,
I needsta - feed on you,
I wants to bleed n' breed all over you.
I gots ta - feed on you (x2)
Ugh...

WEIRD KIDS
You must be new,
I do not think that I have seen you here before.
Let me give you some advice,
Before they kick you out the door.
You're gonna meet some weird kids tonight,
You're gonna meet some weird kids tonight,
But it's alright,
You'll do fine,
Just keep your skinny little butt in line.
Look up at the sky,
Do you see any stars?
Of course you can't.
You can't see stars,
In seedy old bars.
You're gonna meet some weird kids tonight,
You're gonna meet some weird kids tonight,
But it's alright,
You'll do fine,
Just keep your skinny little butt in line.
Weird kids tonight....
Oh my God!
I can't believe my eyes!
Oh Lord,
I cannot believe my eyes!
It's all too big!
It's all too heavy!
It's all too weird for me!
To messed up for me!
It's all too big!
It's all too heavy!
It's all too strange,
For my brain.
Weird kids, kids, kids...

RAININ' FIRE
Am I gonna survive,
This the longest of knives?
I really don't know.
Am I gonna pull through,
The other side of the blue?
I really don't know
I really don't know,
But Lord, it's rainin' on me now.
It's rainin' on me now.
Yes, all I know,
Is that it's rainin' on me now.
And what about you?
Do you know what to do?
Because I truly haven't a clue.
Well then, what about you?
Are you the Big Boogaloo?
'Cos I really don't know...
But Lord, it's rainin' on me now.
It's rainin' on me now.
Yes, all I know,
Is that it's rainin' on me now.
And this ain't no pleasant summer shower:
IT'S RAININ' FIRE!
And there ain't no putting these flames out:
THE FLAMES BURN HIGHER!

AN INTERESTING LIFE
It's one thirty am,
I'm at the Scarab Bar again,
Drinking,
And conspiring with my new friends.
Legends,
One and all,
None of whom I will recall,
Tomorrow,
As I'm writhing 'round in pain.
But it's the cost,
It's the price,
Of an interesting life.
You take off into the air,
Just like a plane.
You climb higher,
And higher,
'Til your wings catch on fire.
Then you plummet,
Back to the planet,
Yet again...
Singin' "Oh Mary,
My love,
My beautiful friend."
Singin' "Oh Mary,
The fun never ends..."
Singin' "Oh Mary,
From up above,
From heaven descend!"
Singin' "Oh Mary,
Forgive me,
Again..."
Now, there's a man,
Over there.
He's got very expensive hair,
But only cheap and nasty things to say.
And some bloke,
That I just met,
Man, his name I already forget.
He bored me so bad I just balked,
And walked,
Away.
Singin' "Oh Mary,
My love,
My beautiful friend."
Singin' "Oh Mary,
The fun never ends..."
Singin' "Oh Mary,
From up above,
From heaven descend!"
Singin' "Oh Mary,
Forgive me,
Again..."
It's one thirty am,
I'm at the Scarab Bar again,
Watching all of my money wash down the drain.
And soon the sun she will rise,
And splash acid into my eyes,
And then,
I will truly,
Suffer the pain...

Never Gonna Be A DJ

NEVER GONNA BE A DJ
I quit my job washing dishes and scrubbing pans the other night.
I just walked out of the kitchen while they weren't lookin',
Even though I knew that it wasn't right.
But the other kitchen hand, you see,
Well, he was only twenty three.
They found him floating lifeless in the Yarra,
And now he will never be,
All of those things he wanted to be.
He wanted to be a DJ,
But all he ever did was work all day,
And now he's never gonna be no DJ
Never gonna be a DJ, b-baby,
Never gonna be a DJ.
Never gonna be a doo-da-doo-doo-doo
So as I was drying the cutlery,
Sweeping the floors,
And emptying the bins.
And as the chefs burned their arms and swore,
I got to thinkin' about things - yet again!
And I re-realised that life is far too short to waste,
Doing something that you really hate.
So if you're gonna do it,
Then go ahead and do it,
Before it's too late.
Before it's too late.
Never gonna be a DJ, b-baby,
Never gonna be a DJ.
Never gonna be a DJ.
Never gonna be a doo-da-doo-doo-doo
And then that night as I was lying in my bed,
I heard this voice inside my head.
It said: "G'day Seamus"
And I said: "Umm ... G'day Steve...
Errr ... aren't you supposed to be dead?"
"Yeah that's right,
Incredibly perceptive as usual!
But I just wanted to tell you about how I really died.
And I just wanted to give you,
A little peace of mind,
And let you know that it's alright...
C'mon now Momma - it's alright!"

10 MILLION DOLLAR DADDY
You may find me arrogant and petulant and rude.
What can I say?
A living legend often gets misunderstood.
(It's true a living legend often gets misunderstood.)
Now I'm not trying to prove a point,
Because clearly I am right.
We all know who you go home with,
At the end of the night.
(Yes we all know who she goes home with at the end of the night.)
I'm your 10 Million Dollar Daddy,
Shaking down the neighbourhood.
This ain't no small-fry, baby,
We're talkin' things of stone and wood!
(This ain't no small-fry baby. He's talking things of stone and wood)
Ah Cahmaan!
You know you love it,
You know it makes you sweat!
All it takes is "1,2,3,4!"
And your panties get all wet!
(Yes all it takes is 1,2,3,4 and her panties get all wet.)
And you remind me of a dirty girl,
That I once met.
Hey Rock n' Roll,
I'm glad you're in my life...
And yet...
Rock n' Roll, my love,
We need to talk.
We need to talk.
Now I remember long ago,
The first time that we met,
I looked into your longing eyes and said:
"You got a cigarette?"
(He looked into her longing eyes and said:
"Gimme a cigarette!")
I brazenly blew in your face,
You muttered not a word.
'Twas there and then you took my hand,
And shoved it up your skirt!
('Twas there and then she took his greedy hand,
And shoved it up her skirt.)
And you remind me of a dirty song,
That I once heard.
Hey, Rock n' Roll,
I'm glad you're in my life,
And you know that I'm your bird.
But Rock n' Roll, my love,
We need to talk.
We need to talk.

It doesn't have to be to the bitter end,

Don't you wanna get up to no good,
Like two mad, bad brothers in a quiet neighbourhood?
Ah come on!
I just wanna be with you, my love,
(Ah come on!)
I just wanna swing down from above.
(Ah come on!)
Don't you miss the feel of the push and shove?
Ah come on now!

Don't you wanna do all the things that your mumma said you never should?
Ah come on stay,
Come on stay.
Stay and play!

And I want you to bring it like I know you can.
You hit something with sticks,
And I'll electrocute an old tin can...
Ah come on now,
Don't you wanna get up to no good,
Like two loud, proud brothers in a quite neighbourhood?
Ah come on stay,
Come on stay.
Stay and play!
Before they lay,
You and me to waste.
Bom, bom, bom, yeah,
No time to waste.
Bom, bom, bom, yeah,
Don't hesitate, babe,
There's no time to waste!
