Twistin’ the knife This was written about time spent in New Orleans. This charismatic City and its sights & sounds have an allure that needs to be experienced to be fully understood. Behind the music & the good times there sometimes lies a sinister element. Inspired by the lovely Tara and the girls from the Coyote Ugly Bar, New Orleans
1) Here I am, down on Decatur, Big Easy nights, don’t know what awaits you Bourbon Street , sights & sounds to please you, coyote girls, you can tip to tease you CHORUS: There’s a look of danger in the eye’s of strangers, when they’re twistin’ in the knife They will turn the tables as soon as they’re able, when they’re twistin’ in the knife.
2) Elysian Fields, a street car named Desire, a voodoo child tempered by the fire, Creole Queen on the Mississippi , jazz filled streets, Zydeco & Dixie Chorus Katrina came & brought you pain and took the City’s soul away I cried the night the music died, that kind of sorrow cuts inside Chorus
Cold Silence Pretty much supports the adage that you “don’t know what you’ve got until its gone”. The end of a relationship can bring the ultimate pain & that’s the territory this song covers. There's a strange irony to this song........
1) When the damage is done & there’s nowhere to run, it’s time to go separate ways Were both left feeling alone, like orphans in the storm, hearts lie broken & torn You where the one who knew me so well, how did our lives go from Heaven to Hell You’ve thrown it all away, You’ve thrown it all away
2) Each day I die a bit more inside, cold silence fills the night, our river of dreams just ran dry. Don’t know what I’ll do, for so long there was me & you Being alone cuts like a knife. You where the one who knew me so well, how did our lives go from Heaven to Hell You’ve thrown it all away, You’ve thrown it all away
3) Sometimes you’ve gotta fight or fall, remember when we could conquer all Life is a game we used to win. And when my days got dark, you came along & lit the spark All that I am is down to you You where the one who knew me so well, how did it all go from Heaven to Hell You’ve thrown it all away, You’ve thrown it all away
The Edge of falling 1) She was just another victim A child who dreamed a better life To get away, escape the small town Head for the city lights Out on the road, living is tough & life is so lonely Faces of strangers always cold & hard……. On the edge - edge of falling. On the edge - of a knife Steal away - in the darkness. run away - to survive.
2) In her mind she paints a picture When she sleeps she has a dream She’s always on the edge of falling She prays to be released Why baby why, do your tears go unnoticed, heart lies broken Core shaking sadness - is all you ever feel……. On the edge - edge of falling. On the edge - of a knife Steal away - in the darkness. run away - to survive.
Need a piece of heaven in your life Lady luck rewrite the book on how the story ends On the edge - edge of falling. On the edge - of a knife Steal away - in the darkness. run away - to survive. Black Sky This song was inspired by a certain German lady ..... :-) 1) Storm clouds - fill horizons of the land Brought with - a gesture of her hand Summon the elemental force Striking - on the witching hour……………. There’s trouble raging in the black sky Unleashed the legions of the night The hammer falls without a warning………… Here in the shadows of the darkness She crosses passages in time The screaming spirits will embrace her…………
2) Under the shadow of her whip Primeval passion runs so deep Bride of all evil be thy name Forged deep in hell’s burning flames There’s chaos reigning in the black sky Unholy order all around Your soul is lost within her dark eyes…………. A kiss of stone that starts the hunger The raven touch makes passion burn Days of forever now are waiting………….
Breathless, but still I am living Frozen - in cold winds of time Touched by this circle of madness Dreaming, don’t let me stop dreaming
3) Wings of the angel cover me Bonded in dark eternity Lady of illusion weave the spell Carried on wings of desire……………. There’s trouble raging in the black sky Unleashed the legions of the night The hammer falls without a warning…………
A kiss of stone that starts the hunger The raven touch makes passion burn Days of forever now are waiting……… “She comes through the black, black, sky” “There’s trouble raging in the black sky” Heaven’s Gate Dedicated and written about the babes at Daytona Bike Week, especially down Main Street!
1) You’ve got legs that reach the sky, when I see you temperatures rise You’ve got eyes that light the night, lips ready & willing this poor boy you excite. Most of all you got style, lay with me woman & stay now for a while. CHORUS: Reel me in, don’t make me wait, give me the key to Heaven’s gate Let me taste what you have got, sweet as sugar, but so damn hot.
2) When I saw you on Main Street , lipstick & leather, sassy hot & sweet You’ve got the walk, you turn it on, Daytona lady you make my motor run. You are the rock I gotta roll, I need to have you body, heart & soul.
3) You’ve got legs that reach the sky, when I see you temperatures rise You’ve got eyes that light the night, lips ready & willing this poor boy you excite. You’ve got the walk, you turn it on, Daytona lady you make my motor run. Most of all you got style, lay with me woman & stay now for a while.
We came to Rock ( Wir kamen um zu rocken )
Inspired by a night in the Rockfabrik club, Germany. http://www.rockfabrik-ludwigsburg.de Dedicated to the late Mel Galley - verse two contains titles of Trapeze songs as the lyrics. We c We came to rock, Wir kamen um zu rocken We came to rock, We came to rock 1) We only came to have a good time Push up the decibels and raise some hell The City sleeps - we’re gonna wake it Aint gonna stop until we’re played out So many faces out there in the crowd Fists raised up into the air We came to rock, Wir kamen um zu rocken We came to rock, We came to rock - “Rocken!”
2) We are the band you are the music Got metal runnin’ way back to the bone From coast to coast we’re gonna take it Just gonna let them good times roll………….. So many faces out there in the crowd Fists raised up into the air We came to rock, Wir kamen um zu rocken We came to rock, We came to rock So many faces out there in the crowd Fists raised up into the air We came to rock, Wir kamen um zu rocken We came to rock, We came to rock All lyrics written by Liam Doherty © 2008 |
