  1. Ghost Train - Instrumental

  2. Nightmare Journey

Standing on the corner trying to hitch a ride
Dark clouds gathered above me
Lightning cracked in the sky
No- one stopping, all cars passing by
The terrible sound of thunder, like the last Amen
Then a car pulled up beside me, and a voice said, 'Get in'.

Nightmare journey, nightmare journey

The driver was laughing as we drove into the storm
There was blood on the carpet, the seats were all slashed and torn
I asked him were he was going, as he reached past me to lock the door
'Going to Hell!' he said, and he patted my knee with his claw

Nightmare journey

Yes I rode with the Devil, and a bargain was struck
If I gave him my soul, he would bring me good luck
So I sold my soul to the Devil, but good luck I've had none
The Devil done tricked me, Hell's where I belong

Nightmare journey, nightmare journey
 

It's war, boy!
War torn n folorn, standing stranded in the sand
Wonderin where the next one's gonna land
I'm wonderin where the next bomb's gonna land
There's a dismembered hand stickin outta the sand
Bones n gore, poor guy must be sore
Goin around empty handed
Now I know where that one landed

War Boy
War boy torn for toy

In chill nightfall, still the bombs fall
Until the rising sun found the sound of guns
Death
Drawn on the dawn

I'm a haunted, scorned war boy
They're tearing up my toy
Killjoy, killjoy
You're scaring up my boy
He's tearing up his toy
He's tearing up his toy

War Boy
War boy torn for toy
 

Tony the phoney and his yankee crony, selling us shit n feeding us baloney
Now they're gonna start up Armageddon n the only one who's laughing is Osama Bin Laden
Stock markets crashin, the treaties they're trashin, startin up wars like they're goin outta fashion
Don't give a fuck bout the United Nations, gonna have the whole world on battle stations
Don't give a fuck what the rest of us reckon, long as they can keep on sellin their weapons
When they're done killin the Iraqis, they'll start on the Koreans, Cubans and the Pakis

How did we let them get this far?
Who are the bastards that started this whole hoo ha, huh?
Low dark rap

George talks about the 'Axis of Evil' - like he's on a mission from God to fight the Devil
Telling us that they're jealous of our freedoms, but when we raise our voices to protest, you do not heed 'em
Big Up to all the people that protest and the demonstrators that are under arrest
What kinda world are we leavin our children? The way thing are goin, looks like they'll hafta build one

How did we let them get this far?
Who are the bastards that started this whole hoo ha, huh?
Low dark rap

Don't call me a Saddam sympathiser, I aint stoopid like you man, I'm wiser
Don't accuse me of wantin appeasment, but who the fuck made you the world's policeman?
Tony, you're no better than Margret, she was a bitch, but you've made me a target
You weren't prepared to give peace a chance, fuck you man, vive` La France

How did we let them get this far?
Who are the bastards that started this whole hoo ha, huh?
Low dark rap

When people are dyin in the sand n the mud, I wonder how you're gonna wash your hands of their blood?
When soldiers don't come back from the slaughter, whatcha gonna tell their wives n their daughters?
All the money being spent on the war could be spent on the starvin, the sick n the poor
What you're doin, well it aint no solution, get outta the way man, here comes the revolution

How did we let them get this far?
Who are the bastards that started this whole hoo ha, huh?
 
 

Winter
The leaves don't leave the trees
Land slips away
Winter
Aches of the head
Aches of the headaches
Winter

Drained and demeaned by a demon dream
A snore popped me open
Sweat - drenched n shivering
Remembering, remembering...

Well I fell
Down into Hell
I couldn't stand the smell
The goat was ringing his bell
Sulphurous fumes boiling up from the floor
Back being scratched by a devils' claw

Remembering the dream
My spirit turned to steam
Condensing onto the ground
Heaven never found

Well I fell
Down into hell
But I shot back out
Like a bullet from a barrel
I screamed
At what I dreamed
Nothin was as it seemed
I cannot be redeemed

I could not be redeemed
Damned
Deemed part of a scheme
Spirit turned to steam
Condensing onto the ground
Heaven never found
 

 8.  She's a Rebel

Likes her music really loud, always stands out in the crowd
She never wears a dress, cos she's different from the rest
Hangs round with the older boys, breaks their hearts like they were toys
Teachers think that she's a fool, cos she's always skiving school

She's a rebel
Oh yeah

Stays out late every night, sometimes she starts a fight
Nevewr says just where she's bin, - in the bar, drinking gin
Got a tattoo on her bum that she hasn't shown her mum
Parents think that she's gone too far, cos she never wears a bra

She's a rebel
Oh yeah

I want to make her mine, I know that she's the one
If I could win her love I know we'd have lots of fun

Hangs round with the older boys, - making love, and making noise
Parents think that she's gone too far, cos she never wears a bra
Got a tattoo on her bum that she hasn't shown her mum
She dosen't have any shame, - she's a rebel, she can't be tamed

She's a rebel
Oh yeah
