Cassandra
Hey Cassandra, you know about the future
Is there any reason why you know it goes so sad
Somewhere in time another premonition
Or is it a memory of what happened in the past
Cassandra, when you cry
Cassandra
Cassandra, stay the night
Cassandra, tears so right
When will you know if you can break the danger
Haven't you seen by now what lies ahead
Nobody listens till it's too late to change it
Was it suspicion, no matter what you said
Cassandra, when you cry
Cassandra
Cassandra, stay the night
Cassandra, tears so right
Cassandra, when you cry
Cassandra, oooh oooh oooh
Cassandra, wooaaah
Cassandra, cry cry cry
Cassandra, tears so right
Cassandra

Prizefighters
Every day, a little harder
Look out boy, you're on your own
Every day a little softer
You don't seem to be on your toes
Its just a job swing with the punches
Pick up your hands, sting like a bee
Prizefighters ... heading for home
Prizefighters ... everyone knows
Prizefighters ... heading for home
Prizefighters ... everyone knows
Every day a little slower
Its just the sweat in my eyes
You don't look the way you used to
Don't drink that water though it tastes nice
On the ropes and in a corner
Just gotta give me one more chance
Prizefighters ... heading for home
Prizefighters ... everyone knows
Prizefighters ... heading for home
Prizefighters ... everyone knows
Who makes the money?
I didn't spend it
The dice were loaded once or twice
Prizefighters ... heading for home
Prizefighters ... everyone knows
Prizefighters ... heading for home
Prizefighters ... everyone knows
Prizefighters ... heading for home
Prizefighters ...
Prizefighters ...
Slot Machine
Would the lady care to dance?
Oh, yes! I'd love to!
(Ooooo
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
Gotta reach Atlantic City
I'm a winner every day
Blackjack holds no attraction
Just one game I play...
Get a grip on the handle of steel
Pull slowly, watch the wheels
When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine
It's too tough don't bank the anger
A black fever takes a hold on me
I play rough don't feel the danger
Won't give, baby nothing for free
I know the number I'm dreamin' of
Its just a symbol, a matter of luck
When you play with a slot machine
(Dontcha know you play with my heart?)
When you play with a slot machine
(Youre gonna tear it apart)
Stay cool hold yourself together
Keep praying that your lucks gonna turn
Don't be a fool, don't stay for ever
You know you're gonna get burned..
When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine
(Dontcha know you play with my heart?)
When you play with a slot machine
(Oh! No! No!)
When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine
Drat! I've torn my dress!
No! Really! Look...
Stadiums Of The Damned
Football Saturday
And our team has won
Looking for a fight
Now the game has just begun
All around our favoured nation
Some beat to a different drum
Carry knives and carry grudges
Drawing blood just for fun
If you stare at me
You will pay the price
Like the master race
We believe that might is right
It's war from the way I see it
Starting with the place you're born
Somewhere there's a light in the distance
Run for cover and keep me warm
Someday soon I'll taste sweet freedom
With a woman like you
I know that I can change
From gaol it's a hard climb upwards
There were others worse than me
I dreamt that an angel told me
Only love can set you free
Someday soon I'll taste sweet freedom
With a woman like you
I know that I can change
Don't Fall
Fascinating, Captain!
When I come in from the cold
I need somebody to hold
Sometimes it's the price you pay
Feels so good I can't say
Don't fall in love with me
I'm gonna hurt you can't you see?
Don't fall in love with me
It was never meant to be
Better stop wearin' that frown
Johnny comes marchin' into town
You can squeeze the trigger on my gun
Not to close, start to run!
Don't fall in love with me
I'm gonna hurt you can't you see?
Don't fall in love with me
It was never meant to be
[Repeat chorus through fade]
Oh How I Love You
Nobody knows what tomorrow may bring
Or how far we may be blown by the wind
Over the fields and far from home
There are those who'll try to rob of what you know
One thing that's clear
One thing I know
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you
Don't sail away to a distant shore
Searching for something found inside your front door
One thing you'll see
One thing you'll know
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you
You used to say that I'm so happy with you
Well nothing's changed its just the things we do
All those cloudy cloudy days
When the skies are turned to grey
Something you know
Something for sure
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you
[repeat through fade]
The Gulf
You know it's so hard
To be up before dawn
A few seconds' breath
A last cigarette
Execution fever
In a war torn land
Maybe it's the will of the Lord
Or the mind of man
There's been heavy fighting
In the Gulf of Iran
Or meet the kiss of the lash
Cover up your women
Like is says in the Koran
Maybe it's the will of the Lord
Or the mind of man
