Instrumental
2. Wrathchild (Harris)
Le single ci-dessous contient deux titres, Twilight Zone et Wrathchild.
I was born into a scene,
Of angriness and greed,
Of dominance and persecution.
My mother was a queen,
My dad I've never seen,
I was never meant to be.
Now I spend my time
Looking all around,
For a man that's nowhere
To be found.
Until I find him,
I'm never gonna stop searching.
I'm going to find my man,
Gonna travel round.
Cos I'm a wrathchild,
Yeah I'm a wrathchild,
Well I'm a wrathchild.
I'm coming to get you,
Ooh yeah yeah.
Some say it shouldn't matter,
Ain't nothing gonna alter,
The course of my destination.
But I know I've gotta find,
Some serious peace of mind,
Or I know I'll just go crazy.
Now I spend my time
Looking all around.
For a man that's nowhere
To be found.
Until I find him,
I'm never gonna stop searching.
I'm going to find my man,
Gonna travel round.
'Cos I'm a wrathchild,
Well I'm a wrathchild,
Yeah I'm a wrathchild.
I'm coming to get you,
Ooh yeah yeah.
3. Murders In The Rue Morgue (Harris)
I remember it as plain as day,
Although it happened in the dark of night.
I was strolling through the streets of Paris,
It was cold, it was starting to rain.
And then I heard a piercing scream,
And I rushed to the scene of the crime.
But all I found was the butchered remains,
Of two girls laying side by side.
Murders in the Rue Morgue,
Someone call the gendarmes.
Murders in the Rue Morgue,
Vite before the killers go free.
There's some people coming down the street,
At last someone's heard my call.
I can't understand why they're pointing at me,
I never done nothing at all.
Well I must have got some blood on my hands,
Because everybody's shouting at me.
I can't speak French so I couldn't explain,
And like a fool, started running away.
Murders in the Rue Morgue,
Someone call the gendarmes.
Murder in the Rue Morgue,
Am I ever going to be free.
And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law,
All of France is looking for me.
I've gotta find a way across the border for sure,
Down to the South of Italy.
Murders in the Rue Morgue,
Running from the gendarme.
Murders in the Rue Morgue,
I'm never going home.
Well I made it to the border at last
But I can't erase the scene from my mind,
Any time somebody stares at me,
Well I just start running blind.
Well I'm running through the shadows tonight
Away from the staring eyes.
Any day they'll be looking for me
'Cos I know I show the signs of...
Murders in the Rue Morgue,
Running from the gendarmes.
Murders in the Rue Morgue,
Running from the arms of the law.
Murders in the Rue Morgue,
Running from the gendarmes.
Murders in the Rue Morgue,
Am I ever gonna be free.
It took so long and I'm getting so tired,
I'm running out of places to hide.
Should I return to the scene of the crime
Where the two young victims died.
If I could go to somebody for help
To get me out of trouble for sure.
But I know that it's on my mind
That my doctor said I've done it before.
Murders in the Rue Morgue,
They're never gonna find me.
Murders in the Rue Morgue,
I'm never going home.
4. Another Life (Harris)
As I lay here lying on my bed,
Sweet voices come into my head.
What it is I wanna know,
Please won't you tell me it's got to go.
There's a feeling that's inside me,
Telling me to get away.
But I'm so tired of living,
I might as well end today.
5. Genghis Khan (Harris)
Instrumental
6. Innocent Exile (Harris)
My life is so empty,
Nothing to live for.
My mind is all confusion,
'Cos I defied the law.
When you weren't there to help me,
I lost my mind and ran.
I never had no trouble,
Before this all began.
My life is so empty,
Nothing to live for.
My mind is all confusion,
'Cos I defied the law.
When you weren't there to help me,
I lost my mind and ran.
I never had no trouble,
Before this all began.
I'm running away,
Nowhere to go,
I'm lost and tired,
And I just don't know.
They say I killed a woman,
They know it isn't true.
They're just trying to frame me,
And all because of you.
Lord I'm running.
7. Killers (Harris-Di'Anno)
You walk through the subway,
His eyes burn a hole in your back.
A footstep behind you,
He lunges prepared for attack.
Scream for mercy,
He laughs as he's watching you bleed.
Killer behind you,
His blood lust defies all his needs.
My innocent victims
Are slaughtered with wrath and despise,
The mocking religion of hatred
That burns in the night.
I have no-one,
Am bound to destroy
All this greed.
A voice inside me,
Compelling to satisfy me.
I can see,
What a life's meant to be.
You'll never know,
How I came to foresee.
My faith in believing is stronger
Than lifelines and ties,
With the glimmer of metal
My moment is ready to strike.
The death call arises,
A scream breaks the still of the night.
Another tomorrow
Remember to walk in the light.
I have found you,
And now there is no place to run.
Excitement shakes me,
Oh God help me what have I done.
Yeah I've done it again!
He walks through the subway
His eyes burn a hole through your back.
A footstep behind you
He lunges prepared for attack.
Scream for mercy,
He laughs as he's watching you bleed.
Killer behind you,
His blood lust defies all his needs.
Look out I'm coming for you!
8. Prodigal Son (Harris)
Listen to me lamia, listen to what
I've got to say,
I've got these feelings and they
Won't go away.
I've got these fears inside that'll
Bring me to my knees,
Oh help me lamia, or I'm sure
I'll die oh please.
I feel unsettled now I know that
I've done wrong.
I've messed around with mystic things
And magic for far too long.
I feel I'm being paid with this
Nightmare inside me.
The devil's got a hold on my soul,
And he just won't let it be.
I'm on my knees,
Oh help me please.
I'm on my knees,
Help me please.
Oh lamia please try to help me.
The devil's got a hold of my soul,
And he won't let me be.
Lamia I've got this curse,
I'm turning to bad.
The devil's got hold of my soul,
And it's driving me mad.
9. Purgatory (Harris)
Le single ci-dessous contient aussi le titre Genghis Khan.
Thinking of an age old dream,
Places I have never seen.
Fantasies lived times before,
I split my brain, melt through the floor.
Over clouds my mind will fly,
Forever now I can't think why,
My body tries to leave my soul,
Is it me? I just don't know.
Memories rising from the past,
The future shadows overcast.
Something's clutching at my head,
Through the darkness I'll be led.
Oh another time, another place,
Oh well another smile on another face.
When you see me floating up beside you,
You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you.
Please take me away,
Take me away,
So far away.
10. Drifter (Harris)
Look out now baby won't you take me away,
Sitting here I think it's gonna be a new day.
Gonna get my song 'til I can't go on,
Gonna keep on roaming gotta sing my song.
What you feeling when you hold me tight,
Gonna cuddle up to you tonight.
Gonna get you feeling so secure.
Listen child, don't you see there's a cure.
Anywhere got to get you away,
Feels so good, think it's gonna be a new day.
Gonna get my song 'til I cant go on,
Gonna keep on roaming gotta sing my song.
What you feeling when you hold me tight,
I wanna cuddle up to you tonight.
Gonna get you feeling so secure.
Listen child, don't you see there's a cure.
Anywhere got to get you away,
Feels so good, think it's gonna be a new day.
Gonna get my song 'til I cant go on,
Gonna keep on roaming gotta sing my song.
Gonna sing my song yeah,
And it won't take long.
Gonna sing my song yeah,
Won't you sing along.
I wan't you to sing it,
