When I walk down the crowded street
I see people and I feel better
They said revenge isn’t sweet
But I don’t feel the slightest bit bitter

Here He Comes Again – 5th February 1988
He walked into the bar like he owned the place
Everyone turned, drawn to his magnetic face
His hair was bedraggled by the rain
I heard someone whisper ‘Look out, here he comes again.’
Tornado – 3rd February 1988
You hit me with your mighty power
You made the buildings of my heart crumble and cower
You left me alone in a torrential storm
I watched in horror at your dancing form
You swept me off my feet on that rainy day
But the sun shines now that you’ve gone away
Being Brave – 2nd February 1988
There’s something about being brave
When you’re in their hands, you are their slave
There’s someone telling you that you must behave
When your life is the thing that you must save
And when revenge is the only thing that you crave
I tell you there’s something about being brave
Alcohol Frenzy – 1st February 1988
Weekend’s coming but who needs an excuse?
I’ll do anything to help my alcohol abuse
Cans or glasses, anything will do
I’m gonna drink until I spew
And when tomorrow comes I’ll start again
I just want to feel you inside my brain
Alcohol frenzy – let’s get real gone
Alcohol frenzy – session on
Salad – 31st January 1988
Lettuce, tomato and cheese
Make it with ease
A small dash of cream
Waiting for me like a dream
A small potato, it will enhance
They make them real good in France
For you, I wrote this ballad
Now I’m hungry for you – my salad
The Contract – 22nd January 1988
You attracted me with your charming smile
You attached yourself, if only for a while
You attacked me to try and make a pact
In fact, your impact held me to your contract
You took away my freedom but I gave you guilt
You turned me upside down and changed the way I felt
And now from this contract, you wish to resign
It’s not that easy you see cos you’ve got something of mine
The love I gave you will not save you
I cannot hate you but I will break you
And your contracts
Midnight – 21st January 1988
You signify – another day gone by
Now is night – and it’s not all right
But yesterday – will be the same today
And now – is just the same somehow
Easy Prey – 18th January 1988
See them drinking at the bar
Standing there and acting hard
Muscles bulging under leather
Smashing glasses and heads together
Sitting quietly at a corner table
Tied to my drink like a dog to a kennel
Watching all the people walking by
Looking from the corner of my eye
A brawl ensues over who owns the girl
Just take her away and leave me alone
I’m not man enough for your brutal world
Just an easy prey when I’m on my own
Fucking up my drunken night
See a shrimp and start a fight
Your girls laughing at me
Only came for the booze
Nothing else to do
No one else to go and see
Decline – 16th January 1988
If I fell from this building would you catch me?
A decline from your order – go ahead and despatch me
Send me away, it’s my desire to fly
Push me too far and I’ll just pass you by
I’d like to tell the answers – but I decline
It’s the end of the world but I feel fine
