Unreleased

Seattle Head

When I was young I had dream
Movin' to the city, sight unseen
Nineteen years of age, I packed up my bags
Hollywood was all the rage

I came to you in 1984
You showed me in, then you shut the door
It didn't take me long to learn to play the game
Kick in the head always feel the same

Los Angeles, you're a fucking whore
Hollywood, you're an open sore

I played it well, and I played it fast
Livin' slow was in the past
Chicks and drugs and gettin' burned
Just few of the things I learned

Got sick and tired of being scared as hell
A wasted man, just shell of myself
But that was then, and this is now
My pretty baby, I've changed somehow

Los Angeles, you lost your grip
Drugs and lies and whores suckin' dick
Yeah!

I don't know if I can do it differently
LA had me will be so long

When I look, I can see things differently
What doesn't kill me makes me strong
It makes me strong
Strong

Strong

Los Angeles, I didn't sell my soul you you
Los Angeles, you thought you would kill me
You thought you would kill me
You thought you would take me down
You thought you would kill me
Fuck that, power to me!

Yeah!
Los Angeles, you're a fuckin' whore
A kick in the head(...undetermined)
I don't know if I could do it differently
LA had me for so long
When I look, I can see things differently
I get up, I crawl out
And now I'm strong
And now I'm strong

Sometimes it goes like this
Sometimes it's the only way
To learn
A kick in the head (4 x)

I wish you were dead
A kick in the head (2x)
Yeah... sometimes it goes like that
A kick in the head...

Who's To Blame

Go!

What did I do today?
Some people think I went and threw it away
But that was yesterday
I can't remember much of that anyway

I wonder who's to blame?
Or does it really matter much anyway?
Or if we stayed the same...
If anyone of us would be here today ... yeah

I don't care about it anymore
So tired of thinking it through
I don't care about it anymore
Who's to blame, me or you?

Ohh, I had so much fun
Was going to live so fast
And die very young
But I was 21, I'm so glad I'm here to sing this song ... yeah

I wonder who's to blame?
Or does it really matter much anyway?
Or if we stayed the same...
If anyone of us would be here today ... yeah

I don't care about it anymore
So tired of thinking it through
I don't care about it anymore
Who's to blame, me or you?

I don't care about it anymore
So tired of thinking it through
I don't care about it anymore
Who's to blame, me or you?

Superman

Fate finds a way
Of pickin you up when you're down

I remember everthing, and I know for sure
Ain't like it was before, I know I can shut
That door

I wanna be your superman
Won't you give me you hand
So I can show you

Let down your hair
And move on over next to me
I wanna see your skin, beautiful white, soft in the light
We'll just forget the past, we can have tonight at last

I wanna be your superman
Won't you give me you hand
So I can show you

So I can show you

I wanna be a superman (2x)

You can always lean on me
You can dress me to whatever
Your vision of a dream man is

Oh my little baby, can't you see
I wanna be your everything

I remember yesterday
It's a long ways away

I don't know just what your gonna do
But I always wanna be right next to you
Yeah!
I always wanna be right next to you
I wanna be a superman
Baby, won't you take my hand
I wanna be a superman

Song For Beverly

Why do you have to be so hateful?
Why do you have to be so sad?

Is it because you grew up too fast?
Did someone break your heart up bad?

You are so beautiful, you are it's true

Whatever happened to you lately?
Did you go off with the painted man?
Do you wonder, who's your mother?
Don't let your baby guess, who's you?

You are so beautiful, you are it's true

You are so beautiful, you are it's true (2x)

Put You Back

You walked the ocean
You crossed the sea
Sands of the desert
Sands beneath your feet

They wanna put ya back down
They wanna put ya back down, now
They wanna put ya back down
They're not gonna let you through

Time turns to hours
Days into weeks
Stars seem to guide him
Into the east

They wanna put ya back down, now
They wanna put ya back down
They wanna put ya back down now, babay
They're not gonna let you through

Well They wanna put you back down now, babay They wanna get rid of you They wanna put you back down now, baby They're not gonna let you through Did you leave anyone?
Your mother must be missin' her son
Is anybody waitin' for you
Or is this somethin' new?

Live without money
Live without home
Die without water

Well...
They wanna put you back down now, babay
They wanna put you back down
They wanna put you back down now, babay
They're not gonna let you through
Yeah, they wanna put you back down now, babay
They wanna get rid of you
Huh... they wanna put you back down now, baby
They're not gonna let you through
They wanna put you back down
They wanna put you back down, now
They wanna put you back down
They wanna put you back
Gonna put you back
They wanna put you back down (3x)
And get... rid of... you

Shinin' Down

Sister's in the old barn
Sleeping off a big storm
Brother's at the pool hall
Thinking all his bad thoughts

Papa's in the cellar
Sneaking off a quick drink
And god is up in heaven
No one cares what he thinks

Shinin' down, shinin' down

Mama's living in her grave
Buried with the frying pan
I'm just sitting on the porch
Waiting for the mailman
Papa doesn't have much hope
He wishes things were better
When I get a chance to leave
It's gonna be forever

Shinin' down, shinin' down... yeah!

At night sometimes I take a walk
Down by the power lines
Somewhere I can be alone
Sit and smell the ozone

God says "don't you be afraid"
He can make it better
If I get a chance to leave, it's gonna be forever

Shinin' down, shinin' down, shinin' down
Shinin' down!

Missing You

At home alone
My eternal atonement
I won't be missin' you

So sick and tired
Of bein' fucked up and lied to
I hope your dreams come true

I've seen you long, and I've felt ya strong
But now I can't get through

And then you lied, you were gettin' high
I hope you're turnin' blue

And in the night, when I feel alright
I won't be missin' you
And then you lied, you were gettin' high
I hope you're turnin' blue

All my heroes gone
Facts darker than fiction, as my nightmare
Carries on and on

But tonight...
I won't be missin' you

I used to ask you how long you were gonna carry on
When you lied I knew you were gone

I won't be missin' you
The lines were clearly drawn
Sad memories of you, are slowly gone
The world will carry on without you
Without YOU... YOU

All my heroes gone
Facts darker than fiction, as my nightmare
Carries on and on

In the night
I won't be missin' YOU

And now that you're gone, I'm gonna carry on
The lines were clearly drawn
I won't be missin' you

Hope

The clowns have come to rest
The jester's sold his soul
The world has lost its laugh
Human kind is turning cold

It's time to say your grace
It's time to call your friends
And start your laughin'... 'stead of crying
'Cause the end is nowere near... yeah

A man died of fear today, they say he lost his... way
Time bomb in Central Park... don't go out after dark
It's time to say your grace, it's time to call your friends
And start you laughin'... 'stead of cryin'
'Cause the end is nowhere near... yeah

Heaven only hopes, heaven only knows
To see her children just laughin'
Not dyin' for someone's faith

Hope is what she gave her love for
Fear because she's been alone before
Fate so that you'd fight a holy war
I still don't get it
Heaven only hopes

A child was born today, pure innocence of heart
Hope bristles from her smile, fate laidens in the dark

It's time to say your grace, it's time to call your friends
And start your laughin'... 'stead of cryin'
'Cause the end is nowhere near...yeah

Heaven only hopes, heaven only knows to see
Her children just laughin'
Not dying for someone's faith... dying for
Someone's faith...
Dying for someone's faith

Holiday

Got an aching head
Waking up the dead
Wrapped up in a shroud
Floating on a cloud

Trying to catch some Z's, brain is full of bee's
Mister, mister please, won't you please leave me be

I'm on holiday, I'm on holiday

Dreaming off in space, time and a place
Life calls my name, won't play the game
Little joy sleep brings, telephone sings
Answering machine, won't you please kill the ring

I'm on holiday, I'm on holiday

Let's rock.
Kurt Bloch

Tired of waking up, coffee in my cup
Brain is setting sail, today I can't fail
Walking with the snakes, swimming with the sharks
Honey, honey please, don't you leave me in the dark

I'm on holiday, I'm on holiday


Then and Now

When I first saw you baby
Yeah you were gone
So far gone

The scene was set for Armageddon
And your grip on me was strong

Oh... if you saw me yesterday, you wouldn't recognize my face
Oh... if you saw me yesterday, yeah, you might've ran away

Sister uptown, you're a metaphor for all life's grief and pain
Brother downtown, such a devil, make a snake out of any man

Yeah... if you saw me yesterday, you wouldn't recognize my face
Oh... if you saw me yesterday...

Don't feel like crawlin' out of my cage
I used to say
Another lame song and dance
About a thing from my past
I hope it's not boring you

In the end... I lost a few friends
But I got up... I got up an' I ran away

Drugs... party in 5-2-6 is where I got my kicks
But where are they today?

Dead and gone, the damage is done, I got
Nothin' else to say

Oh... if you saw me yesterday, you wouldn't recognize my face
Yeah... if you saw me yesterday, yeah, you might've ran away
Oh... if you saw me yesterday...
YEAH, you might've ran away

Rain

Ain't no fun, havin' no one
I'm so gone ain't never coming back
I cramp my style, I can't find my mind
A piece of me just fell off the tracks

Got stuck one night, on the run, it came to
Me like a loaded gun
I got scared of my shadow, don't want to
Hide from the fear no more, no

I fall down, no one to pick me up
No one to pick me up

I thank you, God, for hearin' me, one rainy
Night I was on my knees
You sent the girl of my dreams, and I'm the
One for her it seems

Let the rain come down on me
Let the rain come down on you, too
Let the rain come down on me
Let the rain come down on you, too

I fall down, no one to pick me up, no
I fall down, now the rain
Pounds down on me
The rain pounds down on me

Yeah... yeah
It was so hard but now it's plain to see
At long last, I've found the one
Of my dreams
Let the rain

I've seen war live through my pain, saved my
Life from a bitter end
I can't find my shadow
Ain't gonna hide from that fear no more

I let the rain come down on me, let the rain
Come down on you, too
Let the rain come down on me, let the rain
Come down on you, too

Beautiful Disease

I think I'm gonna freak out
Throw out my sanity
I'll blame it on my lack of education
Forced sobriety

Gonna whip it out my double barrel and play
Russian roulette with one
An' when I win, I'm gonna pull my skin off and
Give it to someone

Yeah... (beautiful disease)
It's so BEAUTIFUL... (disease)
Ugly is so beautiful when you hit it with a stick
Political correctiveness is a sham
That makes me sick

Sometimes I gotta ask myself
Why a kick in the head feels good

The more they try to beat me down
The more I think it's understood

(Beautiful... disease)
It's so beautiful... (disease)
(Beautiful... disease)
I know I'm sick again...
Who's gonna be my friend?
When I FREAK OUT

Opinions are like assholes
And you smell like an open sewer
I've lost my mind, 30 times
'Cause of bullshit pulled on tour

So there... TAKE IT
It's my war, and I want it... RIGHT NOW

(Beautiful... disease)
It's a beautiful...
(...Disease)
I think I'm goin' crazy!
(Beautiful... disease)
I know, I know, I know I've lost my mind...

Here we go once again
It's time to take my librium
Spiders crawlin' up the walls
Will you catch me if I fall?
Round and round and round he goes
Where he stops, nobody knows!

Mezz

I wanna be the world's best lover
I wanna be on every cover
I wanna be the flying man in the Cirque du Soliel

But I'm me, and that's all I'll ever be

I wanna be like Serpico, or a freedom fighter
Down in Mexico, a black man in the fifties south
See what fake white freedom was all about
I wanna `recon' in vietnam, shoot a ball like
Gary Payton, I wanna talk to Jesus Christ
A-bomb the extreme right
But I'm me, and that's all I'll ever be

And I see... there are some things I don't need

If it was up to me, I'd be those things and
So much more
If it was up to me, I'd talk to God and kick
Down every door

I really wanna save the planet, end all wars
And destructive habits, I wanna raise hell
With the C.D.C, see if all is being done about
That fuckin disease

I wanna be like Randy Johnson, play guitar like Mick Ronson
Wanna set my sights on art collections
Give homeless people a new direction
But I'm me, and that's all I'll ever be
And I see, there's some things I don't need

If it was up to me
I'd break down every wall
Let the poor have it all
Ban all war, if you please... and end disease

If it was up to me, i'd be those things
And so much more
If it was up to me, i'd talk to god and kick
Down every door
If it was up to me (4x)
