1. BACKWAXED
( Allison, Reiner, Lips, Dickson)
++++++++++++

Your mommy always said don't take those boys to bed
It might feel good today but in 9 months you'll pay
??????????????
??????????????
Chorus:
Don't you worry, don't you fret
I've got a method that ain't thought of yet
Put it in and pull it out
Slap it on your back and watch it spout
I don't think you'll mind if I take ya from behind
Get you on your hands and knees, gonna put your mind at ease
??????????????
??????????????
-Chorus-
Backwaxed, backwaxed, you're being backwaxed
Backwaxed, you're being backwaxed
Backwaxed, you're being backwaxed
Backwaxed
Ow, I think things are coming through
??????????? looks good on you
Now the shine is on your back
Feel the heat of the wax attack
-Verse 1-
-Chorus-
Backwaxed, backwaxed, you're being backwaxed
Backwaxed, you're being backwaxed
Backwaxed, backwaxed, you're being backwaxed
Backwaxed, backwaxed
2. NEVER DECEIVE ME
(Lips, Reiner, Allison, Dickson)
+++++++++++++++++++
NOTE: This is an early, unreleased version, not the 'Forged In Fire' version.
Got a strange situation
I think that something's going down
I hear it being whispered
The rumour's out all over town
You see I got a little lady
Who I ain't been treatin' right
It's a crime the way I'm acting
I've been staying out all night
?????? with my bottle
??????????????
??????????????
And it's time to make ammends
I think that things are changing
By the way she looks at me
She keeps it all inside her
And she thinks that I can't see
Chorus:
If it's not too late
Try and change my fate
All I need is you to stay with me
Now my drink is almost empty
And I'll soon be on my way
We have to talk about it
It can't wait another day
Gotta get together
??????????????
??????????????
And lay it on the line
-Chorus-
Well I was walking in the rain
When I came upon the scene
She was kissing him goodnight
And I knew where she had been
Well it changed my life completely
And ever since that day
You won't keep me close enough
To hurt me in that way
-Chorus-
When I saw you with that other guy
You know it hurt me so down deep inside
You'll never deceive me again
When I saw you with that other guy
You know you hurt me so down deep inside
You'll never deceive me again
When I saw you with that other guy
You know you hurt me so down deep inside
You'll never deceive me again
When I saw you with that other guy
You know you hurt me so down deep inside
You'll never deceive me again

Night has fallen
And the darkness hides an evil one
Feel his presence
Ever lurking in the shadows there

Gazing unseen through his blackened cloak
Features masked;He's poised to take your life
Cutting deep your flesh; His steely knife
Coldly steals your life

20. WORLDS APART
(Anvil original - don't know who specifically wrote it)
++++++++++++++++
Travelled far to a distant place
Fell in love with a pretty face
In search of lust I found a friend
Will I see her again?
Far away in a foreign land
With the touch of a women's hand
In search of lust I found a friend
Will I see her again?
Will I see her again?
Oh, must we pass like ships in the dark
We're so in love but worlds apart
Just a man a long way from home
I'm feeling down and all alone
In search of lust I found a friend
But will I see her again?
-Chorus-
Worlds apart, we are worlds apart
This emptiness I have never known
You're just a voice on the telephone
I said goodbye but I made a vow
To see you somehow
Well, memories are hard to hold
I got your picture and I feel so cold
I said goodbye but I made a vow
To see you somehow
I got to see you somehow
-Chorus-
21. STRAIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES
(Lips, Reiner, Allison, Dickson)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NOTE: This is an early, unreleased version, not the 'Strength of Steel' version.
Make out, watch out
'Cause that's what this is all about
Never get enough of it
Go down, look around
Tell me baby what you've found
You'd better get a hold of it
Unzip kinda hip
Babe I think I got your trip
You're trying to impress me
Look now saying "wow"
But you're gonna try somehow
Baby don't depress me
It's your big chance
Don't - don't blow it
You only get one try
Hit you straight between the eyes
Lipstick does the trick
Won't you give my friend a lick?
Ring around the collar
Squeeze tight, all your might
Can you make me feel alright?
??????????????????????
You only get one try
Hit you straight between the eyes
Straight between the eyes
Lookout!
-Verse 1-
It's your big chance
Don't - don't blow it
You only get one try
Hit you straight between the eyes
Straight between the eyes
Straight between the eyes
I'm gonna hit ya, hit ya, hit ya, hit ya
Straight between the eyes
Back
