Rome 03:52
lyrics
Everything has fallen away And we don’t know what to do And we’re here all alone We’re huddled around the fire But we don’t know who lurks Out in the darkness The threats are ever looming Will we hope to survive Xxx Burned up news paper On the ground headlines stating Nuclear war impending Take cover Take cover xx This is dystopia This is dystopia We’re living in dystopia This is dystopia We know the truth my friends Its written on the wall Its been clear for days and days Its time for the fall The empire’s end is near And we’re in the capital We’ll have front row seats To the end of it all Its so clear to me That things are wrong And we’ll see it fall The end of Rome The capital of the empire Is cursed to burn We have front row seats To the end of it all All of this stolen land All of this stolen labor All of this stolen land All of this stolen labor How can we fix this How can we fix this mess How can we fix this How can we fix this mess Everything has a reason Everything has a rhythm Some say Some say But I don’t know Everything has a reason Everything has a rhythm Some say Some say But I don’t know

Bang the Drum 05:54
lyrics
Bang your drum Bang your drum Explosion Bang your drum Wistful smile And devlishlish look in your As your hand me the mallet And give me a try You say bang the drum Bang the drum Explosion Bang the drum Wistful And a devilish look in your eye And me the mallet And give me a try xxx Do you remember the disco in the abandoned schoolhouse x Dancing with tinsel in the air Dancing like we didn’t care x Do you remember the disco in the abandoned schoolhouse x Swaying to the beat Playing freely xx Blissful abandon Singing into the darkness bodies moving to catharsis Bleeding through the speakers Reacting to sound waves xxx A banner hung above our heads Demanding attention. x And disco balls and audio video installations x And a gathering Of Wide Eyed Strangers x And Sound Systems In Two Locations x In the Gymnasium In the Hall x In the Gymnasium In the Hall x And I remember talking to you How could I forget And I remember talking to you How could I forget xxx

Shivers (Rowland S. Howard cover) 03:39
lyrics
[2] Intro: x x [4] I've been contemplating suicide, x But it really doesn't suit my style, x So I think I'll just act bored instead x And contain the blood I would've shed? x [4] She makes me feel so ill at ease x My heart is really on it's knees x But I keep a poker face so well x That even mother couldn't tell x [4] But my baby's so vain She is almost a mirror x And the sound of her name Sends a permanent shiver down my x Spay-(ay-ay-)-(ay-ay-)-(ay-ay-ay-ay)-ine x down my Spay-(ay-ay-)-(ay-ay-)-(ay-ay-ay-ay)-ine x [2] [instrumental] x x [4] I keep her photograph against my heart x For in my life she plays a starring part x All alcohol and cigarettes x There is no room for cheap regrets x [4] She makes me feel so ill at ease x My heart is really on it's knees x But I keep a poker face so well x That even mother couldn't tell x [4] But my baby's so vain She is almost a mirror x And the sound of her name Sends a permanent shiver down my x Spay-(ay-ay-)-(ay-ay-)-(ay-ay-ay-ay)-ine x Down my Spay-(ay-ay-)-(ay-ay-)-(ay-ay-ay-ay)-ine x [2] ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay x ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay x [2] ooh oh oh oh ( D#m )
