Left P-Town headin' out to Riverside
Crusin in the ride, doin' bout 85
Starin' at my pipe with no bowls to pack
Cuz in my pocket all I'm holdin is an empty sack
A-yo, we bout to fix that and go fetch this bud
The deal's goin down, we gotta get it from this thug
He lives in San Diego and I've heard a lot about em
He's always pushin weight, rocks and came with the ?
Three stops to make before I hit Loc's house
My pad in Corona plus my ?Lokey Dope Hideout?
Then I get some smokes and an extra pack for Loc
Cuz we really gotta go man we gotta hit the road
Got up off my couch, heard a knock on the doe'
(Ay what up D-loc!)Yeah its Richter wit my smokes
We took some resignin tokes with no time to stall
Picked up my cell phone and made that call
Now we got the rent of course
Started headin down South
It was late in the day but the sun was still out
(Yeah) Without a doubt we popped a pill to keep our buzz
Cuz it's a long way to Daygo when you gots no buds
Called up the boys to check everybodys plan
Brewer, Hopper, Marz, Jerbo and Big Taz
Just linin up a crew incase these dudes try to screw us
Ah fuck, now we're stuck behind a school' bus
Quick take a right gotta make the yellow light
Got fifteen minutes till we gotta be on sight It's right up the block a
couple miles up the road
Took the money out the bag to pre-count the dough
Seen the front door of the spot we was goin
Such a little hairy heard the weed was stolen (Fuck!)
Called reinforcements told em wait up the street
Knocked on the door, and gave the bell a ring
(Here we go)
There was, shit on the walls, backyard full of dogs
No joke it smelled like they was smokin speed balls
Didn't even wanna sit Glad I made that phone call
This could get Real ugly if it ain't up to Par
Well first thing I did when I walked in the door
I looked all around everywhere in all four corners
Seen shady characters no one said nuttin to nobody
Wanted to get the dope and give this fool his money
In and out was the plan on the double-double
Now we all full of smiles 10 Pack of the Bubble
And now to K.P. another zone with some homegrown
Put it out Loc, I saw a cop man leave it alone
Just then I threw the joint out the window
Grabbed the orange chronic, fired up a bowl
Next thing you know the cop is right on our tail
If I could only stand and stare in the mirror would I see
One fallen hero with a face like me
And if I scream, could anybody hear me
If I smash the silence, you'll see what fame has done to me
Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely
ll never know if love's a lie
Ooh - being crazy in paradise is easy
Can you see the prisoners in my eyes
Where is the love to shelter me
Give me love, love set me free
ere is the love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
Set me free
Hail Hail the Idol
Hail Hail the Idol
Idol be bad
Idol be wild
Martyr your heart
Father a love child
We need all your kinks
And your dark attitude
We live on your sins
And your volatile moods
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
You're a pop up poster of a teenage dream
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
A fur inferno on a twisted scene
Go for the gold
Never grow old
In the bed or the car
It's the end of the star
Burn yourself out
Do yourself in
Don't try to mend
All gods fall in the end
Hail Hail the Idol
Hail Hail the Idol
We loved you in black
We adored you in pink
Up in the dock
Or drowned in the drink
Wrapped up in foil
Anointed in oil
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
Rip out your soul as you're playing the role
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
Nail up your hands to fulfil our demands
Go for the gold
Never grow old
In the bed or the car
It's the end of the star
Burn yourself out
Do yourself in
Don't try to mend
All gods fall in the end
Sweet crucifixion
We hate you, we hate you
We hate you, we hate you
Watch them turn cold as you start to grow old
We hate you, we hate you
We hate you, we hate you
Vinyl to burn as the crowd starts to turn
Go for the gold
Never grow old
In the bed or the car
It's the end of the star
Burn yourself out
Do yourself in
Don't try to mend
All gods fall in the end
Be what you are
In the bed or the car
In the bath or the bar
It's the end of the star
Burn yourself out
Do yourself in
Don't try to mend
All gods fall in the end
Fail Fail the Idol
Fail Fail the Idol
Fail Fail the Idol
Fail Fail the Idol
All gods fall in the end
Valentino the sheik was the God of them all
But his macho was dented and he took a fall
Garland sang tragedy touching our hearts
But her life was a tragedy more than her art
Fabian and Avalon gold lamed and cute
Kissed fickle fame and went straight down the chute
Elvis the cat loved us tender with youth
But what we were seeing was never the truth
Just wanted to sing but fame made its demands
And died while still young trying to please all his fans
James was a rebel that stood for an age
A drink and a drive and then death took the stage
Poor Billie Holliday paid all her dues
When her close friend the needle gave her the blues
Janis at night cruised for boys on the strip
But death by the bottle is what made her hip
Marylin's beauty showed age every day
But her sinister end helped her keep age away
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
Brian Jones had an aura that Mick soon would crave
But pills and a pool set the scene for the grave
Jim lived his life to put edge to his songs
But he died in the bath to reach where he belongs
Jimi played notes that were all heaven-sent
But the drink and the drugs made sure that's where he went
Osmond and Cassidy records all gold
But they made the mistake of growing too old
Bolan got fat was not pleasant to see
But we loved him again when he met with a tree
Kurt was unhappy with fame and success
A gun in the mouth and one hell of a mess
And who will be next on the big cross of fame?
A white sequinned glove and a big famous name?
We hate you, we hate you
We hate you, we hate you
We hate you, we hate you
you're always screaming about unity
being open minded and honesty
what you might say will some people believe
but i really doubt your sincerity
if we really want this deal to work out
we all got to rise above
we've got to stop these pretty arguments
don't you think it's time to cut the shit out
you're always screaming about unity
being open minded and honesty
if we really want it, we all got to try
stop talkin' behind each other's backs
and spreading a bunch of lies
i ain't saying i got a master plan
or telling you to go out and hold each other's hands
just saying that we're tired of hearing your shit
Among the possesions of an outlaw of a low class kind
Is this little bottle of French perfume
Taken as a last thought from a drug store in suburbia
He said, ";Lady, look what I've got for you.";
She said, ";Jesse, I don't hardly even know you anymore.
And judging from your grin, you'd think you held up Henry Ford.
And I don't believe I want you a comin' 'round here anymore. Ooh.";
Jesse, he was hurt, boy, and he left there, and he slammed the door.
And he wandered through the alleyways.
Thinkin' all the while that she'd be proud of what he stole for her,
And he tried to think of better ways.
Dreamin' of a movie that he'd seen one afternoon,
He drew out all his savings and he went and bought a gun.
And he ran right home and stood before his mirror
Acting like a thug, ooh.
He waited for a dark night; he was frightened, boy, the fog rolled in,
As a rich man, he came walkin' by,
";Hold your hands up high,"; he cried,
";I've come to make your fortune mine.";
But his eyes, they gave him right away,
Jesse dropped the gun and they both stared at to where it lay.
And Jesse asked the man if he'd please leave him in his pain.
And the man tried to forgive him, but there's not much he could say. Ooh.
Among the possessions of an outlaw of a low class kind
Is this little bottle of French perfume
Taken as a last thought from a drugstore in suburbia.
He said, ";Lady, look what I've got for you.";
";Ah, take it, ah, please take it; I'm tired and I'm poor.
And this crappy French perfume is nothin' less than my own soul.
I was feelin' half a man; I wanted to feel whole, ooh.";
Oooh...ooh,ooh.
Oh the idol, oh the idol
They knew the monster's every trick
They knew his secrets every stitch
All of it had been a game
Nothing but a charlatan
Perhaps there was a chance of coming through
It even seemed that he might think it too
But he could see no point in diving in
He knew that he would neither sink nor swim
And so they found he'd nothing left to say
Just another idol turned to clay
It seemed to them he must know what to do
They knew that only he could pull them through
They thought that he would make a plan
He'd work it out, he'd understand
Like drowning men they clutched at every straw
They knew that he had saved them all before
But he could see no point in diving in
Ran through the field that I'd once known
Read the books, traveled alone
But I can't say that I was by myself
You were always with me, we had no one else
And if I had my way I might just go alone
And if we can't agree, I'll take my things and go
I realized you helped along the way
But do I owe you everything I earned my way?
We will always say goodnight
We will always say what's right
We can never say goodbye
Here's to the time spent on the road
And here's to the girls they'd come and go
Here's for the time I lost your keys
And for all the times you brought me to my knees
Let's talk along the way, who's given in?
We'll make it through this, and yet be friends
There's something about this thing that we've lost sight
How we all did get along, I think we might
I'd never known her to cry*
But this time is different for sure
She's shaking with tears in her eyes
As she picks up what's left of the night
The hope for a reason seemed pure
As we leave what's left on the wall
But oh how it's taken its toll
Oh how it's taken its toll
Everything's taken its toll
Everything's taken its toll
There was more then a break in the smiles
They rose and slowly they tired
As she turned the moments were made
There were none that could prove where she lay
There's a calm in the stories now told
And the distance will always be home
And oh how it's taken its toll
Oh how it's taken its toll
Everything's taken its toll
Everything's taken its toll
Everything's taken its toll
It's a moment we carry alone
With a cause there's a cure for the soul
But oh how it's taken its toll
Some say he was an outlaw, that he roamed across the
land,
With a band of unschooled ruffians and few old
fishermen,
No one knew just where he came from, or exactly what
he'd done,
But they said it must be something bad that kept him on
the run.
Some say he was a poet, that he'd stand upon the hill
That his voice could calm an angry crowd and make the
waves stand still,
That he spoke in many parables that few could
understand,
But the people sat for hours just to listen to this
man.
Some say he was a sorcerer, a man of mystery,
He could walk upon the water, he could make a blind man
see,
That he conjured wine at weddings and did tricks with
fish and bread,
That he talked of being born again and raised people
from the dead.
Some say a politician who spoke of being free,
He was followed by the masses on the shores of Galilee,
He spoke out against corruption and he bowed to no
decree,
And they feared his strength and power so they nailed
him to a tree.
Some say he was the Son of God, a man above all men,
That he came to be a servant and to set us free from
sin,
And that's who I believe he is cause that's what I
believe,
And I think we should get ready cause it's time for us
Back to back here we stand
our guns they are ready and loaded
ten steps forward and then turn
the strike of the bullets will hurt you
Eye to eye with icecold looks
that make you feel there is danger
they have might to hypnotize
and they will never release you
You search for the stronger
you search for the truth
you're searching so long
wasting your youth
Fight it out
if you search for the stronger
fight it out if you search for the truth
fight it out if you search for the stronger
fight it out if you search
Search for the stronger of two
Keep cool bleed and fight your fear
Success's laying only in your hands
just try hard the end is near
your name will be sung through the lands
You search for the stronger etc ...
Fight it out
if you search for the stronger
fight it out
Honey, tell the boys I'm coming home
I just can't face this alone
Tell the boys their daddy's coming home
How did it ever come to this?
Honey how did it ever come to this?
How'd I get involved in bad business?
How did I get in such a mess?
Honey, tell the boys I'm on my way
Been on the road for nearly seven days
And I just wanna see your pretty face
Been an honest man all of my life
Been an honest worker all of my life
I've been true until that awful night
When I met some trouble out on 105
Honey I've gone and killed a man
Things didn't go as they were planned
'Cause someone put that gun in my hand
Murder wasn't part of the deal
What the hell was I supposed to do?
I pulled the trigger
We got everybody lookin'
For the get-rich-quick
Everybody lickin' on the ice-cream-stick
Here's ten for me - five for you
Seven-oh thirty that's the best you're gonna do
Rich man poor man nothin' in between
Bet your last dollar you'll be sleepin' in the streets
Fast-track last-laugh
Beggarman, Thief
Nothin' worth nothin' ever comes that cheap
Baby get your hands out,
Grab on to the wheel
Get it in get it out man this one's for real
(And the streets are made of gold)
For real
(We gotta move we're gettin' old)
For real - everybody wants the deal
My daddy was a lawman
Sheriff in a bus-stop town
He carried off just about
Everything that wasn't nailed down
You get what you get and you keep what you get for you
Look on out for number one - that was the message came through
Baby get your hands out,
Grab on to the wheel
Get it in get it out man this one's for real
(And the streets are made of gold)
For real
(We gotta move we're gettin' old)
For real - everybody wants the deal
It's for real
(And the streets are made of gold)
For real
(We gotta move we're gettin' old)
For real - everybody wants the deal
[At another location, CHRIS and the ENGINEER]
[ENGINEER]
My friend
We had a deal for Kim, but that's on ice
I'm sorry, sergeant, but I've changed the price
I need a visa from your embassy
You get me that, you'll get the girl for free
[CHRIS]
Cut the crap, this money's all I got
I don't give visas out.
Is this a deal or not?
You tell me
[CHRIS draws his revolver and aims at the ENGINEER]
[ENGINEER]
Okay, okay, the money...it will do
Too bad, I had a Rolex watch for you
I'll get my papers in another way
I'll make a rich man of some attache
[CHRIS leaves]
With little shits like him, you take the bucks and run
The sun's shining and it's raining
No better way to describe my feel
When you left my heart was complaining
How a couple of days can act like years
I know living with me ain't easy
When I tell you how I feel
A simple phrase,
Hard to put into words
Let it grow
Let it show
Let it flow
I'm here to show you, baby,
This love is real
Wherever you go
My heart's bound to follow
Wherever you go
Then I'll be there
This being gone's
Been a tough pill to swallow
I hope you can feel me in the air
Now I don't mind a whole lot of waiting
If this is truly how you feel
I'm tired of scratching those reservations
If I just might, tonight, then all right
If it's real, then go on baby
And let's make that deal
Mmmmmm
I've given you the best I've got to offer
'cause there ain't no more in here to see
This premonition I have is awful
Thanks to the moonbeams' generosity
Now I don't mind a whole lot of waiting
If this is truly how you feel
I'm tired of scratching those reservations
If I just might, tonight, then all right
If it's real, then go on baby
If I just might, tonight, then all right
If it's real, then go on baby
Let's make that deal, mmmmmmmm
THE DEAL
that's the deal baby
you know that it's true
everything's over
when I?m not with you
it's a two-way shelter
no compromise
we're in heaven
with our own device
it's a deal that lasts forever
it's a common sense of tragedy
it's the street we walk together
it's a way that ends in nowhereland
that's the deal, baby
that's the deal, baby
cold is the morning
when I'm all alone
waiting for you on my desert throne
we were young
so beautiful
you were queen and I took your soul
it's a deal that lasts forever
it's a common sense of tragedy
it's the street we walk together
it's a way that ends in no whereland
that's the deal, baby
that's the deal, baby
that's the deal ( love is all you need)
I LET YOU FLY
AND YOU LKE IT
OH NO WAS JUST A MATTER
OF TIME
YOU HAD TO LIE
I DESPISE IT
OH NO THEY CLIP YOUR
WINGS DON'T WHINE
(CHORUS)
NOW YOU-RE ON YOUR
OWN
INTO LIFE YOU'RE THROWN
WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS
REAL
NOW YOU KNOW THE DEAL
IT'S TOO LATE
THERE'S NO MORE ME
OH WE, I CAN NOT BELIEVE
I FIND IT FUNNY
BUT IT'S NO JOKE
A STRING OF FREEDOM
CAN MAKE YOU CHOKE
(CHORUS 2 X)
I LET YOU FLY
AND YOU LIKE IT
OH NO WAS JUST A MATTER
OF TIME
YOU HAD TO LIE
I DESPISE IT
OH NO THEY CLIP YOUR
WINGS DON'T WHINE

BUT IT'S NO JOKE
A STRING OF FREEDOW
CAN MAKE YOU CHOKE

He gave me six weeks income, I'll be gone in one
Angels of death sent his disease
Seas turns to blood and there's wrath in the breeze
God's fire burned those from evil descent
Darkening skies until the end
Evil thoughts carried through the night
Dark lies whispered in the morning sun
Chaos breeds in the belly of truth
Delivered from the womb of holiness
From all goodness evil shall bee born
Hell will arise to slay thee holy ones
The angel of death sent his disease
Seas turned to blood and there's wrath in the breeze
God's fire burned those from evil descent
Darkening skies until the end
I'm the last candle in the night, a puppet of destiny
(I go with) tottering steps to the gates of eternity
Shadows will rise and the nightfall will entice us.
But I'll find the key to the paradise I thought was lost
Try to mock me with thine virtuous life
Saints shall cry while thou slowly die
Thy light is fading slowly away
Thy tears shall fall in a sanguine rain
With sword and lash I'll lead thee on
Thy own gravedigger thou will become
The angel of death sent his disease
Seas turned to blood and there's wrath in the breeze
God's fire burned those from evil descent
Darkening skies until the end
I'm the last candle in the night, a puppet of destiny
(I go with) tottering steps to the gates of eternity
Shadows will rise and nightfall will entice us.
[Ty talking]
'Yes. This is a cautionary tale.
You can ... take it any which way you wanna.
I mean no disrespect in part two.
As we just ... alright ... let me ...' [Ty's voice fades]
It was a sunny afternoon, somewhere between April, May or maybe June
The year had been quite busy
and I was just taking a break from having to make a tune
I was chilling with my cousin rude boys undercover just ...
watching the place
Sitting opposite the tube
and this girl walked up and said 'I recognise your face.
Your name's Ty isn't it? I seen you in this and that magazine'
I was quite chuffed really,
looked slightly at my cousin and we both said 'seen!'
One month later she phones me up
'I'm in the area, can I come up?' I'm like 'please!'
Turned to my brethren said
'I love you like a brother, but BRUSH you got to leave!'
[Tee talking]
'You know what I'm saying? You got to leave! If you met this girl right,
you'd understand. You - have - got - to - go. Thank you.'
Check my reflection in the mirror,
spray a little air fresh, splash a little brute
Answer the intercom, 'is Tee there?' Oh,, she sounds cute!
I take her jacket and she's left with a white dress going from here to here
I offer her a drink, but she only wants water, I'm like 'oh each!'
The conversation goes from vague adult chat to thinly veiled come on's
Blood leaves my brain, my whole body's a drum stick ... anxious to drum on
How shall I approach this? I'm virtually brain dead plus the line's busy
I begin with a little friendly WWF and touch the titty!
[Girl talking, Ty whistling in background]
'Hold on, what are you doing? What are you doing? Are you trying to touch
any of this? Who are you? Just because ...' [Girl's voice fades]
Felt so ashamed! Had to excuse myself by pretending to take the piss
Walked to the mirror, splashed water on my face and said 'man what is this?'
Get a grip Ben, just because the girl's here doesn't mean you're in
Ha, this sexy bullshit can mess up the play
and make you think your love is king
[Ty talking]
'Ohhh boy. Listen ...
you know when you're in one of those predicaments where it's like,
just, oh what can I say, I can't say ...' [Ty's voice fades]
I left the bathroom with a clear head,
expecting her to moan, apologetic in the worst way
She's butt naked on the sofa,
smiling like a joker 'T-Y it's your birthdayyy!'
[Ty talking]
'No, no, no, no, no, no, no, y'know, no!
You don't, listen, you don't have to ask me what happened next!
Anyway, lets just say ... mighty fun was had by all!
The Deal
>From the Musical Chess
-The American
Communist, democrat
An intriguing collusion
Fair exchange - tit for tat
Comradeship in profusion
And the appeal, partner
Of this deal, partner
Is we all stand to win
You and me, the lady also
Don't break her heart, partner
Just be smart, partner
Let her think that her past
Is as pure as snow in Moscow
Thank God we're so civilised
And our word can be our bond
We can turn this into friendship for life
And beyond
-The Russian
Refugee, total shit
Is how I've always seen us
Not a help you'll admit
To agreement between us
There's no deal, partner
Who's your real partner?
Could there be just a chance
That you've got some heavy clients?
-The American (+ voice of Molokov)
That's not true, partner
How could you, partner
Think I'd want to pursuse
Any deal but our alliance?
-(on his own)
How can you only think
Of your selfish ambition
And not of her position
Or you'd rather perhaps
See her world collapse
For a tinpot competition
-The Russian
There's no deal!
-The American
Silly boy, woman who
He should not have let walk out
There's no hitch that we two
Can't untangle or talk out
And the appeal, partner
Of this deal, partner
Is we both stand to win
We'll bring back the golden era
Stick with me, honey
Leave him be, honey
In return I know who'll
Tell you all they know in Moscow
-Florence
Are you sick? Are you mad?
You still don't understand
Why I loathe you, why I left you
-Florence and the Russian
Who'd ever think it
Such a squalid little ending
Watching him descending
Just as far as he can go
I'm learning things I didn't want to know
Who'd ever guess it
This would be the situation
One more complication
Should be neither here nor there
I wish I had it in me not to care
-The Russian
Let him spill out his hate
Till he knows he's deserted
There's no point wasting time
Deep in sleep, i finaly found you.
dreaming sweet, without knowing who´s watching you.
now as im standing here right in front of you i smell your
sweet little tears..
Its a night like no other nights
dont you know you my burning light

another night like no other nights
we had, we had a deal
can feel my sense of plesure, can you
taste the burning flesh? iknow you dont
i knoooow you dooont
twenty years of no good searchin, just
to find my choosen one, no where to go nowhere
to hide... cant run..
no one in the world can save you now,
