Ballad of the Knucklemen
From England and Ireland
Scotland and Wales
Travelling the roads for excitement
And whatever they might find
Fighting and drinking
Gin by the tankard
Roll on up and place your bets
‘Cause fortune, is on your side
But no biting, no buttin’
No gouging, no kicking
And don’t you be hitting now
The man, when he’s down
No biting, no buttin’
No gouging, no kicking
And don’t you be hitting now
The man, when he’s down
The ballad of the knucklemen
The ballad of the knucklemen
The ballad of the knucklemen
Hey, hey, yeah
The ballad of the knucklemen
The ballad of the knucklemen
The ballad of the knucklemen
Hey, hey, yeah
From England and Ireland
Scotland and Wales
Travelling the roads searching for adventure
Fortune and even fame
The ballad of the knucklemen
The ballad of the knucklemen
The ballad of the knucklemen
Hey, hey, yeah
The ballad of the knucklemen
The ballad of the knucklemen
The ballad of the knucklemen
Hey, hey, yeah

Chambers
One day you are a tragedy
The next you are a statistic
Pay the ferryman with your last breath yeah
The times, they are sadistic
And with a roar of silence
The world went ballistic
Everyone is dying now
Just like they did back then
There’s more souls on heaven and earth
In the chambers of, the devil my friend yeah
And with a roar of silence
The world came to an end
There’s more souls on heaven and earth
In the chambers of, the devil my friend yeah
The chambers of hell, they are full
Of lost souls trying to find their way
Trying to get back home
The chambers of hell, they are full
Of lost souls just trying to find a way
Trying to get home
And with a roar of silence
The world came to an end
There’s more souls on heaven and earth
In the chambers of, the devil my friend yeah
The chambers of hell, they are full
Of lost souls trying to find their way
Trying to get back home
The chambers of hell, they are full
Of lost souls just trying to find their way
Trying to get back home
The chambers of hell, they are full
Of lost souls trying to find their way
Trying to get back home
The chambers of hell, they are full
Of lost souls just trying to get away
Trying to get home

Trouble
‘Cause wherever you go
There’s trouble
Don’t you know
And wherever you walk
There’s a trail of fire
There’s a trail of fire
If you’re not fighting with the Cossacks
Or smashing glasses down the pub
Catching knives in your teeth boy
Or chopping one out in the snug
‘Cause wherever you go
There’s trouble
Don’t you know
And wherever you walk
There’s a trail of fire
There’s a trail of fire
There’s no talking to your kind
Blaze your way right through this world
On a journey to oblivion
Smiling all the while I’m sure
‘Cause wherever you go
There’s trouble
Don’t you know
And wherever you walk
There’s a trail of fire
There’s a trail of fire
‘Cause you’re mad
And you’re mean
Yeah you’re so beautifully unclean
You are evil
So it would seem
Your life is a nightmare invaded by dreams
Wherever you go
There’s trouble
Don’t you know
Wherever you may walk
There’s a trail of fire
There’s a trail of fire
‘Cause wherever you go
There’s trouble
Don’t we know
And wherever you walk
There’s a trail of fire
There’s a trail of fire
‘Cause wherever you go
There’s trouble
Don’t you know
And wherever you walk
There’s a trail of fire
There’s a trail of fire

How the Beautiful Fall

How The Beautiful Fall
How the beautiful they fall
From grace and heaven, from it all
How deplorable and sinister
Was it the devil in mind’s eye
Of the beholder ever asking why
Just like a diamond you shine
Like a diamond you shine
Long may you rest in that kingdom of hell
Your beauty fades away
Like Dorian Gray
All the splendour you did hold
Measured in silver and in gold
How the beautiful they fall
How the beautiful they fall
Long may you rest in that kingdom of hell
Your beauty fades away
Like Dorian Gray
Long may you rest in that kingdom of hell
Your soul it fades away
Like Dorian Gray
Stab your heart, it bleeds with only venom and pain
While all that could of been, it simply fades away
So long will you rest in that kingdom of hell
Like Dorian Gray, you’ll never be free again
Long may you rest in that kingdom of hell
Your beauty fades away
Like Dorian Gray
Long may you rest in that kingdom of hell
Your memory fades away
Like Dorian Gray

Swingin' Jack

Swingin’ Jack
Given a medal for killing two men
A dishonourable discharge for loving one
And so, they called me Swingin’ Jack
As I swung from the Tyburn Tree
Dragged down, my soul set free
Forgotten and never to come back
Well the gallows saw me savaged
Those long and darkened days
In honest disbelief we misbehaved
No we never gave a damn
‘Cause tomorrow we’d all be dead
So be sure and fill your life with merriment
Oh they call me Swingin’ Jack
My soul, never to come back
Oh they call me Swingin’ Jack
My soul, never to come back
Yeah they call me Swingin’ Jack
My soul, never to come back
Oh they call me Swingin’ Jack
My soul, never to come back
My soul, never to come back
My soul, never to come back

Highwayman Blues
Could of been a highwayman
Or a diamond clustered barrel
Barrel of fun yeah
Could of been anyone
Could of been a bottle of gin
Could of been a bottle of rum
Could of been a sister seagull
She’s crying to the sky
But it’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
It’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
It’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
Could of been anyone
Could of been a lone wolf
Travelling through this world alone
Could of been someone else
A million stories left untold
But it’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
It’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
Such a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
Could of been a highwayman
Many hearts broke on the way
Many debts yet to be payed
Many rivers they have flowed
Many winds they have blowed
Many fortunes have been made
Many treasures have been gained
In the end, it’s all the same
Could of been a highwayman
Or a diamond clustered barrel
Barrel of fun yeah
Could of been... someone
But it’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
It’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
Such a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
Could of been anyone
But it’s a long...
(I did seek the world)
It’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
It’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
Could of been a highwayman
What are dreams for?
What are dreams for?
What are dreams for?
Oh what are dreams for?
Oh what are dreams for?
Oh what are dreams for?

Warship
Oh you’re still living that dream
The one that crumbled long ago
In your being
Oh you’re still living a lie
Worshipped by nobodies
For no reason why
For those of you
Who worship at the alter of one man’s ego
We forgive you
For you know not what you do
For those of you
Who worship at the alter of one man’s ego
We forgive you
For you know not what…
Oh you’re still aiming for the stars
But you burnt out long ago
When you once possessed a heart
We watched you stutter, we watched it fall
With your ignorance and arrogance
Your stardom’s trajectory began to wane and fall
For those of you
Who worship at the alter of one man’s ego
We forgive you
For you know not what you do
For those of you
Who worship at the alter of one man’s ego
We forgive you
For you know not what…
You know not what, what you do
For those of you
Who worship at the alter of one man’s ego
We forgive you
For you know not what you do
For those of you
Who worship at the alter of one man’s ego
We forgive you
For you know not what you do
For those of you
Who worship at the alter of one man’s ego
We forgive you
For you know not what you do
For those of you
Who worship at the alter of one man’s ego
We forgive you
For you know not what you do
For those of you
Who worship at the alter of one man’s ego
We forgive you
For you know not what…
You know not what you do

Evil Under The Moon
Power junkies bathing in the blood of your crimes
Wall Street monkeys swinging from your skyscraper vines
Money whores messing with the quid and the yen
While feeding off some dying children in Yemen
Like a crimson revolver buried in the sand
Your DNA ain’t visible on the corpses you’ve damned
Too clever for your own good, your own god and man
Only the reaper can scupper your plans
Evil under the sun
You’re the evil under the moon
You’re the evil under the stars that shine
Above your sacred tombs
Evil under the sun
You’re the evil under the moon
You’re the evil under the stars that shine
Above your haunted tombs
Power junkies bathing in the blood of your crimes
Wall Street monkeys swinging from your skyscraper vines
It’d take the devil just to put you down
‘Cause you owe him your soul
Yeah you owe him that crown
Evil under the sun
You’re the evil under the moon
You’re the evil under the stars that shine
Above your sacred tombs
Evil under the sun
You’re the evil under the moon
You’re the evil under the stars that shine
Above your haunted tombs

Tall Ships
There are long ships, there are tall ships
That sail the deep blue sea
But the best ships, are the friendships
And so may they always be
So long as lips kiss
And eyes shall see
So long lives this
And gives life to thee
There are long ships, there are tall ships
That sail the deep blue sea
But the best ships, are the friendships
And so may they always be
So long as there are dreams
Better still if they come true
So long as there is me
For as long as there’s you
There are long ships, there are tall ships
That sail the deep blue sea
But the best ships, are the friendships
And so may they always be
For wherever there are cracks
The light comes shining through
All we can hope is the good souls go
To the place they ought to
And so long as there are dreams
Better still if they come true
So long as there is me
Just as long as there’s you
There are long ships, there are tall ships
That sail the deep blue sea
But the best ships, are the friendships
And so may they always be
There are long ships, there are tall ships
That sail the seven seas
But the best ships, are the friendships
And so may they always be
So may they always be
And so may they always be

Good Ol’ Daze
Sit down, pour yourself a drink
I’ll tell you a tale of what’s happening
Right now
Oh you wouldn’t believe
Pull up a chair and pour out your heart
Like a song or poem written in the stars
We got our whole life left to lead
However long that may be
‘Cause...
We’re still working on the good ol’ daze
Who says you can’t change your ways?
We got the rest of our lives to lead
However long that may be
They say youth is wasted on the young
You know it doesn’t matter anyway
As long as there’s another story to tell
Breath in my lungs and ink in my well
We’re still working on the good ol’ daze
Who says you can’t change your ways?
We got the rest of our lives to lead
However long that may be
We’re still working on the good ol’ daze
Who says you can’t change your ways?
We got our whole lives left to lead
However long that may be
