Overkill

Only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud
So good I can't believe it, screamin' with the crowd

Chorus:
Don't sweat it, get it back to you
Don't sweat it, get it back to you
Overkill, overkill, overkill

On your feet you feel the beat, it goes straight to your spine
Shake your head, you must be dead if it don't make you fly

Chorus
Know your body's made to move
Feel it in your guts
Rock'n'roll ain't worth the name
If it don't make you strut

Chorus

Damage Case

Hey babe don't act so scared
All I want is some special care
I'm on the run from some institution
All I want's a little consolation
And I can tell by your face
I'm a total disgrace
Let me inside your place
Move over for a Damage Case

Hey babe wait a minute stop
Don't run away don't call the cop
I ain't looking to victimise you
All I want to do is tantalise you
And I can tell by your state
I'm all over the place
I can tell by your face
Got no time for a Damage Case

Hey babe don't turn away
I'm here tomorrow I'm gone today
I don't care what you think your game is
I don't care even what your name is
And I can tell by your face
You're all over this place
Let me inside your face
Move over for a Damage Case

Stone Dead Forever

You think you see me, in the glass
You think you hear me, you better listen fast,
I think I see you, gone to seed,
The only reasons, were your guilt and greed,
You're out there on your own,
Your face turned to stone,

Chorus:
Whatever happened to your life?
Stone Dead Forever
It's been a long time, been a long long wait,
And you've caught your fingers, in the Pearly Gates,
You'd better leave your number, and we'll call you,
You know your problems, ain't exactly new,
The wrong side of the fold,
Your touch has turned to gold,

Chorus
You're a financial wizard, a top tycoon,
A sweet lounge lizard, with a silver spoon,
You know you never had it, quite so good,
'Cos you didn't know, that you even could,
But the time has come to pay,
Turns out to have been a play,

Chorus

Too Late, Too Late

I see that nothin's changed
Insist on playing games
Some waste of time you are
And you're so popular
Well this is it you bitch
I've got to make a switch
You find some other john
I know what's goin' on

Your move
What do I have to lose?
Stalemate
Too late, too late

I thought you were for real
Just one more rip-off deal
Don't give me all that crap
I just escaped your trap
You think you see the joke
But you're just chasin' smoke
Cos now the thrill is gone
I know what's goin' on

Good move
What do I have to lose?
Stalemate
Too late, too late

Misunderstanding me
The way you felt so free
I'm gonna jump the gun
I'm gonna cut an' run
Your credibility
Don't cut no ice with me
You're just a feeble con
I know what's goin' on

Good move
What do I have to lose?
Stalemate
Ow ow ow Too late, too late
Too late, too late
