Jailbreak Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town
See, me and the boys, we don't like it
So we're gettin' up and goin' down
Hidin' low, looking right to left
If you see us comin', I think it's best
To move away, do you hear what I say
From under my breath
[Chorus]
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around
Don't you be around
[Verse 2]
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
Some of us won't survive
See, the boys and me mean business
Bustin' out dead or alive
I can hear the hound dogs on my trail
All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail
Like the game if you lose
Go to jail
[Chorus]
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around
[Post-Chorus]
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
I'm gonna find myself in
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
So, woman, stay with a friend
You know it's safer
[Interlude]
Breakout
[Verse 3]
Tonight there's gonna be a breakout
Into the city zones
Don't you dare to try and stop us
No one could for long
Searchlight on my trail
Tonight's the night all systems fail
Hey you, good lookin' female
Come here
[Chorus]
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around
[Post-Chorus]
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
I'm gonna find myself in
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
So, woman, stay with a friend

Angel From the Coast Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The sacred heart is bleeding
Go and tell the Holy Ghost
That the drunk is cheating
To get the things he needs the most
[Chorus]
Lady Luck has got me covered
Keeping her watchful eyes over me
The lovers are discovered
The charge is first degree
[Verse 2]
Angel, she's a killer
She's just flown in from the coast
Makes the hit, it's a winner
Leaves you dead past the post
[Chorus]
And Sally's took to playing poker
And the joker is her favorite card
And the drunk he can't stay sober
He says it's oh much too hard, it's much too hard
[Verse 3]
Meantime something seedy
Was happening across the hall
Someone seemed to be groaning
You could hear it through the wall
[Chorus]
And the cops they came like lightning
The bullet flew astray
And the noise it was frightening
But the crook he got away

Fight or Fall Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Brothers, here I stand
Spread my wings and take command
The sky he justly planned
The boy become a man
[Chorus]
After all this time
I tell myself that I'm
Not just wasting time
Oh you know I'm not that way inclined
[Verse 2]
Brothers, if you hear
Raise your flags and make it clear
There is more to fear
If we wait for another year
[Bridge]
After all this time
I tell-a myself
I tell-a myself
Tell-a myself
Tell-a myself
Tell-a myself
Tell-a myself
Tell-a myself that I'm
Just passing through time
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
After all this time
I tell myself that I'm
Not just wasting time
Oh you know I'm not that way inclined
[Verse 3]
Brothers, fight or fall
It's man for man and one for all
No more can we crawl
Brothers, brothers, hear the call
[Chorus]
After all this time
I tell myself that I'm
Not just wasting time
Oh you know I'm not that way inclined
[Outro]
Brother, brother
Brother, brother
Brother, brother (Brother, fight or fall)
Brother, brother (It's man for man and one for all)
Brother, brother
Brother, brother (What you want?)
Brother, brother (Brothers, we got to fight for one another)
Brother, brother (Fight)
Brother, brother

Emerald Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down from the glen came the marching men
With their shields and their swords
To fight the fight they believed to be right
Overthrow the overlords
To the towns where there was plenty
They brought plunder, swords and flame
When they left, the town was empty
And children would never play again
[Verse 2]
From their graves I heard the fallen
Above the battle cry
By that bridge near the border
There were many more to die
Then onward over the mountain
Outward towards the sea
They come to claim the emerald
Without it they could not leave
[Instrumental Outro/Guitar Solo]
