All the Lovers in the World [Lawrence Gowan]

Image
All The Lovers In The World Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan With urgent hands We excited A fire so hot Two lives were ignited Now I'm left here on my own But I'll never be alone Down forbidden streets I talk with Every single step I walk in All the lovers in the world Though the lonely night's returning I can feel the flame that's burning All the lovers in the world Virgin lips I have tasted Love so pure, not a drop was wasted Paradise we shared together Lives inside of me forever Down forbidden streets I talk with Every single step I walk in All the lovers in the world Though the lonely night's returning I can feel the flame that's burning All the lovers in the world Since you touched me I can't be free This is every lover's destiny yeah, yeah, yeah Down forbidden streets I talk with Every single step I walk in All the lovers in the world Though the lonely night's returning I can feel the flame that's burning All the love...

Lost Brotherhood [Lawrence Gowan]

Image
Lost Brotherhood Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan On their street, on their strip No one's ever free from their grip You were weak, they were strong An offer of security, a place to belong Every now and then you'd hear a siren scream Not exactly something from your mother's dream They made plans, they made deals Marked with their indelible seal Every day, every night You feel their mission about to ignite Never could convince yourself there's nothing there Now the holy face of terror is the one you wear Another member of the lost brotherhood You stumbled in the wrong neighborhood Swore you'd never become one Now you find that you're one for good No escape, no choice Lost your self to the power of their voice You don't hear, you don't see Your mind's a blank and you Let it all be Once upon a time I knew another you Something must have happened Cause they've broken through They're your blood, they're your kin They...

Call it a Mission [Lawrence Gowan]

Call It A Mission Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Like the mouse that's in the maze That runs around for days on days Well that's the way I see your life is heading But if I read your signals right You're dying to explode tonight And if that be the case I think I'm ready You're got too much in you to let it lie Or contemplate a messy suicide If we've got to ride this road into paradise I think we might make something together Maybe we'll shake a dream to reality Help me to make it one to remember Forever - call it a mission This dirty little world you're on Is only yours until you're gone And who knows why this burden's laid upon you The sky is high, the seas are wide And no one's seen the other side Either way to say it plain - I want you I know it's bad - I can see you're bleeding But maybe you just found the thing you're needing There ain't a man alive right for you I tell you girl there's just o...

The Dragon [Lawrence Gowan]

Image
The Dragon Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Just a little problem, out of hand The consequence of supply and demand Violate the laws of nature End up with this awesome creature Another mouth to feed that no one planned Evil sire, breathing fire Belching smoke and fumes Behold the face of doom We can't stop runnin' The Dragon's comin' Death defiant man-made giant, The sum of all we killed A living toxic will We can't stop runnin' The dragon's comin' Fools will still deny the threat is real Though the jaws are snapping at our heels We tamed the wilds and raped the forests Mowed down everything before us Dressed our dreams in cloaks of chrome and steel Maybe someday, we can't know when Life will rise up again And a new light will shine On the dark ages we leave behind

Love Makes You Believe [Lawrence Gowan]

Love Makes You Believe Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Down desperate roads Sometimes you run for your life Only to find the answer Suddenly slips out of sight Yeah, you were fooled I guess you should take the blame Nothing can last forever Those are the rules of the game Now I'm calling, hear me calling out to you In the face of darkness Never hopeless Love makes you believe Through the disillusion And confusion Love makes you believe Don't hate the world It only is what it is Half ot it's run by losers They leave the rest to the kids So cover up my precious child You're gonna feel the cold a while So much is fake What can you do Just keep the faith In one thing that will come through In the face of darkness Never hopeless Love makes you believe Through the disillusion And confusion Love makes you believe When you say it's over You discover Love makes you believe Don't deny the wonder Any longer Love makes you believe

Fire it Up [Lawrence Gowan]

Fire It Up Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan A scorpion skims across the desert Warm winds are stirring up your soul It's giving your eyes that tempting flicker Just the kind that makes me lose control Fire it up, Fire it up, girl Fire it up, Fire it up, now Make it pay See the zombies drifting in the city I don't get much action from that crew But the scorpion skims across the desert Ain't it plain to see she ain't no fool Fire it up, Fire it up, girl Fire it up, Fire it up, now Make it burn hard There ain't no tomorrow, no tomorrow Burn hard No time to borrow, time to borrow You gotta make it pay Lawdy - Mama live it all today Fire it up, now Fire it up, now C'mon, make it pay Before the time has passed by you You got to let me touch your magic flame Eventually you know you're gonna die Come on, come on, you got to burn it till the end, girl Burn it to the end, girl Burn it Fire it up, Fire it up, girl Fire it up, Fire it up, now C...

Out of a Deeper Hunger [Lawrence Gowan]

Image
Out Of A Deeper Hunger Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan I've got rain in my shoes Every dime from the bank's been used Every time I play the lottery I lose But I don't care much for the clothes that I wear I'm never bothered by the length of my hair Set my sights on finer things Than all the rich man's gold can bring Out of a deeper hunger I'm at your door tonight Out of a deeper hunger - I want you My work just makes ends meet And I don't live on the best of streets In my rusty car the picture's quite complete But don't be fooled by this appearance you see Cause there is one thing sure to motivate me Maybe since I'm not impressed By common measures of success Out of a deeper hunger I'm at your door tonight Out of a deeper hunger - I want you Under this exterior There's a deeper world - ball of fire And I knew when I looked at you You've got something To bring me higher Out of a deeper hunger I'm at your doo...

Tender Young Hero [Lawrence Gowan]

Tender Young Hero Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan You had the secret everybody envied That many'd try to find but come up empty Yeah, you make it easy Or that's the way you make it seem So for a day we'll let you Live out all our dreams This is your big scene Tender Young Hero Up from zero Take a look around Shouldn't be too long Unless I'm dead wrong You'll be shot back down Well for a while you seemed to act real humble Then one by one we saw those virtues crumble You'd snap your fingers And everyone would start to crawl Soon you'll be asking "What's the meaning of it all" Yeah - Then look out for that fall Tender Young Hero Up from zero Take a look around Shouldn't be too long Unless I'm dead wrong You'll be shot back down Turning the world on With a passion That's the life you've found Tender Young Hero Bound for zero You'll be shot back down One day that famous face Will fade forever, wil...

Message from Heaven [Lawrence Gowan]

Image
Message From Heaven Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Once in a future dream I saw a tale unfold Not far away I'd dare to say There was a world unknown Torn to a million shreds Crippled with fear It would appear Then came a voice from the stars And all were listening to A message from heaven A message from heaven For the mighty that fell And the wise men as well Came a message from heaven "Very sorry all;... welcome to hell" Dark was the barren land Home to a savage race What had I missed Who deserved this? Then did the masses cry Cry with an angry rage Cursing the names Of who were to blame And so the truth was revealed Everyone knew it was A message from heaven A message from heaven For the mighty that fell And the wise men as well Came a message from heaven "Very sorry all;... welcome to hell" I kept my distance Wanted no part of this world The hateful existence The rot that this fate had unfurl Get me out of this world A message from he...
