Татуированные британские парни, одетые в кожу и джинсу рубят бескомпромиссный байкерский рок-н-ролл без лишних изысков. При этом The Almighty не копируют Motorhead, что было бы неудивительно. Их музыка звучит на редкость свежо и мощно. В тяжелых, бескомпромиссных риффах композиций The Almighty нет ни малейшего намека на коммерцию, даже баллада "Bandaged Knees" спета низким голосом и звучит тяжело, как и следует хард-роковой песне. Трудно выделить какую- либо композицию - все на одном уровне, эдакие драйвовые, немного неуклюжие рок-н-роллы. Для тех, кто любит пиво и мотоциклы. |

Come back and see me when your something
[Chorus:]
I'm in a private hell
I won't get fooled again
They wanna see me die
They wanna crucify
You spend your nights getting dirty
Spend your nights feeling low
Don't piss on me and say it's raining
I think it's time you let go
[Chorus]
You gotta please me pretty baby
You gotta please me pretty child
Cos when it comes to lovin' you
You make it such an easy ride
[Chorus]
2. Free 'N' Easy
[Warwick / London]
Ain't no use in running
'Cos I'll get to you
Ain't no use in praying
God won't see you through
I believe in nothing
So don't believe in me
We all have our sins, baby
Hold on and you will see
I don't want it
Make me bleed
No medicine man's
Got what I need
[Chorus:]
Everything's so free 'n' easy
Everything's so free 'n' wild
Everything's so free 'n' easy
My pretty one, I'll take you for a ride
Don't need no fire
To fuel my soul
There's enough bitchin' baby
To do it on it's own
And if I get too lazy
I don't need no shove
How did I say I believed in nothin'
When Lord, I believe in love
[Chorus]
3. Joy Bang One Time
[Warwick / London / Tantrum]
Like a serpent but got no where to slide
Out makin' cars pretending how to live
Her virgin fires been kissed so many times
But hay man it's his to be wasted all the time
All the animals come out at night
Snakes and lizards been sleeping in your bed
Hanging out in the dollar hotels
You've spent your whole life sitting on the jon
[Chorus:]
Hollywood will never learn
Play with fire and you'll get burned
Joy bang one time
Gettin' high and feeling fine
Joy bang one time
Show me how you lose your mind
All alone, dead in the city
You're doing horse child don't look too pretty
Don't need no money cause it's heaven sent
But you don't tell nobody it ain't cool to pay the rent
One day you'll wake up wasted and done
Look in the mirror and you won't see no one
Just a crazy child who wanted to be free
You did it once but now you won't let it be
[Chorus]
The lights go down
And there's a haze of love
You tell your lies to dark
Cause it never gets enough
[Chorus]
4. Love Religion
[Warwick / London / James]
I won't believe no resurrection
I won't believe no gospel train
I won't see the light thats never ending
I won't be coming back again
I live in hell ain't got no mercy
No guardian angel from above
Don't talk to me about religion
When the only thing I need is love
[Chorus:]
Got a love religion
It's my saving grace
And no holy roller
Can change the hand of fate
Got a love religion
Guaranteed salvation
Ain't no time for penance
No need to fear damnation
Maybe, I might just be a sinner
When I look around me that's not true
Maybe I'll never get to heaven
But I don't care 'cos I got you
Don't need no preacher jiving on me
Heaven knows I've had enough
Don't talk to me about religion
When the only thing I need is love
[Chorus]
Preacher, you say I don't believe
Cos hate and love is the only God I breathe
My pretty child your my serenity
You're my religion when everthing's unreal
[Chorus]
5. Bandaged Knees
[Warwick / James]
Sittin' lone inside my head
No mirrors to reflect
Is this here the season of joy
Or the season to inject
Lord this must be judgment day
Take a close look at myself
Are you happy?
With the hand that you've been dealt
[Chorus:]
The bells they toll silently
Inflict invisible pain
Tell me which is more righteous
Chivas Regal or cocaine
Friends won't answer your phone calls
Call your long distance family
Well I hope someone is listening
As I sing on bandaged knees
On this holy day
I took to the skies
Are you tryin' to find yourself
Or just rearrange the time
Open up your spirit boy
Pass that liquid love
Do you prefer possessions
Or the purity of the dove
[Chorus]
Sing to me my little sister of mercy
Inspiration of my life
You know I can't stand the pain
But you know that I never cry
I play for you my love song
Sung only for the damned
I wish I could spend tonight with you
But you know that I can't
Look inside my black lines
Telling stories without couth
You might not like what they say
Cause they only speak the truth
Play for me tarot
Slip my neck through the belt
You can't change the ways of the game
When the cards are already dealt
[Chorus]
6. Praying To The Red Light
[Warwick / London / James]
Soul free ghetto sister, shakin' loose
On a psycho holiday
Wilderness angel
She's comes to blow my cares away
You can't resist temptation
If you do then life's a bore
State of love situation
I'm the one who knows the score
Searching for some Lucy take me in the sky
Spirit of her love gonna take me high
[Chorus:]
Praying to the red light
Getting too far down the line
Praying to the red light
Getting too far down the line
Dirty punk with a rebel funk
I'm too young to be old
White trash love disciple
Too free to be sold
Untamed education searchin' for my space
Sex, religion, TV
This rat has won the race
I believe in love, I believe in hate
And lovin' ain't a sin so hell can wait
[Chorus]
Dirty little minds, dirty little money
Reeperbahn delight going down honey
I believe in love, I believe in hate
Sold in sin city you know I can't wait
You know I can't wait
To keep on...
[Chorus]
7. Sin Against The Light
[Warwick]
Anything goes when anything's free
You got something to lose child lose it on me
Soul vibrations in the neon light
Still burning from the city lights
What the hell is wrong with you
I did it every way that you wanted me to
With a lifetime and a little luck
Gonna show you how to love,
Show you how to...
You got a bad religion
And it's bringing you down
Love is hard to find
When there ain't no love around
[Chorus:]
Well it ain't no sin
Sin against the light
Well it ain't no sin
Sin against the light
She's my first, last and always child
Can't keep her down unless she's tired
Turn on the lizard king
Shut the doors in your head
You wanna crucify me for the love I've bled
Take it down easy
Take it down slow
And try to understand
That deep inside your soul
[Chorus]
Whisky bottles and razor blades
Lust for life starts to fade
Ain't breakin' no laws just breakin' on through
That sweet disease got a hold on you
Anything goes when anything's free
You got something to lose child lose it on me
Shout at the red eyed sky above
Love is the law and the law is love
You got a bad religion
And it's bringing you down
Love is hard to find
When there ain't no love around
Take it down easy
Take it down slow
And try to understand
That deep inside your soul
[Chorus]
8. Little Lost Sometimes
[Warwick / Tantrum]
Emptiness inside my soul
Feelings scattered all around
I need somewhere to lose myself
But everywhere has been found
Sad eyes staring out the window
Tequila tears come raining down
And pain comes to leave you cold
So many miles between us and
So many endless roads
[Chorus:]
We're all searching for deliverance
When there ain't nowhere to run
Let your spirit down easy
Cos we're always gonna be
A little lost sometimes
And when there's nothing to believe in
Sometimes these words are not enough
And promises, so hard to keep them
It's hard to feel what you can't touch
Yesterday is yesteryear
Spirits bleeding into dust
Give me time to understand
This pretty thing that we call love
[Chorus]
What is this feeling rising over me
I might look alright but I'm scared as hell
The more I know the less I understand
Put me together before I fall apart again
[Chorus]
9. Devil's Toy
[Warwick]
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
That crazy woman put a spell on me
She said come closer I got something to tell
Got a heart full of soul and a soul full of hell
This crazy child will be the death of me
Better buy yourself some
Freedom 'cos it don't come free
Love flows like blood sweet angel dust
Pain leads to pleasure love leads to lust
She said...
[Chorus:]
Love only love,
Love is the devil's toy
She took me down in her soul asylum
She took me down
And she begged me to try some
Raises me up and we walk the sky
I kissed the flame of the fire in her eyes
God only knows and the devil may care
That love is my religion, love is my prayer
Lost in the darkness she was selling me light
Painful and beautiful hold on me tight
[Chorus]
Livin' on love and gasoline
Takin' me somewhere that I've never been
Losing my hold on reality
Give me deliverance, Lord deliver me
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
Can't bring me down when I'm alone
Love flows like blood sweet angel dust
Pain leads to pleasure love leads to lust
[Chorus]
10. What More Do You Want
[Warwick / James]
I got a chip on my shoulder
You can't knock off
If you and make me run
I'll just walk
The system tries to legislate
Can't break the wings that we wear
Yellow brick road leads to nothin'
I don't care
[Chorus:]
If I bleed in buckets
Would I be your debutante
Tell me what more,
What more do you want?
Dollar signs are for the blind
You can't break destiny
You can take away my freedom
But you know I'll always be free,
You can all say that you love me
But love is just a four letter word
Talkin' bout me degeneration
Sounds so absurd
[Chorus]
If I dropped my disguise
Would you put up a front
Tell me what more,
What more do you want?
It ain't about the fortune
It ain't about the vice
As long as I got the groove
Then I'll be alright
Still got a chip on my shoulder
You can call it attitude
Long as you label me nothing
Then I've got nothing to lose
You can all say that you love me
But love is just a four letter word
And talkin' bout my degeneration
Sounds so absurd
[Chorus]
If I dropped my disguise
Would you put up a front
Tell me what more
What more do you want?
Power and glory
Freedom and love
If I got it all then
What more do you want?
11. Hell To Pay
[Warwick]
It's hard to believe when your dead inside
It's hard to believe that it's good to be alive
Well I've been down so long
And now I wanna break free
Wanna break these chains
They keep puttin' on me
How long will the rain
Keep fallin' down on me
Cause I got something to say
When I get outta here
There'll be hell to pay
[Chorus:]
Hell to pay
Hell to pay
When you come my way
There'll be hell to pay
I've loved many and trusted few
I been fucked up and crazy too
A blond bitch came to ease my mind
We got it on and I'm feeling fine
You think you're so righteous
Lookin' down on me
You wanna kiss my ass
But when my back is turned
You wanna see me bleed
You wanna see me burn
And there'll be...
[Chorus]
I lose my mind so I can talk to the mindless
I take my love anyway I find it
Caught in the West End colours in my head
Screamin' at the asphalt to take me to bed
You bought yourself a little mercy for a while
Well I'm a serpent God with a love tattoo
Son of a bitch let loose on you
And there'll be...
[Chorus]
Hell to pay
Hell to pay
When you come my way
They'll be hell to pay
Well you can take my heart
Take my soul
But you better start believing that I want it all
Or there'll be hell to pay
How long will the rain keep falling down on me
Man, I don't give two fucks what you say
Cause when I get outta here there'll be
Hell to pay
[Chorus]
12. Loaded
[Warwick]
Loaded in the boulevard of broken dreams
White lightning soul serene
Can't seem to find my way
No I don't have the time
'cause I don't know the day
What you see is what you get
These things I do I don't regret
[Chorus:]
Gettin' loaded
Every fuckin' time
Getting loaded
Loaded down
Under my skin like a rose tattoo
This rose ain't red, man, this bitch is blue
From no mean city down to bullshit town
Going round in the underground
Outta sight and outta mind
I can't see that love is blind
[Chorus]
I'm just a crazy mixed up little kid
I never meant to do the things I did
Please believe me when I lie to you
I'm so far gone my soul's black and blue
Well I'm a hit and run problem child
I'm halfway to hell and still alive
Everything's free if you got the money
You can keep the milk I'll take the honey
What you see is what you get
These things I do I don't regret
Outta sight and outta mind
I can't see that love is blind
[Chorus]
Oh, I need you baby, Lord I need you now
Do what you want, do it anyhow
God it's too late to save me
'cause I'm already gone
I'm hooked into your love machine
Honey turn it on
She destroys me
She destroys me soul
She destroys me
Oh, and I want it all
Oh, I need you baby, Lord I need you now
Do what you want to, do it anyhow
Beat up Chevys kickin'
She kills me in the back
Just one look from you sweet child
Gives me a heart attack
She destroys me
She destroys me soul
She destroys me
Oh, and I want it all
