ENERGIZE LYRICS (in album order)
X FILES (Ian M. Carnochan – Notting Hill Music) 

1. Creature from hell appears on my bed,
In the fog walk the livin’ dead.
They wanna rip the beatin’heart outta me,
Food for their prodigy.
Aliens are tryin’ to get at my brain,
They wanna inject it with their DNA.
Replicating, infiltrating,
Everywhere ghosts and poltergeists are waitin’.

Ch: 	Ooh X-files (oh yeah)
	Ooh X-files (looks like anti-matter)
	Ooh X-files
	Ooh (oh yeah)

2. Radioactive jellyfish down on the farm,
And UFOs are here to do us harm.
Deep space werewolf climbing out of my TV,
Tryin’ to stick his dripping fangs in me.
Dark forces tryin’ to capture my girl,
Alien drugs got my brain in a whirl.
Little boy lost has got a demon,
Coma patients share a terrifying vision.

Ch: 	Ooh X-files (oh yeah)
	Ooh X-files (watch out)
	Ooh X-files (don’t touch that voodoo doll)
	Ooh

3. Doppelgangers tryin’ to drop in on me,
Battleships are teleporting out to sea.
Banging on my door three men in black,
They want that alien wreckage back.
Screaming skull in a burning sky,
Strange portents in a lullaby.
Things forecast that now come true,
It’s a weird world now for me and you.

Ch: 	Ooh X-files (here come the aliens)
	Ooh X-files (don’t touch me)
	Ooh X-files (don’t even look at me)
	Ooh 

Ch: 	Ooh X-files (what the hell’s in that jar)
	Ooh X-files (it’s some kind of living cloud)
	Ooh X-files
	Ooh 

FADING AWAY (Ian M. Carnochan – Notting Hill Music)  

1. Judas Iscariot waves from his Luxor,
King Canut is drowning on a new shore.
Edward the Fifth is tryin’ to get a loan,
And I feel baby too far from home.
Columbus sailed over the edge of the world,
He did it for the money and the girls.
And my life’s become a horror story,
Since I heard you wanna split from me.

Ch:	Your love is fading away.
	Your love is fading away.
	Your love is fading away.
	Oh no, oh no.

2. Norma Jean’s in the S3000,
Kissing me in a soft explosion.
Look at Darwin’s family tree,
Tax that amoeba and that monkey.
And sailors back in from the ocean,
Want pretty girls by the dozen.
And over there some lovers are saying goodbye,
It’s a cruel reflection of you and I.

Ch:	

Mid. 8:		History’s been and changed,
		I feel so betrayed.
		VR’s going all the way they shout,
		An’ blue crab-men from Jupiter wanna rip my liver out.
		(They’re gonna rip it out and fry it up!)

Solo:

3. Here comes the weekend,
She’s gonna spin me round again.
Ooh darlin’ darlin’,
Wanna be more than just your friend. (And -)

Ch: x 2

SO FAR DOWN  (Ian M. Carnochan – Notting Hill Music Ltd.)	

1. I said you can run, but you can’t hide,
You can’t escape the hurt, you feel inside.
You said you’re doomed, don’tcha know the inn is full,
She said there ain’t no room, in my heart for you.

Ch: 	So I’m caught here in this high-rise,
	Between the sunset and the sunrise,
	And I’m so far down that it feels like up to me.

2. She sends her love to you, through dark November skies,
She said she’d always be true, but you know she always lies.
And you’ll find out too late, all those games she plays,
And I’m alone now at this party, waitin’ on the break of day.

Ch:

Mid. 8:		Yeah it feels like up to me,
		To make my own way in this crazy crazy world.
		And I’m so far down that it feels like up to me.

Solo:

3. I loved you girl, but then that’s nothing new,
You’re the kind of person, nobody can say no to.
But I wish I’d missed this party out, or I’d met someone else,
‘Cos you don’t know, how I felt.

Ch:

Mid. 8:

And I’m so far down that it looks like up to me.

NEW BRAIN	(Ian M. Carnochan – Notting Hill Music Ltd.)

1. My baby’s got a new brain,
Now she don’t even remember my brain.
Goes out with every guy she sees,
Don’t care about lil’ old me.

Ch: 	New Brain, new brain, new brain, new brain.
	My baby’s got a new brain.
	New Brain, new brain, new brain, new brain.
	My baby’s got a new brain.

2. Her new brain says I’m no longer cool,
And it won’t let me see her ‘cos it’s working to rule.
She wants someone younger with more get up and go,
And I’m also too ugly, don’tcha know. (Yeah-)

Ch:

Mid.8:		The word is out and it’s goin’ around,
		This girl’s the hottest property here in town
		Used to be mine, eyes only for me,
		Now she’s got so many guys it’s making me dizzy. (Yeah-)

Ch:				(Yeah-)

Solo:

3. Her new brain’s gotta be working overtime,
If I wanna see her I gotta wait in line.
Then it says it’s only winners for me,
Not some old two-bit loser, no siree!

ROCK THE KIDS	(Ian M. Carnochan – Notting Hill Music Ltd.)

Forests are burnin’ outta control,
Nuclear disaster’s on a roll.
Children are dying all over the world,
And a nasty disease took away my girl.
The president says he knows best,
Yeah let’s have another nuclear test.
Chemical weapons in Iraq,
Yeah let’s plunge the world into the dark. (An’-)

Ch: 	Hey hey, never mind that shit,
	Everybody wants you to rock the kids.
	Record company needs more hits.
	Everybody wants you to rock the kids.

2. Under a tropical sun,
The AIDS final countdown has begun.
War and disease are doin’ the rounds,
And ethnic cleansing will be coming a’ town.
Weather patterns are going crazy,
There’s insane stuff all over my TV.
An’ while the environment goes to hell,
You jus’ wanna ring your bell.

Ch:

Mid. 8:		Everyone seems to say,
		This is the world today.
		And all the kids just want you to,
		Rock away their blues...

Solo:

I’m rich,
An’ I’m alright.
And beggars on the street,
Wish me goodnight.
Global warming’s all the rage,
But nature can turn another page,
Earthquakes and asteroids are tryin’ to get me,
An’ a tidal wave from a poisoned sea...

Ch: 

Ch:	Play some heavy guitar licks,
	Everybody wants you to rock the kids.
	Never mind this world is fallin’ a’ bits,
	Everybody wants you to rock the kids.
	Rock the kids,
	Rock the kids,
	Rock the kids,
	Yeah!

		
3/4 ANGELINA (Ian M. Carnochan – Notting Hill Music Ltd.)

1. He hides in the long grass.
Waitin’ for you.
With his stolen kitchen knife,
To give you a cut or two.
Everythin’ is so tight,
It’s all closin’ in tonight.
At the crossroads of your life,
Here tonight.

Ch: 	3/4 Angelina x 2

2. Everything switches to red,
There’s something wrong inside his head.
Too much electricity tonight,
The mask is pulled too tight.
There’s an empty cell,
In the local psycho ward.
Two gaolers lie dead,
Strangled with electrical cord.

Ch: 3/4 Angelina x 2

3. He’s cuttin’, yeah he’s cuttin’ 
A, A, A, A, Angelina.
You’re now less than you were,
But now his heart is pure.

ANIMALS (Ian M. Carnochan – Notting Hill Music Ltd.)	

1. We force animals to live in concentration camps,
You wouldn’t like that now would you, no thanks. 
Calves raised for veal became a no no,
And pull that bear around by a ring in its nose.
Raising chickens in factories it ain’t natural.
We got them living in their de-beaked hell.
They ain’t dumb animals so to speak,
They ain’t just here for us to eat. (An’)

Ch:	These animals don’t have no rights,
	Like you and me.
	These animals are only good for one thing,
	They’re good to eat.

2. They ain’t got no rights like you and me,
So let’s cut ‘em up in a laboratory.
Stick some wires in a monkey’s brain,
It’s so cool to make him go insane.
These animals sure did nothin’ to me,
But I gotta abuse them for the cosmetics’ industry.
These animals can find a cure for cancer,
Their pain will give us the answer. (An’)

Ch:

Solo:

3. Animal rights, it’s all a little hazy,
In the meantime pass me the gravy.
They got no spokesman ‘cos they don’t speak,
So come on boys – let’s eat!

Solo:

4. Gotta test this new paint in some rabbit’s eye,
Grind up these little pigs to make a yummy pork pie.
I tell you sheep and lambs must of course,
One day come and meet Mr. Mint Sauce. (An’)

Ch:

TONITE (Robbie Tart – Copyright Control)  

1. My baby used to run,
My baby used to cry.
And I’m dancing with a gun,
It’s time for her to die.
She used to call me friend,
Well on the telephone.
Well honey won’t you try,
To live your life alone.

Ch: 	Tonight, tonight,
	My head is gone.
	Well alright tonight ,
	Woa –oh-oh-oh.

2. Well she left me on my own,
And taken all my dreams,
I’ve got friends but I’m alone,
Nothin’ here is what it seems.
Well she used to call me friend,
Well on the telephone.
Hell now honey won’t you try,
To live your life alone.

In the mornings,
I can’t believe you wanna be,

Ch: 	‘Cos you make me feel brand new (oh yes you do).
	Yeah you make me feel brand new.

1. The way you hold my hand, 
The way you make plans.
The way you look at me with those eyes,
I don’t understand it’s such a surprise.
You go to work so early, 
In the day,
While I stay here in bed,
Wishing you could stay.

Ch: 

Mid. 8: 	Your hands, the curve of your hips,
		The cut of your hair, the touch of your lips.
		The way you look at me girl,
		Like I’m the best thing in the world.

GENERAL PURPOSE HUMAN BEING (Ian M. Carnochan – Notting Hill Music Ltd.)

1. Well he’s a general purpose human being,
General purpose stuff is what he’s doing.
He’s got a general purpose job and a general purpose wife,
He’s got an incredibly boring general purpose life.
He gets up every morning at 7,
He has a general purpose breakfast and then he gets going.
He’s got an hour of commuting each way on the train.
It’s no surprise he’s half-insane.

And has a three-week general purpose holiday every year.

And he hopes he’s living in a general purpose nation.
