1.
The Man in Black He managed a cinema in North Wales Started killing when he lost sales Often engaging in gay sex He struggled to finance his multiplex (Chorus) Peter Moore he killed four Knifing his victims to the floor He killed for fun, stabbed one in the bum He had no remorse for what he had done He’d dominate, humiliate With his truncheon or a knife He’d terrorise his victims Then disappear into the night (Chorus) (Bridge) He met Shipman while inside He died in Broadmoor it was denied A homosexual lover nicknamed Jason A life in prison is what he is facing (Chorus)
2.
Concrete Mixer Feeling sick just at the thought Heads in bits, innards contort Some people laugh when they’re scared Catch your senses unaware Doubt once planted is hard to kill A void so vast, it’s hard to fill Slice my chest, pull out my life Reduce my stature with harm and strife Fear shoved into mental process Overreaction its end of contest Trapped inside a venus flytrap No way out is it time to die yet (Bridge) Dry wash your hands Shake with fear Gasping for air Your time’s nearly here
3.
Sudden Frenzy Why do I go in these mad rages One minute fine, it goes in stages Anger screaming, total hate Then say sorry. It’s too late Am I Jekyll; am I hyde A mental button switched on inside Punch the wall not your face Feeling guilty a total disgrace Cursing under my breath Face flamed angered with rage Eyes glistening with tears Schizophrenia my only friend
4.
Socially Severed PC crowd baying for blood Take off your rose tinted glasses for good Dish it out but you just can’t take it Face to face and you still just fake it (Chorus) Have I become the city pariah Hunted condemned, burnt in the fire Hypocrites who criticise me only seeing what their eyes wanna see Is my hate just paranoia Do I really care Do I just hate people who just ain’t there Thrown out like a smoker discarded like a stub Stamp on my every word and drag me through the mud (Bridge) Your entitled to your own opinion But you’re weak and mentally frail Wash me from wickedness And lock me in my mental Jail
