THE PILGRIMS
Away From The Numbers Lyrics

Unexpected Shower
MUSIC: JOE KIDD
LYRICS: WENG (ZAMANI)

Sat next to a drunk a busride
Smell of beer on his breath (yuck!)
The bus took a sharp turn to the right
And the duke puked on my lap!
And the duke puked on my lap!
And the duke puked on my lap!
And the duke puked on my lap!
On my lap!
REPEAT ALL
On my lap!


Celebrating Mother
MUSIC: YIE COMBAT
LYRICS: LEE & JOE KIDD

Burn those tyres, feed these fires
Step on pedals, drive those meters
Listen to the death rattle
Heard from the throat of the earth
It's getting worse and worse and worse
Polluted minds, polluted children
Poisoned feelings, toxic purpose
Wasting out this modern world
Absorbed by the living dead
Mother earth is getting so old
CHORUS
Ozone layer gets thinner and thinner
Chemical dust gets thicker and thicker
Human life goes shorter and shorter
Our lands changed to scenes of slaughter
Choked to death our land laid bare
Suffocating carbom air
Nuclear testing in my backyard
Experimental suicide
Stop this scientists entertainment
We are not your specimen
Stop being so ignorant
Young man, wake up! oh! you need to learn!
REPEAT CHORUS
Burn those tyres, feed this fires
(Celebrate our ailing mother)
Step on pedals, drive those meters
(Celebrate our ailing mother)
Mother rhino murders, dolphin slayer
(Celebrate our ailing mother)
Glowing fishes, plastic rivers
(Celebrate our ailing mother)


True Steps
MUSIC: YIE COMBAT
LYRICS: LEE & JOE KIDD

I can't close my eyes on a rainy night
Our sweet memories make me cry
See you smile in the dim of a candle light
Together we're lost, together we fly
We talked of our lust with curtains drawn
Your perfume lingers and dragged me down
Always true always here
I'll be round this love's forever (4 times)
Mother me won't you please take my hand
Hide your steps this knife will follow (4 times)
I can't close my mind on a gloomy night
Your laughters ringing and make me smile
I wish I could have gone through all this wound
But I was so cold and so confused
Trust me that I always be around
Lurking and creeping and drag you down
Always true always here
I'll be round this love's forever (4 times)
Mother me won't you please take my hand
Hide your steps this knife will follow (repeat till fade)


Part-Time Punks
MUSIC: YIE COMBAT
LYRICS: LEE & JOE KIDD

Damaged looking kids posing in their leathers
Terrorising moms with their stares
Picking daddy's purse for a cool mohicans
Here comes another Saturday
CHORUS 1
Monday we'll be back in school
Obeying all the rules
Hiding our hair in caps
Next weekend we'll be back
Saturday punks they come out in numbers
Decorating drab city walls
Saturday punks hanging tough round the malls
Clueless insecure mommy's boys
CHORUS 2
Couldn't think on our own
Too scared to walk alone
Don't wanna be myself
Following all the rest
"I say old chap! Have you noticed those black-bottomed nazis recently?"
"Aaa... you must be referring to the red and blue mohicans!"
REPEAT CHORUS 1
"Hey, Mon! Can you raise up my dreads, please"
"Wot?!"
Saturday punks like to wear swastikas
Flying red and blue union jacks
Neo-nazi's army of bonehead cretins
Even when their bottoms are black
REPEAT CHORUS 2
REPEAT CHORUS 1


Marbles
MUSIC: YIE COMBAT
LYRICS: LEE & JOE KIDD

The day we lost our ignorance
The day our eyes are opened
The day we seek independence
The day this world turned violent
CHORUS
Weaving our way through
This mass of greedy hands
Leaving those puppets
One tug and they dance and they dance
Yes, sir! No, sir! Yes, sir!
That's what we all been saying
That's what we all been talking
Yes, sir! No, sir! Yes, sir!
That's what we all been saying
REPEAT CHORUS
The day we stepped over their lines
The day we embraced passion
The day we sang liberation
The day we met more fences
REPEAT CHORUS
Obey!
Don't think!
Don't blink!
That's what we all been learning
That's what we all been learning
Yes, sir! No, sir! Yes, sir!
That's what we all been talking
Beware Your Heart
MUSIC: JOE NG (THE PADRES)
LYRICS: JOE NG (THE PADRES)
RE-ARRANGEMENT: ILI, JOE KIDD & BULLET

Petrol kept inside a can
Screwed tight by a frightened world outside
The inside busride littered with items from
Human kind
A kind man won't know what's wrong or right
The only thing he knew
Was to give away what's true
A dreamer knew what he's supposed to do
Recommended by ev'ryone who got screwed
A systematic guilt trip devised by you
While all the others dry their eyes from blame
We have the same name
It's called shame we learn to breed in vain
CHORUS
Tears,
When it burn like rain always will,
Heal your heart
Fear,
When it burns you like pain always will,
Tear your heart
Beware of your heart
Beware of your heart
REPEAT FIRST TWO VERSE
REPEAT CHORUS
Tears when it burn, heal your heart
Fear when it burns, tear your heart
Tears when it burn, heal your heart
Always tear your heart


Falling Down All Over
MUSIC: YIE COMBAT
LYRICS: LEE & JOE KIDD

M-16s vomit sprays of bullets
Innocent birds started to screech
This is not the sound of a morning song
Only the sound of a broken dreams
This is a land of our mothers
These barricades of sacred trees
Keep our lungs off your concessions
Leave our shelter from your greed
CHORUS
Don't ask me!
Why the poor tribes led away in cuffs
Don't ask me!
Go to hell with your green tears they say
Dont ask me!
Power and more money makes them rough
Don't ask me!
Law just stand and laughing at our fears
Laughing at our fears
REPEAT FIRST TWO VERSE
REPEAT CHORUS
Cut them down
Blow them up
Waste away
Nobody cares!
REPEAT CHORUS TILL FADE


Life... Live It!
MUSIC: MAZUAN & THE PILGRIMS
LYRICS: LEE & JOE KIDD

Grow up! Learn!
Life! Aaaaa... live it!
You live your way
You're looked down by society
Don't give a shit
Stay on your path, your own decree
You choose your rails
Just do what you really wanna do
Striving away
For all the hopes you have in you
Grow up! Learn!
Life! Aaaaa... live it!
Against the grain
Or swimming up this river's flow
Nobody cares
You're insane for all they know
Run through the pain
Let all of them misunderstood
Being yourself
Go straight ahead and staying true
Grow up! Learn!
Life! Aaaaa... live it!


Fear Of Flowers
MUSIC: YIE COMBAT
LYRICS: LEE & JOE KIDD

Slash my heart, opened wide
Praying for the rain
(Praying for the rain)
Step right in, embrace our dreams
Won't ride this train in vain
(Ride this train in vain)
Walked this plane, so much to gain
No need to feel no shame
(No need to feel no shame)
Striving on, against the storms
Our tears will wash the sins
(Will it wash the stains ?)
Where you been, my brothers grim
Come hear the flowers sing
(Hear the flowers sing)
Grab your stuffs, straining hands
Giving none away
(Giving none away)
Generals laugh, our brothers died
Ain't world so deranged ?
(World so deranged)
Here you are, all torn apart
For all you've touched is pain
(Do you need the pain ?)
Baby... you can go on your way
Right here... on my path I'll stay
Oh ! soul, my heart !
Aren't you... missing me ?... (4 times)
REPEAT ALL


Pure
MUSIC: JOE KIDD
LYRICS: LEE

Dark side of me
Nothing that I could see
Unbearable pain again I scream
Live day by day
Life is just the same
Keep on doubting it's my middle name
Need to be loved, soul
Love that can never be sold
What can I say
Sometimes I just hate myself
I hate myself
REPEAT ALL
I walk, I creep and I crawl
I wanna be pure
I walk, I creep and I crawl
I wanna, I wanna.....
