1. Bitter Pill

Drum Programming – Josh Campbell
Written-By – Billy Idol, Eric Bazilian, Glen Goss

Riding down this road
Like I’ve ridden down a million
I’ve run through every road block in this town
I laughed at all the signs that say “speed’ll kill ya”
It took you to slow me down

I’d forgotten how to fly
But I’ll remember before I die

It’s a crooked line I follow
It’s a rocky road I ride
It’s a bitter pill I swallow
Just to keep you by my side

A white man sings the blues
Like there just ain’t no tomorrow
‘cause misery is always colorblind
I’ve taken every remedy for ignorance and sorrow
Something to cure this wicked mind

And I’d forgotten how to fly
But I’ll remember before I die

It’s a crooked line I follow
And a rocky road I ride
It’s a bitter pill I swallow
Just to keep you by my side
Just to keep you satisfied

I’ve forgotten the reasons why
But I’ll remember before I die

It’s a crooked line I follow
It’s a rocky road I ride
It’s a bitter pill I swallow
Just to keep you by my side
Just to keep you satisfied
Just to keep you by my side

Satisfied
Satisfied

It’s a wicked world, baby

Riding down this road
Like I’ve ridden down a million
I’ve run through every road block in this town
I laughed at all the signs that say “speed’ll kill ya”
It took you to slow me down

The devil’s house in the shape of a chapel
You hid the knife in the core of an apple
Burn me, try to hurt me
Try to hit me when my back was turning

I saw you wait when the shadows were growing
You’re talking straight
But your colors are showing
Burn me, try to hurt me
Try to get me when my head was turning

You want to rain on my survival story
You’re crazy baby ‘cause I’ve never had a doubt
I’m singin’ songs about love and glory
Oh oh oh

Your gun went
BANG BANG BANG
You shot me to the ground
But you can’t break me down

BANG BANG BANG
You tried to knock me out
No, you can’t break me down

It’s just my natural reaction
When I hit the floor
I’m the original assassin
I come up for more

You put me up so you can watch me crumble
I always knew you were some kind of trouble
Lurking, you can’t hurt me
‘cause I see just how your evil’s working

A silver tongue with the best of intentions
But you’re a child with the cruelest inventions
Burning, you’re just hurtin’
I know somewhere deep in hell you’re workin’

You want to rain on my survival story
You’re crazy baby ‘cause I never had a doubt
I’m singing songs about love and glory
Oh oh oh

Your gun went
BANG BANG BANG
You shot me to the ground
But you can’t bring me down

BANG BANG BANG
You try to knock me out
No, you can’t break me down

It’s just my natural reaction
When I hit the floor
I’m the original assassin
I come up for more

You don’t know what you started
You hit but missed the target
You don’t know what you started
You hit but missed the target
You don’t know what you started
You hit but missed the target
You don’t know what you started
You hit but missed the target

BANG BANG BANG
You shot me to the ground
But you can’t break me down

BANG BANG BANG
You tried to knock me out
No, you can’t break me down

It’s just my natural reaction
When I hit the floor
I’m the original assassin
I come up for more

I trusted a priest
I fell to his feet
And he raised me up there
Then cut me off at the knees

I trusted the law
They didn't help me at all
I wound up black, blue, screwed
In the back of his car

I don't want to wake up alone
I need you to hear me now
I don't want to do it alone
I need you here with me now

I don't want to wait for your love
I need you to save me now

They got me and I'll never give up
But I need you to save me now

Well they feed upon the poor
My head is banging on the floor
Yes it's over, Yes it's over
They're lying

I don't want to wait for your love
I need you to save me now
Save me now

I once had a girl, I gave her my word
But she played around, put me down
Still wanted the pearl

So I went to a priest
Yes I fell to his feet
And he just raised me up
To cut me off at the knees

I don't want to wake up alone
I need you to hear me now
I don't want to do it alone
I need you here with me now

I won't want to wait for your love
I need you to save me now
They got me and I'll never give up
But I need you to save me now

'cause the priest and the law
Truth is pounding at the door
Yes it's over, yes it's over
They're dying

I don't want to wait for your love
I need you to save me now
Save me now

I don't want to wake up alone
I need you to hear me now
I don't want to do it alone
I need you here with me now

I don't want to wait for your love
I need you to save me now
They got me and I'll never give up
But I need you to save me now

Well they feed upon the poor
My head is banging on the floor
Yes it's over, yes it's over
They're lying

I don't want to wait for your love
I need you to save me now
Save me now


4. One Breath Away

Programmed By [Additional] – Cameron Gower Poole*
Written-By – Billy Idol, Billy Morrison, Steve Stevens

If I had a world to give
If I had a life to live
Would you come to me?
Would you come to me?

And if I had the time in hand
Spelt out in grains of sand
Would you be with me?
Would you be with me?

You see that everything I do
Still leaves me lost and alone for you

If I could find some time
And a place to hide
I could sit right down and free my mind
One breath away
One breath away

And I know the past is dead and gone
Wasted emotions carry on
One breath away
One breath away, my dear

Girl, when you took me by the hand
You touched the child inside the man
And I was free
Yes I was me
But then love took a different turn
And now the child begins to burn
'cause I'm angry
'cause I can feel

You see that everything I do
Still leaves me lost and alone for you

If I could find some time
And a place to hide
I could sit right down and free my mind
One breath away
One breath away

And I know the past is dead and gone
Wasted emotions carry on
One breath away
One breath away, my dear

Here comes the pressure
And it's coming down hard
My spirit is fading
But I'm still gonna fight

Here comes the pressure
And it's coming down hard
My spirit is fading
But I'm still gonna fight
If I could find some time

And a place to hide
I could sit right down and free my mind
One breath away
One breath away

And I know the past is dead and gone
Wasted emotions carry on
One breath away
One breath away, my dear

One breath away
And that's the hardest breath to take, my dear

6. Kings & Queens of the Underground

Flute – Renate Sokolovska
Written-By – Billy Idol, Billy Morrison, Steve Stevens

Born in a time that wasn't made to last. In 1977 it went fast.
Johnny told us to rise, not to give a shit. And then 'Kiss me deadly' and we had a hit.
Last night in the Roxy we fucked on the floor. Shot up in the bathroom and said we were bored.

But if you are here tonight - And you hear these sounds
Then we are still Kings and Queens of the underground
I don't mean to be profound but if i'm still around
Then we are still Kings and Queens of the underground.

1984 'Rebel Yell' had the floor. And all we said was 'more more more'
Well I touched you with my 'Eyes Without A Face'.
I was 'Hot in the City. Yes I thought I was ace.
But I didn't know then when i was in your front room
On MTV baby I was high as the moon

Oooh Golden years (x4)

Sold all my vinyl - It went up my arm
And i thought rock n roll wouldn't do me no harm.
Now i'm rolling a joint, yes I'm dressed in black
If we lose the music baby we can never go back

Jonesy said, 'Bill, don't be profound
If you are still a King of the underground'
If you hear my voice, dig these Rebel sounds
Then we are still Kings and Queens of the Underground
If you hear my voice and I'm still around…
Then we are still Kings and Queens of the Underground



7. Eyes Wide Shut

Arranged By, Programmed By [Orchestral Arrangement And Programming], Keyboards – Pete Murray
Drum Programming – Tim Weidner
Written-By – Billy Idol, Billy Morrison, Steve Stevens

You call me crazy
As you call my name
But your temptations
Drive me insane

A golden silence
With the lights so low
An invitation that I'll never know

Queen of the scene
But you're so obscene
With your long black hair
And you just don't care

The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
You know I fell for you
With my eyes wide shut

The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
I should have walked away
With my eyes wide shut

Spiral staircase
And a flowing robe
Eyes of fire
That give me hope

But through the airways
A sign so clear
There is someone else that you hold dear

Changing your mind
In the blink of an eye
And forgettin' your lies
It was no surprise

The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
You know I fell for you
With my eyes wide shut

The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
I should have walked away
With my eyes wide shut

Worldwide chaos girl
People love and hate
A nationwide panic, yeah
And the future quakes

The social network
Betrayed my dreams
You with another guy
My mind starts to scream

The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
You know I fell for you
With my eyes wide shut

You call me crazy
As you call my name
You call me crazy

The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
You know I fell for you
With my eyes wide shut

The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
I should have walked away
With my eyes wide shut

9. Nothing To Fear

Keyboards [Additional] – Cameron Gower Poole*
Written-By – Billy Idol, Billy Morrison, Steve Stevens

When you are small
They make you crawl
They make you run away
And then you grow tall
Like a skyscraper, you start to fall

There was a time
When the sun would always shine
Now there’s a day
When the pain just won’t go away

Dreams are made and broken
In my mind
Do you feel the same inside?

Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear (but fear itself)
I’m making it clear
That I am not afraid

Nothing to fear
I say the future is here (so heal yourself)
It’s a new frontier
There’s nothing to fear
In my world

I had a girl
She was young, like a summer wind
But seasons they change
And the cold, began comin’ in

Now if I feel bad
I stop, and I turn around
I tell myself it’s me
Or this crazy town

Dreams are made and broken
In my mind
Do you feel the same inside?

Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear (but fear itself)
I’m making it clear
That I am not afraid

Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear (so heal yourself)
I’m making it clear
There’s nothing to fear
In my world

When you walk alone
You’re not on your own
If you realize
What’s behind my eyes

So please understand
I’m holding your hand
I’m leading you blind
Inside my mind
So let your troubles fly, yeah

Dreams are made and broken
In my mind
Do you feel the same inside?

Dreams are made and broken
In my mind

Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
I’m making it clear
That I am not afraid

Nothing to fear
I say the future is here
It’s a new frontier
There’s nothing to fear

Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
I’m making it clear
That I am not afraid

Nothing to fear
You’ve faced the new frontier
So sound the ‘all clear’
There’s nothing to fear
But fear itself

11. Whiskey & Pills

Drum Programming – Cameron Gower Poole*
Drums – Joel M Peters*
Written-By – Billy Idol, Brian Tichy

The sun you know it rots my brain
The way I walk is with a cane
The wind it blows it takes me in
And times it turns it makes me thin

My life is going down the drain
My wife you know she went insane
My kids are messed up in the brain
But when I’m high I feel no shame

When my mind won’t hold still
When I feel the sickening chills
When I feel I’ve had my fill
And every voice I hear is shrill
I calm myself with whiskey and pills
I calm myself with whiskey and pills

The people I know
Their number’s changed
Their view of me is rearranged
The way I see they’re really strange
I’ve got no reason to play their games, yeah

They look at me with eyes a stare
I look at them but I don’t care
I tell them all, what’s fair is fair
And here and there and everywhere

When my mind won’t hold still
When I feel the sickly chills
When I feel I’ve had my fill
And every voice I hear is shrill
I call upon my friends
Whiskey and pills
I call upon my friends
Whiskey and pills
Ooh, ooh, whiskey and pills

When you see me
I’m a-roaming around
My face hits the pavement
Yes I’m on the ground
Turn me around, see if I’m okay
Check out this smile
That’s on my face

I never thought I was gonna die
Until I stared into God’s eyes
He said to me “well, come on son
Better shape up boy, your days are done”

Up my mind I got the chills
Even though he talked with skill
Of the voice I heard the shrill
It was a sound I had to kill
I turned around and grabbed
The whiskey and pills

Can’t say goodbye to
Whiskey and pills
I call upon my friends
Whiskey and pills

I calm myself with
Whiskey and pills
