Suburban Sprawl
03:21
|
|||
|
Post war nuclear family of five,
backyard, Hills Hoist, Kingswood in the drive,
paying off a mortgage or renting out a flat,
you’re part of the rat race, you’re just another rat.
Suburban Sprawl, Suburban Sprawl
The plans are on the table, the writings on the wall
Catching public transport is a waste of fuckin’ time,
congestion on the freeway, pollution in the sky,
developers are dreaming of slicing up the land,
kicking out the locals, building hotels on the sand
Suburban Sprawl, Suburban Sprawl
The plans are on the table, the writings on the wall

Blood on the Coping
03:22
|
|||
|
My skateboard’s my weapon, I use it with force,
the ramp is the target, stay focussed on course,
you don’t see it coming, my vertical assault,
heads blown & cut down my final result,
There’s blood on the coping, There’s blood on the coping,
There’s blood on the coping and blood on my wheels,
Blood on the Coping!
The sound of people screaming is music to my ears,
this what we do for fun, this is what you fear,
blood on the coping, heads are blown right off,
ripping up carnage, don’t want it to stop.
There’s blood on the coping, There’s blood on the coping,
There’s blood on the coping and blood on my wheels,
Blood on the Coping!
My skateboard’s my weapon, I use it with force,
the ramp is the target, stay focussed on course,
there’s blood on the coping, heads are blown right off,
ripping up carnage, don’t want it to stop.

Jake Brown, hit the ground, mega ramp, mega slam,
five foot tall, he aint small. Is he real? or man of steel!
He fell from the sky, the man who wouldn’t die,
He just walked away, to skate another day.
720, cleared the gap, aero plug to body slap,
aint no lie, most would die, the whole world would ask him why
He fell from the sky, the man who wouldn’t die,
He just walked away, to skate another day.
Jake Brown! Jake Brown! Jake Brown! Jake Brown!
Jake Brown, hit the ground, mega ramp, mega slam
aint no lie, most would die, the whole world would ask him why

Time to Rock n Roll
02:59
|
|||
|
Just got here and padded up, carved a line, don’t give a fuck,
did a grind and broke my truck, wouldn’t ya know it, that’s just my luck.
Now its time to Rock n Roll, turning up the volume control,
Now its time to Rock n Roll, into this grind I pour my soul.
Got a kingpin, that’s what I’m after, to avert a complete disaster,
just give me a minute with a spanner, next time I’ll just go faster.
Now its time to Rock n Roll, turning up the volume control,
Now its time to Rock n Roll, into this grind I pour my soul.
I live my life the skater’s way, roll of the dice is the price I pay
For being wild and having my way, I’ll rock n roll for the rest of my days

Search the papers, buy a car, smash the windows with a bar,
weld the doors, take out the seat, fill the fenders with concrete,
heavy metal always wins, a big yank tank with big tail fins,
dutch courage & balls of steel, psycho nut case at the wheel!
at the DEMO DERBY, driving in reverse
at the DEMO DERBY, the winner drove a hearse
at the DEMO DERBY, yobbos on the hill
at the DEMO DERBY, psycho nut case at the wheel
Roll on up to Rowley Park, where daytime turns into dark,
racing fuel & alcohol, Dagwood Dogs and Chiko Rolls,
now its time to drive & smash, turn you vehicle into trash,
rules to break & cash to get, a life size Smash Up Derby Set!
at the DEMO DERBY, driving in reverse....
.....
Keep your eyes upon the prize, your balls of steel between your thighs,
watch your back, protect your nose, take a hit, that’s how it goes,
spin the wheel & grind the gears, plant your foot, forget your fears,
drop the clutch & drive like hell, think about that trophy girl!
Demolition Derby, Demolition Derby, Demolition Derby,
at the Demo Derby, a psycho nut case at the wheel! SMASH!

Death Race
04:09

|
The death race, it kills you, the death race, death race kills you
Go fast, or come last, this is your last run, last chance
the corner is coming, it grips you, whips you, flips you,
the fast pace, the time chase, the insane high-speed death race.
The death race, it kills you, the death race, death race kills you
the stopwatch is ticking, you’re fast, you’re fuckin’ ripping,
the corner is coming, it grips you, whips you, flips you,
the fast pace, the time chase, the insane high-speed death race.
The death race, it kills you, the death race, death race kills you
Go fast, or come last, this is your last run, last chance
the corner is coming, it grips you, whips you, flips you,
the fast pace, the time chase, the insane high-speed death race.

BMX

When the working day is done, I wanna roll & have some fun,
get some air before it’s too dark, but fuckn’ kooks invade the park,
stick your wax right up your ass, learn to grind by going fast,
go find something else to do, go gel your hair or sniff some glue.
BMX, BMX, BMX, BMX
Roller Blades, Roller Blades, Roller Blades, Roll…BMX
Get your pedals out of here, grinding time is drawing near,
no more of your snaking groms, there’s skaters here to drop the bombs,
get the fuck out of my way, I’ve been hanging for a roll all day,
get your fruit boots out of here, grinding time is drawing near.
BMX, BMX, BMX, BMX
Roller Blades, Roller Blades, Roller Blades, Roll…BMX
Its Its BMX, Its Its BMX, Its Its BMX, Its Its BMX!

Shit's Getting Crazy

I have a hard time pulling a grind, combo flips they do my mind
get the fuck get outta my face, dudes pullin’ trey flips all over the place, if I see a nollie heel I gotta shout
Shit’s getting crazy, shit’s getting crazy
Too fat n’ lazy, shit’s getting crazy
Nollie in, 180 out, what the hells that all about,
can’t you just do a big board slide, isn’t that how you’re s’posed to ride?, riding switch must be all the rage, guess I’m really showing my age, I can’t even do that going forward
Shit’s getting crazy, Too fat n’ lazy
Shit’s getting crazy, shit’s getting crazy

If Its Rockin'
03:35
|

I went for a cruise in my panel van,
heading for the place of the sea & the sand,
let the dog out so off he ran,
another day in the life of a panel van,
I went for a drive on the long weekend,
I drove it up the wall & around the bend,
I just sleep anywhere in the end,
it’s like a party on wheels for me & my friends
If its rockin’ don’t bother knockin’ (x 4)
The car I drive has got a reputation,
started by the 70s generation,
don’t laugh, your daughter’s got an invitation,
you better run for your life coz its a panel van,
I wake up & it doesn’t matter where I am,
I’ll have a cup of tea & a muffin with jam,
any sort of scenery don’t bother me,
because it all looks good from the back of the V.
If its rockin’ don’t bother knockin’ (x 4) Yeah!

Everything To Gain
03:38
|
|||
|
Four wheels two trucks and a piece of wood,
aint doing nothing wrong, aint doing nothing good,
adrenalin is pumping, got that fire in my eye,
I got a bag of tricks and a bunch of fast lines.
Don’t feel no pain, but I’ve paid my dues,
Got everything to gain, and even more to lose!
I am a speed freak, I am a dude,
I like going fast, sometimes just cruise
ripping it up, my wheels they melt
making the best of the cards I’ve been dealt
Don’t feel no pain, but I’ve paid my dues,
Got everything to gain, and even more to lose!
Hit the lip, do a trick, if you dare, 10ft air,
Dig a hole, build a bowl, this is fuckn’ rock and roll!
Four wheels two trucks and a piece of wood,
aint doing nothing wrong, aint doing nothing good,
adrenalin is pumping’, got that fire in my eye,
I got a bag of tricks and a bunch of fast lines.
Don’t feel no pain, but I’ve paid my dues,
Got everything to gain, and even more to lose!
