Duel (Hackett)
Based on the film of the same name by Steven Speilberg.
There's a ten ton truck Coming down the road No matter how fast I drive No matter where I go Don't turn back It keeps coming near Don't turn back Don't let it come near Just when you think you're safe And you're in control You see an open road Not another soul Don't turn back It keeps coming near Don't turn back It keeps coming near Can't stop shaking and your blood runs cold Fuel injection that runs way too slow Will this killer win and run you off the road Don't turn back It keeps coming near Don't turn back It keeps coming near

Let Me Count The Ways (Hackett)

Let me count the ways I love you babe You don't know what you do I'm a mess without your love baby blue You were the only one I ever loved You know I owe you every time You were the first one to believe in me And that's before I had a dime I'm a mess without your love baby blue As I walk by along the waterfront With all my clothes soaked wet through Let me count the ways I love you babe You don't know what you do I'm a mess without your love baby blue
A Doll That's Made In Japan (Hackett)
An honourable man picks a slender orchid And crushed it between his hands The sacred knife of a Samurai Serves up Sushi in a sandwich bar A doll that's made in Japan Is made for every man A doll that's made in Japan Is made for every man Tigerlily with eyes of jade Takes you to a carnival of toy balloons See a kite floating by with the face of a Chinese mandarin It's such a different world it's hard to remember Which land you're in I seem to recall a milk white hand Painted with blood red fingernails A doll that's made in Japan Is made for every man A doll that's made in Japan Is made for every man A tiny girl with empty hands Walks the streets of Tokyo A doll that's made in Japan Is made for every man A doll that's made in Japan Is made for every man As you fly through a city of empty souls You feel that the wind is whispering
Myopia (Hackett/Magnus)
I can't see, I can't sleep I can't swim, I can't talk Can't write, I can't count I can't fly, can't play today Take your things and run away Grab yourself a holiday Fix your nose and change your name Thyroid eyes they diagnose Myopia... A red light, stomach ache Relax but don't be late It's too loud I've disappeared I can't drink, I can't tell the time Epic hero Gilgamesh Battling with a lioness One man war against the odds Spectacles that break because Myopia... I don't think I can afford ya You make me ugly anyhow I think I see a car before me Or maybe I've just hit a cow I don't think I can afford ya You make me ugly anyhow I think I see a car before me Or maybe I've just hit a cow Myopia...
What's My Name (Hackett/Magnus)
Stone mirror mountain rises from a low stream The scent of flowers like an ocean of weeds I take a boat formed like a long handled sword The Heavens are vast and the sea is broad What's my name... We find the great cave of burning clouds The water horses come flickering down A gap in consciousness, a picture takes shape I hear a thundering A tidal wave breaks What's my name...
Taking The Easy Way Out (Hackett)
Another night I've drunk my fill Perhaps it's time to dim the light And while the hours the sandman comes Stumbling round like a bowery bum Maybe I'll dream an Egyptian scene Taking the easy way out Taking the easy way out again Maybe we'll meet in paradise Where far beyond the shores of trust A boat on sea can travel the land We set sail for a castle of sand The desert wind Can darken your skin Taking the easy way out Taking the easy way out again Taking the easy way out I'm taking the easy way out again
