Parting Shot 03:04
Through with givin’, always on the take and I ain’t got anymore. A little livin’ on the other side of heaven can I ever be forgiven? Day out day in, workflow sinking, will you make it will you make it? Up all night thinking, screaming out loud, little beat up, never breaking. Don’t you know, We were made for Don’t you know we were made for We were made for more You got your medicine, you got a mortgage and a dog, you got a prison. Collars up, shoes shining like a mirror with your back against a pillar Day out day in, workflow sinking, will you make it will you make it? Up all night thinking, screaming out loud, little beat up, never breaking. Don’t you know, We were made for Don’t you know we were made for We were made for more

Ride On 03:33
Chasing down the sun, little sister let your hair down Burning up the atmosphere, tearing up the underground Shotgun at the dancehall, everybody on the ground Staking our claim, taking hits until we head into another town By the time day breaks, in the morning we’ll be gone And the burden on our backs lifted with the sun Open like a register, feet up on the dashboard Closer than we’ve ever been, further from wanting more Carry out our enterprise, fire like inhibition Hand on the switch, throwing knives in the night without direction By the time day breaks, in the morning we’ll be gone And the burden on our backs lifted with the sun By the time day breaks, in the morning we are gone If you’re riding down our way, ride on Whenever we come, wherever we go, whatever we done, nobody undo Till you and I die and die and die and die again, till death do us part.

Well the drums were going wild at the Nile Crocodile Mikey held up the bar with that hair and a smile We were running in circles We were runnin' for miles And George and the boys would sing Oh and George and the boys would sing Kids are down at the lot hanging out by the cars As the Hogs started rumbling down to the bar The floor's getting sticky, the air's a cigar And George and the boys would sing Oh and George and the boys would sing It's a pantomime, every act it's allotted time Charging till the bell is rung until the music's done Charging till we reach the sun Break the circle and run Break the circle and run Break the circle and run Break the circle and run Miguel look kinda nervous when it get outta hand George holding up the roof introducing the band Round back somebody looking for a one night stand While George and the boys would sing Oh and George and the boys would sing It's a pantomime, every act it's allotted time Charging till the bell is rung until the music's done Charging till we reach the sun Break the circle and run Break the circle and run Break the circle and run Break the circle and run And the years roll past and the boundaries move, 'cause the more you live, the less you can prove Well you lived your time and you lived it true Now what's left of the boys can sing Now it's up to the boys to sing

In Liverpool 06:00
In Liverpool On Sunday No traffic On the avenue The light is pale and thin Like you No sound, down In this part of town Except for the boy in the belfry He's crazy, he's throwing himself Down from the top of the tower Like a hunchback in heaven He's ringing the bells in the church For the last half an hour He sounds like he's missing something Or someone that he knows he can't Have now and if he isn't I certainly am Homesick for a clock That told the same time sometimes you made no sense to me if you lie on the ground in somebody's arms you'll probably swallow some of their history And the boy in the belfry He's crazy, he's throwing himself Down from the top of the tower Like a hunchback in heaven He's ringing the bells in the church For the last half an hour He sounds like he's missing something Or someone that he knows he can't Have now and if he isn't I certainly am I'll be the girl who sings for my supper You'll be the monk whose forehead is high He'll be the man who's already working Spreading a memory all through the sky In Liverpool On Sunday No reason to even remember you now Except for the boy in the belfry He's crazy, he's throwing himself Down from the top of the tower Like a hunchback in heaven He's ringing the bells in the church For the last half an hour He sounds like he's missing something Or someone that he knows he can't Have now and if he isn't I certainly am

In a smoked out room, is where I met you You were clad in black and grey And you heard the notes from the devil's lyre That tore your heart away And you went off into the darkest night That forgotten hill But you returned, right next to me You were to close to see This town’s light, the city night is smoldering Blistered asphalt, tempered by these hearts of desire No matter how tight the grip or how you hold on If the moment is seized, it's already gone Like the crack of a Bullwhip with it's temporary sting It was all over, 'fore we noticed anything. When we're battered from side to side Will we stay by my side? And all is lost to the rising tide Will you be standing by (my side) Wandering through the valleys, old rivers of shale Shoulder to shoulder, hammer tooth n' nail We have all been wounded by that treacherous cross By this boon I'm sober albeit a cost 25 years of progress measured one step at time For a moment , lift my gaze and see your engines burning I vow that if we lose our way, this contract signed in blood I will not be deafened, made callous or blinded to your light When we're battered from side to side Will you stay by my side Succumbing to the rising of the tide Will you be standing by When we're battered from side to side Will we stay by my side? And all is lost to the rising tide Will you be standing by (my side)

about

The SlashDogs Johannesburg, South Africa

“The SlashDogs do things differently from other South African bands… they don’t give a F**K about conforming to the current `standard` rock feel that their competition is putting out. They went back to the roots of real `Rock And Roll`, learnt from it and began to play real rock and roll.” – rockpulse.co.uk ... more
