I'm disconnecting, turning back and descending To see the world from a new point of view. With no one to call one, no one to help me, I won't even know how to get hold of you. When I need the answers to the difficult questions, Maybe I should have written them down, But if I'm resourceful, and if I'm tenacious, Maybe I'll learn to find my way 'round. I am going on walkabout, I don't know if I'll ever get home. I am going on walkabout, with no provisions, all on my own. Into the wild, with nothing but the will to survive. Into the wild, with no one here to keep me alive. Living our lives with the things we rely on, Things we rely on can suddenly break. Now I'll see who I am, I'll see what I'm made of, See if I've really got what it takes To go out in the open, in the face of some danger, Laying it all out there on the line Without any humans, though I think that they're out there, If only someone would give me a sign. I am going on walkabout, I don't know if I'll ever get home. I am going on walkabout, with no provisions, all on my own. Into the wild, with nothing but the will to survive. Into the wild, with no one here to keep me alive. Into the wild, with nothing but the will to survive. Into the wild, with no one here to keep me alive. I am going on walkabout, I don't know if I'll ever get home. I am going on walkabout, with no provisions, all on my own. Into the wild, with nothing but the will to survive. Into the wild, with no one here to keep me alive. Into the wild, with nothing but the will to survive. Into the wild, with no one here to keep me alive. Into the wild... Into the wild...

Lose My Mind 03:16
In my darkest days I would dream of the sea With the light on the sand and you next to me But if I cross this ocean and I pray that I do It is gonna take me farther and farther from you We fell in love on a tropical beach, but London suits me fine. If nothing else were to happen to me, this is where I’d want to lose my mind… Where I’d want to lose my mind. It is not for the country it is not for the queen, I’ve just got to get back to the heart of the scene. Those days we had were like nothing on earth, And I couldn’t even tell you what the memories are worth We fell in love on a tropical beach, but London suits me fine. If nothing else were to happen to me, this is where I’d want to lose my mind. We fell in love on a tropical beach, but London suits me fine. If nothing else were to happen to me, this is where I’d want to lose my mind. And now we are a thousand miles apart, And those days we had are all long gone. And now we are a thousand miles apart, And I want to let you know that I’m moving on. We fell in love on a tropical beach, but London suits me fine. If nothing else were to happen to me, this is where I’d want to lose my mind. We fell in love on a tropical beach, but London suits me fine. If nothing else were to happen to me, this is where I’d want to lose my mind. I’m gonna lose my mind.

Angelina 03:28
Stop, stop looking for sympathy And clouding your judgment in ecstasy When she starts selling her fantasy She’ll make the world stand still But this is such a discrepancy Last night was nothing but memories When she starts selling her fantasy She'll make all time stand still-and you paid Cause you feel so alive Cause you feel so alive, alive again But it’s all in your head Cause it’s only pretend Angelina, don’t believe her it will only bring you down Angelina, don’t believe, don’t believe a word don’t believe a sound So stop, stop looking for sympathy And clouding your judgment in ecstasy When she starts selling her fantasy She’ll make the world stand still-and you paid Cause you feel so alive Cause you feel so alive, alive again But it’s all in your head Cause it’s only pretend Angelina, don’t believe her it will only bring you down Angelina, don’t believe, don’t believe a word don’t believe a sound Angelina, don’t believe her it will only bring you down Angelina, don’t believe, don’t believe a word don’t believe a . . . Cause you feel so alive Cause you feel so alive, alive again But it’s all in your head Cause it’s only pretend Angelina . . . if you want heaven she'll take you there Angelina . . . stop, stop bringing him down, stop bringing him down Angelina . . . she'll make you feel so alive, make you feel so alive Angelina . . . if you want heaven she'll take you there Take you there

Desperate times are approaching Beatlemania’s come undone Ziggy has fled to Hamburg And Sammy has purchased his guns Blue Hawaii is over now And disco is at our front door All the kids in the streets have gone To the club out on 54th In their polyester shirts And their Travolta suits and ties They’re taking all we hold sacred And they're hanging it out to die Ring the bells, tell the people His majesty has fallen And the torch will be passing 100 punks are calling The Heads are at CBGB’s In the UK it’s Strummer and Jones Then there is Mr. Rotten out With a few dozen of his punk clones Blue Hawaii is over now And disco is at our front door All the kids in the streets are gone And they’re dancing at ‘54 And on a Memphis summer Crying ‘God save the King’ In mourning the death of rock n ‘roll A thousand of them all sing Ring the bells, tell the people His majesty has fallen And the torch will be passing 100 punks are calling He’s fallen down, he’s fallen down His majesty has fallen He’s fallen down, he’s fallen down Off the Graceland throne But they’re crying out, they’re crying out ‘God Save the King’ They’re crying out, they’re crying out ‘God Save the King’ They’re crying out, they’re crying out ‘God Save the King’ They’re crying out, they’re crying out ‘Go kill the disco Queen’ Yeah Oh they’re crying out, they’re crying out ‘God Save the King’ They’re crying out, they’re crying out ‘God Save the King’
