------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Teenage Frankenstein (Cooper, Roberts) 3:37 I'm the kid on the block With my head made of rock And I ain't got nobody I'm the state of the art Got a brain a la carte I make the babies cry I ain't one of the crowd I ain't one of the guys They just avoid me They run and they hide Are my colours too bright Are my eyes set too wide I spend my whole life Burning, turning I'm a teenage Frankenstein The local freak with the twisted mind I'm a teenage Frankenstein These ain't my hands And these legs ain't mine Got a synthetic face Got some scars and a brace My hands are rough and bloody I walk into the night Women faint at the sight I ain't no cutie-pie I can't walk in the day I must walk in the night Stay in the shadows Stay out of the light Are my shoulders too wide Is my head screwed on tight I spend my whole life Burning, turning I'm a teenage Frankenstein The local freak with the twisted mind I'm a teenage Frankenstein These ain't my hands And these legs ain't mine ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2) Give It Up (Cooper, Roberts) 4:10 You got your sugar You got your spice You got a kitten Now isn't that nice You just can't wait for a picnic in Spring I just get nauseous When I think of those things You wait and wait and you wait for a lifetime For a little piece of cake in the night time yeah You wait and wait you can't wait any longer You wait and wait, couldn't be any wronger no Give it up Don't let it get you down Give it up you really really blew it Give it up Turn your head around You shop around for a sensible car You hold your breath when you wish on a star You settle down in a warm little house You make some babies with your warm little spouse Ah, how nice You wait and wait and you wait for a lifetime For a little piece of cake in the night time yeah You wait and wait you can't wait any longer You wait and wait, couldn't be any wronger no Give it up Don't let it get you down Give it up you really really blew it Give it up Turn your head around Just when you got it made And all your bills are paid You stumble and fall into your grave Ah, too bad You wait and wait and you wait for a lifetime For a little piece of cake in the night time yeah You wait and wait you can't wait any longer You wait and wait, couldn't be any wronger no Give it up Don't let it get you down Give it up you really really blew it Give it up Turn your head around ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Thrill My Gorilla (Cooper, Roberts) 3:06 Sukie honey, we're gonna turn back the clock To a time when we danced to volcanic rock We loved to hunt and kill That's how we used to be We drank the blood we spilled And growled at our enemies Where were you when the monkey hit the fan Thrill my gorilla Where were you when monkey turned to man Thrill my gorilla Sukie honey, weren't you right there with me I seem to remember chasing you from tree to tree Those prehistoric nights are coming back to me We must have been the first To go down in history Where were you when the monkey hit the fan Thrill my gorilla Where were you when monkey turned to man Thrill my gorilla We lay on our skins, original sins Ah, ah, ah, ah yeah We touch, we feel We scream, we squeal Thrill my gorilla Thrill my gorilla Where were you when the monkey hit the fan Thrill my gorilla Where were you when monkey turned to man Thrill my gorilla ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Life And Death Of The Party (Cooper, Roberts) 3:43 You walk into the room, everybody stares The talking stops, there's a silence there The room is yours, you own it now You're in control and everybody down

officers are shook up babbling little clowns Looks like all your power's gone, it's sprayed upon the wall In blood and spit, it spells out your inevitable fall And all the hungry outlaws have taken up a stance Simple disobedience Yeah, all the hungry outlaws have taken up a stance Simple disobedience Now all your complex little schemes that form your master plan Are scrambled up and that is something you just don't understand A cyclone of confusion rips right through your holy troops The very thing that weakens you gives power, gives me juice And all the hungry outlaws have taken up a stance Simple disobedience Yeah, all the hungry outlaws have taken up a stance Simple disobedience Take your laser microscope and try to find an answer No antidote or drug to cure our special strain of cancer It spreads its revolution wide from cell to cell to cell Your kingdom's like your body, it dies and goes to hell And all the hungry outlaws have taken up a stance Simple disobedience Yeah, all the hungry outlaws have taken up a stance Simple disobedience ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) The World Needs Guts (Cooper, Roberts) 3:58 Hey you!
