Torna/Hello Hell/Zombie Rock

Only the better sort of people get to go to hell
You’ll find our residence requirements quite restrictive overall
Our great activity is exclusivity
It is quite insufficient me-early to lie or cheat or steal
Oh hell is only for the people who can feel
Our entertainments are quite edifying here in hell
Witness those lovers gaily tossed upon the whirlwind to and fro
You see they know their crime justifies all the time
That we require to be convinced that we should break the seventh seal
Oh hell is only for the people who can feel
You see this naked calculation isn’t quite the thing
We’re more impressed by your capacity for suffering
Do you feel pity for the loved one you have wronged
Do you regret a simple pleasure when it’s gone gone gone
The feasts of hell will tantalize even the most jaded of tastes
Perfection just out of one’s reach will stimulate the palate fine
With sounds euphonious so pandemonious
The songs of hellish joy and pain accompany each lavish meal
Oh hell &c.
You see this naked &c.
So you must ask yourself did Mom and Papa raise you right
And is your breeding really adequate for these infernal rolls
Do you feel guilt rush in for every little sin
Do you feel infinite remorse for children crushed beneath your heel
Oh hell is only for the people who can feel

Dire predictions from the days of old
Prophesying the death of Rock and Roll
They’re telling all the boys and girls to try to act their age
Who’re coming out around the world
Rising from their graves
Zombie rock zombie rock zombie rock
See the flesh dripping off a their bones
Rock and roll has up and died
We ain’t got God on our side
Rock is dead let’s do the zombie rock
Mama papa told me in 1956
To turn down that radio and it was going to make me sick
Beer and sex and cigarettes
Conspire to make me die
But Suzie Pony-tail never forgets
She wanna hear the Wolfman cry
Zombie rock &c.
Someone come and put a hole in our heads
Let the air in and out of our heads
We got world famous collapsible heads
We got shrunken heads
You know they buried Rock and Roll in a television box
They drove a stake through those blue suede shoes
And through the bobby sox
Cut the heads off all the boys and girls
Who wouldn’t to act their age
There’s nothing left to live for in this world
When calypso’s all the rage
Zombie rock &c.
Please don’t make me go back up in there

Remember Me

The candle flickers I’ve tried to watch it ‘til the dawn
Not going to make it the candle fire is almost gone
I know I lit it just just too early in the day
Miscalculating how fast candles burn away
Will you remember me when my face you longer see
Will you remember me when there is nothing left of me
And when I finally hang up my guitar on a weeping willow tree
Pray you tell me will you still remember me
The party’s over the fight is fought the race is run
I’ve turned the corner I have surrendered I have succumbed
I’ve lost everything but what I truly need
But now I know that those I love I love indeed
Will you remember me when my voice you no more hear
Will you remember me when you have shed your one last tear
And when I finally hang &c.
Remember me
Will you remember me will you still remember me
And when I finally hang &c.

Not Even

Is it more precious than gold not even
Is it more precious than seeds not even not even not even
What have you done with your precious one
None under your lock and key
How do you judge you care too much
You believe but you cannot see
Don’t you want to give it to me not even not even not even
