Other Godflesh Lyrics
[Cover song lyrics vary from their original versions]
40 Versions
[originally by Wire]

I never know which version I'm going to be
I seem to have so many choices open to me

It's not hard to see another unique event
When you miss the beginning and you miss the end

I've got forty versions all dying to get the part
And so with a change of mind comes a change of heart

A total eclipse arrives now and Niagra falls
No loss of life yet and no further calls

I never know which version I'm going to be
I get the feeling my mind is deceiving me

In between are
Where only edges can be seen of the spaces

For Those About To Rock
[originally by AC/DC]

Stand up and be counted
For what you are about to receive
We are the dealers
We'll give you everything you need
All hail to the good times
'Cause rock has got the right of way
Gonna let you go tomorrow
We're living for today

Chorus:
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you

We rock at dawn, like a hurricane
Like a bolt right out of the blue
The sky's alight with the guitar _pain/bite_
??? will roll down, roll down on you
We rock at dawn, like a bolt right out of the blue

Chorus: X2

A battery for hire, with a guitar fire
Aimed at you old friend (???)
Pick up your guns, a twenty one

Chorus: X4 (fade)

Love is a Dog from Hell

Waste away, heart _slave/slain_
Edge of Despair, Head fucked forever

The _master_ of deception, Rotten soul (X2)

Repeat 1st verse

Edge of Despair (X3)
Rotten Soul (X2)
Dog from hell

Repeat 1st verse 2X

Zero the Hero
[originally by Black Sabbath]

Accept your fate that you're second rate
Sit there and watch it all burn down
Turn your head to the TV channel
But someone else's hand's on the control panel

What you gonna be, what you gonna see
Zero the Hero
What you gonna be, who you gonna be (see?)
Zero the Hero

Your life is a six lane highway to nowhere
The ball is in your hands and your heads full of nothing
_Nothing's/Life is_ easy for you
I don't even have to talk to you

Repeat Chorus

Repeat 1st Verse
Repeat Chorus

Requiem
[originally by Killing Joke]
Man watching video
The bomb keeps on ticking
He doesn't know why
He's just cattle for slaughter
The requiem

When the meaningful words
When they cease to function
When there's nothing to say
When will they start plotting against you
The requiem

Only a hint of religion
Uncensors to its false depravity
The sound of breaking glass
This is a reflection
The requiem
If I Could Only Be what You Want

Why can't I be what you want
Why can't I feel what you want
Though I give you what you want
If only I could be what you want

But I hold you like you want, you want
Though I hold you like you want, you want
I can never be what you want, you want
I can never be what you want, you want

I can never be what you want, you want
Why can't I be what you want, you want
What if I give you what you want, you want
Then I hold you like you want, you want

I can't give you

I can't be
