Hard Time Walking Blues
02:32

Out the door I couldn’t take it no longer
I wanted love, she just gave me the blues
And now I start to stagger the streets just dragging my boots, yeah
I can’t sleep at night I’m so restless
I ask the radio to tell me the news
How long must I travel these hard time walking blues
Hard time
Hard time
Walking Blues
I’m so broke down I can’t get any lower
I walk the streets with these holes in my shoes
What's left for you to take, when I got nothing to loose
Oh well well well
So I kick and scream and I holler
I walk a path no sane man would choose
And I don’t see an end to these hard time walking blues
Hard time
Hard time
Walking Blues
Hard time
Hard time
Walking Blues

I've been driving all night baby
Just to get to you my lady
It's a long way to you but I'll
Drive all night for Peggy Sue
Going down the road less traveled
This womans' got me rattled
It's a long way to you but I'll
Drive all night for Peggy Sue
Such a long way to you but I'll
Drive all night for Peggy Sue

Bat Outta Hell

He had a mean six shooter short temper like you’ve never known
Rebel gang member vendetta sent to take you out
Secondhand dead man dagger cut to the bone
Old black chopper hot rodder with the hammer down
Like a Bat Outta Hell
Herbicide black helicopter come to cut you down
Midnight strangers teenagers do your country proud
Vietnam god dam solders tunnel underground
One eye open cut throatin’ creepers on the prowl
Like a Bat Outta Hell
Bona fide killer state prisoner locked n’ shackle bound
Death row sinner lock picker moves without a sound
Mud map heart attack storm the penitentiary walls
Blood hound boarder town tracker sent to track you down
Like a Bat Outta Hell

Heard It's True
03:06

I heard it's true
He tore your heart out baby blue
So cruel and callus, you had no doubt
He was the one and now you're left without
With no one to hold you late at night
And you can't stop from crying
I feel your pain
Same thing happened to me just the other day
She left me cold in the heat of the night
I searched far and wide to keep the flame alight
Found her in the arms of another man
My heart burst out my chest
Oh and oh no, I can go on anymore
I can't stop from crying
I can't stop from crying
I can't stop from crying
I can't stop from crying

Night Into Day
02:23

Oh by the light of the moon
I slept for a thousand years
And not a moment too soon
My heart began to beat
And blood started to run
My eyes welled up with tears
I'm blinded by the sun
And struck down by burning flames
Night into day
Now I'll never be the same
Night into day
And now I'll never be the same
With one hand
One hand on my heart
She put a stop to this yearning pain
And I was over come
And now I will never be the same
Night into day
Now I'll never be the same
Night into day
And now I'll never be the same

Slave
02:36
|
|||
|
Heavy load
Tryin' to bring me down
Like the devil
With her pure evil
Baby god damn
I'm a slave to you
Digging my resting place
Six feet deep in dirt
If we don't break these chains
That'd be all I'm worth
Baby god damn
I'm a slave to you
Baby god damn
I'm a slave to you

Sixty Three

Breaking my back
For five days a week
And I was, treated like a slave
Till five o'clock sets me free
That's when I go rollin'
Run on gasoline
I go rollin' in my...
That girl
Yeah she's so mean
When she, drives me crazy I just
Turn that key
And go rollin'
Run on gasoline
I go rollin'
Oh yeah in my Sixty Three
Rollin'
Run on gasoline
I go rollin'
Oh yeah in my Sixty Three
With the windows down
Rubber to the ground
All night long
To that straight eight sound

The Blackwater Fever Brisbane, Australia
The Blackwater Fever return with a mighty fourth album, ‘Delusions’.
Taking their
dark, distinctive sound and injecting it with ’90s grunge, ’50s slow dance, moments of prog rock, punk, soul and an ’80s New Order-inspired track, ‘Delusions’ sees the Brisbane trio sounding more adventurous, eclectic and surprisingly succinct than ever before.
