From the Albums:
2
* Paradise in distress
3
* Last blast of the century
4
He was young when I first saw
5
him
6
(maybe) 19 or so
7
And I knew he would go places
8
Heâ"š¬â"ž¢d never dreamt heâ"š¬â"ž¢d go
9
There was a certain something
10
Impossible to hide
11
Dynamite in both his hands
12
It swept â"š¬í‹Å“em all aside
13
So they nicknamed hem the killer
14
And he lived up to the name
15
The guys that tried to fight him
16
Never came out quite the same
17
And man, the crowd just loved him
18
In those up and coming days
19
Carried him on their shoulders
20
While they showered him with
21
praise
22
Well, they loved him like a brother
23
Cause he gave â"š¬í‹Å“em all the thrills
24
Carinâ"š¬â"ž¢ shit about no sef-defense
25
Only going for the kill
26
He took a beating now and then
27
But stood there young and tough
28
Never thought of backinâ"š¬â"ž¢ up
29
When the going got too rough
30
He came down like a shockwave
31
The title easily won
32
He just tore in there man, punching
33
Taking two and landing one
34
But that avalanche of punches
35
Eventually took itâ"š¬â"ž¢s toll
36
Like a constant drip of water
37
Wears down the hardest stone
38
And we all saw it cominâ"š¬â"ž¢
39
The inevitable fall
40
The night he lost his title
41
And the title wasnâ"š¬â"ž¢t all
42
He just started slippinâ"š¬â"ž¢
43
Down skids slicker than grease
44
His drawing power faded
45
And the hero-worship ceased
46
But he couldnâ"š¬â"ž¢t stop the fighting
47
Custom-made for the trade
48
While he blew away the money
49
On friends succes had made
50
I saw him fight again last night
51
I wish I had been spared
52
The sight of that poor old wreck
53
For whom nobody no longer cared
54
His eyes had lost their sparkle
55
His legs hado lost their spring
56
And it really was pathetic
57
The way he stumbled through the ring
58
While an upstart punched him dizzy
59
Punched him silly bell to bell
60
The lust mad hungry wolfpack
61
Rode him to a far-ye-well
62
Hereâ"š¬â"ž¢s the same punks
63
Who once worshipped
64
His shrine when he was king
65
Callinâ"š¬â"ž¢ him a coward
66
And he was groping â"š¬í‹Å“round the ring
67
But he didnâ"š¬â"ž¢t seem to notice
68
I thought heâ"š¬â"ž¢ll fight until heâ"š¬â"ž¢s dead
69
Heâ"š¬â"ž¢ll stay in there and take it
70
And keep the wolf-pack fed
71
He gave â"š¬í‹Å“em his youth and all his power
72
Now they were tearinâ"š¬â"ž¢ him apart
73
My eyes grew dim and misty with tears
74
For that brave and gallant heart
75
Man if only I could have my way
76
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢d know exactly what to do
77
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢d pitch â"š¬í‹Å“em right in there with him
78
One by one and two by two
79
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢d see him bash their empty heads
80
Egg-like broken shells
81
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢d jump up on my chair and yell
82
For blood while down they fell
83
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢d see â"š¬í‹Å“em beg for mercy
84
Groaning in the night
85
Whatâ"š¬â"ž¢s wrong, you guys canâ"š¬â"ž¢t you take it?
86
Come on you scum and fight!
