Fuel
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)
Give me Fuel,
Give me Fire,
Give me that which I desire, 
Ooh!

Turn on...I see red
Adrenaline crash and crack my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red

A hundred-plus through black and white
War horse, warhead,
Fuck 'em man,
White knuckles tight
Through black and white

   Ohhh, and I burn,
   Fuel is pumping engines,
   Burning hard, loose and clean 

   And I burn,
   Churning my direction,
   Quench my thirst with gasoline

      So give me Fuel,
      Give me fire,
      Give me that which I desire, 

      Hey

Turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future, spit out home,
Burn your face upon the chrome
Yeah!

Take the corner, going to crash,
Headlights, headlines,
Another junkie who lived too fast
Yeah lives way too fast, fast, fast, oh-ah

    Ohh, and I burn,
    Fuel is pumping engines,
    Burning hard, loose and clean 

    And I burn,
    Churning my direction,
    Quench my thirst with gasoline

        So Give me Fuel,
        Give me fire,
        Give me that which I desire, 

        Yeah-Heah

    Give me Fuel...
    Give me fire...
    My desire...

    Ohh, and I burn,
    Fuel is pumping engines,
    Burning hard, loose and clean 

    And I burn,
    Churning my direction,
    Quench my thirst with gasoline

        Gimme Fuel,
        Gimme fire,
        Gimme that which I desire, 
        Ohh

On I Burn! 


The Memory Remains
(Hetfield, Ulrich)
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains

Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd
Cry the nowhere cheers of honor

Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
And dim the light of an already
Faded prima donna

    Fortune, fame
    Mirror vain
    Gone insane...
    Fortune, fame
    Mirror vain
    Gone insane...
    But the memory remains

Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets
Behind your back

And can't the band play on?
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black 

    Fortune, fame
    Mirror vain
    Gone insane...
    Fortune, fame
    Mirror vain
    Gone insane...
    Dance little tin goddess
    Drift away
    Fade away
    Little tin goddess
    Ash to ash
    Dust to dust
    Fade to black

    Fortune, fame
    Mirror vain
    Gone insane...
    Fortune, fame
    Mirror vain
    Gone insane...
    But the memory remains

Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black...
But the memory remains

Dance little tin goddess dance


Devil's Dance
(Hetfield, Ulrich)
Yeah

Feel, those things you do
In your eyes I see a fire that burns to free the you

Tempting, that bite you take

    That's right
    Let's dance

    Ha ha!


The Unforgiven II
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)
Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
And speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me, then I can understand the you 

Lay beside me, under wicked sky
Through black of day, dark of night, we share this  paralyze
The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through 
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining...

    What I've felt, what I've known
    Turn the pages, turn the stone
    Behind the door, should I open it for you...
    
    What I've felt, what I've known
    Sick and tired, I stand alone
    Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
    Or are you unforgiven too?

Come lay beside me, this won't hurt I swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
She lay beside me, but she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still, yes she'll be there when I'm gone  
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone  
Dead sure she'll be there... 

    What I've felt, what I've known
    Turn the pages, turn the stone
    Behind the door, should I open it for you...
    
    What I've felt, what I've known
    Sick and tired, I stand alone
    Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
    Or are you unforgiven too?

Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
Yes now I see it

    What I've felt, what I've known
    Turn the pages, turn the stone
    Behind the door, should I open it for you...
    
    What I've felt, what I've known
    So sick and tired, I stand alone
    Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits,
    The one who waits for you...

    Oh what I've felt, what I've known
    Turn the pages, turn the stone
    Behind the door, should I open it for you... (So I dub thee unforgiven...)

    Oh, what I've felt...
    Oh, what I've known...

    I take this key (never free...)
    And I bury it (never me...) in you
    Because you're unforgiven too...

    (Never free...)
    (Never me...)
    'Cause you're unforgiven too...
    Oh


Better Than You
(Hetfield, Ulrich)
I look at you, then you me
Hungry and thirsty I wait
Holding the lion's share
Holding the key
Holding me back 'cause I'm striving to be

        Better than you
        (Better than you)
        Better than you
        (Better than you)

Lock horns I push and I strive
Somehow I feel more alive
Bury the need for it
Bury the seed
Bury me deep when there's no will to be

        Better than you
        (Better than you)
        Better than you
        (Better than you)

    Oh, can't stop this train from rollin'
    Oh, no, nothing brings me down
    No, I can't stop this train from rollin', no, no, no, no, no,
    No, no, forever on and on

    Oh, can't stop this train from rollin'
    Oh, you, you can't take it down
    No, never stop this locomotion, no, no, no, no, no, no,
    No, you can't bring it down 'cause I'm

        Better Than You
        (Better Than You)
        Better Than You
        (Better Than You)
        Better Than You
        (Better Than You)
        Better Than You
        (Better Than You)
        Much Better Than You

        Better Than You
        (Better Than You)
        Better Than You
        (Better Than You)
        Better Than You
        (Better Than You)
        Better Than
        Better Than
        Better Than
        Better Than You

        Can't stop this train from rollin'

        Forever and on and on and on
        Forever and on and on and on

        Better Than You
        Yeah
        Better Than You


Slither
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)
Don't go looking for snakes you might find them
Don't send your eyes to the sun you might blind them

Where The Wild Things Are
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Newsted)
So wake up sleepy one
It's time to save your world

Steal dreams and give to you
Shoplift a thought or two
All children touch the sun
Burn fingers one by one
By one...

    Will this earth be good to you?
    Keep you clean or stained through?

        So wake up sleepy one
        It's time to save your world
        You're where the wild things are
        Yeah, toy soldiers off to war

Big eyes to open to
Beating now under sun and moon
But does heaven know you're here?
And did they give you smiles or tears?
No, no tears

    Will this earth be good to you?
    Keep you clean or stained through?

        So wake up sleepy one
        It's time to save your world
        You're where the wild things are
        Yeah, toy soldiers off to war

You swing your ass all down
Call to arms are drawn it sounds
Toy horses start the charge
Robots, chessmen standing guard
We should never surrender!

        All children touch the sun
        Burn your fingers one by one
        Will this earth be good to you?
        Keep you clean or stained through?

        It's time to save your world

        Off to war

So close your little eyes...


Prince Charming
(Hetfield, Ulrich)
There's a black cloud overhead, that's me 
And the poison ivy chokes the tree, again it's me 
I'm the filthy one on Bourbon Street, you walk on by 
I'm the little boy that pushes hard and makes him cry 

There's a dirty needle in your child, ha ha, stick me! 
Empty bottles still in hand still dead, still me
I'm the suit and tie that bleeds the street and still wants more 
I'm the .45 that's in your mouth 
I'm a dirty, dirty whore 

    Yeah look it's me 
    The one who can't be free 
    Much too young to focus, but too old to see 
    Hey look it's me 
    When no-one wants to see 
    See what you brought this world 
    Just what you want you want to see 
    Hey ma, hey ma look it's me 

Yeah, and he wants to be called father now, me again me 
The marks inside your arms still me still only me
I'm a nothing face that plants a bomb and strolls away 
I'm the one who doesn't look quite right as children play

    Yeah look it's me 
    The one who can't be free 
    Much too young to focus, but too old to see 
    Hey look it's me 
    When no-one wants to see 
    See what you brought this world 
    Just what you want you want to see 
    Hey ma, hey ma look it's me 

Look up to me 
What you've been and what you've feared 
Look up to me 
Look it's me, at what you hear 
See right through me 
See the one who can't be free 
See right through me 
Look it's me when no-one wants to see 

Hmmm, now see the black cloud up ahead (that's me) 
In this poison ivy chokes the tree, again it's me 
And I'm the filthy one on Bourbon Street, you walk on by 
And I'm the little boy that pushes, pushes, makes him cry 

    Yeah look it's me 
    The one who can't be free 
    Much too young to focus but too old to see 
    Hey, hey look it's me

    Just what you want you want to see 
    Hey ma, hey ma, look it's me 
    Hey ma, hey ma, look it's me


Low Man's Lyric
(Hetfield, Ulrich)
My eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins 
There's a dog at your back step
He must come in from the rain 
I fall 'cause I let go
The net below has rot away 
So my eyes seek reality 
And my fingers seek my veins 

        The trash fire is warm
        But nowhere safe from the storm
        And I can't bare to see
        What I've let me be
        So wicked and worn

        So as I write to you
        What is done and to do
        Maybe you'll understand 
        And won't cry for this man 
        'Cause low man is due
        Please forgive me 

    My eyes seek reality 
    My fingers feel for flame
    Touch clean with a dirty hand 
    I touched the clean to the waste

        The trash fire is warm
        But nowhere safe from the storm
        And I can't bare to see
        What I've let me be
        So wicked and worn

        So as I write to you
        What is done and to do
        Maybe you'll understand 
        And won't cry for this man 
        'Cause low man is due
        Please forgive me 
        Please forgive me 
        Please forgive me 

So low the sky is all I see
All I want from you is, forgive me
So you bring this poor dog in from the rain 
Though he just wants right back out again 

    And I cry to the alleyway 
    Confess all to the rain 
    But I lie, lie straight to the mirror 
    The one I've broken to match my face 

        The trash fire is warm
        But nowhere safe from the storm
        And I can't bare to see
        What I've let me be
        So wicked and worn

        So as I write to you
        Of what is done and to do
        Maybe you'll understand 
        And won't cry for this man 
        'Cause low man is due
        Please forgive me 

        Please forgive me 

So low the sky is all I see
All I want from you is to forgive me
So you bring this poor dog in from the rain 
Though he just wants right back out again

    My eyes seek reality 
    My fingers seek my veins


Attitude
(Hetfield, Ulrich)
Suppose I say...
  I'm never satisfied
Suppose I say...
  You cut some root
  To make the tree survive

Just let me kill you for a while
Just let me kill you for a smile
Just let me kill you once
I'm oh so bored to death

    I hunger
    I hunger
    I eat

        Born into Attitude
        Asleep at the wheel
        Throw all your bullets in the fire
        And run like hell
        Why cure the fever?
        What ever happened to sweat?

Suppose I say...
  The vultures smile at me
Suppose I say...
  I set them down 
  They plan to pick you clean

And satifaction this way comes
And satifaction this way comes
And satifaction's here and gone
Gone, yeah gone again

    I hunger
    I hunger
    I eat

        Born into Attitude
        Asleep at the wheel
        Throw all your bullets in the fire
        And stand there

        Born into Attitude
        Twist mother tongue
        Throw all your bullets in the fire
        And run like hell
        Why cure the fever?
        What ever happened to sweat?

Just let me kill you for a while
Just let me kill you for a smile
Just let me kill you once for me
I'm bored to death

And satifaction this way comes
And satifaction this way comes
And satifaction's here and gone
Gone, gone again

    I hunger
    I hunger
    I eat

        Born into Attitude
        Asleep at the wheel
        Throw all your bullets in the fire
        And stand there

        Born into Attitude
        Twist mother tongue
        Throwing all your bullets in the fire
        And run like hell
        Why cure the fever?
        What ever happened to sweat?


Fixxxer
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)
Dolls of voodoo all stuck with pins
One for each of us and our sins
So you lay us in a line
Push your pins they make us humble
Only you can tell in time
If we fall or mearly stumble

    But tell me
    Can you heal what father's done?
    Or fix this hole in a mother's son?
    Can you heal the broken worlds within?
    Can you strip away so we may start again?
    Tell me can you heal what father's done?
    Or cut this rope and let us run?
    Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free
    You jab another pin
    Jab another pin in me

Mirror, mirror upon the wall
Break the spell or become the doll
See you sharpening the pins
So the holes will remind us
We're just the toys in the hands of another
And in time the needles turn from shine to rust

    But tell me
    Can you heal what father's done?
    Or fix the hole in a mother's son?
    Can you heal the broken worlds within?
    Can you strip away so we may start again?
    Tell me can you heal what father's done?
    Or cut this rope and let us run?
    Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free
    You jab another pin
    Jab another pin in me

Blood for face
Sweat for dirt
Three x's for the stone
To break this curse
A ritual's due
I believe I'm not alone
Shell of shotgun
Pint of gin
Numb us up to shield the pins
Renew our faith which way we can
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love
To fall in love
To fall in love with life again 

    So tell me
    Can you heal what father's done?
    Or fix the hole in a mother's son?
    Can you heal the broken worlds within?
    Can you strip away so we may start again?
    Yeah, tell me can you heal what father's done?
    Or cut this rope and let us run?
    Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free
    You jab another pin
    Jab another pin in me

    No more pins in me
    No more, no more pins in me
    No more, no more pins in me
    No more, no more, no more
    No, no, no
