SLAVE TO THE HOURGLASS Punch that clock everyday Workin 5 to 5 There’s no American Dream I should be glad just to be alive The pressure’s buildin’ up The walls are closin in But still I’m forced to play This losers game that I can’t win Slave to the Hourglass I just might lose my mind I’m a Slave to the Hourglass Just tow the bossman’s line My life’s a whirling, sucking Eddy of despair The only funny thing Is that I just don’t care When I was young I said This won’t happen to me But now all that I have Is sleep to set me free

Well I woke up this morning, my head too full to think Hauled my ass up out of bed and made myself a drink I barely remember very much of anything we said The last thing I remember was wishin you were dead That you were dead I know it’s been a week or 2, but I lost track of time If this keeps up much longer girl, I’ll surely loose my mind I’m not sure I understand just why you went away But I think I’ll have another drink and just take it day by day Take it day by day No-Should feel better No-Should feel fine I-gotta get myself together Cause you’re no longer Mine, Mine, Mine I’m cruisin down the boulevard to find some company Someone who will get me over what you’ve done to me I just need to find a girl that makes me feel alright But then again with the state I’m in I’ll be drivin round all night Round all night Now I don’t think I’ll ever find another girl like you But that’s no consolation for the hell you’ve put me thru I love the way you move I like your lips so cherry red Come back round here I’ll put a bullet in your head Right in your head

Hard Life 03:25
Judy was a lover, hiding undercover Every night she walked the streets sellin off her soul Dressed in lace & leather, always so together No one realizing she was losing her control Morning finds her smokin, drinkin-anything to keep from thinkin Dreams of what she could’ve been are screamin in her head Late night parties dancin, shakin-you can tell the toll they’re takin Every day’s another pill just to get you outta bed It’s a hard, hard life Livin night to night It’s a long long way To a happy every after from a lonely yesterday It’s a Hard, Hard Life Judy was a loner, no one really knows her No one said a single word the day she past away Just another hooker, probably was a looker Doesn’t mean a fuckin thing it happens everyday In the streets they’re dyin, screamin-makes it hard to keep on dreamin I hear you’re lucky if you make it thru the night With dirty cops and politicians, feedin you the crap they’re dishin’ It’s hard to tell what is wrong and what is right Round and round a vicious circle, midnight black and deeper purple People killin people for a little piece of space On and on they keep on comin, thru the streets they keep on runnin Here comes another girl-she’s takin Judy’s place
4.
One look at you and she knows Where it stands and where it goes She’ll never stop take it to the top Cause she wants the money There’s a lady we all know She does her thing in a dirty video A porno star-The Queen of Pleasure She does the same thing every night She doesn’t care if it’s wrong or it’s right You’ll never stop-The Queen of Pleasure A porno star-The Queen of Pleasure Gang bang and you’re dead She’ll play the part-full screen spread She’ll never fall-gonna give it her all Cause she wants the money One look at her it make you hot Pubic hairs X marks the spot Don’t be a fool it’s a sexual school And she’s gonna teach ya
5.
Too Late 04:24
If I seem to be lost in re-monition Don’t you worry I’m not goin’ anywhere If I seem to have my reservations Well I want so much to show you that I care I’ve been burned one too many times and time enough again But I want to be with you when you tell me that I can You can keep your consolations, I’m really somethin’ more I won’t make the same mistakes that I made 3 months before Take it or leave it Do whatcha gotta do But you better believe it cause it’s too far gone it’s true baby Too Late-much too late, much too late for love Too Late-much too late, much too late to love me You’re all caught up in masturbation But you don’t know a thing about what’s real So babe all you want is recreation This heart takes a long long time to heal You’ve got stars in your eyes, and a pocket full of dreams But I’m tellin you baby, it sure ain’t what it seems I don’t mean to be heartless, I don’t mean to be cruel But I won’t throw my life away cause I ain’t nobody’s fool

about

“…from the opener Slave To The Hourglass, there was a pop up in my head that directed me to Kiss their Paul Stanley. Not only the voice of Wayne is resembling, also the intonation, and the way he brings it on, refers to Kiss their front man. Musical wise, we hear great, solid but Melodic Hard Rock that will please a lot of fans that are into the old school 80’s hair metal…”-Patrick de Sloover -Metal to Infinity (Belgium)

REVIEW BITS

1)-“…this is cool in your face 80s Melodic Hardrock with strong vocals… A definite must-have for fans of 80s Hair Metal! …”-Strutter’Zine (The Neatherlands)

2)-“…These five tracks are no frill, heavy rock anthems that melt the attitude of early Mötley Crüe with the party / arena rock catchiness and fun of KISS. Some of the heavy riffing (such as can be found in The Queen of Pleasure) and blazing solos remind me of Motörhead as well….”

“…Vocalist Wayne Johnson sounds very similar to Paul Stanley…his delivery is a perfect fit for this style of classic heavy rock music. The man does not fail to deliver as he sounds very motivated and into his music…”-MetalReviews.com

3)-“…guitarist Wayne W. Johnson is a promotions animal…a voice that has an uncanny resemblance to that of Paul Stanley of KISS…and he ain’t half bad on the six-string either!…”-Tracy L.-Glam-Metal.com

4)-“…The songs are all equipped with compelling hooks and will not disappoint even after several passes. This type of music is just as timelessly as those of the idols of their makers…”-Walter Scheurer -PowerMetal.de (Germany)

5)-“…excellent hard rockin’ 80s heavy metal…A composition-style that I’m familiar with and enjoy a lot, used to create some excellently catchy and addictive rock / metal songs…”-Muloc7253-Encyclopaedia Metallius (United Kingdom)
