Fuel

Gimme fuel
Gimme fire

Turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline

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 tears 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
Nananananana nananada nananananana
nanananadana
Nananananana nananada nananananana nanananadana
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
The memories remain
Yeah
To this faded prima donna
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dance little tin goddess dance
Nananananana nananada nanananana
nanananadana
Nananananana nananada nanananana nanananadana

The Unforgiven II
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
Lay beside me
Tell me what they've done
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
The 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
[chorus:]
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
Yeah
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?
[end chorus]
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
[chorus]
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?
Yeah
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
And I bury it 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 homes 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)
Oh Better than you (better than you)
Oh, can't stop this train from rollin'
Oh, yo, nothing brings me down
No, can't stop this train from rollin' on and on, on
No, no, forever on and on
Oh, can't stop this train from rollin'
Oh, yo, you can't take it down
No, never stop this locomotion on and on and on
No, no, you can't bring me down 'cause I'm
Better than you (better than you)
Better than you (better than you)
Oh better than you (better than you)
Better than you (better than you)
Much better than you
Better than you (better than you)
Oh better than you (better than you)
Better than you (better than you)
Better than
Better than
Better than
Better than you
Yeah
Can't stop this train from rollin'
Forever on and on and on and on and
on
Forever on and on and on
Better than you
Yeah
Haha
Better than you

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
Shop lift 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 stain 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 too
Believing 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 stain 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, a trumpet's sound
Toy horses start the charge
Robots, chessmen standing guard
We shall never surrender
All you children touch the sun
Burn your fingers one by one
Will this earth be good to you?
Keep you clean or stain 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
Off to war
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 it cry
There's a dirty needle in your child
Haha, stick me
Empty bottles still in hand, still dead
Still me
I'm the suit and tie that breaks 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 wanna see
Hey ma
Hey ma, look it's me
Yeah
He wants to become father now
Me again, me
The marks inside your arms
still leaves me alone to me
I'm the 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 wanna see
Hey ma
Hey ma, look it's me
It's me
Look up to me
What you've been and what you've feared
Look up to me
Look it's me, 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
Hey, hey, hey
Hm, now see the black cloud overhead
That's me
Hm, 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 it 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
When no one wants to see
See what you brought this world
Just what you wanna see
Hey ma
Hey ma, look it's me
Yeah
It's me
Hey ma

See right though me
Look up to me

Look up to 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
[chorus:]
The trash fire is warm
But nowhere safe from the storm
And I can't bear 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
My eyes seek reality
My fingers feel for faith
Touch clean with a dirty hand
I touched the clean to the waste
[chorus]
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
[chorus]
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
My eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
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
Oh, I hunger
I hunger
I eat
[chorus:]
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 satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction's here and gone
Gone, yeah, and gone again
Oh, I hunger
Oh, I hunger
I eat
Born into attitude
Asleep at the wheel
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And stand there
[chorus]
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 satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction's here and gone
Gone, gone again
Yeah, I hunger
Oh, I hunger
I eat
Born into attitude
Asleep at the wheel
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And stand there
[chorus]
Fixxxer
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
Yeah
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 merely 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
Yeah
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 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
Jab it
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 this 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
Oh yeah
No more pins in me, yeah
No more, no more pins in me
No more, no more pins in me
No more, no more, no more
No, no, no
