80년대 후기에서 90년대 초기에 걸쳐 세계를 제패했던 하드록밴드 익스트림"EXTREME", 13년만에 통산 5번째 앨범이 되는 기적의 재결성 부활 앨범 발표
이번 재결성 라인업은, 밴드의 상징인 천재 누노 베텐커트(Nuno Bettencourt - G), 발군의 가창력을 지닌 제 3기 밴 헤일런(Van Halen) 출신의 보컬리스트 게리 셰론(Gary Cherone - Vo), 밴드 결성 당시부터 함께 했던 베이시스트 팻 뱃져(Pat Badger)의 오리지널 멤버 3명에 누노의 프로젝트 파퓰레이션 1(Population 1), 드라마갓스(DramaGods)에 참가하며 누노의 전폭적인 지지를 받아 온 케빈 피궤이레두(Kevin Figueiredo)가 드럼을 담당.
누노 특유의 훵키한 기타 리듬과 화려한 기타 스킬에 실린 익스트림 특유의 로큰롤 사운드, 그리고 게리의 풍부한 감정이 폭넓게 전해지는 폭발적인 가창력은 익스트림의 '전성기' 시절을 능가하고 있다.

[Chorus] And you Run, when you know there's no escape You can't hide from your mistakes Should have known it all along
Hey, spinning round, spinning round Paint the town as the world turns Hey, hit the ground running round in circles Hey, nothing new, nothing new, nothing new to discover And you still haven't found what you're looking for
[Chorus: x2]
So you run, never bothered to explain Left me here with all the blame Thought you wanted to be loved
As stories go, This one's been told Another heart broken, Left out in the cold With one variation, The difference this time, This one is mine, Since you've been gone You've stolen my heart As for the rest of me I've fallen apart In my desperation My only prayer Handle with care
Cos I don't know What to do Wasting my time, Wandering through Wondering why What's it all worth My last hour on earth My last hour
So in the end You were the one Something so right Could never be wrong Without hesitation I'll tell you the truth I'm still waiting for you
Cos I don't know What to do Wasting my time, Wandering through Wondering why What's it all worth My last hour on earth My last hour
Cos I don't know What to do Wasting my time, Wandering through Wondering why What's it all worth It's worth everything Yeah my everything is you It's worth everything Yeah my everything is you It's worth everything Yeah my everything
He speaks of meekness Being no sign of weakness Gently placing the flower in the gun Well intended pacifism a naive idealism Singing his favourite Lennon song Bleeding heart insisting preach The path of least resisting Milk and honey rolling off of his tongue War is not he answer turn the other cheek And offer sacrificing on the altar of love
Flower man Singing lets all Give peace a chance Flower man Keep your head Buried in the sand Flower man You're my enemy's Best friend Flower man You misguided utopian
Peace in appeasing Like it's always in season Never needed to weather the storm Betting on your better angels Ignoring human nature in truth Red tooth and in claw Lion and lamb lay In your land of make pretend Forgetting every soldier and son Lest you care To measure all the blood And the treasure Must be something worth Fighting for. No? Is it worth fighting for?
Flower man singing Lets all Give peace a chance Flower man Keep your head Buried in the sand Flower man You're my enemy's Best friend Flower man Liberty Is a well armed lamb
Ladies and gentlemen I give you flower man
Love is on the way Love is on the way Or so they say
He speaks of meekness Being no sign of weakness Gently placing The flower in the gun Well intended pacifism A naive idealism Singing his favourite Lennon song Bleeding heart insisting preach The path of least resisting Milk and honey rolling off Of his tongue War is not he answer Turn the other cheek And offer sacrificing On the altar of love
Flower man Singing lets all Give peace a chance Flower man Keep your head Buried in the sand Flower man You're my enemy's Best friend Flower man Liberty Is a well armed lamb
Let me introduce you to my time machine See my suped up bird spread her golden wings Going back in black through my neighbourhood My main street middle class Hollywood
Jenny's all jet-set Purple Rain cassette Looking like she was the queen of the 80's And if I knew back then what I know right now Yeah you know I'd be the king of the ladies
If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
Just an average Joe making minimum wage Burger flipping on the beach Instead of hitting the wave When the girls walk by with their copper tone tan Sucker punching the clocks, stop working for the man Well there aint no cure for the summertime blues Oh Candy, oh would you save me?
And if I knew back then what I know right now Yeah you know I'd be the king of the ladies
If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
I walked up to the dance in the High school gym This girl with drop-dead legs, I'm moving in You know must have been the DJ spinning Billy Jean I tapped Nikki on the shoulder told dance with me It's like that scene from Grease The way we bumped to the beat I had the girl give me the slip She got away from me
Coz if I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd have the pick of the ladies
If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
Tell me there's no need to be afraid They're only shadows cast, past this place Where voices carry at the speed of sound If I should cry before they lay me down
Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid Sorry being one of the words I did forget All the time we spent, wasted in the end Every precious moment taken for granted There in the corner of my mind Lies the weight of my regret Between the shadow and the light Ghost you're in my head
Shelter from the storm when I sleep There's comfort in the morn, a siren sings If only for a moment, I can breathe The thought of you comes crashing through on me
Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid Sorry being one of the words I did forget All the time we spent, wasted in the end Every precious moment taken for granted There in the corner of my mind Lies the weight of my regret Between the shadow and the light Ghost you're in my head Ghost you're in my head
Tell me there's no need to be afraid They're only shadows cast past has played Where voices carry at the speed of sound If I should die before I lay me down
I'm sorry for the way, the way I treated you A little bit too late, but if you only knew I'd take away the pain, pain I put you through I'd do it all again walking in your shoes
There in the corner of my mind Lies the weight of my regret Between the shadow and the light Ghost you're in my head Ghost you're in my head
Find your groove Then drop the hammer Overtake But don't you kick A leg out of bed Gettin' loose Don't keep it matted A rooster tail And you're never Gonna qualify Never gonna qualify Slingshot Gotta hit the apex Sneak attack Yeah You are the the man On the move Dirty air Hangin' in a vortex Can you feel the rub? It's a shootout as we
Slide it in Never gonna qualify Slide it in, no, no way
Don't become An emotional wreck Take it slow, pit row You're moving to fast They can read Your telemetry Get you in, Get you out In less than fifteen Stop Get you some slicks Nice and tight Get your fine fresh rubber Take the flag And shake the champagne All your lizards Are waiting And ready to play Ready to play
Don't just sit there and stare at me, don't just sit there and watch me bleed, I'm losing you, and you, you're losing me. I'm tired of what we are, I'm tired of all the pain, I'm losing you, and you, you're losing me. Face lies flat, I see my reflection. Download thoughts, but your files are corrupted, Don't just sit there and stare at me, don't just sit there and watch me bleed, I'm losing you, and you, you're losing me. I'm tired of what we are, I'm tired of all the pain, I'm losing you, and you, you're losing me. Time stands still, and you're frozen in motion. held down your escape, but you're crashing, you're crashing. Don't just sit there and stare at me, don't just sit there and watch me bleed, I'm losing you, and you, you're losing me. I'm tired of what we are, I'm tired of all the pain, I'm losing you, we're losing...
She don't worry about tomorrow Nothing further from her mind She don't need to beg or borrow Time is on her side She like coloring the rainbow Never paint between the lines She like to chase away the shadow Watch them run and hide
Kiss me in the morning Before I open up my eyes Would you kiss me in the morning Sunrise
See her dancing on the water Washing dreams upon the shore Heaven wanting you to call her Knocking at your door She my center of attention Nothing further from my mind Point me in the right direction Sunshine shine your light
Would you kiss me in the morning Before I open up my eyes Would you kiss me in the morning Sunrise alright
Sunrise kiss and I will follow Sunrise shine your light Sunrise filling up my hollow Sunrise sunrise Sunrise kiss and I will follow Sunrise shine your light Sunrise filling up my hollow Sunrise sunrise sunrise She helped me find my way
Heavy is the burden That brings you To your knees Lost in the confusion Of life's uncertainties Feel you're suffocating With every breath you take Moment left remaining Time for you to pray Time for you to pray
Pray for peace Pray for peace Pray for peace Pray for peace
Whirl wind She's a-turning The river's On the rise Suddenly surrounded In the middle Middle of her eye Light precedes The thunder trembles Trembles and it shakes The ground your feet Are under Time for you to pray Time for you to pray
Pray for peace Pray for peace Pray for peace Pray for peace
