Brace For Impact / Hard To Beat 04:03
lyrics
buy track
I’m a steamcrusher slamming ‘em down A jackhammer breaking the ground A wrecking ball flying around I’m a rock n roll monkey coming to town Heavy music to rattle your brain Like Quo, Sabbath, Pistols and Slade Kick it to the stars ‘til it’s outta sight C’mon everybody rock n roll all night It’s lo-fi hi-style Get down can you feel the heat? Heavy hot rockin’ is hard to beat Crank it up every day I’m a mega-sonic missile get out of my way Rock club four four We do it every night on the devil’s dancefloor Drinking ash at the bottom of the glass Stranded in the jungle on pills and trash So c’mon up on your feet There’s good music coming up from the street It’s lo-fi hi-style Get down can you feel the heat? Heavy hot rockin’ is hard to beat Heavy hot rockin’ is hard to beat Razor sharp walking tall City kids leaning on the brick wall Street smart no fool I’m a straight A student At rock n roll high school Chill out I’m with the band I wanna live like Lemmy with a Jack in my hand Stick it to the fakers squares and the stiffs I’ve got some jive generating Heavy rock n roll riffs It‘s lo-fi hi-style No shit can you feel the heat? Heavy hot rockin’ is hard to beat Heavy hot rockin’ is hard to beat Heavy hot rockin’ is hard to beat Heavy hot rockin’ is hard to beat

Midnight Train 04:00
lyrics

Watching stars and satellites I know you see them too Even though you’re only hours away It may as well be the moon Bright lights and hotels Show me something that’s real Living cheap and moving fast It’s all part of the deal I’ll be riding on the midnight train Smoking hard and sleeping late I’ve been going a hundred proof It’s a long road and I’m missing you I know that I’m not living right But I’ll give it just another night I keep saying gonna change my ways But I’ll be riding on that midnight train again Fake shakes and big smiles Feeling like you’re on sale Playing hard and moving on Yeah we’re keeping it real I’m riding on the midnight train Chasing the money and fame We got another hundred gigs to do I’m off the map and I’m missing you I know that I’m not living right But I’ll give it just another night All the days they all feel the same When you’re riding the road On the midnight train Dust in my eyes and holes in my shoe No alibis I’m missing you It’s a long road with plenty to go Get on board after the show And we’ll be rolling We keep rolling Rock n rolling Always rolling on the midnight train

Bad Day To Die 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Top toast of the town King of the clowns out to astound Lemonade taste on a champagne wage Man you make it look easy got money to waste Hot news in Jimmy Choo’s Ducking and fucking with the midnight spooks He’s going down he’s taking a dive And all the gooks are reaching for the sky They’ll hang you out to dry Build you up then go for the eyes Light you up and watch you fry It’s a bad bad day to die Don’t wanna hear what you say You’re a fool and a fake I’m so blasé I can’t stay awake when I see you around It’s not the fall it’s the hitting the ground That’s gonna get ya I bet ya some day Pretty grossly over paid You’re flying high you’re number one A bit too close to the sun They’ll hang you out to dry Build you up then go for the eyes Light you up and watch you fry It’s a bad bad day to die You’re living in paradise You won the main prize Don’t freeze in the spotlight It’s a bad bad day to die Big dog of the scene Living the dream cat with the cream You’ve got nine lives and you put it about But don’t cry when you luck runs out Full speed in the fast lane It’s a slippery slope playing in the fame game They’ll be waiting with the stinger Cos everybody hates a winner Don’t believe your hype Don’t get caught in the crossfire Don’t choke on your pie It’s a bad bad day to die

Crash 03:05
lyrics
buy track
Twilight fades and stars align To mark the start of the end of time So raise a glass to the dogs of war As rockets rain on Babylon’s whores Sunburst sulphur burns my eyes And rivers boil like jellied fire And the blind lead the blind ’Neath the blackened skies And the weeping willow don’t cry I think we’re gonna crash Everything’s turning black I think we’re gonna crash And I don’t know how we make it back We took a wrong turn on a dark road We put one more feather on a heavy load We’re going faster and we can’t stop Get ready for the big drop Two by two animals run From the creeping death And the shadow of the sun Seas will rise and empires fall And we’ll all dance at the idiots’ ball Oh mother don’t bemoan The fallen king on his broken throne Future days for none to see Weeping willow don’t cry I think we’re gonna crash Cos everything’s turning black I think we’re gonna crash And I don’t know how we make it back And I don’t think we’re gonna last

Woke Up Dead Bullet Hole Blues 03:48

Woke up this morning to find that I was dead Woke up this morning with a hole in my head Fell to the floor I was yesterday’s news Got those woke up dead bullet hole blues Went to the doctor said “what can you do?” He said “there’s just one cure for the bullet hole blues” He put a pistol up to my head He said “take two of these” And he gave me some lead Can’t seem to shake ‘em however I try Can’t get ‘em gone with a Colt 45 Twelve bore gauge or a Gatling gun Still I wake up dead and it ain’t no fun Told my babe I’ve got the devil inside She said “honey try suicide” I took a shot to the block From an Austrian Glok But these motherfuckin’ Bullet hole blues won’t stop Can’t seem to shake ‘em however I try Can’t get ‘em gone with a Colt 45 Twelve bore gauge or a Gatling gun Still I wake up dead and it ain’t no fun I got those blues again Went to my shrink said “I’m cracking apart” He said “this one’s for free ain’t no charge” Two pops to the back of the brain Still I woke up dead the very next day Yeah I woke up dead with those blues again Can’t seem to shake ‘em however I try Can’t get ‘em gone with a Colt 45 Twelve bore gauge or a Gatling gun Still I wake up dead and it ain’t no fun I got those blues again Just can’t shake those bullet hole blues Those woke up dead bullet hole blues

I hear war drums I feel rain Rolling thunder coming round again Smoke and lightning on the rise Dressed in white and bringing fire You got to stand up shout out Let ‘em know that we won’t take it Get up and don’t stop Show ‘em that you really mean it In the street crosses burning There’s jack boots on the neck So don’t fake it don’t take it This just could be your last breath I hear war drums Stand up I feel rain Shout out Rolling thunder Let ‘em know you really feel it Smoke and lightning Get up Rising flames Don’t stop Show ‘em that you really mean it Stand up shout out Let ‘em know that we won’t take Get up don’t stop It’s time to show ‘em that you really mean it Stand up come on Show ‘em that you mean it mean it You really mean it Come on and scream it Do really feel it?

I’m broken down and busted Feeling like a fool Stranded by the roadside Going nowhere soon Trying to hitch a ride but they all pass me by They know I’m a hopeless case You’ve stolen all my fuel I need a rescue I’m broken down and busted Standing in the rain I’m broken down and busted alright Just looking for a friend tonight I’m broken down and busted again Feeling like a fool standing in the rain You packed my heart in a suitcase And threw it out the window I never learn to read the signs Now I’m drifting like the wind blows I’m broken down and busted alright Just looking for a friend tonight I’m broken down and busted again Feeling like a fool standing in the rain

Yeah we got mushrooms and wine Mescaline and moonshine Yeah I guess you could say We’re gonna have a good time Let’s get fucked up tonight Let’s get fucked up tonight Come on let’s do it right Let’s get fucked up tonight We got everything we need Whiskey beer pills and weed Who cares about tomorrow Let’s get fucked up tonight Hey wanna ride with us?

Skulls 08:23

You can hear them coming The humming of the gathering crowd Out of the shadows into the night From every corner of every town Heavy battalion moving as one Bringing the noise Hot ghouls glow in the dark Electric eyes Skulls All the way from the front to the back We’re all the same under the mask Together tonight gone by the sunrise Raise your banners and your battle cries Skulls We’re all skulls All the place is energised You can see it in the air When we hit the lights Oh what a beautiful sight There’s no disguise We’re here to testify We’re all skulls tonight SKULLS!

about

"Skulls" is the third album in 18 months from UK hot rockers Heavy Leg. Written and recorded over five winter months in Scotland, it's a harder and at times darker offering than the first two albums, climaxing with the epic eight and a half minute title track.

Heavy Leg came together as virtual strangers in October 2020 to write and record 13 songs in 4 weeks. Holed up in rural Scotland, they created the album "Headquake", inspired by classic heavy rock n roll and hard rock.
They re-grouped in early '21 to record their hard hitting second album "Get Up" then "Skulls" in May '22. The latest tour de force "STUN/KILL Double Live" was uncaged in late '23. ... more
