Glenn Tipton - Hard Core Lyrics

As I lie awake in the morning
Just killing time
I can feel the pain and the torment
Building up inside my mind
Have to get it under the counter
Stop myself from going blind
An excess is what I'm after
Nothing less will satisfy
So I walk the streets
And I search beneath
The cloak of decency that hides
All that I need
On which I feed
Better give me
Hard Core
And so the urge returns again
Hard Core
Only thing to ease the pain
Lipsmacking magazine when you're younger
Hidden in my desk at school
Big appetite increases the hunger
Now I need it more and more
Gimme little something to take until daybreak
Or I will go insane
It's building in me, need relief
You better give me
Hard Core
Speak to me of things I like
Hard Core
Nothing less will satisfy
Oh they lie to me
So it's time to be on my way
Speak of love but say
We are way ahead of this place
So so - so frustrated
Never naked - never betrayed
So so - so frustrated
Never naked - never betrayed
Take it to the limit
I admit it you know
Yes I couldn't give a damn
Oh is it any wonder
That I hunger
Just can't give me
Hard core
Seeping back into my brain
Hard core
The only thing to ease my pain
Hard core
Get it while you can
Experience it every day
Hard core
You want it bad you better pay
Fax phone line just wanna flick through
Anytime cataloguing while I kinda change
I'm gonna order mine this time and
I'm gonna watch you viewing behind a mirror
Looking I'm out there ... do it
Hard core
Feel the need to return again
Hard core
Nothing less will ease the pain
Hard core
Hard core
