| "Son Of The South"
Racing down the river, crossroads to Lake Shore Drive
Moving on the fire line, keeping it high and dry
Sharp as a straight edge razor
Quick as a switchblade knife
I'll be pushing it to the limit, baby
Till I get to the sweet Southside
Baby, what a ride

Начало «нулевых» выдалось для Molly Hatchet достаточно насыщенным на события. Группа отметила 25-тилетний юбилей, заново записав свои классические хиты, выпустила очень успешный двойной концертный альбом и DVD, откатала серию туров, попутно решая кадровые проблемы. К 2005 году состав наконец стабилизировался и, что самое главное, в группу после почти 20-тилетнего отсутствия вернулся один из ее основателей Дэйв Хлабек – невероятно вдохновляющее событие для старых фэнов Hatchet. К сожалению 2005 год принес и печальные известия о смерти оригинального вокалиста группы Дэнни Джо Брауна…
Поскольку последний полноформатник Molly Hatchet вышел аж в 2000 году, было интересно, как будет звучать группа на новом альбоме. Особенно с учетом обновленного лайн-апа и возвращения Хлабека, что на фоне выпуска в 2003 году перезаписанного классического материала наводило на размышления, что группа может удариться в ностальгию и попытается записать вторую часть столь успешного когда-то “Flirtin’ With Disaster”. К счастью, Molly Hatchet не стали повторяться, и на “Warriors of the Rainbow Bridge” группа заметно обновила свое звучание. Гитары стали заметно выше, более резкими и отчасти даже «мясными». Такой звук пришелся бы впору и для трэша, как это ни странно. Кроме того, объемное звучание стало максимально приближено к концертному. Изменилась и подача материала. Если на последних трех альбомах многие песни строились вокруг мелодичных лид-гитар, то теперь большинство композиций построены на основе резких, массивных риффов, а солирование стало более сдержанным. На этом альбоме Molly Hatchet добились максимального сплава традиционного южного рока и металла, вследствие чего отделить один элемент от другого становится крайне затруднительно.
Надо отдать должное, что хоть вернувшийся Хлабек и не участвовал в написании материала, все же ему вполне удалось вернуть часть былой атмосферы, что особенно ярко проявилось в таких классных вещах, как “Son of the South”, “Moonlight Dancin' on the Bayou” и “Get in the Game”, которые живо напоминают о первых двух альбомах Hatchet. При этом, временами делая реверанс в сторону классического наследия группы, альбом полон свежих идей и далек от явных самоповторов. Чего стоит одна только “Flames Are Burning”, которая, начинаясь с сокрушительного риффа, ненадолго входит в балладное русло, вырулив из которого в своей кульминации вплотную приближается к европейскому пауэру! Скоростная “I'm Ready for You”, в основе которой заложен пронзительный хард-роковый рифф, также представляет из себя удивительно органичный микс из традиционного рока и металла. Эмоциональная заглавная вещь (посвящена умершей жене лидера «хэтчетов» Бобби Ингрэма) едва ли не единственная на альбоме, которую можно назвать прямым продолжением того, что группа делала на трех предыдущих альбомах. В общем, достойная работа от классиков южного рока, наполненная драйвом и хулиганской удалью.
К сожалению, досадной ложкой дегтя на этом альбоме является заметно севший вокал Фила МакКормака, который порой теряется на фоне столь мощного звучания, звуча плоско и безжизненно. Это конечно, разочаровывает и несколько смазывает впечатление от альбома. Тем не менее, несмотря на этот досадный аспект, “Warriors of the Rainbow Bridge” показал, что группа не теряет хорошую творческую форму и, несмотря на консервативность, ей все время удается предлагать новые идеи в рамках жанра и своего творчества. |

Coming into the St. Johns River, coming in out of the fog
Got troubles, damn I'm wide ass open, I'm running like a
scalded dog
Tonight is made for living, I ain't dead just yet
If I don't see your face on the Southside, trouble's what
you gonna get
Sharp as a straight edge razor
Quick as a switchblade knife
I'm proud to be a son of the south
Till the day I die, there ain't no doubt

"Moonlight Dancin' On The Bayou"
I ran into a gypsy woman workin' on the bayou
A red silk scarf on her jet black hair with a smile and a
gold capped tooth
She said her name was Mama Star, raised in New Orleans
Been around the world five times over, wish I would see
half she's seen
Moonlight dancin' on the bayou
Say your prayers cause she gonna get inside you
She stooped down, cracked a vertical smile, fire came
from her fingertips
With a Cheshire cat grin said what can I get you as she
was licking her lips
I'd be a fool baby, if I didn't do the do
I couldn't forget it, I had to hit it, then I had to hit the bricks
Get on the next train out of town
Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down
Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell
Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well
Get on the next train out of town
Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down
Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell
Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well
The fire was burnin', my guts were turnin' as she swinged
and danced around
A black cat crossed my path and then I got dizzy and I had
to lay down
She took me round the corner baby, to a basement room
She stood in the doorway to block my path, I knew I had to
get out of there soon
Moonlight dancin' on the bayou
Say your prayers cause she gonna get inside you
Moonlight dancin' on the bayou
Say your prayers cause she gonna get inside you
Get on the next train out of town
Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down
Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell
Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well
Get on the next train out of town
Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down
Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell
Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well
Moonlight dancin' on the bayou
Say your prayers cause she gonna get inside you
I hope she's doing well, yes I hope she's doing fine
My hair's grown back and I'm almost as tall as I was in
ninety-nine
The woman has a power baby, from the darker side
I hope I never see her again, if I do, I'll just run and hide
Get on the next train out of town
Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down
Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell
Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well
Get on the next train out of town
Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down
Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell
Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well
Get on the next train out of town
Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down
Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell
Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well
"I'm Ready For You"
I got a hot rod engine in a Cadillac
A sweet little mama to ride in back
Coming into town to give me some
Tell the policeman, get ready to run
I'm ready (ready for you)
Yes, I'm ready (to do what you do)
I'm ready (ready for you)
Yes, I'm ready for you to do what you do
Gimme your best
Full tank of gas and a fresh pack of smokes
Little girl's in the backseat telling dirty jokes
The policeman gives me the evil eye
So does mama as we drive by
I'm ready (ready for you)
Yes, I'm ready (to do what you do)
I'm ready (ready for you)
Yes, I'm ready for you to do what you do (do the best)
The doctor's in the back, he's all messed up
Little girl's half naked, she's shakin' that stuff
My lawyer's playing cards with the boys in the band
Good golly Miss Molly, who's holding the hand
I'm ready (ready for you)
Yes, I'm ready (to do what you do)
I'm ready (ready for you)
Baby, I'm ready for you to do what you do, I'm ready
I'm ready (ready for you)
Yes, I'm ready (to do what you do)
I'm ready (ready for you)
Yes, I'm ready
"Roadhouse Boogie"
Rockin' round this country and rollin' round the world
We've seen a lot of faces and we spanked a million girls
You're waitin' on me, you're walkin' backwards my friend
This road goes on forever and it's never gonna end
When we take the stage
There's no reason through the night
Give everything every time
Roadhouse boogie, shakin' all night long
All or nothin', playin' till the dawn
Roadhouse boogie, shakin' all night long
All or nothin', playin', say shakin' all night long
Shakin'
I've been from city to city, every town in between
I'm ridin' steel horses, chasin' my life's dream
I'm on tour forever and that's all that I know
I'm always on the run, yes I'm always on the go
When we take the stage
And we'll turn it up real loud
Do our best to do you proud
Been down many a dusty road
And I felt that cold wind blow
And that cold wind blow
Roadhouse boogie, shakin' all night long
All or nothin', playin' till the dawn
Roadhouse boogie, shakin' all night long
All or nothin', playin', shakin' all night long
Livin' out of a suitcase, standin' on the line
I worked without a net, I guess I'm doing alright
New York City to Birmingham, Alabama
Chicago, Daytona, Lafayette, Louisiana
When we take the stage
And we turn the amps to ten
Then you'll understand my friend
I'm the luckiest guy I know
Cause I'm livin' the life I love
Yeah, it's all I know
Roadhouse boogie, shakin' all night long
All or nothin', playin' till the dawn
Roadhouse boogie, shakin' all night long
All or nothin', playin' till the dawn
Till the dawn
Said, roadhouse boogie
"Time Keeps Slipping Away"
It started out baby, just like a dream
Like teenage romance, we were head over heels
I can't read the future to tell what was in store
While I was sleepin', she was on out the door
I can't believe that she said I was her man
As she was my baby, that's when the trouble began
As trouble follows you around all night and day
Now that I know we'll go our separate way
Don't let the screen door hit you where the good lord split
you
Cause time keeps tickin' away
Don't let the screen door hit you where the good lord split
you
Cause time keeps tickin' away
What happened to the promise we made
For better, for worse, I think that we both said
We try to work it out and stay together
Then I found out, it was all spoken mirrors
If you can't stand the heat, don't look in my direction
Just leave the keys and take your obsession
What a show you put on, yeah it's quite a disgrace
Your number's on the bedroom wall, say who wants a date
Don't let the screen door hit you where the good lord split
you
Cause time keeps tickin' away
Don't let the screen door hit you where the good lord split
you
Cause time keeps tickin' away
Cause time keeps tickin', time keeps tickin', time keeps
tickin' away
"Get In The Game"
Welcome to Last Chance motel, yeah, it's the end of the
line
All dressed up and nowhere to go in a one horse town
Part of me is back in the city, I had to change direction
I got no backstage passes, baby, to the resurrection
I had to reach inside, take a look
When I don't know who I am
With broken hearts and street smarts, baby
Have made me a jaded man
Nothin' to it, but to do it
Get in the game
Been on the sidelines far too long
Get in the game
Stick to your pistols, baby, 'cause it's a brand new day
The world is for the takin' now, nothin' to stand in my way
Lookin' back over your shoulder, dwelling on the past
Better think twice if you roll the dice
Don't write a check, your ass can't cash
I had to reach inside, take a look
When I don't know who I am
With broken hearts and street smarts, baby
Have made me a jaded man
Nothin' to it, but to do it
Get in the game
Been on the sidelines far too long
Get in the game
Nothin' to it, but to do it
Get in the game
Been on the sidelines far too long
Get in the game
I'm always left inside a song, that's where I feel safe
Sometimes when you open your eyes, you play 'em as
they lay
Now the sun is shining down, black clouds have gone
away
Life's worth livin', but it ain't forgiven, yes, it's your play you
pay
I had to reach inside, take a look
Behold a stronger man
Nothin' to it, but to do it
Get in the game
Been on the sidelines far too long
Get in the game
Nothin' to it, but to do it
Get in the game
Been on the sidelines far too long
Get in the game
Get in the game
Get in the game
"Flames Are Burning"
In the beginning, it was love and devotion
All the emotions you missed all your life
I want to show you into my heart
Cause that's where feelings have to start
And I feel so alive to hold you in my arms
Did not realize the cost
Midnight promises that are broken don't mean a thing
That's how easy love gets lost
Flames are burning and your halo's gone tonight
Live to tell, fight to live another day
While the world's still turning, you got to get on with your
life
Live to tell, fight to live another day
And then in a moment baby, you were gone and I had just
turned my head
My whole world went upside down cause I believed every
word you said
Break a heart and tell a lie
Stole a kiss and never said goodbye
Flames are burning and your halo's gone tonight
Live to tell, fight to live another day
While the world's still turning, you got to get on with your
life
Live to tell, fight to live another day
Live another day
Break a heart and tell a lie
Stole a kiss and never said goodbye
Flames are burning and your halo's gone tonight
Live to tell, fight to live another day
While the world's still turning, you got to get on with your
life
Live to tell, fight to live another day
Flames are burning and your halo's gone tonight
Live to tell, fight to live another day
While the world's still turning, you got to get on with your
life
Live to tell, fight to live another day
Fight another day
"Hell Has No Fury"
Creeping through the backyard late in the morning
Don't wanna wake up my wife
You hear a shotgun blast that will be the warning
Yeah, you better run for your life
This ain't no way of living, always fighting, no forgiving
Half my life's on my bended knee
Could you meet me in the middle? Show you love me just
a little
And won't see the backside of me
Hell has no fury like a woman's scorn
Make a strong man wish that he'd never been born
Go messin' with the lady, she's gonna drive you crazy
Leave you standin' on the street
Out there alone
Got everything that you own
If there's a moral to this story
I'd be the last one to know
Take your pleasure where you find it, hold it close while
you can
And baby, don't let it go
Hell has no fury like a woman's scorn
Make a strong man wish that he'd never been born
Go messin' with the lady, good god, she's gonna drive you
crazy
Leave you standin' on the street
Without no home
She gonna take everything that you own
Hell has no fury like a woman's scorn
Make a strong man wish that he'd never been born
Go messin' with the lady, she's gonna drive you crazy
Leave you standin' on the street
Hell has no fury like a woman's scorn
Make a strong man wish that he'd never been born
Go messin' with the lady, she's gonna drive you crazy
Leave you standin' on the street
Out there alone
Got everything that you own
"Gone In Sixty Seconds"
Gone in sixty seconds, still runnin' way down low
You feel the eyes upon you, said baby, it's time to go
Get your things and grab your heart, just head on out the
door
The world is out there waitin' for you, only you know what
you're lookin' for
Live fast, ride hard and go for what you know
Life's tough and go for what you know
Go for what you know
I went to darker passions baby, the end of the road
A comedy, a tragedy as the devil laid a dirty joke
All I see is bloody roses, my mind is getting clearer
All my troubles left with you, they're in the rearview mirror
Live fast, ride hard and go for what you know
Life's tough and go for what you know
Be careful what you wish for cause it might just come true
Well if it comes too easy baby, then you have to pay your
dues
If you can't wait until tomorrow, got to have it today
Be careful what you wish for, you just might live to pay
Live fast, ride hard and go for what you know
Life's tough, so go for what you know
(Go for what you know)
Live fast, ride hard, go for what you know
Live fast, ride hard, go for what you know
Live fast, ride hard, go for what you know
Live fast, ride hard, go for what you know
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
"Behind The Bedroom Door"
You got my attention, now I'm in the mood
Love to see you shakin', love to watch you move
Lookin' so fine, swinging to and fro
All dolled up and ready to go
Oh, no, no, no
And all goes around on her tippy toes
Which way you're turnin', no one knows
Down and dirty, don't you know?
It's all in the name of rock 'n' roll
Men are layin' at your feet
Heads are turnin' on the street
See you comin' for a country mile
End the destination, you arrive in style
Damn, you knocked me off my feet
Tight little package looks so sweet
Baby, you make my day complete
I want more than just a little
Yeah, smack dab in the middle
Pick my tongue up off the floor
What's behind the bedroom door?
Oh, gimme just a little more
What's behind the bedroom door?
Some folks say you're quite a mover
Slippin' and slidin', you know how to maneuver
It's a pure and simple plan
Grabbing everything you can
Every weeks pay for just one smile
Sassy, saucy, just my style
You got them great big bedroom eyes
Must be the devil in disguise
Men are layin' at your feet
Heads are turnin' on the street
See you comin' for a country mile
End the destination, you arrive in style
Damn, you knocked me off my feet
Tight little package looks so sweet
Baby, you make my day complete
I want more than just a little
Yeah, smack dab in the middle
Pick my tongue up off the floor
What's behind the bedroom door?
Tell me what do I have me some more
Ow, what's behind the bedroom door?
Men are layin' at your feet
Heads are turnin' on the street
See you comin' for a country mile
End the destination, you arrive in style
Damn, you knocked me off my feet
Tight little package looks so sweet
Baby, you make my day complete
I want more than just a little
Yeah, smack dab in the middle
Pick my tongue up off the floor
What's behind the bedroom door?
Said baby, won't ya gimme some more?
See you comin' for a country mile
What's behind the bedroom door?
Damn, you knocked me off my feet
I got to have me some more
Baby, you make my day complete
Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more, gimme more
What's behind your bedroom door?
"No Stranger To The Darkness"
Times of trouble I can understand
I may be crazy, don't mean that I'm a bad man
Broken sails from a wind of change got me broken down
Lose a man from breakin' baby, till you're six feet in the
ground
One step forward and two steps back
Living hand to mouth in a shotgun shack
Two time loser in love, yes it's sink or swim
Ain't nothing gonna owe, but the rent now baby
While you are drinking your ice cold gin
I was walkin' with the devil in the bad days of my life
I could not find the sun cause it's raining all day and night
Hear the soundtrack to your soul coming from deep inside
Places you don't wanna go cause you can't hide
No stranger to the darkness, trouble finds its way to me
I'm facing the danger, but not till eternity
The world is getting bigger, all alone out in the blues
All fingers on the trigger, just tell me who made who
Raised out on the streets since I was born
Have mercy for good fortune cause I'm really torn
No stranger to the darkness, trouble finds its way to me
I'll be livin' the danger from now until eternity
No stranger to the darkness from now until eternity
No stranger to the darkness from now until eternity
"Rainbow Bridge"
Everybody's got a different life story, there ain't no two
alike
We all have family hardships, do our best just to survive
Early springtime morning, the life I knew came to an end
I lost my lover and my wife and my very closest friend
Your mama and your daddy always raised an eye to see
They tried to give you all the love they had and ever need
I gave you unconditional love, so you would never feel
alone
We picked out an ice cold house that you turned into our
home
So let's celebrate the lady we were lucky to know at all
I'm so sorry that she's gone, but her spirit lives on and on
As you cross the rainbow bridge, you're in my heart
And it wasn't just so I love you, I never put no one above
you
I think about you every minute of every day
You and mama are above me 24/7, 365
I know you're walkin' with the angels and yourself is out
tonight
So let's celebrate the lady we were lucky to know at all
I'm so sorry that she's gone, but her spirit lives on and on
As you cross the rainbow bridge, you're in my heart
