Jerusalem "Frustration" (lyrics found)
* From album: "Jerusalem"
Tell me how you feel
Tell me love is real
Tell me what to do
Anything for you
Things you said are on my mind
I know it's gonna take some time
To find out what I know is true
I'm in love with you
If you don't wanna know
Tell me and I'll go
I don't really mind
I don't have the time
See you've got your man
Picked the worst you can
I told you who was who
Now it's up to you
I needn't worry about myself
I've found a way to get off the shelf
The girl I've found is something new
It's too late for you
Once I needed you
You hadn't got a clue
And now it's all okay
A pity you can't stay
Hey, girl, will you never learn?
Who do you think you're fooling
with your lying and your crying?
You'll only be happy
the day you see me dying
Oh yeah, that's the way it happens sometimes
None of us got love, all right
You know all the times and all the crimes
that you've given me
When you're older and everything's over
maybe then you will see
I'm a man who does what he can
to find some peace of mind
And all you can do
is be untrue and to be so unkind
Be good to me, just treat me right
Tell me how you feel
Tell me love is real
Tell me what to do
Anything for you
Things you said are on my mind
I know it's gonna take some time
To find out what I know is true
I'm in love with you
If you don't wanna know
Tell me and I'll go
I don't really mind
I don't have the time

Jerusalem "Beyond The Grave" (lyrics found)
* From album: "Jerusalem"
Love me till the grass dies on my grave
Love me till the earth rots my bones
For by then we shall have been joined
And new life will have crossed my loins
Someday we shall meet again
But death is only a minute's pain
Eternity carries forth the fire of love
That shall be fully sapped by us
And my love, my grave will become just a spot
To mark a place where I once was
A hole in which a shell of mine was lost
Now we are joinеd in a place that is new
Life is lifе in which we are two
Come what may, we'll have time to play
And make love May after May
Year after year, our bodies will meet
Continually joyful love will be sweet
Man and wife will easily be lost
And bodies will glitter like fields of frost
Like fields of frost

Jerusalem "Midnight Steamer" (lyrics found)
* From album: "Jerusalem"
In the dawn of the evening
The boat has come to transport you
Three hooded sirens are your crew
Your captain is a skeleton
[Just come on] 2x
[Come on in, the water's fine] 2x
[And the midnight steamer appears on time] 2x
In the dawn of the evening
People make love to make death
Your coffin is on a cabin shеlf
Your journey is very long
[Just come on] 2x
[Come on in, the water's fine] 2x
[And the midnight steamer appears on time] 2x
In the dawn of the evening
A passage is reserved for you
The boat has come to transport you
You just can't linger on
[Just come on] 2x
[Come on in, the water's fine] 2x
[And the midnight steamer appears on time] 2x

Jerusalem "Murderer's Lament" (lyrics found)
* From album: "Jerusalem"
Here I sit, I'm very sad
Am I really going mad?
They never seem to notice me
I'm all alone, you see
It doesn't matter how I try
Women seem to pass me by
Now the time begins to fly
I'm lonely
When the night comes, I must go
Loneliness has become my foe
Must find that woman who is best
Lay her first, then break her neck
That dirt that walks the streets
Until some lonely man she meets
Then degrades him till he weeps
Then kicks him back into the street
Pretty flowers, I waste the hours
Watching birds go by, see the birdies fly
Hiding from the law, hiding in this straw
See the pointed hats coming down the track
My heart begins to race, will they find this place?
A hand upon my head, I know that I am dead, I'm dead

Jerusalem "When The Wolf Sits" (lyrics found)
* From album: "Jerusalem"
It's the time of night
When the wolf sits alone and howls to the moon
It's the time of night
When a man walks alone and ponders his doom
It's the time for looking around
To see who's waiting for you
You need a lover, I need a trip
We need each other, before we slip
Into another dawn, into another morning
Just like today and the day before
In fact, I don't know what I'm looking for right now
It's the time of night
When you look to see whose head is on your pillow
It's the time of night
When you should be high but you are really low
It's the time for looking forward
To see where you can go
You need a lover, I need a trip
We need each other, before we slip
Into another dawn, into another morning
Just like today and the day before
In fact, I don't know what I'm looking for right now
It's the time of night
When a man says to you "When did you die?"
It's the time of night
When the smile on her face makes you cry
It's the time for looking back
And to wonder why
You need a lover, I need a trip
We need each other, before we slip
Into another dawn, into another morning
Just like today and the day before
In fact, I don't know what I'm looking for right now

Jerusalem "She Came Like A Bat From Hell" (lyrics found)
* From album: "Jerusalem"
Well, I recall long ago
How she came like a bat from hell
Like the sun, like the moon
She came like a bat from hell
She was fire, she was desire
She came like a bat from hell
I stalked and I caught
She came like a bat from hell
Wwe grew like so few
She came like a bat from hell
We will, we shall
She came like a bat from hell
She was the queen of the magic isle
Who came to eat my heart away
She filled me up with all her lies
And then returned down Satan's way
When she left, I wished her well
My lady who was born in hell
Then I saw the blood on my hand
Knew I was destined for Satan's land
Well, I recall long ago
How she came like a bat from hell
Like the sun, like the moon
She came like a bat from hell
She was fire, she was desire
She came like a bat from hell
I stalked and I caught
She came like a bat from hell
We grew like so few
She came like a bat from hell
We will, we shall
She came like a bat from hell
