LYRICS

HELL BET ON ME TO LOSE

Hell Bet on me to lose 

And now I have to choose 

It’s you or me, my Babe 

Well, we all learn the hard way 


You’re wrong – when I am right 

You say Black – When I Say White 

I’ve had all this before 

So now Baby, I choose to go 


Cause 

Hell Bet on Me to Lose 


More work with less to gain 

I love living, but I hate the pain 

My job is not good for me 

Let call it quits, I’ve had enough of this… 


Hit the brake, step on the gas 

Police are after me, I gotta be fast 

I will get busted for driving drunk 

Life is Bittersweet and I am out of luck 


But 

Hell Bet on Me to Lose 


“That’s all that I did Judge” 

And he shouted “Guilty as charged” 

and sentenced me for life 

To have you as my wife 


You’re wrong – when I am right 

You say Black – When I Say White 

I’ve had all this before 

But there is a guard outside my door 

UNDER THE RADAR 

Make Your Own Rules 

Be a Square Peg 

Question everything they put in your Head 

Do not Submit 

Their message is: Money is God and you’re God’s Little Bitch 


You Should Have Known By Now… 

There Are ways to Resist 


I Fly Under The Radar 

But I aim straight to the Heart of the Beast 


Some Sell Dope 

Others Trade Guns 

Respected Businessmen 

Family Guys 

They Are Tax Dodgers 

With Special Rules 

Expensive Lawyers 

Large Swimming Pools 


Who Doesn’t Know By Now? 

Who Doesn’t know? 


So, I Fly Under The Radar 

But I aim straight to the Heart of the Beast 

SHADOW OF WEALTH 

Baby, baby I am sorry 

The war is over, no one won 

Out of our trenches and into their limos 

Everywhere the news is the same… 


Baby, baby we didn’t make it 

I can’t find my pen under the mud 

I’d like to write you all the details 

Of a war not meant to be won… 


I hear the medic’s steps are closing 

I’d like to call him but I can’t 

Remember me when flowers blossom 

And keep me close to your heart… 


In the shadow of so much wealth there is this suffering… 

In the shadow of so much wealth there is this hate… 

REVIEWS

"Really amazing, like every NZG work. Always respecting the character of each song, letting it go to extremes if it's necessary, to get the most genuine sound. A band that transcends styles because NZG is a style in itself." 

- El Gurú - Radio DJ, Musician, Author (Argentina) 


"Hell Bet On Me To Lose – a rollicking rocker storms your eardrums – very hard not to want to get the air guitar out and strike your best Johnny Thunders pose. Just a great pre-punk sound akin to The Motors and New York Dolls without sounding in the least bit dated. Top production with spattering of samples over a glorious guitar driven track with ferocious vocals from Mike Pougounas, formerly of Greek legends The Flowers of Romance. 


Under The Radar is more of a straight ahead punk rock steamroller with a terracing friendly chorus, and more of the brilliantly subtle twists and turns that punctuates the band’s unique sound. Shadow of Wealth mix by (the totally brilliant) Dark En Ceil is simply stunning. Heavy (Thomas Leer like) industrial synth is supplemented by a wonderous ethereal dream pop synths that rise and fall to that industrial beat like still sea threatening a tsunami.

 
The original version of Shadow of Wealth is still a fantastic piece of work, this time with sound effects displaying an inventiveness that is both inspired and inspiring – forget rocking out to this one, just prepare to be amazed at the superb playing, singing, production and depth of talent on view." 

- John Innes – New Hellfire Club, Glasgow (Scotland)
