Daydream nightmare, access denied Firewall build up, says you can't, but you can try She give a little wink, she kissed me on the cheek, She touched me on the hand, in a way too friendly way She's standing in my space, I'm reading all the signs, Much to my surprise, she's been telling me a lie That girl is cooking up a show There is no way I could have known, Should have seen the signs Look no touch, Look no touch, You can look but you can't touch nothin' You can look but you can't have this. Blueball widow, stood up in the rain Soul survivor, took me on a date, full of pain She's such a teaser, she said she needed pleasin', I never knew nothing like a five-star stager She played me on a bluff, now I've had enough I'm bent down on my knees, and I'm doing it tough I should have read the fine print carefully That girl's high maintenance, I know this is gonna cost me Look no touch, Look no touch, You can look but you can't touch nothin' You can look but you can't have this. I must have thought that this was meant to be I must have thought that this was destiny How wrong could I be? Look no touch, Look no touch, You can look but you can't touch nothin' You can look but you can't have this. Look no touch, Look no touch, You can look but you can't touch nothin' You can look but you can't have this.

Save my life 04:25
When I'm down on luck, and misfortune You know that something ain't right When my heart is bleeding and I see no light Can't see the meaning in this life Well I'm searching for a reason Nothing seems to change Although I try There's nothing I can do I'm reaching out, I'm losing faith I'm calling out for you A guardian angel coming into view Save my life, this is not my time I got too much of living life to do Save my life, get me through this bind I wanna get my life back in the groove When you're holding me, in your arms I'm feeling safe, and deep in love with you And the feeling that I get, I know you feel it too It's something that we cherish every night And days go by, and pass into the night Still you're there, holding on to me And though we fight, there's a shining light You know I'll always be in love with you Save my life, stay here by my side Hold me close, look into my eyes Save my life, give me all your time Gimme love, it's all you need to do When you're watching over me, I'm holding on to you I feel it (feel it), I need it (need it), I just can't live without it When I have those darker days, you make them go away And that's all I could ever ask, all I ever ask of you Well I'm searching for a reason But nothing seems to change Although I try There's nothing I can do I'm reaching out, I'm losing faith I'm calling out for you A guardian angel looking out for me Save my life, this is not my time I got too much of living life to do Save my life, get me through this bind I wanna get my life back in the groove Save my life, stay here by my side Hold me close and look into my eyes Save my life, give me all your time Gimme love, it's all you need to do

Got an ache in my heart And emptiness in my soul Where love once used to shelter But life has taken its toll Do you remember the feeling When two hearts beat as one Set on a course of destiny That could not be undone Something's gotta change Something's gotta give I can't go on like this I've given everything That I could give And that still ain't enough When your heart is broken And it brings you to your knees Some words are left unspoken It's time to be set free It's a sacrifice, it won't be too nice Probably gonna feel like hell for some time When it's over, it's over And you won't be making love to me Gotta make a hard choice At the fork of the road By the time you see this comin' There'll be light in the heavy load There once was a time When our faith would stand unbroken But it's all gone now 'Cos my heart is sad and broken Something's gotta change Something's gotta give I can't go on like this I've given everything That I could give And that still ain't enough When your heart is broken And it brings you to your knees Some words are left unspoken It's time to be set free It's a sacrifice, it won't be too nice Probably gonna feel like hell for some time When it's over, it's over And you won't be making love to me Solo When your heart is broken And it brings you to your knees Some words are left unspoken It's time to be set free It's a sacrifice, it won't be too nice Probably gonna feel like hell for some time When it's over, it's over And you won't be with me

about

Recorded at Mazz-XT Music between 2017-2019
All songs written by Scott Ginn except song 12 written by Scott Ginn, Kevin Pratt and Craig Csongrady.

Australia's Rags N Riches frontman Scott Ginn returns with his third solo album. This new album is the second Mazz-XT project, the follow-up to his 2015 'At the brink of eternity' album and his 1986 solo album - 'Ginn -One Man Army' that recently had its 30-year anniversary edition released.

With 'Only the Quick and the Dead' Scott has put together a set of 12 new memorable and classic hard rock songs. You'll be singing along with the chorus of every song on first listen and bangin' your head to the power unleashed from this album.

For fans of Bon Scott era AC/DC, early Bad Company and Def Leppard and UFO, this is a must-have album.

"Everything on this album feels just right. It's the most cohesive set I've put together, and I can't wait to share it with the world.'

What they're saying about 'Only the quick and the dead':

"2019 is only two months done, but with ‘Only The Quick And The Dead’, we already have the Australian Hard Rock album of the year. Ginn has released a superb collection of unabashed, yet original, melodic and memorable hard rock that the rock world needs to hear. "
Col Gray, Australian Rock Review

"Twelve tracks rocking and dancing that will make you shake your butt, remembering your teenage times. It is amazingly done and I must say I rarely heard a one man band with such a great music. This man is skilled and make every band sounding like useless......so get that album to kick your day with great tunes 100/100. "
Marcel Fabio, The Metal Mag
