'Days Are Forgotten'
'Shoot the Runner'
'Velociraptor!'
'Underdog'
'Where Did All the Love Go?'
'Swarfiga'
'Let's Roll Just Like We Used To'
'I.D.'
'Take Aim'
'Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime'
'Club Foot'
'Re-Wired'

'Praise You'
'L.S.F. (Lost Souls Forever)'
'Switchblade Smiles'
'Vlad the Impaler'
'Fire'
