Radio: X is Modern Rock station of San Andreas.  It is what the younger
generation would have listened to, and is my favourite radio station in the
game.  

By reading this FAQ you can now know the lyrics to the great songs 
played on Radio: X, and maybe sing along if you want to.

UNSUNG by HELMET 
From their Album "Meantime" released in 1992

Your contribution left unnoticed some
Association with an image
Just credit time for showing up again
Attention wandered I'm left with it

Gone by sin too slowly
Can't pass it up
Then I thought nothing is right
I turned it off

To die unsung would really bring you down
Although wet eyes would never suit you
Walk through no archetypal suicide
Die young is far too boring these days

Your will to speak clearly
Exposed too much
Unsung once too often
Could not rub off

=====================================
PERSONAL JESUS by DEPECHE MODE
From their Album "Violator" released in 1990

Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown 
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone 
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer

Take second best 
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown 
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus

Reach out and touch faith

=====================================
MIDLIFE CRISIS by FAITH NO MORE
From their Album "Angel Dust" released in 1992

Go on and wring my neck
Like when a rag gets wet
A little discipline
For my pet genius
My head is like a lettuce
Go on and dig your thumbs in
I cannot stop giving
I'm thirty-something
Sense of security
Like pockets jingling
Midlife crisis
Suck ingenuity
Down through the family tree
You're perfect, yes, it's true
But without me you're only you
Your menstruating heart
It ain't bleeding enough for two
It's a midlife crisis...
What an inheritance
The salt and the kleenex
Morbid self attention
Bending my pinky back
A little discipline
A donor by habit
A little discipline
Rent an opinion
Sense of security
Holding blunt instrument
I'm a perfectionist
And perfect is a skinned knee
You're perfect, yes, it's true
But without me you're only you
Your menstruating heart
It ain't bleeding enough for two
It's a midlife crisis...............

=====================================
MOTHER by DANZIG
From their Album "Danzig" released in 1988

Mother
Tell your children not to walk my way
Tell your children not to hear my words
What they mean
What they say
Mother

Mother
Can you keep them in the dark for life
Can you hide them from the waiting world
Oh, Mother

Father
Gonna take your daughter out tonight
Gonna show her my world
Oh, Father

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
Till your bleeding

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's...

Mother
Tell your children not to hold my hand
Tell your children not to understand
Oh, Mother

Father
Do you wanna bang heads with me  
Do you wanna feel everything

Oh, father
Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
Till your bleeding

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
Till your bleeding

CULT OF PERSONALITY by LIVING COLOUR
From their Album "Vivid" released in 1988

Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Cult of Personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
I'm the Cult of Personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality

Neon lights, A Nobel Price
The mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your T.V.
I'm the Cult of Personality
I exploit you still you love me

I tell you one and one makes three
I'm the Cult of Personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandi
I'm the Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality

Neon lights a Nobel Prize
A leader speaks, that leader dies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set you free

You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You me power in your God's name
I'm every person you need to be
I'm the Cult of Personality

=====================================
MOVIN' ON UP by PRIMAL SCREAM

I was blind, now I can see
You made a believer, out of me
I was blind, now I can see
You made a believer, out of me

Chorus
I'm movin' on up now
Gettin' out of the darkness
My light shines on
My light shines on
My light shines on

I was lost, now I'm found
I believe in you, I've got no bounds
I was lost, now I'm found
I believe in you, I got no bounds

I'm movin' on up now
Gettin' out of the darkness
My light shines on
My light shines on
My light shines on

Repeat Chorus

I'm getting outta darkness
My light shines on
I'm getting outta darkness
My light shines on

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE by GUNS N' ROSES
From their Album "Appetite For Destruction" released in 1987

Welcome to the jungle
We've got fun 'n' games
We got everything you want
Honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find
Whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey
We got your disease

In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
knees, knees
I wanna watch you bleed

Welcome to the jungle
We take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed
But it's the price you pay
And you're a very sexy girl
That's very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights
But you won't get them for free
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my serpentine
I, I wanna hear you scream

Welcome to the jungle
It gets worse here everyday
Ya learn ta live like an animal
In the jungle where we play
If you got a hunger for what you see
You'll take it eventually
You can have anything you want
But you better not take it from me

And when you're high you never
Ever want to come down, YEAH!

You know where you are
You're in the jungle baby
You're gonna die
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
knees, knees
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my serpentine
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
knees, knees
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
It' gonna bring you down

=====================================
PRETEND WE'RE DEAD by L7
From their Album "Bricks Are Heavy" released in 1992

Whats up with what's going down
In every city, in every town
Cramping styles is the plan.
They've got us in the palm of every hand.

When we pretend that we're dead 
When we pretend that we're dead 
They can't hear a word we've said 
When we pretend that we're dead

(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)

(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)

We turn the tables with our unity,
They're neither moral nor majority.
Wake up and smell the coffee
Or just say no to individuality.

When we pretend that we're dead
(pretend we're dead)
When we pretend that we're dead
(pretend we're dead) 
They can't hear a word we've said 
(pretend we're dead)
When we pretend that we're dead 

(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)

When we pretend that we're dead
(pretend we're dead)
When we pretend that we're dead
(pretend we're dead) 
They can't hear a word we've said 
(pretend we're dead)
When we pretend that we're dead

HELLRAISER by OZZY OSBOURNE
From his Album "No More Tears" released in 1991

I'm living on an endless road
Around the world for rock and roll
Sometimes it feels so tough
But I still ain't had enough
I keep saying that it's getting too much
But I know I'm a liar
Feeling all right in the noise and the light
But that's what lights my fire

Hellraiser,
In the thunder and heat
Hellraiser,
Rock you back in your seat
Hellraiser,
And I'll make it come true
Hellraiser,
I'll put a spell on you

Walking out on another stage,
Another town, another place
Sometimes I don't feel right
Nerves wound up too damn tight
People keep telling me it's bad for my health
But kicking back don't make it
Out of control,
I play the ultimate role
But that's what lights my fire

Hellraiser,
In the thunder and heat
Hellraiser,
Rock you back in your seat
Hellraiser,
And I'll make it come true
Hellraiser,
I'll put a spell on you

I'm living on an endless road
Around the world for rock and roll
Sometimes it feels so tough
But I still ain't had enough
I keep saying that it's getting too much
But I know I'm a liar
Feeling all right in the noise and the light
But that's what lights my fire

Hellraiser,
In the thunder and heat
Hellraiser,
Rock you back in your seat
Hellraiser,
And I'll make it come true
Hellraiser,
I'll put a spell on you

=====================================
RUSTY CAGE by SOUNDGARDEN
From thier Album "Badmotorfinger" released in 1991

You wired me awake
and hit me with a hand of broken nails
you tied my lead and pulled my chain
to watch my blood begin to boil

But i'm gonna break
i'm gonna break my
i'm gonna break my rusty cage

Yeah, i'm gonna break
i'm gonna break my
i'm gonna break my rusty cage
and run

Too cold to start a fire
i'm burning diesel burning dinosaur bones
i'll take the river down to still water
and ride a pack of dogs

But i'm gonna break
i'm gonna break my
i'm gonna break my rusty cage

Yeah, i'm gonna break
i'm gonna break my
i'm gonna break my rusty cage
and run

Hits like a phillips head into my brain
it's gonna be too dark to sleep again
cutting my teeth on bars and rusty chains
i'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

When the forest burns along the road
like God's eyes in my headlights
when the dogs are looking for their bones
and it's raining ice picks on your steel shore

But i'm gonna break
i'm gonna break my
i'm gonna break my rusty cage

Yeah, i'm gonna break
i'm gonna break my
i'm gonna break my rusty cage
and run

BEEN CAUGHT STEALING by JANES ADDICTION
From their Album "Ritual De Lo Habitual" released in 1990

I've been caught stealing; 
once when I was 5... 
I enjoy stealing. 
It's just as simple as that.
Well, it's just a simple fact. 
When I want something,
I don't want to pay for it. 

I walk right through the door. 
Walk right through the door. 
Hey all right! If I get by, it's mine. 
Mine all mine! 

My girl, she's one too.
She'll go and get her a skirt. 
Stick it under her shirt. 
She grabbed a razor for me. 
And she did it just like that. 
When she wants something,
She don't want to pay for it. 

She walk right through the door. 
Walk right through the door.
Hey all right! If I get by, it's mine.
Mine all mine!

We sat around the pile. 
We sat and laughed. 
We sat and laughed and
Waved it into the air! 
And we did it just like that. 
When we want something,
We don't want to pay for it.

We walk right through the door. 
Walk right through the door. 
Hey, all right! If I get by, it's mine,
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine...

FOOLS GOLD by THE STONE ROSES
From their Album "Turns into Stone" released in 1992

The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife

The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife 

I'm no clown I won't back down
I don't need you to tell me what's going down
Down down down down da down down down
Down down down down da down down down

I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold 

These boots were made for walking
The Marquis de Sade don't wear no boots like these
Gold's just around the corner
Breakdown's coming up round the bend 

Sometimes you have to try to get along dear
I know the truth and I know what you're thinking 

Down down down down da down down down 

I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold 

Fool's gold 

I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold

THEM BONES by ALICE IN CHAINS
From their Album "Dirt" released in 1992

I believe them bones are me
Some say we're born into the grave

I feel so alone, gon' end up a
Big ole pile a them bones

Dust rise right on over my time
Empty fossil of the new scene

I feel so alone, gon' end up a
Big ole pile a them bones

Toll due bad dreams come true
I lie dead gone under red sky

I feel so alone, gon' end up a
Big ole pile a them...
I feel so alone, gon' end up a
Big ole pile a them...
I feel so alone, gon' end up a
Big ole pile a them bones

PLUSH by STONE TEMPLE PILOTS
From their Album "Core" released in 1992

And I feel that time's a wasted go
So where ya going to tomorrow?
And I see that these are lies to come
Would you even care?

And I feel it
And I feel it

Where ya going for tomorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?

And I feel, so much depends on the weather
So is it raining in your bedroom?
And I see, that these are the eyes of disarray
Would you even care?

And I feel it
And she feels it

Where ya going to tomorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?

When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it

Where ya going for tomorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?

When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
To find it
To find it
To find it

              04 --- SONGS LEFT OUT?
              ***************************
There are alot of bands and songs that should have been put into the game.
I dont know why Nirvana or Pearl Jam were left out, why there wasnt any
ACDC, or why they didnt have more GNR, or RATM (since they had alot 
of Dr. Dre tracks on another station).  Still, the songs they have put in
the game are a very good selection.
