Alannah Myles - Our World Our Times Lyrics
Little tramp comin' up the strip with a hundred dollar smile
Sparks flyin' off her fingertips, drive the young cop wild
Some nights are wound so tight like a storm about to break
Better stand in your doorway when everything starts to shake
Hungry, never quite satisfied
[Chorus:]
This is our world and these are our times
This is our world and these are our times
Little brother like a street god with a drop dead attitude
Say he's looking like a shadow now, runnin' low on green and food
Some lives are wound up tight like a wave about to crash
Hard times seem to multiply while the joy runs out so fast
You get restless like a kid crawling out of a bad dream
Hungry, never quite satisfied
[chorus repeats 2x]
[Solo]
Make way for the son of a rebel wired to a bottle of flame
He's got two black eyes and a purple heart and a bone hangin' on a chain
These times are like dynamite, a head-on with history
Some fool's bound to burn it all down, don't care about you and me
He'll get desperate like a child in the eye of a nightmare
Hungry, never quite satisfied
[chorus repeats 2x]

This is whose world what kind of hunger why are you waking up midnight are you going to hunt is it blood that you're after what are you referring to. Don't think too hard you might come up with an answer. Sounds like she's a victim. Turn. I wish this was only a song. This is a confession in my opinion. The line before she says and I no longer eating food. What does that mean I wish it was just some song.
This is so damn good, I don't know what to say....so....I'll shut up and dig it....
Always new her. Didnt know she kicked ASS LIKE THIS . SGE WAS DEFINITELY SLEPT ON. THIS IS A SHAME .ALANNAH IS AWSOME !!!!!
That part with two layers of her voice is absolutely brillant 1:44
Still her best song of all times.
The greatest Singer in all times :) ,in every song she gives life

My crazy white-rivers rafter's team anthem song. We have aged. This song not.
awesome track...love the bass intro....reminds me of roxette
Alannah Myles and Julianna Margulies look like they could be sisters.
One of the greatest album openers ever.
i love you,,honey baby,,
This is without doubt one of the most sensual songs I have heard.
i am ready,,,
Our World Our Times
Under appreciated! Her music is great! Each of her songs are different, definitely not mass-produced, and she has a great voice too. Such a pity we didn't hear more of her at the time.
Tolle Frau.Super Sound,wurde früher im Aladin Bremen gespielt.
For me, Rockinghorse is a lost and cruelly underrated classic. Far more consistent than her debut. In my top 3 all time favourite albums ❤️
Looooomiiiiiii !
Great tune,love it!
one of the handful of true rockers whose beauty matched her talent!!
One of my favorite songs! Love the beat!
What an awesome song. Love this.
A true rock n roll front woman . Up there with the greats. She shoulda went the distance .
It is unreal how much better she is than more celebrated women like Joplin and Nicks.
Go Girl.
I think, this was her best song ever, besides "Black Velvet"
Love is
This is so sexy.
I like this-And of course-HER.
our city has been poisoned with evil, this revealing prophecy is at hand here in Toronto, please pray for our city, we are in a bad dream and need to make our city peaceful, please help us with prayer
this one is my favourite, it is a song of revelation, she was way ahead of her times, it is a prophecy
This tune rocks.
GOOD JOB ....OMG
Awesome.
Aladin Bremen,ende der 80er.Einfach Super.
GREAT GREAT SONG AND LOVE YOU,,THE WORLD SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR SONGS AND YOUR YOUR WORDS...LOVE IS ALL....
Aladin Bremen in den 80 ern,da ging die Post ab.Einfach Super
Tolle Frau,toller Sound

Who sing this song ITS NOT FAIR IM DELIGHTED
Excellent as always! 👍💞💝☺💅💪
Much better than the awful "Black Velvet".
Love my hometown girl 😘😘😘😘
The best ones are often underrated.
Damn I forgot how powerful this song is. By far better then the nevertheless great Black Velvet.
love you <3 love this song so much so powefull !!!
Silly thoughts: "All that dust was getting into her beautiful eyes , mouth and throat". Awesome Alannah, as usually
J'adore cette chanson !
OMG.... the best rocking Lady in the world ...for ever..i'm speechless
Belle et superbe voix et si peu de vues pour ce clip, ?
Great intro.... That yell or roar slowly fading in.....
Alannah owned female rock and roll through the 90's
Truly an underrated artist. Such a voice! She is so much more than Black Velvet.
🔥📝🔥❤️🔥🎼🔥
J'adore ! good !
Is that a guy's voice or is it actually Alannah's voice distorted?
Alannah on tour again, still waiting
My favourite song from the Rockinghorse album. And the video is foot-stomping, dirt-kicking awesome! Such a beautiful badass you are Alannah Myles!
It breaks my heart to watch these amazing performances and realize that her record company let her down. Alannah is THE premiere Rock Goddess. But no one knew it because she was not promoted. She is my all-time favorite artist and this is my favorite track from the "Rocking Horse" album.
Me too, i love this song
best ever
This is an amazing song! This fit in well in '92 with the alt-rock, grunge musical trend in rock. She reminds me of Julianna Margulies too. :)
Really good song!
Just realized that this seems influenced by Another brick in the wall.
Ohne Worte absolute Bombe!
Die beste Hardrockstimme von einer Frau! Aber Leider nur zwei Superalben !
BEAT 🎸
I love Alannah I have the first studio album and the second too
I never understand why the second album don't have the same success as the first. Some say that the album don't have the same sound of the first studio album like songs with southern rock. But it's not true. The second album have diverse genres of rock. Like Adult Oriented Rock, hard rock, rock, pop and alternative. The first album have Adult Oriented Rock, hard rock, southern rock.
I think the album did not have the same success because when it came out the world was fascinated with the grunge and alternative scene. If the album came out in 1991, things could be different.
PISS POOR PHOTOGRAPHY.
x icuii
Have loved Alannah for many many years. my fave female vocalist. powerful, raspy but sexy voice. seen her a few years back and sounds the same she did 20 years ago.
Exquisitely beautiful woman with a powerful voice. Dreams are made of this! Good luck Alannah!
maybe 20 years of not hear this song...
anyone knows if this was part of a soundtrack sometime?, maybe from there I have listened.
CLASS ACT.-CANADA.
Restless like a cat waking up at midnight
Like A Pink PANTERA
I don't know which I like better, the song or the video....love'm both!! I love the shot of her near the end when she's slowly turning toward the camera (about 4:18 or so)....sexy as hell !
