After Hot Holidays his next album should be something theatric maybe, "Escape From The Good Old U.S.A"! Similar to HIAH, EFTGOU (Escape From The Good Old U.S.A) would be about how things change.
It would start have the following tracks.
Track 1 - Blood for Love - (6:01) (A song about a man who is dealing with his wife who had his children but continues to sell herself).
Track 2 - I Am Going To Kill You God - (4:23) (A ballad about a man's shattered faith for losing everything chasing his dreams)
Track 3 - Lawyers, Guns, and Money - (4:04) (A cover song he did live that he should reall put on an album)
Track 4 - I Pledge Myself (For What I Can Get) - (3:45) (About a former army man turned mercenary to pay for his back taxes).
Track 5 - Escape From The Good Old U.S.A (Gonna' Make The Scene) - (6:29) (The title song about the American dream "meatloaf and apple pie for desert", and how its becoming a nostalgic feeling).
Track 6 - Slaves Be Damned - (5:54) (A Duet-Ballad with Leonard Cohen but its a pretty crazy song about Abe Lincon returning from the grave to end modern slavery of the working class).
Track 7 - Hear Me In The Night - (2:01) (A short melody about having trust in God and Man "if God is dead and buried, then please brother hear me").
Track 8 - It Is Too Late For Us But It's Not Too Soon - (4:54) (A Closing about how it is too late to help the old and weary of the world but it's not to soon for the next generation. Its basically a plead for change for the better).
So yeah that is what I'd think would make a fitting album for Meat Loaf. Oh and the cover of the album should be Uncle Sam fighting with an angle of death over his open grave.
