Alberta
Alberta /ælˈbɜrtə/ is a province of Canada. It had a population of 3,645,257 in 2011, making it the most populous of Canada's three prairie provinces. Alberta and its neighbour, Saskatchewan, were established as provinces on September 1, 1905.
Alberta is located in western Canada, bounded by the provinces of British Columbia to the west and Saskatchewan to the east, the Northwest Territories to the north, and the US state of Montana to the south. Alberta is one of three Canadian provinces and territories to border only a single U.S. state and is also one of only two provinces that are landlocked.
Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta, is located near the geographic centre of the province and is the primary supply and service hub for Canada's oil sands and other northern resource industries. Approximately 300 kilometres (190 mi) south of the capital is Calgary, Alberta's largest city and a major distribution and transportation hub. Calgary and Edmonton centre Alberta's two census metropolitan areas, both of which have populations exceeding 1 million.Census agglomerations in the province include Lethbridge, Red Deer, Medicine Hat, Wood Buffalo (includes Fort McMurray), Grande Prairie, Lloydminster, Okotoks, Brooks, Camrose, Cold Lake, High River, Sylvan Lake, Wetaskiwin, Strathmore, Canmore, and Lacombe. Notable tourist destinations in the province include Canmore, Sylvan Lake, Drumheller, Banff, and Jasper.

Argentina
Argentina
i/ˌɑrdʒənˈtiːnə/, officially the Argentine Republic (Spanish: República Argentina [reˈpuβlika aɾxenˈtina]), is a country in South America, the continent's second largest by land area, after Brazil. It is constituted as a federation of 23 provinces and an autonomous city, Buenos Aires. It is the eighth-largest country in the world by land area and the largest among Spanish-speaking nations.
Argentina's continental area is between the Andes mountain range in the west and the Atlantic Ocean in the east. It borders Paraguay and Bolivia to the north, Brazil and Uruguay to the northeast, and Chile to the west and south. Argentine claims over Antarctica, as well as overlapping claims made by Chile and the United Kingdom, are suspended by the Antarctic Treaty of 1961. Argentina also claims the Falkland Islands (Spanish: Islas Malvinas) and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, which are administered by the United Kingdom as British Overseas Territories.
A recognised middle power, Argentina is Latin America's third-largest economy, with a "very high" rating on the Human development index. Within Latin America, Argentina has the fifth highest nominal GDP per capita and the highest in purchasing power terms. Analysts have argued that the country has a "foundation for future growth due to its market size, levels of foreign direct investment, and percentage of high-tech exports as share of total manufactured goods", and it is classed by investors as middle emerging economy. Argentina is a founding member of the United Nations, Mercosur, the Union of South American Nations, the Organization of Ibero-American States, the World Bank Group and the World Trade Organization, and is one of the G-15 and G-20 major economies.

Belgium
Belgium (i/ˈbɛldʒəm/ BEL-jəm), officially the Kingdom of Belgium, is a federal state in Western Europe. It is a founding member of the European Union and hosts the EU's headquarters, and those of several other major international organisations such as NATO. Belgium covers an area of 30,528 square kilometres (11,787 sq mi), and it has a population of about 11 million people. Straddling the cultural boundary between Germanic and Latin Europe, Belgium is home to two main linguistic groups, the Dutch-speakers, mostly Flemish (about 60%), and the French-speakers, mostly Walloons (about 40%), plus a small group of German-speakers. Belgium's two largest regions are the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in the north and the French-speaking southern region of Wallonia. The Brussels-Capital Region, officially bilingual, is a mostly French-speaking enclave within the Flemish Region. A German-speaking Community exists in eastern Wallonia. Belgium's linguistic diversity and related political conflicts are reflected in the political history and a complex system of government.

Brisbane
Brisbane (
/ˈbrɪzbən/) is the capital and most populous city in the Australian state of Queensland and the third most populous city in Australia. Brisbane's metropolitan area has a population of approximately 2.1 million, and the South East Queensland urban conurbation, centred around Brisbane, encompasses a population of more than 3 million. The Brisbane central business district stands on the original European settlement and is situated inside a bend of the Brisbane River, approximately 23 km (14 mi) from its mouth at Moreton Bay. The metropolitan area extends in all directions along the floodplain of the Brisbane River valley between the bay and the Great Dividing Range. While the metropolitan area is governed by several municipalities, a large portion of central Brisbane is governed by the Brisbane City Council, which is by far Australia's largest Local Government Area by population. The demonym of Brisbane is Brisbanite.
Brisbane is named after the river on which it sits, which, in turn, was named after Scotsman Sir Thomas Brisbane, the Governor of New South Wales from 1821 to 1825. The first European settlement in Queensland was a penal colony at Redcliffe, 28 kilometres (17 mi) north of the Brisbane central business district, in 1824. That settlement was soon abandoned and moved to North Quay in 1825. Free settlers were permitted from 1842. Brisbane was chosen as the capital when Queensland was proclaimed a separate colony from New South Wales in 1859.

Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires ( /ˈbweɪnəs ˈɛəriːz/ or /ˈaɪrɪs/,Spanish: [ˈbwenos ˈaiɾes]) is the capital and largest city of Argentina, and the second-largest metropolitan area in South America, after Greater Sao Paulo. It is located on the western shore of the estuary of the Río de la Plata, on the southeastern coast of the South American continent. Greater Buenos Aires conurbation, which also includes several Buenos Aires Province districts, constitutes the third-largest conurbation in Latin America, with a population of around thirteen million.
The city of Buenos Aires is not a part of Buenos Aires Province, nor is it the Province's capital, but an autonomous district. In 1880, after decades of political infighting, Buenos Aires was federalised and removed from Buenos Aires Province. The city limits were enlarged to include the towns of Belgrano and Flores (both are currently neighborhoods of the city). The 1994 constitutional amendment granted the city autonomy, hence its formal name: Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (Autonomous City of Buenos Aires). Its citizens first elected a Chief of Government (i.e. Mayor) in 1996; before, the Mayor was directly appointed by the President of the Republic.

Download Festival
The Download Festival is a three day rock music festival held annually at Donington Park, England (which hosted Monsters of Rock between 1980 and 1996, and 2002's Ozzfest). It usually takes place in June (although in 2003, the first day of the festival took place on the last day of May). The festival is owned and managed by Live Nation.
The Download Festival was conceived as a follow up to the Monsters of Rock festivals which had been held in at the Donington Park circuit between 1980 and 1996. Rather than run as a single day event Download was initially a two day event, expanding to three days in 2005.
The name Download was chosen for the festival for two reasons. Downloading was a dirty word in the music industry at the time, due to file sharing, and rock is seen as a rebellious genre of music. The organizers faced pressure from the rest of the industry, with some even claiming that the Download Festival would "destroy the music industry".[citation needed] Also Download was to be a Monsters Of Rock for the 21st century and the internet would provide connectivity with its audience.

Edmonton
Edmonton /ˈɛdməntən/ is the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta, Canada. Edmonton is located on the North Saskatchewan River and is the centre of the Edmonton Capital Region, which is surrounded by the central region of the province.
The city and its census metropolitan area had populations of 812,201 and 1,159,869 as of the 2011 Census respectively, making it Alberta's second-largest city, Canada's fifth-largest municipality and Canada's sixth-largest metropolitan area by population. Edmonton is the northernmost North American city with a metropolitan population over one million. A resident of Edmonton is known as an Edmontonian.
The majority of Edmonton's metropolitan population lives within the City of Edmonton rather than in the surrounding suburban municipalities. Historically, Edmonton was surrounded by few other urban municipalities (Strathcona, Beverly and Jasper Place being the largest) but these were absorbed through amalgamation or annexation. Edmonton annexed a significant amount of land up until the early 1980s, and as a result it has sustained much of the region's suburban growth within its own boundaries.

Residents of Indiana are known as Hoosiers. The etymology of the word is disputed, but the leading theory as advanced by the Indiana Historical Bureau and the Indiana Historical Society has "Hoosier" originating from the upland South region of the U.S. as a derogatory slang term for a rough countryman, a country bumpkin.

Las Vegas Valley
The Las Vegas Valley is a metropolitan area in the southern part of the US state of Nevada, and is the heart of the Las Vegas–Paradise, NV MSA also known as the Las Vegas–Paradise–Henderson MSA which includes all of Clark County, Nevada. The Valley is defined by the Las Vegas Valley landform, a 600 sq mi (1,600 km2) basin area that contains the largest concentration of people in the state. The history of the Valley significantly intertwines with the history of the city of Las Vegas and one of the two primary cities (as used by the census bureau) in the MSA, with the other being Paradise. The valley is home to the three largest incorporated cities in Nevada: Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas.
The names Las Vegas and Vegas are used to indicate the valley, the strip, the city and are used as a brand by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and used to denominate the entire region.

Manitoba
Manitobai/ˌmænəˈtoʊbə/ is a Canadian prairie province. The province, with an area of 649,950 square kilometres (250,900 sq mi), has a largely continental climate because of its flat topography. Agriculture, mostly concentrated in the fertile southern and western parts of the province, is vital to the province's economy; other major industries are transportation, manufacturing, mining, forestry, energy, and tourism.
Manitoba's capital and largest city, Winnipeg, is Canada's eighth-largest Census Metropolitan Area, and home to 60 percent of the population of the province. Winnipeg is the seat of government, home to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba and the highest court in the jurisdiction, the Manitoba Court of Appeal. Four of the province's five universities, all four of its professional sports teams, and most of its cultural activities are located in Winnipeg.
Fur traders first arrived during the late 17th century. Manitoba became a province of Canada in 1870 after the Red River Rebellion. A general strike took place in Winnipeg in 1919, and the province was hit hard by the Great Depression. This led to the creation of what would become the New Democratic Party of Manitoba, one of the province's major political parties and currently in power, led by premier Greg Selinger.

Minnesota
Minnesota (i/mɪnɨˈsoʊtə/) is a U.S. state located in the Midwestern United States. Minnesota was carved out of the eastern half of the Minnesota Territory and admitted to the Union as the thirty-second state on May 11, 1858. Known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes", the state's name comes from a Dakota word for "sky-tinted water". Those waters, together with forests, parks, and wilderness areas, offer residents and tourists a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities.
Minnesota is the 12th most extensive and the 21st most populous of the U.S. states. Nearly 60% of its residents live in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area (known as the "Twin Cities"), the center of transportation, business, industry and education and home to an internationally known arts community. The remainder of the state consists of western prairies now given over to intensive agriculture; deciduous forests in the southeast, now cleared, farmed and settled; and the less populated North Woods, used for mining, forestry, and recreation.

North Dakota
North Dakota (i/ˌnɔrθ dəˈkoʊtə/) is a state located in the Midwestern region of the United States, along the Canadian border. The state is bordered by Manitoba and Saskatchewan to the north, Minnesota to the east, South Dakota to the south and Montana to the west. North Dakota is the 19th most extensive, but the 3rd least populous and the 4th least densely populated of the 50 United States.

For more than a decade, the state has had a strong economy, with unemployment lower than the national average, job and population growth, and low housing vacancies. Much of the growth has been based on development of the Bakken oil shale fields in the western part of the state, but it has also had growth in the technology and service sectors. Flooding in June 2011 has caused extensive damage to Minot and threatened Bismarck, the capital city.

Ohio
Ohio (i/oʊˈhaɪ.oʊ/) is a state in the Midwestern United States. Ohio is the 34th most extensive, the 7th most populous, and the 10th most densely populated of the 50 United States. The state's capital and largest city is Columbus.

Although there are conflicting narratives regarding the origin of the nickname, Ohio is historically known as the "Buckeye State" (relating to the Ohio buckeye tree) and Ohioans are also known as "Buckeyes".
The government of Ohio is composed of the executive branch, led by the Governor; the legislative branch, which comprises the Ohio General Assembly; and the judicial branch, which is led by the Supreme Court. Currently, Ohio occupies 18 seats in the United States House of Representatives. Ohio is known for its status as both a swing state and a bellwether in national elections.

Schutzstaffel
The Schutzstaffel (German pronunciation: [ˈʃʊtsʃtafəl] (
listen), translated to Protection Squadron or defence corps, abbreviated SS—or 
with stylized "Armanen" sig runes) was a major paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. Built upon the Nazi ideology, the SS under Heinrich Himmler's command was responsible for many of the crimes against humanity during World War II (1939–1945). After 1945, the SS was banned in Germany, along with the Nazi Party, as a criminal organization.
The SS began as a small permanent guard unit made up of NSDAP volunteers to provide security for Nazi Party meetings in Munich. Formed at the end of 1920, they were known as the "Saal-Schutz" (Hall-Protection). Later under the leadership of Heinrich Himmler between 1929 and 1945, the SS was renamed the "Schutz-Staffel" and grew from a small paramilitary formation to one of the largest and most powerful organizations in the Third Reich.
The SS grew from a small paramilitary unit to a powerful force that served as the Führer's "Praetorian Guard", the Nazi Party's "Protection Squadron" and a force that, fielding almost a million men (both on the front lines and as political police), managed to exert as much political influence in the Third Reich as the Wehrmacht (Germany's regular armed forces).

Wyoming
Wyoming (i/waɪˈoʊmɪŋ/) is a state in the mountain region of the Western United States. Wyoming is the 10th most extensive, but the least populous and the 2nd least densely populated of the 50 States. The western two thirds of the state is covered mostly with the mountain ranges and rangelands in the foothills of the Eastern Rocky Mountains, while the eastern third of the state is high elevation prairie known as the High Plains. Cheyenne is the capital and the most populous city of Wyoming with a population of nearly 60,000 people within its city proper.
As specified in the designating legislation for the Territory of Wyoming, Wyoming's borders are lines of latitude, 41°N and 45°N, and longitude, 104°3'W and 111°3'W (27° W and 34° W of the Washington Meridian), making the shape of the state a latitude-longitude quadrangle. Wyoming is one of only three states (along with Colorado and Utah) to have borders along only straight latitudinal and longitudinal lines, rather than being defined by natural landmarks. Due to surveying inaccuracies during the 19th century, Wyoming's legal border deviates from the true latitude and longitude lines by up to half of a mile (.8 km) in some spots, especially in the mountainous region along the 45th parallel. Wyoming is bordered on the north by Montana, on the east by South Dakota and Nebraska, on the south by Colorado, on the southwest by Utah, and on the west by Idaho. It is the ninth largest state in the United States in total area, containing 97,818 square miles (253,350 km2) and is made up of 23 counties. From the north border to the south border it is 276 miles (444 km); and from the east to the west border is 365 miles (587 km) at its south end and 342 miles (550 km) at the north end.

Bischoff at first worked in the sales department on the AWA's syndicated programming, and became an on-air personality virtually by accident and at the last minute. Larry Nelson, whom at the time was employed by the AWA as an announcer, was arrested under suspicion of a DUI. Because of Nelson's sudden unavailability, Verne Gagne and his son, Greg, opted to recruit Bischoff (who initially had no desire to be in front of the camera) to fill-in on the interviews. Bischoff believed that the Gagnes thought that he would be a good replacement due to his immediate availability in the television studio, and the fact that he was already wearing a suit and tie.

Caravello played with a string of bands mostly performing covers of well-known songs before joining Kiss. The first band, "The Cellarmen", was formed in 1965 by him and a couple of friends. They started playing local clubs in Brooklyn and Queens. Only a handful of recordings were made, released on the "Jody" label, a small Brooklyn recording studio. Caravello then joined a band called "Things That Go Bump In The Night" and later "Smack", the latter of which consisted mostly of members from "The Cellarmen", who disbanded in 1968.
"Salt & Pepper" was Caravello's next cover band, playing music from multiple genres. He would go on with this band for nine years.

Lita Ford
Lita Rossanna Ford (born 19 September 1958) is a British-born, American rock musician and singer who was the lead guitarist for The Runaways and achieved popularity for her solo career between the 1980s and early 2010s.
Lita Ford was born Lita Rossana Ford to a British father and an Italian mother in London, England. She moved with her family to the United States at the age of 4 and began playing the guitar at the age of 11. Her vocal range is mezzo-soprano.
In 1975 at the age of 16 she joined the all-female rock band The Runaways, for whom she played lead guitar. They then scored a record deal and released their first album in 1976.
It was not long before the all-girl formation caught the eye of the media. Lita Ford's guitar skills made her a driving force in the band and a permanent member from her arrival to the band's eventual break-up.
In 1979, disagreements were erupting within the band, who had since parted ways with producer Kim Fowley, lead singer Cherie Currie and bassist Jackie Fox. Rhythm guitarist Joan Jett wanted the band to shift more towards Ramones-influenced punk music while Ford and drummer Sandy West wanted to continue playing hard rock-oriented songs. With neither side being able to compromise, the band finally broke up that year.

Louis Armstrong
Louis Armstrong (August 4, 1901 – July 6, 1971), nicknamed Satchmo or Pops, was an American jazz trumpeter and singer from New Orleans, Louisiana.
Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an "inventive" cornet and trumpet player, Armstrong was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the music's focus from collective improvisation to solo performance. With his instantly recognizable deep and distinctive gravelly voice, Armstrong was also an influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser, bending the lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes. He was also greatly skilled at scat singing (vocalizing using sounds and syllables instead of actual lyrics).
Renowned for his charismatic stage presence and voice almost as much as for his trumpet-playing, Armstrong's influence extends well beyond jazz music, and by the end of his career in the 1960s, he was widely regarded as a profound influence on popular music in general. Armstrong was one of the first truly popular African-American entertainers to "cross over," whose skin-color was secondary to his music in an America that was severely racially divided. It allowed him socially acceptable access to the upper echelons of American society that were highly restricted for a black man. While he rarely publicly politicized his race, often to the dismay of fellow African-Americans, he was privately a strong supporter of the Civil Rights movement in America.[citation needed]

In later years, Hamilton made frequent cameo appearances on television sitcoms and commercials. She also gained recognition for her work as an advocate of causes designed to benefit children and animals, and retained a lifelong commitment to public education.
Hamilton was born to Walter J. Hamilton and his wife, Jennie (née Adams), in Cleveland, Ohio and was the youngest of four children. She later attended Hathaway Brown School in Shaker Heights, Ohio. Drawn to the theater at an early age, Hamilton made her stage debut in 1923. Hamilton also practiced her craft doing children's theater while she was a Junior League of Cleveland member. She later moved to Painesville, Ohio. Before she turned to acting exclusively, her parents insisted she attend Wheelock College in Boston, which she did, later becoming a kindergarten teacher.[citation needed]

Mike Douglas (August 11, 1925 – August 11, 2006) was an American "Big Band" era singer, entertainer, and television talk show host.
Douglas was born Michael Delaney Dowd, Jr., in Chicago, Illinois, and began singing as a choirboy. By his teens he was working as a singer on a Lake Michigan dinner cruise ship. After serving briefly in the United States Navy near the end of World War II and as a "staff singer" for WMAQ-TV in Chicago, he moved to Los Angeles. He was on the Ginny Simms radio show. Then, he became a vocalist in the big band of Kay Kyser, with whom he was featured on two notable hits, "Ole [or Old] Buttermilk Sky" in 1946 and "The Old Lamplighter" the following year. Kyser was responsible for giving him his show business name, and he remained part of Kyser's band until Kyser retired from show business in 1951. In 1950, he provided the singing voice of Prince Charming in Walt Disney's Cinderella. In 1950s Douglas, living in Burbank, California, tried to keep his singing career going, working as house singer for a nightclub and going on the road to stay busy. He preferred not to switch to rock and roll, which limited his opportunities as big band music was declining in popularity. In the leanest years, he and his wife survived by successfully "flipping" their Los Angeles homes.

Mikel Japp
Michael C Japp (November 15, 1952 – January 31, 2012) was a Welsh musician and songwriter.
Japp joined May Fisher, a Llanelli-based band, just before it was taken up by a London rock and pop music agency - through a friend who went on to establish 3PR - and sent on an extended and successful tour of Yugoslavia under a new name: Thank You. On their return, Thank You supported Joe Brown's Browns Home Brew and Marmalade on UK tours, as well as playing leading university and college dates. His aggressive, abrupt rock guitar style was first captured on recordings made by Joe Brown at his Essex recording studio. These were never released due to apparent difficulties in finding a vocal style from the band's two singers.
Japp had, however, made a strong impression on Marmalade and was invited to join this successful group to replace Hugh Nicolson. He toured extensively with the band but no recordings made during his tenure achieved chart status.
He also wrote/co-wrote songs for such artists as Paul Stanley, Kiss and The Babys, and worked with other musicians such as Matthew Fisher and John Waite.

Ron Nevison
Multi-platinum record producer Ron Nevison, throughout his career, has operated much like a surgeon, brought in during a critical point in a band's career to bring them back to the top from the commercial brink. Whether kick-starting a stalled hit maker like Jefferson Airplane back into flight as Jefferson Starship, or breathing fresh air back into an outdated band's sound- such as was the case with Heart and Chicago, via seminal 1980s Billboard # 1 ballads like "These Dreams" and "Look Away", respectively, Ron has rarely had a patient- metaphorically speaking- that he could not heal with his multi-platinum production touch.
Critics first took note of Ron's exceptional ear far ahead of many of his pop-rock peers, with one prominent example of the latter being Rolling Stone Magazine's observation in their 1973 review of The Who's Quadrophenia, which he engineered, that the album had been "magnificently recorded." Nevison's profile continued to rise through the mid-1970s as he helped to sonically shape a new generation of AOR rock via his engineering work on the first 3 Bad Company's LPs, Thin Lizzy, and perhaps most notably on Led Zeppelin's 1975 Physical Graffiti LP among a host of others. In addition to the aforementioned radio re-invention of Jefferson Starship via late 70s and early 80s hits like "Jane", Ron's transition into head producer for groups like The Babys, Traffic's Dave Mason (which produced the hit single "We Just Disagree"), UFO, and Eddie Money cemented his status as one of the industry's most in-demand hit record producers.

Tarzan
Tarzan is a fictional character, an archetypal feral child raised in the African jungles by the Mangani "great apes"; he later experiences civilization only to largely reject it and return to the wild as a heroic adventurer. Created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan first appeared in the novel Tarzan of the Apes (magazine publication 1912, book publication 1914), and then in twenty-five sequels, three authorized books by other authors, and innumerable works in other media, authorized or not.
Tarzan is the son of a British Lord and Lady who were marooned on the Atlantic coast of Africa by mutineers. When Tarzan was only an infant, his mother died of natural causes and his father was killed by Kerchak, leader of the ape tribe by whom Tarzan was adopted. Tarzan's tribe of apes is known as the Mangani, Great Apes of a species unknown to science. Kala is his ape mother. Burroughs added stories occurring during Tarzan's adolescence in his sixth Tarzan book, Jungle Tales of Tarzan. Tarzan is his ape name; his real English name is John Clayton, Earl Greystoke (the formal title is Viscount Greystoke according to Burroughs in Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle; Earl of Greystoke in later, non-canonical sources, notably the 1984 movie Greystoke). In fact, Burroughs's narrator in Tarzan of the Apes describes both Clayton and Greystoke as fictitious names – implying that, within the fictional world that Tarzan inhabits, he may have a different real name.

Vincent picked up the guitar at an early age and was inspired by bluegrass and rock and roll. In 1980, Vincent moved to Los Angeles, California where he became a staff songwriter for the television series Happy Days and Joanie Loves Chachi where many of the series songs were written on Vincent's acoustic guitar while sitting at the "Cunningham's" kitchen table on the "Happy Days" set, during off-time from the show's rehearsal schedule. Vincent has said the times of working at the Paramount lot were genuinely "happy days". According to the site "Kiss Related Recordings", Vincent has played with the bands Hunter, Warrior, Hitchhikers, and Heat going as far back as 1970.
After befriending Gene Simmons, Vincent was brought in as the replacement for guitarist Ace Frehley. Vincent's personality meshed well with Simmons and Paul Stanley. However, Vincent's refusal to sign the employment contract strained the relationship. Due partly to disputes over what his role in the band was and his pay would be (some reports indicated that Vincent had asked for, and was flatly denied, a percentage of the band's gross profits), and despite the exhortations of both Simmons and Stanley, all through his tenure with the band Vincent refused to sign any contract making his employment official. This ultimately lead to Vincent leaving the band after the European leg of the "Lick It Up" tour.

Yngwie Malmsteen
Yngwie Johann Malmsteen (/ˈɪŋveɪ ˈmɑːlmstiːn/ ING-vay MAHLM-steen; born Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck on 30 June 1963) is a Swedish guitarist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and bandleader. Malmsteen became known for his neo-classical playing style in heavy metal. Steve Huey of Allmusic stated that, "Yngwie Malmsteen is arguably the most technically accomplished hard rock guitarist to emerge during the '80s."
Malmsteen was born Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck in Stockholm, Sweden, as the second child of a musically-talented family. At age seven, he saw a television news report on the death of Jimi Hendrix, an event which had a profound impact on his musical path. Malmsteen, however, has stated that Hendrix had no musical impact on him, but on 18 September 1970 he saw a TV special of Hendrix, where he smashed and burned his guitar, and Malmsteen thought: "this is really cool". To quote his official website, "The day Jimi Hendrix died, the guitar-playing Yngwie was born".
At the age of 10 he took his mother's maiden name Malmsten as his surname, slightly changed it to Malmsteen, and Anglicised his third given name Yngve to "Yngwie". Malmsteen created his first band "Track On Earth" at the age of 10, consisting of himself and a friend from school on drums (Armin). Malmsteen was a teenager when he first encountered the music of the 19th century violinist composer Niccolò Paganini, whom he cites as his biggest classical music influence. Ritchie Blackmore and Uli Jon Roth are also cited as being significant influences, as is Brian May of Queen.

But if you gotta go, then you gotta know that it's killing me
And all the things I never seem to show, I gotta make you see
Girl it's been so long, (tell me) how could it be
One of us knows the two of us don't belong in each others company
It hurts so much inside, your telling me goodbye, you wanna be free

I gotta make you see, I gotta make you see, I gotta make you see

But I'm dreamin' a lie, dreamin' a lie, makes me wanna die
'Cause I still love you, I still love you

And when I think of all the things you'll never know
There's so much left to say

Ooh, she'll cut you clean
Then she'll watch you bleed
So obscene, she's what I need
She loves to hear me scream, yeah
Black lace, stiletto heels, she's a killer
Crack the whip, submission trip, she's a killer
Ooh, cat in heat, mistress of deceit
Nerves of steel, her next meal
She's searching for the meat
She's a killer, stone cold killer
Killer, stone cold killer
Watch out for your jugular vein, she's a killer
Animal with a twisted brain, she's a killer
Ooh, she guarantees, you'll suffer with desire
Wicked queen, night machine

Killer, run for your life, killer, will she bite
Killer, run for your life, killer, will she bite
Suck your blood tonight
Killer, stone cold killer
She's a killer, stone cold killer
Killer, stone cold killer
She's a killer, stone cold killer
She's a killer, she's a killer, stone cold killer
When I look into the mirror
Just can't believe, what do I see
There's no wakin' from this nightmare
And you're lost in your reality
So you tell me all your secrets
And you tell me that you're innocent
There's somethin' in your eyes I can see
And my face keeps lookin' back at me
You confess
You can't help yourself
This living lie that you can't go on
You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
You're the crime and you can't go on
Another day, another sorrow
No today and no tomorrow
Try and wash away the shame
And you smile in your picture frame
You had a charmed life, but you think from grace
And you're long gone without a trace
You're all alone and wonder why
And you laugh when you wanna cry
You confess
You can't help yourself
This livin' lie that you can't go on
You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
You're the crime and you can't go on
You confess
You can't help yourself
This livin' lie that you can't go on
You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
You're the crime and it can't go on
It can't go on
God never spoke to me about your sin
So livin' in our lies will test the faith
So cut your straight lines on the mirror
And dip your hands in holy water
Try and wash away the shame
'Cuz all you've got is your father's name
You confess
You can't help yourself
This livin' lie that you can't go on
You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
You're the crime and it can't go on
You confess
You can't help yourself
This livin' lie that you can't go on
You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
I caught the tail of a hurricane and I've never ever been the same
I went out on a limb, gotcha under my skin, well alright
You got dirt under your fingernails
What I'm thinkin' can land me in jail
Well, you're caught in this trap and you can never go back
Well, oh no no
I know you wanna cross the border and you know the doctor's orders
Well it's better late than never, can't stay innocent forever
It's alright, it's alright, yeah
Any way you slice it, any way you slice it
You know you can't deny it, any way you slice it
You're hot under the collar
Ain't your mother's little daughter anymore
Ooh, ain't no wolf on the corner, can't keep it any longer
Well if you're lookin' for bliss
What I got you can't miss, well alright
When it works like a charm it'll do you no harm
You'll be in heaven tonight
I know you'll feel alright
Any way you slice it, any way you slice it
You know you can't deny it, any way you slice it
I know what's in your heart, I know what's in your mind
Any way you slice it, any way you slice it
You know you can't deny it, any way you slice it
You're hot under the collar
Ain't your mother's little daughter anymore
I know you wanna cross the border and you know the doctor's orders
Well it's better late than never, can't stay innocent forever
No, no, no, no
Yeah, alright
Well, if I told you once, I told you twice
Just listen, bab,e and take my advice
Why settle for seconds when you can have the best
So let me be your king bee, I want your hornets nest
Any way you slice it, any way you slice it
You know you can't deny it, any way you slice it
I know what's in your heart, I know what's in your mind, yeah
Any way you slice it, any way you slice it
I know you can't deny it, any way you slice it
You're hot under the collar
Ain't your mother's little daughter anymore
You know you ain't your mother's little daughter anymore
I look at you and my blood boils hot
I feel my temperature rise
I want it all give me what you got
there's hunger in your eyes
I'm getting closer baby hear me breathe
You know the way to give me what I need
Just let me love you and you'll never leave
(chorus)
Feel my heat takin' you higher
Burn with me, Heaven's on fire
Paint the sky with desire
Angel fly, Heaven's on fire
I got a fever ragin' in my heart
you make me shiver and shake
Baby don't stop take it to the top

You're comin' closer I can hear you breathe
You drive me crazy when you start to tease
You could bring the devil to his knees
(chorus)
Oh oh Heaven's on fire
Oh oh Heaven's on fire
Oh oh
(instrumental)
I'm getting closer baby hear me breathe
You know the way to give me what I need
Just let me love you and you'll never leave
If never I met you
I'd never have seen you cry
If not for our first "Hello"
We'd never have to say goodbye
If never I held you
My feelin's would never show
It's time I start walkin'
But there's so much you'll never know
I keep telling you hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman
Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags, I really love ya
I can't forget about ya
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man
Before I go let me kiss you
And wipe the tears from your eyes
I don't wanna hurt you, girl
You know I could never lie
I keep telling you hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man
Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen

I'm just packin' my bags, whoa, leavin' you
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, baby, don't cry
I gotta keep on movin', yeah movin'
You're sittin' in your seat
And then you stand and clutch your breasts
Our music drives you wild along with the rest
You watch me singing this song
You see what my mouth can do
And you wish you were the one I was doin' it to
And you watch me playin' guitar
And you feel what my fingers can do
And you wish you were the one I was doin' it to
Well, listen
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
You're dying to be seen
And you wave and call my name
But in the day it seems that I'm a million miles away
You watch me beatin' my drum
And you know what my hands can do
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
Well, listen
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
Then you feel these eyes from the stage
And you see me starin' at you
And you hear between the lines, my voice is callin' to you
Well, listen
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
(Do you wanna play the role?)
You've got great expectations
(You'd even sell me your soul)
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
(Do you wanna play the role?)
You've got great expectations
(You'd even sell me your soul)
You've got great expectations
(As long as you can play the role)

Daughter of Aphrodite
Hear my words and take heed
I was born on Olympus
To my father a son
I was raised by the demons (she laughs)
Trained to reign as the one
God of thunder and rock and roll
The spell you're under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul
(studio girl)
What? - I can't, I don't wanna do it too loud
I'm the lord of the wastelands
A modern day man of steel
I gather darkness to please thee
And I command you to kneel

Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul

Make you sweat, make you moan
Love is sweet, so insane

Passion in the third degree, burning in my brain
Slave to love's desire
Livin', lovin', feel the heat, never to be tamed
Born to play with fire
Gimme more, ooh, gimme more
Baby, gimme more, ooh, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, listen
Touch my body, take it slow

C'mon baby, let me in
Gonna break your will, open up the door
Gimme more, ooh, gimme more
Oh, deep in the night I am waiting, sent from above, power of love in my hand
And I know what you want, I know what you need and I know what you feel
Lose all your fears and live out your dreams
I'm the one who's gonna make it real
Passion and fire, lust and desire, exciter
Pleasure and pain, this is my name, exciter
Oh, heaven is yours for the taking, power of love, sent from above in your hand
And I'll give you more than ever before, so take all you need
When you open your arms, open your eyes, I'm the one who's gonna make you see
Passion and fire, lust and desire, exciter
Pleasure and pain, whisper my name, exciter
Surrender to me and I'll guarantee, you'll pray that the night never ends
Come play the game, this is my name, exciter
And I'll show you a world where you've never been, it's time that you knew
There's no time for waiting, it's time to begin, I'm the one's gonna take you
Passion and fire, lust and desire, exciter
Pleasure and pain, whisper my name, exciter
Surrender to me and I'll guarantee, you'll pray that the night never ends
Alright
Well, the night keeps gettin' shorter
And the day keeps getting near
And your daddy wants to give up his daughter
But you think, you think you don't want him
You got me standing underneath your window
While you're deliberating on your fate
And you would really like to let me in though
But your fiance doesn't know your date
Well, if you thinkin' life could be much sweeter
Baby, doncha, doncha, doncha hesitate
Baby, doncha, doncha, doncha hesitate
Well, we could leave tonight for Puerto Rico
Or we could catch a train to F-L-A
'Cause with your wedding day around the corner
I get to thinking that you shouldn't wait
You know that once the ring is on your finger
It's so much harder for a girl today
She won't be cozy with a rock 'n' roll singer
And throw her family and her husband away
Well, if you thinkin' life could be much sweeter
Baby, doncha, doncha, doncha hesitate
Baby, doncha, doncha, doncha hesitate
I just can't wait
Well, if you thinkin' life could be much sweeter
Baby, doncha, doncha, doncha hesitate
Baby, doncha, doncha, doncha hesitate
Baby, doncha, doncha, doncha hesitate
Baby, doncha, doncha, doncha hesitate
Baby, doncha, doncha, doncha hesitate
Baby, doncha, doncha, doncha hesitate
I can't get enough of what I need
People all around me, lettin' me bleed
Waitin' for the darkness to blind the heat
I make my livin' out on the streets
Dirty livin', dirty livin'
I can't wait any longer to set myself free
Flashin' lights keep runnin' through my brain
Someone find the doctor to ease all the pain
Traffic in the city is burnin' me out
She makes me wanna jump up and shout
Dirty livin', dirty livin'
I can't wait any longer to set myself free
I can't wait any longer to set myself free
No more, no more
I've gotta get away
Dirty livin', dirty livin'
Dirty livin'
Main line out of China is due in tonight
Mother, sister, brother are lyin' uptight
I can hear the jukebox poundin' out loud
I take my fuhrer out on the crowd
Dirty livin', dirty livin'
I can't wait any longer to set myself free
I can't wait any longer to set myself free
No, no more, no
I've gotta get away
Dirty livin', dirty livin'
It's gettin' to me, it's gettin' to me
I can't wait, I can't wait
Dirty livin', dirty livin', yeah
Why don't you set me free?
I feel uptight on a Saturday night
Nine o' clock, the radio's the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tell me what I got to do
I got to
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Getting late, I just can't wait
Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start up the car, and I try to make the midnight show
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Movin' fast, doin' 95
Hit top speed but I'm still movin' much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
I hear my song playin' on the radio
It goes
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City
Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights starin' at my eyes
Oh my God, no time to turn
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Get up
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Hit it
Mama told me, "Your lady's lookin' for another man"
I never worry, there ain't a need for me to take no stand
I got my reasons, the things I do are better left unsaid
I'm into pleasin', I do my talkin' with my hands instead

She's a dancer, a romancer
I'm a Capricorn and she's a Cancer
She saw my picture in a music magazine
When she met me, said she'd get me
Touched her hips and told me that she'd let me
I took her hand, baby, this is what I said
I said, "Baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down to my knees?
You can do what you please
Come on and love me"
I'm a man, I'm no baby
And you're lookin' every inch a lady
You're good lookin' and you're lookin' like you should be good
You were distant, now you're nearer
I can feel your face inside the mirror
The lights are out and I can feel you, baby, with my hand
So baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down to my knees?
You can do what you please
Come on and love me

Ooh, you look good tonight
Standing there in your own world
Baby, talk to me with your eyes
Before the moment dies
I want to say to you
Time is just passing us by
You keep waiting for something called love
Wake up in the middle of the night
Nobody's gonna make it alright
Who wants to be lonely, who wants to be with you tonight, oh, oh
Who wants to be lonely, who wants to be holding you tight, oh, oh
Ooh yeah
Open yourself to me
Let me show you what it can be like
Baby, giving it all that you've got
Nothing can hold you back
Some things can stand alone
A mountain can feel no desire
But a heart isn't made out of stone
Wake up in the middle of the night
Nobody's gonna make it alright
Who wants to be lonely, who wants to be with you tonight, oh, oh
Who wants to be lonely, who wants to be holding you tight, oh, oh
Who wants to be lonely, ooh

Who wants to be lonely, who wants to be holding you tight, oh, oh
You are not alone and how long can you run?
It's much to late if you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Once upon a time you were a child but that was yesterday
Believed that magic in your heart would never fade away
But hold your head up high and let your spirits fly
Keep hope alive, yes deep inside and your dreams will never die
We are one
Everywhere I go, everyone I see
And I see my face looking back at me
We are one
Everything I know, what I know is true
Everyone of us is inside of you
We are one
We are one
Ohh, take a breath, close your eyes, you're on the road again
And then you realize they've brought you back to life again
Something's never change but if you fantasize
You'll feel it deep inside yourself and then you'll realize
When you feel it coming, when you hear the sound
You'll always laugh when you wanna cry
And that you'll know it deep inside
We are one
Everywhere I go, everyone I see
And I see my face looking back at me
We are one
Everything I know, what I know is true
Everyone of us is inside of you
We are one
We are one
You are me, I am you
What you see is all true
It's all true
(It's all true)
You are me, I am you
What you see is all true
It's all true
(It's all true)
You are me, I am you
(We are one)
What you see is all true
(We are one)
It's all true
(It's all true)
You are me, I am you
(We are one)
What you see is all true
(We are one)
It's all true
(It's all true)
We are one
Everywhere I go, everyone I see
And I see my face looking back at me
We are one
Everything I know, what I know is true
Everyone of us is inside of you
We are one
Everywhere I go, everyone I see
(We are one)
And I see my face looking back at me
We are one
Everything I know, what I know is true
Everyone of us is inside of you
I was there through the ages, chained slaves to their cages
I have seen you eat your own
I'm the cycle of pain, of a thousand year old reign
I'm suicide and salvation, the omen to nations
That you worship on all fours
I'm the infection and famine, that's knockin' at your door
That's why you're feeling so
Unholy
Yeah, I was created by man, you know I'm
Unholy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I am the incubus, I lay the egg in you
The worm that burrows through your brain
But you are the beast, that calls me by my name
You send your children to war
To serve bastards and whores
So now you know
You created me on the day that you were born
Unholy
Yeah, I was created by man, you know I'm
Unholy
From the left hand of power comes the father of lies, yeah
Unholy, unholy
I lay you down to sleep, your soul to keep
Better cross your heart before you die
Now you know, know that you are mine
That's why you're feeling so
I've met some ladies and then some girls
But they don't tell you, they just want a whirl
It's kind of funny, a little sad
'Cause they're not happy, they're just kinda glad
To be with me for just a night
And maybe even turn out the lights, we'll turn out the lights
I need time to ease my mind
Make up my mind, which one to find
Two sides of the coin to choose from
Two sides of the coin, they are mine
Two sides of the coin, I'm gettin' weary
Which one should I choose, I need time?
I'd like to say a word or two
About the women we all seem to know
They're all around us, they're everywhere
You meet them this place and then meet them there
Then you decide to pick a mate
Because you're tired of all those dates, of all those dates
I need time to ease my mind
Make up my mind, which one to find
Two sides of the coin to choose from
Two sides of the coin, they are mine
Two sides of the coin, I'm gettin' weary
Which one should I choose, I need time?
Choose one!
Two sides of the coin to choose from
Two sides of the coin, they are mine
Two sides of the coin, I'm gettin' weary
Which one should I choose, I need time?
Two sides of the coin to choose from
Two sides of the coin, they are mine
Two sides of the coin, I'm gettin' weary
Which one should I choose, I need time?
Choose one!
I couldn't sleep at all last night
Just a-thinkin' 'bout you
Baby, things weren't right
'Cause I was
Tossin' and turnin', turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin', tossin' and turnin' all night
I kicked the blankets on the floor
Turned my pillow upside down
I never felt this way before
'Cause I was
Tossin' and turnin', turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin', tossin' and turnin' all night
Jumped out of bed, turned on the lights
Pulled down the shade, went to the kitchen for a bite
Rolled up the shade, turned down the lights
(Rolled up the shade)
I jumped back into bed, was the middle of the night
The clock downstairs was strikin' three
Couldn't get you off my mind
I heard the milkman on the street
'Cause I was
Tossin' and turnin', turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin', tossin' and turnin' all night
Jumped out of bed, turned on the lights
Pulled down the shade, went to the kitchen for a bite
Rolled up the shade, turned down the lights
(Rolled up the shade)
Jumped back into bed, was the middle of the night
The clock downstairs was strikin' three
Couldn't get you off my mind
I heard the milkman on the street
'Cause I was
Tossin' and turnin', turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin', tossin' and turnin' all night
Tossin' and turnin'
(Tossin' and turnin')
Tossin' and turnin'

Turnin' and tossin'

Turnin' and tossin'

Tossin' and turnin'
(Tossin' and turnin')
Turnin' and tossin'
(Tossin' and turnin')
(Tossin' and turnin')
Tossin' and turnin'
(Tossin' and turnin')
Turnin' and tossin'
(Tossin' and turnin')
Here I go, down below
The sun is goin' down, a jungle comes alive
The beast is wakin' up, to take another life
I can't sleep, in too deep
The man with nothing left, without a place to hide
Will take a final breath and tumble in the night
Yeah, someone's safe at home
Someone dies alone, someone's fallen prey
Yeah, some will take their fill
Like lions to the kill, livin' day to day
Whoa, the jungle
Mothers mourn, fathers groan
The child takes a hit and then he starts to cry
A mother never hears her baby's last goodbye
Yeah, someone's safe at home
Someone dies alone, someone's fallen prey
Yeah, some will take their fill
Like lions to the kill, livin' day to day
Whoa, the jungle
The sun is comin' up, a city comes alive
The lamb will never see a jungle in the sky
Yeah, someone's safe at home
Someone dies alone, someone's fallen prey
Yeah, some will take their fill
Like lions to the kill, livin' day to day
Yeah, someone dies alone
Someone's safe at home
All is flesh and bone
I didn't want you, did not need you
Sure wouldn't mean to kick you down
You know I love you, I really love you
Sure do wish you'd come around
'Coz you're the kind of sugar papa likes
And when you do it, it drives me crazy
(Drives me crazy)
And I don't know if I'm up or down
Lost or found with you
You shoulda told me, I'm not the only
Man to love you twice
But since I know now, I think I'll go now
And find someone who'll love me right
But you're the kind of sugar papa likes
And when we do it, it drives me crazy
(Drives me crazy)
And I don't know if I'm up or down
Lost or found with you
But you're the kind of sugar papa likes
And when you do it, it drives me crazy

Aaa ooo, I need a whole lotta woman
(I need a whole lotta woman)
Take it, Bruce
(I need a whole lotta woman)
Woh ooo woh ooo woh ooo woh
I ain't lookin' like nobody's fool
Save it for somebody else
And I ain't makin' any desperate move
Till I'm satisfied myself
I ain't waitin' for no invitation
I just wanna walk on thru
I never needed anybody
And like my daddy said
I wasn't born with a silver spoon
Nowhere to hide in a crowded room
I see the attitude that's in your eyes
I got no reason to apologize
'Cause what's so special 'bout a girl like you
With a silver spoon
In a city where the buildings rise
I was just another face
But mama told me when somebody dies
No one else can take your place
I never needed anybody
And like my daddy said
I wasn't born with a silver spoon
Nowhere to hide in a crowded room
I see the attitude that's in your eyes
I got no reason to apologize
'Cause I've got something for a girl like you
With a silver spoon
I always knew I'd be somebody
I kept it in my head
I never needed anybody
And like my daddy said
I wasn't born with a silver spoon
Nowhere to hide in a crowded room
I see the attitude that's in your eyes
I got no reason to apologize
'Cause what's so special 'bout a girl like you
A girl like you, a girl like you
With a silver spoon
Don't try to tell me where you had gone
What you are doing, where are you from
Everybody stand by, hey
You got every kind of [Incomprehensible]
I wasn't born with a silver spoon
Everything you wanted [Incomprehensible]
I wasn't born with a silver spoon
You got every kind of [Incomprehensible]

She walks by moonlight
No one really knows
Enchanted starlight
Never goin' home
I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good
Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
As she takes off her clothes
I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good
Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
I just can't pretend no more
I keep runnin' out of lies
Lovin' you is killin' me inside
Every time I find the words to end it
Something in your eyes won't let it
Shandi, tonight must last us forever
Forever we say goodnight and go home
But you know me very well and I know you
You can't tell me goodnight
We been holding on so tight
We're afraid to let it go
Shake it loose, we both could use the ride
Here's another mess I got myself in
And when you touch me you ain't helpin'
Shandi, tonight must last us forever
Forever we say goodnight and go home
But you know me very well and I know you
You can't tell me goodnight
Say goodnight when we should say goodbye, oo yeah
Shandi, tonight must last us forever and ever
Forever we say goodnight and go home
Shandi, Shandi, tonight must last us forever
I saw my pictures hangin' on her wall
She cut it out of that magazine
It was a hot day she wore lingerie
And nothin' else in between, ooh
She had long hair and thigh high, snake skin boots
And she was all over me like a cheap suit
Then she bared herself, aha
And stripped my soul
Began to shake, rattle, and roll
Then I took control, yeah
But I know she's secretly cruel
I ain't nobody's fool
Yeah, I know she's secretly cruel
Just when I thought it was safe
She puts her lips to my face
She's secretly, secretly cruel
Well she grabbed my hair and I began to rise
I could tell what she wanted by that look in her eyes
(Oh)
Ow, by that look in her eyes, yeah
I said, "Come here babe and make it quick"
She said, "Not so fast" and had a drink
Well it ain't just luck
But I better knock on wood
She's gonna give me everythin'
Somehow I knew she would
Oh, but I know she's secretly cruel
I ain't nobody's fool
Well, I know she's secretly cruel
I said, "Baby you're the fire, but I am the fuel"
She's secretly, secretly cruel
Yeah, so cruel
Well it ain't just luck
(Ain't just luck)
But I better knock on wood, yeah
She's gonna give me everythin'
Somehow, I knew she would
Oh, but I know she's secretly cruel
I ain't nobody's fool, nobody's fool
(Secretly)
She's so cruel
I'm in love but I don't play the fool
(Secretly)
She's so cruel

Some ladies love me
Some ladies don't
But I know what you're gonna do
Even when you say you won't
I know you want me
You got desire
Out of the frying pan
Into the fire
You're drawn to the flame
Your hands are tied
You wanna take me, baby
All up inside
You feel the hunger
But it's much too much
You can look baby
Uh, uh, uh, but you just can't touch
This is Russian Roulette-One pull of the trigger
Is all you're gonna get-The deck is loaded
And I like what I see-You're gonna lose it all Eventually
You got me where you want me
Go on, take a bite
Open up, let your backbone slip
Such a pretty sight
You try to talk
Buth you just can't speak
Your pulse is strong
But your knees are weak
Come on
I'm feelin' low, no place to go and I'm a-thinking that I'm gonna scream
Because a hotel all alone is not a rock and roll star's dream
But just when I'm about to shut the light and go to bed
A lady calls and asks if I'm too tired or if I'm just to dead for
Room service, baby I could use a meal
Room service, you do what you feel
Room service, I take the pleasure with the pain
I can't say no
My plane's delayed and I'm afraid
They're gonna keep me waiting here till nine
Then a stewardess in a tight blue dress says
"I got the time"
But just as I'm about to take my coat and get my fly
She says, "Oh please", she's on her knees
And one more time before I leave I get some
Room service, baby I could use a meal
Room service, you do what you feel
Room service, I take the pleasure with the pain
I can't say no, I can't say no
In my home town, I'm hangin' 'round
With all the ladies treatin' me real good
The sweet sixteen, lookin' hot and mean says
I wish you would
But just as I'm about to tell her, "Yes, I think I can"
I see her dad, he's getting mad
All the time he knows that I'm in need of
Room service, baby I could use a meal
Room service, you do what you feel
Room service, I take the pleasure with the pain
I can't say no
Room service, baby I could use a meal
Room service, you do what you feel
Room service, I take the pleasure with the pain
I can't say no, I can't say no
Room service, baby I could use a meal
Room service, you do what you feel
Room service, you take the pleasure with the pain
I'm flyin' in a 747, I'm passing by the pearly gates
And I'm comin' real close to Heaven
And my guitar just can't wait
It just can't wait
In France really had the chance
Yeah, there was plenty romance
I've been to England too, there wasn't much to do
One thing I know is true, What I would rather do is
Rockin' in the U.S.A
Nowhere else I'd rather stay
Rockin' and rollin' rockin' and rollin'
Rockin' in the U.S.A
Germany was really neat
Just wasn't much to eat
And Denmark was great
But I just can't wait, rockin' in the U.S.A
Rockin' in the U.S.A
Nowhere else I'd rather stay
Rockin' and rollin' rockin' and rollin'
Rockin' in the U.S.A
Rockin' in the U.S.A
Nowhere else I'd rather stay
Rockin' and rollin' rockin' and rollin'
Rockin' in the U.S.A
Rockin' in the U.S.A
Nowhere else I'd rather stay
Rockin' and rollin' rockin' and rollin'
Rockin' in the U.S.A
Rockin' in the U.S.A
Nowhere else I'd rather stay
Rockin' and rollin' rockin' and rollin'
Lady space, you like the way
I make you feel inside
Take a rocket ride
From the start you wanted to fly
I got the rocket and you want the ride
Take a rocket ride
Baby wants it fast, baby wants a blast
She wants a rocket ride, she wants a rocket ride
Baby wants it fast, baby wants a blast
She wants a rocket ride, she wants a rocket ride
Lady space, you better wake up fast
Countdown is comin' on
Take a rocket ride
The gravity that used to hold you down
Just don't exist no more
Take a rocket ride
Baby wants it fast, baby wants a blast
She wants a rocket ride, she wants a rocket ride
Baby wants it fast, baby wants a blast
She wants a rocket ride, she wants a rocket ride

Baby's on her knees, baby wants to please
She wants a rocket ride, she wants a rocket ride
Baby's on her knees, baby wants to please
Been under fire sixteen years, just waitin' for his time to come
He fought the lies, fought back the tears, can't wait to hear that starting gun
There ain't nobody gonna step on his dreams
So he held his hands high and screamed
Chorus:
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
He's on the edge, he can feel it in his heart
This time the pressure's really on
He's gonna fight it, might even steal a guitar
This time tomorrow he'll be gone
There ain't nobody gonna tell him what to do
Think he's a little like me and you
chorus
He's on the run, won't stand for second place, but his turn may never come
He's not a victim, you can see it in his face
But he can't see what he's become
Well, he wants it bad, but he wants no charity
He seems to think it's his destiny
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
You show us everything you've got
You keep on dancin' and the room gets hot
And you drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
And you say you wanna go for a spin
The party's just begun, we'll let you in
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shoutin', you keep on shoutin'
I wanna rock 'n roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock 'n roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock 'n roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock 'n roll all nite and party every day
You keep on saying you'll be mine for a while
You're lookin' fancy and I like your style
And you drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
And you show us everything you've got
Baby, baby that's quite a lot
And you drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shoutin', you keep on shoutin'
I wanna rock 'n roll all nite and party every day

I wanna rock 'n roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock 'n roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock 'n roll all nite and party every day
Out of love, there's nobody around, all I hear is the sound of a broken heart
Out of time, no more waitin' for you
Now the hurtin's through, and a new day starts
And I feel a change in my life, I sailed into dark and endless nights
And made it alive
Chorus:
Everybody's got a reason to live, baby
Everybody's got a dream and a hunger inside
Everybody's got a reason to live, but it can't be your love
Out of touch, with myself for so long, now a feelin' so strong comin' over me
Down the line, there's a lesson I've learned
You can love and get burned, if it has to be
And I see a change in my life, and I'm not alone when I'm strong inside
And I realize
chorus
And I feel a change in my life
And I'm not alone when I'm strong inside and I realize
chorus repeats 2x
No it can't be your love, no it can't be your love
Who cares, I'm in a trance, I got no hope, I don't stand a chance
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Who knows, well I don't care, 'cause I don't fit in anywhere
But it's all right, yes it is all right
Well, I'm numb but that's my style, I've been numb for a little while
But it's all right, yes it's all right
I checked out yesterday, well there's nothing left to say
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Don't see nothin' in my eyes
Man I've been lobotomized
Cold inside, anesthetized
Llife has got me paralyzed
Who says I have to pay? I didn't want this anyway
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Who says life is good? Love thyself, well I never could
But it's all right, yes it is all right
I'm here dressed in black, waiting for a heart attack
But it's all right, yes it's all right
I try to talk, I just can't speak, the urge is strong, but my brain is weak
And it's all right, yes it's all right
Don't see nothin' in my eyes
Man I've been lobotomized
Cold inside, anesthetized
Life has got me paralyzed
And who say life is good? Love thyself, well I never could
But it's all right, yes it's all right
I checked out yesterday, well there's nothing left to say
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Don't see nothin' in my eyes
Man I've been lobotomized, I'm paralyzed
Cold inside, anesthetized
Yea, got the feelin' otherwise, I'm paralyzed
Don't see nothin' in my eyes
Man I've been lobotomized, I'm paralyzed
Cold inside, anesthetized
Before I had a baby
I didn't care anyway
I thought about the back door
I didn't know what to say
But once I got a baby
I, I tried every way
She didn't wanna do it
But she did anyway
But baby please don't refuse
You know you got nothin' to lose
You got nothin' to lose
You got, got nothin' to lose, well nothin'

You got, got nothin' to lose
You got, got nothin' to lose
Oh the heat is on, and my back's against the wall
You know it's tough to be strong, in a world that makes you crawl
I'm never gonna stop, I'm never gonna give up in the fight
'Cause after the battle is done, all you've got left is your pride
Chorus:
I'm gonna talk like I talk, walk like I walk my way
I'm gonna go where I go, ain't takin' no my way
Here in the danger zone, it's a jagged edge we climb
But if you take it like stone, and stand on your own
You can make the grade in time
I'm never gonna run, I'm never gonna tell myself a lie
'Cause after it's all said and done, I won't be wonderin' why
And I'll know that under the gun, I am the one who's got the right to decide
chorus
And if you don't play my game I won't play, I'm gonna do it my way
I'm never gonna run, I'm never gonna tell myself a lie
'Cause after it's all said and done, I've got the right to decide
chorus repeats 3x
Hey, with a sleight of hand and then a word of mouth
She's a cat been caged too long and now she's breakin' out
Well, get it straight, you better cross your heart
'Cause sparks are gonna fly, let me tell you what it's all about
Better run for cover, babe
She's gonna make her move
You know she could, she's a get rich bitch
You better get her while the gettin's good
She's a vision in leather
Like salt on a wound
Just a turn of a knob
And she's real fine tuned
(She's murder in high-heels)
She ain't the girl next door worth waitin' for
Well you're playin' with the fire, a pool of sweat's lyin' on the floor
She'll bring you to your knees, when you're laid to rest
She's gonna give you something, she's just gonna get it off her chest
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
She's a vision in leather
Like salt on a wound, oh yeah
Just a turn of a knob
And she's real fine tuned, here she comes
He's a vision in leather
Like salt on a wound
Just a turn of a knob, oh yeah
And she's real fine tuned
I never said I was more than I am
Do what I want, I don't give a damn
You're all so weak, you know it makes me ill
Don't like you now and probably never will
You cheat and lie and wonder why
You can't sleep at night
You're not well, oh, Mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
You're not well, oh, Mr. Blackwell
Why don't you go to Hell?
I am a sinner who just loves to sin
I am a fighter who just loves to win
I am the truth about this crummy hole
There's nothing here that can't be bought or sold
You're cold and mean and in between
You're rotten to the core
You're not well, oh, Mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
You're not well, oh, Mr. Blackwell
Why don't you go to Hell?
You're a victim, a real disgrace
You should be banished from the human race
We'll drink to sorrow, then we'll drink to waste
We'll drink a toast to the inhuman race
Here's to the world and the times we're in
Here's to the kid, a real man among men
You're cold and mean and in between
You're rotten to the core
You're not well, oh, Mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
You're not well, oh, Mr. Blackwell
Life, a movie in my head
A page of lines we read
The words remain unsaid
Time, a race you never win
Look back at where we've been
And throw the towel in
Every time I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line, tell me
I just wanna take my turn
Now before I crash and burn, yeah
Hope, a candle burning bright
A temporary light
Till we return tonight
Love, the mighty drug we crave
The master and the slave
Will rule us to our grave
Every time I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line, tell me
I just want a place to rest
Count to four and catch my breath
One, two, three, four
I don't know what to feel
Don't know what to say
Don't know what to do
I don't know where to go
Don't know who to be
Don't know who to know
Life is never what it seems
It shakes you from your dreams
Wake up and start to
Every time I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line, tell me
I just want a place to rest
Stop and let me catch my breath
Every time I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line, tell me
Forget all that I've been told
I just wanna lose control
Every time I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line, tell me
I just wanna take my turn
I been up, down, and all around, tell you what I'm feelin'
I been hurt and I've found, been pushed around, it's how I got this feelin'
I never thought I could hurt so good, no no
I never thought I could lose myself, but I just can't hide it
They never let you down easy, now listen
Sometimes love is like a slap in the face, you been burned and still
It's the same old mistake
If you want my opinion, I'll give it to you straight
Love is like a slap in the face
Singin' na na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na
Love's got a hold on me, I can't believe it, but it's plain to see
Turns me upside down and inside out
Don't know why it never fails to make you scream and shout
I never knew I could fool myself, no no, I never thought I could hurt so good
But I just can't hide it, guess I'm feelin' no pain, now listen
Sometimes love is like a slap in the face, you been burned and still
It's the same old mistake
If you want my opinion, I'll give it to you straight
Love is like a slap in the face
Singin' na na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na
I never knew I could hurt so good, no no, I never thought I'd say nonono, no no
But I'm here babe, I got a secret inside
Sometimes love is like a ball and chain
Keeps you up at night, why is it always the same
If you wanna know the truth, it's something I can't explain
Yeah love is like a ball and chain
I know you write me sexy letters
And you send your pictures for my wall
You found the hotel where I'm stayin'
And you built up the nerves and then you called
I'm living in sin
(At the Holiday Inn)
At the Holiday Inn, yeah
(Living in sin)
I'm living in sin
(At the Holiday Inn)
At the Holiday Inn
(Just living in sin)
You tell me, you want me to protect you
But sometimes my love can go too far
Deep in your heart you wanna love me
Come closer, I know who you are
I'm living in sin
(At the Holiday Inn)
At the Holiday Inn, yeah
(Living in sin)
I'm living in sin
(At the Holiday Inn)
At the Holiday Inn
(Just living in sin)
Deep in your heart you wanna love me
Come closer, I know who you are, I know who you are
I know you write me sexy letters
But sometimes my love can go too far

Do it
She was just 19 but in her eyes
She was old enough to know
We were caught between two city streets
Like a bad dream
We could barely survive in the world outside
Where the writing's on the wall
Still she lets me know, we just can't let go
And she takes my heart away
When she tells me, I want it
I go crazy, I need it
When she touches, I feel it
Right there in her eyes
I'm the King of Hearts
Livin' out a fantasy
The King of Hearts
When she's layin' next to me
Shinin' like a jewel tonight
Love is gonna rule tonight
Yeah, I'm gonna be the only one
The King of Hearts
Like a neon light, the shadows flash
Across my empty room
We could leave tonight
And save ourselves from a bad scene
When we walk on by with our heads up high
All the faces turn our way
Yeah, it's in their eyes, they realize
We can make our getaway
When she tells me, I want it
I go crazy, I need it
When she touches, I feel it
When she looks at me
I'm the King of Hearts
Livin' out a fantasy
I'm the King of Hearts
When she's layin' next to me
Shinin' like a jewel tonight
Love is gonna rule tonight
Yeah, I'm gonna be the only one
The King of Hearts
When she tells me, I want it
I go crazy, I need it
When she touches, I feel it
Right there in her eyes
I'm the King of Hearts
I'm the King of Hearts
When she's layin' next to me
The King of Hearts
Livin' out a fantasy
The King of Hearts
I'm in a fantasy
I'm the King of Hearts
She's lyin' next to me
I know just where you come from
Where all your yesterdays are gone
And now you're done
But you've only just begun
It's time you opened up the door
And now it's all very clear
This is a journey of 1.000 years
Can you feel it coming?
Can you hear the sound?
Can you feel it coming?
Or is it the roar of the crowd?
Can you feel it coming?
Can you hear it?
Or is it the roar of the crowd?
Did you sleep without dreams?
Did you fly without wings?
Did you touch without feel?
Where nothing is real?
Did you feel it coming?
Did you hear it?
I'm losing power
And I don't know why
Not really sure
If I'll live or die
I wanna leave
But I can't get away
It's a strange sensation
Out of control
Being by myself
I feel this gravitation
Caught like a magnet
And I'm being pulled
Into the void
I wanna get away, get away
Into the void
I'm being pulled, being pulled down
Into the void
This place is spinning, spinning me round
Into the void
Feel like I'm being pulled
Into a black hole
This crazy feelings
Screwing with my head
I'm overloaded
And my gauges are red
State of confusion's
Gotta hold on me
I feel a hesitation
I'm being drawn, falling right off the track
Don't like this situation
Caught like a magnet
And I'm being pulled
Into the void
I wanna get away, get away
Into the void
My head is spinning, spinning me round, round
Into the void
This force is getting, getting me stronger
Into the void
I feel like I'm being pulled
Into a black holeInto the void
Into the void
Don't like this feeling, I'm being pulled down
Into the void
I wanna get away, get away
Into the void
Feel like I'm spinning, spinning around
Into the void
I'm being pulled, being pulled down
Down, down, down
Into the void
Get away, get away
Into the void
Feel like I'm being pulledInto a black hole
I've been working at my job slaving like a dog all day
I've been thinking about you, girl and watching the minutes slip away
Yeah, and I know there's someone inside me that nobody sees
And I know in the darkness you're gonna be reaching for me
I'm a legend tonight gonna make you feel right
When you reach for the light I'm a legend tonight
I'm a legend tonight, gonna make you feel right
When you reach for the light, I'm a legend tonight
You know they try to slow me, sometimes I think I'm gonna stop
But I gotta keep on going, believing in 5 o' clock, yeah
And on the edge of the darkness we'll be living in another world
And I know that a part of your's gonna be part of me, girl
I'm a legend tonight gonna make you feel right
When you reach for the light I'm a legend tonight
I'm a legend tonight gonna make you feel right
When you reach for the light I'm a legend tonight
Look at me
I don't know what happens when the race is run
I don't know what tells me if I've lost or won
But I know that I'll make it through the day alright
And girl, you're gonna find out
I'm a legend tonight gonna make you feel right
When you reach for the light I'm a legend tonight
I'm a legend tonight gonna make you feel right
When you reach for the light I'm a legend tonight
I'm a legend tonight gonna make you feel right
When you reach for the light I'm a legend tonight
I'm a legend tonight gonna make you feel right
When you reach for the light I'm a legend tonight
I'm a legend tonight gonna make you feel right
Tonight I wanna give it all to you
In the darkness, there's so much I wanna do
And tonight I wanna lay it at your feet
'Cause girl, I was made for you
And girl, you were made for me
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you baby

'Cause girl, you were made for me

You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you baby

You were made for lovin' me
And I can't give it all to you baby
Can you give it all to me?
Can't get enough
I can't get enough
I can't get enough
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you baby
Can you get enough of me?
Oh, I was made, you were made

I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you baby
Can you get enough of me?
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
I know deep inside of me
There's a place but it's not plain to see
I belong where no on else can be
I'm searching for myself again
And here I'm all alone and when
I close my eyes and no one else can see
I walk alone, can't you see?
I don't belong, let me be
Everything I've dreamed of being is me
And I've got myself to lean on
I've got both my feet on the ground
And you don't know me and I don't know me
I can't see you, you can't see me
Close my eyes and leave the world behind
So I got no heart and I got no home
I got no somewhere I belong
And I don't know if everything is just fine
I walk alone, can't you see?
I don't belong, let me be
Everything I've dreamed of being
And I don't belong, can't you see?
I walk alone, let me be
Everything I've dreamed of being is me
And I've got myself to lean on
I've got both my feet on the ground
So I got no heart and I got no home
And I got no somewhere I belong
But I don't know if everything is just
And I've got myself to lean on
I've got both my feet on the ground
And I've got myself to lean on
And I've got both my feet on the ground
'Cause I know deep inside of me
There's a place but it's not plain to see
Where I belong where no one else can be
And I'm searching for myself again
And here I'm all alone and when
Lookin' back yeah I feel alright
Gettin' more than my expectations
Yeah my future looks clear and bright and I'm
Livin' up to my reputation
Yeah I'm satisfied
Yeah until the day I die
I gave my blood and I gave my soul
I stood my ground and I took control
The legend's growin' as the story's told
I pledge allegiance to the state of Rock'n Roll
I've been a rebel for all my life
I never cared about regulations
I only went for the things I liked
And my guitar was my inspiration
Yeah we pay a price
Yeah I made the sacrifice
I gave my blood and I gave my soul
I stood my ground and I took control
The legend's growin' as the story's told
I know that heaven's gotta wait
I pledge allegiance to the state of Rock'n Roll
Yeah I'm satisfied
Yeah until the day I die
I gave my blood and I gave my soul
I stood my ground and I took control
The legend's growin' as the story's told
I know that heaven's gotta wait
I gave my blood and I gave my soul
I stood my ground and I took control
The legend's growin' as the story's told
I know that heaven's gotta wait
I pledge allegiance to the state of Rock'n Roll
Stand up, you don't have to be afraid
Get down, love is like a hurricane
Street boy, no I never could be tamed, better believe it
Guilty, 'til I'm proven innocent
Whiplash, heavy metal accident
Rock on, I wanna be President
'Cause I love it...
[Chorus]
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want no compromise
Turn it up, hungry for the medicine
Two fisted to the very end
No more treated like idiots
We're not gonna take it
No lies, no more alibis
Turn it up, got me hypnotized
Rock on, I won't be tranquilized
'Cause I love it...
[Chorus]
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want no compromise
I Love it...
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want no compromise
[Break]
Turn it up!
[Solo]
Headline: Jungle is the only rule
Front page, roar of the nation cool
Turn it up, this is my attitude
Take it or leave it
[Chorus]
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes (I love it)
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want no compromise (I love it)
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes (I love it)
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want no compromise (I love it)
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes (I love it)
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want no compromise (I love it)
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes (I love it)
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want no compromise (I love it)
[Fade out]
Night falls on the city, finds me all alone
Makes me wonder should I just go on home
And I walk up the stairs to see if you're sill there
Would you mind if I found you alone
Then a cold wind came callin'
Strange how it knew it'd bother me
See the night would fade but the pain's gonna stay
Makes me wonder, have you ever made love to me
I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
Lightnin' strikes across the sky
Oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
Lightnin' only blinds my eyes
Ain't it sad, when the only love I ever had
Just slips away, right through my fingers
Ain't it a shame when I think of your name
The only memory I have is it
I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
Lightnin' strikes across the sky
Oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
It takes a witch to curse that goddamn sky
I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
Lightnin' strikes across the sky
Oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
'Cause lightnin' only blinds my eyes
Oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
'Cause lightnin' only blinds my eyes
My granny, she said I was a hooligan
Runnin' 'round like a fool again
I went down to the candy store
If I had a nickel, I'd buy some more
And I'm oh so sad, yeah
Oh so bad
So sad, but it's true
Baby, what can I do
My mama, she said I was a black sheep
My baby, she said I was a creep
And I'm oh so sad, yeah
Oh so bad
So sad, but it's true
Baby, what can I do
I got a '35 Chevy on a '55 frame
Can't even spell my name
Dropped out of school when I was 22
What can I do to satisfy you
I'm a hooligan
Won't go to school again
I'm a hooligan
Won't go to school again, won't go no
I got a '35 Chevy on a '55 frame
Can't even spell my name
Dropped out of school when I was 22
What can I do to satisfy you
I'm a hooligan, yeah
Won't go to school again
(I mean you know how cool I am)
I'm a hooligan
(I am a hooligan)
Won't go to school again, won't go, no
I'm a hooligan
(I mean like I'm so bad)
Won't go to school again
(Yeah, ha, ha)
I'm a hooligan
(And like every chick in town loves me)
Won't go to school again, won't go no
Johnny saw her riding on a street car named desire
His fate was sealed
She could see him coming like a hundred other liars
It was no big deal
Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town
Tito, he was king of the streets
And she was his possession like a jewel on his crown
Johnny better run, better run
Better hide your heart, better hold on tight
Say your prayers, 'cause there's trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart, 'cause you're playing with fire
The ride was over but the story doesn't end
He took her heart
She looked him in the eye and said they couldn't meet again
You could see the trouble start
The word went out that Rosa's messin' with someone
It was on the street
Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun
Johnny better run, better run
Better hide your heart, better hold on tight
Say your prayers, 'cause there's trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart, 'cause you're playing with fire, come on
Yes, Johnny's holdin' Rosa on a rooftop in the night
As time stood still
They couldn't hear him coming 'til he had them both in sight
You could feel a chill
A shot ran out like thunder and the blood was on her hands
With nothing won
When someone lies dying, lovers finally understand
Baby hide your heart, better hold on tight
Say your prayers, 'cause there's trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart, 'cause you're playing with fire, come on
Better hide your heart, hold on tight
'Cause when pride and love battle with desire
Hide your heart, 'cause you're playing with fire
Hide your heart, hold on tight
Say your prayers, 'cause there's trouble tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Pride and love battle with desire
Hide your heart, 'cause you're playing with fire
I rode the highway to heartache
I took a trip on the ship of fools, woah yeah!
And I've paid the price to have my way
Cause money makes the rules, yeah!
Sing it!
Lay down!
I'm looking through ya'
Stay down!
You got what you should
Hey now!
I'm the new number one, it feels good!
Hell or hallelujah!
No matter what you do, I'm running through ya'
Yeah!
You said that lust never lasted
We surrender our hearts to fools, yeah!
Turns out there's nobody askin'
This time I get to choose!
Lemme hear ya!
Lay down!
Don't say you're sorry
Stay down!
I knew that you would
Hey now!
Don't say you're misunderstood, it feels good
Hell or hallelujah!
No matter what you do, I'm running through ya'
One more time!
Hell or hallelujah!
C'mon c'mon
The rest is up to you
It's overdue, yeah
Listen!
One heart is breakin'
One chance I'm takin'
No lie, no fakin'
Goodbye, feels like it should!
It feels good!
(Solo)
Oh yeah
Hey, one heart is breakin'
One chance I'm takin'
No lie, no fakin'
Goodbye, feels like it should!
Yeah, lemme tell ya' how it feels... it feels good!
Hell or hallelujah!
No matter what you do, I'm running through ya'
C'mon c'mon
Hell or hallelujah!
The rest is up to you
It ain't love, but it ain't so bad
She ain't nothin' like you ever had
Face of a woman, hands of a child, yeah
Been a long time comin', now she's goin' wild
Well I know she ain't the girl next door
She ain't the girl she was before
She's a good girl gone bad, one kiss can driv
Good girl - come on - show me the way
The girl can't help it, she's out of control
I gotta have her, she's so hot to hold, yeah
She's gettin' her way, but I'm havin' my fun
Steamin' up the window with the radio on
She ain't searchin', she knows the score, it ain't love she's lookin' for
But now she's gone too far, she found love in the back of my car
She's a good girl gone bad, one kiss can drive me mad
Good girl - come on - show me the way
She's a good girl gone bad, the best love I ever had
Good girl - come on - take me away, oh, take me away, take me away
She ain't searchin', she knows the score, it ain't love she's lookin' for
But now she's gone too far, I know
She's a good girl gone bad, one kiss can drive me mad
Good girl, come on, show me the way
She's a good girl gone bad, the best love I ever had
Kiss
Alive 3
God Gave Rock 'n' Roll To You Ii
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure
You don't feel right, you can't find a cure
And you're gettin' less than what you're lookin' for
You don't have money or a fancy car
And you're tired of wishin' on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar
Chorus:
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
"Now listen"
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far
Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five
You can take a stand, or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don't start livin' till you realize - "I gotta tell ya!"
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul
(Instrumental break)
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll
chorus repeats out...
"I know life sometimes can get tough! And I know life sometimes can be a drag!
But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road
Ain't a cardinal sin, baby let me in
Girl, I'm gonna treat you right
Well, goodness sakes
My snake's alive and it's ready to bite
Hornet's nest, lay me down to rest
Ooh, I wanna shed my skin
I got the urge to merge
You're as cold as ice, baby, won't you lemme in
Night scenes, wet dreams
Enough to make you drool
And fire, fire, fire for the fuel
Don't like to dress, talk too good
But I found my queen
Not too clean, know what I like
If you know what I mean
Baby, baby, guess you win the prize
Maybe, baby, where the sun never shines
This must be love, fits like a glove
Well, it must be love, it must be love
Fits like a glove, fits like a glove
Feel the heat, driver's seat
My blessing is my curse
Think I'm gonna burst
I'm gonna burst, I'm gonna burst
Night scenes, wet dreams
Enough to make you drool
And fire, fire, fire for the fuel
Ooh, baby, babe, fits like a glove
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Fits like a glove, fits like a glove
'Cause when I go through her
It's just like a hot knife
Through butter, ooh yeah
Baby, baby, guess you win the prize
Maybe, baby, where the sun never shines
Fits like a glove, well it must be love
It must be love, fits like a glove
Fits like a glove, well it must be love
It must be love, fits like a glove
Tryin' to say I'm sorry, didn't mean to break your heart
And find you waitin' up by the light of day
There's a lot I want to tell you, but I don't know where to start
And I don't know what I'd do if you walked away
Ooh, baby I tried to make it, I just got lost along the way
Chorus:
But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin' thru, it's easy to see
And every time I hold you, the things I never told you, seem to come easily
'Cause you're everything to me
I never really wanted to let you get inside my heart
I wanted to believe this would soon be ending
I thought it wouldn't matter, if it all just came apart
But now I realize I was just pretending
Ooh, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me
chorus
It's gonna take a little time to show you, just what you mean to me, oh yeah
It seems the more I get to know you, the more I need to make you see
You're everything I need, yeah
(Instrumental break)
Oho, I need ya, I need ya, I need ya...
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me
chorus
Close your eyes and take a look at your life
Do you like what you see?
My eyes are open but I feel like I'm blind
It's all returned tomeI want to know
Does a frozen river flow
Things we said
Fill my head
Lying in a cold and empty bed
I'm only dreamin'
Between the darkness and the light
I'm only dreamin, uh huh dreamin'
Can't tell the daylight from the night
I'm only dreamin', dreamin'
I feel the sunlight shining down on my face
Not a cloud in my mind
I get my wake up
But it never comes in time
My prayers are spoken
And I wait to receive
'cos there's a fine line between the truth
And how we want it to be
I'm only dreamin'
Between the darkness and the light
I'm only dreamin, uh huh dreamin'
Can't tell the daylight from the night
I'm only dreamin', dreamin'
I'm sailing like a ship on the sea
I don't care if I'm lost in the haze
I hear the angels singing softly to me
Time's the enemy that you never see
Won't you come and slip away
I'm only dreamin', I'm only dreamin', I'm only dreamin'
Yeah
I'm only dreamin', I'm only dreamin', I'm only dreamin'
Yeah
"Now lemme tell ya my story, I got a man-sized predicament
And it's a big one, goes like this, yeah"
My my, ow, yeah!
Never had confession, never had a home
Never had no worry, until I met Domino
Ain't the virgin Mary, love her I confess
Got my hesitations, 'cause she kisses like the kiss of death
Loves lots of money, back's against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she's got me by the balls
They call her Domino - "so fine"
Got a reputation, haven't got a hope
It's a sticky situation, if she ain't old enough to vote
Loves to play with fire, loves to hurt so good
Loves to keep me burnin', 'cause she's a bad habit, bad habit
Bad habit that's good, good, good
They call her Domino, Domino, Domino
(Instrumental break)
"Every damn time I walk through that door, it's the same damn thing
That bitch bends over, and I forget my name - ow!"
Loves lots of money, back's against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she's got me by the balls - ow!
Loves to play with fire, love her I confess
Got no hesitations, cause she's a bad habit, bad habit, she's a bad habit!
Look out, 'cause there's something wrong
And you don't know what it is
Watch out, or it's Sodom and Gommorah
The malevolent order
Right now, before it's much too late
Before it's much too late
A dark light, a darkness never ending
A dark light, the devil gets his due
A dark night is everywhere descending
A dark light is coming for you
Now look up, well, the skies are black
And they're getting darker all the time
Watch out, for the things that you believe in
You're gonna be attacked and you won't know what it is
Wise up, you better watch your step
You better watch your step
A dark light, a darkness never ending
A dark light of perversion and hate
A dark night is everywhere descending
A dark light, there's no time to wait
Look out, for the death of love
There will be no more love
Watch out, it's yourself that you are fooling
Who do you think you're fooling
Shout it out, it's a terrible thing
Such a terrible thing
A dark light, a darkness never ending
A dark light, the sun is turning cool
A dark night is everywhere descending
A dark light is shining at you
Dark light
Dark light
Is shining at you
Dark light
(Whoow! Here's a little song for everybody out there)
[Verse]
People try to take my soul away
But I don't hear the rap that they all say
They try to tell us we don't belong
That's alright, we're millions strong
This is my music, it makes me proud
These are my people and this is my crowd
[Chorus]
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
[Verse]
Sometimes days are so hard to survive
A million ways to bury you alive
The sun goes down like a bad bad dream
You're wound up tight, gotta let off steam
They say they can break you again and again
If life is a radio, turn up to ten
[Chorus] X2
And they try to tell us that we don't belong
But that's alright, we're millions strong
You are my people, you are my crowd
This is our music, we love it loud
Yeah, and nobody's gonna change me
'Cos that's who I am
[Chorus] X2
My heater's broke and I'm so tired
I need some fuel to build a fire
The girl next door, her lights are out, yeah
The landlord's gone, I'm down and out
It's cold gin time again
You know it'll always win
Cold gin time again
You know it's the only thing
That keeps us together
It's time to leave and get another quart
Around the corner at the liquor store
The cheapest stuff is all I need
To get me back on my feet again
It's cold gin time again
You know it'll always win
It's cold gin time again
You know it's the only thing
That keeps us together
It's cold gin time again
You know it'll always win
It's cold gin time again
You know it's the only thing
That keeps us together
She's got me dizzy
She sees me through to the end
She's got me in her hands
And there's no use in pretending
Christine sixteen
Christine sixteen
She drives me crazy
I want to give her all I've got
And she's hot every day and night
There is no doubt about it
I don't usually say things like this to girls your age
(Christine sixteen)
But when I saw you coming out of the school that day
That day I knew, I knew, I've got to have you, I've got to have you
(Christine sixteen)
She's been around
But she's young and clean
I've got to have her
Can't live without her, whoo no
Christine sixteen
Christine sixteen
Christine
(Christine)
Sixteen
(Sixteen)
Christine
Yeah yeah yeah
Christine
(Christine)
Sixteen
(Sixteen)
Christine
(Christine)
Yeah yeah yeah
I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks
So what, there's nothing left to do
And you and your obsessions and your crucifix
As if what I thought mattered much to you
And you were always my friend from Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand, it's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over
Sunday mornin' in the New York Times
I read you died last night
It said, you were smilin' when you blew your mind
And the note you left behind said
You were always my friend from Childhood's End
Seems like forever and ever
Yeah, you won't have to pretend, it's near the end
You won't ever be a rock and roller
Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over
You were just like me
I was just like you
For eternity I'll think of you
Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand, it's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over
Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand, it's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over
Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand, it's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over
Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand, it's Childhood's End
When I was seventeen
Found out just what it means
If you can get it free
It just ain't worth a damn
When I heard the preacher say
?Don't throw your life away?
And I got that message
And I wrote it on the wall
Well, I don't want anybody tellin' me lies
No, I don't want your diamond ring
'Cause you ain't got my size
I want money, money, that's what I need
I got Cadillac dreams
Please, Mister, don'tcha take it from me
Give me money, money, more than I need
I got Cadillac dreams waitin' on me
Cadillac dreams, Cadillac dreams
When I had the young boy blues
I paid some young boy dues
I learned the hard way
There's a heartbreak every day
Stone cold reality
Came crashing down on me
Well, life was hard on me
But I still don't give a damn
When I was seventeen
I was an angry young man
But I won't let just anybody
Tell me who I am
Just want money, money, that's all I need
I got Cadillac dreams
Hey, Mister, don'tcha take it from me
Give me money, money, more than I need
These Cadillac dreams are waitin' on me
Didn't have the time of day
'Til this dream was born
You can't take that away
You can't take that away from me
When I was seventeen
There was this beauty queen
Checked in a one room suite
The back seat of my car
When you want all the best things
Money can buy
You gotta reach down inside of you
To reach up to the sky
Yeah, I want money, money, that's all I need
I got Cadillac dreams
Hey, Mister, you can't take that from me
I want money, money, more than I need
I got Cadillac dreams waitin' on me
Money, money, that's what I need
We're drivin' in my Chevy with my Cadillac dreams
Someday, one day, just you and me
We'll ride inside these Cadillac dreams
Cadillac dreams, hey, hey, hey
That's right, hey, hey
It's Cadillac dreams waitin' on me
Yeah, gonna throw down the dice on a roll
It's a showdown, gonna walk on hot coals
Cut the deck, better place your bet
'Cause the game ain't over yet
Wanna keep you under lock and key
Can't you see what you do to me?
Get the noose, I know I'm gonna hang
'Cause you're like a boomerang, a boomerang
Yeah, on the way up, you change your tune
So pay up and it ain't too soon
Can't make up or break up, can't feel a thing
You want a piece of everything
First you're cold and then you're hot
You're in the mood and then you're not
Yeah, I know I'll get a bang
'Cause you're like a boomerang, a boomerang
Yeah yeah yeah, you can slip and you can slide
But there ain't nothin' you can hide

You're so smooth and tender, a living, breathing dream
I've got to have you, baby, I'm listenin' for your scream
(I'm almost human)
I'm almost a man
(I'm almost human)
I'm almost human, baby, please don't run away

You do me wrong but still I'm crazy about you
Stay away too long and I can't live without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my love stronger than before
I know flowers go through rain, how can love go through pain?
Ain't that peculiar?
Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar?
That's what it is to me, hey
You tell me lies that should be obvious to me
But there is so much lovin' to see
But the things you do and say are designed to make me blue
It's a doggone shame my love for you makes all your lies seem true
But if truth makes love last longer, why do lies make my love stronger
Ain't that peculiar?
Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar?
That's what it is to me
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
If hurt can last for years, how can love last through tears?
Ain't that peculiar?
Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar?
That's what it is to me
Ain't that peculiar?
Oh yeah, that's what it is
Ain't that peculiar?
Well, my name it is a number it's on a piece of plastic film
And I've been growin' funny flowers outside on my little window sill
Don't you know I'm a 2,000 man
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
You know, my wife still respects me even though I really misuse her
I am having an affair with the Random computer
Don't you know I'm a 2,000 man
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
Oh daddy, proud of your planet, oh mommy, proud of your sun
Oh daddy, proud of your planet, oh mommy, proud of your sun
Oh daddy, your brain's still flashin' like they did when you were young
Or did they come down crashin' seeing all the thing's you'd done
Spacin' out havin' fun
Oh daddy, proud of your planet, oh mommy, proud of your sun
Oh daddy, proud of your planet, oh mommy, proud of your sun
Oh daddy, your brain's still flashin' like they did when you were young
Or did they come down crashin' seeing all the thing's you'd done
Spacin' out havin' fun
Don't you know I'm a 2,000 man
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
Don't you know I'm a 2,000 man
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
Understand me, understand me, understand me
Don't you know I'm a 2,000 man
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
Don't you know I'm a 2,000 man
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
I'm a 2,000 man, I'm a 2,000 man
I'm a 2,000 man, I'm a 2,000 man
She's got the magic touch
And you're walkin' around in a dream
She's got the magic touch
Oh no, but it ain't what it seems
You feel there's a fire burnin'
When she feels cold inside
But you still want her much too much
One day when she leaves you lonely
You won't be satisfied
Until you feel her magic touch
Her magic touch, her magic touch, her magic touch
She's got the magic touch
And you're under a spell that she's cast
She's got the magic touch
Oh no, but it ain't gonna last
She's keepin' her love light shinin'
To blind you from her lie
But you still need her, oh so much
And when she says she's leaving
That's when you realize
How much you need her magic touch
Her magic touch, her magic touch, her magic touch
And in the night in the crowd
She'll be there
As she prances by your watch
While your dreams fade away
She's got the magic touch
And you're walkin' around in a dream
She's got the magic touch
Oh no, but it ain't what it seems
One day when she leaves you lonely
You'll miss her, oh, so much
Until you feel her magic touch
Her magic touch, her magic touch, her magic touch
She's got the magic touch, I really want her
She's got the magic touch, and I still need her
She's got the magic touch, I really want her
She's got the magic touch, and I really want her
You were in the right
Until you're left stuck in the middle
I still wonder why
You gave it all for such a little
Tell me you're only
Scared to be lonely
On and on
Livin' on credit
Want it, you get it
Right or wrong
You oughtta take a look in the mirror
Every line's gettin' clearer
See the face you can't deny
You appear to me
Appear to be lost in confusion
I don't wanna live
Only to die in your illusion
Dial information
Station to station
On and on
Lie to your lover
Make him your cover
Blindfold on
You oughtta take a look in the mirror
Every line's gettin' clearer
See the face you can't deny
Take a look in the mirror
All your fear gettin' nearer
Nothin' left to get you by
Only a matter of time
Leavin' illusion behind
Tick Tock
You won't realize
'Till all the eyes are truly open
You can't hide away
Throw what you may, when all is broken
Go on and take a look in the mirror
All your fear gettin' nearer
Nothin' left to get you buy
You oughtta take a look in the mirror
Every line's gettin' clearer
In a world of doubt and danger, you see it everywhere
Your friends turn into strangers, does anybody care
But when all hope is lost, I'm gonna be there, whatever the cost
When you feel lost
Someone to hold you with all of their might
Through the darkness night, I'll be there
Chorus:
I'll fight hell to hold you, no river too deep or mountain high
I'll fight hell to hold you by my side
I'm gonna fight hell to hold you, till time stands still and worlds collide
I'll fight hell to hold you by my side
Ooh, the jealous and the lonely, they try to keep us apart
But let 'em come between us, that's when the trouble starts
'Cause there's one thing I know, I'll be beside you wherever you go
You can be sure
Someone to carry you into the light, swear with all my might, I'll be there
chorus - ooh, by my side
'Cause there's one thing I know, I'll be beside you wherever you go
You can be sure
Someone to carry you into the light, swear with all my might, I'll be there
In the night I will be waitin'
Ready to go, soon as the daylight is fadin'
In the night my heart is beating
Out of control, can't stop the way that I'm feeling
I wanna know how far to go, takin' my life in my hands
Out on my own, fighting alone, call me the desperate
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me measures of pleasure and pain, boiling the
blood in my veins
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me nothing to stand in my way, I'll make the best
of my days
In the night, oh, I can feel it
Time slips away, if I can't pay I will steal it
In the night I will be screamin'
Hour by hour livin' the life that I'm dreamin'
Under the gun, I'll be the one, walking the edge of the
knife
Taking the best, leaving the rest, I'm gonna run for my
life
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me measures of pleasure and pain, boiling the
blood in my veins
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me nothing to stand in my way, I'll make the best
of my days
I wanna know how far to go, takin' my life in my hands
Out on my own, fighting alone, call me the desperate
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me fires that endlessly burn, I've passed the
point of return
It's been a month or two since I was sleepin' with you
I'm comin' home again
I've been to East and West, but baby I like best
The road that leads to you
Oh girl, it seems the whole wide world seems to say
Hotels that all look the same
Just seem to drive me insane
But I can't get away
Until I receive a call that tells me that will be all
And then I hop a plane
It's true, I'm not sure if you know
I'm comin' home to you
Oh girl, it seems the whole wide world seems to say
Hotels that all look the same
Just seem to drive me insane
But I can't get away
Until I receive a call that tells me that will be all
And then I hop a plane
It's true, I'm not sure if you know
I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home to you
Put your hand in my pocket
Grab onto my rocket
Feels so good to see you receive
Baby got to know
Do do you want to go
How you gonna make me feel
I said 'Go baby, you make me feel ah, ah, ah, ah yeah
Oh, baby, you make me feel ah, ah, ah, ah yeah'
So take me any way you want me
Just break me any way you can
Take me any way you want me, now
Make me feel like a man, yeah
Sittin' in the back
Her head down in my lap
The moonlight shinin' down on her hair
The radio was playin'
Her fingertips were strayin'
Her mama didn't she was there, no
She said 'Oh baby, you make me feel ah, ah, ah, ah yeah
Oh, baby, you make me feel ah, ah, ah, ah yeah'
So take me any way you want me
Just break me any way you can
Take me any way you want me, now
Make me feel like a man
Make me feel it, baby
Ahh, take me any way you want me
Ah, ah, ah, ah yeah, take me baby
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Take me, take me, take me, love me
Take me, squeeze me, hug me, any way you can
Take me any way you want me, now
Ah, ah, ah, ah yeah, ah ah ah ah
Take me, whoo, any way you want me
Squeeze me, you can have it any way you can
Take me, hold me baby, come on, now, come on, now
Ah, ah, ah, ah yeah
Take me
In the morning I raise my head
And I'm thinkin' of days gone by
And the thing I want out of life is
I want you (I want you)
I want you (I want you)
You can run, you can hide
But you never get away
You can lie and deny
But you know you're gonna pay
Never loved, never thought you could
Treat you right, girl, you know I would
You can fight but tonight
There's nothin' you can do
I want you (I want you)
Baby, baby, babe, I want you (I want you)
You can walk in a haze
You can travel till you die
You can live in a dream
your life will pass you by
Every day that you hesitate
You're never changin' the hands of fate
You can fight but tonight
There's nothing you can do
I want you (I want you)
Baby, baby, babe I want you (I want you)
In the morning I raise my head
And I'm thinkin' of days gone by
And the thing I want out of life is
I want you (I want you)
Baby, baby, babe I want you (I want you)
I want you (I want you)
Baby, baby, babe I want you (I want you)
I want you (I want you)
I want you (I want you)
I want you (I want you)
I want you (I want you)
Ah (I want you) (I want you)
I got a body built for sin
and an appetite for passion
Yeah I can see the road to ruin
and I'm lookin' for some action
I got my finger on the trigger
and a match to the fuse
I'll make someone an offer
that's too big to refuse
Tired of tryin' to be
what I'll never be baby
you could never see that
I don't want a romance
I don't wanna dance
I just wanna forget you
Time to take my chances
find somebody new
I just wanna for-
I just wanna for-
I just wanna forget you
I'm gonna set the night on fire
shootin' like a roman candle
Ooh yeah I'm burnin' with desire
and I'm much too hot to handle
I'm like a runaway crazy train
I'm out of control
If you try to put the brakes on
I'm still gonna roll
Tired of tryin' to do
what you want me to baby
I'm just tired of you, yeah
I don't want a romance
I don't wanna dance
I just wanna forget you
Time to take my chances
find somebody new
I just wanna for-
I just wanna for-
I just wanna for-
I just wanna forget you
(instrumental break)
Wake up baby, don't you sleep
I can't take this one more week
If I can't go out to play
I can't make it one more day
I wanna play with dynamite
time is right for heavy breathing
Gettin' stone cold crazy till
the dawn without a reason
I wanna take me a vacation
down a long stretch of track
I'll find a new sensation
and I ain't comin' back
Tired of tryin' to be
what I'll never be baby
you could never see that
I don't want a romance
I don't wanna dance
I just wanna forget you
Time to take my chances
find somebody new
I just wanna for-
I just wanna for-
I just wanna for-
I just wanna forget you
(repeat 2x)
You better listen up, since you screwed me you've been on my mind
Yeah, 'til the day we met, I was cruisin', I was doin' fine
Ooh, but now my world's gone crazy and I think about you all the time
I'm gonna tell it to ya baby, it ain't like it was
There'll be no ifs ands or maybes, only justice because
Hey, baby (I got an angry soul, I got a broken home)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(I got no self-control, you gotta heart of chrome)
Yeah, sugar
(and now you're gonna see, that since you messed with me)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(You'll pay eternally, for your heart of chrome)
For your heart of chrome
Yeah, you really made a fool outta me
Everybody knew you used me, but I was just too blind to see
You taped our sexy conversations and you sold 'em to the BBC
You told me people can't be trusted, you gotta watch the things they do
But if you still believe in justice,
I'm gonna give it to ya, give it to ya
Ooh!
Hey, baby (I got an angry soul, I got a broken home)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(I got no self-control, you gotta heart of chrome)
Yeah, sugar
(and now you're gonna see, that since you messed with me)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(You'll pay eternally, for your heart of chrome)
You told me lies about all that you feel
I realize now that nothing was real
You took everything you could beg borrow steal
Hey, baby (I got an angry soul, I got a broken home)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(I got no self-control, you gotta heart of chrome)
Yeah, sugar
(and now you're gonna see, that since you messed with me)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(You'll pay eternally, for your heart of chrome)
Hey, baby (I got an angry soul, I got a broken home)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(I got no self-control, you gotta heart of chrome)
Yeah, sugar
(and now you're gonna see, that since you messed with me)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(You'll pay eternally, for your heart of chrome)
Tryin' to say I'm sorry, didn't mean to break your heart
And find you waitin' up by the light of day
There's a lot I want to tell you, but I don't know where to start
And I don't know what I'd do if you walked away
Ooh, baby I tried to make it, I just got lost along the way
Chorus:
But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin' thru, it's easy to see
And every time I hold you, the things I never told you, seem to come easily
'Cause you're everything to me
I never really wanted to let you get inside my heart
I wanted to believe this would soon be ending
I thought it wouldn't matter, if it all just came apart
But now I realize I was just pretending
Ooh, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me
chorus
It's gonna take a little time to show you, just what you mean to me, oh yeah
It seems the more I get to know you, the more I need to make you see
You're everything I need, yeah
(Instrumental break)
Oho, I need ya, I need ya, I need ya...
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me
chorus
You're everything to me, you're everything to me
Rock 'n' roll
Baby gets tired, everybody knows
Your mother tells you, baby has to show
Yeah, yeah
Let me go
'Cause baby's got the feelin'
Baby wants a show
Baby, won't you tell me
Baby, rock 'n' roll
Yeah, yeah
I never knew I needed a baby like you
I never knew I needed you like I do
Yeah, yeah
Let me go
'Cause baby's got the feelin'
Baby wants a show
Baby, won't you tell me
Baby, rock 'n' roll
Yeah, yeah
You try so hard to please
You get me hard you know
Baby, won't you squeeze
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
'Cause baby's got the feelin'
Baby wants a show
Baby, won't you tell me
Baby, rock 'n' roll
Yeah, yeah

Chorus:
And we go one, two, three, four, when midnight comes, I'll be at your door
Five, six, seven, eight, oh, oh, I just can't wait
I'm gonna bang, bang you - I'll shoot you down with my love gun, baby
Bang, bang you - I got you in the heart, you're gonna be mine, yeah
Hands up, reach for the sky, I'll treat you good, 'cause I'm a bad guy
If love's a crime I've got a hundred schemes
I'll be the villain in your book of dreams
chorus
(You know what I'm talking about. Ooh, come on!)
(Listen) - chorus
Bang, bang you, I'll shoot you down with my love gun, baby
Bang, bang you, I got you in the heart, you're gonna be mine, yeah
Like a fly to a spider, you're under the spell
It's the game and the liar, for those who toll the bell
You're more than just a name, you fight for the right
Like a moth to a flame, you see the bait you bite
You're restless and wild and walkin' the line
You're not just another pretty face
Need an answer fast and you're runnin' out of time
And the night goes on for days
Young and wasted - ooh yeah, ooh yeah - young and wasted
You been branded by the iron, you been cut by the knife
There's a monkey on your back runnin' up and down your spine
Up and down your spine
You hunger for the fire and run with the pack
But you know damn well there ain't no turnin' back
Ain't no turnin' back, no no
You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't
You laugh in the face of the fates
Fallen angels spread their wings, so you cross the gates of hate
Young and wasted - I can almost taste it, I can almost taste it
Young and wasted - ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't
You laugh in the face of the fates
Fallen angels spread their wings, so let the heaven say
Young and wasted, young and wasted
Young and wasted - I can almost taste it, I can almost taste it
Young and wasted
Young and wasted
Young and wasted
Young and wasted
Young and wasted
Young and wasted
Young and wasted
You're the only girl I've been dreamin' of
You're the only woman I ever loved
I want you to believe it's true
There's nothing I would rather do
My heart belongs to you, I know what I'm at
You're all that I want
You're all that I need
You're all that I see
You're everything to me
You're all that I want
And you need to feel my love inside
And I need to show what I can't hide
It's something that you just can't fight
It feels so good it must be right
There ain't no use in lyin' to myself
Chorus:
You're all that I want
You're all that I need
You're all that I see
You're everything to me
You're all that I feel
You're my dream come true
You're my everything
No matter what you do
You're all that I want
And if you leave me, don't say goodbye, 'cause you're all I need to get by
chorus to fade
Make-Up or break up - 'cause we've seen better days
(Yeah) They'll have to drag you kickin' & screamin' off the stage
Listen - don't do me favors - don't show your face
Don't tell me not to play 'cause its not your place
You tell lies when you look at me, smile when you look away
Spin a web any fool can see, put your candy on display
It's a game of who needs who, who's on top, me or you
Pleasure and pain feel the same when the night is thru
Chorus:
Girl you want me to cry, feel like I'm gonna die
Girl you want me to bleed, feel the thrill of my need
Girl you want me to bed, wish to hell I was dead
Cos you love me to hate you, yeah you love me to hate you
Girl you love me to hate you, and the more that I hate you I love you
You're like a cat on a hot tin roof, I love it when you scratch and bite
You got my heart in a hangman's noose, pull the rope and make it tight
Love's like a chain holdin' you to me, you're the lock, baby I'm the key
Don't wanna walk 'cause we're caught in a fantasy
chorus
It's a game of who needs who, who's on top, me or you
Pleasure and pain feel the same when the night is thru
chorus
Cos you love me to hate you, yeah you love me to hate you
Girl you love me to hate you, and the more that I hate you I love you
And the more that I hate you I love you
Yeah the more that I hate you I lo
Cry without tears
See without sight
Night without day
And every day's black as the night
Fly without wings
Feel without touch
Touch without feel
And everywhere nothing is real
I wanna see from within
I wanna be where I've been
I know a truth from a lie
I wanna live 'fore I die
Life without death
World without end
Sleep without dreams
And nothing is quite what it seems
I want something
More than you'll know
Follow myself
And go where you can never go
And I see though my eyes are closed
I wanna see from within
I wanna be where I've been
I know a thruth from a lie
I wanna live 'fore I die
Inside you without your blessing
Inside me is me confessing
Outside you is outside me
And inside there is no guarantee, no
I wanna see from within
I wanna be where I've been
I know a truth from a lieI wanna live 'fore I die
Cry without tears
Your lightnin's all I need
My satisfaction grows
You make me feel at ease
You even make me glow
Don't cut the power on me
I'm feelin' low, so get me high
Shock me, make me feel better
Shock me, put on your black leather
Shock me, we can come together
And baby, if you do what you've been told
My insulation's gone, girl you make me overload
Don't pull the plug on me, no, no
Keep it in and keep me high
Shock me, make me feel better
Shock me, put on your black leather
Shock me, we can come together
Come on
Shock me, baby, shock me, oh yeah
Shock me, baby, shock me, oh yeah
Shock me, make me feel better, oh yeah
Come on and shock me, put on your black leather
Baby, I'm down to the bare wire
Shock me, we can come together
Oh yeah, I wanna feel your power
Shock me, make me feel better
Baby, I'm down to the bare wire
Shock me, put on your black leather
Baby, come on, come on, shock me
What goes on behind closed doors, private wounds, open sores
You're your own worst enemy and cheap thrills bring you to your knees
It's thumbs down for someone you know, and it's easy come and easy go
Chorus:
Burn your bridges, take what you can get
Go for the throat 'cause you paid your debt
Livin' well is the best revenge, so give 'em hell
While the city sleeps - it's all there in black and white
While the city sleeps - through the eye of the needle, gotta thread your life
While the city sleeps - while the city sleeps
It's a hit or miss, an eye for an eye, live for today, and don't ask why
For better or worse, you bought and sold
They love you while you're hot and leave you when you're cold
chorus
While the city sleeps - yeah, better run for your life
Take your troubles to the night
While the city sleeps - yeah, beggars, thieves and losers, there's no relief
While the city sleeps - there's no relief, while the city sleeps
While the city sleeps - yeah
chorus
While the city sleeps - while the city sleeps
While the city sleeps - while the city sleeps
While the city sleeps - yeah, there's no relief
While the city sleeps
Liar, liar, got your pants on fire
I know you want it, you know you want it too
Hey diddle diddle, when the cat wants to fiddle
The kitten's gotta give him the moon
And they say "you gotta look before you leap"
And "we're gonna judge you by the friends you keep"
But you're looking nasty and I'm in too deep
You'll be real happy to be losing sleep
When your walls come down, when your walls come down
When your walls come down, you get so crazy when there's no one around
You got your script from a Cosmo guide, "15 Ways to Find a Lover"
Don't you make me chase you, cause the author lied
You'll get your answers, babe, under the covers
You say "I wanna wait until I'm really sure"
And "I want a love to last forever more"
And "I've got my pride, I've got my dignity"
Well you'll swallow everything when you're with me
When your walls come down, when your walls come down
When your walls come down, you get so crazy when there's no one around
When your walls come down, when your walls come down
When your walls come down, ah, you're so
(Come here baby and - auw...)
And they say "you gotta look before you leap"
And "we're gonna judge you by the friends you keep"
Listen, you're looking nasty and I'm in too deep
You'll be real happy to be losing sleep
When your walls come down, when your walls come down
When your walls come down, you get so crazy when there's no one around
When your walls come down, when your walls come down
When your walls come down, you get so crazy when there's no one around
When your walls come down, when your walls come down
When your walls come down, you get so crazy when there's no one around
When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
If your heart is in your dreams, nothing else is too extreme
When you wish upon a star as dreamers do
(Fate is kind, she brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing)
Like a boat out of the blue, fate steps in and sees you thru
When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true
You're breakin' my heart, I'm fallin' apart, you make me crazy, crazy
You're breakin' my heart, I don't wanna start a new day, new day
I'm wreckin' my brain, I'm feelin' insane, you make me crazy, crazy
I'm changin' my ways, I'm leavin' today, but things look hazy, hazy
I can't express the words to tell you 'bout the feelings I got,
locked up inside
If only you would give me a reason why you're so uptight, what's on your mind?
Maybe we could make it one more time, maybe we should try it again
Maybe we could make it one more time, baby please let me know when
You're breakin' my heart, I'm fallin' apart, you make me crazy, crazy
You're breakin' my heart, I'm spinnin' apart, I'm lookin' this and that way
I can't express the words to tell you 'bout the feelings I got,
locked up inside
If only you would give me a reason why you're so uptight, what's on your mind?
What's on your mind, what's on your mind, what's on your mind - tell me
Maybe we could make it one more time, maybe we should try it again
Maybe we could make it one more time, baby please let me know when
I can't express the words to tell you 'bout the feelings I got,
locked up inside
If only you would give me a reason why you're so uptight, what's on your mind?
I can't express the words to tell you 'bout the feelings I got,
locked up inside
If only you would give me a reason why you're so uptight, what's on your mind?
Limpin' as you do and I'm watchin' you
And you don't really know a-just what to do
You don't really know
You don't really know
What to do
And I'm standin' here not quite aware
And I'm tryin' baby, tryin' not to stare
Ooh, 'cause everybody else is here
Yes, everybody else is here
Everybody else is here
Watchin' you
Ooh, 'cause everybody else is here
Yes, everybody else is here
Everybody else is here
Watchin' us
Wanna bite the hand that feeds me, wanna turn the tides
Set the demons free and watch 'em fly
Strike down the one who leads me, I'm gonna take his place
Gonna vindicate the human race
Better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine
Better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine
Take the reins of power and seize them,
draw the battle lines
Armageddon's just a matter of time
Tear down the voice of reason, let the arrows fly
Your freedom's just a state of mind, yeah
Better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine
You better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine
You better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine
You better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine
Better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine
I'm a war machine, I'm a war machine
Though you may be pure of heart
And free of sin
And though you have been chosen
To begin
And yet you must be worthy of
The prophecy
But seek and you shall find
Your destiny
Loneliness will haunt you
Will you sacrifice?
Do you take the oath
Will you live your life
Under the rose
The more you hurt the less you feel
The pain
And the more you change, the more you stay
The same
But now before you lies the quest
At hand
And from this boy you may become
A man
Do you understand
Will you sacrifice?
Do you take the oath
Will you live your life
Under the rose
Lookin' for a thrill, you'll get it my way
Let's hit the highway, I'll take you down
Shoot out in the night, lookin' for action
The main attraction is back in town
Press the pedal to the metal, on your mark, set, go

Under the gun - when the stakes are gettin' bigger

Man battlestations torpedo, man battlestations torpedo
I thought I'd go out and take a swim today
It was real hot and I just had to get away
They spotted an unknown sub down in the bay
But I don't care, think I'll go swimmin' anyway - yeah
Let's take a dive, torpedo girl, and feel alive, torpedo girl
Let's take a dive, torpedo girl, and feel alive
But I knew when I was in the suds and swimmin' around
But then all of a sudden I heard this rumblin' sound
I saw this thing that looked a lot like a submarine
With a pretty girl on the bridge, could this be a dream?
I don't know, could be
Let's take a dive, torpedo girl, and feel alive, torpedo girl
Let's take a dive, torpedo girl, and feel alive
Come on, get your feet wet
Torpedo girl, let's take a dive, torpedo girl, and feel alive

In a dream a long time ago
We fell in love, but what did we know
Years seemed to pass as time took its toll
You're here at last, so why must you go
But tonight you belong to me, yeah
Yes, tonight you belong to me
I know you're leavin', goin' away
And I'm goin' out of my head
Well, go on and leave me, what can I say
You don't hear a word that I say
But tonight you belong to me
Yeah, tonight you belong to me
You belong, you belong
Well, don't say "I love you", baby, love isn't sorrow and pain
I hope and pray this never happens again
Well, go on and leave me, all I can say
Baby, I know you will be sorry some day
But, tonight you belong to me
Oh, tonight you belong to me, hey
You belong
Oh, tonight you belong to me, yeah
Yeah, tonight you belong to me
Yeah, tonight you belong to me

I didn't know just what to say
When you turned and you looked my way.
It doesn't happen to me ev'ry day;
Can we talk a while?
I didn't know just what to do
I couldn't seem to take my eyes off you.
You know I wanted just to take you home
But that's not your style.
And tomorrow
we're gonna fall in love
Fall in love.
Tomorrow
we're gonna fall in love.
Tomorrow
tomorrow!
I didn't even know your name
Like a moth
Iwas in your flame.
I knew you wanted me to feel real good
By the way you smiled.
You didn't have to say a word
I tried to tell you but I lost my nerve
You know I wanted just to slip away
For a little while.
And tomorrow
we're gonna fall in love
. . .
We're gonna fall in love
fall in love
Fall in love
fall in love - with you.
I didn't know just what to say.
This doesn't happen to me ev'ry day
And it's not my style.
And tomorrow
we're gonna fall in love
. . .
And tomorrow
we're gonna fall in love
Far off in the distance, a shape in the night, alright
On a mission of mercy, if the price is right
He tries to possess her and she bites
It's a ritual slaying, but the tables are turned, oh no
And now he's prayin', but it's his turn to burn
Like a thief in the night - she breaks into his heart
Like a thief in the night - she never leaves her mark
In a hotel chamber, on a cryptic note
'Cos where there's fire, there's gotta be smoke, oh no
Footsteps in the twilight, and red nails 'round his throat
It's a ritual slaying, without strings attached, oh no
And now he's praying, but there's no turning back
Like a thief in the night - she breaks into his heart
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night - she never leaves her mark
Like a thief in the night - alright, alright
Like a thief in the night - she breaks into his heart
Like a thief in the night - alright, alright
Like a thief in the night - she never leaves her mark
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night
Well, she walked up to me
And she asked me if I wanted to dance
She looked kind of nice
And so I said I might take a chance
When we danced she held me tight
And when I walked her home that night
All the stars were shinin' bright
And then she kissed me
Each time I saw her I couldn't wait to see her again
I wanted to let her know that she was more than a friend
I didn't know just what to do, so I whispered I love you
She said that she loved me too and then she kissed me
She kissed me in a way that I'd never been kissed before
She kissed me in a way that I want to be kissed forever more
I knew that she was mine, so I gave her all the lovin' I had
And one day she took me home to meet her ma and her dad
Then I asked her to be my bride and always be right by my side
Felt so happy, she almost cried and then she kissed me
Then I asked her to be my bride and always be right by my side
Felt so happy, she almost cried and then she kissed me
And then she kissed me
And then she kissed me
Hey man, gotta take a stand, so you think that you've been had
I'm here to bet ya, street's gonna get ya, well two out of three ain't bad
Hey man, it's gettin' out of hand, cross your heart and hope to die
You got yours, and I got mine, I'm gonna get what's comin' to ya
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no way
Hey man, don't you understand, you can run but you can't hide
There ain't no life after death, so save your breath (you're gonna)
Be a rock 'n roll suicide
Hey man, do you need a hand, but I ain't no blessing in disguise
Feel the agony, and the ecstacy, it's gonna burn right through ya
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no way
Life's too short, so help yourself, 'cause I don't walk on water
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no way
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
When I see you, girl you turn my head, you make me dizzy
I get a good vibration
When I look into your big blue eyes, I start to quiver and shake
I get a strange sensation
When you walk by me you strut around, you make me crazy, I get no relaxation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation, talk to me
People tell me that you run around and that you're no good
You got a bad reputation
I don't care what all the people say, you know they talk too much
It's a fascination
All I wanna do is talk to you and maybe go out, and form some kind of relation
So talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - why don't you
Talk to me - c'mon and talk to me
I just wanna talk to you
Girl I wish you knew the way I felt, you think I'm silly, that it's infatuation
So we better get together soon, because I need you girl
I can't stand the frustration, so
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - why don't you
Talk to me - c'mon and talk to me
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - I just wanna talk to you
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - I just wanna talk to you
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - I just wanna talk to you
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - I just wanna talk to you
My eyes were burnin'
Lookin' back on all of my memories
And my mind was dreamin like it does
She wore white and in the night we made love
Together, I remember, together as one
It came so easy
But now it seems so long ago
My chance is fading into night
I can't change or rearrange what I've done
Together, I remember, together as one
Together, I remember, together as one
Yesterday, is far away, so take me out to sea
Far away, I've been what never will be
Check me in, to lose or win, I'm livin' memories
The drift begins, the dream of it sets me free
We lived each moment as if the days would never end
It seemed our lives had just begun
I can't stay, I'll make my way on the run
Together, I remember, together as one
Together, I remember, together as one
Yesterday, is far away, so take me out to sea
Far away, I've been what never will be
Check me in, to lose or win, I'm livin' memories
The drift begins, the dream of it sets me free
Yesterday, is far away, so take me out to sea
Far away, I've been what never will be
Check me in, lose or win, livin' memories
The drift begins, the dream of it sets me free
I know a thing or two about her
I know she'll only make you cry
She'll let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants she'll pass you by
Ev'rybody said she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter!
Strutter!
Strutter!
She wears her satin like a lady
She gets her way just like a child
You take her home and she says "Maybe, baby"
She takes you down and drives you wild
Ev'rybody said she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter!
I know a thing or two about her
I know she'll only make you cry
She'll let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants, she'll pass you by
Everybody said she's lookin' good, and the lady knows it's understood
Strutter - I know she'll just make you cry
Strutter - look out, that girl will just pass you by
Strutter - whoa oh, she gets her way like a child
Strutter - mama, that girl will just drive you wild
Strutter (repeats out)
Well, it's a strange way
The way you look at me
And it's a hard time
Time you been givin' me
Come on and open up
Open up to me
So you can realize
That I could set you free
Strange ways
Twisted days
Strange ways
Twisted days
Well, it's a strange place
That you've been livin' in
And it's a strange line
You've been deliverin'
I think I like it
But I'm not really sure
Don't wanna to fight it
Just wanna feel some more
Strange ways
Twisted days
Strange ways
Twisted days
Strange ways
Twisted days
Strange ways
I know a thing or two about her
I know she'll only make you cry
She'll let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants she'll pass you by
Ev'rybody said, she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter
She wears her satin like a lady
She gets her way just like a child
You take her home and she says, "Maybe, come on, baby"
She puts you down and drives you wild
Ev'rybody said, she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter
I know a thing or two about her
I know she'll only make you cry
She'll let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants, she'll pass you by
Everybody said, she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood

Don't you know my temperature is startin' to rise up
And it's draggin' me under your spell
Chorus:
Somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell
Somewhere between pleasure and pain
I'm about to go insane, I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry
You don't have to see no furtune teller, to see I just can't take no more
You been such a heartbreaker, baby, you keep a lock on heaven's door
Ain't you tired of goin' through the motions
And standin' in the shadow of love
Somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell
Somewhere between the truth and a lie
Sometimes I wonder why, I can't hurt you, I can't hurt you
Don't need your lovin', don't want nothin'
Don't need your sympathy, don't need a friend
I just need somethin' I can believe in, I can believe in
Ain't you tired of goin' through the motions
And hidin' in the shadow of love
I'm somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want me, but I can never tell
Somewhere between pleasure and pain
I'm about to go insane, I'm so hungry
Somewhere between love and hate
Don't know just what I'm feelin', babe I think it's gettin' late
Somewhere between the truth and a lie
Sometimes I wonder why, I can't hurt you...
Well, the night's begun and you want some fun
Do you think you're gonna find it (think you're gonna find it)
You got to treat yourself like number one
Do you need to be reminded (need to be reminded)
It doesn't matter what you do or say
Just forget the things that you've been told
We can't do it any other way
Everybody's got to rock and roll, whoo, oh, oh
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
If you don't feel good, there's a way you could
Don't sit there broken hearted (sit there broken hearted)
Call all your friends in the neighborhood
And get the party started (get the party started)
Don't let 'em tell you that there's too much noise
They're too old to really understand
You'll still get rowdy with the girls and boys
'Cause it's time for you to take a stand, yeah, yeah
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
You've got to have a party
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Turn it up louder
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Everybody shout it now
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Oh yeah
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Hear it gettin' louder
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
And everybody shout it now
I know it's around, I don't have any doubts about that night
I'll see you get it tonight, and if I can't I'll cry and cry
You won't see me without it and I'll see you tonite
But I know it's around, I don't have any doubts about that night
I'll see you get it tonight, and if I can't I'll cry and cry
You won't see me without it and I'll see you tonite, outside
See you tonite, outside, see you tonite

He always wears his Bible belt
The collar under his head
It's like a noose around his neck
His sandaled feet don't touch the ground
Ears don't hear a sound
Seduction of the innocent
Everybody thinks there's always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons
And don't know why
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin?
The padre looks well fed
Remember what the good book said
Vultures circle overhead
Whatever gets you through the night
Friends sing to clear your mind
Seduction of the innocent
Everybody thinks there's always a reason

Do you wonder do I wanna make you scream and shout - shout it out
Would you like to see what's in my brain
Does your curiosity make you insane - insane
Baby you're just wastin' precious time, if you want to know what's on my mind
Read my body, are the letters big enough
Read my body, do you like the book of my love
Read my body, turn the page, get to the good stuff, read my body
Would you like to go on a moonlight ride
Do you think you wanna show me what you're like inside
Would you like to touch, do you wanna know

I got a letter just the other day
She sent a picture but she didn't sign her name
She wore high heels, and a little black lace
I knew her body but i couldn't see her face
She didn't leave her number, not an address or a clue
But something in that photograph reminded me of you
Baby, lets put the X in sex
Loves like a muscle and you make me want to flex
Baby lets put the x in sex
keep it undercover baby let me be your private eye
I got a call in the middle of the night
Heavy breathing never sounded quite so nice
She said ooh yeah I wish that I was there
I asked her who was calling but she wasn't playing fair
Sometime you gotta to suffer for the pleasure that you seek
Your begging for an eyefull but you only get a peek
Baby lets put the x in sex
loves like a muscle and you make me want to flex
Baby, lets put the x in sex
Keep it undercover baby let me be your private eye.
Oh yeah (yeah)
I heard somebody knocking so I opened up the door
She wore a hat shades and a trench coat
wasn't wearing that much more
she said she knew my secrets but I didn't have a clue
Then I saw those black lace panties and I knew that it was you
Baby lets put the x in sex
loves like a muscle and you make me want to flex
Baby, lets put the x in sex
Keep it undercover baby let me be your private eye.

If I can survive, and if you can't deny it
Don't give me love, no, don't even try it
Just give me your trust, and I'll tell you no lies
This is the truth, and I don't know why
Can't you hear your heart is beatin' (Don't you hear it beatin')
Don't you feel that sweet sweet feelin' (Can't you feel that feelin')
Anytime you need some lovin'
Yeah, I know, I'm a prisoner of love, and I can't break these chains
Yeah, yes I know, but here comes that feelin' again
And if you can't believe all your alibis, I can tell by that look in your eyes
When we make love, you play hard to bet, you bet, what you give is what you get
Anytime I see you goin' (Anytime I see you gone)
Everytime the feelin's growin' (This feelin's growin')
Anytime I need your lovin'
Yeah, I know, I'm a prisoner of love, and I can't break these chains
Yeah, yes I know, but here comes that feelin' again
I know it's much too late, but I can't help this feelin', no I can't look away
Yeah, I know, I'm a prisoner of love, and I can't break these chains
Yeah, yes I know, but here comes that feelin' again
Yeah, I know, I'm a prisoner of love, and I can't break these chains
Yeah, yes I know, but here comes that feelin' again

Only you have the answers
But the questions you have to find
Only you know the secrets
But the truth lies deep in your mind
Only you are the answer
You turn the night into day - yeah
Only you are the manchild
You are the light and you are the way
Tell me the secrets
I wanna know
Tell me the secrets
I wanna know
Only you
Only you are the manchild
You are the light and you are the way
I can't believe this is is true
Why do I listen to you
If I am all that you say
Why am I still so afraid
Only you.... ! Only you.... !
Only you.... !
In every age
In every time
A hero is born
As if by a grand design
From a far off galaxy, I hear you calling me
we are on an odyssey
Through the realms of time and space
In that enchanted place
You and I come face to face
Once upon not yet, long ago someday
Countless times we've met, met along the way
Through the luminescent night
On beams of neon light
You and I in wing-ged flight
As we cross the starry sea, powered by what we see
Now and then, the victory
Once upon not yet, long ago someday
Countless times we've met, met along the way
There's a child in a sundress
Looking at a rainy sky
There's a place in the desert
Where an ocean once danced by
There's a song in the silence
Weaving in and out of time
We are notes in the music
Searching for remembered rhyme
On a mountain high somewhere
Where only heroes dare
Stand the stallion and the mare
We have been and we shall be each other's destiny
One another's odyssey
Once upon not yet, long ago someday
Countless times we've met, met along the way
We've met along the way....
We've met along the way
I'm mean and I'm dirty, like none you've ever seen
Bad habits drip like honey, no tongue can lick me clean
I'm not of royal blood, I've never been discreet
Better lock up your daughters, we're comin' to your town
We're here for the slaughter, kick you when you're down
Kick you when you're down
We're not for the innocent, we're not for the innocent
We're not for the innocent, let the beast run wild
I've been damned, I've been cursed, I've been guilty and abused
I spit the hangman in his face and hung him with his noose
Habitual threat, I got you in my claws
Gonna tan your hide, rip the flesh off your bones
Look me in the eye, and you're gonna turn to stone
You're gonna turn to stone
We're not for the innocent, we're not for the innocent
We're not for the innocent, let the beast run wild
Better lock up your daughters, we're comin' to your town
Better pray we're not around
Let the beast run wild
We're not for the innocent, we're not for the innocent
We're not for the innocent, let the beast run wild
We're not for the innocent, we're not for the innocent
We're not for the innocent, let the beast run wild
We're not for the innocent, we're not for the innocent
We're not for the innocent, let the beast run wild
Many years since I was here, on the street I was passin' my time away
To the left and to the right, buildings towering to the sky
It's outta sight in the dead of night
Here I am, and in this city, with a fistful of dollars
And baby, you'd better believe
Chorus:
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
Back in the New York Groove, in the New York Groove
In the back of my Cadillac
A wicked lady, sittin' by my side, sayin' 'Where are we?'
Stop at Third and Forty-three, exit to the night
It's gonna be ecstacy, this place was meant for me
Feels so good tonight, who cares about tomorrow
So baby, you'd better believe
chorus
I'm back, back in the New York Groove (repeats out)
All the victims have turned to stone, no one is happy, they're all alone
I'd sacrifice my social position tonight
In New York, millionaires, and lonely people with lonely stares
I'm not lookin' for love and I'm lost in this night
In the naked city (in the city) there are ten million stories (naked city)
I'm not lookin' for pity (in the city) in this naked city (naked city)
Street vampires in the night, young lovers and love at first sight
This is my flesh and my fantasy
Older women with younger men, I've got a feelin' I'm in trouble again
But I've got to live my destiny
In the naked city (in the city) it's a race with the devil (naked city)
All the pain and the sorrow (in the city) is there more tomorrow (naked city)
In the naked, naked city (in the city) naked city
Lonely people lookin' for someone, lonely people goin' their way
Lonely people lookin' for something, lonely people goin' their way
In New York, millionaires, lonely people with lonely stares
I'm not lookin' for love and I'm lost in this night
In the naked city, there are ten million stories
I'm not lookin' for pity in this naked city
In the naked, naked city (in the city), it's a race with the devil (naked city)
All the pain and the sorrow (in the city) is there more tomorrow (naked city)
(In the city, naked city) (repeats out)
Mmm, yeah
When I was just a baby, mama sat me on her knee
She told me "Boy you listen there's a lot you oughta see

Move on, that's what she told me
Move on, mmm yeah
Move on, whoo oh, oh

Told you that forever was a word I couldn't say

You listen, you can hear, her voice is callin' from above
Move on, that's what she told me

It doesn't matter anyway
Man of a 1000 faces, man of a 1000 faces, man of a 1000 faces, who's the man
For years I've lived inside my dreams
Somehow I've made them real, it seems

And you just can't help yourself now, baby
'Cause this time it's real
Love's a deadly weapon
And murder's on my mind
Time you learned a lesson
Gonna love you this time, yeah
Like sugar to a baby, yeah
Got something you could use
Make you an offer, baby
You can't refuse
There you stand all dressed in red
I got this feelin' in me
Can't get you out of my head
One day you say you hate me
But I found you in my bed, yeah
Love's a deadly weapon
And murder's on my mind
I'm burnin' up with fever
I'm gonna love you this time
Yeah, yeah
I'm gonna love you this time
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Love's a deadly weapon
And murder's on my mind
I'm burnin' up with fever
I wanna love you, I wanna love you
[Instrumental]
....
I see you walkin' down the street
You're turnin' into paradise
The boys are crawlin' at your feet
Burn them and turn them to ice
No one gets a piece of your heart
It's over 'cause you won't let it start
You keep your love in chains, love in chains
And only fear remains and keeps your love in chains
But isn't it time (enough), isn't it time (enough)
Oh yeah
They know you feel just like a queen
Baby, are you havin' life
But all the things they'd never seen
Stab at your heart like a knife
No one knows the way that you love
It's over when it's never begun
You keep your love in chains, love in chains
And only fear remains and keeps your love in chains
But isn't it time (enough), oh, isn't it time (enough)
Oh yeah
But isn't it time (enough), oh isn't it time (enough)
You keep your love in chains, love in chains
And only fear remains and keeps your love in chains
But isn't it time (enough), oh isn't it time (enough)
Love in chains, love in chains
Love in chains, love in chains
Love in chains, love in chains
Love in chains, love in chains
Love in chains
I remember the times I was lonely without her
Now she's mine and I spend my times dreamin' about her
Love her all I can and try to understand
The things that make her glad
The things that make her sad
I'm a lucky guy, I hardly ever cry
And when the world looks bad
She's never ever sad
She's so easy to please and it doesn't take money, no, no
We can have a good time when the skies aren't sunny
Ah, I love her all I can and try to understand
The things that make her glad
The things that make her sad
I'm a lucky guy, I hardly ever cry
And when the world looks bad
She's never ever sad
Whoo
I remember the times I was lonely without her
Now she's mine and I spend my time dreamin' about her
I love her all I can and try to understand
The things that make her glad
The things that make her sad
I'm a lucky guy, I hardly ever cry
And when the world looks bad
She's never ever sad
I really love you, Baby
I love what you've got
Let's get together
We can, get hot
No more tomorrow, Baby
Time is today
Girl, I can make you feel
Okay
No place for hidin', Baby
No place to run
You pull the trigger of my
Love gun
Love gun
Love gun
Love gun
You can't forget me, Baby
Don't try to lie
You'll never leave me, Mama
So don't try
I'll be a gambler, Baby
Lay down the bet
We get together, Mama
You'll sweat
No place for hidin', Baby
No place to run
You pull the trigger of my
Love gun
Love gun
(Love gun)

My eggs in one basket, but she threw me a bone
She was dealt a full deck, but she likes to live alone
Ain't just talkin' to myself, need a reason to stop (oh yeah)
With a flower in her teeth, she drained the last drop
I said girls love money like bees the honey
But lonely is the hunter, you're my one and only, and lonely is the hunter
Asked her for a refill, sweat flew off my face (oh yeah)
She's a legendary figure, kept me in a cage
She's a torture chamber, when I seduced her in my bed (ooh yeah)
She gave a cold reading, success went to her head
In the heat of the battle the heart cannot rule, I'm such a fool
But lonely is the hunter, you're my one and only, and lonely is the hunter
Lonely is the hunter, you're my one and only, and lonely is the hunter
Lonely is the hunter, you're my one and only, and lonely is the hunter
Lonely is the hunter, you're my one and only, and lonely is the hunter
JUNGLE
Here I go
Down below
The sun is goin' down
A Jungle comes alive
The beast is waking up
To take another life
I can't sleep
In too deep
The man with nothing left
Without a place to hide
Will take a final breath
And tumble in the night
Yeah
Someone's safe at home
Someone dies alone
Someone's fallen prey
Yeah
Some will take their fill
Like lions to the kill
Livin' day to day
Whoa,
The Jungle
Mothers mourn
Fathers groan
The child takes a hit
And then he starts to cry
A mother never hears
Her baby's last goodbye
Yeah
Someone's safe at home
Someone dies alone
Someone's fallen prey
Yeah
Some will take their fill
Like lions to the kill
Livin' day to day
Whoa,
The Jungle
The sun is coming up
A city comes alive
The lamb will never see
A Jungle in the sky
Yeah
Someone's safe at home
Someone dies alone
Someone's falling prey
Yeah
Some will take their fill
Like lions to the kill
Livin' day to day
Yeah
Someone dies alone
Someone's safe at home
All is flesh and bone
Whoa,
The Jungle
If you want to make believe
There's nothing up my sleeve
I'm a man as man can be
As you can plainly see
Don't want to see no tears
Eliminate your fears
When you think you've seen it all, baby
You can't believe your eyes, what you heard weren't lies
My love is too much to hold, too much to hold
Much to much
I'm someone you can't fight
I'm plain in size
You can't believe your eyes
What you heard were not lies
I'm too much to hold
I can't be bought or sold
I'm far more than a man
I'm gonna make you understand
I'm larger than a life size man
And you can't believe your eyes, what you heard weren't lies
My love is too much to hold, too much to hold
My love is larger than life, ooh larger than life
My love is larger than life, larger than life
My love is too much to hold, it can't be sold, oh no
You can't believe your eyes, what you heard weren't lies
My love is too much to hold, too much to hold
My love is larger than life, larger than life
My love is larger than life, larger than life
My love is too much to hold, it can't be sold, oh no
I'm larger than a life size man
My love is larger than life, larger than life
My love is larger than life, ooh larger than life
My love is too much to hold, it can't be sold, oh no

Wipe the tears away

So baby, please wait for me
Don't want no one to take my place

I know what you're like, you're not sleepin' at night
I know you're losing control, I know your plans
Where you're keeping your hands, I know it's taking its toll
Sweet little innocent girl, making your way in this world
Something you're feeling tonight
tells you what's wrong and what's right
Chorus:
You gotta keep me comin' (keep me comin'),
keep me comin' (keep me comin')
You gotta keep me comin' (keep me comin'),
keep me comin' babe (keep me comin')
Hands on my shoulders now, you're getting bolder,
your fears are slipping away
Each little bite lets me know that you're ripe,
you're thinking maybe you'll st
Now that you're burning to know,
how far you're willing to go
Now that it's under your skin, now that you're lettin' me in
chorus repeats 2x
Ooh yeah, comin', comin'
Ooh yeah, right here, right now
chorus repeats out...
Who steers the ship through the stormy sea
If hope is lost then so are we
While some eyes search for one to guide us
Some are staring at me
But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be
For I am just a boy,
Too young to be sailing
I am just a boy,
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened of failing
Cat's droolin' on the bar stool, shake your hips and crack your whips
Cheap seventeen and trashed out, you went too far, been a bitch you are
Your reputation's in the bathroom, it's on the wall and down the hall
I hear you're cheatin' with my teacher after school, tell me what you do
When you know, you always get the boys you like
Play nice, then stick them with your knife, take off your insecure disguise
Is that you, crawlin' up my stairs, is that you
(Is that you, crawlin' up my stairs) Is that you, lookin' half way dead
Write on the mirror with your lipstick, much too vain, got scattered brains
You used me just enough to get off, act your age, get off your stage
When you know, you always get the boys you like
Play nice, then stick them with your knife, take off your insecure disguise
Chorus:
Is that you, crawlin' up my stairs, is that you
(Is that you, crawlin' up my stairs)
Is that you, lookin' half way dead, is that you
(Is that you, lookin' half way dead) Is that you, with your long black hair
You always get the boys you like, play nice, then stick them with your knife
You always get the boys you like, play nice, then stick them with your knife
Take off your insecure disguise
chorus repeats out
I'll never cut my hair
I'll never shed my skin
I won't give in
'cause that's the original sin
Now I Know I don't belong
Can't do right if I can't be wrong
You won't catch me
Singing the same old song
No you won't
Ask me no questions
And I'll tell you no lies
I never say never
Yeah, I never say die
Don't push me to the limit
Wouldn't wanna be in your place
Better look out
'Cause the ACE is in your face
In your face
I know I always go too far
In your face
Oh yeah, but I've been
Saved by my guitar
In your face
They say I come from
Another place
In your face
Oh yeah, I'm the man
From outer space
Now ask me no questions
And I'll tell you no lies
I never say never
I never say die
You might be hallucinating
I can't tell if you are on glue
What I can't have
Is what I want
I think you know it's true
In your face
I know I always go too far
In your face
Oh yeah, but I've been
Saved by my guitar
In your face
Everyone knows I come from
Outer space
In your face
Just don't forget
I'll always be there
In your face
That's right
I'm the man
That's right, curly
That's right
I'm the ace
I'm obnoxious and no one's home
In my head
In my head
Cardboard boxes filled with hate
In my head
They're in my head
Nest of termites, glowin' red
In my head
They're in my head
(chorus)
Look behind the mask
Try to find peace of mind
And you'll find
Just look behind the man
And lead me by the hand
Faded smiles behind dark shades
In my head
In my head
Plastic icons, glowin' red
In my head
They're in my head
I experiment with myself
In my head
In my head
Look behind the glass
Try to find peace of mind
And you'll find
Just look behind the man
And lead me
Aaaaahhhaaaaaahaaaa
Aaaaahhhaaaaaahaaaa
Look behind the glass
Try to find peace of mind
And you'll find
Just look behind the man
And lead me
Look behind the man
Look behind the glass
Look behind the mask
How many times have they lied with the truth in their eyes
Treat you like dirt, wasting the days of our lives
They try and deny it, ain't gonna buy it, just look around
Before it's all over, it's gonna get rough
I've had enough -
(Out of the cold into the fire) Nothing and no one is stopping me now
(Out of the cold into the fire) Just hang tough and we'll make it somehow
How many times have you given up more than you got
Countin' on things turnin' out, but you know they will not
Ain't gonna take it, kick it and break it, just look around
Before it's all over it's gonna get rough
(Out of the cold into the fire) Nothing and no one is stopping me now
(Out of the cold into the fire) Just hang tough and we'll make it somehow
(Out of the cold into the fire) Nothing and no one is stopping me now
(Out of the cold into the fire) Just hang tough and we'll make it somehow
Wishin' and hopin' won't get you nothin'
Prayin' and schemin', no time for dreamin'
I've got the power, this is the hour now
Wishin' and hopin' won't get you nothin'
Prayin' and schemin', no time for dreamin'
I've got the power, this is the hour now
(Out of the cold into the fire) Nothing and no one is stopping me now
(Out of the cold into the fire) Just hang tough and we'll make it somehow
(Out of the cold into the fire) Nothing and no one is stopping me now
(Out of the cold into the fire) Just hang tough and we'll make it somehow
I need some love, so give me some
You know I want some love, so turn me on
Sometimes I feel so low, sometimes I feel I'm on top, you know
Now girl I hate to start, 'cos then you gonna stop
I'm in need of love, I'm in need of love, I'm in need of love
And I'm hopin' you're in need of me
Now I want some love, so give me some
You know I need some love, so turn me on
It's just that devil in me that keeps on comin' thru - all the time
When things start lookin' good, some things start lookin' blue
I'm in need of love, I'm in need of love, I'm in need of love
And I'm hopin' you're in need of me
Now I want some love, so give me some
You know I need some love, so turn me on
Things keep on turning 'round, when things should be sittin' straight
- now turn around
Girl it's not my fault, I guess it's just my fate - you know me
'Cos all I want is love, so turn me on - you've got to
And all I need is love, so give me some - just a little
'Cos all I want is love, so turn me on - one more time
All I need is love, so give me some - ooh yeah do it like that
'Cos all I want is love, so turn me on - and on and on
All I need is love...
Don't let me find you
Sleepin' with another man
Say you're gonna be true
And stay and love me like you can
'Cause I really love you and it's true
I'm gonna love you rain or come shine
Honey, won't you tell me
You don't want nobody else
Don't you tear my heart out
And lay it on your shelf
'Cause I really love you and it's true
I'm gonna love you rain or come shine
And I'm gonna love you (gonna love you)
Rain or come shine (rain or come shine)
You know you're gonna find me (gonna find me)
Around you all the time (time)
'Cause I really love you and it's true
I'm gonna love you rain or come shine
Rain or come shine, rain or come shine
Rain or come shine, rain or come shine
Rain or come shine, rain or come shine
Each and every day
People turn away
Change the things they feel
Change the things they say
We can never know
Where our lives will lead
Wherever you go
Whenever you need
I will be there
Wanna be there
I will hear you when you call
Give you anything at all
I will be there
Anywhere
Like a father to his son
You are just a child
All is yet to be
Growing all the while
Knowing when you leave
I will be there
Wanna be there
Only blood will run so deep
Seal the promise I will keep
I will be there
Anywhere
Like a father to his son
I can swear to only one
Time moves quickly as the years go by
All these moments slip away
When I'm gone and life will carry on
You will know someway
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
Wanna be there
Only blood will run so deep
Seal the promise I will keep
I will be there
Like a father to his son
I must swear to only one
You were my woman and I was your man
You were good lookin'
You know I was your biggest fan
You tried to teach me things I already knew
When you couldn't reach me
Girl, I think you knew that we were through
Baby, it's over
Save your love, save it, save it
Save your love, save it, save it
Save your love, I don't want it (save your love)
Save it for someone else (save it, save it)
Save your love, I don't need it (save your love)
Put it back on the shelf
For somebody else
You said you love me, you may have been right
But hangin' above me, girl,
You know that we would fight
You tried to change me and mess up my mind
Now, don't rearrange me
And girl, you know that's why you're left behind
It's over now
Save your love, save it, save it
Save your love, save it, save it
Save your love, I don't want it (save your love)
Save it for someone else (save it, save it)
Save your love, I don't need it (save your love)
Put it back on the shelf
For somebody else
Girl, you know it's over
We had some good times
But now they're gone, so long
Save your love, save it, save it
Save your love, save it, save it
Save your love, I don't want it (save your love)
Save it for someone else (save it, save it)
Save your love, I don't need it (save your love)
Put it back on the shelf
For somebody else
Save your love, I don't want it (save your love)
Save it for someone else (save it, save it)
Save your love, I don't need it (save your love)
Girl, I don't want it, save your love
Save your love, I don't want it (save your love)
Save it for someone else (save it, save it)
Save your love, I don't need it (save your love)
Girl, I don't want it, save your love
Save your love, I don't want it (save your love)
Save it for someone else (save it, save it)
Save your love, I don't need it (save your love)
Girl, I don't want it, save your love
So many people tried to help me on my way
So little time and there's so much left to say
There's no explainin' all the things I've been through
But I finally found my way to you
I finally found my way to you
Now the day is ending and the night begins to fallSometimes I wondered if I'd make it back at all
I gave up everything I had and ever knew
But I finally found my way
I finally found my way
I finally found my way to you
Remember how we used to hide away
We'd share the secrets of our souls
Turned down the lights and dance the night away
We'd dance the night away
We'd dance the night away
Remember how we used to hide away
We'd dance the night away
We'd dance the night away
And now I'll hold you like I never have before
I'll let you go just long enough to lock that door
The words I whisper come so late and over due
But I finally found my way
I finally found my way
So many people tried to help me on my way
So little time and there's still so much left to say
There's no explaining all the things that I've been through
But I've finally fount my way to you
I finally found my way to you
Now the day is endhing and the night begins to fall
Sometimes I wonder if I'll make it back at all
I gave up everything I had and ever knew
But I finally found my way
Finally found my way
I finally found my way to you
Remember how we used to hide away
We'd share the secrets of our souls
Turn down the lights and dance the night away
We'd dance the night away
We'd dance the night away
Remember how we used to hide away
We'd dance the night away (x 4)
And now I'll hold you like I never have before
I'll let you go just long enough to lock that door
The words I whisper come so late and overdue
But I finally found my way, I finally found my way
I finally found my way to you
To you baby.
I was so frightened
I almost ran away.
I didn't know that I could do anything I needed to.
And then a bolt of lightning hit me on my head
Then I began to see I just needed to believe in me.
Now I
I believe in me
And I
I believe in something more
Than you can understand
I believe in me.
Listen I
I believe in me
. . .
They said I didn't stand a chance
I wouldn't win no way
But I've got news for you
there's nothing I can't do.
Ain't no pretending
ain't no make believe -
Well
I've got to be the one
I gotta do what must be done.
'Cause I
I believe in me
. . .
Well
you know that I
I believe in me
. . .
I don't need no money
I don't need nofame . . .No.
I just need to believe in me and I know most definitely.
Don't need to get wasted
it only holds me down
I just need a will of my own and the balls to stand alone.
'Cause I
I believe in me
. . .
And I
I believe in me
. . .
I believe in me
I believe in me
The boy could play before he learned to grow
Worked in a band who had no name at all
Every mornin' at the break of dawn
You could see him draggin' home his drums
I was vaccinated with a little needle
And I'm hooked on rock and roll
They called the family doctor to see what he could do
Doc said "No you can't cure his soul
Once he's infected with the blues"
So I travelled 'round from town to town singin' out the news
I was vaccinated with a little needle
And I'm hooked on rock and roll
When you find you got no mind
To work from nine to five
Find the back beat, set your heart free
And feel that music runnin' through your feet
Mama told me long ago
"Ain't no future in that rock 'n' roll"
And I said "Hey mama, it's burnin' hot inside my soul"
It's like a fever that won't cool down
I've been addicted since I heard that sound
I was vaccinated with a little needle
And I'm hooked on rock and roll
When you find you got no mind (bop shoo bop, bop bop shoo bop)
To work from nine to five
Find the back beat, set your heart free
(Bop shoo bop, bop bop shoo bop)
And feel the music runnin' through your feet
Mama told me long ago
"Ain't no future in that rock 'n' roll"
And I said "Hey mama, it's burnin' hot inside me soul"
It's like a fever that won't cool down
I've been addicted since I heard that sound
I was vaccinated with a little needle
And I'm hooked on rock and roll, yeah
Hooked on rock and roll
(I've been addicted since I heard that sound)
Hooked on rock and roll
Hooked on rock and roll
(It's like a fever that won't cool down)
Hooked on rock and roll, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hooked on rock and roll
(It's burnin, burnin, burnin in my soul)
Hooked on rock and roll
Hooked on rock and roll
(I've been addicted since I heard that sound)
Hooked on rock and roll
Hooked on rock and roll
Hooked on rock and roll
Hooked on
Though I know that you are sleepin'
Girl, there's somethin' I must say
Though the road may wind
My love will find the way
Many the miles have come between us
And the days, they come and go
Still with all we feel
It never really shows
Hold me, touch me, and think of me when we're apart
Hold me, baby won't you touch me
And think of me here in the night
And you know it'll be alright
Though the time apart seems endless
All my thoughts remain with you
I believe one day
We'll make our dreams come true
Our goodbyes go on forever
And with all that we may say
Till tomorrow comes
We'll dream of yesterday
Hold me, baby won't you touch me
And think of me when we're apart
Hold me, baby won't you touch me
And think of me here in the night
And you know it'll be alright
Mmm, aha, yeah
Here I am, all alone, been two days since you've been gone
Three a.m., wide awake, yeah I'm lonely, and I can't take it
You win a few, you lose a few, but I can't help missing you
Can't sleep at night, ain't feelin' right, but I'm gonna get to you
Come hell or high water - I'm gonna love you
Come hell or high water - gonna hold you
Come hell or high water - wrap my arms around you
Come hell or high water
Now you're gone, hurt so bad, feelings I have never had
Been so long since you've been mine, now I'm wound in the lost and found
And there you stand, now I know, I'm never gonna let you go
Ain't foolin' around, no, no, gonna make every minute count
Come hell or high water - I'm gonna love you
Come hell or high water - gonna hold you
Come hell or high water - wrap my arms around you
Come hell or high water - yeah I'm gonna get to you
Gonna love you, hold you, wrap my arms around you
Baby don't doubt it, ain't no doubt about it
I'm gonna love you - come hell or high water
Gonna hold you - come hell or high water
Wrap my arms around you - come hell or high water - yeah
Come hell or high water - come hell or high water
Come hell or high water - come hell or high water
Come hell or high water - come hell or high water
Come hell or high water - come hell or high water
Yeah!
Baby, you know I heard the neighbors say
Baby, you might be leavin' me today
Oh yeah, ooh
Someone's come along, shared your time
Don't care, no I don't, no
But you can't be his and still be mine
Ooh, got to choose, who's your baby
Ooh, got to choose
Sometimes, oh sometimes

'Cause now I'm leavin' and I wish I could stay
People wonder why they don't get a chance
They wait for music but they don't get to dance
Mmm, well now I know when my work is through
I'm gonna be with you
So goodbye
Is only for now
'Cause I'm comin' back
I swear it somehow
Ain't it funny how we win but we lose

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure
You don't feel right, you can't find a cure
And you're gettin' less than what you're lookin' for
You don't have money or a fancy car
And you're tired of wishin' on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar
Chorus:
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
"Now listen"
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far
Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five
You can take a stand, or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don't start livin' till you realize - "I gotta tell ya!"
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul
(Instrumental break)
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll
chorus repeats out...
"I know life sometimes can get tough! And I know life sometimes can be a drag!
But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road
And that road's name is... Rock and Roll!"
It's so hard to feel right baby
When I'm travelin' around and you're far behind
Guy, I wish I could see my lady, girl, I hope you don't mind, 'cos
I'm snowblind, I can't see a thing, I'm snowblind, I don't wanna sing
I'm snowblind, need a familiar face, I'm snowblind, think I'm lost in space
Lookin' out my window, sometimes I wonder
Am I ever gonna get to where I'm gonna go home
Maybe tomorrow, maybe next summer, girl, I just don't know, 'cos
I'm snowblind, I can't see a thing, I'm snowblind, I don't wanna sing
I'm snowblind, need a familiar face, I'm snowblind, think I'm lost in space
Movin' around, I get in trouble, when I'm feelin' so low and out of my mind
Babe, I don't wanna burst your bubble, girl, you know the reason why, 'cos
I'm snowblind, I can't see a thing, I'm snowblind, I don't wanna sing
I'm snowblind, need a familiar face, I'm snowblind, think I'm lost in space

How flaming youth will set the world on fire
Flaming youth, our flag is flying higher and higher and higher
My uniform is leather and my power is my age
I'm gettin' it together to break out of my cage
'Cause flamin' youth will set the world on fire
Flaming youth will set the world on fire
Flaming youth, our flag is flying higher and higher and higher
Flamin' youth will set the world on fire

I gotta tell you what I'm feelin' inside, I could lie to myself, but it's true
There's no denying when I look in your eyes, girl I'm out of my head over you
I lived so long believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time
Chorus:
It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is thru, girl I'll be lovin' you forever
I hear the echo of a promise I made
When you're strong you can stand on your own
But those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don't wanna go it alone
I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line
But everything about you is tellin' me this time
chorus - yeah!
I see my future when I look in your eyes
It took your love to make my heart come alive
Cos I lived my life believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time
She'll adore you and she'll floor you
With her wisdom and her vision
And you'll love it and think of it
'Til you lose all intuition, come on
She can move you and improve you
With her love and her devotion
And she'll thrill you and she'll chill you
But you're headed for commotion
And you'll need her so you'll feed her
With your endless dedication
And the quicker you get sicker
She'll remove your medication
Get the firehouse
'Cause she sets my soul afire
Get the firehouse
And the flames keep gettin' higher
She's like bad weather
But it seems so good
You'd never leave her
But you know you should
She's like bad weather
But it seems so good
You'd never leave her
But you know you should
Firehouse
'Cause she sets my soul afire
Get the firehouse, get the firehouse

Close your eyes and take a look at your life
Do you like what you see
My eyes are open but I feel like I'm blind, it's all returning to me
I wanna know, does a frozen river flow
Things you said fill my head lying in a cold and empty bed
I'm only dreaming
Between the darkness and the light
I'm only dreaming, oooh
Dreaming, can't tell the daylight from the night
I'm only dreaming, dreaming
I feel the sunlight shining down on my face
Not a cloud in my mind
I get my wake up but it never comes in time
My prayers are spoken and I wait to receive
'Cause there's a fine line between the truth and how we want it to be
I'm only dreaming
Between the darkness and the light
I'm only dreaming, oooh
Dreaming, can't tell the daylight from the night
I'm only dreaming, dreaming
I'm sailing like a ship on the sea
I don't care if I'm lost in the haze
I hear the angels singing something to me
Cause the enemy that you never see
Won't you come slip away
[solo] I am only dreaming
I'm only dreaming (x 6)
Dreaming
Dreaming.

You like the way the wheels roll
You like my seven inch leather heels
And goin' to all of the shows, but

Searching in the darkness, running from the day
Hiding from tomorrow, nothing left to say
Victims of the moment, future deep in doubt
Living in a whisper till we start to shout
We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the
night
Breathing in the madness, spitting out the lies
Searching for an answer, keep your alibis
Don't know where we're goin', just know where we've been
Remember when the clock strikes twelve, the losers always
We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the
night
Searching in the darkness, running from the day
Hiding from tomorrow, nothing left to say
Gathering up our courage, ready for the fight
Howling in the shadows, till we start to bite
We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the
night
We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the
Baby, I know it's a jungle out there
Well if you can play it cool, I can play it debonair
You were warm, but there was an inner ice
And baby, it was like a rollin' dice
Well I told you once, I told you twice
Hey listen babe, there's trouble in paradise
Well I found a lipstick stain of your kiss
Well you can sink your teeth into this, bitch, so
I'm gonna dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance all over your face
I'm gonna dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance all over your face
Hey baby, can you pass this quiz
Well, just put your money where your mouth is
You're as sharp as a slap from a lover's hand
Hey baby, baby, baby, this is all I can stand
You played your hand, and now you lose, well listen bitch, I've got news
Yes, I saw you with another man and you put me in disgrace, so
I'm gonna dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance all over your face
I'm gonna dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance all
Dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance all over your face
No cheap perfume can change my mind, no satin and lace
Yes, I'm gonna dance all over your face
No thigh high boots, forbidden fruits, no satin and lace
Yes, I'm gonna dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance
(Whoow! Here's a little song for everybody out there)
People try to take my soul away, but I don't hear the rap that they all say
They try to tell us we don't belong, that's alright, we're millions strong
This is my music, it makes me proud, these are my people and this is my crowd
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
Sometimes days are so hard to survive, a million ways to bury you alive
The sun goes down like a bad bad dream
You're wound up tight, gotta let off steam
They say they can break you again and again, if life is a radio, turn up to ten
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
And they try to tell us that we don't belong
But that's alright, we're millions strong
You are my people, you are my crowd, this is our music, we love it loud
Yeah, and nobody's gonna change me, 'cos that's who I am
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights

You pay your taxes, you pay the rent
Till you haven't got a cent
It's the law of the jungle, if you got the hunger
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Here's one thing you should know, I won't, I won't stand in line for your love
Burning up with fever, and you're the fever inside
I'm burning up with fever, it's something I can't hide
Sometimes you do me, sometimes you don't

Got you under their thumb
Hit it
Out on the streets for a living
Picture's only begun
Your day is sorrow and madness

Picture's only begun
Your day is sorrow and madness
Got you under their thumb

Anything for my baby
I would steal anything for my baby
I'd wheel and deal anything for my baby
I'm in love and it feels so good
'Cause I need her, don't mistreat her
And I tell her so
When I saw her and she looked my way
I was lonely, she's my only
And I've gotta say that
I would steal anything for my baby
I'd wheel and deal anything for my baby
Crawl or kneel, anything for my baby
In the morning when I raise my head
She's beside me, she can hide me
When I'm feelin' low
If I'm thinkin' everything's all wrong
My girl shakes me, she awakes me
Then I really know that
I would steal anything for my baby
I'd wheel and deal anything for my baby
Crawl or kneel, anything for my baby
Don't you know that
I would steal anything for my baby
I would wheel and deal anything for my baby
I would crawl or kneel, anything for my baby
I'd do anything
I would give anything for my baby
I would die or live, anything for my baby
I would t-t-t-t-take or give anything for my baby
Yes, I would take anything for my baby
I would build or break anything for my baby
I would rob or take anything for my baby
I would do anything for my baby
I would steal anything for my baby
I would wheel and deal
The sky is fallin' and the wheels of life
are grindin' out a brand new beat
The streets are burnin' with the call of the wild,
and I can feel the heat
They'll call you names and spit in your face,
but legends never die
Just pick up your guitar, on your knees
and pray and hold your head up high
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
On the 8th day God created rock and roll
Out of the ashes came the dawn
and the shape of things to come
Never surrender, just carry on,
straight to kingdom come
You sold your soul and virginity,
ya can't rape a heart of gold
Yes you're born to rule, it's destiny,
now it can be told
Chorus:
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and
roll)

Feel the noise in the name of rock, let the heavens

And if you turn out the light (turn out the light)
Don't think you'll hide behind the night (behind the night)
And if you touch me, I might
Might turn and see you, don't run and hide
I'm always near you, I'm always near you, near you
I've just begun since you've gone (since you've been gone)
To understand I'm the only one (the only one)
And if you cross yourself at night

And I'm walkin' down the street, mindin' my own

Now he looks me up and he looks me down and says

and "Why you gotta look like that?"
Well I just looked at him, I kinda laughed, I said

in the streets you can hear them say
Mama told me, 'Your lady's lookin' for another man'
I never worry, there ain't a need for me to take no stand
I got my reasons, the things I do are better left unsaid
I'm into pleasin', I do my talkin' with my hands instead
'Cause I can make some time
You got your ticket and you're lookin' fine
You're starin' at the band, you want to land
A six foot, hot look, all american man, yeah
I've been to Detroit, I've been to L.A. and I've seen St. Lou
I've had some good times, but I've been waitin' for a girl like you
'Cause I can make some time
You got your ticket and you're lookin' fine
You're starin' at the band, you want to land
A six foot, hot look, all american man, yeah
All American man

You got your ticket and you're lookin' fine
You're starin' at the band, you want to land
A six foot, hot look, all american man, a man
I'm a six foot, hot look, all american man, yeah
You were standin' and I was thinkin'
Of all the time that I spend hangin' around
Situation could only get better
I got closer to see, what I've found
In the mornin', movin' easy
Everything seems so right
But when the night comes, I've been dreamin'
Dreamin' 'bout leavin' you one more time
Girl, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right
Mmm, no woo, I won't tell you
That you're the only one for me
And I'd be a liar if I promised
I could give you every single thing you ever need
You gave me good love
But it ain't quite right
Yeah, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right, mmm
Lookin' back now seems so easy
You were the best thing ever happened to me
I can't complain
It was worth every minute we had
'Cause, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right
Yeah, you gave me good love
A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes
And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
Is like a time without a pace
A pointless thing devoid of grace
Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes
In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
And a world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing
Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes
There's nothing to be
I'm sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
You mind if I sit down for a while?
You'll reacquaint yourself with my style
Well, how could you have waited so long?
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
All this time you put up a fear
For a 100,000 years
I'm sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
All this time you put up a fear
For a 100,000 years
Baby, won't you let me?
I think I'm goin' out of my head
I'm just about to, ooh yeah
I'm sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
You mind if I sit down for a while, would you babe?
Look up, the sky is crying
Endless tears
Feels like my whole world's dying
It hurts when you're not here
'Cause you matter to me and that's why
You still matter to me
And that's the only reason I need, to get by
You still matter to me, yes you do
I ain't no good at talkin'
So girl I'm tellin' you straight
My heart feels just like an orphan
I hope I'm not too late
'Cause you matter to me and that's why (and that's why)
You still matter to me
And that's the only reason I need, to get by
You still matter to me, yes you do
If I could have just one wish
I'd stand you in my place
Then you'd know how much I miss you
You'll never be replaced
'Cause you matter to me and that's why (and that's why)
You still matter to me
And that's the only reason I need, to get by
You still matter to me, yes you do
You still matter to me
And that's the only reason I need, to get by
You still matter to me, yes you do
'Cause you matter to me, yes you do
And that's the only reason I need, to get by (get by)
'Cause you matter to me, ain't no lie
And that's the only reason I need, to get by (get by)
'Cause you matter to me, yes you do
And that's the only reason I need, ain't no lie
When I look into the mirror
Just can't believe, what do I see
There's no wakin' from this nightmare
And you're lost in your reality
So you tell me all your secrets
And you tell me that you're innocent
There's something in your eyes I can see
And my face keeps looking back at me
You Confess
You can't help yourself
This living lie that you can't go on
You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
You're the crime and you can't go on
Another day, another sorrow
No today and no tomorrow
Try and wash away the shame
And you smile in your picture frame
You had a charmed life, but you think from grace
And you're long gone without a trace
You're all alone and wonder why
And you laugh when you wanna cry
You Confess
You can't help yourself
This living lie that you can't go on
You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
You're the crime and you can't go on
You Confess
You can't help yourself
This living lie that you can't go on
You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
You're the crime and it can't go on
It can't go on
God never spoke to me about your sin
So livin' in our lies will test the faith
So cut your straight lines on the mirror
And dip your hands in holy water
Try and wash away the shame
Cuz all you've got is your father's name
(repeat choruses)
I've been lonely but I feel alright
You got another baby, hold him tight, you know
You been pushin' and you won't get me tonight
I've been your lover, but I'm not your fool
You wanna to teach me but I'm not in school, you know
You been pushin' and you won't get me tonight
You come a-crawlin', but you're much too late
You've got the key, but babe I locked the gate
I tried to call you when you were not home
Nobody likes to spend the nights alone
Wouldn't you like to know me
And wouldn't you like to show me you care
Wouldn't you like to take me
And wouldn't you like to make me, whoo yeah
You're good lookin' so you get your way
You been lucky, baby, not today, because
You been pushin' and you don't get me tonight
You come a-crawlin', but you're much too late
You've got the key, but babe I locked the gate
I tried to call you when you were not home
Nobody likes to spend the nights alone
Wouldn't you like to know me
And wouldn't you like to show me you care
Wouldn't you like to take me
And wouldn't you like to make me, whoo yeah
Lets' go
Wouldn't you like to know me
And wouldn't you like to show me you care
Wouldn't you like to take me
And wouldn't you like to make me, whoo yeah
Wouldn't you like to know me
And wouldn't you like to show me you care
Wouldn't you like to take me
And wouldn't you like to make me, whoo yeah
Wouldn't you like to know me
And wouldn't you like to
As I sit here and think,
about all that I'm missing
[all that I'm missing]
I've got everything that,
I could ever ask for. But you
all my past time is spent,
wondering how you've been
[wondering how you've been]
but the more that you're on my mind,
I'm just lonely and blue [can't you see]
Why can't you be with me to hold me tight.
Just being with you
will make everything better and bright
I wanna have you by my side,
you always make it right..
[And without you my heart starts to cry]
How will I ever go on,
how will I stay strong?
[Do you see without you, my soul dies?]
I stayed up all night,
remembering what we had
[remembering what we had]
And I can't sleep a wink,
cuz thinking of you makes me sad
[yes you do]
I can't seem to shake you off my mind...
Just wanna go back in time to just press rewind
I wanna have you by my side,
you always make it right.
[And without you my heart starts to cry]
how will I ever go on,
how will I stay strong?
[Do you see without you, my soul dies?]
You're all that I want, you're all that I need..
So why don't you come back. baby. Please
I want to have you by my side,
you always make it right.
[And without you my heart starts to cry]
how will I ever go on,
how will I stay strong?
[Do you see without you, my soul dies?]
I wanna have you by my side,
you always make it right.
[And without you my heart starts to cry]
How will I ever go on,
how will I stay strong?
[Do you see without you, my soul dies?]
Wiped Out!
I went to a party, just so smartly, cool as cool could be
I knew I could make it, knew I could shake it, lose some fancy free
So I went to the table and reached for a bottle
And poured me a glass of wine
Took a few sips and looked around, I was feelin' fine
But an hour along, comin' on strong, I was gettin' drunk
The next thing I knew I looked at you, I was blind as a skunk, I was
I was wiped out, I had my lights out
Was fallin' right out, 'cos I was wiped out
Through the smoke-filled room I caught your eye
And I think that you caught mine
And I knew in a minute or maybe less, it was just a matter of time
Then you started to move with such a groove, stronger than sneakin' slow
Then you looked at me with your big blue eyes, they had such a glow
Then I took your hand and tried to stand and ended up sittin' back down
Then you smiled at me and gave me a wink, how quick I lost my frown, I was
I was wiped out, I had my lights out
Was fallin' right out, 'cos I was wiped out
So I looked at you and then I knew that we were gonna have some fun
So I thought to myself, wine was out, we should switch to rum
So without a word, and like some bird, we flew to another place
And pretty soon we were in some room stretched miles out in space
The room was turnin', we were burnin', things became a haze
It seemed that already I had too many, firewater caused the blaze, I was
I was wiped out, I had my lights out
Was fallin' right out, 'cos I was wiped out
I was wiped out, I had my lights out
Was fallin' right out, 'cos I was wiped out
I was wiped out, I had my lights out
Was fallin' right out, 'cos I was wiped out
I was wiped out, I had my lights out
Was fallin' right out, 'cos I was wiped out
Once I was a fool dreamin' my life away, and then yesterday I found you
Lookin' for me, draggin' your heart around at the lost and found
I love you, you're the only one who could make me feel love was smart
I feel you deep inside of me, beatin' up against my heart
And I found out, I found out, what makes the world go 'round
Oh I found out, really found out, what makes the world go 'round
You came up to me, turnin' my head around, I was hangin' on
Until you looked up at me, thrashin' your bedroom eyes, I was paralyzed
I love you, you're the only one who could make me feel love was smart
I feel you deep inside of me, beatin' up against my heart
Chorus:
And I found out, oh I found out, what makes the world go 'round
I found out, really found out, what makes the world go 'round and 'round
And I found out, really found out, what makes the world go 'round
I found out, really found out, what makes the world go 'round
Whenever I touch you, you know that I want you
I love you forever, whenever you're ready
chorus repeats out...
Wanna be a popstar

Before you tell me to go, I've got to let you know
How you're makin' my temperature rise
I let you use me, you tried to abuse me
They tell me you're not very nice
I'm not your social security
I'm not your star opportunity, yeah
Oh baby, you can have me absolutely
Won't you give me?
True confessions
True confessions
True confessions
That's all I'm askin' for, yeah

I wanna take you down, until the morning light
Why don't you come around, and let me treat you right
I'm the one who gave you what you'd never had
You said I should be gentle and be good, but hoped to hell I would be bad
Chorus:
I wanna take you, baby gonna make you gimme tough love
C'mon and please me, take your time and tease me, gimme tough love
I tie you to the rings, I feel your fever rise
We love to do the things that others fantasize
And then you smile and bring me to my knees
But when I try a gentle lullabye, I swear I hear you sighing please
chorus - tough
I never knew how much I needed you till now
But now I know, and tonight I'm gonna show you how
(Instrumental break)
And then, I smile and bring you to your knees
And though I try a gentle lullabye, I swear I hear you sighing please
chorus - give it to me
Gimme tough love, tough!
I couldn't sleep at all last night
Just a-thinkin' 'bout you
Baby, things weren't right
'Cause I was
Tossin' and turnin', turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin', tossin' and turnin' all night
I kicked the blankets on the floor
Turned my pillow upside down
I never felt this way before
'Cause I was
Tossin' and turnin', turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin', tossin' and turnin' all night
Jumped out of bed, turned on the lights
Pulled down the shade, went to the kitchen for a bite
Rolled up the shade, turned down the lights
I jumped back in the bed, was the middle of the night
The clock downstairs was strikin' three
Couldn't get you off my mind
I heard the milkman on the street
'Cause I was
Tossin' and turnin', turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin', tossin' and turnin' all night
Jumped out of bed, turned on the lights
Pulled down the shade, went to the kitchen for a bite
Rolled up the shade, turned down the lights
Jumped back in the bed, was the middle of the night
The clock downstairs was strikin' three
Couldn't get you off my mind
I heard the milkman on the street
'Cause I was
Tossin' and turnin', turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin', tossin' and turnin' all night
Tossin' and turnin' (tossin' and turnin')
Tossin' and turnin' (tossin' and turnin')
Turnin' and tossin' (turnin' and tossin')
Tossin' and turnin' (tossin' and turnin')
Tossin' and turnin' (tossin' and turnin')
Turnin' and tossin' (tossin' and turnin')
Tossin' and turnin' (tossin' and turnin'), oh
Tossin' and turnin' (tossin' and turnin')
Turnin' and tossin' (tossin' and turnin')
(Tossin' and turnin')
Tossin' and turnin' (tossin' and turnin')
Turnin' and tossin' (tossin' and turnin')
(Tossin' and turnin')
Early morning, as she wakes from her sleep
9 to 5 is the day that she'll keep
Ties her hair up and her blouse buttoned tight
Gets her work done as she waits for the night...
All the people, tell me what would they say
If they knew her, how she hides it away
Locked inside, there's the start of a flame
And the feelings that she never will tame
Ooh as she's walking around like a mystery
Ooh there's a woman that nobody sees livin' inside
Thrills in the night, far from the light, passion taking over
Prices she pays, all through the days, no on really knows her
In the evening when she takes to the street
She goes hunting with a body in heat
And desires she's kept hidden inside make her tingle
And she knows why she lies
Ooh as she's walking around like a mystery
Ooh there's a woman that nobody sees living inside
Thrills in the night, far from the light, passion taking over
Prices she pays, all through the days, no on really knows her
Thrills in the night, far from the light, passion taking over
Prices she pays, all through the days, no on really knows her
See the stranger that she's pushing away
As she dresses for the start of a day
And desires she's kept hidden inside make her tingle
Yeah she knows why she lies
Thrills in the night, far from the light, passion taking over
Prices she pays, all through the days, no on really knows her
Thrills in the night, far from the light, passion taking over
Prices she pays, all through the days, no on really knows her
Thrills in the night, far from the light, passion taking over
Prices she pays, all through the days, no on really knows her
Thrills in the night, far from the light, passion taking over
Prices she pays, all through the days, no on really knows her
I lived most of my life in New York City
Born and raised in the promised land
One day this man in black said, "Listen Jack"
Told me I was chosen to kiss the ring on his hand
He said "Kindly reconsider the sins of your past"
And I said "Mister you can kindly kiss my ass"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I need - "Thou shalt not"
Well, the son of a bitch must be crazy
Tellin' me I'm gonna go down
I said, "this ain't the inquisition, you ain't the son of God
And I sure as hell don't give a damn"
He said, "You're long gone, can't you tell?"
And I said "Mister, if I'm goin', I'll see you in hell! Yeah!"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I need - "Thou shalt not" - yeah
"Thou shalt not" - gotta live my life - "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - any way I please - "Thou shalt not"
Don't even try, you know I'd die to be free, oh yeah
And you wonder why, you can't bring this guy to his knees
'Cause I know what I want, yes, I know what I need
Well, I know what I want, I know what I need
Gotta live my life just the way I please, ooh yeah
(Instrumental break)
'Cause I know what I want, yeaaahhhhh!
"Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - oh, yes I do - "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - I'm gonna live my life - "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - any way I choose - "Thou shalt not"
You got that right.
I'm getting off this carousel,
you can do as you please, you can go to hell
You put my back against the wall
Well I'm not gonna fall on my knees, no not at all
Chorus:
So you're a saint, I'm a sinner, but deuces are wild
Better wake up, it's break up, I ain't got the time
So (baby) you can kiss my heart bye bye
Next to you I feel I'm all alone,
love's turned to stone, ooh yeah
Cross my heart and hope to cry, well I'm not gonna die
Without you it's aces high
chorus
Bye bye babe
Kiss my heart bye bye, you missed my heart this time around
Kiss my heart bye bye, and I don't need no one at all, no!
There's no right and there's no wrong, I'm moving on
I'll go it alone, because love's turned to stone
chorus
So bye bye babe, bye bye babe
No I'm not gonna die, cross my heart and hope to cry
No no no no I'm not gonna die, so bye bye bye babe
Well I'm not gonna die without you babe
No I'm not gonna die
My eyes were burnin’
Lookin’ back on all of my memories
And my mind was dreamin like it does
She wore white and in the night we made love
Together, I remember, together as one
It came so easy
But now it seems so long ago
My chance is fading into night
I can’t change or rearrange what I’ve done
Together, I remember, together as one
Together, I remember, together as one
Yesterday, is far away, so take me out to sea
Far away, I’ve been what never will be
Check me in, to lose or win, I’m livin’ memories
The drift begins, the dream of it sets me free
We lived each moment as if the days would never end
It seemed our lives had just begun
I can’t stay, I’ll make my way on the run
Together, I remember, together as one
Together, I remember, together as one
Yesterday, is far away, so take me out to sea
Far away, I’ve been what never will be
Check me in, to lose or win, I’m livin’ memories
The drift begins, the dream of it sets me free
Yesterday, is far away, so take me out to sea
Far away, I’ve been what never will be
Check me in, lose or win, livin’ memories
The drift begins, the dream of it sets me free
Well my mind is gettin' dirty yeah around eleven thirty, uh huh
I wanna watch some asses shakin' to the noise the boys are makin', uh huh
Ooh, so I hop into my car, hit the local titty bar, uh huh
'Cause that's my kind of situation when I need some perspiration, uh huh
I do my one-step shoppin' for the girl of my dreams
'Cause I can always be sure that she's as good as she seems
Take it off, give it to me
Take it off, like you'd do me
I wanna see what's inside, 'cause you got nothin' to hide
Take it off, pretty baby
Take it off, drive me crazy
You know you make me so hot, I wanna see what you got
Take it off, yeah!
Wave your panties in the air, lick your lips and shake your hair, uh huh
Ooh, when you spread a little oil, yeah, my blood begins to boil, uh huh
Yeah, it's so hard to choose, when you all look so fine
But I got nothin' to lose but my money and my mind
Take it off, give it to me
Take it off, like you'd do me
I wanna see what's inside, 'cause you got nothin' to hide
Take it off, pretty baby
Take it off, drive me crazy
Ooh, take it off, drive me crazy
You know you make me so hot, I wanna see what you got
Take it off, yeah! Take it off!
(Instrumental break)
Ooh, move your sweet body closer (I want to be alone with you)
Yeah, come on and be my fantasy (there's so much you and I could do)
Oh, you're so near I can taste you (you're teasin' me, yeah you're pleasin' me)
(Ahh) I know you're dancin' just for me, just for me, just for me
Take it off, pretty baby
Take it off, drive me crazy
You know you make me so hot, I wanna see what you got
Take it off, pretty baby
Take it off, give it to me
Take it off, like you'd do me
Girl, you got nothin' to hide, now lemme see what's inside
Take it off! Take it, take it, take it off! Yeah!
(Instrumental)
I'm drivin' down the road, doin' 95 miles per hour, oh yeah
My radio's blastin' and I'm passin' cars faster and faster, aha
I'm feelin' kinda down 'cos I left her with a frown, my baby, oh yeah
We always seem to fight when things are goin' right and maybe, aha
Maybe I should turn around, maybe I should stop, maybe I should turn around
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
You know, maybe I should turn around, maybe I should stop
Maybe I should turn around
I'm lookin' for a station, 'cos there's no acceleration to get back, oh yeah
My gage is showin' red and my battery's dead, I'd better find one fast
The whole thing began 'cos I saw her with a man, my baby, oh yeah
I really wouldn't mind, but you know I've got my pride to think of, aha
Maybe I should turn around, maybe I should stop, maybe I should turn around
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
I found me a station, now I got acceleration to get back, oh yeah
She's my only girl and to me she's just the world, so maybe, aha
Maybe I should turn around, maybe I should stop, maybe I should turn around
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
I know it's around, I don't have any doubts about that night
I'll see you get it tonight, and if I can't I'll cry and cry
You won't see me without it and I'll see you tonite
But I know it's around, I don't have any doubts about that night
I'll see you get it tonight, and if I can't I'll cry and cry
You won't see me without it and I'll see you tonite, outside
See you tonite, outside, see you tonite
(repeats 3x)
The party's over, and baby's in the corner
She's all alone for the night
You pick up the phone, you want to go home
Well dry your eyes, it's alright, it's alright
See you, feel you in your dreams tonight
See you, feel you in your dreams tonight, dreams tonight
When you're in the room, you're home too soon
You can't get me out of your mind
And you get in bed, you cover your head
My letter to you is signed
And this is what I'm sayin'
See you, feel you in your dreams tonight
See you, feel you in your dreams tonight, dreams tonight
See you, see you, feel you in your dreams tonight, dreams tonight
See you, see you, feel you in your dreams tonight, dreams tonight
See you, see you, feel you in your dreams tonight, dreams tonight
See you, see you, feel you in your dreams tonight, dreams tonight
See you, see you, feel you in your dreams tonight
See you, see you, feel you in your dreams tonight, dreams tonight
See you, see you, feel you in your dreams tonight
See you, see you, feel you in your dreams tonight, dreams tonight
See you, see you, feel you in your dreams tonight
See you, see you, feel you in your dreams tonight, dreams tonight

I'm impatient, times a wastin', girl, if you give me an occasion
I'm gonna rise to it, you know I really can do it

When you're lying next to me, baby, I can guarantee, I'm gonna rise to it

And if you want a lover who can play the other role, I'm gonna, I'm gonna

I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise to it
When you're lying next to me, baby, I can guarantee, I'm gonna rise to it
I took a ride with a one way ticket
I aimed my arrow at the mark and hit it
We all need to be somebody
Been broken down, but not defeated
I kept on punching back 'til I succeeded
We all need to be somebody now
We stopped at nothing, even climbed barbed wire
We struck a match and set the world on fireAnd if we tried we couldn't get much higher now
chorus
Everyone around the nation
Raise your glasses, raise your glasses
Standing proud 'cos we're the champions
Raise your glasses, raise your glasses
We pushed it all beyond the limit
We took our chances
And we jumped right in it
We all need to be somebody
Now I believe in strength in numbers
Went into battle with the force of thunder
We all need to be somebody
I want to shout it out with all my power
I want to scream it from the highest tower
I want to celebrate our finest hour now
-chorus-
Oh you gotta give it your all
You gotta know what you're after
Go we'll make it over the wall together
I took a ride with a one way ticket
I shot my arrow at the mark and hit it
So while all the others only talked I did it
Kept pushin' everything beyond the limit
You play the game
You gotta play to win it
So raise your glasses, raise your glasses
-chorus-
Everyone around the nation
Raise your glasses, raise your glasses
Lift your voice in celebration
Hello!
Here I am
Here we are
We are one
I've been waiting for this night to come
Get up!
Now it's time for me to take my place
The make-up runnin' down my face
We're exiles from the human race
You're in the Psy...
You're in the Psycho Circus
You're in the Psy...
You're in the Psycho Circus
And I say "Welcome to the show"
I've been waitin' here to be your guide
So come
Reveal the secrets that you keep inside
Get up!
No one leaves until the night is done
The amplifiers start to hum
The carneval has just begun
You're in the Psy...
You're in the Psycho Circus
You're in the Psy...
You're in the Psycho Circus
And I say "Welcome to the show"
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show
The show
I...I've been waitin' here to be your guide
So come
Reveal the secrets that you keep inside
Get up!
No one leaves until the night is done
The amplifiers start to hum
The carneval has just begun
You're in the Psy...
You're in the Psycho Circus
You're in the Psy...
You're in the Psycho Circus
You're in the Psy...
You're in the Psycho Circus
And I say "Welcome to the show"
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show
And I say
She'll always be there trying to grab a hold
She thought she knew me, but she didn't know
That I was sad and wanted her to go
Parasite lady
Parasite eyes
Parasite lady
No need to cry
I didn't wanna have to get away
I told her things I didn't want to say
I need her and I hope she'll understand, yeah
Parasite lady
Parasite eyes
Parasite lady
No need to cry
Parasite lady
Parasite eyes
Parasite lady

Something that'll make you high then I think, I'll say goodbye
'Cos I'm the kind of guy who likes gettin' high
Gettin' high and dry and I do it all the time
Now I'm much too high, I am high and dry
Wherever you are, that's where I'm gonna be
No matter how far, you'll never be that far from me
Some how I would find you, move heaven & earth to be by your side
Oh I'd walk, this world to walk, beside you
No mountain could ever stand between us
No ocean could ever be that wide
No river too deep to keep your love from me
I swear it's the truth
Nothing Can Keep Me From You
There's no race I would not go to
No distance would ever be too far
To keep me away I'd always find a way
to show you it's true
Nothing Can Keep Me From You
Nothing Can Keep Me From You
I gave you my word; I would be there for you
And you can be sure there's no mountain that
I would not move
Just to lie beside you spend my whole life
lookin in your eyes

No mountain could ever stand between us
No ocean could ever be that wide
No river too deep to keep your love from me
I swear it's the truth
Nothing Can Keep Me from You
And I would go anywhere to be anywhere you are
And I would do anything just to hold you in my arms
Nothing can stop a love this strong
Yeah I swear, I'm there, for you forever

No ocean could ever be that wide
No river to deep to keep your love from me
I swear it's the truth
Nothing Can Keep Me From You
There's no race I would not go to
No distance would ever be too far
To keep me away I'd always find a way to show
you it's true
Nothing Can Keep Me
No, Nothing Can Keep Me from You
No mountain, No ocean, No river
Nothing Can Keep Me from You
No mountain, No ocean, No river
No mountain, No ocean, No river
Nothing Can Keep Me from You
Before I had a baby
I didn't care anyway
I thought about the back door
I didn't know what to say
But once I got a baby
I, I tried every way
She didn't wanna do it
But she did anyway
But baby please don't refuse
You know you got nothin' to lose

And she does anyway
But baby please don't refuse
You know you got nothin' to lose
You got nothin' to lose
You got, got nothin' to lose, yeah baby

You got, got
Let's make up or break up
'cause we've seen better days
Yeah, they'll have to drag you
Kicking and screaming off the stage
Don't do me favors
Don't show your face
Don't tell me what to play
It's not your place
The fans wanted us to play
We hear and we obey
You wanted the best
And you got the best
Aah Aah Aah
Aah Aah Aah
Don't give me glances
Don't give me sights
Well then, don't give me
Sweet talk, Pete, just testify
Hey, you live in fairy tales
You're just a fallin' star
Right, and who died and made you king
Just who do you think you are?
Everything's gotten way out of hand
But your wish is our command
You wanted the best
And you got the best
Aah Aah Aah
Aah Aah Aah
Everything's gotten way out of hand
But your wish is our command
You wanted the best
And you got the best
Aah Aah Aah
I still remember when I saw your face across the room
Told me to take you but the price of love would seal my doom
I know the way you made the others break
But lovin' me would be your first mistake
Same old ways, modern day Delilah
It's time you learned to give
Queen to slave, modern day Delilah
Listen
You lived your glory in a liar's haze you called the truth
The same old story of a social climb from wasted youth
You thought that you could bring me to my knees
But who's the one who's cryin' baby please
Same old ways, modern day Delilah
It' time you learned to give
Queen to slave, modern day Delilah
Just like the trigger on a loaded gun
You were the reason for the damage done
Too many lovers like a hunter's prey
Not today
I know the way you made the others break
But lovin' me would be your first mistake
It's time you learned to give
Same old ways, modern day Delilah
Shame, shame, shame on you girl
Queen to slave, modern day Delilah
Yeah, yeah, it's time you learned to give
Same old ways, now you'll pay Delilah
Life, a movie in my head
A page of lines we read
The words remain unsaid
Time, a race you never win
Look back at where we've been
And throw the towel in
Every time I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line
Tell Me
I just wanna take my turn
Now before I crash and burn
Yeah
Hope, a candle burning bright
A temporary light
'Till we return tonight
Love, the mighty drug we crave
The master and the slave
Will rule us to our grave
Everytime I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line
Tell Me
I just want a place to rest,
Count to four and catch my breath
One, Two, Three, Four...
I don't know what to feel
Don't know what to say
Don't know what to do
I don't know where to go
Don't know who to be
Don't know who to know
Life is never what it seems
It shakes you from your dreams
Wake up and start to
Everytime I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line
Tell Me
I just want a place to rest
Stop and let me catch my breath
Everytime I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line
Tell Me
Forget all that I've been told
I just wanna lose control
Everytime I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line
Tell Me
I just wanna take my turn
Now before I crash and burn
I just hate when the girl says wait
I really want her by my side
Don't hesitate
I really want her by my side
The whole night through
We do all the things that we wanna do
Well, come on baby, don't leave me sad
'Cause you're good lookin', the best I've had
Makin' love (makin' love), makin' love (makin' love)
Makin' love (makin' love) all night long
Makin' love (makin' love), makin' love (makin' love)
Makin' love (makin' love) all night long
Ow, all night long
Red light, green light, don't say 'No'
I really want her, she says
'Stop, baby' go, go, go
I really want her by my side
The whole night through
We do all the things that we wanna do
Well, come on baby, don't leave me sad
'Cause you're good lookin', the best I've had
Makin' love (makin' love), makin' love (makin' love)
Makin' love (makin' love) all night long
Makin' love (makin' love), makin' love (makin' love)
Makin' love (makin' love) all night
Whoo, makin' love (makin' love)
all night long, makin' love (makin' love)
Makin' love (makin' love) all night long
Makin' love (makin' love), makin' love (makin' love)
Makin' love (makin' love) all night long
Makin' love (makin' love), makin' love (makin' love)
Makin' love (makin' love) all night, oh
My limousine is a-waitin'
And I see you comin' my way, hey, hey, hey
I'm sittin' by the window
And you ask me which hotel I stay in
Well, make a reservation
Between the hours of ten and two, how do you do
You've got the time to remember
I've gotta slick proposition you
There's nothing else I'd rather do
So you lift your dress
You wanna impress
There's one thing I've got to confess
Love 'em, leave 'em, love 'em, leave 'em
Love 'em, leave 'em, love 'em, leave 'em, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Mmm, so I give you my number
You say you will see me tonight
You just have to remember
Check with me if it's alright
You wanna sit in my driver's seat
If you do it's alright with me
I've got to hand it to you, baby
You know what a girl's gotta do
There's nothing else I'd rather do
With you, but I, but I
Love 'em, leave 'em, love 'em, leave 'em
Love 'em, leave 'em
Love 'em, leave 'em, love 'em, leave 'em
Love 'em, leave 'em, love 'em, leave 'em, yeah
Love 'em, leave 'em, love 'em, leave 'em, yeah
Love 'em, leave 'em, love 'em, leave 'em
Love 'em, leave 'em, love 'em, leave 'em, yeah
Love 'em, leave 'em, love 'em, leave 'em
Love 'em, leave 'em, love 'em, leave 'em, yeah
Love 'em, leave 'em
I got a letter just the other day
She sent a picture, but she didn't sign her name
She wore high heels and a little black lace
I knew her body, but I couldn't see her face
She didn't leave a number, not an address or a clue
But something in that photograph reminded me of you
Baby, let's put the X in sex
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, let's put the X in sex
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye
I got a call in the middle of the night
Heavy breathin' never sounded quite so nice
She said "Oh yeah, I wish that I was there"
I asked who was calling, but she wasn't playing fair
Sometimes you gotta suffer for the pleasure that you seek
You're beggin' for an eyeful but you only get a peek
Baby, let's put the X in sex
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, let's put the X in sex
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye
I heard somebody knockin' so I opened up the door
She wore a hat, shades, and a trench coat
Wasn't wearin' that much more
She said she knew my secrets but I didn't have a clue
Then I saw those black lace panties and I knew that it was you
Baby, let's put the X in sex
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, let's put the X in sex
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye
Let's put the X in sex
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, let's put the X in sex
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye
Let's put the X in sex
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, let's put the X in sex
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye
Let's put the X in sex
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, let's put the X in sex
Ah let me, let me
Let me be your Sunday driver
Let me be your Monday man
I'll take you anywhere you want
Just as fast as I can
It doesn't matter what you wanna do
It doesn't matter where you wanna go
Just gotta decide girl and then you let me know
Oh, did you ever want lovin', so you're callin'
Up your baby and she's stallin' with the neighbors
And the night keeps gettin' longer
And the urge keeps getting stronger
So your tryin and your dyin' and you're wonderin' does she love you
A knock comes at your door
Let me in honey
Let me
Let me be your Tuesday taxi
Let me be your Wednesday boy
I'll be your lovin' man
You'll be my bundle of joy
And oh
It doesn't matter what you wanna do
It doesn't matter where you wanna go
You just gotta decide girl and then you let me know
Vill du ha din frihet får du ta den innan slaven tigger trygghet i ditt hus
Du kan trycka i tristessen men aldrig få din tid igen
Tror du samhällets intressen är din vän?
Vill du ha din kärlek får du ta den innan vedertagna vägar blir ditt rus
Du kan tvinga ner din längtan men aldrig tysta hjärtats slag
Gör du hopplöshetens väntan till din lag?
Du har ditt äventyr
och du vet vad och vem som styr
Vill du vara den som alltid flyr
eller stanna och slåss
laglös
Vill du ha din stolthet får du ta den innan Jante visar upp dej på sitt torg
Du kan foga dej i flocken. Du kan kuva ner din kraft
Men aldrig se dej i dom ögon du en gång haft
Du har ditt äventyr
och du vet vad och vem som styr
Vill du vara den som alltid flyr
eller stanna och slåss
laglös
Vill du ha din glädje får du ta den innan ängarna och stränderna förbjuds
Du kan leva utan humor, utan myter och musik
men står du ut med ensamheten i ditt tomma skrik?
Du har ditt äventyr
och du vet vad och vem som styr
Vill du vara den som alltid flyr
eller stanna och slåss
laglös
It's so sad, livin' at home
Far from the city and the midnight fun
It's so bad, goin' to school
So far from me and the dirty things that we do
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream
It's so fine, lovin' with ease
Far from the house and the family fights
It's so fine, bein' with you
Bein' with me makes everything alright
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream, alright
It's so sad, you're not content
Far from the music and the neon glow
Ain't you glad we got the time
Far from our folks, they'll never ever know
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream
I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king
I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream
I'm the king of the night time world
Oh yeah
I'm pretty good at takin' care myself
I always get enough to get me by
So if you're askin' for a little love
Well, baby, there ain't nothin' I won't try
You got me knockin' on wood
I never knew that you could
Well, if you want me to stay for the night, it's alright
It's alright if you want me
It's alright if you need me
Girl, if you want me to stay for the night
Girl, if you want me to stay satisfied
Girl, if you want me to stay for the night, it's alright
I knew the minute that I picked you up
That I would never want to put you down
Don't try to tell me that you've had enough
Until you realize what you've found
I'll give you breakfast in bed
You're goin' right to my head
Girl, if you want me to stay for the night, it's alright
It's alright if you want me
It's alright if you need me
Girl, if you want me to stay for the night
Girl, if you want me to stay satisfied
Girl, if you want me to stay for the night, well, it's alright
Girl, you know, I'll be leavin' in the mornin'
You got to take what you can
Yeah, you know, that I'm givin' you the warnin'
Girl, it's just a one night stand, yeah
Come over here
Oh, it's alright if you want me
It's alright if you need me
Girl, if you want me to stay for the night
Girl, if you want me to stay satisfied
Girl, if you want me to stay for the night, well, it's alright
If you want me
It's alright if you need me
Want it
You can have it
Come and take it
I don't need it
Power and possessions
Never quiet your obsessions
Outside, we search for something
Inside, we still have nothing
People deep in trouble
Let their money run for double
Outside, they search for something
Inside, they still have nothing
It never ends
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
Yeah
Heartless rich and greedy
Watch the churches rape the needy
While we pray for salvation
Preachers yield to temptation
It never ends
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
Blinded believers and doomsday deceivers
Are driving you out of your head
Look in the mirror, the answer is near
Though your sanity hangs by a thread
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even I could
And even I would
It never goes away
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
How many times have they lied with the truth in their eyes
Treat you like dirt, wasting the days of our lives
They try and deny it, ain't gonna buy it, just look around
Before it's all over, it's gonna get rough
I've had enough -
Chorus:
(Out of the cold into the fire) Nothing and no one is stopping me now
(Out of the cold into the fire) Just hang tough and we'll make it somehow
How many times have you given up more than you got
Countin' on things turnin' out, but you know they will not
Ain't gonna take it, kick it and break it, just look around
Before it's all over it's gonna get rough
chorus repeats 2x
Wishin' and hopin' won't get you nothin'
Prayin' and schemin', no time for dreamin'
I've got the power, this is the hour now
Wishin' and hopin' won't get you nothin'
Prayin' and schemin', no time for dreamin'
I've got the power, this is the hour now
chorus repeats 2x
Oh, let's get 'em, boys
Too many women, I've got too little time
I keep on tryin'
Man, if it kills me I know that I'll go
Dead, stiff, and smilin'
Oh, don't need no doctor puttin' me to bed
Give me the nurse and I'll make sure that she's fed
Don't need no doctor giving me pills

Come on
She looked good
She looked hotter than hell
All dressed in satins and lace
I looked at her and it was just too clear
I had to get on the case
I said lady, oh lady, can I take you home
There's just so much we could do
I'll take you all around the whole wide world
Before the evening is through
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
Burn you like the midday sun
I asked her why she couldn't make up her mind
She said you don't understand
I'd love to go, but there's something you should know
She showed me her wedding band
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
She'll burn you like the midday sun
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know shes gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You better listen up, since you screwed me you've been on my mind
Yeah, 'til the day we met, I was cruisin', I was doin' fine
Ooh, but now my world's gone crazy and I think about you all the time
I'm gonna tell it to ya baby, it ain't like it was
There'll be no ifs ands or maybes, only justice because
Chorus:
Hey, baby (I got an angry soul, I got a broken home)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(I got no self-control, you gotta heart of chrome)
Yeah, sugar (and now you're gonna see, that since you messed with me)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(You'll pay eternally, for your heart of chrome)
For your heart of chrome
Yeah, you really made a fool outta me
Everybody knew you used me, but I was just too blind to see
You taped our sexy conversations and you sold 'em to the BBC
You told me people can't be trusted, you gotta watch the things they do
But if you still believe in justice, I'm gonna give it to ya, give it to ya
Ooh!
chorus
(Instrumental break)
You told me lies about all that you feel
I realize now that nothing was real
You took everything you could beg borrow steal
chorus repeats 2x
Hate is what I am
Cuz underneath this heart
There beats the heart of man
You'll wear your crown
When you're lyin' 6 feet underground
Don'tcha think it's odd
Man was created in the image of God
All you martyrs and saviours
Go through the same door
Listen all you butchers, saints and sinners
We've all been here before
Yes, Hate is what I am
Cuz underneath this heart
There beats the heart of man
So you're lookin' for a saviour
But I'm here to tell ya
You gotta save yourself Lead a lamb to slaughter
All you ever did was follow orders
All you martyrs and saviours
Go through the same door
Listen all you butchers, saints and sinners
We've all been here before
All you martyrs and saviours
Go through the same door
Hey listen all you butchers, saints and sinners
We've all been here before
Hate
HAATE!
Yes, Hate is what I am
Cuz underneath this heart
There beats the heart of man
MAAAN
Well, I recall days in the city
And I think back, 'Oh what a pity'
Rememberin' how it wasn't pretty
Every day life in the city
Out in the street we had to take it
With friends around, couldn't it
What wasn't there, we had to make it
Hangin' out down in the city
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be
We had to fight to be accepted
It wasn't right and I protested
For hangin' out we got arrested
Every day life in the city
We'd go to school and then we'd cut out
Go to the park and space our heads out
We called it fun but there was some doubt
Hangin' out down in the city
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be
I don't wanna be there or even think back
I don't wanna be there, now I'm on the right track, yeah
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be
I don't wanna be there or even think back
I don't wanna be there, 'cause I'm on the right track
Now I'm on the right track
I'm finally on the right track
I'm finally on the right track
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure
You don't feel right, you can't find a cure
And you're gettin' less than what you're lookin' for
You don't have money or a fancy car
And you're tired of wishin' on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar
Chorus:
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
"Now listen"
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far
Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five
You can take a stand, or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don't start livin' till you realize - "I gotta tell ya!"
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul
(Instrumental break)
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll
chorus repeats out...
"I know life sometimes can get tough! And I know life sometimes can be a drag!
But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road
And that road's name is... Rock and Roll!"
I didn't know 'bout the modern ways of life, I didn't really care
I never gave a damn about the future, I never got my share
Somebody said, boy your time's a wastin', you're movin' much too slow
So many things in life worth tastin', so much you oughta know - look out
Get down, fool around, if you got half a chance, you take it
Ooh yeah, stand your ground, you gotta bend the rules to make it
Hold tight, see the light, think of all the dues you're payin'
So true, I'm tellin' you, wise up, can't you hear me sayin'
You gotta get all you can take - sing along, gotta keep on hummin'
Stop waitin' for your lucky break - stop waitin', wastin' time
What fuckin' difference does it make? - ooh, gotta keep it comin'
You gotta get all you can take - doncha know I'm gonna take what's mine
People lookin', eyes wide open, tell me what you see
Bodies tired, minds 'a chokin', you gotta set 'em free
Don't think about the race they're runnin', they'll never let you in
With all the rules, it's a race of fools, and you can never win - look out
Get down, fool around, think of all the dues you're payin'
Oh yeah, stand your ground, wise up, can't you hear me sayin'
You gotta get all you can take - sing along, gotta keep on hummin'
Stop waitin' for your lucky break - stop waitin', wastin' time
What fuckin' difference does it make? - ooh, gotta keep it comin'

I've just begun since you've gone, to understand I'm the only one
And if you cross yourself at night
I'll come and see you, don't run and hide
I'm always near you, I'm always near you, near you
And if you turn out the light (turn out the light)
Don't think you'll hide behind the night (behind the night)

Everyone, oh everyone, aha, oh everyone
Everyone, oh aha, aha, everyone, oh everyone, aha, oh aha
Baby, now that you've made up your mind
I'm gonna let you go, if that's what it takes to show love is blind
I gave you the best love you ever had, but it wasn't enough
So if you think you're so smart, go and play with your heart
When you walk out the door, you'll realize what you never did before
A million to one - that's what it will be
A million to one - there's someone better than me
A million to one - no, you never will find
A million to one - another love like mine
Yeah, we chose our sides and I've been misunderstood
But everytime I try to open your eyes, I'm damned and I'm no good
Day after day, you're further away, I can't take anymore
So it's time that you go, but I want you to know, I won't stand in your way
Deep in my heart I know, girl you're runnin' away
A million to one - that's what it will be
A million to one - there's someone better than me
A million to one - no, you never will find
A million to one - another love like mine
A million to one
One of these days you'll come out of your haze, no matter what you do
It'll be too late, something good won't wait, love is runnin' out on you
A million to one, a million to one
A million to one - that's what it will be
A million to one - there's someone better than me

Hot lover, turn up the heat

I feel a fire burnin' under me
I've got a hunger that you love's gotta feed
You make me sweat, you turn me 'round
You get me up, you never let me down
You make me rock hard, baby all night
Love's like a glove and it fits just rights
You make me rock hard, so baby hold tight
Come on baby, let's rock hard, baby all night
I'm under a physical spell
I'm a prisoner and your love is my cell
Once I get started I can't stop
I can't cool down 'cause this love is so hot
You make me sweat, you turn me 'round
You get me up, you never let me down
You make me rock hard, baby all night
Love's like a glove and it fits just right

Rock hard, baby all night
She thinks, she's high fashion
She thinks, she looks divine
And that's what I keep tellin' her
I tell her all the time
And she tells me, she likes fast cars
She says, she likes mine the best
And just because of that, baby
You think she'd forget the rest, no, no, no
Just call me a three time loser
That's all I'll ever be
'Cause my baby's such a two timer
You know she's two timing, she's two timing me
Two timer, my baby is a two timer
My baby's a two timer, my baby's a two timer
My baby, she's two timing me
Timer, two timer
Just call me a three time loser
That's all I'll ever be
'Cause my baby's such a two timer
You know she's two timing, she's two timing me
Two timer, two timer
My baby's a two timer, my baby's a two timer
My baby, she's two timing me
Two timer
My baby is a two timer
She's nothin' but a two timer
And it's the truth baby, you're a two timer
Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot
Tempered steel fire bright to the night I take
I fear not
Now compelled by somethin' I cannot see
I go forth surrenderin' to history
Your glory, I swear I'll ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be
Through a dream I have come to an ancient door
Lost in the mist
I have been there a hundred times or more
Pounding my fists
Now inside the fire of the ancient burns
A boy goes in and suddenly a man returns
Your glory, I swear I'll ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be
I gave my word and gained a key, I gave my heart and I set it free
There's no turning back from this odyssey
Because I feel so alive suddenly and I wonder, is this really me?
Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot
Tempered steel fire bright to the night I take
I fear not
Now compelled by somethin' I cannot see
I go forth surrenderin' to history
Your glory, I swear I'll ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
I've been tryin' to get away, to get away
To leave this old town
I've been tryin' to see my way, to see my way
So I won't be found
Many times I've felt alone, I've felt alone
But that's all behind
One thing I know, I know
One thing is that
I know I have to go, got no dough
Should I stay or should I go
Gotta get away, don't want to stay
Leavin' tomorrow by subway
Some people, they tell me, they tell me
I've been here to long
It don't compel me, they tell me
I just don't belong
Sometimes I wonder, I wonder
What's right or what's wrong
One thing I know, I know
One thing is that
I know I have to go, got no dough
Should I stay or should I go
Gotta get away, don't want to stay
Leavin' tomorrow by subway
I gotta get away, get away, get away, get away
I gotta get away, yeah, baby get away
Gotta, gotta, gotta get away
Baby's getting anxious, the hour's getting late
The night is almost over, she can't wait
Oh, things are complicating, my love is in her hands
And there's no more waiting, she understands
The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection
A token of my love for her collection, her collection
Plaster caster, grab a hold of me faster
And if you wanna see my love, just ask her
And my love is the plaster
And yeah, she's the collector
She wants me all the time to inject her
The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection
A token of my love for her collection
Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
And if you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her
Go on, ask her
The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection
A token of my love for her collection, her collection
Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
If you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her
Plaster caster, plaster caster
She wants my love to last her, last her, last her
And she calls me by the name of master, master
Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
If you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her
Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
And if you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her
Alright
I know your wheels are turning, got your fire burning
I know your heart's as cold as stone
You're covered in abuses, dripping with excuses
I know you got a lover at home
But you'll come here to me, time after time
You'll go down on your knees
Yeah, girl, I can read your mind
Because we're partners in crime, partners in crime
You're going empty handed, smiling like a bandit
Knocking on my window each night
You're sweeter than a beauty queen, darker than a limousine
Need me 'cause I make you feel right
Yeah, when it's sink or it's swim and the temperature flies
You get your body so close and lay it all on the line
Because we're partners in crime, partners in crime
Because we're partners in crime, ooh, yeah
When it's sink or swim and the tale's that's you're blind
You get your body so close and lay it all on the line
Because we're partners in crime, partners in crime
Ooh, yeah, because we're partners in crime
Because we're partners in crime
Partners in crime, partners in crime
Don't know what's been goin' on in your head, no
When you knew that his love was through
You closed your eyes instead
I was there with a shoulder to lean on
It's not gonna happen twice
If you go I just want you to know, it's alright
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Did you think it would open up in the night, yeah?
Just pretend I'm only a friend and disappear from sight
One day you're gonna be lonely, wishin' I was by your side
And one day you'll think of me only
But girl, you gotta take the ride
Well too bad, now that the damage is done
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Little girl, gonna make your bed in the night, yeah
Now you say, "You're goin' away"
But I will keep your heart
And you will cry when you realize you were wrong
Run on, run on
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, no
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Ready set go, light the fire below
No time left to rest my head
Time for action, gonna start the show
Catch your breath because I wont slow down
I'm gonna kick it up instead
'Cause Iknow what I'm doiong
And I know what I want
Give me life for the taking
Give me love till I'm shaking
Give me rules just for breaking
Because it's never enough
Never enough
Never enough
People waste time on their hopes and dreams
Fate is always in my hands
Only way I know is the way I'm gonna go
Let others site and make their plans
I won't stop till I make it to the top
Don't need no one to understand
Cause I know what I'm doing
And I know what I want

Some deny and search for things
That never come around, do I feel like a fool?
The places I have ran to all my life have disappeared
And I owe this all to you, all to you
I'm feeling like I'm sinking
And nothing's there to catch me
Keep me breathing, breathing
What do I have to do?
Why can't this hurt be through?
I'm going head unto
Something I know I will fail
Why can't this kiss be true?
Why won't you please let me through?
I don't understand
Why you always push me away
Well, last thing I would like to do before I go away
Is cry there next to you, next to you
Cry and talk about the good old days and where they've gone
And now how much I hate you
What do I have to do?
Why can't this hurt be through?
I'm going head unto
Something I know I will fail
Why can't this kiss be true?
Why won't you please let me through?
I don't understand
Why you always push me away
I feel the blood drip off the body
As it pools right there on the ground
What am I now?
What am I now? What am I now?
What do I have to do?
Why can't this hurt be through?
I'm going head unto
Something I know I will fail
Why can't this kiss be true?
Why won't you please let me through?
I don't understand
Why you always push me away

We stayed in this room
near the waterfalls
where we met the young couple
from Clermont-Ferrand
you were a red primafleur
amongst grey daffodils
I remember a tune
ehich goes like this
Kiss me kiss me like I kiss you
miss me miss me like I miss you
while you dream your dream of somebody else
I play for you the whole night through
Though I hated the falls
I enjoyed every night
behind the curtains of joy
the sunlight burned dry
all the flowers that tried
to dim your bright light
I kept singing my song
through all day and all night
Kiss me kiss me like I kiss you
miss me miss me like I miss you
while you dream your dream of somebody else
I play for you the whole night through
The bells of your crown
couldn't hear them ring
they played for you
for me they won't sing
as I kissed too deep
right into your throat
found an oak inside
that's what it told
Kiss me kiss me like I kiss you
miss me miss me like I miss you
go on dreaming your dream
seems like somebody else
plays the part of yours
in a cheap old hotel
Now you lay underneath the tower bell
I can hear them singing gloomy tunes from hell
where the kisses don't burn
'cause the fire's too hot
so I sing for you
with the help from God
Kiss me kiss me like I kiss you
miss me miss me like I miss you
while you dream your dream of somebody else
I pray for you to escape from hell
Think I better dance now
Kiss, kiss
Kiss, kiss
Kiss
You gotta not talk dirty, baby
If you wanna impress me
You can't be too flirty, mama
I know how to undress me
Let me be your fantasy

You'll never understand,
The meaning in the end.
We're standing at the gate,
You'll meet the darker fate.
Your purity and rage,
Your passion and your hate,
You promised more than bliss,
With your God and with your kiss.
I am on my knees,
I beg your mercy,
My soul is my loss,
I'm well hung from your cross.
Take me,
Take me in your arms my love and rape me,
Don't hide behind your rage
I know you love me,
And always will.
You're my possession,
Of that my love there really is no question.
Don't hide behind your rage
I know you love me
And always will.
My better half it's true
Has seen the darker side of you,
Innocence stripped away,
I was working at the mall after school on a Friday
You were with your mom, dont know what you were buying
We made eye-contact, through the tee-shirt rack
And I was hoping that you would say something to me (but you didnt)
But you were too afraid to talk while your momma was present
So when she left the store you came back in cause you left something
Slipt your number to me, on the back of the receipt
And you made me promise I would call you later (And I did)
I thought I knew it..
Thought I knew it from the first time I saw you
Thought I knew it from the first time we met
Thought I knew it from the first time we kicked it
But I knew it from the first time we kissed (when we kissed)
It felt just like we fell in love (when we kissed)
I know right then I fell in love (when we kissed)
Your lips showed me the purest love (when we kissed)
When I got home from work it was 9 in the evening
When we got off the phone it was 9 in the morning
Now its Saturday, so we planned a date
To meet up at 6 oclock at the movies
We got there (got some snacks)
Some drinks (it was dark)
So we sat (in the back)
Thats when you (stole my heart)
Cause you kissed me, didnt know you would kiss me
And I loved every bit fell in love with your kiss
Thought I knew it from the first time I saw you
Thought I knew it from the first time we met
Thought I knew it from the first time we kicked it
But I knew it from the first time we kissed (when we kissed)
It felt just like we fell in love (when we kissed)
I know right then I fell in love (when we kissed)
Your lips showed me the purest love (when we kissed)
The touch of your hand, is where it began
The feel of your heart, still wasnt enough
But everything changed, on our first date
Boy thats when it hit me, the moment you kissed me
The touch of your hand, is where it began
The feel of your heart, still wasnt enough
But everything changed, on our first date
Boy thats when it hit me, the moment you kissed me
She cries out to the dead
Singing praise as they fell
Resurrection from the grave
An angel's kiss is what I crave
An angel's kiss is what I seek
To feel her skin next to mine
Resurrect me from my grave
Take me back to see my crimes
Take me back to what I was
To undo all my crimes
Follow me through my life
Making good all my ways
Take me back to what I am
Witness to all my crimes
Follow her till the end
Crying as I die again
An angel's kiss is what I seek
To feel her mouth next to mine
Kiss me now before I die
Take my hand and lead the way
Let me live my life again
Living for eternity
Amending my fallen ways
Letting sorrow turn to joy
Been searching for an angel
But been looking for some sin
Her face is pure as clearest water
Her eyes as deep as the ocean sea
Want to take her
And to love her
Embrace her
For eternity
An angel's kiss proves so cold
To hear her laugh in my soul
A witness to my misery
An angel's path is all I seek
Do we want to live forever
Do we want to suffer more
Do you want to live forever
You'll never understand,
the meaning in the end,
we're standing at the gate,
you'll meet the darker fate,
your purity and rage,
your passion and your hate,
you promised more than bliss,
with your God and with your kiss,
I'm on my knees,
I beg your mercy,
my soul is my loss,
I'm well hung from your cross.
Take me,
take me in your arms my love and rape me,
don't hide behind your rage
I know you love me,
and always will,
you're my possession,
of that my love there really is no question,
don't hide behind your rage
I know you love me
and always will,
my better half it's true
has seen the darker side of you,
innocence stripped away,
(kiss, kiss me)
(hold, hold me)
(kiss me, hold me, kiss me, hold me...)
kiss, kiss me
say you miss, miss me
kiss me love, with heavenly affection
hold, hold me close to you
hold me, see me through
with all your heart's protection
thrill, thrill me
with your charms
take me, in your arms
and make my life perfection
kiss, kiss me darling
then, kiss me once again
make my dreams come true
(this is the moment, oh thrill me)
thrill me, thrill me (with your charms)
take me, take me (in your arms)
and make my life perfection
take me, darling don't foresake me
kiss me
hold me tight
love me, love me tonight
(kiss me, hold me, take me, love me, kiss me, kiss me,
i went out last night
i'm going out tonight again

but i don't want it to end
this kiss is something i can't resist
and lips are undeniable

i wish it didnt feel like this
cause i dont want to miss this kiss
i wish it didnt feel like this
You don't have to be beautiful to turn me on
I just need your body, baby, from dusk 'til dawn
You don't need experience to turn me on
You just leave it all up to me
I'm gonna show you what it's all about
You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your kiss
You got to not talk dirty, baby, if you wanna impress me
You can't be too flirty, mama, I know how to undress me
I want to be your fantasy, maybe you could be mine
You just leave it all up to me, we could have a good time
You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your kiss
Yes, oh
I think I wanna dance
Gotta, gotta
Little girl Wendy's parade
Gotta, gotta, gotta
Women, not girls, rule my world, I said they rule my world
Act your age, mama, not your shoe size
Not your shoe size, maybe we could do the twirl
You don't have to watch Dynasty to have an attitude
You just leave it all up to me, my love will be your food
You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm compatible with
The shadows fall
Leaving traces in your face
That I can look for when I'm old
And think of all the days we could have missed
Now here again
I'm always young in the silly lines
Of poetry
But I believe that tide is turning
Round and round again
Oh, I'm a little surprised by your kiss
And who is going to blame me for this
A little song today
An illusion in a picture frame to stay
He passed me by
This old man with his cane and all
Heading for an evening stroll
The streets were wet with rain
And even though
He did not speak
He told a lot by being meek
I saw a glimpse Of who he'd been
And who I'd like to be
Oh, I'm a little surprised by your kiss
And who is going to blame me for this
A little song today
An illusion in a picture frame to stay
Now where you want to go
What you want to know
Makes the world go round
What you want to be - doesn't matter to me
Just sing from your soul
Sing from your soul - we're growing old
And oh, I'm a little surprised by your kiss
And who is going to blame me for this
A little song today
An illusion in a picture frame to stay
Oh, I'm a little suprised by your kiss
And who is going to blame me for this
A little song today
An illusion in a picture frame to stay
And oh, I'm a little surprised by your kiss
And who is going to blame me for this
A little song today
An illusion in a picture frame to stay
An illusion in a picture frame to stay
I wanna go back to the moment you met me
'Cause all I wanna know is just how we came to be
'Cause you're inside now, you're everything I need
And all I wanna know is just when you're gonna leave
'Cause if I'm just waiting 'round for you
Then I'm just killin' time it's true
'Cause all the time I spent running out
I kept coming back to you
But I could see
You're everything I want I need
But if you go
Take everything you gave to me
I've felt this way now
Since we came to be
But all along I been hoping
You could settle it for me
'Cause if I'm just waiting 'round for you
Then I'm just killin' time it's true
'Cause all the time I spent running out
I kept coming back to you
But I could see
You're everything I'd want or need
But if you go
Take everything you gave to me
I could see
You're everything I'd ever want or need
If you go
Take everything you gave to me
And I'm not so used to this confusion
Oh, there's so much to lose
So if I'm just wating 'round for you
Then I'm just killin' time it's true
But I could see
You're everything I'd want I need
But if you go
Take everything you gave to me
I could see
You're everything I'd ever want I need
But if you go
Take everything you gave to me
To me
[Chorus]
Give me a kiss that I wanna miss I love you with all my heart just give me a kiss,give me a kiss that i wanna miss i love you with all my heart just give me a kiss, give me a kiss that i wanna miss i love you with all my heart just give me a kiss, give me a kiss that i wanna miss i love you with all of my heart just give me a kiss.
Verse1
I wanna be with you for all of my life I wanna kiss your lips and hold you tight just giva me a kiss that I wannna miss I hold you with all of my might I want all your love like a speacil dove sent from heavan above I wanna give you mine and have a good time baby girl you just so fine
[Chorus]

Verse2
I just need you everyday I want you to be my lady I jus want your soft kiss and that what I don'y want to miss I wanna be your man I hope you understand that I want you baby so baby please don't go.
[Chorus]
I close my eyes and hold my breath
As I'm waiting for a moment that'll touch happiness.
When we are enveloped by a gentle wind
The tearful sky's colour changes
And so even if we are separated I want to feel it
always.
I'll wrap up my heart and send it to you.
KISS KISS and my morning starts
KISS KISS and I sleep at night
KISS KISS for an irreplaceable person
KISS KISS stronger than words
Even if you drop the key to my heart,[1]
I'll leave my mark behind so we can see eachother
again.
You may become uneasy when you can't see me,
But in those times I can make the best of magic.
I'm the only one in the whole world who's able to
Do these kinds of things for you.
KISS KISS and everything begins
KISS KISS and the curtain drops every time
KISS KISS modestly and carefully
KISS KISS for the person I love
KISS KISS and everything begins
KISS KISS and the curtain drops every time
KISS KISS modestly and carefully

Why you gotta complicate these
Things that I have done....
Can't figure it out coz it's too late....
Should I just leave her alone?....
I told her just to give it up and leave it....
Take your photographs and rip it....
Paint the world you had already....
Write a story....
A novel maybe....
Don't you complicate the setting?....
The pride you had is nothing....
Keep it simple stupid sadly screaming away....
Lets be ourselves a little....
Scream out shouting out for real....
I'm here; just hold me!....
Let's keep it nice and simple....(2X)
Stop, where are you going, hey....
Everyone's not leaving yet....
This party's gettin started
Take some shots from me and you’ll be fine....
Stay with me till next Friday ....
We’ll both drive down to ....Singapore........
And spend New Year’s watching the ....
Fireworks light up the sky ....
So “Yas”, Just hear me out a little....
Lets trust our lust a little....
When Friday comes we’ll all be....
Drinking, smoking....
Spacing…getting (insert your choice of DRUG here)....
My plans are all bout this....
Your pants could fall in one kiss....
Keep it simple stupid madly screaming away
Think I better dance now

Gene Simmons Slams President Obama's Israel Policy.
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 2:43
- Updated: 19 Sep 2012
Born in Israel under the name Chaim Witz, Gene Simmons relocated to Brooklyn at the age of 9 with his mother, a Hungarian immigrant and the only member of her family to survive the Holocaust. Once in the States his name was changed to the more American-sounding Gene Klein, and he struggled to advance his understanding of English through watching television and reading comics. During his school years, he developed an interest in horror and science fiction, for a while even publishing his own comics fanzine; but the Beatles phenomenon inspired a stronger urge to become a musician, and in 1967 he secured a second hand guitar from his mother to realize his ambitions. Participation in a series of different bands followed, amongst which were The Missing Links and The Long Island Sounds. After high school Simmons enrolled in college and began working towards a degree in education, performing at night as a member of Bullfrog Bheer and later in the folk duo Coffee. A period was spent as a teacher in Spanish Harlem and then as a personal assistant for the editor of Vogue, but by this time he had met Paul Stanley and, after a series of unsuccessful attempts, the two founded Kiss in 1973. It was at this point that he adopted the name Gene Simmons.

Kiss (often stylized as KISS) is an American rock band formed in New York City in January 1973.[1] Well known for its members' face paint and flamboyant stage outfits, the group rose to prominence in the mid to late 1970s on the basis of their elaborate live performances, which featured fire breathing, blood spitting, smoking guitars, shooting rockets, levitating drum kits and pyrotechnics. Counting the 1978 solo albums, Kiss has been awarded 28 gold albums to date, the most of any American rock band.[2] The band has sold more than 40 million albums in the United States, of which 20 million have been certified by the RIAA[3] and their worldwide sales exceeds 100 million albums.[4] The 1973–'80 original lineup of Paul Stanley (vocals and rhythm guitar), Gene Simmons (vocals and bass guitar), Ace Frehley (lead guitar) and Peter Criss (drums) is the most successful.
With their makeup and costumes, they took on the personas of comic book-style characters: Starchild (Stanley), The Demon (Simmons), Spaceman or Space Ace (Frehley) and Catman (Criss). The band explains that the fans were the ones who ultimately chose their makeup designs. Stanley became the "Starchild" because of his tendency to be referred to as the "starry-eyed lover" and "hopeless romantic". The "Demon" makeup reflected Simmons' cynicism and dark sense of humor, as well as his affection for comic books. Frehley's "Spaceman" makeup was a reflection of his fondness for science fiction and supposedly being from another planet. Criss' "Catman" makeup was in accordance with the belief that he had nine lives because of his rough childhood in Brooklyn. Because of creative differences, both Criss and Frehley were out of the group by 1982. The band's commercial fortunes had waned considerably by that point.
Buoyed by a wave of Kiss nostalgia in the 1990s, the band announced a reunion of the original lineup in 1996. The resulting Kiss Alive/Worldwide/Reunion Tour was the top-grossing act of 1996 and 1997. Criss and Frehley have since left Kiss again, but the band continues with Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer. Stanley and Simmons have remained the only two constant members. Kiss has been named in many "Top" lists. They include Number 10 on VH1's '100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock',[5] 9th on 'The Greatest Metal Bands' list by MTV,[6] number one on Hit Paraders's "Top 100 Live Bands",[7] 56th on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists Of All Time",[8] and 26th on Gibson's "50 Greatest American Rock Bands".[9] Kiss was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,[10] ten years after becoming eligible. However, on December 15, 2009, it was announced that Kiss did not make it in.[11]

History[link]
Early years and struggles (1971–75)[link]
Kiss traces their roots to Wicked Lester, a New York City-based rock and roll band led by co-founders Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. Wicked Lester, with its eclectic mixture of musical styles, never achieved any success. They recorded one album, which was shelved by Epic Records, and played a handful of live shows. Simmons and Stanley, feeling that a new musical direction was needed, abandoned Wicked Lester in 1972 and began forming a new group.[12][13][14]
In late 1972, Simmons and Stanley came across an ad in the East Coast version of Rolling Stone placed by Peter Criss, a veteran drummer from the New York scene, who was previously in bands called Lips and Chelsea. Criss auditioned for, and joined the new version of Wicked Lester. The trio focused on a much harder style of rock than Wicked Lester played. Inspired by the theatrics of Alice Cooper and the New York Dolls, they also began experimenting with their image by wearing makeup and various outfits.[15] In November 1972, the trio played a showcase for Epic Records A&R director Don Ellis, in an effort to secure a record deal. Although the performance went well, Ellis hated the group's image and music. On top of that, as he was leaving, he was vomited on by Criss's brother.[16]
In early January 1973, the group added lead guitarist Ace Frehley. Frehley impressed the group with his first audition, although he showed up wearing two different sneakers, one red and one orange. A few weeks after Frehley joined, the Wicked Lester name was dropped and the band became Kiss.[17]
Stanley came up with the name as he, Simmons, and Criss were driving around New York City. Criss mentioned that he was in a band called Lips, so Stanley said something to the effect of "What about Kiss?"[18] Frehley created the now-iconic logo, making the "SS" look like lightning bolts, when he went to write the new band name over Wicked Lester on a poster outside the club where they were going to play.[19] The runic letters happened to look similar to the insignia of the Nazi SS, a symbol that is now illegal to display in Germany. Therefore, to avoid controversy, since 1979 most of the band's album covers and merchandise in Germany have used a modified version of the logo instead, with the SS represented by two backwards Zs.
The band's name has repeatedly been the subject of many rumors pertaining to its alleged hidden meanings. Among these rumors are claims that the name is an acronym for "Knights In Satan's Service", "Kinder SS", or "Kids In Satan's Service". These claims have been denied by Simmons himself.[20][21]
The first Kiss performance was on January 30, 1973, for an audience of three at the Popcorn Club (renamed Coventry shortly afterward) in Queens. For the first three gigs, January 30 – February 1, they wore little to no makeup; the iconic makeup designs associated with Kiss made their debut during the March 9–10 shows at The Daisy in Amityville, NY. On March 13 of that year, the band recorded a five-song demo tape with producer Eddie Kramer. Former TV director Bill Aucoin, who had seen the group at a handful of showcase concerts in the summer of 1973, offered to become the band’s manager in mid-October. Kiss agreed, with the condition that Aucoin get them signed to a recording contract within two weeks. On November 1, 1973, Kiss became the first act signed to former teen pop singer and Buddah Records executive Neil Bogart's new label Casablanca Records.[22]
The band entered Bell Sound Studios in New York City on October 10, 1973 to begin recording their first album. On December 31 the band had their official industry premiere at the Academy of Music in New York City, opening for Blue Öyster Cult. It was at this concert that Simmons accidentally set his hair (which was coated in hairspray) ablaze for the first of many times while performing his inaugural firebreathing stunt.[23]
Kiss' first tour started on February 5, 1974 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium. The band’s self-titled debut album, Kiss, was released on February 18. Casablanca and Kiss promoted the album heavily throughout the spring and summer of 1974. On February 19, the band performed "Nothin' to Lose," "Firehouse," and "Black Diamond" for what would become their first national television appearance, on ABC's Dick Clark's In Concert (aired March 29). On April 29, the band performed "Firehouse" on The Mike Douglas Show. This broadcast included Simmons's first televised interview, a conversation with Douglas in which Simmons declared himself "evil incarnate," eliciting titters from an uncomfortable and largely confused studio audience. Fellow guest Totie Fields remarked that it would be humorous if, beneath all the make-up, Simmons was "just a nice Jewish boy." Simmons deftly parried this remark with neither a confirmation nor denial, by saying simply, "You should only know." To which she responded, "I do. You can't hide the hook," a reference to the Jewish nose.[24]
Despite the publicity and constant touring, Kiss initially sold just 75,000 copies. Meanwhile, the group and Casablanca Records were losing money quickly. The band (while touring) stopped in Los Angeles in August 1974 to begin recording their second album, Hotter Than Hell, which was released on October 22, 1974. The only single, "Let Me Go, Rock 'n' Roll," failed to chart and the album stalled at No. 100.[25]
With Hotter Than Hell quickly dropping off the charts, Kiss was pulled from their tour to quickly record a new album. Casablanca head Neil Bogart stepped in to produce the next album, trading in the murky, distorted sound of Hotter Than Hell for a cleaner and slightly poppier sound. Dressed to Kill, released on March 19, 1975, fared slightly better commercially than Hotter Than Hell. It also contained what later became the band's trademark song, "Rock and Roll All Nite".[26]
Although Kiss albums had not proved to be big sellers, the band was quickly gaining a reputation as a top-flight live act. Kiss concerts featured things such as Simmons spitting "blood" (primarily raw eggs and food coloring) or "breathing fire" (spitting flammable liquid at a torch); Frehley soloing as his guitar burst into flames (light and smoke bombs placed inside the guitar); Criss's elevating drum riser that emitted sparks; Stanley's Townshend-style guitar smashing; and pyrotechnics throughout the show.[27]
By late 1975, Casablanca was almost bankrupt and Kiss was in danger of losing their record contract. Both parties desperately needed a commercial breakthrough if they were to survive. That breakthrough came in an unlikely form – a double live album.[28]
Rise to prominence (1975–78)[link]
Kiss wanted to express the excitement felt at their concerts (which their studio albums had so far failed to do) with their first live album. Released on September 10, 1975, Alive! achieved Gold status and spawned Kiss' first top 40 single, a live version of "Rock and Roll All Nite." It was the first version of "Rock and Roll All Nite" with a guitar solo, and this recording has come to represent the definitive version of the song; supplanting the studio original (the live version is the basis of most covers, such as the cover by Poison in 1987). In recent years the band admitted that additional audience noise had been added to the album, not to deceive fans, but to add more "excitement and realism" to the show.[29]
The success of Alive! not only brought Kiss the breakthrough they had been seeking, but arguably saved Casablanca, which was close to bankruptcy. Following this success, Kiss partnered with producer Bob Ezrin, who had previously worked with Alice Cooper. The result was Destroyer (released March 15, 1976), Kiss's most musically ambitious studio album to date. Destroyer, with its rather intricate production (utilizing an orchestra, choir, and numerous tape effects), was a departure from the raw sound of the first three studio albums. Album art was designed by Ken Kelly, who had drawn Tarzan, Conan the Barbarian and who also worked with acts such as Rainbow and Manowar.[30][31] While the album sold well initially and became the group's second gold album, it quickly dropped down the charts. Only when the ballad "Beth" (the B-Side to the single Detroit Rock City) began to gain more airplay, on FM radio did the album's sales rebound. "Beth" was a number seven hit for the band, and its success revived both the album (which achieved platinum status by the end of 1976) and ticket sales for Kiss.
In October 1976, Kiss appeared on The Paul Lynde Halloween Special, lip-synching "Detroit Rock City", "Beth", and "King of the Night Time World". For many teenagers, this was their first exposure to Kiss' dramatic appearance. The show was co-produced by Bill Aucoin. In addition to the three performances, Kiss was the subject of a brief comedic "interview" conducted by Paul Lynde himself. This included Lynde noting, when hearing the member's first names, "Oh, I love a good religious group." The group was introduced to Lynde by Margaret Hamilton dressed as the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard Of Oz.
Two more highly successful studio albums were released in less than a year—Rock and Roll Over (November 11, 1976) and Love Gun (June 30, 1977). A second live album, Alive II, was released on October 14, 1977. All three albums were certified platinum upon or soon after their release. Between 1976 and 1978, Kiss earned $17.7 million from record royalties and music publishing.[32] A 1977 Gallup poll named Kiss the most popular band in America. In Japan, Kiss performed five sold-out shows at Budokan Hall, breaking the previous record of four held by The Beatles.
In May 1977, Kiss made their first of many comic appearances in Howard the Duck issue 12 published by Marvel.[33] This served as a precursor to many more Kiss-related comics initially published by Marvel.
The first of what is now many Kiss greatest hits albums, Double Platinum, was issued on April 2, 1978. This double album included many remixed versions of their hits, as well as "Strutter '78," a re-recorded version of one of the group's signature songs. At Neil Bogart's request, the song was played in a style similar to the then-popular disco music.[34]
During this period, Kiss merchandise became a substantial source of income for the group. Some of the products released included a pair of comic books issued by Marvel (the first one of which contained ink mixed with actual blood donated by the group), a pinball machine, Kiss dolls, "Kiss Your Face Makeup" kits, Halloween masks, board games, bubble gum trading cards, and many other pieces of memorabilia. Membership in the Kiss Army, the band's fan club, was in the six figures. Between 1977 and 1979, worldwide merchandise sales (in-store and on tour) reached an estimated $100 million.[35]
Four solo albums (1978)[link]
Kiss was at their commercial peak by 1978. Alive II was the band's fourth platinum album in just under two years, and the ensuing tour had the highest average attendance (13,550) in the group's history. In addition, Kiss' gross income for 1977 was $10.2 million. The group, along with creative manager Bill Aucoin, sought to take the band to the next level of popularity. To that end, an ambitious, two-pronged strategy was devised for 1978.[36]
The first part involved the simultaneous release of four solo albums from the members of Kiss. Although Kiss has claimed that the solo albums were intended to ease rising tensions within the band, their 1976 record contract did in fact call for four solo records, with each of them counting as half an album toward the group's five-record commitment.[37] Each album was a solo effort (none of the group appeared on another's album), and were all released and marketed as Kiss albums (with similar cover art and poster inserts). It was the first time that all current members of a rock band had released solo albums on the same day.[38]
For the band members, it was a chance to showcase their individual musical styles and tastes outside of Kiss, and in some cases to collaborate with contemporary artists. Stanley's and Frehley's albums stuck pretty closely to the successful hard rock style that Kiss had utilized, while Criss' album featured an R&B style and was loaded with ballads. Simmons's was the most eclectic of the four. It featured hard rock, ballads, Beatles-influenced pop, and ended with a straight cover of "When You Wish upon a Star" (from the film Pinocchio). Simmons' many collaborators included Aerosmith's Joe Perry, Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, the Doobie Brothers' Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, disco diva Donna Summer, Janis Ian, Helen Reddy, Bob Seger, Katey Sagal and then-girlfriend Cher.
The Kiss solo albums were released on September 18, 1978. The marketing blitz behind the albums was unprecedented. Casablanca announced it was shipping five million total copies of the albums (guaranteeing instant platinum status), and they spent $2.5 million marketing them.[39] All four solo albums made it into the Top 50 of the Billboard album chart. All four solo albums sold about as many copies as Love Gun alone. Of the four, Frehley's album was the most successful (although not by a huge margin) and spawned the only radio top 20 hit (Russ Ballard's composition "New York Groove", originally performed by Hello).[40]
The second part of Kiss' and Aucoin's plan called for the band to appear in a film that would cement their image as larger than life superheroes. Filming commenced in the spring of 1978. Although the project was proposed to the band as a cross between A Hard Day's Night and Star Wars, the final results fell far short of those expectations. The script underwent numerous rewrites, and the band (particularly Criss and Frehley) grew increasingly frustrated with the filmmaking process.
The final product, entitled Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park, debuted on NBC on October 28, 1978. Despite scathing reviews, it was one of the highest-viewed TV films of the year. It was released theatrically, after many changes, outside the U.S. in 1979 under the title Attack of the Phantoms. While later interviews with band members would have them talk about their filmmaking experience with a mix of humorous embarrassment and regret as to the finished product, they were unhappy with the final product. They felt that the film ended up portraying them more as clowns than superheroes. The artistic failure of the film led to a rift between the band and Aucoin.[41] It has been only sporadically available on home video; currently, a version of the film is available on a compilation DVD entitled Kissology Volume Two: 1978–1991.
Late makeup years and decline (1978–83)[link]
Kiss' first album of new material in two years, Dynasty (May 22, 1979), continued their platinum streak. The disco-flavored "I Was Made for Lovin' You" became one of the band's biggest hit singles to date. Session drummer Anton Fig did almost all the percussion on the album while Criss recovered from an auto accident. Criss did play the drums on the song "Dirty Livin'", on which he also sang the lead.[42]
Billed as "The Return of Kiss," the Dynasty Tour was expected by Kiss and their management to build on the success of previous tours. Plans were drawn up for a Kiss-themed traveling amusement park, called "Kiss World", but were abandoned because of the immense costs involved.[43] However, "The Return of Kiss" saw a marked decline in attendance.[44]
The crowds on this tour were much younger than previous audiences had been, with many pre-adolescent children in Kiss makeup with their mothers and fathers (who were sometimes wearing the makeup themselves) in tow at most concerts. Kiss themselves did little to dissuade this new fan base, donning colorful costumes that reinforced a cartoonish image for these younger fans.[45]
The fans were unaware of the dissension within the band. One very public indication of the heightened friction within the group was an infamous October 31, 1979 interview on Tom Snyder's late-night The Tomorrow Show. During the episode, a visibly irritated Simmons and Stanley try to contain the bombastic (and inebriated) Frehley, whose non-stop laughter and joking overshadowed the content and conversation that takes place between Snyder and the rest of the band. Criss made repeated references to his large gun collection, to the chagrin of Simmons.[46]
By the end of the Dynasty tour in December 1979, tensions between Criss and the rest of the band were at an all-time high. His drumming skills had noticeably eroded, and he even intentionally slowed down or stopped playing altogether during some concerts. The final show of the tour (December 16, 1979) was the last time Criss performed with the group (until the original foursome reunited in 1996), although he remained an official member for nearly six more months.[47][48]
Fig also played all the drums on the next album Unmasked, although he was uncredited and Criss appeared on the cover art. Showcasing a slick, contemporary pop sound, Unmasked (May 20, 1980) had the dubious distinction of being the first Kiss album since Destroyer to fail to achieve platinum sales. Soon after the album's release, Criss's departure was officially announced.[49][50]
The band auditioned dozens of replacements for Criss in June 1980, settling on a little-known drummer-guitarist-singer from Brooklyn named Paul Caravello (born July 12, 1950), who was given the stage name Eric Carr. He was Kiss' first replacement member. In his "Fox" makeup, he was introduced on ABC's Kids Are People Too!, and debuted with the group on July 25, 1980 at the Palladium Theatre in New York City. This was Kiss's only U.S. show in support of the album. The band's 1980 tour of Australia and New Zealand, on the other hand, was one of the biggest in their history, as they played to sold-out crowds, and received overwhelmingly positive press coverage.[51][52]
For their next album, the band worked with producer Bob Ezrin, with whom Kiss had found success on Destroyer. Early press reports indicated that the new album would be a return to the hard rock style that had originally brought the band success. What was released instead was 1981's Music from "The Elder", a concept album featuring medieval horns, strings, harps, and synthesizers.[53]
The album was presented as a soundtrack to a film that was never made, making it difficult to follow the storyline. To make matters worse, having received negative feedback following their record company's preview of the album, Kiss altered the record's track sequence in most countries to emphasize potential singles "The Oath" and "A World Without Heroes," which all but guaranteed the inability of listeners to understand the already muddled storyline. Once released, fan reaction to The Elder was harsh; it failed to achieve gold status and peaked at number 75 on the Billboard Album Chart.[54]
The band made only two appearances in support of the new album, both in January 1982. One was a performance on the ABC late-night variety program Fridays, while the second was a lip-synched performance that was broadcast via satellite during Italy's Sanremo Music Festival.[55] Kiss also performed "I", and "A World Without Heroes" on Solid Gold.
Absent from the satellite performance was Frehley, who had become increasingly frustrated with Kiss' new musical direction. Upset with the band's decision to record Music from "The Elder", he did not actively participate in the album's creation, only providing lead vocals to one track, "Dark Light". He recorded his guitar parts at his home studio in Wilton, Connecticut and mailed them to Ezrin. Another source of frustration for Frehley was that with the departure of Criss, and with Carr not being an equal partner in the band, he was often outvoted 2-to-1 on group decisions. In June 1982, Frehley's departure from the band was negotiated, although he did not officially leave until December, and remained a business partner with Simmons and Stanley until 1985.
Simmons stated in his autobiography Kiss and Make-Up that Eddie Van Halen wanted to fill Frehley's spot. Simmons and Eddie's brother Alex convinced Eddie to remain with Van Halen.[56] (Eddie was anxious to break up Van Halen because of rising tensions with lead singer David Lee Roth, who left the band soon thereafter.)[57][58] Other notable musicians who auditioned for the band include Doug Aldrich of Whitesnake and ex-Dio,[59] Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi[60] and Yngwie Malmsteen.[61]
Soon after, Kiss made major changes to their business dealings – chief among them was severing ties with their manager of nine years, Bill Aucoin, and cutting back on their unwieldy organizational tree. Although Frehley had already decided to leave the band, he was pictured on the covers of 1982's Killers and Creatures of the Night, although he did not participate in the recording of either album.[62]
Creatures of the Night (October 13, 1982) was Kiss's heaviest album to date, and although it fared better than Music from "The Elder", it peaked at number 45 on the charts and was not certified gold until 1994. In Frehley's absence, Kiss utilized a number of guitarists for the recording of the album, including Vinnie Vincent (born Vincent John Cusano on August 6, 1952).
Frehley's last appearance with the band (until the original foursome reunited in 1996) was on the video for the single "I Love It Loud", which was co-written by Vincent. Frehley also appeared on the cover of the original Creatures of the Night album artwork. (When the album was re-mixed and re-released in 1985 with a non-makeup cover and a slightly different song order, to reflect the band's roster change and abandonment of their make-up and costuming, Vincent was again absent from the album cover, as then-current lead guitarist, Bruce Kulick, appeared there instead. The liner notes accompanying the re-mixed LP, however, have credited both Ace Frehley and Vinnie Vincent with lead guitar performances on the Creatures of the Night album.)
Vincent officially replaced Frehley as lead guitarist in December 1982, as the band embarked on its 10th Anniversary Tour.[63][64]
Vincent originally wanted to use his birth name in the band but this was vetoed by Gene Simmons on the grounds that it sounded "too ethnic": specifically, according to Simmons, "it sounded like a fruit vendor"; Simmons went on to note that "fairly or unfairly, rock and roll is about image".[65] Vincent then suggested the name "Mick Fury", but this was also disallowed. Simmons later suggested the name change to Vinnie Vincent. Vincent started actively pushing to join Kiss as a full member. Despite the misgivings that both Simmons and Stanley harbored about his personality, Vincent was taken into the band. Stanley designed a character, "The Wiz"[66][67] also known as "The Egyptian Warrior",[68] and makeup centered around an Egyptian ankh, for Vincent.[65] According to the official authorized Kiss biography, written by David Leaf and Ken Sharp, "The Egyptian Ankh Warrior" refers to Vincent's make-up and persona, while the nickname "The Wiz" refers to his virtuosity as a guitar player.[69] According to Gene Simmons's autobiography Kiss and Make-Up, Vincent's Kiss persona was solely "The Wiz". A persona as "The Ankh Warrior" or the like, is not mentioned in the book at all.[66][67]
From 1982–1983, the new lineup of Kiss became Simmons (the Demon), Stanley (the Starchild), Eric Carr (the Fox), and Vincent (The Egyptian Warrior[68] or the Wiz[66][67]). This incarnation of Kiss was to be the last incarnation of the original make-up era.
Vincent does appear on the cover of Lick It Up and was credited as the lead guitarist. He was co-writer on 8 of the 10 songs on the album; "Fits Like A Glove" and "Dance All Over Your Face" were written solely by Simmons.
Vincent's personality did not mesh well with either Stanley or Simmons, and he was dismissed from Kiss at the end of the Creatures tour. He was re-hired before recording started for Lick It Up because Simmons and Stanley could not find a new lead guitarist on such short notice. Personality issues arose once again and Vincent was fired following the Lick It Up tour and was replaced by Mark St. John (birth name Mark Norton). Vincent's work on Creatures of the Night was not officially recognized until the album was remastered in 1997.
Vincent was later utilized by Kiss as a songwriter on the 1992 album Revenge, contributing to the songs "Unholy", "Heart Of Chrome" and "I Just Wanna". Before long however, Vincent, Simmons and Stanley fell out with each other for a third time, and again severed their musical ties.
Persistent rumors have circulated for years amongst Kiss fan circles regarding the true reason for Vincent's dismissals from Kiss with at least one band member refusing to comment except to say that legally it wasn't up for discussion. Simmons stated in an interview several years later that Vincent's firing was for "unethical behavior" but he did not elaborate:
"I named Vincent Cusano, 'Vinnie Vincent'. That's the only gift he's allowed. It's interesting that Vinnie hasn't changed his name back to Vinnie Cusano. Vinnie, for the record, was fired for unethical behavior, not because of lack of talent. The guy is very talented. He was unethical. He was fired."[70]
Unmasking and rebound (1983–96)[link]
Sensing it was time for a change, Kiss made the decision to abandon their trademark makeup and costumes. They officially appeared in public without makeup for the first time on a September 18, 1983 appearance on MTV, which coincided with the release of the band's new album, Lick It Up.[71] The tour showing off the new album and the unmasked band members started off at Lisbon, Portugal, on October 11, 1983, at Pavilhão Dramático de Cascais, their first concert without makeup since early 1973.
Lick It Up became Kiss' first gold record in three years, but the tour was even more sparsely attended than the one for Creatures of the Night. Vincent did not get along with Simmons and Stanley, and he left the band at the conclusion of the tour in March 1984. Vincent's replacement was Mark St. John, a session player and guitar tutor.[72]
With St. John on board, Kiss released the glam metal album Animalize on September 13, 1984. Animalize followed the success of Lick It Up, and with the video for "Heaven's on Fire" being played often on MTV, Animalize was the band's best-selling record in America during the decade. With the success of the album and subsequent tour, Kiss had recaptured some of their earlier glory (though not to the level of their '70s heyday). St. John, however, was soon taken ill with reactive arthritis during tour rehearsals, and only performed at a handful of shows. St. John was relieved of his duties from Kiss in December 1984 and was replaced by Bruce Kulick (born December 12, 1953 in Brooklyn). Kulick was Kiss' fourth lead guitarist in less than three years, but he stayed with the band for 12 years.[73] Kulick was one of the band's longest-running members, with the longest continuous tenure of anyone other than Simmons and Stanley, but he never wore the band's iconic makeup.
One of the first concerts Kulick played was in Detroit, Michigan's Cobo Hall. It was filmed for the MTV special Animalize Live. This was later released as the band's first home video (Animalize Live Uncensored).
The lineup of Stanley, Simmons, Carr, and Kulick turned out to be the most stable since the original, and for the rest of the 1980s Kiss released a series of platinum albums—1985's Asylum, 1987's Crazy Nights and the 1988 greatest hits compilation Smashes, Thrashes & Hits. Crazy Nights, in particular, was one of Kiss' most successful albums overseas. The single "Crazy Crazy Nights" reached number four on the singles chart in Britain, the highest showing to date for a Kiss song.[74]
Kiss ended the '80s with the October 1989 release Hot in the Shade. Although the album failed to achieve platinum status, it spawned the February 1990 hit ballad "Forever", co-written by Michael Bolton. Peaking at number 8, it was the group's highest-charting single since "Beth" and was the band's second Top 10 single.[74]
During these non-makeup years, Kiss struggled with their identity and fan base. Simmons, arguably the dominating force in Kiss during the '70s, became less involved with the group in the '80s as he pursued outside interests; most notably, a film career. After the band's unmasking, he struggled with the loss of the Demon persona. During this time, Stanley became the driving force in Kiss, as well as their most prominent member.[75][76]
In February 1991, the band decided to once again enlist Bob Ezrin to produce their first album of the 1990s. Before recording could begin in earnest, however, tragedy struck. In March 1991, it was discovered that Eric Carr had a tumor on his heart. It was successfully removed in an April surgery, but more tumors were soon discovered in his lungs. Carr received chemotherapy and was pronounced cancer-free in July. However, in September he suffered the first of two cerebral hemorrhages. He died on November 24, 1991 at the age of 41 (the same day as Freddie Mercury).[77][78]
Though devastated, Kiss continued, bringing in veteran drummer Eric Singer (born Eric Mensinger on May 12, 1958 in Cleveland, Ohio). Singer had played with Paul Stanley previously, as part of Stanley's backing band during a 1989 solo tour. Singer also played with performers such as Black Sabbath, Gary Moore, Lita Ford, Badlands and Alice Cooper.
Kiss released Revenge on May 19, 1992. It featured a leaner, harder-edged sound, as indicated by the first single, "Unholy". In a surprise move, Kiss enlisted the aid of Vinnie Vincent for songwriting duties. The album debuted in the Top 10 and went gold. Kiss embarked on a brief club tour of the U.S. in the spring of 1992, before beginning an American arena tour in September 1992. Kiss followed with the release of Alive III (May 14, 1993), which was recorded during the Revenge tour. Four days later, Kiss were inducted into the RockWalk of Fame in Hollywood.[79]
During this period, Kiss nostalgia started to pick up steam. June 1994 saw the release of Kiss My Ass: Classic Kiss Regrooved, a compilation album featuring popular artists of the era putting their own spin on Kiss songs. The result was an eclectic mix, featuring Lenny Kravitz's funky version of "Deuce" (with Stevie Wonder on harmonica), a ska punk version of "Detroit Rock City" by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and Garth Brooks' straightforward take on "Hard Luck Woman," with Kiss as his backup band. In 1995, the group released the book Kisstory, a 440-page, 9 pounds (4.1 kg), detailed chronicle of the group's history to that point. That same year, the band embarked on a unique and well-received Worldwide Kiss Convention Tour. The conventions were all-day events, featuring displays of vintage Kiss stage outfits, instruments, and memorabilia, performances by Kiss cover bands, and dealers selling Kiss merchandise from every stage of the band's career. Kiss appeared live at the conventions, conducted question and answer sessions, signed autographs and performed a two-hour acoustic set composed mostly of spontaneous fan requests. On the first U.S. date (June 17, 1995), Peter Criss appeared onstage with Kiss to sing "Hard Luck Woman" and "Nothin' to Lose." It was the first time Criss had performed publicly with the band in nearly 16 years.[80][81]
On August 9, 1995, Kiss joined the long line of musicians to perform on MTV Unplugged. The band contacted Criss and Frehley and invited them to participate in the event. Both joined Kiss on stage for several songs at the end of the set–"Beth," "2000 Man," "Nothin' to Lose," and "Rock and Roll All Nite."[80] The Unplugged appearance set off months of speculation that a possible reunion of the original Kiss lineup was in the works. In the weeks following the Unplugged concert, however, the band (with Kulick and Singer), returned to the studio for the first time in three years to record a follow-up to Revenge. Carnival of Souls: The Final Sessions was completed in February 1996, but its release was delayed for almost two years. Bootleg copies of the album circulated widely among fans.[82]
While Kiss continued to exist publicly as Simmons, Stanley, Kulick, and Singer, arrangements for a reunion of the original lineup were in the works. These efforts culminated with a public event as dramatic as any the band had staged since their 1983 unmasking on MTV.
Reunion (1996–2001)[link]
You know how the Grammys used to be, all straight-looking folks with suits. Everybody looking tired. No surprises. We tired of that. We need something different ...something new... we need to shock the people... so let's shock the people!
— Tupac Shakur
With that statement on February 28, 1996, Tupac Shakur introduced the original Kiss lineup (in full makeup and Love Gun-era stage outfits), to a rousing ovation at the 38th Annual Grammy Awards.[83] On April 16, the band held a press conference aboard the USS Intrepid (CV-11) in New York, where they announced their plans for a full-fledged reunion tour, with the help of new manager Doc McGhee. The conference, emceed by Conan O'Brien, was simulcast to 58 countries. On April 20, nearly 40,000 tickets for the tour's first show sold out in 47 minutes.[84]
The first public concert featuring the newly reunited Kiss was an hour-long warm up show on June 15 for the annual KROQ Weenie Roast in Irvine, California, during which the band nearly ignited the stage of the Irvine Meadows Amphitheater.[85] On June 28, the Kiss Alive/Worldwide Tour began at Tiger Stadium in Detroit, Michigan in front of a sold-out crowd of 39,867 fans. The tour lasted for 192 shows over 11 months and earned $43.6 million, making Kiss the top-drawing concert act of 1996.[86] The average attendance of 13,737 is the highest in the group's history.[84]
In September 1998, the reunited group issued Psycho Circus. Despite their appearance as the first album with the original lineup since 1980s Unmasked (even though Criss didn't play on the album), the contributions of Frehley and Criss were minimal. While the images of Frehley and Criss are featured prominently on the album, most of the lead guitar work was later revealed to have been performed by future band member Tommy Thayer and former member Bruce Kulick. Most drum duties were handled by session musician Kevin Valentine. Despite the controversy, the album achieved a number 3 chart debut, the highest position for a Kiss album until Sonic Boom debuted at number two in 2009.[87] The title track received a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance.[88] The Psycho Circus Tour opened at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on Halloween night 1998, and was simulcast on FM radio across the U.S. It proved to be another success, and was historic for being the first to ever incorporate 3-D visuals into a stage show.[89][90]
On August 11, 1999, Kiss was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in the "Recording Industry" category. August 13 saw the nationwide premiere of a Kiss-themed motion picture, titled Detroit Rock City. The film takes place in 1978, and focuses on four teenagers (featuring Edward Furlong) willing to do anything to score tickets for a sold-out Kiss show in Detroit.
The next month, the group worked in collaboration with World Championship Wrestling to produce a Kiss-themed wrestler known as The Demon whose face was painted to resemble Simmons. The group performed God of Thunder live on WCW Monday Nitro to debut the character. The band got $500,000 for the one-night, one-song performance.[91] The character was short-lived, as all ties to Kiss were cut by WCW when its head, Eric Bischoff was relieved of his duties in September of that year.
Kiss announced in early 2000 that they would be launching a U.S. Farewell Tour in the summer, which was to be the band's last, although it was last for the original line up; the tour kicked off on March 12, 2000.[92] The group quickly added dates to the tour, which ran through April 2001. 2000 also saw the release of a computer game, Kiss: Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child, based on the comic book series Kiss: Psycho Circus from Todd McFarlane Productions.
Post-reunion (2001–08)[link]
On the eve of the Japanese and Australian leg of the Farewell Tour on January 31, 2001, Criss suddenly left the band once again, due to the fact that he and the band could not come to agreement with his contract salary. Taking his place was previous Kiss drummer Eric Singer who, in a move that was controversial among longtime fans, assumed Criss's Cat Man persona as the Farewell Tour continued.[93]
With the band scheduled to call it a day supposedly by early 2001, a career-encompassing collection entitled The Box Set (94 tracks on five CDs) was released in November of that year, while the summer saw perhaps the most outrageous item of Kiss merchandise yet – the Kiss Kasket. In introducing the Kiss Kasket, Simmons quipped, "I love livin', but this makes the alternative look pretty damn good."[94]
On December 4, 2001, Kiss was one of the honorees at the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences ("The Recording Academy") Heroes Award ceremony, at the NARAS New York Chapter. NARAS has 12 chapters throughout the United States, hence 12 ceremonies throughout the year, with the honorees each being honored by the chapter closest to their residence. By receiving this honor, which NARAS has renamed the "Recording Academy Honors," Kiss effectively received NARAS' second-highest career honor, right behind the Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award.[95][96]
Kiss was relatively quiet through the rest of the year, but 2002 started with some controversy as Simmons took part in a controversial interview on National Public Radio with host Terry Gross.[97] In February 2002, Kiss (with Singer on drums and Frehley on lead guitar) performed during the Closing Ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. This was Frehley's final performance with Kiss.
On March 6, 2002, Kiss performed a private concert at a resort in Trelawny, Jamaica. Frehley, who was no longer under contract, did not perform with the group. He was replaced by Tommy Thayer, who donned Frehley's Spaceman makeup and costume for his first live appearance with Kiss.[98] That month, the band (with Thayer) taped an appearance on the American sitcom That '70s Show.[99] The episode, "That '70s Kiss Show", aired in August 2002. Thayer again performed with the group in April 2002, when Kiss performed "Detroit Rock City" (with pre-recorded music and live vocals) for an appearance on Dick Clark's American Bandstand 50th Anniversary show, which aired on May 3.[100]
In February 2003, Kiss traveled to Australia and recorded Kiss Symphony: Alive IV with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at Etihad Stadium (then known as Telstra Dome) in Melbourne. Thayer once again replaced Frehley, while Peter Criss returned to the group. This album was the first released on Sanctuary Records, which has since been sold to Universal Music Group – owners of the rest of Kiss' catalog.
Despite claims made prior to the Farewell Tour that it would be the group's last, Kiss announced a co-headlining tour with Aerosmith in 2003. Frehley announced that his departure from the band was permanent, stating that he believed the Farewell Tour would be Kiss's last. (July 25, 2003). Infoplease. Retrieved April 17, 2006.</ref> and that he did not want to open for Aerosmith.[101] He was permanently replaced by Thayer, as Kiss moved into a post-reunion phase that saw the band easing into a new line-up, permanently featuring Thayer as "Space Ace" and Singer as "the Catman". On this tour, still featuring Peter Criss, the group introduced the "Platinum" tickets package, with the most expensive packages costing $1,000. This package included a seat in the first five rows, a meet-and-greet with Kiss after their performance, and a photograph with the band.[102] The tour earned more than $64 million in 2003, which ranked number seven for the year.[103]
Simmons and Stanley did not renew Criss' contract when it expired in March 2004. Criss, on his website, stated that "No one, again, no one has called me, or my attorney about an extension for future touring. As a founding member I find this to be disrespectful to me, and to the fans that have made us one of the biggest bands in the world."[104] Criss stated in a radio interview in 2004 with Eddie Trunk that Simmons and Stanley were going to start a new Kiss, and thought he was getting too old to play for two hours (even though Criss is only 4 years older than Simmons).
During the summer of 2004, Kiss headlined the Rock the Nation 2004 World Tour, with Poison as the opening act. The tour ended in August with a sold-out show in Mexico City. Selected dates on the tour were filmed for the Rock the Nation Live! concert DVD, released on December 13, 2005.[105] Stanley, who had been experiencing increasing difficulty with his hip, had his mobility limited during the tour. He has already had two hip surgeries performed, with more likely in the future.[106]
After the conclusion of the Rock the Nation Tour, Kiss performed only sporadically for a number of years. The group played two shows in 2005, and another six in 2006. Four of the 2006 shows were July concerts in Japan, including two dates (July 22 and 23) as a headlining act at the 2006 Udo Music Festival. Kiss performed four July 2007 concerts, three of which were dubbed the Hit 'N Run Tour. Prior to the final show on July 27, Stanley was hospitalized with an extremely rapid heartbeat. In his absence, Kiss performed in concert as a trio for the first time since 1982. This was the first Kiss concert Stanley had missed during his then 34-year tenure with the group.[107]
Kiss (along with Queen, Def Leppard, and Judas Priest) were honored at the inaugural "VH1 Rock Honors" event, held May 25, 2006 in Las Vegas. On April 9, 2006, The Associated Press announced the event by saying "the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame looks to be getting some competition."[108] A tribute band, consisting of Rob Zombie (vocals), Slash (guitar), Scott Ian (bass), and Supernova bandmates Tommy Lee (drums) and Gilby Clarke (guitar), performed "God of Thunder" with Ace Frehley.
In June 2006, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley attended the opening of the Kiss Coffeehouse in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. On October 15, 2006, Simmons, Stanley, and Criss were inaugural inductees into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame, along with performers such as Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, Louis Armstrong, The Ramones and Tony Bennett.[109]
Stanley released his second solo album, Live to Win, on October 24, 2006, and undertook a brief solo tour in support. On October 31 the same year, the group released Kissology Volume One: 1974–1977, the first of 10 possible DVD sets featuring complete concert footage, interviews, and never-before-seen clips.[110] As of January 2007, the set is certified 5X platinum in the United States.[111] A second volume was released on August 14, 2007. It was certified 6X Platinum by the R.I.A.A. on October 24.[112] What seemed to be the final entry, Kissology Volume Three: 1992–2000, was released on December 18, 2007 and has been certified 8X Platinum by the R.I.A.A.[113] Stanley insisted that there are more volumes forthcoming in an interview with Norwegian broadcasting in the summer of 2008, but no details have been given.
In April 2007, tragedy struck Kiss again. Their former guitarist, Mark St. John, died from an apparent cerebral hemorrhage at age 51.[114] After being fired from Kiss in 1984, St. John formed the short-lived glam metal group White Tiger. In 1990 he briefly collaborated with Peter Criss in a band called The Keep, which only performed once and released no recordings. St. John largely dropped out of public view in later years, but did make occasional appearances at Kiss fan conventions.
Though Kiss has been eligible for enshrinement in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (whose rules state that an act is eligible 25 years after its first release) since 1999/2000, they were not nominated until 2009. While this snub displeases some fans, Stanley and Simmons maintain that it is meaningless to them. Nevertheless, a group of about 200 Kiss fans held a protest rally in front of the Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio on August 5, 2006. It was the first known organized demonstration seeking the induction of a band into the Hall.[115] On December 15, 2009, it was announced that Kiss would not be among the Hall's 2010 inductees.
In 2007, a new comic book series featuring the band was released by the Kiss Comics Group in association with Platinum Studios. Entitled Kiss 4K: Legends Never Die, the first issue came out in a regular size and a giant 1.5' x 2.5' size, dubbed the Destroyer edition. Kiss were scheduled to play in Whistler in mid September, but the concert plans were cancelled late August because of passport problems.
Then, in 2008 saw the band picking up the pace, doing their first proper tour of Europe for nearly a decade. On January 30, 2008, guitarist and vocalist Paul Stanley confirmed that Kiss would launch the Kiss Alive/35 World Tour, playing arena and stadium shows in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. On March 16, 2008, Kiss closed the Formula 1 ING Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit – Melbourne, Australia as well as performing in Brisbane and Sydney as part of this tour. Kiss played at the Rock2Wgtn two-day festival held in Wellington, New Zealand on March 22 and 23, 2008; a festival which also featured Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, Poison, Alice Cooper, Lordi, Sonic Altar and Symphony of Screams with special effects provided by WETA Workshop of Lord of the Rings and King Kong fame.
Throughout the summer of 2008, Kiss headlined festivals as well as their own shows and played to a record audience of about 400 000 people.[116] As part of this tour Kiss headlined the Download Festival in Donington, England, on June 13. Three days later they headlined the Arrow Rock Festival in Nijmegen, Netherlands. On June 28, Kiss headlined the Graspop Metal Meeting in Dessel, Belgium. It was the last show in the European leg of the 'Alive 35' tour. Monday, Aug. 4, Kiss played at Rockin' The Rally at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally as part of the tour. South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds proclaimed August 4, 2008, to be "Kiss Rock and Roll Day" in South Dakota. In September 2008, both Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley confirmed rumors that the Kiss Alive/35 Tour would continue with a big tour of North America in the beginning of 2009, a big tour in South America, when Kiss played in April 5 in Argentina, April 7 and 8 in Brazil, April 14 in Peru (first Kiss show ever in Peru) and other concerts in Venezuela (first Kiss show ever in Venezuela) and Chile, in the mid-end of the 2009 year Kiss came back to North America to continue the Alive/35 tour, starting at July 18 in Halifax, NS.[117][118][119]
[edit] Sonic Boom and Monster (2008–present)
More than ten years after their last studio album, and following years of denials about ever wanting to do a new album, Stanley and Simmons changed their minds. In November 2008, Paul Stanley stated to rock photographer Ross Halfin that a new Kiss album was in the works. Stanley himself would be the producer, and the album would have a "real 70s Kiss sound" to it. Later that month, Simmons and Stanley both publicly confirmed the information about a new Kiss album.[116][120]
"We have 4 tunes recorded. If you're a fan of our stuff from about 1977, you'll feel right at home. All of us have taken up the songwriting call to arms in the same spirit we once did – without a care in the world and without outside writers. Nothing to prove to anyone. Just doing what comes naturally. Ignoring fashions, trends and with a personal vow from all of us: no rapping. There are plenty of people out there doing this and they don't need four palefaced guys pretending they're from the hood. Besides, I'm not sure how to correctly pronounce 'wassup.' See you all there...Or maybe later!"[116]
The band appeared on American Idol in May 2009 performing with Adam Lambert, singing "Detroit Rock City" and "Rock and Roll All Nite".[121]
In July 2009, Paul Stanley announced a release date of October 6, 2009 for the new album Sonic Boom.[122] It included a CD of new material, re-recorded versions of famous Kiss hits (previously released as Jigoku-Retsuden, a Japanese exclusive album in 2008) and a live DVD in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[123] "Modern Day Delilah" was announced and released as the lead single off of Sonic Boom on August 19, 2009 to radio. The song was Kiss' first single release in 11 years, the song's predecessor being "You Wanted the Best" which was released in 1998 off the band's Psycho Circus album. Due to early previews of the album, the song has gained positive feedback from both critics and fans, and has been compared to the band's '70s work.[124][125] In support of the new album, Kiss appeared live on Late Show with David Letterman on October 6, 2009 and on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on October 7, 2009. Sonic Boom debuted at Number 2 on the Billboard 200, selling 108,000 copies in its first week of release.
On September 25, 2009, the Kiss Alive/35 North American Tour kicked off at Cobo Hall in Detroit, MI; both nights were filmed for future DVD release. These were the band's final performances there, as the venue was scheduled to be closed, however it is still holding events to this day (such as the Carnage Tour with Slayer & Megadeth, in August 2010). The tour was originally scheduled to conclude on December 6, 2009, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX, however, several additional shows have been added and the last performance is now scheduled for December 15 in Sault Ste. Marie.[126]
Kiss headlined Voodoo Fest 2009 held at City Park in New Orleans, Louisiana on Halloween Night.[127]
During their performance at the MTS Centre on November 9, 2009 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, one of the lighting trusses caught on fire from a pyro cue. The truss had to be lowered in order to have the fire put out. During the five or so minutes it took to extinguish the fire, the band broke into the song "Firehouse". No one was hurt and the show continued on.[128]
Kiss started the European leg of the Sonic Boom Over Europe Tour in May 2010. Tragedy struck Kiss for a third time, when their former manager Bill Aucoin died of cancer on June 28, 2010 at the age of 66. Stanley and Simmons said he was like the fifth member of Kiss. The tour included their first UK arena shows in 11 years and their first visit to Slovakia. Kiss later played at two dates in US cities Cheyenne, Wyoming and The North Dakota State Fair in Minot, North Dakota in July 2010. They also played at the Indiana state fair in August and the Minnesota State Fair in September. They also made a brief appearance at S.P.A.C. (Saratoga Performing Arts Center) in Saratoga, New York on August 17, 2010. On July 23, Kiss started The Hottest Show on Earth Tour in the United States. The tour saw the band play numerous shows throughout the US, Canada and Mexico.
On April 13, 2011, Kiss began recording a new album due for release later in the year.[129] Gene Simmons stated, the album "is gonna be the next step to Sonic Boom. Very similar — straight rock songs, no ballads, no keyboards, no nothing, just rock."[129] The band also went to use old analog equipment instead of a more popular digital recording gear. Gene Simmons said about it: "Technology is a seductive bitch, she will seduce you. You press this button, you don't have to do anything. But analog is the love of your life. You can push real hard and it always gives back. For the new album, the actual recording process was 24-track tape and an old Trident board. And as many tubes as possible. You need tubes, electricity and thick wood to make that thick sound."[130]
In March 2011, while visiting Israel, Simmons announced that he had plans to bring Kiss to Israel.[131] In May 2011, Kiss announced the first ever KISS Kruise to set sail in October 2011.[132] The cruise will feature many activities such as the Kiss Halloween Party, Kiss Q&A on the Lido Deck and two Kiss shows (one of which is an acoustic show with no make-up), along with other artists.
Kiss spent the summer of 2011 playing venues in the US and Canada, visiting cities to which they have not been in a while. They have dubbed this the "Lost Cities Tour." According to www.kissonline.com, the tour ended in Verona, New York.[133]
On August 21, 2011, it was announced on the Kiss website that the next album would be called Monster.[134] Monster was originally slated for release in fall 2011, but was then delayed until January 2012, and later delayed again for a June 2012 release.
The band organized a "KISS Kruise" onboard a cruise ship from October 13–17, 2011. The show involved acoustic sets as well as other activities. Over 5 days the cruise began in Miami, Florida and ended in Half Moon Cay. The band also announced a 2012 KISS Kruise was in the works.
Before hitting the red carpet at the 2011 American Music Awards, Gene Simmons revealed that KISS' forthcoming album Monster will include 15 brand new songs, all studio written by the band. Together with the album a 4 foot high book and a 10 hour DVD will be out in June 2012. The recording process of Monster was officially completed on January 6, 2012.
KISS appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on March 20. A press conference was held on the same day to announce the summer tour called The Tour which will take place in North America and will be co-headlined with Mötley Crüe, starting on July 20.
Following the conclusion of The Tour, KISS will then embark on a full-fledged worldwide tour in support of Monster.
Musical style[link]
They have been classed under the genre of "hard rock".[135] Most of their '70s records, specifically from '74 to '77, is a blend of hard rock, rock n' roll, and the catchy melodies that characterized power pop. They also experimented in the disco (Dynasty), pop rock (Unmasked), symphonic rock/progressive rock (Music from "The Elder") styles. In the '80s, with the unmasking, they came as a glam metal act. Later, in the early '90s, their sound grew heavier, culminating with the grunge record (Carnival of Souls: The Final Sessions).
Their music is described by Allmusic as "a commercially potent mix of anthemic, fist-pounding hard rock, driven by sleek hooks and ballads powered by loud guitars, cloying melodies, and sweeping strings. It was a sound that laid the groundwork for both arena rock and the pop-metal that dominated rock in the late '80s."[136] Its first critical review described Kiss as "an American Black Sabbath" in Rolling Stone.[137] "With twin guitars hammering out catchy mondo-distorto riffs and bass and drums amiably bringing up the rear," said RS of Hotter Than Hell, "Kiss spews forth a deceptively controlled type of thunderous hysteria, closely akin to the sound once popularized by the German Panzer tank division."[138] At the same time, Bennington Banner from Rock Music magazine said, "with its members bizarre, Kabuki-like makeup, studded black leather costumes and arsenal of on-stage firepower – both musical and literal – Kiss represents the most extreme form of hard rock in 1974."[139]
