We got a 747 coming down in the night
There's no power, there's no runway lights
Radio operator try to get a message through
Tell the flight deck New York has no lights
There's no power, what do we do
A 747 coming down in the night
Try to get a message through
We were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Stangers in the night
Going nowhere
We were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Stangers in the night
Going nowhere
This is Scandinavian 101
Flight from Hawaii coming out of the sun
Kennedy, you should be in sight
We can't see a thing here in the night
Navigator says we're on the flight path
There's no radio, no sign of life
This is Sandinavian 101
For Gods sake get the ground lights on
'Cause we were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
We were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
There's a 747 goin' into the night
There's no power they don't know why
They've no fuel they gotta land soon
They can't land by the light of the moon
They're overshooting there's no guiding lights
Set a course into the night
Scandanavian 101
For Gods sake get your ground lights on
We were strangers in the night
Lost on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
We were strangers in the night
Lost on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
Strangers in the night
We were strangers in the night
Strangers in the night
We were strangers in the night
Strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
We were strangers in the night
Flight 101
Working in a drug store
Slaving on it nine to five
Waiting for the weekend
That's when she comes alive
You've got me coming like a freight train (*)
You took my heart away
Now I'm hooked on you
You got to get down
Get down and dirty
You got to get down
Get down and dirty
Walking down the sidewalk
Making all the schoolboys stare
Red skirt and long legs
And looking like she don't even care
(Repeat *)
Far below the valleys
Hidden deep beneath the snow
There's a man who guards the secret
Of the frozen rainbow
...of all the ages
Lies hidden neath the ice
The man who finds the secret
Holds the power of life
Far below the valleys
Hidden deep beneath the snow
There's a man who's got a secret
Waiting to be told
I've searched through all the ages
To find the hidden truth
The secret of the rainbow
Will never be revealed
I'll find the rainbow, frozen rainbow
I'll find the rainbow, frozen rainbow

Look here, my friends, I've got to tell you (*)
The world is out, the world is out
Trouble's coming, peace is over
The king has hung the militia guard
(Repeat *)
The kings men ran out in the light
To fight their foe was a waste of human life
And then they raised their fists
Against the crushing might
Encased the kings men sword
Into their...
Children crying for their mothers
How are they to know they died
There'll be no help...
We're fighting to be free and...
The king will regret one day
And that's not far away
The day he hung the militia guard
You're driving me crazy
You're out of control
You're breaking all the rules
Sneaking out your back door
You're nothing but a wild child
Running round in town
'Cause if this is hell
Then I'm going down
Somebody call for emergency (*)
Somebody rescue me
I'm on fire (**)
I'm on fire
Somebody rescue me
I'm on fire
My temperature's rising
A hundred and four
You're looking too hot
I'm standing in a heat wave
You're nothing but a sex-show
You're making me yearn
You're taking me down baby
And I'm gonna burn
(Repeat * and **)
Take me where the eagles fly
Let me drive along the open road
Break away the chains that bind you
Now you're free to make it your own
Feel the engines burning hot
Pounding out the sound
A free man proud
Forever free, riding with the wind in your hair (*)
Forever free, forever free
Take me where the four winds blow
Let me see the magic in your eyes
Just take the shackles from your soul
Imagination soaring to the skies
Journey to the rainbow's end
Searching for the freedom in your heart
(Repeat *)
Take me to the open plains
Let me drive along the desert road
Break away the chains that blind you
Now you're free to make it on your own
Feel the engines burning hot
Pounding out the sound
A free man proud
(Repeat *)

A city divided
The West and the East
Tear down the walls
Give them release
People are marching
They're out in the streets
Shouting for freedom
Shouting for peace
How many more children
Must die on the wall
They'll never be free
Until the bell tollsThe toll of the bell
Is Liberty's song
A city united
Is where they belong
A push of the button
And everything's gone
Total destruction
Comes with the bomb
How many more children
Must die on the wall
They'll never be free
Until the bell tolls
How many more children
Must die on the wall
They'll never be free
Out with the boys
Testing my virility
The booze and the music
Arrousing my curiousity
I moved in beside her
Asked her to rock and roll with me
Cause I have her classed
My eyes roam lecherously
Lecherously, lecherously, lecherously
She's a big teaser (Repeat)
I only see her
Very occasionally
She's leading me on
She's living dangerously
It's easy to see
She's making a fool out of me
Oh but I ain't no fool
I'll get her eventually
Eventually, eventually, eventually
She's a big teaser (Repeat)
Did you take me for a fool I don't think so
Did you think that you could see it in my eyes
You bled me like a stone and left me nothing
But you're the one that's luring with the lies
Up down turn around you're driving me insane
In out there's no doubt you're the loser in the end
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, till it's gone
Maybe you can think of some invention
To make me see you in a different light
But it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference
Even if you found a second sight
Up down turn around you're driving me insane
In out there's no doubt you're the loser in the end
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, till it's gone
Give me one good reason why I should believe you
I lost my faith in you and that's no lie
You're heading for a final retribution
I think it's time we said our last goodbye
You left me standing here staring at the view
Did you think that I was coming after you
I might have been that dumb a hundred times before
You can take your stinking attitude and shove it out the door
Shove it out the door
I'm tired of your lying and fooling around (*)
You've pushed me too far I'm standing my ground
I've got news for you baby yesterday's gone
Yesterday's gone
I can't believe that you would put me down this way
There's not a word of thruth in anything you say
I gave you everything and you threw it in my face
You're running on your own now baby, see who wins the race
See who wins the race
(Repeat *)
I saw you yestersday out with someone new
You've got him on your hook dancing to your tune
Do you think of me when he's in your bed
If you think I'm coming back to you you're off your pretty head
Off your pretty head

Life keeps kicking you down
But you come back for more
You take all the knocks
Pick yourself up off the floor
Everyone's looking for someone
To hold in the night
Believe in yourself, stand tall
And take up the fight
We are strong
We will survive
We are strong
We will survive
Somebody gets all the breaks
But it's never you
Maybe today is the day
You'll pull through
Everyone's chasing their dream
At the end of the rainbow
You gotta follow your heart
That's where you have to goWe are strong
We will survive
We are strong
We will survive
Battered and torn
Ride out the storm
Break through the clouds of night
And head on home
Life keeps kicking you down
But you come back for more
You take all the knocks
Pick yourself up off the floor
Everyone's looking for someone
To hold in the night
Believe in yourself, stand tall
And take up the fight
We are strong
We will survive
We are strong
We will survive

Have you ever had the feeling
Someone's watching you
Listening to everything you say
Satellite surveilance
Creeping high above us all
Watching every little thing you do
'Cause they're watching you
They're watching me
Invasion of your privacy
There is no place really left to hide
Everything's in view
Can you see the writings on the wall
We live inside a fish eye lense
There's nothing they can't see
Can you feel them staring in at you (yeah)
They're watching you
They're watching me
Invasion of your privacy
They're watching you
They're watching me
Invasion of your privacy
(Come on)
There's a lens on every corner
No one hides from view
Who's behind the camera
No one has a clue
Are we getting paranoid
Or is it really true
Is the camera zooming in on cue
Take the shot, roll the film
There's nothing more to say
It does no good we'll never get away (yeah)
They're watching you
They're watching me
Invasion of your privacy
They're watching you
They're watching me
Invasion of your privacy
They're watching you
They're watching me
Invasion of your privacy
Watching you
They're watching me
They're watching you
They're watching me
They're watching you
Watching you
Chorus
Walking through Tokyo
Visions of the Samurai
Walking through Tokyo
Looking through the dragon¹s eye
I had a dream about the mighty shogun
Faded visions of the Samurai
Mist of silk reflections of the city
Dance across the silver blade
Silent temples driving my emotions
Voices whisper from another time
Mystic dreams stretching out before me
Take me through the dragon¹s eye
Chorus
I¹m drifting slowly on the winds of Kamikaze
To the emperor on wings of gold
Cryptic lessons from a long forgotten city
Guard the passage to the inner soul
Sacred pountains reaching to the heavens
Holds the secret in its frozen hand
Standing proud silent and majestic
Cast its spell far across the land
Chorus
Guitar solo
In my dream I can see the darkness
Draws the veil across the painted sky
As the Geisha gives on dying pleasure
I leave the magic in the land of jade
We're on a one way street
Going down the wrong way
We're trying to swim upstream
Against the raging tide
We're on an uphill climb
Right into the headwind
We're standing on thin ice
Fighting for our lives
It's been a hard road
And we're never going back
Till hell freezes over
Till hell freezes over
We're on a crazy ride
Going where the wind blows
We're on the crumbling edge
Waiting for the fall
We're trying to keep it cool
Walking on a tight rope
We're hanging on thin thread
Trying to survive
It's been a hard road
And we're never going back
Till hell freezes over
Till hell freezes over

Holy fire, holy water
Anoint the faithful break the sacred bread

Friday night, I feel all right (*)
I get into my leathers
And I get out on my bike
There's thunder in my ears
It's blasting down...
Kickin' up brick
I don't give a shit
I got the wind in my hair
You know I don't even care
Stallions of the highway
Switchblade's gleamin'
Engine screamin'
I'm laughin' at fate
I'm living to hate
My needle is showing red
I'm ridin' with the dead
Get out of my way
I'm a stallion of the highway
I got the wind in my hair
I don't even care
I broke out of my shell
I'm on a daydream from hell
Don't shed no tears
I been here fifteen years
(Repeat *)
My needle is showing red
I'm ridin' with the dead
Get out of my way
I got the wind in my hair
I don't even care
Stallions of the highway
Of the highway
In a desert valley
Near the Rio Grande
Through the sun baked wasteland
Cross the burning sand
On the edge of nowhere
In a hidden place
They were looking for the answer
To the power of the sun
From out of the sky came the burning death
Could anyone foresee
The raging terror coming from above
To erase humanity
In a blinding flash came the fireball
Melting skin and bone
It was a mighty city just blown away
Like dust before a storm
There is no city
There are no people
There's only shadows on the wall
Where is the city
Where are the people
There's only shadows on the wall
Children were playing in Los Alamos
Nuclear fusion critical mass
Start a chain reaction
Build the doomsday toy
Split the tiny atom
Your littly boy
There is no city
There are no people
There's only shadows on the wall
Where is the city
Where are the people
There's only shadows on the wall
It was a clear blue morning
On the fatefull day
Silver wings of destruction
The enola gay
Unleash the awesome power
Release it from it's cage
Opening the doorway
To the nuclear age
There is no city
There are no people
There's only shadows on the wall
Where is the city
Where are the people
There's only shadows on the wall

Gagged, balled and chained
Feels just the same
Hands on the wall
Maybe you're just playin' games
Set me free
Mauled by a hound
Hangin' around
Is this for real
I don't know when I'll be found
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free from you
Taken by force
By you of course
Far from my bed
I know I'd rather be dead
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free from you
Fire in my brain
Burn me insane
Making your mark
Don't leave me here in the dark
Set me free
Call me a Saint
That's what I ain't
Inside my head
Maybe I'd feel better dead
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free from you
Set me free

We were standing at the border
Waiting for the man to come
We didn't have a problem
Till he invented one
He said take it easy, take it slow
No one moves
Till I say so
Running for the border
Down in Mexico
We made it to Chihuahua
With the setting sun
The fans were going crazy
Everyone had fun
He said take it easy, take it slow
We've got all day
We'll make the show
Running for the border
Down in Mexico
We met the Federales
They wouldn't go away
So we gave them lots of money
It was all our fuckin' pay
They said take it easy, take it slow
No one moves
Till I say so
Running for the border
Down in Mexico
(P.Byford P.Quinn P.Johnson)
We were on the Russian border
When the news began to break
Of a nuclear reactor melting down
Sending deadly clouds of dust
Into the atmosphere
Falling down like rain on the ground
We were laying in the sun
Listening to the radio
When someone said you'd better get inside
We didn't know how serious
The situation was
That many people to the North had died
Red alert, red alert
Screaming in my head
There is something I'm not sure of
Going down
Red alert, red alert
Screaming in the night
That fallout seems to follow me around
We made our way to Hungary
Got ready for the storm
Thinking we were safe there
From the storm
But the deadly cloud was high above
Taken by the wind
Spreading like a plague across the land
A threat you couldn't see
Nothing you could feel
But something evil floating in the airLook towards the East
The danger yet to come
For the Earth
We make a silent prayer
Red alert, red alert
Screaming in my head
There is something I'm not sure of
Going down
Red alert, red alert
Screaming in the night
That fallout seems to follow me around
We were on the Russian border
When the news began to break
Of a nuclear reactor melting down
Red alert, red alert
Screaming in my head
There is something I'm not sure of
Going down
Red alert, red alert
Screaming in the night
That fallout seems to follow me around
We stand here together
Fearless and proud
Raise up your voices
Let the music be loud
There's nothing between us
We stand here as one
The waiting is over, your time has come
Raise up your hands into the light
We stand together 'cause rock is our life
Lift up your voices into the night
We stand together 'cause rock is our life
Rocking together
Into the night
Denim and leather
The feeling is right
Will you be standing
When the music is done
The waiting is over, you time has come
Raise up your hands into the light
We stand together 'cause rock is our life
Lift up your voices into the night
We stand together 'cause rock is our life
Voices together
This is your song
Here is the spirit
Where we all belong
When we stand together
The bands will play on
We've been a long time comin'
But we're here at last
You want it, we got it
You want it, we got it
Drive time, prime time
You're time, my time
You better get ready, ready to rock
(rock city, rock city)
DJ, VJ
Radio, Video
Crank it up Mama, the time is right
(rock city, rock city)
AM, FM
It's your choice
Looking for the rockshow, make some noise
(rock city, rock city)
Play some crazy rock 'n' roll
Don't stop now, just give me more
You want it, we got it
You want it, we got it
Nightlife, streetlife
My life, your life
Rockin' the airwaves, all night long
(rock city, rock city)
Hi-fi, Sci-fi
Hear my words
We've been a long time coming
But we're here at last
(rock city, rock city)
Dream out, scream out
Jam out, rock out
I hear the guitars screaming in my head
(rock city, rock city)
Play some crazy rock 'n' roll
Don't stop now, just give me more
You want it, we got it
Rock City
You want it, we got it
White line fever, takes me high
Another city, another lie
Another town, another face
Another woman to take your place
Catch the bullet, ride the storm
Drive me crazy 'till the dawn
Like an eagle flying high
Look for freedom in the sky
She's a rock 'n' roll gipsy (*)
Don't go breaking my heart
She's a rock 'n' roll gipsy
She's gonna tear me apart
Rolling thunder, moving on
Another time, another song
Another room, another night
Another dream, another fight
Keep on moving down the line
Gipsy woman on my mind
Ask no questions, tell no lies
See the answers in my eyes
(Repeat *)

It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the run
No time for sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again
I was born the son
Of a lawless man
Always spoke my mind
With a gun in my hand
Lived nine lives
Gunned down ten
Gonna ride like the wind
And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
Accused and tried and
Told to hang
I was nowhere in sight
When the church bells rang
Never was the kind
To do as I was told
Gonna ride like the wind
Before I get oldAnd I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the run
No time for sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again
And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

I'm a soldier of fortune I'm trained and I'm ready to kill
Put me to battle I'll follow the sound of the gun
Give me an order, command me I'll fire at will I've got no emotions I'm living
with thunder and steel
I don't hear your lies all I hear are your battle cries
I'm a soldier of fortune I'm trained and I'm ready to die To the power and the
glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight A cold death awaits me tonight if I stumble or fall
My friends lay around me their bodies all tattered and torn
But mine is not to reason why, mine is just to do or die To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight Can you feel the power
Can you feel the glory
Can you feel the power
Can you feel the glory
Can you feel the power
Is it with you tonight I'm fighting for freedom, I'm safe, I've got God on my side
What price in life can you justify your battle hymn
The General says we'll will win the war, just sacrificed a thousand more To the
power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Tonight, yaya
Come on everybody
Tonight it's party time
Grab a bottle or a crate
Leave your blues behind
You're gonna need the cavalry
To get you outta here
The last time that we had one
It lasted for a year
We're gonna party (*)
Party til u puke
Don't worry about the neighbours
They're blind drunk in the loo
There'll be no trouble from the police
'Cos they're all in here too
We got the music cranked right up
It's blowing off the roof
There's people drinking gasoline
It must be two hundred proof
(Repeat *)
Cry for the children
Sons and daughters left behind
They walk alone, down the trail of tears
Full of heartache, full of fear
You stand with open arms
Waiting for the fall
But who'll be there to help you
When you're back's against the wall
You'll be sailing home before the storm (*)
Through the night into the dawn
On the wind, I hear your voice calling
Sailing home before the storm
Why, cry the people
Give me shelter from the storm
They take the road
Across the bridge of sighs
No more heartache the other side
You stand with open arms
You scream into the night
But who'll be there beside you
Can you see the end in sight
(Repeat *)
Just another kid in the firing line
Up against the wall running out of time
Makes no difference what you do
That poisons taking hold of you
No warning, there's danger (*)
This pain is no stranger
You're falling
I hear you calling
Desperation is just one step away
Just another girl with the crying eyes
Up against the odds running out of lies
Makes no difference where she goes
That poison drags her down below
(Repeat *)
Just another day like the one before
Living on the streets running from the law
Makes no difference what you said
That poison's got you in it's web
(Repeat *)
Lady face the morning sun
The sunlight in your hair
Northern Lady, you're the one
Why do you mean so much to me
I need you every night
Northern Lady, you're the one
If you need me, I'll be there
I'll fly right back to you
Northern Lady, you're the one
Will you use your head tonight
And come into my room
Northern Lady, you're the one
You're the one
Lady face the morning sun
The sunlight in your hair
Northern Lady, you're the one
Creeping after midnight, shadows on the wall
Something in the darkness, hear the footsteps fall
Faces at the window, creatures of the night
Seeking out a victim, somewhere out of sight
Coming out of nowhere, preying on our fear (*)
If you want to stay alive, then keep away from here
Midnight, creeping, shadows, nighthunter
Mist across the forest, the baying of the pack
Hunters in the twilight, never turn their back
When the full moon rises, the chill is in the air
Keep your children safe tonight, the wolf has left his lair
(Repeat *)
Sooner or later we¹ll meet the maker
It doesn¹t matter to me
Cos I¹ll be laughing while I¹m packing
They¹ll have to drag me away
I¹ve been around I¹ve been inside out
I¹ve seen it all before
I¹ve had my share of lady luck
Knocking at my door
Chorus
I¹d give it all away
I¹d give it all away
Just for one more day
One more day with you
If you ever see the devil
You gotta tell him from me
I got an angel a little angel
Living right here with me
I¹ve been across and I¹ve been to the edge
I¹ve seen it all before
I¹ve had my share of lady luck
Knocking at my door

I don't want you to be my slave
I don't want you to work all day
I don't want you to be sad and blue
'Cos I just wanna make love to you
I don't want you to drive my car
I don't want you to go too far
I don't want you to be true
'Cos I just wanna make love to you
I can tell by the way that you switch and walk
I can tell by the way that you treat your man
I can't love you baby it's a crying shame
I don't want you to be true
I don't want you to be blue
I don't want you to make no sacrifice
I just wanna make love to you
My father used to work the seam far below the ground
Digging for the coal to melt the steel
But now he lies a twisted man one foot in the grave
Just like the iron wheels that took him down
Just like the iron wheels that took him down
He used to be the fisherman that sailed the mighty sea
Searching for the harvest from the deep
But now the fleets are rusting hulks anchored at the quay
Just like the iron wheels that took him down
Just like the iron wheels that took him down
He used to be the farming man standing tall and proud
Working on the land to sow the seed
But now the buildings stand in shame rotting on the land
Just like the iron wheels that took him down
Just like the iron wheels that took him down

Listen now, heed the warning
Can't you hear the planet's cries
With the storm comes the fury
Mankind looks towards the sky
Burn the wheat (*)
Feed the fire
On the wind
Rising higher
There's a hole in the sky
Are we blind
Hole in the sky
Can't you see
Come the sun, come the wind
Ultraviolet radiation
Bring the flood from the sea
Breaking down communication
(Repeat *)
Listen now, heed the warning
Bring the land to devastation
Come the thunder, come the rain
See the end of all creation
(Repeat *)
If you're taking a bite (*)
At the speed of light
You're shaking your heads to the band
There's a dare on your horse
But you're not on the force
We're taking this think to the ground
In the heat of the night (**)
When you're fists are alight
Touching temples of steel
And your body's on fire
About to expire
But you don't feel the pressure of pain
Pull your head back (***)
Hold your hands high
Shake your body
And it's too loud
And you put them up fill your heads
With heavy metal thunder
Heavy metal thunder
On the wings of an eagle (****)
You're hoping to fly
Holding your hands to the sky
On a blue sea of venom
You turn to the band with
Your banners and skirts blowing high
If you think something more (*****)
You'll come down to the front
Then you'll do as they say
Where an army of cars
Are surrounded by lights
Turning my face to the ground
Nobody stands in our way
(Repeat *** twice)
(Repeat *)
(Repeat **)
(Repeat ***)
(Repeat ****)
(Repeat *****)
Get on top, keep it up (*)
Don't let them ever grind you down
Up down, turn around, give a little more
Inside, outside, knocking on my door
I don't need no preacher man telling me what to do
All I want is to live my life, the rest is up to you
(Repeat *)
Prime time, my time, take it on the run
Place your bets, get set, have yourself some fun
Look into my crystal ball, I'll tell you what's in store
Another rich man getting fat, taking from the poor
(Repeat *)
Come on down, hang around, feel like number one
Pump and grind, stand in line, the show has just begun
Don't be fooled by what you see, nothing's ever free
Everyone must pay the price, they're just like you and me
(Repeat *)
Instrumental
Give it everything you got
Just another kid waiting for a break
Is just bad news
Everybody's working 9 to 5
You got to pay your dues
But listen to your heart
Don't let them take away your time
Forget about tomorrow
Stop waiting for a sign
Ya gotta give it everything, kid
Give it everything you got
Ya gotta give it everything
Give it everything you got (everything you got)
Can you hear the whistle blowin' in the night
Somewhere down the line
It's calling out your name, baby
Leave you blues behind
If you wanna take a chance
Step right up and ring the bell
Let me see your best shot
Only time will tell
Ya gotta give it everything
Give it everything you got
Ya gotta give it everything, baby
Give it everything you got (everything you got)
Just another kid waiting for a break
Is just bad news
Everybody's working 9 to 5
You got to pay your dues
But listen to your heart
Don't let them take away your time
Forget about tomorrow
Stop waiting for a sign
Ya gotta give it everything, kid
Give it everything you got
Ya gotta give it everything
Give it everything you got
Ya gotta give it everything
Give it everything you got
Ya gotta give it everything, baby
Give it everything you got
Crashing through the raging sea flagship og the line
Comander of the English fleet the greatsest of her time
Searching the horizon a thousand leagues or more
Mighty winds will carry you onto bloody war
Chorus:
Let the four winds blow
the tempest come
Let the seas run high
'Till the battle's won

Six Thousand yards of sail flies onto liberty
Call to arms man the deck soon the guns will toll
Ram the ball and load the shot the fight will take its toll
Chorus:
Let the four winds blow
the tempest come
Let the seas run high
'Till the battle's won
Let the Cannons roar

Ripping through the flesh and bone ships's company stand fast
The battle raged on through the night falgship of the line
Bathed in pride and glory the greatest of her time
Chorus:
Let the four winds blow

I gave you my love
But you threw it straight back in my face
I should have known better
You're just perfume and lace
You're messing around
You're making a fool out of me
But I've had enough baby
I'm setting you free
But I gave you all the chances (*)
I gave you all the signs
Now who's the lonely one
Were you just a waste of time
Empty promises
I remember the days
When it used to be good
We were always together
We both understood
But something went wrong
White turned to black
So I'm leaving you baby
I ain't coming back
(Repeat *)

In the land of Gorron
Far across the sea
We'll journey there upon the wings of fire
Through the mystic portal
To find the ancient one
The quest to find the dragon's lair is mine Over the mountains
Far 'cross the sea
Follow the legend
Into the dragon's lair
The dragon's lair The gateway to his kingdom
Lies through the cave of dreams
There before us waits the dragon king
In halls of golden splendor
Bathed in blood red fire
The mystery of ages lies within Over the mountains
Far 'cross the sea
We'll follow the legend
Into the dragon's lair
The dragon's lair Now we stand before him
The last one of his time
To seek the ancient knowledge of the kind
He gives up words of wisdom
In a strange forgotten tongue
Tales of knights and wizards lost in time Over the mountains
Far 'cross the sea
We'll follow the legend
Into the dragon's lair
The dragon's lair
Dragon's lair
Dragon's lair
Dragon's lair
In the land of Gorron
Far across the Sea
We'll journey there upon the wings of fire
Through the mystic portal
To find the ancient one
The quest to find the dragons lair is mine
Over the mountains

There before us waits the Dragon King
In halls of golden splendor

To seek the ancient knowledge of kind

Where were you in '79 when the dam began to burst
Did you check us out down at the local show
Were you wearing denim, wearing leather
Did you run down to the front
Did you queue for your ticket through the ice and snow Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free Did you read the music paper from the back and
to the front
Did you find out where to see your favorite band
Did you listen to the radio every Friday night
Did hang around your local record store Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free Do you dream of playing guitar or smashing up
the drums
Maybe you can learn to play the bass
You can always be a singer like me and front the band
When on the stage we wait at your command Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free It was you - that set the spirit free
It was you - that put us here today
It was you - that filled the concert halls
It was you - that set the spirit free Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free (Repeat to end)
I¹ve been working all day down on demolition alley
Looking down the barrel of a twelve gauge gun
Digging up rocks in this God forsaken valley
Breaking my back in the mid day sun
Chorus
I served my time I lost my wind
On demolition alley
Demolition alley
Days go by but it feels like a lifetime
Dragging me down like a ball and chain
Doing my time just walking in a straight line
It¹s the only thing I know just to handle my painChorus
Guitar solo
One of these days I¹m just gonna have to break free
Taking my chances living on the run
There¹s only one man that can ever really stop me
He¹s looking down the barrel of that twelve gauge gun
Chorus
Guitar solo
People say we're crazy but where's their sense of fun
Take it to the limit, fly into the sun
I'm doing fine
Up on cloud nine
Flying into battle, target on the ground
Screaming out of nowhere, at twice the speed of sound
I'm doing fine
Up on cloud nine
Now gather round you sinners, listen to my song (*)
About the time we raised some hell down in Babylon
I'm a warrior from the skies and you're about to die
So put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye
I'm doing fine
Up on cloud nine
Taste the danger out there supersonic run
Loving every minute, let the hostiles come
I'm doing fine
Up on cloud nine
Racing through the canyons, show no signs of fear
Static on the airwaves, forget the landing gear
I'm doing fine
Up on cloud nine
(Repeat *)
Sonic boom, there ain't no room up here in the sky
So take your aim, I feel no pain, I'm never gonna die
(Repeat *)
Down on main street the scene was set
They check out the fuel turn the radio on
Open the gates, assemble the gun
Wait at the red, for the president's run
The world was shocked that fateful day (*)
A young man's lot was blown away, away
Dallas 1 p.m., 1 p.m.
Right and left in the back of the head
Screaming confusion, shots rip the air
Cadillac racing, cops on the run
They couldn't believe the president's hit
The shooting stunned as I seemed to run
Is he dead, no-one will say
Around the world the news was flashed
We sat and watched your tragic history
(Repeat *)
The world was shocked
In Dallas 1 p.m.
We sat and watched
Tragic history
The world was shocked
In Dallas 1 p.m.
I just got the news
You're back in town
You're working for a good time
Are you still going down
You're little too crazy
You ain't gonna last
The candle lit at both ends
And it's burning too fast
You're going down (*)
Out of control
You're on a crash dive baby
You're talking too much
You're run out of time
You're walking on the limit
You're way out of line
It's a little too easy
To get what you will
You're running with the wolf baby
You're there for the kill
(Repeat *)
I just got the news
You're back in town
You're looking for a good time
You're still hanging round
(Repeat *)
The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun
I walk a road horizons change
The tournament's begun
The purple piper plays his tune
The choir softly sing
Three lullabies in ancient tongue
For the court of the Crimson King
The keeper of the city keys
Puts shutters on the dreams
I wait outside the pilgrims door
With insufficiant schemes
The black queen chants the funeral march
The cracked brass bell will ring
To summon back the fire witch
To the court of the Crimson King
The gardener plants an evergreen
Whilst trampling on a flower
I chased the wind of a prism ship
To taste the sweet and sour
The pattern juggler lifts his hand
The orchestra begin
I slowly turn the grinding wheel
In the court of the Crimson King
On soft grey mornings widows cry
The wise men share a joke
I run to grasp divining signs
To satisfy the hoax
The yellow jester does not play
But gently pulls the strings
And smiles as the puppets dance
In the court of the Crimson King
[Byford/Quinn/Scarrattt/Carter]
Distant lands are calling you
From far across the sea
Waiting for the stories to be told
The winds of change are blowing down
Across the Spanish main
They carry you towards the land of gold
Conquistador
I see you leaving
Far away you have to go
To distant shores
They are calling
Crying out across the sea
Your stallions ride across the land
Your conquest has begun
You're searching for the kingdom of the sun
A mighty empire found you there
The like you'd never seen
The palace lay before you like a dream
Conquistador
I see you leaving
Far away you have to go
To distant shores
They are calling
Crying out across the sea
The dynasty of Inca gods
No longer rules the land
The sun has set upon the golden king
In galleons anchored off the shore
Their spirits will remain
Your destiny conquistadors of Spain
Conquistador
I see you leaving
Far away you have to go
To distant shores
They are calling
Crying out across the sea
They came to fight for glory in their thousands
Young men with their dreams
They died before the guns for their country
A book of faded pictures, broken dreams
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
The broken heroes
Uncle Sam is waiting with the draft card
He says you've got to fight the Vietcong
The stations full of flags and rule Britannia
The engine pulls you out towards the Somme
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
The broken heroes
The pipes are calling young men back to Belfast
The general says you march to Stalingrad
You rode into the valley with the hundred
Seven lonely graves on Goose Green
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
Where are they now
I got my big twin rollin¹ thumping out a tune
Following the headlight coming back to you
I don¹t need no big jet liner don¹t need no limousine
All I¹ve got¹s my pair of whells satisfaction guaranteed
Chorus
I¹m on my way I¹m coming home
I¹m on my way I¹m coming home
Thunder down the highway keeping up the pace
Six hundred miles before until I see your face
Gasoline and metal hammer through the night
Eating up the freeway makes me feel alright
Chorus
Guitar solo
Polished steel and leather the rumbling of the pair
Hear the carburettors sucking in the air
Sat around the engine vibrating every bone
Keeping it together blasting my way home !
Chorus

Just before dawn in the cold light
We came out of the night
A great expectation from the man who ran the show
Will it rain, will it snow, will it shine, we don't know
Are there clouds up in the sky
We sat in the sun, woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
See the people, feel the power
There was sixty thousand there
Just like thunder the crowds began to roar
Where you there, did ya know, did ya see all the show
There was magic in the air
We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
See the rainbow shining brightly
Shooting rockets to the sky
Making music and it rolled on through the night
You could hear on the air rock n' roll everywhere
We were strangers in the night
We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
Dark clouds gather in the east
Calm before the storm
The devil sends his messager
Hurricane is born
Lightning strikes across the sky
The tempest has begun
Raging forces take control
Destruction soon will come
Tearing up smashing down rolling on and on (*)
Smashing through getting close the time to run has gone
Twist an turn on its path
Crashing through your valley
This is nature's killing ground
You're in Tornado alley
All hell breaking loose coming in your direction (**)
Screaming down across the sky
There is no protection
Turn your heads towards the sky
And pray for your salvation
But you can't stop this mighty force
It's not of your creation
Death and chaos all around
This is not a dream
Caught inside the defening roar
No one hears your scream
(Repeat * and **)
[Byford/Quinn/Scarrattt/Carter]
All guns blazing
Back's against the wall
Don't let the system break you
Why make it easy for them all
Barricade your doors
Defend yourself don't let them in
Keep hostile forces from your shores
Don't let them grind you down
Keep both feet on the ground
The battle rages on and on
Going in - All guns blazing
Going in - Get out my line of fire
Going in - All guns blazing
Going in - Get out my line of fire
All guns blazing
Together we will stand
Don't let the sword divide you
Draw your line across the sand
Waiting for the fall
Stand your ground we're digging in
This time we rally to the cause
Don't let them grind you down
Keep both feet on the ground
The battle rages on and on
Going in - All guns blazing
Going in - Get out my line of fire
Going in - All guns blazing
Going in - Get out my line of fire
Back's against the wall
Don't let the system break you
Why make it easy for them all
Barricade your doors
Defend yourself don't let them in
Keep hostile forces from your shores
Don't let them grind you down
Keep both feet on the ground
The battle rages on and on
Going in - All guns blazing
Going in - Get out my line of fire
Going in - All guns blazing
Going in - Get out my line of fire
Going in - All guns blazing
Going in - Get out my line of fire
Going in - All guns blazing
Going in - Get out my line of fire
You went in the morning
We didn't say goodbye
The friends that you left here
Wonder why
I wish I could see you
Just for a day
Tell you we miss you
And ask you to stay
To absent friends (*)
This one's for you
You went without warning
We didn't even know
Just like the good ones
It was your turn to go
(Repeat *)
When we're together
You stand at our side
We'll raise our glasses
And toast you tonight
(Repeat *)
If there's one thing I love
It's flying high above
Breaking through the barrier of sound
It's just like making love
When you're up above
Riding in my bird of silver steel
Forget the time (*)
Ten miles high
Living my fantasies
At twenty thousand feet
Twenty thousand feet, twenty thousand feet
It's the rushing of my blood
That makes me feel so good
I can see the world below just shooting by
Twice the speed of sound
That's how I like to ride
My chariot of steel across the sky
(Repeat *)
If it's faster than light
Sharper than steel
I'll race across the ceiling of the world
Just like a gun
Aiming at the sun
Riding in my bird of silver steel
(Repeat *)
I'm floating in space
The world seems to disappear
Then I awake
Got to get my head back in place
Twenty thousand feet, twenty thousand feet
Twenty thousand feet, twenty thousand feet
Are you standing on your own when the darkness closes in?
Can you hear the voices calling from within
Do you see the spirit world like a cold and frightened child
Or is your imagination running wild, running wild?
Is there anybody out there?
We're waiting for a sign
Calling to the afterlife
Is anybody there?
Beyond the grave
Beyond the grave
On a breath of cold night air, the candle starts to dim
When shadows dance the walls start closing in
Does your fear begin to rise, well, are you paralyzed with fright?
Can they hear you screaming in the night?
Is there anybody out there?
We're waiting for a sign
And calling to the afterlife
Is anybody there?
Beyond the grave
Beyond the grave
Beyond the grave
Beyond the grave
Is there anybody out there?
We're waiting for a sign
Calling to the afterlife
Is anybody there?
Beyond the grave
Are you standing on your own when the darkness closes in?
Can you hear the voices calling from within
Do you see the spirit world like a cold and frightened child
Or is your imagination running wild, running wild?
Is there anybody out there?
We're waiting for a sign
Calling to the afterlife
Is anybody there?
Is there anybody out there?
We're waiting for a sign
And calling to the afterlife
Is anybody there?
Beyond the grave
Beyond the grave
Beyond the grave
When I hit the ground, I was on the run
I was born the seventh son (the seventh son)
I came up fast, just wanting more
Always running from the law (from the law)
My father said, now slow down son
Life for you has just began (that's what he said)
A little bit of what you fancy always does you good
A little bit of what you fancy always does you good
Don't stop me now, I'm running wild
I've always been a restless child (a restless child)
I was born to rock 'n' roll
Mmm, it's in my soul (it's in my soul)
I've got my Ford, she's long and black
Who needs a fucking Cadillac (who needs it)
A little bit of what you fancy always does you good
A little bit of what you fancy always does you good
I sleep all day and I'm up all night
I don't get paid, but that's alright (I said that's alright)
Don't put me down, I've had enough
I'll stand and fight (I said I'll stand and fight)
When I hit the ground I was on the run
I was born the seventh son
A little bit of what you fancy always does you good
A little bit of what you fancy always does you good
A little bit of what you fancy always does you good
(P.Byford P.Quinn P.Johnson)

Lion, lionheart
Defender of the faith
Lion, lionheart
Protector of the state
Lionheart
Your crown awaits you, the chosen one
Tell the people that freedom?s come

You're gonna get what's coming to you
What goes around comes around
You're gonna get what's coming to you

Turn the wheel of torture
Spin the rack of pain
Now many souls will suffer
To satisfy your game
The smell of death surrounds you
How can you hide your shame
Can we stop this nightmare
Before it starts again
How can you sleep at night
Can you hear their voices in your head
We wrote this song for you
This is your song of evil
Song of evil
Stop this reign of terror
Are we all insane
Crush the voice of freedom
How many will remain
The devil walks beside you
Your souls will burn in hell
Your final retribution
When Satan rings the bell
How can you sleep at night
Can you hear their voices in your head
We wrote this song for you
This is your song of evil
Song of evil
Can you hear their voices in your head
This is your song of evil
Turn the screws of torment
Drop the blade of fear
Hear the screams of anguish
There's no mercy here
The smell of death surrounds you
Your souls will burn in hell
Can we stop this nightmare
When Satan rings the bell
How can you sleep at night
Can you hear their voices in your head
We wrote this song for you
This is your song of evil
How can you sleep at night
Can you hear their voices in your head
We wrote this song for you
This is your song of evil
Evil, evil, evil, evil
Written By : B. Tchaikovsky/M. Broad Bent
One night in Louisiana down by highway eighty four
You could hear a strange dog howling right outside his mamma's door
The baby was a killer, the cousin was a priest
The baby upped and said, "I play the music of the beast"
The devil in concordia looked down and waved his hand
The boy with jackhawk eyes became the leader of the band
The connoisseur of rhythm, rock 'n' roll and swing
But when it comes to boogie you know that he's the king
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock crashing out of the sky
It's shaking all over but he don't know why
The devil went to Memphis as he flew into the sun
He howled about redemption with a bible and a gun
The preacher beat his cheast and cried, "set my people free"
The killer said "I'll drag ya to the gates of hell with me"
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock crashing out of the sky
It's shaking all over but he don't know why
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
The killer he was born again and saw gates of hell
The preacher found redemption in a Jacksonville motel
The devil takes the hindmost they're running out of breath
They're gonna have to reckon with the chilling hand of death
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock crashing out of the sky
It's shaking all over but he don't know why
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock crashing out of the sky
It's shaking all over but he don't know why
You only fool yourself if you think we are alone
You can't deny the truth it's here it's plain to see
But do they come as friends our brothers from the stars
Or are they here to take our place and rule our world
Heed the warning
Come the day
They walk among us
Metalhead
Did they come for you through mists of swirling light
You had a childhood dream abduction in your sleep
You start to scream out loud but no one hears your voice
You never feel the implant deep inside your head
Heed the warning
Come the day
They walk among us
Metalhead
Your tiny world revolves in a sea of endless space
Are you feeling safe protected from the skies
They come and go at will there's nothing you can do
We only stand and stare at powers they possess
Heed the warning
Come the day
They walk among us
Metalhead
Heed the warning
Come the day
They walk among us

Follow the piper follow the drum
Follow the footsteps our comrades begun
'Till the battle's, the battle's won
Follow the sabre follow the gun
For King and for Country we stand here as one
'Till the battle's done, battle's done We are brothers in arms
We fight for the cause
Together we stand
Divided we'd fall
On the killing ground
Killing ground Cannons are roaring from left and to right
Into the carnage before us we fight
'Till the day is won, day is won
Thousands have fallen around us they lie
Onwards together we fight or we'd die
'Till the day is done, day is done
Yeah We are brothers in arms
We march for the cause
Together we stand
Divided we'd fall
On the killing ground
Killing ground Charge into battle victory we cry
Onto the lances our sabres held high
Hear our battle cry, battle cry
The field is now silent conflict is done
Marching to glory through rivers of blood
To our battle cry, battle cry We are brothers in arms
We die for the cause
Together we stand
Divided we'd fall
We are brothers in arms
We die for the cause
Together we stand
Divided we'd fall
On the killing ground We are brothers in arms
We fight for the cause
Together we stand
Divided we'd fall
We are brothers in arms
We die for the cause
Together we stand
Divided we'd fall We are brothers in arms
We march for the cause
Together we stand
Divided we'd fall
Come to the reaper sing the song bringing death to everyone
Once the earth was calm and safe but now the land¹s a battle place
Firing shells into the air where they land no one cares
Now the blood flows like a stream widowmaker reigns supreme
Chorus
Dogs of war
No surrender
Dogs of war
I kill the defender
Dogs of war
Scream in to battle
Dogs of war
It¹s the day of Jackal
Nothing seems to ease the pain the reaper¹s shadow still remains
Sniper lets the bullet fly in the distance someone die
The down becomes an empty shell come and spend a day in hell
Forgotten what we¹re fighting for no one wins this bloody war
Chorus
Guitar solo
Lay the wreath across the flag fill another body bag
Guard of honour standing proud put your son in to the ground
Did they die for you and me a sacrifice for liberty
A generation dead and gone the reaper sings his deadly song
Chorus repeat
Where were you in '79 when the dam began to burst
Did you check us out down at the local show
Were you wearing denim, wearing leather
Did you run down to the front
Did you queue for your ticket through the ice and snow
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Did you read the music paper from the back and to the front
Did you find out where to see your favorite band
Did you listen to the radio every Friday night
Did hang around your local record store
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Do you dream of playing guitar or smashing up the drums
Maybe you can learn to play the bass
You can always be a singer like me and front the band
When on the stage we wait at your command
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
It was you - that set the spirit free
It was you - that put us here today
It was you - that filled the concert halls
It was you - that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
When I was a boy I listened to the stories
Of conquerers and heroes of old
Tales of adventure and valiant days
Warrior courageous and bold
Come with me and I'll take you there
Let's open the book of time
Battalions of steel on charging white stallions
Riding out in the dawn
Many will follow and carry the flag
Defenders of faith and the realm
Come with me and I'll take you there
Let's open the book of time
They are calling hear their voices
From the pages of history
Fallen heroes not forgotten
Your deeds of valour, deeds of glory
Deeds of glory
Forged from purest metal, courage made of steel
They stand upon the city walls
Guardians of fait on lonely distant watchtowers
We hear your gallant voices call
Come with me and I'll take you there
Let's open the book of time
They are calling hear their voices
From the pages of history
Fallen heroes not forgotten
Your deeds of valour, deeds of glory
Deeds of glory
I was laid around bored to tears watching flowers grow
I got my car and drove to town tried to find a show
Cruised around for an hour or two, hunted high and low
I had to find some rock 'n' roll to make my system go
'Cos I can't, I can't stop rockin' (*)
Let me hear that music one more time
'Cos I can't, I can't stop rockin'
I found a club with a neon sign on the sleazy side of town
A battered jukebox on the wall was the only source of sound
A drunken sailor from a russian whaler was my only drinking mate
Then through the door smashed a hundred more, said yeah let's celebrate
(Repeat *)
The party burst straight out through the doors out onto the street
People came from miles around dancing to the beat
From across the street came a real smart suit, said hey I'm gonna sue
But there ain't no sucker with a long legged hooker, gonna tell me what to do
(Repeat *)

They came to fight for glory in their thousands
Young men with their dreams
They died before the guns for their country
A book of faded pictures, broken dreams Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
The broken heroes Uncle Sam is waiting with the draft card
He says you've got to fight the Vietcong
The stations full of flags and rule Britannia
The engine pulls you out towards the Somme Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroes Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
The broken heroes The pipes are calling young men back to Belfast
The general says you march to Stalingrad
You rode into the valley with the hundred
Seven lonely graves on Goose Green Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroes
The broken heroes Where are they now [Repeat to end]
People pushin' like I don't know (*)
I'm gonna live my life like I wanted to
My hopes shot down, my backs to the wall
But I've got my pride
They can't take it all
I've got my pride
They can't take that away
You've got your pride
They can't take that away

I've got my pride
They can't take that away
I've got my pride
They can't take that away
I'm gonna be free
Gonna be free
Can't take my life away (**)
They can't take my life away

Back's to the wall
I'm starting to fall
Make your stand, no man's land
Will nobody give me a helping hand
Put me down, wipe me out
Do what you like but I'll put up a fight
I'm goin' to the wall (Repeat)
Goin' to the wall

Two thousand years they stand behind us
Are we just travellers in time
We face the phantoms of our future
They face destruction of their kind
These, these are the days
These, these are the times
Are we just travellers in time
The ancient stones of time they call us
To hear their mystic prophecies
They've stood in silence they're immortal
Forgotton page of history
These, these are the days
These, these are the times
Are we just travellers in time
Are we just travellers in time
The crystal powers they will take you
Far across the sands of time
Searching ever for an answer
What's the future of mankind
These, these are the days
These, these are the times
Are we just travellers in time
Are we just travellers in time
Are we just travellers in time
Are we just travellers in time

Bad luck and trouble
Get out of my way

Coming to stay
Don't need no bullshit
No mister Big
Don't need no contract
No papers to rig

I don't need pain
My lady fortune's
Coming back again
I ain't gonna take it
Take it no more
'Cause when push comes to shove
This can't be love
So I ain't gonna take it no more
Bad luck and trouble
Get out of my face
You're just a loser
Get off of my case
Can't stand the thunder
Can't keep me down
You're going nowhere
Stop messing around
I don't need trouble
I don't need pain
My lady fortune's
Coming back again
I ain't gonna take it
Take it no more
'Cause when push comes to shove
This can't be love
So I ain't gonna take it no more
Bad luck and trouble
Are passing me by
Your days are numbered
It's your turn to cry
No time for losers
With nothing to say
Sunshine and blue skies
Are heading my way
I ain't gonna take it
Take it no more
'Cause when push comes to shove
This can't be love
So I ain't gonna take it no more

The band played and the cameras turned
As the bottle smashed on her bow
The flagship of the gilded age
Moved slowly out to sea
Never had such luxury
Been seen afloat before
They said she was unsinkable
The fools were wrong once more
S. - S.O.S.
We're sinking fast
You better get to the boats
S. - S.O.S.
The captain cried
For God sakes save your souls
Sailing on into the night
Toward the northern star
Laughter rang, people danced
Under crystal chandeliers
No one sensed the danger
In the unforgiving sea
Steaming into legend
A voyage into historyS. - S.O.S.
We're sinking fast
You better get to the boats
S. - S.O.S.
The captain cried
For God sakes save your souls
2000 tortured souls cry out
Cry out from their sleep
Damned to spend eternity
Travelers of the deep
S. - S.O.S.
We're sinking fast
You better get to the boats
S. - S.O.S.
The captain cried
For God sakes save your souls

Steaming like a freight train
Gonna blow my pistons out

Danger inside deep in your mind
Beware of the Beast that's within you
In towers of stone he walks alone
Close to the edge of your dreams
Shrouded in time the end of your line
The curse of the past walks among you
In temples of gold the myth will unfold
Your destiny waits there for you
Unleash the Beast
The time has come
Feel the fire in your soul
It's time
Unleash the Beast
In pages of old when fables were told
Of a time when the beast was among you
In dark gothic rooms you search for the runes
To break from the spell that still binds you
Deep in the mist you just can't resist
To follow the path that will free you
Like grains of sand that slip through your hand
The end of the curse still eludes youUnleash the Beast
The time has come
Feel the fire in your soul
It's time
Unleash the Beast
Unleash the Beast
The time has come
Feel the fire in your soul
It's time
Unleash the Beast
Unleash the Beast
Danger inside deep in your mind
Beware of the Beast that's within you
In towers of stone he walks alone
Close to the edge of your dreams
Unleash the Beast
The time has come
Feel the fire in your soul
It's time
Unleash the Beast
The time has come
Feel the fire in your soul
It's time

You'd better sleep with your rifle
Keep your powder dry
You'll be fighting for your country
See the colours fly
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the line
You're the men from Harloch
You'll be standing proud
You're the Queen's light infantry
Sing out loud
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the line
You came for the glory
To fight and to die
You stood in the thin red line
Remember the heroes
When stories are told
They died in the thin red line
In the thin red line
Stand steady in the ranks boys
You gotta hold your fire
We'll show 'em what we're made of
When they hit the wire
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the line
You'll be thinking of your loved ones
That you left back there
Then the sound of the bugle
Cuts the cool night air
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the lineYou came for the glory
To fight and to die
You stood in the thin red line
Remember the heroes
When stories are told
They died in the thin red line
In the thin red line
Now you lay with your comrades
Far across the sea
Where you're fighting for the Empire
Did you die for me
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the line
You'd better sleep with your rifle
Keep your powder dry
You'll be fighting for your country
See the colours fly
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the line
You came for the glory
To fight and to die
You stood in the thin red line
Remember the heroes (remember the heroes)
When stories are told
They died in the thin red line
You came for the glory (you came for the glory)
To fight and to die
You stood in the thin red line
Remember the heroes (remember the heroes)
When stories are told
They died in the thin red line

Get your kicks in the edge of the sky
Twenty miles up from the borderline
Feel the rush as your body drops through the air
Take a step right into space
Take the blast right in your face

Take a chance, light the fuse
Step right up, stand in line
In thirty seconds time

Thirty thousand feet to the end of the line
Ya screaming down towards the world below

Take a leap the devil may care
Ya ride the wind across the open sky

Your talking on the TV every single day
Making stupid gestures nothing much to say
Deny responsibility find someone to blame
When it comes right down to it
You're all the fucking same
We're not listening, listening to you
We're not listening, don't tell me what to do
We're not listening, listening to you
We're not listening to the ministry of fools
We listen to your promises they're just a pack of lies
Maneuvering your followers to draw the battle lines
You don't admit to anything you think you'll never fall
But come the revolution you'll be first against the wall
We're not listening, listening to you
We're not listening, don't tell me what to do

You make your living from backstabbing
You're just a snake in hand made boots
You slither round like something slimy
Nothing's ever what it seems
Cut out the disease
The lies and deceit
Cut out the disease
The lies and deceit
You circle around just like a vulture
You're waiting for your piece of meat
Beneath your charm there's something hiding
The way you spin your vicious web
Cut out the disease
The lies and deceit
Cut out the disease
The lies and deceit
We did it all - we did it all for you
Did it all - we did it all for youOnce, you were our friend
But you betrayed us in the end
Confrontation was your weakness
Evil lies behind that smile
You slither round like something slimy
You're just a snake in handmade boots
Cut out the disease

You're far outside your body now
Looking down you see yourself below
Standing on the precipice
You could be leaving soon
The life you know
Waiting for your guardian
To take you up towards the astro plane
Follow me walking to the circle of light
Follow me this could be the end of your life
Follow me
Floating there above yourself
You watch the doctors try to save your life
Will you live or will you die
Your fate depends upon the surgeon's knife
Detached from all reality
You let yourself be pulled towards the lightFollow me walking to the circle of light
Follow me this could be the end of your life
Follow me, follow me, follow me
You listen to the voices now
They tell you that its not your time to leave
Then suddenly you feel the pain
Your body jerks and you begin to breathe
Through the haze you see the knife
Will this be the one to take your life
Follow me walking to the circle of light
Follow me this could be the end of your life
Follow me walking to the circle of light
Follow me this could be the end of your life

You never see him out in the sunlight
He's waiting for the shadows to fall
Moving under cover of darkness
Searching for a victim to maul
Lock up your doors so tightly
Keep all your windows shut
'Cause on this night the blood will flow
Flow before the dawn
In the night wrap up tight
Vampire strikes
Bloodletter
Roaming in the valley of darkness
Never moving far from the grave
Waiting at the edge of your nightmare
Seeking out the blood that he craves
So if your hear a tap on your window
You know that your time has come
On this night the blood will flow
Flow before the dawn
In the night wrap up tight
Vampires bite
Bloodletter, bloodletter
In the night wrap up tight
Vampire strikes
Bloodletter, bloodletter
Scream in the night
Keep out of sightYou never see him out in the sunlight
He's waiting for the shadows to fall
Moving under cover of darkness
Searching for a victim to maul
Lock up your doors so tightly
Keep all your windows shut

Flow before the dawn
In the night wrap up tight

The eternal flame the light keeps shining on
Your music is immortal it stood the test of time
You're gone but not forgotten, you walk with us

The legacy you left still marches on
But still they play your music all around the world
Blasting through the airwaves to the stars

Silver ships across the sky
Something I have never seen before
Was it true or fantasy
I don't know the answers anymore
All I know is what I saw
Something shooting fast across the sky
Did we see a rocket ship from another star
Shooting through our galaxy coming from afar
But I see your lights shining in the sky
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shining in the sky
Leave your signs across the land
Mysteries, the answers that we seek
Coming from another world
See the circles in the golden wheat
One day soon we'll talk to you
Find out if you come to us in peace
Did we see a rocket ship coming from afar
Shooting through our galaxy from another star
But I see your lights shining in the sky
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shining in the sky
Silver ships across the sky
Something I have never seen before
Was it true or fantasy

Take it down easy
Take it down low
Slide it to the bottom
And shake it real slow
You move it to the side
And squeeze it real tight
Is there any wonder
I'm losing my sight
Now get me to a doctor
I gotta get a shot
Cause I just can't get enough of you
I'll do anything that you want me to
I just can't get enough of you, oh no
I just can't get enough of you
I'll do anything that you want me to
I just can't get enough of you tonight, oh no

Stroke it down bad

Can you hear the thunder rolling
Somewhere in the night
Twenty thousand voices screaming
Blinded by the light
Makes no difference who you are
Or where you're going to
The sound of fury splits the night
Above the chosen few
Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire
Take the eagle from the sky
Ride into the sun
Make a stand the time has come
The tournament's begun
Throw the dice, spin the wheel
Turn the card of fate
The day is coming soon my friend
You don't have to waitWelcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
(Baptism of fire)
Can you hear the thunder rolling
Somewhere in the night
Twenty thousand voices screaming
Blinded by the light
Makes no difference who you are
Or where you're going to
The sound of fury splits the night
Above the chosen few
Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire

Come from the woods
Out of the hills
Come from the cities
Down from the moors
Make your way down the golden path
To stand free for the temple
Power is the name
To stay on top your reign
Money rules the game
The winner takes the gain
Come smash the old
Come cut the land
Come carve the stone
Come forge the steel
From out of desolation rise
The symbols of your power Your towers of steel stand proud
Cathedrals of a new age
Let all with greed come worship here
At the altar of the Gods
Power is the name
To stay on top your reign
Money rules the game
The winner takes the gain
Wall street crash
Financial sting
Live for the dollar
Profit the share
The shame of generations past
Reflected in the city
Power is the name
To stay on top your reign
Money rules the game
The winner takes the gain

Who's that girl with her pants on fire?
You can feel the heat when you're standing by her
You look so good with your dress real tight
Does your mother know you're out tonight?
You're just sixteen you're on the loose
Your innocence is no excuse
Your mother thinks you're sweetness
You're Daddy's little girl
You may have been made in Heaven
But you ain't no angel
You ain't no angel
You're coming on strong, you're coming on heavy
Wanna mess with the boys in the back of the Chevy?
Let's take a ride, be my back seat lover
You taste so good, you're just like sugar
Now hold on baby, make it last
Does your Daddy know you're learning fast?Your mother thinks you're sweetness
You're Daddy's little girl
Were you made in Heaven?
'Cos you ain't no angel
You ain't no angel
You ain't no angel
You ain't no angel
Hi boys
What are ya doin' ?
Going for a ride ?
Can I come ?
No, my mother won't mind
I ain't no angel
You ain't no angel

We didn't come for their sympathy
We didn't come for their soul
We didn't come for their bigotry
We didn't come for their gold
We never said we were perfect
We'll lay it on the line
They can stick their censorship
Where the sun don't shine
We came here to rock
We came here to rock
We came here to rock
We came here to rock
We didn't come for their apathy
We didn't come for their lies
We didn't come for their strategy
We didn't come for their wives
Don't tell us how to run our lives
We know what's right and what's wrong
They're just a bunch hypocrites
We came for one thing aloneWe came here to rock
We came here to rock
We came here to rock
We came here to rock (came here to rock)
We didn't come for bureaucracy
We didn't come for their views
We don't need their mentality
We don't need their abuse
We've never worshipped the devil
That's just another lie
We just wanna have some fun
Some fun before we die
We came here to rock
We came here to rock
We came here to rock
We came here to rock

You got me spinning, spinning around
I don't know if I'm up or I'm down
I'm coming back to you tonight
My pulse is racing, I'm out of control
My body's aching, it's taken it's toll
I'm coming back to you tonight
This darn freeway's driving me insane
I need a shot, a shot to ease the pain
I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night
I'm waiting...bring on the night
My heart is pounding, I need you so much
My body's yearning, I long for your touch
I'm coming back to you tonight
I can't wait a minute longer
Every second the feeling get stronger
Coming back to you tonight
This darn freeway's driving me insane
I need a shot, a shot to ease the pain
I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night
I'm waiting...bring on the night (bring on the night)
You got me spinning, spinning around
I don't know if I'm up or I'm down
I'm coming back to you tonightI can't wait a minute longer
Every second the feeling's stronger
Coming back to you tonight
This darn freeway's driving me insane
I need a shot, a shot to ease the pain
I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night
I'm waiting...bring on the night
I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night
I'm waiting...bring on the night
Bring on the night
Bring on the night
I'm waiting
Bring on the night
Bring on the night
'Cause tonight I'm coming back to you
I'm waiting
Bring on the night

Additional lyrics included in liner notes
but not in the song....
My mind is drifting, thinking of you
The love you're sending is making it through
I'm coming back to you tonight
The summer sun's still shining bright
Can't last forever, bring on the night
I'm coming back to you tonight

Catch me if you can and tame the beast
Should I leave you burning in the heat
Kick the throttle down, I'm on fire
It turns me on the feel the engine's beat
Take it to the highway
On the open road
I want to feel your power
Screaming into overload
She's running hot
She's hotComing out of nowhere, moving fast
I gotta keep the feeling
Make it last
Let me feel your body
I'll explode
Together we will run to overload
Take it to the highway
On the open road
I want to feel your power
Screaming into overload
She's running hot
She's hot
She's running hot
She's hot

Big wheels are rolling
On thru' the night
We hit the city in the morning
No time to eat or sleep
Six concerts in a week
Take the show across the nation
Could this be San Antone?
Or am I stood in Rome?
Is the real or am I dreaming?
Standing by the backstage door
Just like the one before
We're here to set the spirit free
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Wait for the curtain call
Excitement in the hall
The stage crew ready at their stations
The houselights start to dim
Another show begins
Now it's time to rock the nations
Stand in the flashing lights
The music fills the night
The feeling just goes on and on
We take the last encore
The first of many more
The spotlight takes the final bow
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Big wheels are rolling
On thru' the night
Daylight comes without warning
North, south, east and west
We'll put you to the test
As we rock across your nation
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations

Come on everybody
Tonight it's party time
Grab a bottle or a crate
Leave your blues behind
You're gonna need the cavalry
To get you outta here
The last time that we had one
It lasted for a year
We're gonna party
Party till u puke
(These people are sick)
We're gonna party
Party till u puke
Till u pukeDon't worry about the neighbours
They're blind drunk in the loo
There'll be no trouble from the police
'Cos they're all in here too
We got the music cranked right up
It's blowing off the roof
There's people drinking gasoline
It must be two hundred proof
We're gonna party
Party till u puke
(Will someone get me outta here?)
We're gonna party
Party till u puke
Till u puke
(These people are weird!)

Can you hear the sound
The sound of distant voices
Floating gently 'cross the glen
Can you see the people
The people gathered 'round
They're worshipping their king
They came to hear the story
They came to sing the song
There's talk of a rebellion
The highlands are aflame
From the mountains to the sea
A prince has come to Scotland
To claim his rightful throne
The seeds of war are sown
They came to hear the story
They came to sing the song
Let me hear
Let me hear
Let me hear your battlecry
Let me hear
Let me hear
Let me hear your battlecry
An army marches northwards
To meet the fearless clansmen
For England and St. George
The red coats face the tartan
The battle lines are drawn
The musket and the swordThey came to hear the story
They came to sing the song
Let me hear
Let me hear
Let me hear your battlecry
Let me hear
Let me hear
Let me hear your battlecry
Many men have fallen
The prince has had his day
Culloden was the name
Their battlecry can still be heard
To this very day
Floating gently 'cross the glen
They came to hear the story
They came to sing the song
Let me hear
Let me hear
Let me hear your battlecry

Does this town know how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
We're gonna Saxonize
You're gonna vandalize your soul
It does no good to sit there
Stand up and rock 'n' roll
We know what your doin' here
We'll start a ballroom blitz
So come on down and rock with us
We'll blow this town to bits
Well I ain't seen a crowd like this
Since nineteen seventy four
I wanna see you rock tonight
We're gonna lock the doors, yaya
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
I've walked the streets of London
And I've been to Tokyo
I've seen the Coliseum
And I've grasped the Berlin wall
I've heard the bands of Scotland
I've seen the Alpine snow
I've crossed the Mississippi
I've touched the Alamo
Well I ain't seen a crowd like this
Since nineteen seventy four
I wanna see you rock tonight
We're gonna lock the doors, yaya
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town...
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock

Take a giant step for mankind
On a distant lunar sea
As you travel across the universe
Will you take a step, take a step for me
Will you take a step for me
Voyage of an eagle
Blasting to the stars
You take the hopes and dreams of men
To find yourself, to find tranquillity
To find tranquillity
Traveled across the universe
And placed the lonely flag
Out there in isolation
At the final, the final frontier
At the final frontier
The world's in celebration
As we wait for your return
You took a giant leap for mankind
On another, on another world
On another world
Take it easy take it slow
Don't go fast don't let go
The eagle has landed
The eagle has landed
The eagle has landed
Put me to battle I'll follow the sound of the gun
Give me an order, command me I'll fire at will
I've got no emotions I'm living with thunder and steel
I don't hear your lies all I hear are your battle cries
I'm a soldier of fortune I'm trained and I'm ready to die
To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
A cold death awaits me tonight if I stumble or fall
My friends lay around me their bodies all tattered and torn
But mine is not to reason why, mine is just to do or die
To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Can you feel the power
Can you feel the glory
Can you feel the power
Can you feel the glory
Can you feel the power
Is it with you tonight
I'm fighting for freedom, I'm safe, I've got God on my side
What price in lights (?) can you justify your battle hymn
The General says we'll will win the war just sacrificed a thousand more
To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
(Where were you in the night)
(Where were you in the night)
As the night closes in I lay in my bed
Since you went away it's been driving me mad
I stand in my room I can't the light
I wish you were here I'm lonely at night
I'm caught in a nightmare
Alone in the night
(Where were you) I was caught in a nightmare
(Where were you) Alone in the night
(Where were you) I was caught in a nightmare
(Where were you) Alone in the night
I was caught on the inside I'm afraid of the night
That my nightmare begin where reality ends
I won't sleep tonight my head's spinning 'round
I'm alone in a crowd I wait for the dark
For my nightmare to start I'm lonely at night
Don't leave me this way
I'm caught in a nightmare
Alone in the night
(Where were you) I was caught in a nightmare
(Where were you) I was alone in the night
(Where were you) I was caught in a nightmare
(Where were you) Alone in the night
(Where were you) I was caught in a nightmare
(Where were you) Alone in the night
(Where were you) Here where you found me
(Where were you) Alone in the night
(Don't walk away) Don't leave me this way
(Don't leave me this way) Don't walk away
(Where were you in the night) Alone in the night
(Where were you) Don't leave me, no
(In the night) Don't walk away
See the man in the bookshop
See his withered hand
He walks very slowly never stands in crowds
Children stand and wonder as he turns and walks away
Closely guards the secret
Of the beauty in his eyes
He's the man with the Midas touch
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the Midas touch
He's got the beauty in his eyes
He looks so innocent
As he shuffles down the street
But he is the holy sentinel
That guards the gates of Hades
To stop the Lord Of Darkness
Coming straight from hell
The bringer of disaster
The one who tolls the bell
He's the man with the Midas touch
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the Midas touch
He's got the beauty in his eyes
Until the final conflict
He has to walk the earth
To do his master's bidding
And stop the evil force
He waits for Armageddon
The Nazarene will come
Rising from the ashes
Of the fallen world
He's the man with the Midas touch
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the Midas touch
He's got the beauty in his eyes
We're gonna shout, let it rock
We're gonna shout, let it roll
We're gonna shout, let it rock
We're gonna shout, let it roll
Are you feelin' hot
Are you ready to rock
I'll take you to the edge
Show me what you got
Are you looking for some action
Show me your reaction
You gotta raise your voices high
Rock will never die
We're gonna shout, let it rock
We're gonna shout, let it roll
We're gonna shout, let it rock
We're gonna shout, let it roll
Are you standing on your seat
Can you feel the beat
The flames are getting higher
Look into the fire
Can you feel it in your head
We're gonna wake the dead
You gotta raise your voices high
Rock will never die
We're gonna shout, let it rock
We're gonna shout, let it roll
We're gonna shout, let it rock
We're gonna shout, let it roll
Can you hear me
Are you there (are you there)
Shout it out
If you're with us tonight
We're gonna shout, let it rock
We're gonna shout, let it roll
We're gonna shout, let it rock
We're gonna shout, let it roll
We're gonna shout, let it rock
We're gonna shout, let it roll
We're gonna shout, let it rock
Cast your spell in the night
Blackhearted woman mystifies
Heart of stone cold as ice
Play the cards roll the dice
You're the devil in disguise
I see the evil in your eyes
I used to love you but now I know
Devil woman ya won't let go
She's a devil, see the devil ride out
See the devil, see the devil ride out (ride out)
Spin the wheel cast my fate
Wicked body filled with hate
I feel your power in my soul
Trapped inside your crystal ball
Turn the key lock me in
Keep me hungry for your sin
We were lovers from the start
Stop your torture of my heart
She's a devil, see the devil ride out (ride out)
See the devil, see the devil ride out
See the devil ride out
(See the devil, the devil ride out)
Ya black hearted woman
(See the devil, the devil ride out)
You're as cold as ice
(See the devil, the devil ride out)
See the devil ride out
I'm the loser in the game
You're the keeper you got me tamed
You're the priestess with eyes of fire
Now I see you're a liar
I've been a fool I should have known
You were evil up to the bone
Break the spell let me go
It's not a secret anymore
She's a devil, see the devil ride out
She's a devil, see the devil ride out
She's a devil, see the devil ride out
She's a devil, see the devil ride out
Waiting for the night
Keeping out of sight
You're standing on the streets for kicks
Looking for a thrill
You know you're dressed to kill
You're turning all the young boys on
Treat them all the same
Life is just a game
You're breaking every heart around
Really got it made
Driving me insane
But you're running out of time
It's the call of the wild
Creatures of the night
It's the call of the wild
Calling you tonight
Life is just for fun
Take it on the run
You're trying everything in sight
Living fast and wild
You're a restless child
You're screaming at the night
Fighting fire with fire
Burning with desire
But no one's gonna put you out
Run with the pack
Never lookin' back
But only the strong will survive
It's the call of the wild
Creatures of the night
It's the call of the wild
Calling you tonight
Waiting for the night
Keeping out of sight
You're standing on the streets for kicks
Looking for a thrill
You know you're dressed to kill
You're turning all the young boys on
Treat them all the same
Life is just a game
You're breaking every heart around
Really got it made
Driving me insane
But you're running out of time
It's the call of the wild
Creatures of the night
It's the call of the wild
Calling you tonight
We've been out in the cold
Trying to get in
We've been ripped off and rolled
Heads in a spin
Nothin can stop us breakin' through
Finding my way back home to you
Standing alone in the fight
You've never been out of our sight
We're back on the streets again
We're back on our feet again
We're out of the night
Into the light
We're back on the streets again
We're back, we're back on the streets again
We're back, we're back on our feet again
We were caught in the crossfire
But no one could win
They bled off the power
Our spirit within
Standing our ground
We're digging in
This time 'round
We're gonna win
The banners are flying high
We're reaching for the sky
We're back on the streets again
We're back on our feet again
We're out of the night
Into the light
We're back on the streets again
We're back, we're back on the streets again
We're back, we're back on our feet again
We're back, we're back on the streets again
We're back on the streets again

Don¹t worry about me
I take my time I¹ll stay a while
Don¹t have to worry about a thing
They tell you the truth but you know it¹s a lie
Big brother is watching the eye in the sky
Just take your freedom and throw it away
Cause sooner or later we¹re all going to payChorus

Just do as you¹re told there¹s no time to think
We shouldn¹t forget what we learnt from the past
Stop looking at life through rose coloured glass

Traveling down life's highway
We carry the heavy load
Where will we be, be tomorrow
Somewhere down the road
We won't forget the friends
We made along the way
Soon we'll be together
Together one fine day
Where the lightning strikes
Is where we're gonna be
Stood on the edge of tomorrow
There waits our destiny
I hear the sound of rolling thunder
The beating of a drum
There's many been, been before us
There's many yet to come
We see the day
The new day dawning
It's just begun
We march into the future
Towards the rising sun(See the light,
hear the thunder,
the new day)
Beyond the wide, the wide horizon
There's many paths to tread
A journey filled, filled with wonder
Is waiting just ahead
Where the lightning strikes
Is where we're gonna be
Stood on the edge of tomorrow
There waits our destiny
Where the lightning strikes
Is where we're gonna be
Stood on the edge of tomorrow
There waits our destiny

Emma stands alone tonight
Staring at the stars
Trying to find the reason why
Her world was torn apart
She's sick and tired of trying to keep
The wolves back from the door
She couldn't stand the pain
Tried to come in from the rain
She was a victim of her heart
Is there no one to blame
What happened to the dreams she had
Visions of her life
Now they're only shadows
Fading in the night
She's given up believing
Turned her back and slammed the doorShe couldn't stand the pain
Tried to come in from the rain
She was a victim of her heart
Is there no one to blame
No one to blame
No one to blame
No one to blame
Emma weeps alone tonight
Passion was her crime
No one hears her cry for help
Her back's against the wall
She's standing on the very edge
She's waiting for the fall
She couldn't stand the pain
Tried to come in from the rain
She was a victim of her heart
Victim of her heart
She couldn't stand the pain
Tried to come in from the rain
She was a victim of her heart
Is there no one to blame

You keep me waiting, you won't answer your phone
I know you're home but you're not alone
Stop playing games, girl
You're playing with my heart
I was a fool to fall for you lies
It took so long for me to open my eyes
I was a stranger
A stranger from the start
But how long must I stand out in the cold
Can't you see the writing's on the wall
I've been waiting
I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore
The more I want you, the less I get
I've been alone since the day that we met
I'm trying hard, girl
I'm trying to forgetI walked the streets, I stood at your door
You gave me nothing and I came back for more
You were a stranger
A stranger to my heart
But how long must I stand out in the cold
Can't you see the writing's on the wall
I've been waiting
I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore
I was a fool to fall for your lies
It took so long for me to realize
I was a stranger
A stranger from the start
But how long must I stand out in the cold
Can't you see the writing's on the wall
I've been waiting
I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore

My father used to work the seam
Far below the ground
Digging for the coal to melt the steel
But now he stands a lonely man
Idle and forlorn
Just like the iron wheels
That took him down
I can't stop my tears from falling
Falling down like rain
Your words of wisdom
Call to me
I hang my head in shame
We're living in the calm before the storm
We're living in the calm before the storm
He used to be the fisherman
Who sailed the mighty sea
Searching for the harvest from the deep
But now the fleets are rusting hulks
Anchored at the quay
Floating on a cold gray empty seaI can't stop my tears from falling
Falling down like rain
Your words of wisdom
Call to me
I hang my head in shame
We're living in the calm before the storm
We're living in the calm before the storm
My father was a working man
He gave his life to me
His spirit reaches out through time
And guides my destiny
I can't stop my tears from falling
Falling down like rain
Your words of wisdom
Call to me
I hang my head in shame
We're living in the calm before the storm
We're living in the calm before the storm
We're living in the calm before the storm
We're living in the calm before the storm
Breaks away the chains that bind me
Gives me sympathy
Keeps me running on the high road
Keeps me living free
Never tries to steal my thunder
Helps me through the night
Always there to help and guide me
Makes me feel alright
There ain't no doubt about it
Just can't live without her
Moves my very soul
When we touch I lose control
I'm outta control
I lose control
I'm outta control
When I feel depressed and lonely
She never asks me why
Always knows just when to leave me
When I start to lie
Tries to think about the next day
So I can survive
When I come home tired and weary
She keeps me satisfied
There ain't no doubt about it
Just can't live without her
Moves my very soul
When we touch I lose control
She breaks away the chains that bind me
Gives me sympathy
Keeps me running on the high road
Keeps me living free
Never tries to steal my thunder
Helps me through the night
Always there to help and guide me
Makes me feel alright
There ain't no doubt about it
Just can't live without her
Moves my very soul
When we touch I lose control
I'm outta control
I lose control
I'm outta control

You can take away the money
You can take away the gold
You can tell me it's the truth
You know it isn't so
You can say that I'm a vandal

When you've really thought it bad
But just let me rock (rock)

You can give away my share
You can tell me it's a diamond

You can tell me I've got nothing
When I hold it in my hand
You can say a scrap of paper
Was a contract that I signed
But just let me rock (rock)
Just let me rock (rock)
Just let me rock (rock)
Just let me rock (rock)
Just let me rock
You can take away my heroes
You can take away my pride
You can tell me I can trust you

When I'm really drinking wine
You can say I'm really clever
Then you laugh behind my back
But just let me rock (rock)

I'll climb the tallest mountain
I'll swim the deepest sea
I'll do anything, baby
Anything to set you free
If you're lost and I can't find you
Somewhere in the night
If you need me there beside you
To make you feel alright
You're standing in the darkness
I can show you light
Nothing stands between us
That love can't make right
And I'll do it all for you
Yes I'll do it all, I'll do it all for you
When your world is full of sadness
And the feeling goes on and on and on
You know I'll be there
If you're standing on the ledge
And scared of looking down
I'll be there to catch you, if you fall
If you're trapped inside your heartache
And you can't find escape
Come with me and break away
It don't matter what they say
And I'll do it all for you
Yes I'll do it all for you
You know I'll do it all for you, baby
I'll do it all, do it all for you
You know I'll do it all for you, baby
I'll do it all, do it all for you
Step right up and ring the bell
This carousel's going straight to hell (straight to hell)
When the metal's hot and the music's loud
And your head is spinning round and round (round and round)
Bad boys like to rock 'n' roll
I said Bad boys like to rock 'n' roll
(they like to rock 'n' roll)
Hold on tight, don't let go
If you want to rock, just let me know (just let me know)
Tonight's the night, we're back in town
We're all cranked up and ready to go (ready to go)
Bad boys like to rock 'n' roll
I said Bad boys like to rock 'n' roll
We'll suck you in and spin you round
We can turn your power on (power on)
Can't stop now, just feel the rush
Just give me more, can't get enough (can't get enough)
Bad boys like to rock 'n' roll
I said Bad boys like to rock 'n' roll, don't you know
Bad boys like to rock 'n' roll
I said Bad boys like to rock
Bad boys like to roll
Wild horses running free
Bareback warriors ride again
Hear the voices from the spirit world
Crying out for the Indian nation
From the sacred buriel mounds
To the happy hunting grounds
Like the moon across the sky
Hear the ancient battle cry
Chorus
Give the land back to the nations
Let their spirits roam the plains
With the great white buffalo
You were the eagle in the sky
The cunning wolf the running bear
Roaming free from the valley to the prairie
You lived as one on the sacred land
From the river down to the sea
In the wind blowing through the trees
Round the fire dancing high
Hear the ancient battle cry
Chorus
Guitar solo
The mighty fires burn across the land
The cherokee and the navaho
Call the nations there to be as one
Gather here all you native bone
Join the spirits hidden in the past
Come together for the tribal dance
Many here are prepared to die
For the ancient battle cry
I know that it's cold (*)
Well don't stand outside my door
I told you before
I don't want you anymore
Changed all the locks
And took away your key
I don't care where you go
But just stay away from me
I can't stand it (**)
I don't need it
I don't want you
I can't trust you
Taking your chances
In the world outside
Taking your chances
In the world outside
I gave all I had
But you still come back for more
It's the end of the line for me
And that's for sure
Well I know that you're proud
And you love me to the bone
When it's better for you to go
You don't stay home
(Repeat **)
(Repeat *)
It's the end of the line for me
And that's for sure
I don't care where you go
But just keep away from here
I wish I had a fortune
I'd take the pain away
We could be together
That's how we need to stay
'Cause you can change the world
The world in which you live in, live in
Suzie hold on
Do everything you believe to be right
Doing it all the time
Fighting the fight you believe to be right
Doing it all the time
When we were far apart
No one could be closer
Please don't take your life
'Cause that would break my heart
Try to stop your crying
We both know you're dying, dying
Suzie hold on
Do everything you believe to be right
Doing it all the time
Fighting the fight you believe to be right
Doing it all the time
I wish I had a fortune
I'd take your pain away
We could be together
That's how we need to stay
'Cause you can change the world
The world in which we live in, live in
Suzie hold on
Don't you know that you can change the world
Don't you know that you can change the world
Change the world, you can change the world
Suzie you can change the world
I can't stop you crying
I was listening to the music on the radio (*)
I had a feeling that something's not right
The music was loud, we could still hear the crowd
From the gig that we played that night
We pulled into a motorway restaurant
Stopped awhile, fooled around
But I still had a feeling that something's not right
'Cause we're standing in a whole in the ground
Stop, get out (**)
We are the strong arm of the law
Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law
Into the night came a blue flashing light
A blast from the siren to make sure
But it came to a stop behind the motorway cop
Who'd been tailing us for more than an hour
He pulled us out of the car on the side of the road
He questioned us one at a time
Where is the gear that we know that you use
We said the only speed we use is on cars
(Repeat **)
You should've seen the stupid smirk drop from his face
It was a negative exercise
The way that we dress and the things that we do
They thought it was an easy bust
(Repeat *)
Sixth form can't get out at night (*)
They keep them in, it's an awful sin
Should set them free and let them roam
The lights inside their dormitory
When they go black you sneak away
The plans are set but don't go yet
They run down town to join the crowds (**)
They're leaving school behind
They meet the boys from the factory
They're staying out all night, all night
Sixth form girls they're looking good
Skin tight jeans
They're out for fun
They drink wine late at night
Meet some man who'll make them laugh
Buy them drinks and make a pass
Take them back to a penthouse flat
(Repeat **)
Sixth form girls take their pick of men
They're learning fast the ways of love
Just sixteen, teenage dream
(Repeat *)
White Line fever
Takes me high
Another city
Another lie
Another town
Another face
Another woman to take your place
Catch the bullet
Ride the storm
Drive me crazy 'till the dawn
Like an eagle flying high
Look for freedom in the sky
She's a rock 'n roll gypsy
Don't go breaking my heart
She's a rock 'n roll gypsy
She's gonna tear me apart
Rollin' thunder
Movin' on
Another time
Another song
Another room
Another night
Another dream
Another fight
Keep on movin' down the line
Gypsy woman on my mind
Ask no questions tell no lies
See the answers in my eyes
She's a rock 'n roll gypsy
Don't go breaking my heart
She's a rock 'n roll gypsy
She's gonna tear me apart
(Hey gypsy, you're breakin' my heart,
Tear me apart)

She's a rock 'n roll gypsy
Don't go breaking my heart
She's a rock 'n roll gypsy
Hey baby, why don't ya come and ride with me
Like a bullet I'm the fastest thing you've ever seen
Hey mamma can you hear the monster scream
Feel the power riding in my mean machine
Just me and my machine out on the highway
Just me and my machine I'll take you tonight
To the redline
Like lighting it's the only way I get my fun
Don't stop me I gotta let my motor run
Sensation running up and down my spine
Celebration streaking past the winning line
Just me and my machine out on the highway
Just me and my machine I'll take you tonight
To the redline
Hey baby, why don't ya come and ride with me
Like a bullet I'm the fastest thing you've ever seen

Hit me with the thunder
Tear this place apart
Can't wait a minute longer
Let the music start
I'm running with the tiger
I'm about to kill
Can't wait a minute longer
I wanna feel the thrill
Come on ride the rebel
Raise the Texas yell
Dancing with the Devil
We're gonna raise some hell
Riding on a stallion
The axe is gonna rule
Can you feel the fury
Screaming down on you
Showing you no mercy
We're gonna make you burn
Waiting for the lightning
You're never gonna learn
Come on ride the rebel
Raise the Texas yell
Dancing with the Devil
We're gonna raise some hell
(We're gonna raise some hell tonight)
Raise some hell
Raise some hell
Raise some hell
Raise some hell
Outlaw of the highway
Branded by the law
You're dancing with the devil
Make the dragon roar
Children of the future
Hear the rebel yell
Don't wait until tomorrow
You're gonna burn in hell
Come on ride the rebel
Raise the Texas yell
Dancing with the Devil
We're gonna raise some hell
(We're gonna raise some hell)
Raise some hell tonight
Too late now, you wait now
You're out of time
New face now, your place now
Is that a crime
Stop talkin', keep walkin'
You missed the sign
You made your choice
It's too late now
You threw it all away
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
Control you, involve you
You can't deny
You move me, surround me
You mystify
Can't stand it, won't make it
Just pass me by
You made your choice
It's too late now
You threw it all away
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
Too late now, you wait now
You're out of time
New face now, your place now
Is that a crime
Stop talking, keep walking
You missed the sign
You made your choice
It's too late now
You threw it all away
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
You're just a prisoner
She used to be an ironhorse
Twenty years ago
Used to bring the mail to me
Through the ice and snow
I've sat alone and watched her
Steaming through the night
Ninety tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky
She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky
Speeding, sparks like lightning
Engine working hard
Furnace on the foot plate
Shining in the night
Iron striking metal
The sound of racing steel
It's all I ever wanna hear
It's music to my ears
She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky
She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky
Ninety tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky
Steaming red hot pistons
See the wheels flash by
Hear the whistle blowing
Streaking down the track
If I ever had my way
I'd bring the princess back one day
She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky
I was driving down the highway my music playing loud
I drove into a truckstop stepped up feelin' proud
The stupid gas attendant said "stop that fucking row"
There's always someone somewhere who'll try and turn you down
So if you need some action and nothing comes around
Don't call the doctor turn up the sound
Play it loud
In your neighbourhood
Play it loud
In your neighbourhood
I was lying on the beach taking the rays
Listening to Deep Purple reminiscing of old days
I was hassled by a lifeguard so I kicked him to the ground
There's always someone somewhere who'll try and turn you down
So if you need some action and nothing comes around
Don't call the doctor turn up the sound
Play it loud
In your neighbourhood
Play it loud
In your neighbourhood
I'm sick of people saying our music is too loud
They never stop complaining, try to turn us down
But if you want it louder we'll turn it up full blast
They'll never stop the music they're living in the past
So if you need some action and nothing comes around
Don't call the doctor turn up the sound
Play it loud
In your neighbourhood
(Repeat to end)
And The Bands Played On
Just before dawn in the cold light
We came out of the night
A great expectation from the man who ran the show
Will it rain, will it snow, will it shine, we don't know
Are there clouds up in the sky
We sat in the sun, woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
See the people, feel the power
There was sixty thousand there
Just like thunder the crowds began to roar
Where you there, did ya know, did ya see all the show
There was magic in the air
We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
See the rainbow shining brightly
Shooting rockets to the sky
Making music and it rolled on through the night
You could hear on the air rock n' roll everywhere
We were strangers in the night
We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
How come every time you feel real good
Somebody drops you a piss off bomb?
How come every time you roll the dice
Somebody offers you the wrong advice?
Oh no, not again, just when I'm feeling happy
Oh no, not again, just when you're feeling fine
Take it slow, don't go fast
Looking good never lasts
Different day, same old song
Then somebody drops you a piss off bomb
In and out, round about, try to sort your feelings out
Can you see the full moon rising?
Break the spell, ring the bell, trapped inside your private hell
Can't you see the far horizon?
Down, down, drag you down, just when you're feeling happy
Down, down, drag you down, just when you're feeling fine
Take it slow, don't go fast
Looking good never lasts
Different day, same old song
Then somebody drops you a piss off bomb
How come every time you feel real good
Somebody drops you a piss off bomb?
How come every time you roll the dice
Somebody offers you the wrong advice?
'Round, 'round, turn you 'round, just when you're feeling happy
Down, down, drag you down, just when you're feeling fine
Take it slow, don't go fast
Looking good never lasts
Different day, same old song
I was born on the back streets
On the rotten side of town
I never had me nothin'
Just people puttin' me down
Living on the darkside
Across the railroad track
Leaving wasn't easy
But I'm never going back
Never surrender
When you're up against the world
Never surrender
Stand up fight them all
Never surrender
When you're up against the world
Never surrender
Stand up fight them all
I'm sticking in the fast lane
I never wanna quit
I'm taking all my chances
I'm gonna take 'em quick
I started at the bottom
But I'm headed to the top
Ain't nobody gonna hold me back
'Cause I'm never gonna stop
Never surrender
When you're up against the world
Never surrender
Stand up fight them all
Never surrender
When you're up against the world
Never surrender
Stand up fight them all
I was born on the back streets
On the rotten side of town
I never had me nothin'
Just people puttin' me down
I'm living on the darkside
Across the railroad track
Leaving wasn't easy
But I'm never going back
Never surrender
When you're up against the world
Never surrender
Stand up fight them all
There's a fire in the sky
There's a feeling in the air
When the ground starts to tremble
The first attack is here
You won't stand a chance
When the missiles start to fly
They never tell the people
Till the holocaust is here
When the fire's in the sky
You'll be running for your lives
When the fire's in the sky
Prepare yourselves to die
Where, where are the shelters
They said they would be there
You'll need, need some protection
>From the radiation flare
Don't, don't start a panic
It won't do you no good
You'll just have to wait
For the end of all mankind
If you're near the point of impact
There's nowhere you can run
If the heatwave don't get you
The shockwave surely will
There won't be no more heroes
There's no one left to fight
It's the end of our planet
... eternal sight
When the fire's in the sky
You'll be running for your lives
When the fire's in the sky
Prepare yourselves to die
When the fire's in the sky
You'll be running for your lives
When the fire's in the sky
Prepare yourselves to die
On your feet !
I wanna see the whole place jumpin'
Ya, c'mon baby, can you feel the heat
Move up close the boys are out to get ya
'Cause we don't care just what you got in mind
I said -
Everybody up
Everybody, everybody up
I said -
Everybody up
erybody, everybody up
Stand in line we're about to rock you
We all know what you came here for
Stamp your feet this place is really rockin'
Rip it off, I wanna see some more
I said -
Everybody up
Everybody, everybody up
I said -
Everybody up
Ever
ybody, everybody up
Up all night we've been getting crazy
Going down 'till you're satisfied
Raise your hands, shout and let me know
I wanna see you wasted from the show
I said -
Everybody up
Everybody, everybody up
I said -
Everybody up
Everybody
, everybody up
I said -
Everybody up
Everybody, everybody up
I said -
Everybody up
Down on main street the scene was set
They check out the fuel turn the radio on
Open the gates, assemble the gun
Wait at the red, for the president's run
The world was shocked that fateful day (*)
A young man's lot was blown away, away
Dallas 1 p.m., 1 p.m.
Right and left in the back of the head
Screaming confusion, shots rip the air
Cadillac racing, cops on the run
They couldn't believe the president's hit
The shooting stunned as I seemed to run
Is he dead, no-one will say
Around the world the news was flashed
We sat and watched your tragic history
(Repeat *)
The world was shocked
In Dallas 1 p.m.
We sat and watched
Tragic history
The world was shocked
In Dallas 1 p.m.

Send for the General, there's witches to burn
The day of your judgment draws nigh
In torment and torture, the bringer of pain
Disciples of Satan will die
And tell me your secrets, bring them to me
Give your confession, your soul will be free
No one is safe from the purging of fire
You'll rue the day that you send for the Witchfinder General
Accusing the innocent, prey on the weak
It's not just their souls that you seek
Your friends will not help you, they stand back in fear
Hide when the General is near
Trial is by water, no one can win
Drowned and you're innocent, guilty you swim
The gallows are waiting, they're lighting the fire
There's no release from the monster's desire
Tell me your secrets, bring them to me
Give your confession, your soul will be free
There's no escape from the purging of fire
You'll rue the day that you send for the Witchfinder General
Witchfinder General
Send for the General, there's witches to burn
The day of their judgment draws nigh
In torment and torture, the bringer of pain
Disciples of Satan will die
And tell me your secrets, give them to me
Give your confession, your soul will be free
No one is safe from the purging of fire
You'll rue the day that you send for the Witchfinder General
Witchfinder General
Witchfinder General
When my foots on the throttle there's no looking back
I leave the motor tickin' over when she's back on the track
I've got a 68 Chevy with pipes on the side
You know she's my idea of beauty, that's what I drive
She's got wheels, wheels of steel
She's got wheels of steel
Wheels of steel
Talking 'bout my wheels of steel
I don't take no jibe from the motorway pigs
When I'm crusin' down the freeway I don't get no lifts
If you see me coming get out of my way
You know a Trans Am didn't, I blew it away
She's got wheels, wheels of steel
She's got wheels of steel
Wheels of steel
My my my my wheels of steel
I'm burnin' aviation fuel my foot's to the floor
Ya know she's crusin one-forty she'd do even more
I'm burnin' solid rubber I don't take no bull
'Cause my wheels of steel are rolling
They're rolling your way
She's got wheels, wheels of steel
Wheels of steel
My my my wheels of steel
Wheels of steel
Talking 'bout my wheels of steel
I'm burnin aviation fuel my foot's to the floor
Ya know she's crusin' one-forty she'd do even more
I'm burnin' solid rubber I don't take no bull (shit)
'Cause my wheels of steel are rolling
If you're comin' come quick
She's got wheels, wheels of steel

Talking 'bout my wheels of steel
Wheels of steel
Wheels of steel

Ever since I was a young boy
I turned towards the sky
I know there's something out there
A message in the stars
When the night is black
And the dark is dark
I stand and watch your lights
I long to be there with you
And join you in your flights
I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Calling to you
I wrote off to the government
For I got no reply
They tell us there's no cover up
But I don't believe their lies
Fifty billion planets
There's gotta be some life
Don't tell me I'm the only one
Standing in the night
I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Calling to you
I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Calling to you
Ever since I was a young boy
I turned towards the sky
I know there's something out there
A message in the stars
When the night is black
And the dark is dark
I stand and watch your lights
I long to be there with you
And join you in your flights
I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Calling to you
I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Calling to you
I've been watching
Watching the sky
I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
They land on your shore
Kick down your door
Invaders from over the sea
They rape and they slaughter
Your wives and your daughter
Pillage the wealth from your land
Where do they come from these warrior hoards
When their death and destruction to you
They come with the thunder
To kill and to plunder
Pillage the wealth from your land
So build you defenses against the invader
The tyrant from over the sea
Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered
Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered
The village is peaceful
No sign of danger
People at work in the fields
Then they hit you like lightning
Screaming and fighting
Gunning you down in the wheat
Over the border
The raiding marauder
Carry this wealth to the sea
So you bury your dead
Put out the fires
But the death will be back with the tide
So build you defenses against the invader
The tyrant from over the sea
Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered
Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered
They land on your shore
Kick down your door
Invaders from over the sea
They rape and they slaughter
Your wives and your daughter
Pillage the wealth from your land
Where do they come from these warrior hoards
When their death and destruction to you
They come with the thunder
To steal and to plunder
Spilling your blood on the ground
So build you defenses against the invader
The tyrant from over the sea
Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered
Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered
Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered
How long must I stay
How long must I go on
Taking my chances on burning away
Don't take away my daylight
Don't take away my dream
Why must I go (*)
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
Will I make the morning (**)
To see another day
The Gods may come at midnight
They're taking me away
I'm waiting here on death row
I pray for my reprieve
(Repeat *)
The chaplain and the gardener (***)
Have told me how to die
I've used up all my chances
Now's the time to cry
For I can hear the footsteps
The lights have just gone dim
I'm on the final journey

A single silent bullet
Flying through the air
Will it find it's target
Fate will take it there
Who's name is written on it
No one has a clue
Will it find a victim
Could be you
I have seen the angel, the messenger of death
Riding out across the crimson sky
He comes to take another soul away from the sanctuary
He who plays the game must surely die
But someone has to pay the ferryman
To sail across the sea of life
Someone has to pay the ferryman
To sail across the sea of life
Sea of life
Sea of life
Your life is held in balance
On a slender silken thread
Weaving through the tapestries of time
We can walk the road together
Can you take me by the hand
Maybe we can find your promised land
I can hear the darkness falling somewhere in the night
Reaching out across the cold black sky
Could this be a twist of fate your written destiny
Or could the angel simply pass you by
Someone has to pay the ferryman
To sail across the sea of life
Someone has to pay the ferryman
To sail across the sea of life
Sea of life
Sea of life
Someone has to pay the ferryman
To sail across the sea of life
To sail across the sea of life
A single silent bullet
Flying through the air
Will it find it's target
Fate will take it there
Who's name is written on it
No one has a clue
Will it find a victim
Could be you
Could be you
Could be you
Could be you
Could be, could be you
Sea of life
Could be you
Sea of life
Could be, could be you
Sea of life
Could be you
Sea of life
Could be you
Sea of life
Could be you
Sea of life
Could be, could be you
Sea of life
Could be, could be
Could be you
Excitement in the air
There's a journey to prepare
They check the food and water's all on board
They're waiting for the tide
The sails are open wide
They're sailing to a better place to dwell
They're sailing to America
Fly the banners high
They're sailing to America
Set the rigging high
The quayside's full of friends
A farewell in their hands
No-one knows if they'll reach the shore
As Plymouth slips away
They'll not be back again
They're sailing off towards the promised land
They're sailing to America
Fly the banners high
They're sailing to America
Set the rigging high
They're sailing to America
Fly the banners high
The Mayflower's on her way
Set sail for many days
The lookout searching for the distant shore
Anchored in the surf
Their journey's at an end
The pilgrims set their feet on virgin land
They're sailing to America
Fly the banners high
They're sailing to America
Danger, danger, there's something in the air
Faster, faster, be careful, you better beware
I had a dream last night, that I saw you burn
There's someone screaming out, screaming out the words
Run for your lives, they set the place on fire
Run for your lives, the flames are getting higher
Burning, burning, fire in the night
Higher, higher, the flames are shining bright
I've got nowhere to run, I was blinded by the light
There's someone screaming out, screaming in the night
Run for your lives, they set the place on fire
Run for your lives, the flames are getting higher
And they were singing
Alay-oh-oh (Repeat)
Danger, danger, there's something in the air
Faster, faster, be careful, you better beware
I had a dream last night, that I saw you burn
There's someone screaming out, screaming out the words
Run for your lives, they set the place on fire
Run for your lives, the flames are getting higher
Run for your lives, they set the place on fire
Run for your lives, the flames are getting higher
And they were singing
Well, you're brought up on the street
Did ya make it on your own
Are ya living in the shadow
Crawling in the night
Sleeping in the subway
Beggin' for a fight
Makes ya grow up hard boy

You can keep you sympathy

Standing on the corner

I can hear you call out my name
I see the flashing lights
Cutting through the night
The spotlight is shining on you
I've always been around
I'll never let you down
I've seen it through right from the start
We'll be rockin' together, rockin' again
We'll be rockin' together, rockin' again
I'm standing in the dark
Let the music start
I can hear you call out my name
We'll be rockin' together, rockin' again (rockin' again)
We'll be rockin' together, rockin' again
Do what you wanna do tonight
We're gonna make you feel alright

We'll be rockin' together, rockin' again (rockin' again)
We'll be rockin' together, rockin' again (rockin' again)
Rockin' again
Rockin' again
Ride the silver eagle out of JFK
Up the eastern seaboard destination Portland Maine
When we saw the people at the concert hall
The seats were for five thousand
It made us feel so small
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
On our journey 'cross the States
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
Right on through the USA
Stopped off at Niagara taking pictures of the falls
Tried to cross the border were accosted by the law
People down in Texas from the red hot burning sun
They couldn't stand the heatwave
But we just kept rollin' on
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
On our journey 'cross the States
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
Right on through the USA
Driving into Nashville on the highway interstate
Had a holdup on the freeway we end up being late
Flew into Chicago but we never heard the blues
Played some rock 'n' roll there then down to Batton Rouge
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
On our journey 'cross the States
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
Right on through the USA
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
On our journey 'cross the States
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
Right on through the USA
At the end of .. tour
We made alot of friends there
We see them on the ?
As we .... we won't forget the days
We rode the silver eagle right across the USA
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
On our journey 'cross the States
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
Right on through the USA
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
On our journey 'cross the States
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
Right on through the USA
Midnight rider
Move in to the front underhanded fire
Hear the bullets flying millions every hour
Tracers in the night shooting across the sky
For Gods sake cover me I don't wanna die
Machine gun
Machine gun
Machine gun
Machine gun
Over the top into the wire
Running like a madman into the fire
No ..?... fighting for your life
Fighting hand to hand forced to use your knife
Machine gun
Machine gun
Machine gun
Machine gun
Come the wheels of terror ...?...
Chews you to the bone to hear the monsters roar
With the clash of iron the battles never won
For the forgotten soldier it's only just begun
Machine gun
Machine gun
Machine gun
Machine gun
It's gonna shoot you down
Move in to the front underhanded fire
Hear the bullets flying millions every hour
Tracers in the night shooting across the sky
For Gods sake cover me I don't wanna die
Machine gun
Machine gun
Machine gun
Machine gun
Come the wheels of terror ...?...
Chews you to the bone to hear the monsters roar
With the clash of iron the battles never won
For the forgotten soldier it's only just begun

Live to rock
When I was a boy I didn’t know what I should do They said get an education you got to forget about the blues But I was hooked on rock and roll I got a demon in my soul I was waiting for the day when I could break away
You gotta live to rock never stop live to rock you gotta blow your top
I could have been a soldier I could have been a lawyer I could have been a teacher what about a preacher but I got new foryou I just dig these Rhythm and blues I got one thing to say you got to let the music play
You gotta live to rock never stop live to rock you gotta blow your top
Just follow the rules that’s what they said to me you got to get an education forget about the blues but I was hooked on rock and roll I got a demon in my soul I got one thing to say you got to let the music play
Once was a sailor
Ship of the line
Came to my duty
Serving my time
Far, far away from you I must go
Never to return, I do not know
If I return to tell you my tale
I'll sing of gun smoke and blood stained sails
Stand by my shipmates
We will not fall
Jolly Jack Tars
They came down from the north
To the plough they were forged
On the traces of a man who'd been before
Right up from the street
Came the ranks of unemployed
Then everything became the hungry years
They searched the hungry years (*)
For the triumphs by the fears
There's a chance they had to take
They were waiting for a break
They searched the hungry years
For the triumphs by the fears
Some make it to the stars
Playing rock and roll guitars
Playing rock and roll guitars
They read under the lights (**)
To the jews and to the whites
The systems gonna change and understand them
The business world is deep
For a percentage of the heat
There was magic in the eyes
They couldn't see the lies
They watched it slowly die
(Repeat *)
Some take the fame
And some take the blame
Maybe they will and maybe they won't
Tonight...
(Repeat **)
Jenny lived at home a perfect little home
She had everything a girl could ever dream of
Only one thing wrong she had a restless heart
She was looking for some love and understanding
Then Billy came along and sang his rebel song
She could see in him something to belive in
And then they fell in love they couldn¹t help themselves
But will her family understand their reasons
Bridge
Just let your feelings take control of you
Follow your heart and don¹t let go
Chorus
Two lovers one heartbeat
Keep running keep hiding
Surviving together
You¹ve got to hold on
She had a blazing row her father threw her out
He didn¹t understand how much she really loved him
He knew he¹d gone too far she¹s never coming back
His stupid pride has sent her running to another
She laid in Billy¹s arms she wished for better times
They made a vow that they would always be together
He¹d take her far away she¹d be his wife one day
She had a dream that they¹d be happy ever after
Bridge
Chorus
Guitar solo
They had a perfect life a little baby girl
She was growing up the double of her mother
Only one thing wrong she had a restless heart
She was looking for some love and understanding
The words her father said they echoed in her head
Would she be the one to drive her to another
Would Billy come along and sing his rebel song
Would she see in him something to belive in

Crusader, crusader, please take me with you
The battle lies far to the east
Crusader, crusader, don't leave me alone
I want to ride out on your quest
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, to stand by your side
To fight with you over the sea
They're calling, they're calling, I have to be there
The holy land has to be free
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
With all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
We're marching, we're marching, to a land far from home
No one can say who'll return
For Christendom's sake, we'll take our revenge
On the pagans from out of the east
We Christians are coming, with swords held on high
United by faith and the cause
The Saracen heathen will soon taste our steel
Our standards will rise 'cross the land
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
With all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
To battle, to battle, the Saracen hordes
We follow the warrior king
Onward, ride onward, into the fight
We carry the sign of the cross
Warlords of England, Knights of the Realm
Spilling their blood in the sand
Crusader, crusader, the legend is born
The future will honour your deeds
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
With all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
(Come Crusader let battle commence)
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Take a plane, take a pill
Need some sleep, feel like hell
In my suitcase that's my life
Thoughts of you cut me like a knife
Gone, gone, gone, gone down
that lonely road
But it won't be long until I'm coming home
Another ticket, another town
These lonely miles, they just take me down
On this highway going anywhere
I hear your voice when there's no one there
Gone, gone, gone, gone down
that lonely road
But it won't be long until I'm coming home
Take a boat, take a train
Need some comfort just to ease the pain
Out my window I sit and stare
The days drag by, baby when you're not there
Gone, gone, gone, gone down
that lonely road
Driving riding keep the throttle open wide
Pounding hounding feel the beating deep inside
Flag goes up you get down
Beat the lights hear the sound
Turbo charge let it flow
Hold on tight and don¹t let go
Chorus
Burning wheels of fire
Racing to the fire
Bring the glory down on you
Burning turning screaming down the quarter mile
Racing chasing put the pressure on the dial nitro burn keep it clean
Down the straight like a dream
In your machine speed machine
Chorus
Guitar solo
Grinding winding drop the clutch and let her fly
Speeding leading feel the seconds ticking by
Beat the clock take your turn
Feel the heat start the burn
Hit the gas heart the roar
Kick the pedal to the floor
Guess Who? You Bitches Is Ri-Ri(Lum)
