If I could see you would you still give me
Just hold me tighter and love me maybe
You'll be my thunder, I don't want saving
You don't fool me, oh no you don't fool me
One look at you it's easy to see
oh no you don't fool me, oh babe you don't fool me
I'll play along, just give it to me
You build me up now, you pull me down
You make me come on yeah, keep me around
I'll want to move you, I surely could
You don't fool me, oh no you don't fool me,
one look at you, it's easy to see oh no
you don't fool me, oh babe you don't fool me,
I'll play along, just give it to me
---instrumental---
Just gotta have you, you drive me crazy, tell me you feel it, your honey give me ...
Here burns the fire, I feel your heat
You don't fool me, oh babe you don't fool me
One look at you, it's easy to see
Oh no you don't fool me, oh babe you don't fool me
I'll play along, just give it to me
Oh no you don't fool me, oh babe you don't fool me
One look at you girl, it's easy to see
Oh no you don't fool me, oh babe you don't fool me
I'll play along, just give it to me
Baby you know that there's no choice
I'm tired of hearing my own voice
We can't live on love alone
To find some work I'll have to leave our home
And I know that things look desperate now
But stand by me we'll get through somehow
* Ooh when you touch me it all fades away
Ooh when you hold me I'll make it through another day
Winter's here and it's looking bleak
The snow is falling as we speak
And can we cut back a little more
Something will turn up I'm really sure
So please darlin' keep your faith in me
I'll make it good you wait and see
* Repeat
It's so special, oh so special
'Cos there's always you and me
And we stand alone with our love
So strong, bold and free
It's so special, oh so special
You can't take that away
There's a bond that holds us together
It'll always stay
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Though I'm getting stronger every day
Situations change, I hope and pray
I'm not a man who's afraid to fight
With you beside me I'll see the light
We'll be together, I'm sure it's meant to be
A friend and lover my only loyalty
If nothing else, it's you and me.
Instrumental
Ruby darling's got a crazy walk
The boys love her with that dirty, dirty talk
Singles bar with the broken light
Easy touch, a lady of the night
* ruby darling I need you
Cross my heart and promise to be true
** and you tell me that you can't change
Your life's been set, prearranged
Hold on tight 'til the morning light cause
We belong to the night
Well-known face in every door
Street kids come and try to make a score
Patrol car stopped talk for a while
But they let you go with a warning and a smile
* repeat
** repeat
[instrumental]
** repeat
Life goes on down the streets
Contacts made where the gay boys come to meet
Keep saying it's your last night
Give up this life for me without a fight
* repeat
Well, I've stuck out in your street
And I'm lookin' for some kind of halo
When somebody says to me, boy
She's too young to know
* well, I didn't make your time
I never said you were mine
Don't you think you show
I guess I'll have to teach you how to roll
Met you outside school
When sure no one was lookin'
And your teacher looks at me,
All his envy growin'
* repeat
I said, take it easy baby,
You sure know what's showin'
And I can't help myself
Without your friends all knowin'
* repeat
* repeat
Kid's gettin' tired, hangin' around
So cocksure, thinkin' aloud
Can't get it in (when you) can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
You can't stop a train with just a smile
Stop me at the start only for a while
Hole in my pocket and a hole in my arm
All that's left when life's lost it's charm
This could be for us just any other day
So come on girl, we really got to get away
It's the only chance you'll ever have to change
Or stick in this city will drive you insane
*
Can't win or lose when there's little left to choose
Now 'til next year it'll always be the same
The black backstreets and people who don't know your name
Go with the wind if it'll only carry us away
--instrumental--
Between The Walls
No Lyrics - Instrumental
Caught in the crossfire, warnin' fight
Legends make or break game
Swept up by the rolling waves of the night
The paper chase for fame
I was too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I was too, too hot
Too hot to handle
Wink of an eye, the feelings ran high
A real rock and roll molest
But I ain't no romance
And I ain't no slow chance
Won't get no quick change
*and I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
**sha la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
Sha la la la, keep on coming
Do it once but never the same
[instrumental]
**repeat
I'm in your town, won't fool around
I'll make some action stick
Just like the story says, these boys are bad
So keep out of shootin' range
* repeat
One more time said the lady Jane
walk on in the fire
chinese whispers ringing now
step into the mire
I've been strung out to dry
blowing in the gale
my names been left hanging,
hanging on your nail
all the misfits
are flying like a kite
all of my friends
have come to see the fight
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day
I can hear the Quireboys singing
and it's falling on my ears
I can hear the trumpets playing
running down the years
don't ask me how the world looks
how it looks tonight
I'm gonna be leaving babe
outta here and outta sight
I've been laying down
coming off the rails
I've been chasing shadows
playing Happy trails
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day
Solo
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day
If sometimes
I could make you happy
if sometimes
you're feeling small
the truth is mine just to
do what I wanna do
this love is mine just to
say what I wanna say
Out on this lonely road
cold coffee and a cigarette
making a long distance call
I'm on some losing bet
We're not going down
we're not gonna take it baby
we're not going down
anyway you want it
we're not going down
we just got to be together now
and if you're feeling hollow
Hey, hey now swallow
And if your love's been lost and forsaken
if you've been left
passed up and broken too
the choice is yours just to
be where you wanna be
and the truth is yours just to
see what you wanna see
Out on this lonely road
where the black top never ends
we're racing up the hills
but we're losing it on th bends
We're not going down
we've just gotta be together baby
we're not going down
we ain't gonna take it now
we're not going down
we've gotta be there babe
and if you're feeling hollow
Hey, hey now swallow
you've got to swallow babe
Solo
We're not going down
we've gotta be there together babe
we're not going down
anyway you want it now
We're not going down
we've gotta be there
We're not going down
we've just gotta be together babe
and just your crazy ways
oh there's not an ordinary day
oh no
American beauty
came up and spoke
She touched her toes
and we shared a joke
Taxi's, limos,
power boat glides
Jet skies, mensa,
babes without a ride
You know the revolutions gone now
There's no revolution song
Somewhere down the line
You know on one of Gods good days
Can you hear me,
someone's gonna have to pay
Moonshot, rockets
nineteen sixties cool
Sonny Boy Williamson,
Pope John Paul
The Congo to Vietnam
The Beatles to the Stones
Is nobody left
who's gonna shake those bones?
You know the revolutions gone now
There's no revolution song
Somewhere down the line
You know on one of Gods good days
Can you hear me,
someone's gonna have to pay
Pay all the time
Solo
All of the misfits
all of the scars
All of life's promises
bottled in jars
There's a hum and a howl.
lovers on the run
Tell me what's on offer
from the government scum
Solo
Rats will get richer
and the dirt beg for more
Crumbs on the table
for the world of the poor
News of self worship
fresh from Hollywood
The pygmies of poison,
don't know bad from good
You know the revolutions gone now
There's no revolution song
Somewhere down the line
You know on one of Gods good days
Can you hear me,
someone's gonna have to pay
Oh that's pay all the time
someones got to pay
you ain't walkin'
you ain't talkin'
you got to pay
while i'm looking over your shoulder
Was a fast tough woman, loved to play the clown
You won't do nothin' about it
Break a good boy's resistance down
Know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
She said shoot shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
Trust me like she was worth it
Never knew I was her kill
And two forty five's would do the trick and pay the bills
Know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said shoot shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Holdin' out in my hotel room
Police they finally come
Had her as the prosecution
And my prints upon the gun
Know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said shoot shoot, shoot it boy
Shoot it for me
I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Well, I'm struttin' up and down
Tryin' to get my face in town
Wonderin' the hang where
to turn each time around
Look in your mirror just to see my face
Two way time, baby, it's no disgrace
Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed
Ladies used to dancin' but I move for real
Lookin' for reaction, something you can feel
When ya dance,
I move and they look me in the eye
Two way time, baby, it's no lie
*Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed
*Repeat

Hey hey put me in your pocket for a day
Let me hold the rhythm of your sway
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
Hey hey, I could see the magic in your eyes,
There's a fire beneath these Spanish skies,
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
(instrumental)
Hey hey, let me mix you up a recipe, here's doctor love to give you therapy
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
Out on the beach, blueprint of your soul, with the midnight of the city
A thousand eyes look down from space
(more instrumental)
Hey hey, put me in your pocket for a day, let me hold the rhythm of your sway
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
(more instrumental, fading out eventually)
Quit my job at the 7-11
3-D vision and a glance of heaven
Picked up my six string began to play
Just one touch and it started to say
All your dreams will come true
Lovely mansion with a pool so blue
A red Ferrari and a model for a wife
Oh yes it looks I was born for the good life
* Running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see
Running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see
A thousand motels waiting to trash
TV dinners, well I love that bash
And if you Eddie, just say Hi
This party's open so drop on by
All your dreams will come true
A sunny haven from the Inland Revenue
Hot nights in Paris a chance to dance
Since I signed up I've been living in a trance
* Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
I'm feeling sick like Dawn of the Dead
I've got Marines marching through my head
John-Boy Walton, he's so nice
So come in this must be paradise
All your dreams will come true
That lovely mansion with its pool so blue
A red Ferrari and a model for a wife
Oh yes it looks I was born for the good life
* Repeat
Heaven knows why I'm left here in this place
With the sun up in my eyes
Symbols of the morning coming on
With the love that's got too strong to hold
If I'd been so much wiser then
I would have known which path to choose
Heaven help the lucky ones
Heaven help you
Heard the news come on the radio
About the loves in this escapade
I'd already heard before
Baby, two years ago
Say it's too hard just return
Now it seemed just like a dream
I saw and already seen it
On my TV's screen
Now I could see all these conflicts goin' on
Don't you think you could show some thanks
I just might give you a standin' ovation
A little bit of you runnin' through my bed
Little bit of everything
You know that's what you said
* Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
** And there's your indulgence
And parents try to get you out of these jams
You got that appetite they won't understand
The social life you lead leaves nothin' to desire
Don't wanna see you bleed
But you came on like a liar -Repeat
* Repeat
** Repeat
Wrecked myself to love you
All you want is more
One thing you're after
You just try and score
* Repeat
** Repeat
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please,
oh the mess I'm in
She walked up to me
and really stole my heart
And then she started
to take my body apart
*Livin', lovin', I'm on the run
Far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run
So far away from you
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, I'm goin' fast
Doctor doctor, please,
oh, I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment,
she's turnin' paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please,
oh, the mess I'm in
But you look so angry
as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strain,
and I can't take any more
*Repeat
Hey now!
Pulled up back of the parking lot
This ain't Miss Daisy now, look what I got
.357 and it's primed for time
I'm just 16 but I'm blowing like a wind chime
I get up, I go down
Guess you could say I'm from the wrong side of town
Tank commander in my neighborhood
Well read my lips is this understood
(1) It's your nervous breakdown
It's your teenage shakedown
Your nervous breakdown
(Just one of those things)
I've seen all the movies on the late late show
Clint and Schwarzenegger taught me all I know
So open up and hand the money here
This is the start of an illustrious career
I get up, I go to bed
I sleep good with a price on my head
I love the glamour the girls and the car
From lemonade to Old Courvoisier
(1) Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
I've got to sympathize
You run with all the rest
You've kept on moving but never got the best
And all our yesterdays go sailing out of view
I know there's something left hope you can make it through
Pack It up and go, pack it up and go,
Leftover from the show, just pack it up and go
You made the impact back in 1969
But now move over friend I think you've had your time
And all our yesterdays go sailing out of view
I know there' something left, hope you can make it through
Pack it up and go, pack it up and go, left over from the show just pack it up and go
--instrumental ---
And all our yesterdays go sailing know there's something left
Hope you can make it through
* instrumental ending ---
Living inside a bottle
Strung out on a line
Caught in life's rough and tumble
Blind leading the blind
I wish there was an answer
But she's got such an easy way
And you know you can't leave her
And you know you can stay
* Oh it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
We're hiding from the small talk
And hiding all the pain
With our backs against the wall
Is all this love in vain
* Repeat
When I'm with you you know I try so hard
Not to love you but I keep up my guard
Every single day that goes by
Are we fooling ourselves living a lie
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Please tell me now it's no secret
Is this surrender with defeat
Do you let love pass you by
Walk to a different beat
* Repeat
Guess it's just the same old story
Fool I didn't have a chance
She took me like a house that's burning
Never gave a second glance
Eat 'em up let 'em go and you never
Let your feelings show
She ain't here and you're asking why
Life's a bitch and then you die
Come on lover just let go
Is there something I should know
Was it just one of those nights
Something you don't remember, yeah
Just one of those crazy nights
Something I don't remember
Sitting at the bar drinking beer
Happy hour's over and love's cost me dear
The piano player sits at his stool
He's playing "Feelings" ain't' life cruel
Uptown downtown life's a river
And I wish I could drown
I could still hear those loving sighs
A lesson learnt love's just a lie
I know I made a big mistake
With love there's no even break
There's a price you have to pay
I got the bill when I heard you say
* (Was it) just one of those nights (baby)
Something I don't remember
Just one of those crazy nights
Something you don't remember
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Was it just one of those nights, baby
Something I don't remember
Just one of those crazy nights
Something I don't remember
* Repeat
(Instrumental)
Train arrive sixteen coaches long
Train arrive sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train
Drop my baby and gone
*Train train coming right round the bend
Train train coming right round this bend
Well it took my baby
But it never will again
Train train coming on down the line
Train train rolling on down the line
Well it's bringing my baby
'Cause she's mine oh mine
Mine oh mine, mine oh mine
(Repeat *)
Never again no, no, no never again
Try to make some changes really on the line
Given your religion, never ever time
All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor
Mothers understand it, baby needs some more
Woh, held up to ransom, quick hand and a gun
Just your education, hard to understand
Will the teenage legend make a mark on you?
Make the big time status, a pen will let him through
Mother Mary would you ever really feel the same?
Could you try to understand a wild colonial boy?
Try to make some changes really on the line
Given your religion, never ever time
All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor
Mothers understand it, baby needs some more
Mother Mary would you ever really feel the same?
Well I'm down, face tomorrow
I drown in this fool's sorrow
I hear the lies, who I choose
No alibis, never a trace I'm blue
(1) Well I'm not so proud
Baby I can see
You take my money
And you're laughing at me
(2) (I ain't no clown) (Money money)
And you're no debutante
I wanna give
How much do you want
(3) Money
Look what you've done to me
Money
Hope on a third degree
You 're so dumb
You got all the protection
Number one
But you only intend to clown
(Repeat (3))
You're so cool
Playing glamour glamour
Full of school
But still in emerald
(Repeat (3))
(Repeat (1) )
(Repeat (1) (1))
Money money you think I can't see
Take it all and you're laughing at me
(Repeat (2) )
(1) Come from the land where the wheat is still wheat
Where the waters in the rivers is still water
In this land every man lends a hand when you need it
But your hands are full of life
So you can help yourself and feel it
It's been a long way from the red of my home
>From the valleys and the green plains never ending
Everyone knows that the sun in his land is stronger
And your hands are full of life
If you can only wait just longer
(2) So let it be a small haven big in Your heart
Don't let it turn into an ogre
Tryin' to climb and climb
and forget this place where
I can still find time
To sing in rhyme
(3) Martian landscape.
I'll learn to lie in your arms
Where all the freedom is mine and it comes
Martian landscape,
I'll turn my face to your sun
Where your horizon is mine and it comes
(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
(3) Repeat
Martian landscape
Saturday night, we're all on the lookout for some thrills
Try to catch the band's last song
Backstage pass really showin' out
Feel that's where I belong
Sittin' down with all the big stars at the bar
I really have a rock vocation
From monopedemania to schizophrenia
Rise to any situation
* Of old lost love, where will you go
When the show is over
Nobody wants to know

We need to feel
something that's real
'Cause you're losin' from the start
So be careful with your heart

* Cold run "Speed Highway" was the place where we'd all go
When our nerves were razor sharp, and we'd all let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll
** Our machine's geared up, and we're really layin' it down
Layin' it out, let it roll
When these wheels get rollin'
Let 'em roll right over you
'Cause I'm well greased down, and I'll always win it through
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll

The enemy is at the door
The enemy within.
Dressed up in the strangest clothes,
Smells of drinking Bombay gin.
There's a deadman walking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman walking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.
My father was a Russian Jew
My Irish mother crazy.
I see summer, winter, fall.
When grown men
Cry like babies.
There's a deadman walking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman walking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.
[Solo]
Wish I never had to leave.
Wish I'd never known.
Wish I could stay here forever.
Watch my garden grow.
There's a deadman walking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman walking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.
There's a deadman talking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman talking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.
There's a deadman walking
Deadman walking
High flyers, wailing birds
I'm so far out to sea
Ships are passing every night
Oh, all my boyish dreams
* And your every melody
With the sea tides tossin' free
Never, never holdin' back
Rock and rollers drift by
(instrumental)
Turn to summer, goes so fast
Seems I'll never see you
One weekend and a photograph
Oh, all my boyish dreams
* Repeat
Honey kick your shoes off now
And stay another night
Lets not talk too seriously
We don't wanna fight
Now I don't care about your reputation
Or how you got it made
All I want is for you to stay
Don't want a charade
*and the lights go down
Who you with tonight
It aint so easy holding on
Everything you seem to do babe
Just turns out so wrong
Youre gone in the night
Youre gone in the night
Youre gone in the night
People try to tell you now
About responsibilities
Those married-men dos and don'ts
How it ought to be
But I don't care what they say
Don't wanna hear what's true
As long as you want me baby
You know I need you
* You said that was that but this is it
How were you to make the pieces fit
Into a plan to start a new life
Friends pat your back, then stab you with a knife
** I must be blind I'm gettin' ready to be defined
No [loose connections] cause it feels alright
I'm gettin ready to hit the [line]
Can you fee me Inside and out, I'm just waiting for you
[Cuz] it's alright Now I know just what I want to do
** Repeat
When a day breaks, turns you around
And your world upside down
And the visions fade
Rights and wrongs and just where you've gone
** Repeat
Making out is such an awful drag
And I could lose my mind And every time that I turned around
I never knew if I could really find you
[INSTRUMENTAL]
*Repeat
** Repeat
* On the wires I can hear you comin'
With a rush and a strummin'
This electric phase ain't no teenage craze
In your house a phone is ringin'
Just a hot touch that keeps lingerin'
You said loving's easy only if you please
All I need is communication
Not a line on your reputation
I don't want a handshake
There ain't no big mistake
**There's no illusion in this wild confusion
Who knows I'm crazy, no chance of maybe
I'd like to know you better
But I"m goin' down so fast
Help me now to feel it, I just can't conceal it
Sweet time I've got to show you how it's really got to be
Just let me be alone, left with your dialing tone
** Repeat

Heaven knows that you´re an evil child,
Drive me crazy, drive me wild
Get home from work I don´t feel alright
Go in your bedroom you just want to fight
Moving in, moving out, baby you move my mind about
Don´t give me no reasons don´t give me no lies
Come to take you home from school you´ve broken all the rules
All I need is a bit of your love
All I want is a bit of your love
All I want is a part of you...
Heaven knows that you´re an evil child,
Drive me crazy, drive me wild
Get home from work I don´t feel alright
Go in your bedroom you just want to fight
Moving in, moving out, baby you move my mind about
Don´t give me no reasons don´t give me no lies
Come to take you home from school you´ve broken all the rules
All I need is a bit of your love
All I want is to hold you tight
Lights turn red to green
I haven't been spotted I seen
Four more blocks and Im safe
Make it clean without a chase
There's something special, certain feeling
I can't blow this one for sure
Ive been nervous, anxious and edgy
This ones the last one therell be no more
What Ive got to do tonight
Take the car and meet the man downtown
Its easy darling, working away
Before the words got around
* and I'll do it all for you, oh yes I will
This time Im coming through, oh yeah
I said Im burning, I been rolling
This cars turned up to make it fly
Don't worry darling just get ready
Tonight were gonna be going out in style
If anyone comes calling around
Don't answer cause you're my alibi
So just trust me, kiss me and love me
Chasing the golden mile
* repeat
Kids are cruising on the old shoreline
Goodbye-girls killing time
Feel like soldiers we couldn't wait
Running wild, rushing to our fate
* We kept dreaming, Kids are dreaming
Sleeping rough out on Brighton's beach
A step from the law just out of reach
** We kept dreaming, Dreaming me and you
*** Got a plan we couldn't blow
Nobody cares, nobody knows
Made a stand and played a show
Nobody cares, nobody knows
Hiding in the wrecks of burned out cars
Found a compass on the promenade
Gangs assemble in the old arcade
By looking cool we thought we had it made
* Repeat
We ran wildly against the tide
Nothing much just our teenage pride
** Repeat ***
Repeat

Down the alleys to the old stage door
They heard the band coming through the floor
Eric Burdon and the Animals played
In our minds the impression's made
** Repeat
*** Repeat and fade mixing ** and ***
Is she waiting now
Do you think she really really cares
Is she standing and looking with her hope
Her fingers through her hair
Looking at the future you and me baby
Life lately don't seem like wonderland
Nothing here nothing coming in
Money goes like a wino's gin
Slips through my hands
* (And) I know it ain't easy
I get drunk like a fool
There's a promise I made you darling now
Just one golden rule
** Hold on to this love
'Cos I don't want to lose you
Hold on to this love
'Cos I don't want to lose you
When the lights go down
Do you think she really really cares
As she's lying there with her arms around you
A strange affair
Looking at the lights on Lakeshore Drive
In the Windy City now
Will our love stay alive
Last night I held you in my arms
You looked and said "Baby, we will survive"
And I know it ain't easy
'Cos life gets so cruel
And there's a promise I made you darling now
Just one golden rule
** Repeat
** Repeat
* Repeat
Where you gonna go, who you gonna run to
Who you gonna see tonight babe
What you gonna wear, who you gonna know
Who you gonna see tonight my baby
From the back of a one dollar down
Did you ever think I wouldn't be around
This ain't a stand off ain't no fight
But where you gonna be sleeping tonight?
** Repeat
** Repeat and fade out
Standin' by the roadside, future in my hands
Coat I'm wearing's blowing cold
Turn my back to the wind
Winter mist along the coast
City lights closed down
Your empty station there
Freight line cuts the ground
Freight line cuts the ground
*Crystal light shinin' bright
Shine on down for me
Moon is even passin' by, tryin' not to see
Like a fool I hit that road, did my time at sea
Life was only foolin' me
Oh despair, it bums my lungs,
find' it hard to breath
The hospital shut their gates,
I can't get me no peace
Wicked people stand and scream,
stumble the
road
Close my eyes, turn out the lights
Haven't found a dream, haven't found a dream
* Repeat
* Repeat
Kid's gettin' tired of hangin' around
So cocksure, thingin' aloud
Can't get it in when you can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
You can't stop a train with just a smile
Stop bein' a star only for a while
Hole in my pocket and a hole in my arm
And that's left when life's lost it's charm
This could be for us just any other day
So come on girl, we really got to get away
It's the only chance you'll ever have to take
Stayin' in this city will drive you insane
Kid's gettin' tired of hangin' around
So cocksure, thingin' aloud
Can't get it in when you can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
Can't win or lose when there's little left to choose
Now till next year it'll always be the same
The black, back streets an people who don't know your name
You wake up in the morning
Look for a clue, something new
Turn on the radio and it's as dead
As the visions dying in your head
And when you were young
You had big ideas no hidden fears
You had your heroes they were walkin' tall
Now your devotion seems comical
So now you' got older
And the world's got colder than it used to be
Every day gets longer and turns into the darker night
Down in the gutter nothing seems to matter 'cos you're history
I couldn't get it, I couldn't get it right
You played the game as children
Didn't understand life's not so grand
Love hurts you and you could feel the lonely, lonely one
Some people got it easy
They got it made, so unafraid
You'll be the fool and /fight/find/ the winner he's gonna take it all
* Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
*Repeat
instrumental
* Fast as light our jets were burnin'
On the road a distant siren song
Hands upon my engines growin'
Vincent's[+++] deep throat breathin' out so strong
I can hold her, can you roll her
Ride her like there's no tomorrow
Siren's song sure is growin' stronger
Shadow reached a high note
And in the distance [electric lights]++++ no longer
I can hold her, can you roll her
I can hold her, can you roll her
I can hold her, can you roll her
* Repeat
I can hold her, can you roll her
I can hold her, can you roll her
I can hold her, can you roll her
I can hold her, can you roll her

I'm feelin' static
Nothing's moving here for me
Dead un-romantic
That's the way life's squeezin' me
I get the feelings
When I'm pushed in a situation
Like climbin' ceilings
This is a case of renegotiaion
I ain't the soft touch you think I am
Ain't no pussy to think you care
Between a rock and a hard place
I'll make sure you remember my face
Between a rock and a hard place
You're just something I will erase
I'll tell you something
That you never thought before
When I get dangerous
There's no such thing as outside the law
Let me tell you, for your information
You're gonna need rehabilitation
Between a rock and a hard place
I'll make sure you remember my face
Between a rock and a hard place
You're just something I will replace
There's no giving up, no more losing ground
Hang on in
We're gonna stick around, movin' up
You can't bring me down..
Thought I'd seen some changes
Thought I knew it well
But through my back pages
There's a tale to tell
Guess when I saw you
I didn't have a chance
Though I know her reputation
I know I liked that first dance
Was this a real love
Or just another hot Saturday night?
Was this a real love
Or just another hot Saturday night?
Can't stop from thinkin'
What we could do
Just one night there
I finally knew
Lookin' at the distance
Between you and my heart
I never knew I'd fall
Right from the start
Was this a real love
Or just another hot Saturday night?
Was this a real love
Or just another hot Saturday night?
This is one time you can't walk away-

Yeah, said it's alright, I wont forget
All the times Ive waited patiently for you
And you do just what you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear
Yeah, I heard a funny thing somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost anyone
I think that people are the greatest fun
I heard from Frankie there's trouble at his place
On Highway 95 the police they gave me chase
I was with his sister I hadn't seen a thing
They had an APB just to bring me in
Oh, I had Jenny by my side
Oh, she never told me that she'd lied
If that's the way (that) our love goes
I'll take my chances with you I know
And we'll go the way the wild wind blows
I wasn't gonna stop they'd have to catch me first
And as I ran the red I heard the gunfire burst
Across three counties chasin' me for days
But Judge I didn't know that she was under age
Oh, I had Jenny by my side
Oh, she never told me that she'd lied
Well the judge he was generous and gave me a rest
Of eighteen months in the county's best
And I got a visit from Jenny yesterday
By the time I'm out everything will be OK
Oh, I had Jenny by my side
Oh, she never told me that she'd lied
If that's the way (that) our love goes
I'll take my chances with you I know
And we'll go the way the wild wind blows
She gave me one look
You could see it in her eyes
And we'll go the way the wild wind blows
And while I'm away dream of dreams
That what we had no one had seen
Because we go the way the wild wind blows
And while I'm away dream of dreams
That what we had no one had seen
She told me her story, hoped I would understand
And I listened closely, as anybody can
But there's a distant look that's in her eyes
And as the nights grow longer, alone in bed she cries
My baby met a man on her first date
He stole her heart an' sealed her fate
And she thought she'd found a friend for life
He wanted her but not to be a wife
* La la li, la la li
A fool for love never wonders why
La la li, la la li
She hangs on in but it's just another goodbye
** (Now) every day is like another day
She lets it all drift on away
An' every man is like another man
They come and go but she never can
And from sixteen to thirty-two
She lost her loves and her good looks too
It's so sad to see at first hand
From a teenage beauty to a one night stand
* Repeat
** Repeat twice
[INSTRUMENTAL]
People say I'm a lion at heart
But they don't know what I am
People say that I stand apart
But they just don't understand
* Everynight when the darkness calls
I'll be there at your beck and call
** I'm a fool for you baby
I'm a fool right now
People say I'm a man of means
But my plans are full of holes
People say I'm a holy child
But I'm rich down to my soul
All I need is you close beside me All I need is to satisfy
**Repeat
I'm a fool for you baby
I'm a fool in love
Every mornin' when the sun comes up
And all your dreams, they slip away
I see your face and I understand
You're the only one, only one to make my day, yeah
Everybody say you ain't no good
But I won't believe it's true
They all say I ought to find someone,
but my heart belongs to you
* Repeat
** Repeat

Goin' down to George's where you just have been
To see if you've been boogie-ing, ah you know what I mean
My left leg's dragging my right leg's l imp
My heads so wavy and i can't feel it

I wanna boogie baby, boogie tonight

Little girl, you´re so fine
With that body you gotta be mine
Was a brownie and I was a scout
Baby I never knew how you shook it about
Do me a good deed give me what I need
If you move like that I´ll give you what´s in store
You won´t come back asking me for more
(II)..Too hot ain´t slept so well
Young boys troubles aren´t doing me well
Give me your kisses every night
I wanna shake you and hold you tight,
I wanna shake..

Young boy trouble aren´t doing me well
Give me your kisses every night

If you want me to do everything girl just for you
Change your mind telling me lies
Come and see you in the morning come and see you in the morning
Time after time, told me lies these are things girl which I despise
If I go wrong in your eyes, leave you girl in the morning,
Leave you girl in the morning
As time goes by wish you had never treated me so bad
You know you´re only going to want me back
Far away in the morning far away in the morning
If you want me to do everything girl just for you
Change your mind telling me lies
Come and see you in the morning, come and see you in the morning

Timothy tries but he can´t explain
All of the things that shatter his brain
Comes from the garden shouting and grinning
Hey Timothy where do you come from
Only befriended with Jerry the mouse
Seems to know what Timmy´s talking about
Comes from the garden shouting and grinning
Hey Timothy where do you come from
Does he come from the sky? Does he come from the land
Does he come from the earth? Does he come from the sea? Timothy?

Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need
I don't have no diamond, and I don't have no gold
But I've got a lot of lovin' and I want you to know
That I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need
Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need
Some folk rip and roar, some folk b'lieve in signs
But if you want me, you got to take your time
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need
But I got everything all the good girls need
I ... I love you baby
I ... I love you baby
But I got everything all of the good girls need
And I don't got no diamonds, don't have no gold
Got a lot of lovin' to satisfy your soul

Seventeen a nature's queen, you'll know what I mean
Twenty one, a long one you can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful, lyin' there asleep
With the wings of God above you, before the spirits meet
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
And shadow works is closin' in above lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin' down free to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by the hands on your clock
Heavens door don't open when you knock
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
With all darkness closin' in, will the light reveal your soul?
'Cause one sweet kiss on your clay cold lips
I'll know sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go, where do we go from here?
Just a kid with a crazy dream wants it all before he's seventeen
Don't know where to begin
With a wild thought he knows the fact, no no there's no looking back
Just gotta stand up and make it real
How does it feel to be right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1
Some people make it and others don't try, they seem happy to live out a lie
I'm right here on my own
Me I'm a gambler and I pay for my sins, I've been right there and I'm back again
Just gotta stand up and make it real
How does it feel to be right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1
Let's get away right out of here, it's not soon enough for me
Breaks of a lifetime it's there like a lifeline, reach out and grab it it's free
-- (short instrumental)--
How does it feel right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1

How does it feel right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1
How does it feel...to be out on your own... just gotta
how does it feel to be out on your own, just gotta keep lookin' out for #1
How does it feel to be out etc.
How does it feel
I'm lettin' go now, Don't think I can last
I'm lettin' go now, I've been living too fast
I'm not up in the morning Arid beat the clock at night
it's got so damn predictable, Feel I'm doing time
**Oh no I can't Stand another day
I see those gates a' closing
Caught in the ricochet
Oh no my life's in miniature
I'll be here forever
How much more can a poor boy take
When all he needs is an even break
I'm lettin' go now
Work is driving me crazy
Lettin' go now
Take a lot save me
Started when I was sixteen it's been just like a drug
I'm working every day You'd think I was in love

Gotta give you love oh cherry
dance for me there's only you
play the barrooms just for pennies
Wish I wasn't just passing through
Tell me your secrets, tell me no one way lyin' now
We are golden , We are golden
And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the highways of thei night I roll alone
On the tabletops she's dancing, sit and smile into your beer
Turn around no cherry for me, let me know you know I'm here
We are golden, We are golden
And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the highways of the night, making it feel all right
Come on cherry let's make it together
Out of the neon and into my life
We can't play this game forever, now.....

And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone

Maybe tomorrow
Maybe next week
Oh baby the future looks bleak
I can't believe what's been goin' on
You're never there
You're always gone
A little faith goin' a long way
Always thought that you would stay [? ]
Diggin' for gold
Movin' on, I'm out in the cold

Situation is the classic kind
Caught in this trap, oh love is blind
Friends keep saying that you're bad news
I keep saying how could you choose
[? ] one more time
Just to believe you are mine
At the point of no return
A fool in love, when will I learn

Will go on and on

There's no sign that this love of ours will go on and on
We seem to be so alone
How it feels is nothing new
We're only going through the motions

I'll go back home again
There's nothing left but empty rooms
We're passing through and
It can't end for us too soon
* anyday, anyday
I've got to get up and go
I wanna tear all this down
Breakaway, breakaway
Everyday seems so damn slow
I don't wanna be around
Now my baby sits and stares
The clock spins the hours away
And there's nothing left
For you or I to say
Should be out having fun
How comes we don't anymore
But we been through this
Too many times before
Here comes my coat now
Put it on my head
Before I get to city prone
I ain't no judge
I ain't no diplomat
I don't need no crystal ball
I'm the writer got a front page cover
Hot gossip 'bout who's with their latest lover
I write all chapters by the second scene
I call the shots, don't need a Fleet Street team
I am a writer and I'm the news
You cross me you know you're gonna lose
I'll do the story if you're dead or alive
If seconds out or if you're gonna take a dive
Slip out the news or a piece of scandal
Don't toe the line, 'cause nothing's too hot to handle
I am the writer and I'm the news
If you cross me you know you're gonna lose
Yeah you're gonna lose
I am a writer and I am the news
If you cross me you know you're gonna lose
And where you are it's because of me
'Cause overnight you know it don't come free
I'll put you up there or I'll bring you down
'Cause nothing moves without me in this town
I am a writer and I am the news
If you cross me you know you're gonna lose
Boy you're gonna lose
I said you're gonna lose
I write the news
I am the news
Got to, got to lose
Oh yeah you're gonna lose
Lady love to hang on
Played it like a real intellectual
Sweet sister your still shaking
And your tragedy is never ending
Silver shoes you're wearing
Every window there you've ever stared in
Over my head, over my head
Sidewalks of the city
Every theater there you've ever played
Your comic book impersonations

The night riders giving all they got
While the girls look so good at looking bad

Valentino looks for something new
Escapes for the night and waits his cue
And I love the way they make their move
Yes I love the way they're makin moves
Kids clothe armour hands like battle dress
Got his act down, some kind of feeling
And tonight they're gonna make the run
Downtown, call the garrison
From the back roads through the alleys it screams
You gotta get a feeling mean, mean, mean
And I love the way they make their move
Yes I love the way they're makin moves

Rockface going nowhere fast
Some gonna make it, some don't even last
Just one night they don't give a damn
Im the star , hides another sham

And I love the way they make their move
Yes I love the way they make you move
Ooh I love I just love the way they make their move

Now here's an invitation
It's on page 33
Attractive and exciting female
Must be looking for someone like me
Looking through your magazine
Now here's a cryptic clue
Yes the river is swollen
This one could be, could be for you
Come on lover pickup the phone
02900 in the Twilight Zone
Oh she let's the good times roll
Come on baby now free my soul
Oh she lets the good times roll
Heat it up and just let me go
A knight in shining armor
Honest and sincere
That's the way I'll word it now
Oh! plus a good career
Sticky situations
They will fade away
Place an ad in this column
And find a love you pray
Come on baby pick up the phone
Dial my number in the twilight zone
Oh she lets the good time roll
Take it real fast or you can take it slow
Oh she let's the good time roll
Just pump it up now let me go
[INSTRUMENTAL]
(1) Oh she lets the good times roll
She takes it fast or you can take it slow
Oh she lets the good times roll
Now heat it up babe just don't let go
Two lovers in a desperate game
She holds him close but their loves in vain
And the married man that you laid
Goes back home to his own charade
She puts her faith in every word he said
Tender moments in a motel bed
When you press the point he says well see
But then walks to his mystery
* so darling you tell me it's a wild world
You gotta take a little pain and
How long will love last that you can
Never, never explain
** do you just
Let it rain, let it rain
Don't stop those tears falling again just
Let it rain, let it rain
Now you see that loves just a game
In his arms time goes so fast
But stolen love will never last
You try to keep him though you know it's wrong
This kind of love can only last so long
[short instrumental]

hear they hung the jailer
The messenger is dead
The piano player's singing
To the lovers in his bed
This road is winding back
And there's no end in sight
No sign of our dead Lord
To guide us through this starless night
And through every open doorway
You can choose
And sometimes you win it
And sometimes you lose
This one's for Rosaleen
With a bullet through a breast
This one's for you, my uninvited guest
Oh now my beauty lies
So deep in her sleep
Will some angel keep her spirit sweet
And the simple things to say
Don't always work out that way
The touching of our souls
They don't drift away
I am going, I am going to Kingston town
Fine Spanish lace and a wedding gown
I am going, I am going to Kingston town
Don't you really love her, don't you really care
You've been looking forever, how did she get you there
In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon
Isn't she so pretty, isn't she so fine
Haven't you been blessed to hold her all the time
In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon
(can't figure out this part)
(instrumental)
Have you found a heaven, try to see the worth,
Looking at the future, she's right here on earth
In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon
In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon
Last train's eleven, it's now quarter past
Why're you tryin' to make the evenin' move so fast
And I'm in real trouble but I can't go back home
They locked the doors and I'm left out alone
You can come to my place and sleep on the couch
Lots of people do it and we won't leave you out
Hard times out on the street
Hard times, hard to beat
The painted lies they all hand you
I'm a loser on the road
I'm a loser on the road, yeah
Euston station and it's cold as ice
All night specials, they move you on
But me and Ginger over there
We got this thing where we really take care
You can come to my place and sleep on the couch
Lots of people do it and we won't leave you out
Hard times out on the street
Hard times, hard to beat
The painted lies they all hand you

She´s the best girl I´ve ever had, she looks so good she makes me feel sad
Who do you love, who do you love
She gimme kisses every night she gonna make me feel all right
When I ask het what she wanna do, she said to me what you wanna do
Who do you love, who do you love, who dou you love...
Hey little girl what can I do I wanna play house with you
I´m gonna make you feel all right I´m gonna let you stay all night
I just wanna make love to you
Hey, ... who do you love
I´ve a little girl and she´s so fine, no doubt about it she´s all mine
Before I aske her what she wanna do she said to me
Who do you love, who do you love, who do you love...
Who do you, who do you want every night
I´m gonna give you kisses and hold you tight
You look to me for some outstanding meaning
You got the devil in your eyes and nothing in your soul
If you think I'm gonna sell myself, then you must be dreaming
There's no way, I'm gonna fall into your hole
You never seem to help me when I'm bleeding
You gotta knife for a tongue and you're tearing at my heart
I thought you were a friend, but in truth you never liked me
You lied and cheated us from the start
You are wrong, love doesn't last forever
You're nothing new there is no mystery
Now you're gone you thought you were so clever
You and me are now history, we're history...
SOLO
I don't like your face
I don't like your eyes
I don't like your lips, I hate your lies
This time's the last time it's goodbye time
You are wrong, love doesn't last forever
You're nothing new there is no mystery
Now you're gone you thought you were so clever
You and me are now history, we're history...
We're history, we're history
I don't need you and I don't care

I walked through this place, although it wasn´t really there
And when I reached the other side, thought I didn´t really care
I moved round a bit, and started seeing people
And the people that I met, oh were all covered in treacle
Everyone was laughing, evereyone except for poor old me
So I tried to entertain them, oh but they were hard to please
Standin' in the night, I don't know just somewhere
And I'm feeling cold inside about what I see
Give 'em all guns, there's nothin' left- for losers
Time is running out so secretly
This ain't no paradise
The nightmare's on it's way
Insanity appears- in their eyes
Streets on fire- ready or not
Will the goodtimes return- no way!
Streets on fire- ready or not
Will we ever learn- no way!
Echoing sounds of thunder make me shiver
Battlefields turn to wasteland- no one wins
The ghost of terror creeping, through the cities
And someone says it's a holy war
This ain't no paradise...
Streets on fire- ready or not...
SOLO
Humans will always fight
The same shit everywhere
East or west, the same desires
Will always haunt the earth
SOLO
Well she struck like lightning
Sent the blood rushing to my head
And she was so exciting
I took a walk I didn't have to be led
* and I had my highlights, I had it all
I thought that life was my crystal ball
Now there's a highway running
She drove a truck right through my life
** I jumped in to the burnin fire
Led by lust and my desire
I jumped in to the burnin fire
Led by lust my desire
Well I was born a preacher
Fire and brimstone Im a baptist man
She was gods own creature
What she didn't know you wouldn't understand now
* repeat
** repeat
[instrumental]
Well she skipped across the floor
And she looked so fine
With her hair flowing back
I thought she was mine
I dreamed on in my own head
Now lord I wish I was dead
** repeat
** repeat
I jumped in, I jumped in
To the burnin fire
And you don't win
I jumped in, I jumped in
To the burnin fire
Joey rides the subway
Fast from east to west
On the street he's number one
Some say that he's the best
Got something going on
In a honky tonk down town
He is expected
Word has got around
The other-side of midnight
Or in the combat zone
Meeting no resistance
Joe stands alone
Night riders prowling
Out into the night
There's someone else out there
And they're looking for a fight
Between the rain soaked buildings
A distant whistle blows
Fate lies in waiting
It's hand it never shows
(1) Heart beating like a drum
Out in this wasteland
And there's no place baby for us to run.
(In) Jungle land (baby)
Jungle land, jungle land
Jungle land, jungle land
Under the railway arches
Someone calls his name
Streams out the words
Come on boy this ain't no game
One flash of bright cold steel
In a stranger's hand
Kids dance away like shadows
There's no one to command
Joey's got his name
Painted on the walls
On the side of buses
Subways and tenement halls
(Repeat (1))
Jungle land, jungle land
Jungle land, jungle land
Jungle land, jungle land
Said she came from Memphis
You can look but, please don?t touch
Didn't like rock and rollers
It seemed a bit much too much
'Cause it?s the natural thing, you feel at the start
Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, you get at the start
Then she?ll never let you go
Hey girl, now does it feel alright
Think I?m gettin' through
Don?t you think the band?s real tight
Wait till we start to move
May sound funny, but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny, but you gave it to me
And now I got to live without it
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
I been down to Atlanta
Got to move my feet
Gettin' down for the last encore
With every star she meets
'Cause it?s the natural thing, you feel at the start
Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, you get at the start
Then she?ll never let you go
Hey girl, now does it feel alright
Think I?m gettin' through
Don?t you think the band?s real tight
Wait till we start to move
May sound funny, but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny, but you gave it to me
And now I got to live without it
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
May sound funny, but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny, but you gave it to me
And now I got to live without it
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it? yeah
Oh, God, why?d you do it?
Don't bust up my heart, my home, now
Don't make me ill
Don't stay around now,
No, don't you linger, don't waste my time
Don't block my light,
Don't stay here another night.
You're a waste of space and a waste of time
Get out of my house, get out of my mind
Get up! Hit the road! Get up you heavy load.
Sick out of your head
I'm sick of you messing up the bed
Get up! Move it out!
Get up, you little lout.
Sick out of your head
I'm sick of you messing up the bed
What have I done to deserve this?
Where did I go wrong?
Why did I stop instead of moving along?
Trouble with you is you don't listen anymore
Trouble with me is I don't care any more
It's all gone wrong in so little time
You can take whats yours, you can leave what's mine
I'm sick of you messing up the bed
I'm sick of you messing up the bed
I'm sick of you messing up the bed
I'm sick of you messing up the bed
Im lettin go now, don't think I can last
Im lettin go now, Ive been living too fast
Im not up in the morning arid beat the clock at night
Its got so damn predictable, feel Im doing time
**oh no I can't stand another day
I see those gates a closing
Caught in the ricochet
Oh no my lifes in miniature
Ill be here forever
How much more can a poor boy take
When all he needs is an even break
Im lettin go now
Work is driving me crazy
Lettin go now
Take a lot save me
Started when I was sixteen it's been just like a drug
From liner notes
The tide crashed on the shore
As he held her in his arms
They swore their love would stay forever more
And never slip away
From this moment on
As they made their wedding vows
He knew how life would change, oh
Love was blind for now
Hey, but knock, knock, knock
Put the chain on the door
She's back again and now she wants more
Knock, knock, knock
The thief's back to steal
The shirt off my back, my next meal
I'm not living anymore
I'm just breathing day to day
Everything I had has gone, she has taken it away
Heaven's door has opened and looked me in the eye
And there is no Mt. Olympus, just before you die
Knock, knock, knock
She's got the house and the car
The only thing left is my old guitar
Knock, knock, knock
Her foot's in the door
The shirt's off my back, now she wants more
And tonight on T.V. well they show a happy pair
I almost wept with laughter
As some fool caught the bouquet the bride threw in the air
(instrumental)
At the final curtain call, in the neon light display
I see all the ugly scars that illuminate my day
And hail the promised land, it's upped and gone to bed
Bleeding hearts and mothers weeping
Sometimes I wish her dead
Repeat (1)
Hey, but knock, knock, knock
Put the chain on the door
She's back again and now she wants more
Knock, knock, knock
The thief's back to steal
You knock me out you're like a well oiled Smith & Wesson
Hot & Ready, ready to use
Dressed to the nines, you know you don't look 15, there's no question
Hot & Ready, ready to use
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe
Don't need I.D. and there's no house detective to crowd you...
Hot & Ready, ready to use
Slip in the back door and slip out of what ever your into
Hot & Ready, ready to use
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe (2x)
---(instrumental)---
I'm coming through, I've gotta get to you babe (2x)
First changing mirrors
Fly up on the wall
Hi honking honey
This is my call
Oh I'm changing faces
I guess I'm Mr. Hyde
It was a hard heavenly body
It was a hard heavenly body
Burning like a bush fire
Sinking in the mire
I trapped her like a birdie
Caught her in the wire
And when it all comes down babe
I am left sitting on your fire
It was a hard heavenly body
It was a hard heavenly body
I am stuck down here in the street
With a Chinese bone
And Chinese feet
It was a hard heavenly body
It was a hard heavenly body
It was a hard heavenly body
Oh I'm changing faces
Can you hear me
We ain't about to quit boy
The bands back in town, alright
And you can all juice off
Show me a mountain, show me the top
Show me a woman that just can't stop
Hey baby set me free
Well I'm stuck down here in the cellar
I got shotgun in my hand
Somewhere my baby's going blind
And it's hard being me, Hard being me
I'm dizzy like a monkey on a tree
Hard being me It's hard being me
I'm a crazy man
I got wounds and cuts, Shining like dimes in my eyes
Somewhere my baby's going blind
Sometimes I wonder, Sometimes I confuse
Oh baby we can loose, Oh my baby's going blind
And it's hard being me, Hard being me
I'm dizzy like a monkey on a tree
Hard being me, hard being me
I'm shaking like a leaf
Strange is that how we look
In my house now it's an open book
Strange that's a place
We don't go there and we don't leave a trace
Well it's out of my pocket
Out of control
I am still in love with you baby
So is it
Goodbye you Goodbye me
Goodbye you Goodbye me
Goodbye you Is It Goodbye me
Goodbye you Goodbye me
Strange we still touch
Do we hold on now far too much
Strange is that a gift from above
Oh how we live
And it's out of my pocket
It's out of control
I still love you to my very soul
Is it
Goodbye you Goodbye me
Goodbye you Goodbye me
Goodbye you Is It Goodbye me
I hear the jukebox on its full playback
Her high-heeled shoes go clickity-clack
Sweet, sweet Suzy dress way low
Does a dance just to let you know
(1) You wanna feel it, feel it
Breaks your heart if you don't leave her alone
Feel it, feel it
It's one quick walk out in the danger zone
(2) Oooh, it's a love that makes you burn
Oooh, well a promise that you can see
Ooh every head she can she turns
Ooh (well that's love) (when you get that love to keep)
The boys' in Danny's bar and Grill
Swapping stories on the old cheap thrill
But you pick up the air as she walks in
She'll never talk much or try it again
(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
Every night she makes you dream a little more
With a smile that opens every door
In her eyes you'll see the promises
One kiss tells everything
[INSTSRUMENTAL]
(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
Some girls you live with and some you need
This one's the girl that's gonna make you bleed
See her strut she moves from head to toe
What you ain't got she'll never know
You said that was that but this is it
How are you to make the pieces fit
Into a plan to start a new life
Friends pat your back, then stab you with a knife
(2) I must be blind
I'm gettin' ready to redefine
No [loose connections] as it feels right
I'm gettin ready to hit the [line]
Can you fee me
Inside and out, I'm just waiting for you
[Cuz] it's alright
Now I know just what I want to do
(2) Repeat
When a day breaks, turns you around
And your world upside down
And the visions fade
Rights and wrongs and just where you've gone
(2) Repeat
[Pickin' up] is such an awful drag
And I could lose my mind
And every time that I turned around
I never knew if I could really find you
[disputed lyrics in brackets]
Have you ever had the time to see, me and you could change to be
Take a dream away with you live it now and you will see
Found myself on an open road [got no hand] to show the way
Upped and started walking on to a land seemed so far away
After so long felt I was damned then I reached some gates and held a hand
But came to the point of sing and say, laughing people led me in to stay
Their happiness [held me, made me ] strong. I felt this is where I belong
I don't want another day just wanna laugh live sing and say
It's so strange I feel this way, it's so real, it's happening today,
Stop still something burns my body falls I begin to turn
(instrumental verse)
Flying drifting falling down, I found myself beneath the ground,
In a place that's strange to me, the earth is black and there's not a tree
Well its so dark there's not a sound just the feeling of wanting to be found
I must make haste to be gone, in this place I do not belong
I thought I tried to move a foot, I just remained where I stood,
And in the distance I heard aloud the shrill of blank deathly sound
I tried, I tried, I tried to run, but every move I was where I begun,
It's too late, shadows over me blind my eyes I cannot see
All my strength all my love, someone help me please above,
Death will surely take me down, I'll be doomed to live beneath the ground
(instrumental)
[See your two, see your one,] See your tomb, see you run, you fool, you fool your life has just begun
I'm here to taunt and torment you
I can make you do what I want you to
Black it out and drag you down, all kinds of evil wear a crown
Chase you rape you feast upon your hurt, lay your body in the dirt
If I were a fool I'd believe its true but I have no fear of what you can do
See I'm free I can be just anyone that I want to be
Leave me now get out of my way
(instrumental)
[See your two, see your one] See your tomb, see your rock, who are you fooling life's just begun
Here to taunt, to torment you
I can make you do what I want you to,
Knock it out drag you down, all kinds of people were aware of it now?
Chase you rape you feast upon your hurt, lay your body in the dirt
If I were a fool I'd believe its true but I have no fear of what you can do
See I'm free so leave me alone I wanna go my way and be alone
Get out of my sight, get out of my way
(more instrumental)
I'm not through, and I'm on the run, you're the fool my life's not been done
I'll taunt you and I'll torment you
(instrumental)
Have this way with a dream never leave me so it seems
Life by night, life by day, the tale they tell will always stay
Walk the earth, walk the sky, don't let all this time go by
Hang on fast, don't let go or someone else will never know
Ride a road along with me chase a dream we all can see
Don't let bad, just see good it's all that just what you should
No truth will ever come along shine so bright in your eyes
No wide wonder will do that for you, just lock it fast, do what you got to do
Shout it loud, shout out loud just live how you want to be
Show yourself show yourself, live how you got to be
(More instrumental, followed by a verse from Rudyard Kipling's "Gunga Din" taped backwards: "Though I've belted you and flayed you,
by the living God that made you, you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din."
was a blinding light
A sheer tornado of pain
I had a whisky fury
Pounding like the devils rain
Down by the river
It's alright
I've been turning stones
Down by the river
It's alright
Someone's been catching a rabbit
About midnight
Up on a mountain side
I was touching heaven
I was a servant boy
But I was just a killer
Down by the river
I've been turning stones
Down by the river
It's alright
Someone's been catching a rabbit
About midnight
We don't take no prisoners here
Down by the river
Ain't no mystery here
Mystery in this world of mine
Hold on baby
Sometimes I remember my life
The wheels been spinning so long
So many years have passed me by
And the feelings are still running oh so strong
Now something new is here
I'm gonna fly and spread my wings
And still the power, goes, on and on
Don't look back- Don't look back
Don't you ever, now or never, look back
Don't look back- Don't look back
Don't you ever- never look back
Day after day, night after night
Climbing into a new day
And now I think I've found my sight
To go on and never turn away
Now something new...
Don't look back- Don't look back
Don't you ever, now or never, look back
Don't look back- Don't look back
now or never- Don't you ever look back
SOLO
I'm gonna fly and spread my wings
cause still the power goes on and on
I see the lights,
I see the road
I see everything in the
Highway code
I've been whipped
And I've been spun cown
There ain't no religion here
And I'm homeward bound
Wherever you go,
Wherever you are
I am crossing over
To the other side
And now I am waiting for an answer,
Some kind of sign
Looking for a love
To be my guide
I am crossing over
To the other side
Friendships come
And lifetimes go
In their passing to the
Bigger show
The river runs,
The tides will turn
If there's a hell,
Well I've yet to learn
Wherever you go,
Wherever you are
I am crossing over
To the other side
And now I am waiting for an answer,
Some kind of sign
Looking for a love
To be my guide
I am crossing over
To the other side
To dream the dream that's over
Before it's gone
To hold your lover here
While your heart beats so strong
Baby when I love you
When everything is gone
When I'm kissing heaven
This love is never wrong
[Solo]
I hear the singing,
I hear the shout
The talk of meaning
For those in doubt
But amid all the wailing and
The wringing hands
Everybody thinks
Does anyone understand?
Wherever you go,
Wherever you are
I am crossing over
To the other side
And now I am waiting for an answer,
Some kind of sign
Looking for a love
To be my guide
I am crossing over
To the other side
I am crossing over
To the other side
And now I am waiting for an answer,
Some kind of sign
Looking for a love
To be my guide
Cos I am crossing over
Goin´ down to George´s where you just have been
To see if you´ve been boogie-ing, ah you know what I mean
My left leg´s dragging my right leg´s I imp
My head´s so wavy and I can´t feel it
I gotta see you baby, you´ll be alright
I wanna boogie baby, boogie tonight
Well old George is boogie-ing he´s been a boogie-ing with you
Ah I wanna boogie with you baby
I wanna boogie all night long
I wanna move with you, I wanna move
I wanna shake, wanna boogie too
It's another night stuck in here, with the TV on
As John Wayne holds the Alamo, I'm wonderin' where you've gone
I just sit and wait, hope it's not too late
Say there's something left to prove it to you
Outside this house nothing's changed
Our street looks just the same
The things you left I'll keep that way
Till we're together again
When I just start to slip, yes Il lose my grip
I can't believe you're gone, it's really true
(1) Blue, blue, oh baby where are you
Blue, blue, tell me know, it's not true
There's nothing romantic in a tear-drawn goodbye
Oh baby say it's a lie
Panic sets in, I'm an irrational man
If I can't have you nobody can
(1) Repeat
Last night, I heard you talkin
Oh so close, whispering in my ear
All night, till the morning
I kept wishing I could feel you near
When we stood naked at the 4th of July
Moon shot took off, lit up the sky
The Red Sea was parting for the second time
The world at my feet, you were mine, it was..
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Lovin' you was so easy baby
Holdin' on when our luck was down
Sweetest thing that I ever, ever heard
Was "I'll always, always be around"
Blue, blue, oh baby, where are you
I got the information from a friend last night
And it looks so very different in black and white
I was "part of the second party", that was me
Signed away my life, really couldn't see
(1) Blinded by, blinded by a lie
Blinded by, blinded by a lie
I know it's just the price you pay
I know you're nothing
(1) Repeat
Now you listen closely, don't you go away
There's a cut of something, in what I have to say
You keep the full deck from me, "Mr. Percent"
Through the legal jungle, who's the one that's bent?
(1) Repeat
I know it's just the price you pay
I know you've nothin' to say
And oh boy every dog has it's day
I know you'll be the one to pay
[INSTRUMENTAL]
I've worked so hard, like Hyde on the chaos theory
I've found my madness quite complete
No sign of light or love divine intervention
While I was scoring on your street
I am the demon of your darkest thoughts
Wired to self destruct
A greedy, nasty, selfish little man
Who could never have or get too much
But if the very thought makes you shiver
I am just one of the many lost
And I will change the course of the river
And never stop to count the cost
But everythings light on a Sunday
The choir singing all in tune
But such a small congregation
Will someone send up the balloon
Oh I'm a self made man
The fruits of yes you can
Oh I'm a self made man
And I'll take what I can
Out of the darkness and into the light
See the army grow and grow
And like a storm, a reign of terror
This ill wind will blow and blow
Repeat *
I'll take great pride and pleasure in your misery
And delight in your living hell
There's no known act of human kindnes left
My very mother I would sell
I'm not uncouthed, but educated
Now isn't that a scary thing
And elected to a place of power
Well you think you're the queen of texas
Who you foolin now?
Giving off an air of innocence
You aint no sweet little flower
I thought I'd seen some cheatin done
That I'd sung bout in the blues
It wasn't til you met me baby
I got the bad bad news
An its
* all over you, yes it is
All over you
All over you, baby its
All over you
Can you tell me what's the mystery
You try and hide away
Wheres the money come to pay for that
Little adventure anyway
And you made all the right moves baby
You really turned a head
But when I was away from you
You were turning tricks instead
An its
* repeat
[instrumental]
Well I bet your mama doesnt't't know
What her babys into now
And you know how much she can cost
When you pay by the hour
And I guess that you can fool yourself
Oh you do most of the time
But in whose bed do you sleep tonight
Oh babe that's the bottom line
Hey there now big shot well just listen to me
I know the score and it's no great mystery
I hear you talking and it's all been said
But what I'm thinking I keep inside my head
(1) I ain't no baby, so get out of my way
Keep in with your own kind
Ain't none of your business, you got nothing to say
Stay away, forever
You play the cool star it's a dangerous game
Don't forget the street and who gave you your name
Romancin' with the company as they pour in the Pounds
If the Next thing is you and then who are the clowns?
(1) chorus
--instrumental--
(1) chorus
-Long, long year I've sat in this place
Baby, baby, what's good I've had
When you don't know where I wanna go
Find a reason love's left me cold
I've got it, time on my hands
Been drinkin' with the sailor boy
Been tryin' hard to understand
Lines here in my hand
Left me hopin' the wild thoughts I had
My lost feelin' made me so sad
Tried so hard, the smile on my face
Can't get it back a gain, back home with you
* Repeat
* Repeat
