LOVE IS FOREVER


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:22

I don't want to settle down
Stop my heart and turn around
Rebel nature, just got to be free
I'm in the right place, right place to be


Washers, dryers, dealers, and souls
Looking into the fire
Flat caps, whippets, lovers, and wives
Balanced out on the wire
And she said
Love is forever babe
Love is a tool
Servant for Jesus
A slave for a fool


I look out through love's back door
I escape but not any more
Revelation help me see
I'm in the wrong place, the wrong place to be


Washers dryers dealers and souls
Looking up to rise higher
Flat caps whippets lovers and wives
Balanced out on the wire


And she said
Love is forever babe
Love is a tool
Servant for Jesus
Slave for a fool
Love is for worshipped
Love is a test
Love is a firebrand burnin'
A hole in her breast
Love is ..


Washers dryers dealers and souls
Looking into the fire
Flat caps, whippets, lovers and wives,
Balanced out on the wire
And she said
Love is forever babe
Love is a tool
Servant for jesus
Slave for a fool
Love is for worship
Love is a test
Love is the firebrand burning
A hole in her breast
Love is a blossom
Love is a lie
She said be careful boy
This ain't no wild cherry pie
Love is forever, love is forever, love is forever



UNRAVELED


(Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 4:16

Yes she will be beautiful
And you will be vain
When the honeymoon is over
She will suck out your brain


Give me back my life
Give me back my call
Simply set me free
Stop banging my head on the wall


Put a black hat on me
Take out a voodoo bone
And the scars across my ceiling
They paint a picture to the great unknown


I'm coming unraveled
Spinning out of control
Becoming unstable
It's taking its toll


And the lamps keeps sliding
Across the kitchen floor
And there's something to remember
Is this the life of a cross-cut saw


And I'm coming unraveled
Spinning out of control
I'm becoming unstable
I'm still paying the toll


Great expectations will have a glitch
Searching for power, may kill the bitch
Theater of pain
Love or lust in vain
Unraveled again!


Give me back my life,
Give me back my call
Simply set me free,
stop banging my head on the wall


She will be beautiful,
And you will be vain
When the honeymoon is over,
she will suck out your brain


I'm coming unraveled,
Spinning out of control
I'm becoming unstable,
And I can't, I can't let go


Coming unraveled,
Spinning out of control
Becoming unstable
Nobody, nobody knows
I'm coming unraveled,
Spinning out of control
Becoming unstable,
I can't, I can't let go



MISS THE LIGHTS


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:43

Walking tall, full of tedious charm,
The smoothest (???) in (???)
The mission boys all cross their palms
Don't you know who I am


I guess you miss the lights? Huh!
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name


Little Caesar is prince of the city
???
In this town there's no pity
This man stands alone


I guess you miss the lights - ha!
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name


Sometimes when you're all alone
and the blue turns to gray
Better get down on those pinky knees,
and you start to pray


I guess you miss the lights - ha!
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Kiss-kissing your name


A glimmering ?, A twilight star
And so much love for show,
A returning wave from the gallery bar
And share the afterglow


I guess you miss the lights
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name
Ha!


I guess you miss the lights
I guess you miss the fame, haha!
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name


I guess you miss the lights
I guess you miss everybody
Kiss-kissing your name



MIDNIGHT TRAIN


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:55

Oh my darling will you come to me
Shaking now just like a willow tree
So tell me what's the story
This track we'll ride to glory
Coming home


Pretty Karla and her Russian clothes
Clapboard house and a different nose
Love keeps a candle burning
These steel wheels are turning
Back for home


Come in out of the rain
Come out of the night
Out on the midnight train
Midnight train
Come out of the light
Come out of the rain
Riding the midnight train
Midnight train


Moscow lights, well they dim and glow
The taste is sweeter than its driven snow
So tell me what's the story
This track to ride to glory
Coming home


Come out of the rain, come out of the lights,
Out on the midnight train, midnight train
Come out of the lights, come out in the rain,
riding the midnight train, midnight train


Oh my darling will you come to me
Shaking now just like a willow tree


Come out of the lights, come out in the rain,
Riding the midnight train, midnight train
Out of the rain, live again, riding the midnight train, midnight train
Come of the lights, into the rain, riding the midnight train, midnight train
One little strange, come back again



FOOL'S GOLD


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 5:35

Fool's gold, sparkling like the midnight sun
Fool's gold, touch the ivory handles on my gun
(sold out to me?), Charlatans and thieves
(so wrong not to see?), Jokers and the priests?
Fool's gold, stranded on a (point gloss?) Sea
Fool's gold, nothing here and nothing to see
(sold out to me?), The weasels and the feared
(and it's so wrong not to see?), The ghosts of the disappeared
All gone away..


Sometimes, when I'm touched by love, by hate, or by the grace of God
Sometimes, in the dark when hope is fading,
Or no longer flies,
I won't sympathize
Spend my time getting high


Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a Christmas tree
Tired of living on my own, someone came and take me home


Sometimes, this jungle life is boring, pawing,
Ready for a feast, someone kill the beast
Outside, streets are teeming, breathing heavy,
Ready to explode, my brother's heavy load,
What you reap is what you sow


Someone came to rescue me
Lit up like a Christmas tree
Stranded here on my own
Someone came to take me home


Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a Christmas tree
When I'm out here on my own, someone came and took me home


Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a Christmas tree
Stranded here on my own, someone came and took me home



IN THE MIDDLE OF MADNESS


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 3:47

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


???


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



SMELL OF MONEY


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 3:42

One more day, with a tumble fall,
Down the money pit, with nothing to show
Hey hey yeah
Another twist, in the horror tale
It's an open coffin, that needs one more nail
Smell of money


Maybe I'm a victim, (Soft silk and bamboo?)
Maybe it's the smell of money
Attracts me to you..
Hey hey yeah money


Two clean shirts
I'm out on bail
As the barroom baits
They start to wail
The smell of money


Maybe I'm a victim, (Soft silk and bamboo?)
Maybe it's the smell of money,
that brings me to you


Stretched out across the ceiling
?? Domes shimmer and glow
Golden citadels
While the autumn wind billows and flows


Dancing nights, in the lost and found
Move really nice to that money sound


Smell of money, smell of money,
smell of money, smell of money
I need
I bleed



RISE AGAIN


(Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 4:27

Going to Jamaica,
Warm and coral waters flow
There she goes
Sun kissed her body, in this magic feel love grow,
Love grows
Feel like letting go


Hey Mr. Saturday night
?? Right out the hole
It stops in a minute,
It's right down in it
Hey, we're really back on a roll


I don't know why, I don't know why
Feel so good I could die, I could die
Great escape, I'll be there, by the skin of my teeth, on a wish and a prayer
With a head full of hammers, both feet in the grave, I'm gonna stand I'm gonna rise again


Dream time (Lavinia??),
Even though the odds are stacked, she's coming back
(moon monkeys barking?) In a bitter chocolate glow,
There she goes, feel like letting go..


Hey, Mr. Cool jazz nights, let the fever go,
It stops in a minute, I'm down in it
Hey, play it long and slow
I don't know why, I don't know why,
Feels so good I could die, I could die,
With a great escape, I'll be there, by the skin of my teeth on a wish and a prayer
With a head full of hammers, both feet in the grave, I'm gonna stand I'm gonna rise again


With a great escape, I'll be there, by the skin of my teeth on a wish and a prayer
With a head full of hammers both feet in the grave, I'm gonna stand I'm gonna rise again
I've been stricken, I'll be there, by the skin of my teeth on a wish and a prayer, and I'm
Not going down, both feet in the grave, I'm gonna stand I'm gonna rise again.


Dream time (Lavinia??)
Feel like letting go.



SERENADE


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:58

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


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


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



COWBOY JOE


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:13

I'm not looking to change your mind,
There's a place, call it home
It's no secret, the world unwinds
Maybe now you're not alone


It's just another day
in the life of Cowboy Joe
Straitlaced to the bone
(This story will not play?)


You take the wheel and play the chance
Suddenly the room's divided
As in the way of true romance
It's always undecided


It's just another day
in the life of cowboy Joe
Shipwrecked to the bay
(This story will not play?)


Every time he climbs back up
Smacked down with a dime
It's evens or odds now
Just ran out of time


Love's a struggle, there's a fight
No bone of contention
So unhappy, well here's the bite
That's the mother of invention


It's just another day
In the life of cowboy Joe
Strange place to play


It's just another day
in the life of cowboy Joe



THE WORLD AND HIS DOG


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 3:34

Windows are closing, you smell the track
Traffic is heavy
Up riding the rack
Bodies are buried, freeways and wells
Boneyards with vistas
Gateways to hell


When it's all over,
You'll frown and fret
Way down the line
Where no angels tread


Soldiers are gathering, not missing a beat
A poetry reading, while reaping the wheat
Out looking for Venus
She's black marble on ice
Cut to precision
Weighted like dice


When it's all over, You'll frown and fret
Way down the line, where no angels tread
Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't
The world and his dog, won't care if you don't


When it's all over,
You'll frown and fret
Way down the line, where no angels tread
Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't
The world and his dog won't care if you don't


When it's all over,
You'll frown and fret
Way down the line, where no angels tread
