OUTLAW MAN


(Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 4:01

I came out of the fifties now that's when men were men
I am like the red red rooster, always couping hens
I guess that I'm a rereity some call a dying breed
I am a macho bronco stallion call me Mr Seed


I'm a rocker I'm a rocker
I'm a rolling stone
I'm a rocker I'm a rocker
I'm one big bone
I'm a rocker I'm a rocker
Motorcycle man - love don't fit in a can


When you're talking Elvis,well I saw him yesterday
He touched me on the shoulder asked me if he could play
I buttered up my ducktail, put on my long black drape
I polished up my Bonniville to make those girlies gape


I'm one of lifes miracles
I have my fate in my hands
I see my colours before me
I am the outlaw man


Jimmy Dean was riding next to me and Steve McQueen
And we're burning up the street now
And we're looking pretty mean
I'm not living in the past and I'm not history
I'm here to set the records straight, unlock this mystery



QUICKSILVER RIDER


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:08

I see the ravens eyes, and I see the lights
I saw the gold rush San Francisco nights
I am the reader, a palmist fly
I can see the future, I can testify


I knew Attilla, I met Genghis Khan
Drank with Napoleon, held Nelson in my arms


Quicksilver rider medicine man
A sign of faith children of the damned
Quicksilver rider salamander man
Prophet of the guises with the world in his hands


I've known love I've known pain
Death and sorrow the mighty and the slain
I was created in 10 BC
The sign of life the sign of seed


I met Moses, I know Jezebel
Partied with Nero and Rome burned and fell


Rattle snakes heads and voodoo dolls
It's old religion like ofl creole
I am the dust of time and space
Your darkest nightmare without a face


I saw sunrise from Wynola Gay
Sat down with Ghandi and started to pray



SERENITY (DO WHAT!)


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 6:23

He dosses out here in doorways
Caught between wars
Tells us something is coming, won't reveal more
She shuffles up close beside him
And kisses his ear
I guess all our time is running
Running on fear


And it goes around around around again
Like a magic circle till it comes to the end
Baby we're not looking for eternity
So smile now while you're looking for serenity


Out from the marble palaces kings and queens
Will rejoice their importance of being
Their importance of choice
And as they swung Mussolini like a chime in the breeze
The pope blessed his children in a sea of sleaze


And it comes around around around again
Like a magic circle till it comes to the end
Baby we're not looking for eternity
So smile now while you're looking for serenity


And I still flowers in springtime
Dogs howl at the moon
Now the funeral is leaving to the general's own tune
All the rich and the famous
The don't know who I am
The jokers and the jugglers
Even the prince of Siam



DEAD MAN WALKING


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:33

The enemy is at the door
The enemy within.
Dressed up in the strangest clothes,
Smells of drinking Bombay gin.


There's a dead man walking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a dead man walking
Taking it in before his time is gone.


My father was a Russian Jew
My mother Irish crazy.
I see summer, winter, fall.
When grown men cry like babies.


Wish I never had to leave.
Wish I'd never known.
Wish I could stay here forever.
Watch my garden grow.



SHADOW DANCER


(Schenker/Mogg/Fontano) 4:48

I am back in the circus oh hustling days
I look at the world in a rose coloured haze
Cramp tight bodies jive and girate
Bump and grind to the rhythm of fate


And we spun in the sunlight
Of our long summers day
We kissed the heavens now
It's still a beautiful day


Back on my wall shadow dancer
My hammer headed friends and the puppet girls call
Back on my wall shadow dancer
The dance is coming back, back in my world


Married a model from old Hong Kong
Came to England just a singing my song
This love in a letter sure didn't last
Stamped her passport never saw her arse


And we spun in the sunlight
Of our long summers day
We kissed the heavens now
It's still a beautiful day


Unlucky in life, unlucky in love
No special blessing from above
Fools and horses come to my door
I am the stranger who sleeps on the floor


..And then we all fuck off.



SOMEONE'S GONNA HAVE TO PAY


(Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 5:29

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


Moonshots 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


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


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 pigmys of poison, don't know bad from good



SEA OF FAITH


(Schenker/Mogg/Fontano) 5:50

Say siaynara darling this time goodbye
No bon voyages, it's time to fly
I can see the breakdown coming
Like a twisted wreck
Let's save ourselves the sorrow
Before we hit the deck


From the high plains to the border
All across the land
From the flying of the flag
To lovers kissing hands


You can cover me in roses put nickles on my eyes
There be no tomorrows, no more goodbyes
Sea of faith where did she go
Little diamonds how you shine and glow
Looking at the future I don't know
I am just here to watch the river flow


A street full of whispers, rings like a chinese gong
A room full of would be's whose lives gone wrong
The blues don't exist now just to cleanse your soul
They were made to wake you up
Not to dig a hole


It's something of a tragedy
It would make you weep
When you kiss your love goodnight
Now I see why lovers leap



FIGHTING MAN


(Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 4:32

Hearts of darkness
Falling down, it's raining stones
Fate is driving
Now theres no meat on the bone


There's a hurricane a'coming, what a bitter pill
There's a distant drumming, coming over the hill
She took everything, got my jack in her hand
I was born so now I'm just a fighting man
A fighting man


Cold Wild Turkey
Drives a spike right through my brain
Bar room mothers
Waiting for the gravy train


It's a cold wind a blowing, gone out of control
Time is a running, touching my very soul
She took everything, got my jack in her hand
I was born so now I'm a fighting man
A fighting man


Ashes to ashes trash is still trash
It's only a moment now and we're gone in a flash


No silver lining
Where's the man with the master plan
Hearts of darkness
Spreading out all across this land


There's a hurricane a'coming, what a bitter pill
There's a distant drumming, coming over the hill
She took everything, got my jack in her hand
I was born so now I'm just a fighting man
A fighting man



PERFECT VIEW


(Schenker/Mogg/Fontano) 4:36

My sweet darling night
How the city swings
A little kiss of angels
A little tune of things


And she mesmerizes, captivates
A message for a heart that aches


My thousand dollars ain't going nowhere
And the revelations kiss, tell, and bare
I've got a perfect view of what I want to do
I've got a perfect view am I getting through to you


21 is easy, but I don't know why
There's no difference this bird will fly


And she mesmerizes, captivates
A message for a heart that aches



CROSSING OVER


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:47

I saw 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 looking 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


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


I hear the singing, I hear the shout
The talk of meaning for those in doubt
But amid all the wailing and wringing hands
Everybody thinks does anyone understand
