ONLY YOU CAN ROCK ME
(Michael Schenker/Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 4:08
Who's takin' time out
We'll take your shout out
We're the boys, we got nothin' to lose
I've had enough now of school stuff now
You ain't with us then it's just bad news
Only you can rock me, rock me
Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kickin' off just like a hurricane
We can't wait from day to day
Cause we've got somethin' to say
We can't wait from day to day
Cause we've got somethin' to say
Come out on the street now
On every corner
Breakin' out and we're doin' what we wanna
Just like a jewel shines in the night
She burns so hot out under the street light
Only you can rock me, rock me
Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kickin' off just like a hurricane
We are here and there's no end We'll keep on comin' again
We are here and there's no end We'll just keep comin' again
NATURAL THING
(Schenker/Mogg/Way) 4:00
Said she came from Memphis
You can look but please don't touch
Didn't like rock and rollers
Seemed a bit much too much
Cause it's the natural thing ,feelin' the star
The Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, got up a star
Then she'll never let you go
Hey girl, now does it feel allright 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
I been down to Atlanta, Got to move my feet
Gettin' down before the last call
With every star she meets
PUSHED TO THE LIMIT
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 3:48
Put your feet up maybe let the world pass by
Keep off the street, go away and wait to die
What you don't see is what life means to me
My woman says it ain't right
For a man my age to fight
She don't get it
She ain't in it
I'm pushed to the limit
Two clean shirts, I'm puffing on an old cigar
I still love women, sex and fancy cars
What you don't conceive is just what I believe
My doctor says it ain't right
For a man my age to fight
He don't get it
he ain't in it
I'm pushed to the limit
Is it nice and cozy, sitting there in your evening chair
Is your paper pressed like your string vest
It's enough to make you rip out your hair
Relations sit and wring their hands
How long will I survive
Here's the cherry, there's more spunk left
Kiss my arse, I'm still alive
You keep it nice and quiet boy, but please don't pacify me
I'm just not ready for the shade of an old oak tree
What you don't see is what life means to me
And my dad's an angry man, sometimes like Desparate Dan
And he gets it
And he's in it
He's pushed to the limit
My doctor says it ain't right
For a man my age to fight
He says put out the light
He don't get it
He ain't in it
I'm pushed to the limit
WRITTEN IN THE SAND
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Leif Sundin) 3:29
I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another day
You really pushed it to the limit
I got stuck in yesterday
She's got all I want in the palm of her hand
And our fate is written in the sand
Written in the sand
I don't wanna wait forever
I just need you here today
Guess you found your little heaven
When your soul got swept away
She's got all I want in the palm of her hand
And our fate is written in the sand
Written in the sand
On a distant planet
Somewhere far away
It's too much to handle
When you're miles away
I can't seem to stand it
When it's gone astray
I got stuck in yesterday
She's got all I want in the palm of her hand
And our fate is written in the sand
She's got all I want in the palm of her hand
And our fate is written in the sand
Written in the sand
PILOT OF YOUR SOUL
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Kelly Keeling) 4:25
Slow down
Can't you see you're moving too fast?
I believe you're headed down
Too high
You're gonna crash
So late and it's been such a long time
Through extremes and sinking too low
To satisfy your senses only
Going surely against the flow
Let the pilot of your soul guide you
When you're broken and there's nowhere to turn
There is always one more try
Bear the fight
Hold on
Even though you've only a thread
I believe there's hope for you listen
Better off alive
So read between the lines
Is it clearer?
You climb the walls and hope for the truth
Closing in is just an illusion
Does the mirror claim that it's you?
Let the pilot of your soul guide you
When you're broken and there's nowhere to turn
There is always one more try
Bear the fight
You can bear it
Always one more try
THE MESS I'VE MADE
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Kelly Keeling) 5:02
I have faith in love
For a long time it was gone
Maybe it's catching up with me
I may not have you
But I've got this day to share
No longer in the deep cold summer freeze
If I never make it back
Remember that I love you
And that the sun is still shining down on you
I may be home tomorrow
It may be another year
What a mess I've made
Ramblin' and travelling
Ever since I've known
Where the road's been always good to me
That's where I met you
Some things will never change
Sometimes that's the only place I can
Never get some peace
I've been waiting for the sun to shine
And it's finally sneaking through
What's missing is your touch
And your loving ways
What a mess I've made
Look at the mess
There's an aching in my heart since we've parted
And it's crying only out for you
Oh my love meet me down the road
FAT CITY N.O.
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Kelly Keeling) 4:16
Gone through a lot for my freedom
Lost a life along the way
Left home everything I own
As I headed out to join the charade
Got caught up with the wild and the madness
May have gone too far I must confess
I must confess
My money hid away in the gas tank
Gotta keep it steady no joke no mistake
Soon I'll be telling you to hold on
Strapped in my four forty Hemmy burning
Long live Fat City
Got nothing to lose
White blue down the avenue
It's worth everything I know
Lone live Fat City
Out blowing a fuse
Set this town alight
I found my way out the backstreet
Glad to be alive
A hundred more mile I'll be long gone
No more fighting or scrapes to survive
Up ahead says rest for riders
Headlights maybe red lights beware
I look into my rear view mirror
They're closer than they do appear
Another minute I'll be far away
Another second I'll be shifting gears
Paid a lot for my freedom
I never wondered why
Memory's clear and reminds me daily
It was so close but I passed them by
There was a space by the policeman
Gunshots all around over my head
Look into my rear view mirror
Closer than they will appear
Another minute I'll be far away
Another second I'll be shifting gears
Set it alight
Set this town alight
ON AND ON
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Gary Barden) 4:43
A kiss of the wind, then the spirits let fly
To the coldness of sun
I got no place to hide, nowhere to run!
When the wind gets high and the mountains sigh
I've got to get back home the wind don't wait for
No one, no one at all
Moves on and on etc.
Look behind the window winter's come?
Blood on the streets, when the black skies shout
And then people cry no more
Dreams just fade away, realities soar
The only crime is his fate
Can't think, can't relate
Illusions seized His mind
The key to all the answers are locked in his eyes!
Moves on and on,etc
Look behind the Window, Winter's coming?
ATTACK OF THE MAD AXEMAN
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Gary Barden) 4:18
Sneaking round the back streets
Don't stay out to late
cause he's got something he want's to give to you
He calls in his dreams, with his phantom screams
Hide from the shadows in the night
Only day will save you,
Gotta watch the attack of the mad axeman
He can take you anytime he pleases
He wants to make you bleed,
Around town his laughter sounds
Deep into the night, that flash of knife in the
Flickering lights for you
He knows when he's down
But he's got to have more
Cause he thrives on excess celebration!
Time after time, in the wings, you can see him
He's only looking for fun, in his dreams; Ah..
Watch the attack of the mad axeman!
ASSAULT ATTACK
(Michael Schenker, Graham Bonnet, Chris Glen, Ted McKenna) 4:16
You put me down,That's what I said
I hit the clouds and you kicked me in the head
Ain't that a strange thing for you to do I'll never get it now together we were new
I don't need this, you don't want that
I wonder when you're gonna get upon my back
You'd better keep me just while you may
You'd better stick around or get out the way
Why don't you want me
You cannot know
Why love me
Then go
Just straighten out your head and mind
Forget about the things that make you draw the line
Don't want to take warnings from you
Can't have much more of this What are you tryin' to do
Why don't you want me
You cannot know
Why love me
Then go
Why don't you want me
You cannot know
Why love me
Then go
There's got to be some other way
It's time to work it out
Turn it blue from grey
Your cutting out is cutting in
We have no time to bleed the blood is running thin
I don't need this you don't want that
I wonder where you're gonna get on the track
You'd better keep me just where you may
You'd better stick around until you're on the way
Why don't you want me
You cannot know
Why love me
Then go
Why don't you want me
You cannot know
Why love me
Then go
ANOTHER PIECE OF MEAT
(Herman Rarebell/Rudolf Schenker) 3:31
Met her down at that Tokyo place
Loved her pretty face
I said: "Hey, you're alright, so alright!"
I was sitting in her car
She told me: "You're a star and I know you"
She said: "Take me home
I need love so strong
Come on and knock me out, oh!
I've been too long alone
I want hot love, you know, and I need it now!"
She said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show
You're just another piece, another piece of meat"
She said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show
You're just another piece -
Another piece of meat"
Next day she took me out
To a rough kick boxing show
Violence really turned her on, oh no
She was screaming for more blood
Loved it more than any drug I couldn't stand it
I said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show
You're just another piece, another piece of meat"
Said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show
You're just another piece -
Another piece of meat"
LOVE NEVER DIES
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Leif Sundin) 5:45
I've been looking for a reason
I've been looking for a clue
How to help me keep the promise
I once made to you
* When I feel the cold wind blowing
On your endless desert miles
No matter where you're going
Love never dies, never dies
I've been stayin' on the wild side
Ever since you went away
I've been going on a night ride
Looking for a better day
When you feel the four winds blowing
On your endless desert miles
No matter where you're going
Love never dies, never dies
You can try to find a miracle
You can wish upon a star
When you dive into the wishing well
Just open your heart
When I feel the cold wind blowing
On your endless desert miles
No matter where you're going
Love never dies, never dies
I've been walking on the thin line
Between the right and wrong
I've been looking for a street sign
To lead me back where I belong
When you hear the four winds calling
On your endless desert miles
Remember when you're falling
Love never dies
When I feel the cold wind blowing
On your endless desert miles
No matter where you're going
Love never dies, never dies
LOVE TO LOVE
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 7:38
Oh, it's been too many times
And I can't go back
Night bars, -guitars, rundown motels like shacks
What it amounts up to I don't want it at all
I lost you and I want you today
Misty green and blue
Oh, to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Oh, to love to love you
Oh, to be something
To be near you
Don't say that you'll never know
Oh, to love to love you
Half the time it could seem funny
The other half is just too sad
This west bound moon's only rise and fall
I lost you and I want you today
Misty green and blue
Oh, to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Oh, to love to love you
To be something
To be near you
I don't know where I'm goin' to
I've tried and I need you to stay
TOO HOT TO HANDLE
(Mogg/Way) 3:36
Caught in the crossfire, warning fight
Let's just make our break game
Swept up by the road in waves of the night
Paper Chase for fame
But 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 feelers run high
The rock and roll malaise
But I ain't no romance
And I ain't no soul 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
La la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
La la la la, keep on coming
Do it once but never the same
La la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
I'm in your town, won't fool around
I'll make some at your step
Just like the story says, these boys are bad So keep out of shootin' range
La la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
La la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
LIGHTS OUT
(Schenker/Mogg/Way/Parker) 4:31
Wind blows back, and the frightened 'Titan
Whines all the way
Out to the fun all night long
Maybe now your time has come
From the back streets there's a rumblin'
Smell of anarchy
No more nice time, Black boy shoe shines
High in the sky Dreams
Lights out, lights out London
Hold on tight til the end
Better now you know you'll never
Wait til tomorrow
Lights out, lights Out London
Hold on tight til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run
Heaven help those who help themselves
That's the way it goes
Frightnin' thoughts we've once been taught
And now it shows
Lights out, lights out London
Hold on tight til the end
Better now you know you'll never
Wait til tomorrow
Lights out, lights Out London
Hold on tight til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run
Lights out, lights out London
Hold on tight til the end
Better now you know you'll never
Wait til tomorrow
Lights out, lights Out London
Hold on tight til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run
You keep callin', there's no endin'
Tried a thousand times
Under your feet the grass is growing
Time we say goodbye
Lights out, lights out London
Hold on tight til the end
Better now you know you'll never
Wait til tomorrow
Lights out, lights Out London
Hold on tight til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run
Lights out, lights out in London
Lights out, lights out in London
DOCTOR DOCTOR
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phil Mogg) 5:56
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
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, 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 strength, and I can't take any more
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run Far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run So far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run Far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run So far away from you
ROCK BOTTOM
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 6:28
Seventeen the nature's queen, know what I mean
Twenty one, the lone 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
Shadow earth is closin in above the
Lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin' down for you to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by the hands on your clock
Heaven don't just know where when, you can knock
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
With all darkness closing in
Will the light reveal your soul?
Just one sweet kiss on your clay cold lip's
I know sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go
Where do we go from here?
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
