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



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


O


OH MY


(Schenker/Mogg/Way/Parker) 2:24

Well, I'm struttin' up and down
Tryin' to get my face in town
Wonderin' where to hang out each time I turn around
Look in your mirror just to see my face
Two way time, baby, its no disgrace


Oh my, oh how the times have changed
Oh my, oh 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, oh how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed


Oh my, oh how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed


Oh my, oh how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed



ON WITH THE ACTION


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 5:02

Something going on at the corner of the block
It's the kids down there They were startin' to rock
Hot black fever runnin' everyplace
When the Greek kid pulled a knife and pushed it in his face


Some girl makes it with a lover in the dark
As the ambulance pulls away, she cries out more
And it's all night long, all night long


On with the action
Need the fastest legs alive
On with the action
If you can't run you aint gonna survive
On with the action
Mama's boy and teacher's pet
On with the action
It's down our street, is it in yours yet


All the kids stand laughin' They never had such fun
When someone cuts a brown man who just can't make a run
And the queen that's been standin' behind the toilet door
His parents don't like boyfriends, call him a whore
But the minister's starin' with his bible in his hand
Was this God's children, he didn't understand



ONE MORE FOR THE RODEO


(Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 3:45

One more for the rodeo, The old school sixties team
A great new wide awakening, Spews out at the seams
As he lie's cold on the table, A sheet pulled over his head
I turned around to the janitor
And asked him just how long you've been dead


And it's one more for the rodeo
One more for the show
One more pretender who just had to go


All the gods in poolrooms, Blow in from the east
You're so caught up with your principles
It eats you now like a disease
I wish I was invisible, hidden from the crowd
When this cold wind blows down the sidewalk
It leaves me wonderin' how



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



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



OUT IN THE STREET


(Mogg / Way) 5:15

Lady loved to hang on
Lady liked a real intellectual
Sweet sister, you're still shaking
And your tragedy is never ending
Silver shoes you're wearing
Every window that you've ever stared in
Over my head, over my head


Sidewalks of the city
And every theater there you've ever played
Your comic book impersonations
Your wish for cinder embers to keep
Over my head, so it's all
Out in the streets for just one more matinee
Yes, your vaudeville carries on
So put a smile in front your man can see
Yes, your Vaudeville carries on

PACK IT UP


(Michael Schenker/Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 3:14

I've got to sympathize You run with all the rest
You've kept on movin' But never got the best
And now the yesterdays, go sailing out of view
I know there's somethin' 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's something left
Hope you can make it through



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



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

QUEEN OF THE DEEP


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 5:46

Heaven knows why I'm left here in this place
With the sun up, in my eyes
Symbols of the morning comin' on
With a 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 one
Heaven help you


Heard the news come on the radio
About the lives it deserves to claim
I'd already heard before
Maybe, two years ago


Sail is too high to just return
You know it seemed just like a dream
Cause I'd already seen it
On my TV 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
When I'm dead and gone



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

REASONS LOVE


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 3:19

Little bit of you runnin' through my veins
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


Cause always you indulge
And parents try to get you out of these jams
You got that envy cause 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


Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love


Wrecked myself to love you, All you want is more
One thing you're after, You just try and score



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



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.



RUNNING ON EMPTY


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 5:09

I'm running on empty
Feel I'm running dry
I don't have a love life
It'll make a grown man cry


I got an old lady
But we don't touch
I'm looking for some magic
Is that asking too much


White sails and song birds, warm candle light
I don't want Disney, I wanna rock all right


Call me a cynic
You can call me a fool
But I want my life back
I wanna jump in the pool


I need to tango
I got to rock
I wanna little couch dancer
Who can stop my clock


Boxes of chocolate and cold ice cream
It's too much cinamon
it's enough to make you scream


No more pretty words, I've run out of track
No more bland monotony, I'm not going back
A married life can bury you, it's like a disease
I've seen hard men crying and brave men on their knees


Going back to my roots now
To what I know best
Well I need my cherry
And her treasure chest
I got me a dancer
From a personal ad
She do the Watoosee
Come on you color me bad


Ferris wheels and beaches, walks along the sand
Please no candy kisses, just pump me a rocking band


All those pretty words, I've run out of track
All that bland monotony, I'm not going back
A married life can bury you, it's like a disease
I've seen hard men crying, brave men on their knees


Brave men begging please


I'm running on empty
Feel I'm running dry
I don't have a love life
It'll make a grown man cry


I got an old lady
But we don't touch
I'm looking for some magic
Is that asking too much


White sails and song birds, warm candle light
I don't want Disney, I wanna rock all right
