Ace Of Spades
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
You win some, lose some, all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades


Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all the same to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split,
The Ace Of Spades


You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever,
And don't forget the joker!


Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Ace Of Spades

Looking good, stepping out, looking for romance
Crazy arms, crazy legs, save me the last dance
Hold me tight, make me warm, give me shelter
Treat me right, in from the storm, helter skelter
You know the way, the game is tough
Need some motivation, to help you get it up
Chorus:
Cause it's only, love for sale,
Heart of gold and hard as nails
I can't believe it's legal,
To send it through the mail
Only love for sale
Call me up, call me back, call me what you want to
Shoot your shot, shoot the moon, nothing that you can't do
All for me, one for all, shoulder to shoulder
Here and gone, sure like to ball, rock n' roller
You know the way, stuff goes around,
You need a half nelson, to help you get it down
Chorus
Rip it up, rip it out, Shake your money maker
Feels so good, in and out, real earth shaker
Get up close, stroke your bones, get a grip babe
Take a trip, take me home, feel the earth shift babe
You know the way, so get it right
You don't need an airplane, to get you through the night

When I passed you in the doorway
Well, you took me with a glance
I should have took that last bus home
But I asked you for a dance

Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
And my father he's going crazy
He say's I'm living in a trance

But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's all right, all right
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten

Now I won't get out until Sunday
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
Oh but it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end

But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's all right, all right
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

And I'm walking home
The last bus is long gone
But I'm dancing in the moonlight

But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's all right, all right
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's all right, all right
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's all right, all right
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

Who's got the funk
When you're feeling low down
Who's going to love you
When there's no one else around

Who's going to help you
Especially when you're sick
Mother Mary
I need you quick

She knows and she gives her everything
She knows and she can do her thing
She knows and she tries her best
She knows, oh, you know she knows

Who's got the junk
When you're feeling low down
Who's going to give
When there's none to go around

Who's going to help you
When you feel you've had enough
Mother Mary
This time it's rough

But Mother Mary
Do you feel the pain?
I'm falling down
And I can't get up again

Do ya, do ya, do ya
Do ya, do ya, do ya
Just a slide guitar injection

Who's going to help you
Especially when you're ill
Loving Mary
I hope you will

But Mother Mary
Do you feel the pain?
I'm falling down
And I can't get up again

Do ya, do ya, do ya
Do ya, do ya, do ya

Mother Mary, is there nothing you can do?

You don't believe in love
You don't believe in hatred
Put your money in the bank
It's the only way to save it
You try to make a buck
But you haven't made a penny
You need a little luck
But you know you won't get any
You don't believe in God
You don't believe in glory
You've got a brother in the clinic
Tells the same kind of story
If he had another life
He'd know what would be waiting
If he had another soul
He could sell it all to Satan
You don't believe in war
You don't believe in Jesus
Got a sister in New York
She knows how she pleases
Walking the streets
On the south side of the city
Trying to make ends meet
Isn't that a pity...for money

Still In Love With You


Think I'll just fall to pieces
If I don't find something else to do
This sadness never ceases
I'm still in love with you

My head, it keeps on reeling
It's got me in a crazy spin
Darling, darling, darling
Is this the end?

Still in love with you

They say time has a way of healing
Dries all the tears from your eyes
But darling it's this empty feeling
My heart can't disguise

After all that we've been through
I try my best but it's no use
I guess I'll keep on loving you
Is this the end?

Now that it's all over, woman
There's something I think you should know
Baby, baby, think it over
Just one more time before you go

Call on me baby
If there's anything I can do for you
Call on me baby
Help me see it through

I'm still in love with you

Frankie Carroll
He got drunk last night
I tried my best to help him
But he wound up in a fight
And his missy got him
She said
";Frankie, it's alright";
";Frankie won't do you wrong";
Frankie Carroll
He beat his kids last night
";I don't like you kids shouting";
";Shut up now, don't care who's wrong or right";
And his missy got him
She said
";Frankie, I'll keep the kids quiet";
Frankie, Frankie, what's wrong?
Frankie Carroll
He fell to bed last night
And his head hung off the pillow
And his eyes were closed shut tight
And his missy
She got up and turned out the light
Frankie, Frankie, what's wrong?
Frankie Carroll was with a woman last night

Johnny Cool was the king
The leader of the boot boys
He'd never cause no trouble
In a rumble make some noise

He heard about some chick
And they she like to rock
He said "Come here honey"
"Let me see you lift up your frock"

There's gonna be a showdown

Miss Lucy was a chick
He knew she like to ball
He said "Come on Lucy"
"It doesn't matter to me at all"

But Miss Lucy got a fella
With a flick knife in his hand
Johnny Cool pulls a shotgun
The man is in command

There's gonna be a showdown

King Cool
King Kong
King King
With all the kings

King of hearts he's a lover
King of spades he's a brother
King of clubs makes a dollar
King of diamonds the wedding ring

There's gonna be a showdown

The song, "Bandshee", as it appeared on the Night Life release, is an
instrumental. The lyrics printed below are from one of the poetry books
of Philip Lynott and is entitled, "Banshee".

I was your lover
You were my queen
You broke my heart
I gave up everything

I was your friend
But you were my foe
I told you that
I could not let you go

At night I hear the wind calling
"Oh come back my darling"
Oh banshee! Oh banshee!
It keeps on calling me, keeps on calling me

We dance the night away
Oh we dance the night away

I won your heart
You took my soul
I love you then
But you left me cold

I was your lover
You were my queen
You broke my heart
I gave up everything

At night I can hear you calling
"Oh come back my darling"
Oh banshee! Oh banshee!
I hear you calling me, I hear you calling me

I've been a wild wild rover
Sailed all over the sea
But this thing that makes me wonder
Has made a fool of me
For it took me from my childhood
Underneath the stars and skies
And I still hear the wind
Whistling through the wild wood, whispering goodbye
It's home boys home
She's home boys home
No matter
Where I roam
If you see my mother
Please give her all of my love
For she has a heart of gold there
As good as God above
If you see my mother
Tell her I'm keeping fine
Tell her that I love her
And I'll try and write sometime

A strange kind of magic
Call it voodoo
You want the woman
Yes you do

Believe me baby
I know it's true
Come on sugar
Let me give it to you

I want to sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ooh right

Black magic woman
You've got a hole
Come on sugar
I'll lose control

I want your body
Not your soul
Come on baby
Take my jelly roll

Hey honey
Want some money
Go find it
I do

Dear heart
I wish you could see that
Dear heart
You mean the world to me
Man with the broken heart filled with lead
Suffered and he fought for what he believed
The fighting is over now, the man is dead
A martyr for the cause
Man with the golden arm, his face gone pale
Taken too much junk, he's gone over the rale
Breathes out a sigh and his body wails
He's gonna land in trouble, land in jail
He'd give his life, give his everything
To reach that goal and take that last and final fling
But I guess it's just another story
In the greatest story ever told
Dear heart
I wish that you could see that
Dear heart
You mean the world to me

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town
See me and the boys we don't like it
So were getting up and going down

Hiding low looking right to left
If you see us coming I think it's best
To move away do you hear what I say
From under my breath

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around

Don't you be around

Tonight there's gonna be trouble
Some of us won't survive
See the boys and me mean business
Bustin' out dead or alive

I can hear the hound dogs on my trail
All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail
Like the game if you lose
Go to jail

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around

Tonight there's gonna trouble
I'm gonna find myself in
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So woman stay with a friend

You know it's safer

Breakout!

Tonight there's gonna be a breakout
Into the city zones
Don't you dare to try and stop us
No one could for long

Searchlight on my trail
Tonight's the night all systems fail
Hey you good lookin' female
Come here!

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around

Tonight there's gonna be trouble
I'm gonna find myself in
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
So woman stay with a friend

The sacred heart is bleeding
Go tell the Holy Ghost
That the junkie is still cheating
To get the thing he needs the most

Lady Luck has me covered
Keeping her watchful eyes over me
The lovers are discovered
The charge is first degree

Angel, she's a killer
Just flown in from the coast
Makes the hit, it's a winner
Leaves you dead as the post

Sally took to playing poker
The joker is her favorite card
The drunk he can't stay sober
He says it's much too hard

Meantime something seedy
Was happening across the hall
Somebody seemed to be groaning
You could hear it through the wall

The cops they came like lightning
The bullets flew astray
The noise it was frightening
The crook he got away

I'm a fool now that it's over
can you guess my name
I make money singin' songs about you
it's my claim to fame
When they say it's over
it's not over, there's still the pain

And I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again
Oh I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again

If I said I was sorry
would you still have leaved me?
I never thought you would go
'till you did
believe me
When they say it's over
it's not over completely

'Cause I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again
Yes I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again

I miss that girl

The show is over, and we must all go home
just leave me by myself
I'll be alright here on my own
If it's all over, it's all over
and I'm all alone

And I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again
Don't you know I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again
Oh my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my
Oh tra la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Oh na na na na na na na na na

Romeo and the lonely girl
They seemed to hit it off
Till Romeo told the lonely girl
"I must take my leave, my love"

It was these few words I overheard
And thought, "I should move in"
But before I could
The lonely girl had fallen in love again

Oh poor Romeo
Sitting out on his own-ee-o
Oh poor Romeo

Romeo he had it rough
The guy you'd like to burn
But everything that Romeo had
You can bet it was well earned

For all his good looks
There were scars that he took
And there is a lesson
To be learned

Never judge a lover
By a good looking cover
Because the story
Might be spurned

Oh poor Romeo
Sitting out on his own-ee-o
Oh poor Romeo

Romeo he like to put it around
He was everybody's friend
But in the end even Romeo found
On no one could he depend

For all his charms
In someone else's arms
Lonely girl
Safely lay

When the train pulled in
It had to leave again
And Romeo
Pulled away

Oh poor Romeo
Sitting all on his own-ee-o
Oh poor Romeo

I am the warrior
I serve the death machine
Losers or conquerors
All flash past on my silver screen

Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds

It ain't pretty...

I am a messenger
The message here, you must know
I am the warrior
I deliver the fatal blow

So fate will have to wait
Till time can heal the scar
My heart is ruled by Venus
And my head by Mars

Guess who just
got back today
Them wild eyed boys
that'd been away
Haven't changed
had much to say
But man I still think
them cats are crazy
They were askin'
if you were around
How you was where

Told them you were

Drivin' all

She was cool

And that time over

Down at Deano's bar

The drink will flow

And if the boys

You better

That jukebox

Blasting out
my favorite song
The nights are

It won't be long

Brothers here I stand
Spread my wings and take command
The sky he justly planned
The boy become a man

After all this time
I tell myself that I'm
Not just wasting time
Oh you know I'm not that way inclined

Brothers if you hear
Raise your flags and make it clear
There is more to fear
If we wait for another year

After all this time
I tell-a [repeat] myself that I'm
Just passing through time

Oh...
(solo)

After all this time
I tell myself that I'm
Not just wasting time
Oh you know I'm not that way inclined

Brothers fight or fall
It's man for man and one for all
No more can we crawl
Brothers, brothers hear the call

After all this time
I tell myself that I'm
Not just wasting time
Oh you know I'm not that way inclined

Brother brother
Brother brother

Brother fight or fall
It's man for man and one for all

Brother brother
Brother brother

What you want?
We gotta fight for one another!

I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail a STARRY night,the CAMPFIRE light The coyote call, and the howling winds wail So I'll ride out to the old sundown I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female The nights we spent together riding on the RANGE Looking back it seems so strange Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo I was took in Texas I did not know her name Lord, all these southern girls seem the same Down below the border in a town in Mexico I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Running free with the buffalo Here I go Roll me over and I'll turn around And I'll move my fingers up and down Up and down It's ok amigos Just let me go Riding in the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till i hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo Roll me over and set me free The cowboy's life is the life for me

Down from the glen came the marching men
with their shields and their swords
To fight the fight they believed to be right
overthrow the overlords

To the towns where there was plenty
they brought plunder, swords and flame
When they left the town was empty
and children would never play again

from their graves I heard them falling
above the battle cry
By the bridge near the border
there were many born to die

Then onward, over the mountain
and outward towards the sea
They come to claim the Emerald
without it they could not leave

Johnny the Fox he called to Jimmy the Weed
He said "Hey man, I know your name"
I seen you cruising with the low riders
Hanging out down on First street and Main

Tuned into and listen to the voodoo Rhythm Devils
Around the Bay
They've got some crazy DJs
Send you right out to heaven

Jimmy the Weed for greed was taken aback
Johnny the Fox you old sly cat
Cleverly the Fox concealed his stash
Crisp dollar bills leave no tracks

In the back of a black cadillac
The voodoo music travels
Down Skid Row only black men can go
The shady deal unravels

Johnny the Fox, hot to hustle
Jimmy the Weed won't use no muscle
that cat's so sly, slick and subtle
Johnny the Fox breaks out the bottle

Tuned into and listening to
The voodoo music travels
The beating drum for the lonely one
Sends you out to heaven

She's quite the mediator
A smoother operator you will never see
She'll see you later
No one dare disobey her openly

She knows music
I know music too, you see
She got the power
The teen queen, Rosalie

Rosalie
Rosalie
Rosalie
Rosalie

She's got the pleasure
Comes from all the cornerstones of the world
She's so fantastic
She's everybody's favorite little record girl

She knows music
I know music too, you see
She got the power
I got the power, Rosalie

Rosalie
Rosalie
Rosalie
Rosalie

Down on me, Rosalie
Shine on me will you please

From Chattanooga to good old Booga Loosa
You can hear her fine
She makes the choices
Then you'd best be smiling when it's choosing time

She knows music
I know music too, you see
She's got the power
She is a tower, Rosalie

Rosalie
Rosalie
Rosalie
Rosalie

Up jumped Jack on the railroad track
Saying, "I've got to get out of town
It's been really nice knowing you
I hope to see you around"

Oh the boy he could boogie
Oh the boy can kick a ball
But the boy he got hung up
Smooching in the stalls

You've got to give a little love
To those who love to live
You've got to take a little hate
From those who have to wait

Up jumped John putting his trousers on
Saying, "I've got to get out of here
Hear your lover's footsteps
They're coming too near for me, my dear"

Oh the boy he could boogie
Oh the boy can kick a ball
But the boy he got hung up
Making love against the wall

You've got to give a little love
To those who love to live
You've got to take a little hate
From those who have to wait

Got to give a little bit of love

The paper called it suicide
A bullet from a forty-five
Nobody cared and nobody cried
Don't that make you feel sad?
Peter Brent combed his hair
And sent for the police
Policeman came, took Peter's name
God, may he rest in peace
No one saw the note beside the body
No one knew the problems
But my God
Suicide
The body remains unidentified
Forgotten in a file
Like the letter that was blown aside
Don't that make you want to smile?
No one was really satisfied
About number eighty-one
The autopsy proved that Peter lied
But they never could find the gun
No one saw the note beside the body
No one knew the problems
But my God
Suicide

Wild one won't you please come home
You've been away too long, will you
We need you home, we need you near
Come back wild one will you

How can we live without your love
You know that could kill you
How can we carry on
When you are gone my wild one

So you go your way wild one
I'll try and follow
And if you change your mind
I will be waiting here for you tomorrow

For I would beg for you
I would steal and I would borrow
I'd do anything, anything at all
To end this sorrow

Wild one
The gypsies warned of the danger
You can laugh and joke with friends
But don't you ever talk to strangers

Although their offers may be sweet
And I'd bet and I would wager
Away you'll stray and never come back
To those who love and made you

I'm tough, rough, ready and able
To pick myself up from under this table
Don't stick no sign on me, I got no label
I'm a little sick, unsure, unsound and unstable

But I'm fighting my way back

I'm busting out and I'm going in
I'm kicking up about the state I'm in
Looking to my future, not my past
I want to be a good boy but how long can it last

Fighting my way back

This kid is going to wreck and ruin
I'm not quite sure of what I'm doing
You see it happened all a little too soon
But it's all there in this here tune

Fighting my way back

Down and out in the city
Won't you give a boy a break
Juvenile on trial before committee
Taken all he can take

But the king shall have his vengeance
Especially on the poor
Some say preaching to converted
Me, I'm not too sure

Spring she comes and spring she teases
Brings summer winds and summer breezes
Blow through your hair till autumn leaves us
When autumn leaves us, oh how winter freezes

And the child is still breathing
With the beating of a heart
Some say we are equal
Some a million miles apart

Oh my god
Oh my god

But the king shall have his vengeance
While the Queen she represents the innocent
And the child so dependent
But the seasons conquer all

Spring she comes and spring she teases
Brings summer winds and summer breezes
Blow through your hair till autumn leaves us
When autumn leaves, oh how winter freezes, oh how winter freezes

But the king shall have his vengeance
Especially on the poor
Some say preaching to converted
Me, I'm not so sure

When the spirit slips away
There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can say
May the angels be watching over you
When your spirit slips away

When the darkness starts to fall
You're on your own and your back's against the wall
May the angels bring their flame to you
When the darkness it starts to fall

And when the music that makes you blue
Unfolds its secrets, the mysteries are told to you
May the angels sing rejoice to you
That fateful day when your spirit slips away

I should've known you couldn't take it
You had to make it with another man
You know that's true, baby
And I can play that game if you can

It's been a long time since I've come here
To give you what you need
My roots are in Chicago
But I know where I want to plant my seed

I, I'd bet a silver dollar
You, you'd love another
And you know that silver dollar, it would make me rich
Girl like you, easy pitch
But I miss you now you're gone

I'm coming home, girl, just to show you
What's this man's been living for
A tip for you, don't be surprised, baby
When I come busting through that door

t's been a long time since I've been here
To give you what you need
My roots are in Chicago
But I know where I want to plant my seed

I, I'd bet a silver dollar
You, you'd love another
And even though that silver dollar would make me rich
I want to tell you that there is a hitch
I miss you know you're gone

And all I got left is my old guitar

I, I'd bet a silver dollar
You, you'd love another
And even though that silver dollar would make me rich
I want to tell you that there is a hitch
I miss you know you're gone

Listen while I tell you the hard luck story
About a man named Jack McDuff
He believed in the God and the glory
But he just wasn't tough enough

I believe in the freedom song
Long live liberty
I believe in the freedom song
But I'll choose my own destiny

Well, they took him and they beat him
Underneath that old hanging tree
Saying, Jack, you must die
What will your last words be?

Jack, he hung his head back
Long live liberty
I believe in the freedom song
Doesn't matter what you do to me

With a rope around his neck they left him hanging
High on that old hanging tree
On her knees his wife was screaming
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy

I believe in the freedom song
Long live-a the liberty
I believe in that freedom song
Doesn't matter what you do to me

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town
See me and the boys we don't like it
So were getting up and going down
Hiding low looking right to left
If you see us coming I think it's best
To move away do you hear what I say
From under my breath
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around
Don't you be around
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
Some of us won't survive
See the boys and me mean business
Bustin' out dead or alive
I can hear the hound dogs on my trail
All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail
Like the game if you lose
Go to jail
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around
Tonight there's gonna trouble
I'm gonna find myself in
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So woman stay with a friend
You know it's safer
Breakout!
Tonight there's gonna be a breakout
Into the city zones
Don't you dare to try and stop us
No one could for long
Searchlight on my trail
Tonight's the night all systems fail
Hey you good lookin' female
Come here!
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
I'm gonna find myself in
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
So woman stay with a friend

Down from the glen came the marching men
with their shields and their swords
To fight the fight they believed to be right
overthrow the overlords
To the towns where there was plenty
they brought plunder, swords and flame
When they left the town was empty
and children would never play again
from their graves I heard them falling
above the battle cry
By the bridge near the border
there were many born to die
Then onward, over the mountain
and outward towards the sea
They come to claim the Emerald
without it they could not leave

The boom time it is over
A ghost town is all that's left here
The gold rush it is over
And depression days draw near
Tonight after sundown
I'm going to pack my case
I leave without a sound
Disappear without a trace
I'm going southbound
Drifting like a drover
Chasing my career
From the ships docked in the harbour
New horizons will appear
Tumbling with the tumbleweed
Down the open road
Taking only what I need
Before my head explodes
I'm going southbound
Hey, you're not getting any younger
The wild west has already been won
Northern lights are growing colder
And the old eastern ways are gone
So tonight after sundown
You must go from this place
Without a tear, without a frown
Disappear without a trace

She's quite a mediator
A smoother operator you will never see
Said see you later
You know one day I disobeyed her openly

She knows music
I know music too, you see
She's got the power
The teen queen, rosalie

She's got the pleasure
Comes from all the cornerstones of the world
She's so fantastic
She's everybody's favorite little record girl

She knows music
I know music too, you see
She's got the power
I got the power, rosalie

Rosalie
Rosalie
Rosalie
Rosalie

Down on me, rosalie
Shine on me will you please

Well chattanooga, lacooda, baooga loosa
You can hear her fine
She makes the choices
Then you'd best be smiling when it's losing time

She knows music
I know music too, you see
She's got the power
She is a tower, rosalie

Rosalie
Rosalie
Rosalie
Rosalie

When I passed you in the doorway
You took me with a glance
I should have took that last bus
home But I asked you for a dance
Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate
stains on my pants
and My father he's going crazy
Say's I'm living in a trance
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On the long hot summer night
It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten
I won't get out until Sunday
I'll have to say
I stayed with friends
But it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On the long hot summer night

dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On the long hot summer night
dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me hot
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me
alright alright alright alright
alright alright alright alright

At a point below zero
There's no place left to go
Six hundred unknown heroes
Were killed like sleeping buffalo
Through the devil's canyon
Across the battlefield
Death has no companion
The spirit is forced to yield
There goes the bandolero
Through the hole in the wall
He's a coward but doesn't care though
In fact, he doesn't care at all
The general that's commanding
He's defending what he fears
While the troops they are depending
On reinforcements from the rear
If God is in the heavens
How can this happen here?
In His name, they used the weapons
For the massacre
There is a point below zero
Where the sun can see the land
Six hundred unknown heroes
Lay dead in the sand

Think I'll just fall to pieces
If I don't find something else to do
This sadness never ceases
I'm still in love with you
My head, it keeps on reeling
It's got me in a crazy spin
Darling, darling, darling
Is this the end?
Still in love with you
They say time has a way of healing
Dries all the tears from your eyes
But darling it's this empty feeling
My heart can't disguise
After all that we've been through
I try my best but it's no use
I guess I'll keep on loving you
Is this the end?
Now that it's all over, woman
There's something I think you should know
Baby, baby, think it over
Just one more time before you go
Call on me baby
If there's anything I can do for you
Call on me baby
Help me see it through
I'm still in love with you

Johnny the Fox he called to Jimmy the Weed
He said "Hey man, I know your name"
I seen you cruising with the low riders
Hanging out down on First street and Main

Tuned into and listen to the voodoo Rhythm Devils
Around the Bay
They've got some crazy DJs
Send you right out to heaven

Jimmy the Weed for greed was taken aback
Johnny the Fox you old sly cat
Cleverly the Fox concealed his stash
Crisp dollar bills leave no tracks

In the back of a black cadillac
The voodoo music travels
Down Skid Row only black men can go
The shady deal unravels

Johnny the Fox, hot to hustle
Jimmy the Weed won't use no muscle
that cat's so sly, slick and subtle
Johnny the Fox breaks out the bottle

Tuned into and listening to
The voodoo music travels
The beating drum for the lonely one
Sends you out to heaven

I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail a starry night,the campfire light The coyote call, and the howling winds wail So I'll ride out to the old sundown I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female The nights we spent together riding on the range Looking back it seems so strange Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo I was took in Texas I didn't know her name Lord, all these southern girls seem the same Down below the border in a town in Mexico I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding with this buffalo Here I go (Instrumental) Oh, won't you clap your hands with me Just rodeo And I'll move my fingers up and down Up and down It's ok amigos Just let me go We'll be riding here with Riding in the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till i hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo Roll me over and set me free The cowboy's life is the life for me

Guess who just got back today,
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away,
Haven't changed, had much to say,
But man, I still think them cats are crazy.
They were askin' if you were around,
How you was, where you could be found.
Told them you were livin' downtown,
Drivin' all the old men crazy.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
You know that chick that used to dance a lot,
Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got.
Man, when I tell ya she was cool, she was red hot.
And that time over at Johnny's place,
Well, this chick, she got up and slapped Johnny's face,
Man, we just fell about the place,
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill,
Down at Deano's bar and grill
The drink will flow, and blood will spill,
And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em.
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song,
The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long,
Won't be long 'til summer comes,
Now that the boys are here again.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.

Dont believe me if I tell you
Not a word of this is true
Dont believe me if I tell you
Especially if I tell you that Im in love with you
Dont believe me if I tell you
That I wrote this song for you
There might be some other silly pretty girl
Im singing it to
Dont believe a word
For words are only spoken
Your heart is like a promise
Made to be broken
Dont believe a word
Words can tell lies
And lies are no comfort
When theres tear in your eyes
Dont believe me if I tell you
Not a word of this is true
Dont believe me if I tell you
Especially if I tell you that Im in love with you
Dont believe a word

I am the warrior
I serve the death machine
Losers or conquerors
All flash past on my silver screen
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds
It ain't pretty...
I am a messenger
The message here, you must know
I am the warrior
I deliver the fatal blow
So fate will have to wait
Till time can heal the scar
My heart is ruled by Venus
And my head by Mars

Are you ready to rock?
Are you ready to rip it up?
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Are you ready to get it up?
Are you ready to rock?
Are you ready to hit the floor?
Are you ready lover?
If you're ready, I'm ready!
Are you ready to rip it up?
Are you ready to tear it down?
Do you know what I'm talking about?
I'm not messing you around
Are you ready to rock?
Are you ready to hit the floor?
Are you ready lover?
'Cause if you're ready, I'm ready!
Are you ready to rip it up?
Are you ready to tear it down?
Do you know what I'm thinking of?
I'm not messing you around
Are you ready to rock?
Are you ready to hit the floor?
Are you ready now?
`Cause if you're ready, I'm ready!
Look out!

The paper called it suicide
A bullet from a forty-five
Nobody cared and nobody cried
Don't that make you feel sad?
Peter Brent combed his hair
And sent for the police
Policeman came, took Peter's name
God, may he rest in peace
No one saw the note beside the body
No one knew the problems
But my God
Suicide
The body remains unidentified
Forgotten in a file
Like the letter that was blown aside
Don't that make you want to smile?
No one was really satisfied
About number eighty-one
The autopsy proved that Peter lied
But they never could find the gun
No one saw the note beside the body
No one knew the problems
But my God
Suicide

A strange kind of magic
Call it voodoo
You want the woman
Yes you do
Believe me baby
I know it's true
Come on sugar
Let me give it to you
I want to sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ooh right
Black magic woman
You've got a hole
Come on sugar
I'll lose control

I said, "Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, ooh baby, baby, baby..."
Baby drives me crazy
Baby drives me crazy
Crazy about you baby
Baby drives me crazy
We're a little bit crazy
Aren't we baby?
Sugar with the sweet night
Sugar with the midnight
Sweet on you sugar
Love a little true love
Sweet on you honey
I said, "Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, b-b-b-baby, b-b-b-b-b-b-b-baby"
I said, "Baby! Baby!"

I am your main man if you're looking for trouble
I'll take no lip 'cause no ones tougher than me
If I kicked your face you'd soon be seeing double
Hey little girl, keep your hands off me 'cause I'm a rocker
I'm a rocker!
I'm a roller too, baby
I'm a rocker!
Down at the juke joint me and the boys were stompin'
Bippin' an a boppin', telling a dirty joke or two
In walked this chick and I knew she was up to something
I kissed her right there out of the blue
I said

We are looking in on you now
What do you think you can do now
It's very small from way out here
The last thing you will feel is fear

Give you a chance to do the right thing
Give you a chance to do the bright thing
Now our sense is all disgusted
Where you're from you can't be trusted

Where I come from no-one smiles
Every inch exists in miles
Still it's cool relaxed and calm
Sitting here on the funny farm

World in prison screams in pain
There are no leaders you can blame
Human greed destroys your sphere
And there's no room for you out here

You're on your own now
You're on your own now
You're on your own now
You're on your own now

Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

They locked me up, put me away,
Said "You're gonna get out in forever and a day"
I didn't know what was going on,
All I was doing was looking for fun,
Forgot the reason, that's what I'm told,
But you've gotta get it in before you get old,
They thought they had me, had me for keeps,
But they don't know this boy never sleeps,
I'm back on the streets again,
I'm back on my feet again,
I'm On Parole, On Parole
I like laugh, I like a joke,
It's not my fault if my sense of humour broke,
I tried to tell them I was sick,
They said they think it was some kind of a trick,
Alright, I would have done good,
If they had listened to me like they should,
I wouldn't have this loaded gun,
Looking for a citizen to kill just for fun,
It's good to be free again,
It's good to be me again,
I'm On Parole, On Parole



Stop me now before I kill myself,
Stop me before I kill somebody else!

You'd better watch out, you never know,
Who's going to be the next to go,
Night my friend, but it ain't yours,
Fixes the odds, evens the scores,
Just turn around, I won't go wrong,
When he hits the ground I'll be long gone,
They won't suspect me, no not a soul,
'Cos I'm a good boy I'm On Parole,
I'm raising my sights again,
I'm claiming my rights again,
I'm On Parole, On Parole

Stop me now before I kill myself,
Stop me now, or get somebody else

Hey, fellows have you heard the news
The women in this town are being misused
Seen it all in a dream last night
You'll be leaving this town 'cause you don't feel right

I'm leaving, leaving here
I'm leaving, leaving here

Hey fellows, better change your ways
Or they'll be leaving this town in a matter of days
They all say and everything's so true
We fellows run around with someone new

I'm leaving, leaving here
I'm leaving, leaving here

Yeah, one by one, yeah, two by two
Yeah, three by three, yeah, four by four

[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
One day, one day and it won't be long
And all them fine chicks will be gone

I'm leaving, leaving here
I'm leaving, leaving here

Yeah, two by two, yeah, four by four
Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah
I'm leaving here
[Incomprehensible]

Nobody knows, I know nobody cares
What goes on in here
We have this door, nobody gets in
Until I'm really sure

Don't creep up behind me
You know where to find me, I'm always around
Turns out if you need us
Before you lead us astray

Don't care who we meet
We're orphans here on Easy Street and we feel real mean
Cruising on speed
We've got more than we'll ever need, ain't life sweet?

We won't turn your pay down
City kids don't lay down, we don't call so cheap
Better get some more of that
City kids, we don't give that to you, oh no

Bombs go off the night
Searing heat, blinding light, you like it fine
Park the car and run
Dance all night, it was for fun, we're nasty

Why do we do it?
No one can get through it
We know where to run

You hear what we're saying
Time that you were praying
'Cos city kids, time won't be long
Won't be long, no, it won't be long

I make love to mountain lions,
Sleep on red-hot branding irons,
When I walk the roadway shakes,
Bed's a mess of rattlesnakes,
Voodoo child, black cat bone,
Scratch your back,hear you moan,
I get up, you go down,
Tall building, single bound,
War and peace and love,
Say it if you dare,
Iron fist,velvet glove,
I'm so bad, baby I don't care,
Black-hearted to the bone,
Older than The Rolling Stones,
Been to heaven, been to hell,
Bought the farm, and I won't sell,
Give and take, rise and fall,
Rise up and take it all,
Secret love, I won't tell,
Knock you up and ring your bell,
Kiss the whip, eat the gun,
Tell me it ain't fair,
Midnight victim, hit and run,
I'm so bad, baby I don't care,
I make the blind to see,
Shoot 'em full of R and B,
I make the lame to walk,
Come round and pop your cork,
Wham, bam,thank you ma'am,
Thought I heard the back door slam,
Overkill, walk the line,
Kill the lights, It's lampshade time,
On the road,on the lam,
People running scared,
I'm everything they say
I'm,I'm so bad, baby I don't care.

Here we go again, on a 747,
Looking at the clouds from the other side of heaven,
Smoking & drinking, never gonna stop,
Reading magazines, stop me looking at the clock,
Wanna watch the movie, can't sit still,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil,


Watching all the roadcrew attacking little girls,
Joined the mile high club, goin' round the world,
All the booze is free, airline going broke,
Here come the lady with another jack and coke,
Wanna watch the movie, can't sit still,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil,


Steve, Clem, Hobbsy, John, Crazy Dil & Pappy,
Had to travel second class, they ain't too fucking happy,
Elevator music, butter in my ears,
Think we're gonna die, just the pilot changing gear,
Wanna watch the movie, can't sit still,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil.

Lie back and dream of me,
Red death to set you free,
We turn the screws to make you die,
Soft flesh and razor blades, golgotha, ace of spades,
Steel needles kiss your pretty eyes,
All mine, all mine, black night, moonshine,
All mine, all mine, nightmare, the dreamtime,


Black terror stalks the night, claws to clutch and fangs to bite,
A dark and faceless crawling fear,
Despair, you can't resist, and now the lizard's kiss,
The reptile hisses in your ear,
All mine, all mine, black night, moonshine,
All mine, all mine, nightmare, the dreamtime,


Dead voices speak through me,
Of all the things they see,
The prince of wounds, the lord of flies,
Evil within ourselves, we need nobody else,
We tell ourselves the best of lies,
All mine, all mine, black night, moonshine,
All mine, all mine, nightmare, the dreamtime.

Love me forever, or not at all,
End of our tether, backs to the wall,
Give me your hand, don't you ever ask why,
Promise me nothing, live 'til we die,


Chorus
Everything changes, it all stays the same,
Everyone guilty, no one to blame,
Every way out, brings you back to the start,
Everyone dies to break somebody's heart,


We are the system, we are the law,
We are corruption, worm in the core,
One of another, laugh 'til you cry,
Faith unto death or a knife in the eye,


(Repeat Chorus)

Love me or leave me, tell me no lies,
Ask me no questions, send me no spies,
You know love's a thief, steal your heart in the night,
Slip through your fingers, you best hold on tight.

(Repeat Chorus)

I wanna grow my hair, live in Bel Air,
Lose my head, keep a live snake in my bed,
I wanna backstage pass, drink Bon Jovi's booze for free,
I wanna be a star & buy a hundred guitars,
Eat everything I can bite,
I wanna feel a little danger, feel a little stranger,
Angel City tonight,


I got a buncha boys, we make a lot of noise,
Little bit crazy, playing with chemical toys,
We're such bad ass dudes,
Almost can't stand it myself,
I wanna get the crabs in my elegant rags,
Make my mom & daddy uptight,
I wanna be an intellectual, heterosexual,
Angel City tonight,


I'm gonna live in L.A. drinkin' all day,
Lay by the pool & let the record company pay,
Talking to the devil on the bathphone all of the time,
I'm gonna kick ass, I'm gonna spit broken glass,
I'm gonna shoot out all of your lights,
I wanna eat dirt, I'm gonna eat my own shirt,
Angel City tonight,


Angel City, Angel City, the way I'm used is a shame and a pity,
Angel City, Angel City, rock 'n' roll alright,
Angel City, Angel City, the women here ain't got no pity,
Angel City, Angel City, shape up and fly right.

Listen up babe, you're no fool,
I wish I walked you home from school,
Dream lover, head to tail, coulda put a lot of boys in jail,
Tell you what, you're red hot,
Let's go do it in the parking lot,
I mean every word I say, I wish you'd stay,
Stay mean, stay clean,
Don't ever ask me where I've been,


Shine a light on me, come on babe, set me free,
Don't go 'way please please stay,
Roll over and make my day, (repeat)


You're so bad honey, you're so tough,
Skin so smooth, but your tongue's so rough,
Crazy mama, turn me down, watch out cuz I'll be 'round,


You're so bad, I'm so glad, best woman that I ever had,
I mean every single word and I hope you heard,
I'm the one, to turn you on,
Stick with me, and you can't go wrong,


Shine a light on me, come on babe, set me free,
Don't go 'way please please stay,
Roll over and make my day, (repeat)


Be the one you want to be,
Don't go anyplace far from me,
Touch me there, show you care,
Can't scare you if you can't be scared,
Know you, know it's true,
Be alright if you know me too,
I mean every word I hear and I hope it's clear,
Cuz if you go, hope you know,
You ain't gonna see the sun no more,


Shine a light on me, come on babe, set me free
Don't go away please please stay,
Roll over and make my day.

New York City, N.Y.C.,
Pretty mean when it wants to be,
Black leather, knee-hole pants,
Can't play no high school dance,
Fuzz tone, hear 'em go, hear 'em on the radio,


Chorus
Misfits, twilight zone,
R-A-M-O-N-E-S, R-A-M-O-N-E-S
RAMONES,


Bad boy rock, bad boy roll,
Gabba gabba, see them go,
C. Jay now hit the gas,
Hear Marky kick some ass,
Go Johnny, go, go, go, go Tommy o-way-o,


(Chorus)

Bad boys then, bad boys now,
Good buddies, mau, mau, mau,
Keep it up, rock 'n' roll, good music save your soul,
Taylor Taylor, he left home,
Joey call me on the phone.


(Chorus)

Pack my bags and leave today,
You read this I'll be far away,
Ain't gonna give ya no moon in June,
Never see you it'll be too soon,
Chorus
One eyed Jack, gotta watch my back,
See you 'round, guess I better,
Shut you down, shut you down,
Shut you down,
Steal your thunder, turn you round,


Listen up 'cos I'm telling you,
Magic moments were way too few,
Like to stay, but you got too weird,
Don't look right since you grew that beard,
(Chorus)


Tell you babe, what I'm gonna do,
Leave this town and I'll leave you too,
Don't wanna see your face no more,
Don't come 'round knocking at my door.
(Chorus)

Sixteen years old
To fight for a land fit for heroes
when I went to the war
and a gun in my hand
God on my side

Chasing my days down to zero
And I marched, and I fought
And I bled, and I died
But I knew at the time
And I never did get any older
That a year in the line
Was a long enough life for a soldier

We all volunteered
And we wrote down our names
And we added two years to our ages
Eager for life
And ahead of the game
Ready for history's pages

And we brawled, and we fought
And we hoped to be stuped
Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder
At thirst for the Hun
And that's what you are when you're soldiers
We were food for the gun

As he sank to his knees
I heard my friend cry
Coughing blood as he screemed for his mother
And I fell by his side
Clinging like kids to each other

And I wept as his body grew colder
And that's how we died
And I lay in the mud, and the guts and the blood
Though it wasn't my fault, and I wasn't to blame
And I called for my mother, but she never came
The day not half over, and ten thousand slain
And now there's nobody remembers our names
And that's how it is
For each soldier
