Fly On The Wall
(Young/Young/Johnson )

Fly on the wall
Get on top
….

You can dance, through the night
Rock 'n' roll music itching to fight
Making love, drunk or stoned
Looking for dollar, get broken boned

I was trapped, (like a fly on the wall)
I was caged, (like a zoo animal)
No escape, (from the fate that you make)
You're a snake, I've had all I can take
Watch out, there's a fly on the wall

Take a chance, take a bite
Oooh rock 'n' roll devil take me tonight
Like a bitch, makin' heat
Beating on my chest, licking at my feet
It's a game, too tough to tame
Ending up the same, sweating out the rain

So watch out, there's a fly on the wall
I was trapped, (like a fly on the wall)
I was caged, (like a zoo animal)
No escape, (from the fate that you make)
You're a snake, (I've had all I can take)
... 

I was, trapped, (like a fly on the wall)
I was caged, (like a zoo animal)
No escape, (from the fate that you make)
You're a snake, (I've had all I can take)
I was trapped, (like a fly on the wall)
I was caged, (like a zoo animal)
Enraged, (from the fate that you make)
You're a snake, (and I've had all I can take)
There's a fly on the wall

Shake Your Foundations
(Young/Young/Johnson )

You gotta see me leaning on the bar
I got my head in a whiskey jar
Feeling good cause the city's alive
I'm getting ready to rock and jive
I get up and I slide across the floor
You wanna come an' I'll meet you at the door
No one can stop us cause we're feelin' too right
We're gonna steal our way around tonight
Alright, alright

Aye, aye, oh, shake your foundations
Aye, aye, oh, shake it to the floor
Aye, aye, oh, shake your foundations
Aye, aye, oh, shake it

I was taking no liberties
She getting hotter off the heat on me
I was oiling, she was slick
Licking off the sweat, her favourite trick
Help me, help me please
Tame this animal, and help me to breathe
I said no, no way, you gotta come with me, all the way
Ok I'll play

Aye, aye, oh, shake your foundations
Aye, aye, oh, shake it to the floor
Aye, aye, oh, shake your foundations
Aye, aye, oh, shake it to the floor

Aye, aye, oh, shake your foundations
Aye, aye, oh, shake it to the floor
Aye, aye, oh, shake your foundations
Aye, aye, oh, shake it

We had the night, we had the time
She had the sugar and I had the wine
Took my hand shook me to the core
Told her not to touch but she was coming back for more
You know what for

Aye, aye, aye, aye
Aye, aye, oh, shake your foundations
Aye, aye, oh, shake it to the floor
Aye, aye, oh, shake your foundations
Aye, aye, oh, shake it to the floor
Aye, aye, oh, shake your foundations
Aye, aye, oh, shake it to the floor

First Blood
(Young/Young/Johnson )

Got a screaming feeling, need a little loving healing
Want some of that stuff, cause I like a hot touch, yeah
Wanna little squeezing, just a touch and teasing
Maybe wrong, maybe right, yeah, but I like it every night
Come on baby, down my way
They're gonna make it, night and day

I want (first blood), a look in the eye
(Thirst blood), a need in disguise
(Bad dog), come back for more

Some like it hot, some like it quite not so hot
But I like a touch, and I want it so much
Come on baby, down my way
We're gonna make it every night and day

(Thirst blood), need in disguise
(Bad dog), come back for more
(First blood), first blood

I want...

First blood, all right hot shot
Bad dog, you come back for more
I want first blood

Sink The Pink
(Young/Young/Johnson )

Put your gear into fire
Lay your bullets on the ground
Turn your head to desire
There's a woman going down
She said she'll rack you up, all the way
Then she gonna spit you out, count your days
She says choice is yours, casually
So why don't you do what comes naturally

Sink the pink, it's all the fashion
Drink the drink, it's old fashion
Gimme water, gimme wine
Gonna show you, a good time
Sink the pink, sink the pink

Got a fever running high
Give you wings to make you fly
She school you like a fool
She make you break the rules
She wanna give it a shot, hit the spot
And I'm gonna rack 'em up, get it hot
She said, make it good, satisfy
You know that woman got Dallas eyes

Sink the pink, it's all the fashion
Drink the drink, it's old fashion
Gimme water, gimme wine
Gonna show you, a good time
Sink the pink, sink the pink
I want you to sink it for me...

Sink the pink, sink the pink, it's all the fashion
Drink the drink, drink the drink, it's old fashion
Gimme water, gimme wine
Gonna show you, a good time
Sink the pink, sink the pink, sink the pink, Sink the pink
Oh, oh ohhh, sink the pink

Playing With Girls
(Young/Young/Johnson )

Ahh
Highball women that are hot to touch
Legs do the talking spelling out the lust
See the sugar daddies with a sweet tooth and a smile
See what's hanging off him like a wanting child
That's where you'll find me, standing proud

Playing with girls, gonna get you hot
Playing with guns, gonna get you shot
Playing with fire, gonna heat you up
Playing with me, you're gonna get the lot

Bring on the showgirls and the debutantes
Late night waitress in a restaurant
Heading for the clubs and bars, with the flashing lights
Looking for the good time girls in their black nylon tights
Over the barrel, bottoms up

Playing with girls, gonna get you hot
Playing with guns, gonna get you shot
Playing with fire, gonna heat you up
Playing with me, you're gonna get the lot

River run dry, yeah yeah you're playing with fire
Ohh ohh wild sweet child
Playing with girls, playing with girls

Playing, playing, playing with girls, playing with girls
I like tall girls and I'll take 'em small
I want 'em all up front, I like 'em all
I wanna see them strut their stuff
Lose their social grace
You play your cards right and you'll deal yourself an ace
That's where you'll find me, standing proud

Playing with girls, playing with girls
Playing with girls, playing with girls
You got the long girl, short girl
Nothing but the bad girl
Just playing with girls
I want all the women in the world

Stand Up
(Young/Young/Johnson )

Put on the headset, get on the stage
Out on the midnight escapade
I didn't wanna steal your thunder
I wouldn't wanna play your game
Making all the headlines, getting on the front page, aah aah
Didn't even know her number, I didn't even know her name

Stand up, stand up and take it
Stand up, stand up and make it
Stand up, stand up and face it
Stand up, oh

Get on the red dress, slip on the lace
Up for a high heel, and a pretty face
Woman wanna get you under
Woman wanna get you tame
Loving on a hot night
Stoking up the flame, aah aah
Didn't wanna know her number, I didn't wanna know her name

Stand up, stand up and take it
Stand up, stand up and make it
Stand up, stand up and face it
Stand up

You take it out
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Stand up, stand up and take it
Stand up, stand up and make it
Stand up, stand up and face it
Stand up, you can make it
Stand up, stand up and take it
Stand up, stand up and make it
Stand up, stand up and face it
Stand up, stand up

Hell Or High Water
(Young/Young/Johnson )

Watch out, get outta my way
Did ya hear what I say
Everybody, you don't have to choose it
You don't have to prove it
It's only rock 'n' roll
Mama done told me, papa done scold me
Superstition, black cat in the cradle
Dancing on the table, don't you snake on me
Mama done told me, daddy done scold me
Told me, show me
You know that he told me

Come hell or high water, come hell or high water
Come hell or high water, come hell or high water

Blood money, lying through your back teeth
Fighting on the main street, breathe your last breath on me
Mama done told me, poor boy get home
Hot loving, trigger happy feeling
Touching up and teasing
You know it so bad
Mama done told me, papa done scold me
Told me, showed me
Rock 'n' rolled me

Come hell or high water, come hell or high water
Come hell or high water, come hell or high water
Come hell, hell, hell, hell, give 'em hell

Come hell or high water, come hell or high water
Come hell or high water, come hell or high water
Come hell or high water, come hell or high water
Come hell or high water, come hell or high water
Come hell or high water, come hell or high water
Come hell or high water
I tell ya
Come hell
Come hell
Come hell

Back In Business
(Young/Young/Johnson )

Breaking out, about to shout
Feel the need, for one more round
Don't you struggle, don't try to bite
You want some trouble, I'm the king of vice
I'm a wrecking ball, I'm a stinging knife
Steal your money, gonna take your life
You got screaming murder, lock up your door
Double dealing, gotta have more
Call me dirty, trash my name
Just tell the boys that I'm gonna be

Back in business again, back in business again
Back in business again, back in business again
Back in business

Flesh and blood, I'm a rag 'n' bone
Bad luck message on the telephone
Don't you worry, play my game
I'll do you a favour put your soul for sale
Like a cannon ball going down the track
Need good loving, but I want it back
I was born in trouble, they gave up on me
Teacher preaching what not to be
Call me dirty, trash my name
Just tell the boys that I'm gonna be
