Baby Faced Killer (David Byron/Daniel Boone) I will give you lace and diamond If that's how it has to be Shower you with my affections Be around you constantly If you think that you can lose me You are in a world apart 'Cause given just the smallest moment I will surely steal your heart I am aware that I don't compare To magazine fantasies seen everywhere But don't let me in 'Cause really I'm a baby faced killer Don't be surprised when I look in your eyes If images change in their shape and their size 'Cause you're under the spell The spell of the baby faced killer I would like to be a spider Hanging from your bedroom wall Watching you go through your motions Seeing you reveal your all But I am a mere mortal And I have no such disguise So I'll have to use the power That exists within my eyes |

Rich Man's Lady (David Byron/Daniel Boone) Here she comes again without a steady guy Will she look at me, will she pass me by I ain't got no money it's a crying shame 'Cause if I don't win this time I got myself to blame She'll let you kiss and mess around Provided that you spread your bread around 'Cause she's a rich man's lady And I ain't got a dime As she's a rich man's lady And have to pass her up this time Should I take the chance, should I say hello Would I look a fool, will she turn and go I'd really like to know her 'Cause she's really fine But as I'm stone broke I doubt if she will be mine That's the way the story goes She's really into money and it shows |

Sleepless Nights (David Byron/Daniel Boone) Sleepless nights ... Sleepless nights are catching up on me Sleepless nights, I'm tired as I can be Since you've been gone I find I've lost my piece of mind And I know I won't unwind, sleepless nights I've tried to reason why I'm all alone I'm sure we'll work it out If you'd come home And then if you weren't sure If it could work out just once more You could slam the door And leave me sleepless nights I can remember a love so fine But then I went and messed around And lost the only love I've ever found |

African Breeze (David Byron/Daniel Boone) When the sound of the drums Is as dark as the sky Dancers are moving so fast they can fly I just sit all alone on a natural high With the African breeze Fever is coming and eyes getting blazed The smell of the night sets the whole place ablaze Sit all alone, casually gaze with the African breeze On the African breeze, african breeze I can smell, I can feel The African night and my senses Are reaching a new kind of high And I know that the feeling I'm getting is right With the African breeze This morning is easing me out of the spell Got the African breeze, It's been feeling so well I can return with a story to tell Of the African breeze |

Everybody's A Star (David Byron/Daniel Boone) I left you standing there at gate number 27 Trying to find the perfect words to say See, I've got to be in Phoenix and I simply cannot find the time to stay I am a rock 'n' roller And it takes a lot to bowl me over But you came along and turned me upside down Just holding hands, biting lips Is moving me so much, shakes the ground But it will be alright When I call you late tonight You can say the things That it's hard to say right now Yes, it will be alright Just look at that star That's shining bright 'Cause tonight I'm gonna be Everybody's star but my heart Will be right there with you Where you are My occupation makes it difficult To say when I'll be free To do whatever comes along See, I'm half-blinded by the lights That pick me out so bright when I sing my song I do my gig each night And most of the time I get it right So the people want to see me back again So please don't tell nobody That this rock'n'roll is driving me insane 'Cause tonight I'm gonna be Everybody's star but my heart Will be right there with you Where you are |

Heaven Or Hell (David Byron/Daniel Boone) I woke up cold this morning To see another rainy day And as I stopped my yawnin' I wished that I could get away There's nothing left to live for Or that's the way it seems to be You coud have tried to give more But that's the way it had to be Am I in Heaven, am I in Hell Am I in Heaven, or am I in Hell I had to make my mind up But I just could not find my way 'Cause every door I opened Just led me back to my dismay Here comes another evening And I have yet to win the fight The question's never answered It's either lost or out of sight Am I in Heaven or am I in Hell ... Where am I ? ... |

Only You Can Do It (David Byron/Daniel Boone) Hey, each time I see you cry I really wish that I could Somehow get it through I'm true to you Hey, I'd like to let you know It hurts each time you go And so it really goes to show Only you can do it Make me laugh and cry Only you can do it So what's the reason why oh why ... Say, I really wish you would Come just like you should 'Cause I can't explain the way I feel for you Say, would you consider this To leave without your kiss Would be a livin' misery 'Cause only you can do it Make me laugh and cry Only you can do it So what's the reason why oh why ... |

Don't Let Me Down (David Byron/Daniel Boone) I've been lookin' around and I think that I've found a little lady With her feet on the ground 'Cause in a world of ever-changing times You need someone to pull you through When nothing rhymes 'Cause it's a hard fightin' Sometimes frightenin' world we're in So every now and then A love becomes a friend Somebody that you can believe in So don't let me down Now that I've found that I love you, love you Don't let me down I wouldn't put no-one above you I've been waiting for a long, long time To overcome the past and lay it on the line So don't let me down this time around I've been crazy to think That we couldn't go wrong We'll have to see if we can both get along The only thing to do is really try and make The future bright for you and I 'Cause it's a hard fightin' Sometimes frightenin' world we're in But I believe in you and know We'll make it through 'Cause I know that we're right for each other |

Acetylene Jean (David Byron/Daniel Boone) Well she's a dirty little lady with an evil eye And she gets a little crazy When she's feeling high She walks into banks with her acetylene gun And burns through the armoured Windows just for fun She leaves everybody laying on the ground And tip-tip-tiptoes out of town Acetylene Jean She's gonna set you aflame Look out, she's real mean So just remember her name Acetylene Jean Such an innocent face Cutest you've ever seen Acetylene Jean, she's alright She looks like an angel But she's evil inside And the fact that she's The devil's queen ain't been denied And everytime we hang around She's waiting for the pay But when she steams right in And blows them all away 'Cause when she feels unkind She sets her torch alight And boot-boot-bootheels out of sight Acetylene Jean She's gonna set you aflame Look out, she's real mean So just remember her name Acetylene Jean You're such an innocent face Prettiest you've ever seen Acetylene Jean |

I Remember (David Byron/Daniel Boone) I can talk about it now because I'm free Didn't I say just a moment ago All of my life has been just like a show Always impatient and ready to go I remember I've been 'round the world with a whole bunch of clowns Seen all of the cities and most of the towns We had our ups and plenty of downs I remember I can talk about it now because I'm free But I'll always be the same old me Playing my music is all I can do To say all the things that is possible to But sometimes I thought that I wouldn't pull through I remember So I'll carry on for as long as I can With hardly a reason and never a plan 'Cause I'll be contented if I stay the man I remember well |

Now I'm a fool with no stage And it's all in your mind Love's hard to find So don't believe what everybody says about you I'll never need you to tell me 'cause I'm nearly gonna do without you All in your mind So whine, whine, whine Just let yourself you're old enough to give me a lesson the ones who really show you That's it's all n your mind Think of the things That I've done just for you Before you decide where I stand Worried awake stay and Think what you do Whole of my world's in your hands |
