Light Comes Down:

When the light comes down
We're gonna cuddle up close
Gonna paint this town
We're gonna rub their noses
Hey mama - wanna know
Why I'm never lonely?
Wanna know
Why I'm never sad?

When the night comes out
And the sandman rides
We're gonna sing and shout
I'm gonna take you places
Hey mamma - then I'll show you
Why you'll never be lonely
Then you'll know
How you'll never be sad

On your marks with the sun still pouring in
Hold steady 'till we're ready for the evening
Gettin' set, for a ride all around the town
Then you take me where you wanna go

On your mark with the sun still pouring in
Hold steady 'till we're ready for the evening
Gettin' set, take a ride all around the town
Then you tell me where you wanna go

When the light comes down
We're gonna button up tight
And lose this daytime frown
We're gonna smile all night long
Hey mamma - and I know
That you'll never be lonely
Wanna show you
That you'll never be sad

When the light comes down
We're gonna cuddle up close
We're gonna paint this town
We're gonna rub their noses

Baby when the light comes down
Yes when the light comes down
Baby when the light comes down
Yes when the light comes down
Yes when the lights come down
When the light comes down

Cheerleader:
	 
Legs up to her shoulders
All the way back down
She's not playin', she knows what she's doin'
And the word's out on the town
She wanna be a cheerleader
A cheerleader
She got the moves

She got the grooves
All the boys need her

Oh oh that's the way she wants to be
Cruisin' the touch line at a quarter to three
See her - she wanna be a cheerleader

Now shes gettin' bolder
Now she gets around
She's not takin no for an answer
She's not getting down

She's a no teaser
A no pleaser
She got the drive
She got the jive
She's a big squeezer

Oh oh that's all she wants to be
Shake a little tush for the boys to see
Wanna be her - a cheerleader
But what she wants the most
To be the perfect host
She wants to play the field all over

She needs it most of all
When it's too close to call
She wants to rock and roll all over
Yes all over

Legs up to her shoulders
All the way back down
She's not playin', she knows what she's doin'
The word's out on the town

She wanna be a cheerleader
A cheerleader
She got the moves
She got the grooves
All the boys need her

Oh oh that's all she wants to be
Shake a little tush for the boys to see
Wanna be her - a cheerleader

Oh oh that's all she wants to be
Cruisin' the touch line at a quarter to three
See her - she wanna be a cheerleader

See - her, wanna be a cheerleader

Lover Man:
	 
Baby's in the back seat, it's so real
Gotta love the feel of the automobile
You get a certain style when you're so mobile
And responsibility you can avoid that trial

Walkin' on the wild side
Lookin' at the down side
Just a little crazy
Got a kind of strange pride

Standin' at the back door, mercy me
Ain't no place for the man to be
It's a private love, no publicity
And the woman that he's waitin' for is bad news, he'll see
Goin' to a go-go
Slippin' to a life low
Goin' for the fake tan
Dreamin' up a fashion plan
?loverman

He's a very superficial man
He likes the girls that go there
He's a dude with a master plan
So young but why should he care?

Drivin' into downtown right on time
Smokin' like a pistol aimed on line
Waitin' for the tingles in his back
All those dangerous feelings getting' ready to attack

Walkin' on the barbed wire
Playin' with desire
Goin' for the night plan
Breakin' any heart he can
?loverman

He's a very superficial man
He likes the girls that go there
He's a dude with a master plan
So young but why should he care?

Baby's in the back seat
Gotta love the feel
Baby's in the back seat
Gotta love the feel

He's a very superficial man
He likes the girls that go there
He's a dude with a master plan
So young but why should he care?

He's a very superficial man
He likes the girls that go there
He's a dude with a master plan
So young but why should he care?

He's a very superficial man
His suit is ten years older than his last flame
He's the dude with the master plan

He's a very superficial man
He likes the girls that go there
He's a dude with a master plan

Open up Woman:

I'm beggin' forgiveness
But it's gonna take a miracle
'Cos I've been lyin'
She don't wanna know and I think it's impossible

Said open up woman
I know that you're sad and lonely
If I could hold you
We could make it again

Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned
Open up woman
Give me a chance

No more lyin'
No more secrets
If I could make you
I would take you away and cover up your sadness
I keep sayin' open up woman
But you don't wanna hear my promise
If I can't have you
Then I don't need a heart

Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned
Open up woman
And give me a chance

Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned

Livin' in silence
Of my own makin'
Though she won't show me
I know that her heart and soul are achin'

Open up woman
I know that you're lost and let down
I'm gonna keep tryin'
'Stead of losin' again

Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned

Open up woman
And give me a chance

Open up woman
Open up woman

Talk Talk:

Driftin' in the streetlight
Dancin' in the twilight zone
Dreamin' of a spotlight
Don't wanna go back home

Joe and his buddies are hangin' around

Bad reputation all over the town
All they ever gonna do
Is talk, talk, talk, talk

Lucy and Debbie and Donna and Joyce
Bad reputation the same as the boys
All they ever wanna do
Is walk, walk, walk, walk

Standin' on the sidwalk
Starin' at the storefront signs
Waitin' at the bus stop, truck stop
The hurry up and wait stop
They don't mind

Tony and Billy and Johnny and Sam
Struttin' and showin' they don't give a damn
All they ever gonna do
Is talk, talk, talk, talk

Cindy and Sunny and Sally and Sue
Thinkin' they're somethin', they're better than you
All they ever wanna do
Is walk, walk, walk, walk

They're lookin' forward and movin' backwards fast
They gotta have a future
'Cos sure as hell ain't got no past
But in the meantime

They're lookin' forward and movin' backwards fast
They gotta have a future
'Cos sure as hell they got no past

They always have a good time
They never get a wake up call
They're hangin' out at maisies and daisies
They always love the crazies
That ain't all

Tony and Billy and Johnny and Sam
Struttin' and showin' they don't give a damn
But all they ever gonna do
Is talk, talk, talk, talk

Cindy and Sunny and Sally and Sue
Thinkin' they're somethin', they're better than you
All they ever wanna do
Is walk, walk, walk, walk

Nothing So Good:
	 
Ain't nothin' so good
As a Sunday morning
When the day is dawnin'
Kinda makes you feel good

There ain't nothing so fine
As a lazy weekend
Just hangin' out with your best friend
There ain't nothing so good
There ain't nothing so good as a good time

There's nothing so right as the right time
I said please - don't count on me
Said please - don't count on me
There's nothing so good as a good time
Maybe there should
There ain't nothing so good

Ain't nothin' so strong
As the strength of a good love
I can't get enough
Can't ever get too much love

There ain't nothing so right
As the sound of your voice
I'm gonna make it my choice
And get into something good

There ain't nothing so good as a good time
There ain't nothing so right as the right time
I said please - don't count on me
Said please - don't you count on me
There's nothing so good as a good time
Maybe there should
There ain't nothing so good

Sail away
Can't drift too far
Gotta get away
Be where you are
Sail away, sail away
Sail on far
Gotta find a way
Into your heart

Ain't nothin' so good
As a Sunday morning
When the day is dawning
Kinda makes you feel good

There ain't nothing so fine
As a lazy weekend
Just hangin' out with your best friend
There ain't nothing so good
There ain't nothing so good as a good time
Ain't nothing so right as the right time
I said please - don't count on me
Said please - don't count on me
There's nothing so good as a good time
Maybe there should
There ain't nothing so good

Good, good, nothin' so good
Good, good, nothin' so good

Good, good, nothin' so good
Nothin' so good as a good time
Good, good, nothin' so good
Nothin' so good as a good time
Good, good, nothin' so good
Nothin' so good as a good time
Good, good, nothin' so good

Nothin' so good as a good time
Good, good, nothin' so good
Nothin' so good as a good time
Good, good, nothin' so good

Party in the Kremlin:
	 
Party in the Kremlin
People seein' red
Lenin got the elbow
It's a different mob instead
Party in the Kremlin
It's the only place to be
You better wear your Rolex
Like a true new revolutionary

Party in the Kremlin
No more KGB
So what is it they do now?
Can anybody see?
Party in the Kremlin
It's the hottest spot in town
Discos and casinos
Never let you down

Trippin' in Siberia
Rock and roll hysteria
Vladivostok to Moscow
And all points in between
It's a new place
Got a new face
And a brand new dream

Party in the Kremlin
Suits from Tokyo
Guccis are a shinin'
Smokin' Marlboro
Party in the Kremlin
Drivin' foreign cars
You better find an angle
If you want to play a part

Dancing bears and presidents
Acting under influence
We got bank loans
And cell phones
And Levis to wear
They got us linin' up
For Mickey D's in Pushkin Square

Vsea govorjat dal

Party in the Kremlin
Party in the Kremlin
Party in the Kremlin
Party in the Kremlin

God Save the South:
	 
It was a red hot night night in Mobile
Sweat glistened on the reverend's chin
His mohair suit was shinin'

He told us all about sin

It could be wall to wall in Wall Street
We could be livin' hand to mouth
Jesus loved a yankee
But God saved the south

Across the street in the pool hall
Bubba put the eight ball down
It's a high five celebration
They passed the Jack around

It's wall to wall in Wall Street
We're livin' hand to mouth
Jesus loved a yankee
But God saved the south

God saved the south
Yankee boy shut your mouth
Yes, God saved the south
Yankee boy shut your mouth
Shut your mouth

Some long haired boys with guitars
Playin' behind the chicken wire
They're goin' up to New York City
Gonna sing about Atlanta's fire

It could be wall to wall in Wall Street
We could be livin' hand to mouth
Jesus loved a yankee
But God saved the south

And God saved the south
Yankee boy shut your mouth
Yes, God saved the south
Yankee boy shut your mouth

Yes, God saved the south
Yankee boy shut your mouth
And God saved the south
So,Yankee boy shut your mouth

And God saved the south
Yankee boy shut your mouth
Yes, God saved the south
So, Yankee boy shut your mouth

God saved the south
So, Yankee boy shut your mouth

Robber and the Roadie:
	 
When Willie met Ronnie he was runnin' up a track
He was bent down, burned out, carryin' a sack
Come on boy, you got to stop and help me some
And keep this money hidden when the police come

Ronnie was shiverin' and makin' funny sounds
He was lookin' like a fox
That was runnin' from the hounds
Sure little buddy, I can lighten up your load

You half it up, I'll hit it up, I'll take it down the road

Never had a better combination been planned
'Cos Willie was a roadie with a rock 'n' roll band
They were heads back, celebratin', drinkin' moonshine
Heads down, here we go across another state line
Tanked up and bullet proof
They couldn't give a monkey's
Damn if he didn't hide the money in a drum case
Pack 'em up, hit em up, do another show
The robber and the roadie got a long way to go

Willie and Ronnie

Anytime they wanted they would pull another job
Anywhere they found a place
And it was fat enough to rob
If Ronnie saw the police he would make a little sign
Then Willie stuck the money in the band's back line
In the main racks, bass stacks
Anywhere he thought it could
Be hidden out of sight
Until the finished out in Hollywood
Split it down the middle
When they took it out the sound
The robber and the roadie got enough to go around

Willie and Ronnie
The robber and the roadie

Forty seven days and they had only one to go
When the telegram arived
To say the band wouldn't show
The crowd was getting' nasty and it turned into a rage
The bottles and the bodies started coverin' the stage
Then the cops came running in
And breaking up the riotin'
When they saw the money falling
Out the back of everything
Hey little buddy think it's time to run and duck
The robber and the roadie could be runnin' out of luck

Willie and Ronnie had to skip it out of town
They were sittin' by the highway like Jackson Browne
They were stickin' out their thumbs
In the middle of the night
When they saw the car comin' with the spinnin' red light
Wide eyed, tongue tied feelin' pretty stranded
No use in runnin' they were caught red handed
Pull 'em in, lock 'em up, put 'em in a row
The robber and the roadie got nowhere to go

Willie and Ronnie
The robber and the roadie

We got state police and the FBI
Willie and Ronnie
You get a big reward
If you can make these boy's mamas cry
The robber and the roadie
We got the national guard and the bear in the sky

Willie and Ronnie
You get a big reward if you can make these mothers cry
The robber and the roadie

Waiting:
	 
Waitin' - got a leash around my neck
Trainin' - I'll never be your pet
Dyin', sighin'
You got me flyin', cryin'

I've been waitin' - standing by your side
Prayin' - tryin' to turn the tide
Spinnin', grinnin'
You got me flyin' high

Waitin' - I've been tryin' to state my case
Racin' - Tryin' to keep it in the chase
Slippin', slidin'
I'm gonna be seekin', findin'

You're strokin', I'm smokin'
Your're playin' and I'm layin' a plan
I'm getting' all the lovin'
I'm getting' all the lovin' I can

You're leadin' me astray
I'm pleadin' - I'm leadin'
You're feedin' - I'm beggin'

Waitin' - seems like all my life
Skatin' - livin' on thin ice
Dreamin', schemin'
You're gonna do me in

Waitin' - When are you gonna come back?
Strung out - You got me on the rack
Duckin', divin'
I'm gonna be midnight drivin'

You're takin', I'm breakin'

I'm shakin' and it's makin' me bad - I'm so sad
I'm reelin' all the feelin'
I'm reelin' all the feelin' I can

I've got to make you stay
You're leavin' - I'm grievin'
You're sellin' - I'm buyin' - you're lyin'

You're prayin' and I'm layin' a plan
I'm gettin' all the lovin'
I'm gettin' all the lovin' I can

You're leadin' me astray
I'm pleadin', I'm needin'
You're feedin', I'm beggin'

I'm shakin' and it's makin' me bad - I'm so sad
I'm reelin' all the feelin'
I'm reelin' all the feelin' I can

I've got to make you stay
You're leavin' - I'm grievin'
You're sellin' - I'm buyin' - you're lyin'

May Heaven Keep You:
	 
Beautiful - this love was meant to be
Innocent - you're always there for me
I pray you'll stay to share this life with me
May heaven keep you

I fill your days with my dependence
You fill my nights with your loveliness
I would give my soul for your protection
May heaven keep you

When we're alone
I make you silent promises
As time goes on
I hope we feel the same
All that we hold
Here safely in our keeping
What's mine is yours
I bless the day you came

Silent now - this moment's tenderness
Breathless now - you leave me sighin'
I hold you close to stop your cryin'
May heaven keep you

When we're alone
I make you silent promises
As time goes on
I hope we feel the same
All that we hold
Here safely in our keeping
What's mine is yours
I bless the day you came

When we're alone
I make you silent promises
As time goes on
I hope we feel the same
All that we hold
Here safely in our keeping
What's mine is yours
I bless the day you came

When we're alone
I make you silent promises
As time goes on
I hope we feel the same
