Just To Get Into It: I know that she don't like me She knows that I don't care I could mistreat and bad mouth that woman Turn around and she'd be there She ain't got no pride she don't even try to hide What she does It's a buzz To be seen in your limosine She'll do strange bedroom scenes She likes rock'n'roll, she would give her all Just to get into it Her head's full of rock'n'roll dreams She's exactly what she seems She likes rock'n'roll, she would give her all Just to get into it Hangin' around hotel bars Droppin' someone's name Usin' those lines that you heard before Playin' the same old games She ain't got no style Eyes that never smile Feel like your on trial She ain't worth while To be seen in your limosine She'll do strange bedroom scenes She likes rock'n'roll, she would give her all Just to get into it Her head's full of rock'n'roll dreams She's exactly what she seems She likes rock'n'roll, she would give her all Just to get into it She wants to interview Says the world should know your views But how can you talk about someone you love With someone you can see right through She's just comin' on Tryin' to pretend that it's Just a yawn Ah, come on To be seen in your limosine She'll do strange bedroom scenes She likes rock'n'roll, she would give her all Just to get into it Her head's full of rock'n'roll dreams She's exactly what she seems She likes rock'n'roll, she would give her all Just to get into it |

May The Sunshine: May the sun, the sun shine bright May the sun shine bright on you May the sun, the sun shine bright May the sun shine bright on you Someone woke me up again last night Talkin' to me about my last time Don't tell me I know it's late Please, please lay me down a line Pick me up before I start to fall Never let your dreams grow small May the sun, the sun shine bright May the sun shine bright on you May the sun, the sun shine bright May the sun shine bright on you Talkin' to my lover, she was out It was independence day Don't be nervous, you can hold me tight Someone turned the light out on the stairs Was it just the wind I heard Just another helping hand May the sun, the sun shine bright May the sun shine bright on you May the sun, the sun shine bright May the sun shine bright on you Take me back down the yellow brick road Let me get my ticket to your heart Stranger's hidin' on my land Could it be it's keepin' me apart Give me time don't you gimme no love Let the sunshine in your heart May the sun, the sun shine bright May the sun shine bright on you May the sun, the sun shine bright May the sun shine bright on you |

Simple Solution: (Cleminson) Old man, don't tell me what you did in your day I got problems of my own on the way Look you now, where the locusts abound Pray they don't feed on your sacred ground Vibrations, are burning my hands Slowly walking, stalking through these crazy lands Defending the need, with a silent scream For another time, for another dream Jack boots, hi-jacks Ray guns and spray guns We got them all for free Look to the stars for consolation It could be there lookin' at me Send me down a simple solution Send me down a simple solution now No cheap-o, clean-o, is gonna wash away my blues I need a good friend that's gonna give me some clues The one on the cross, he almost had it boss He was really spreading the news Ah, but the destruct mutt, he's back in business He ain't about to lose Jackboots, hi-jacks Ray guns and spray guns We got them all for free Look to the stars for consolation It could be there lookin' at me It could be there lookin' at me Send me down a simple solution Send me down a simple solution now And the price-for life Is one more run on that chicken wire As the hero returns With eyes of fire To another man to man, so damn you man! Old man don't tell me what you did in your day I got problems of my own on the way So look you now, where the locusts abound Prat they don't feed on your sacred ground. Jack boots, hi-jacks Ray guns and spray guns We got them all for free Look to the stars for consolation It could be there lookin' at me Send me down a simple solution Send me down a simple solution now |

Star: Walkin' alone at night in the cold rain Wond'rin if I will see you again In some corner light Runnin' down the road in the warm sun Dreaming that I am still the one Resting by your side You took the road to fortune and fame Your name in lights I want you to know I still feel the same Star, I still love you I still love you Remembering when you played me that first song The first show that you asked me along Just to be around Workin' so hard till you got that first break You said you could turn them around Give them something new You took the road to fortune and fame Your name in lights I want you to know I still feel the same Star, I still love you I still love you Got that photograph of you and me I hear your voice on the radio Will I ever lay with you again Nobody planned it we just seemed to drift now I always seem to have to leave Just as you come around But someday soon girl I just got to see I just gotta find out If we still have time You took the road to fortune and fame Your name in lights I want you to know I still feel the same Star, I still love you I still love you |

Claim To Fame: What gives you this crazy thought That you can talk to my woman What's your claim to fame What gives you have a mind To even think her name What's your claim to fame? What's your name? Gonna give you just one more chance To make amends to my woman You got yourself to blame Only thing that's left to do Is to think real hard about what you're gonna do About your crazy game What's your name? What's your name? Who the hell do you think you are? What's your game? Are you some top of the pops star? What gives you this crazy thought That you think you can talk to my woman What's your claim to fame? What gives you half a mind To even think her name What's your claim to fame? What's your name? |

Whatever You Want Babe: If you wanna walk out the door You don't need a key If you don't wanna come by no more I'll set you free Whatever you want babe Whatever you need Just as long as you know babe What you're doin' to me What you're doin' to me If you wanna say it's a day I won't disagree I would never stand in your way That wouldn't be me Whatever you want babe Whatever you need Just as long as you know babe What it's doin' to me What it's doin' to me I would never tie you down You've always been free to leave If you wanna make it goobye That's O.K. with me Got so tired of asking you why I'll just let it be Whatever you want babe Whatever you need Just as long as you know babe What it's doin' to me And if I try to find a reason For all the things I do Would you try to understand, the way I am And how I care for you Would you give me your undivided attention And the benefit of your doubt? Ooh!, ooh! |

What's In It For Me: You want me to be your friend Stick by you through thick or thin What's in it for me What's in it for me? You'd like me to deal you in Hold your hand right to the end What's in it for me What's in it for me? You want me to be your friend You want me and you want him This ain't for me This ain't for me You want someone you can trust You want love, you don't want much What's in it for me What's in it for me You want my name on the line I don't feel that way inclined What's in it for me What's in it for me? You want me to be your friend You want me and you want him This ain't for me This ain't for me |

No Mean City: Stopped in fright at a traffic light Red eyes staring me out Strange feelings comin' down tonight Can't quite figure it out Fit your alibi before your crime No need in serving no time Case you scam, or you'll get rammed Stretched out on that line Hangin' out at a shooting site Cold turkey calling a tune All the answers coming late tonight Try to look like you're immune In your eyes you can feel the heat But the feelings outa touch You're working on just a holding on You're hurtin' oh so much Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets Can you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streets Can you feel your own heartbeat Can you feel your blood begin to heat? Call off your dogs 'cause I am no fox Turn off your white light My alibi is rock tight Your night stick, cheap trick is pullin' me in Your monkey suit, stage fright, black and white blue suit, law suit Is wearin', mighty thin Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets Can you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streets Can you feel your own heartbeat Can you feel your blood begin to heat? Borstal boy laughing at justice now he's a star And the perfume he wore lingers on the king's road Like a whore Legs wrapped around a plastic stool He's making more in one day Than you've had.......hot, hot dinners Call out your legions, the savior is loose Telling true stories you know that ain't no use Your empire is burning you can feel the smell Your hot rod, space pod, tax relief, kill machine Is looking mean And should be working well Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets Can you feel your own heartbeat Can you feel the pulse in the streets Can you feel your own heartbeat Can you feel your blood begin to heat? |
