Love Is Forever Michael Schenker, Phil Mogg I don't want to settle down Stop my heart and turn around Rebel nature, just got to be free I'm in the right place, right place to be Washers, dryers, dealers, and souls Looking into the fire Flat caps, whippets, lovers, and wives Balanced out on the wire And she said Love is forever babe Love is a tool Servant for Jesus A slave for a fool I look out through love's back door I escape but not any more Revelation help me see I'm in the wrong place, the wrong place to be Washers dryers dealers and souls Looking up to rise higher Flat caps whippets lovers and wives Balanced out on the wire And she said Love is forever babe Love is a tool Servant for Jesus Slave for a fool Love is for worshipped Love is a test Love is a firebrand burnin' A hole in her breast Love is ... Washers dryers dealers and souls Looking into the fire Flat caps, whippets, lovers and wives, Balanced out on the wire And she said Love is forever babe Love is a tool Servant for jesus Slave for a fool Love is for worship Love is a test Love is the firebrand burning A hole in her breast Love is a blossom Love is a lie She said be careful boy This ain't no wild cherry pie Love is forever, love is forever, love is forever |
Unraveled Pete Way, Mogg Yes she will be beautiful And you will be vain When the honeymoon is over She will suck out your brain Give me back my life Give me back my call Simply set me free Stop banging my head on the wall Put a black hat on me Take out a voodoo bone And the scars across my ceiling They paint a picture to the great unknown I'm coming unraveled Spinning out of control Becoming unstable It's taking its toll And the lamps keeps sliding Across the kitchen floor And there's something to remember Is this the life of a cross-cut saw And I'm coming unraveled Spinning out of control I'm becoming unstable I'm still paying the toll Great expectations will have a glitch Searching for power, may kill the bitch Theater of pain Love or lust in vain Unraveled again! Give me back my life, Give me back my call Simply set me free, stop banging my head on the wall She will be beautiful, And you will be vain When the honeymoon is over, she will suck out your brain I'm coming unraveled, Spinning out of control I'm becoming unstable, And I can't, I can't let go Coming unraveled, Spinning out of control Becoming unstable Nobody, nobody knows I'm coming unraveled, Spinning out of control Becoming unstable, I can't, I can't let go |
Miss The Lights Schenker, Mogg Walking tall, full of tedious charm, The smoothest (???) in (???) The mission boys all cross their palms Don't you know who I am I guess you miss the lights? huh! I guess you miss the fame I guess you miss everybody Hanging onto your name Little caesar is prince of the city ??? In this town there's no pity This man stands alone I guess you miss the lights - ha! I guess you miss the fame I guess you miss everybody Hanging onto your name Sometimes when you're all alone And the blue turns to gray Better get down on those pinky knees, And you start to pray I guess you miss the lights - ha! I guess you miss the fame I guess you miss everybody Kiss-kissing your name A glimmering???, a twilight star And so much love for show, A returning wave from the gallery bar And share the afterglow I guess you miss the lights I guess you miss the fame I guess you miss everybody Hanging onto your name Ha! I guess you miss the lights I guess you miss the fame, haha! I guess you miss everybody Hanging onto your name (fade out music and chorus) I guess you miss the lights I guess you miss everybody Kiss-kissing your name |
Midnight Train Schenker, Mogg Oh my darling will you come to me Shaking now just like a willow tree So tell me what's the story This track we'll ride to glory Coming home Pretty Karla and her Russian clothes Clapboard house and a different nose Love keeps a candle burning These steel wheels are turning Back for home Come in out of the rain Come out of the night Out on the midnight train Midnight train Come out of the light Come out of the rain Riding the midnight train Midnight train Moscow lights, well they dim and glow The taste is sweeter than its driven snow So tell me what's the story This track to ride to glory Coming home Come out of the rain, come out of the lights, Out on the midnight train, midnight train Come out of the lights, come out in the rain, riding the midnight train, midnight train Oh my darling will you come to me Shaking now just like a willow tree Come out of the lights, come out in the rain, Riding the midnight train, midnight train Out of the rain, live again, riding the midnight train, midnight train Come of the lights, into the rain, riding the midnight train, midnight train One little strange, come back again |
Fool's Gold Schenker, Mogg Fool's gold, sparkling like the midnight sun Fool's gold, touch the ivory handles on my gun (sold out to me?), Charlatans and thieves I guess so wrong not to me?), Jokers and the priests? Fool's gold, stranded on a (point gloss?) Sea Fool's gold, nothing here and nothing to see (sold out to me?), The weasels and the feared (and it's so wrong not to me?), The ghosts of the disappeared All gone away... Sometimes, when I'm touched by love, by hate, or by the grace of God Sometimes, in the dark when hope is fading, Or no longer flies, I won't sympathize Spend my time getting high Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a Christmas tree Tired of living on my own, someone came and take me home Sometimes, this jungle life is boring, pawing, Ready for a feast, someone kill the beast Outside, streets are teeming, breathing heavy, Ready to explode, my brother's heavy load, What you reap is what you sow Someone came to rescue me Lit up like a Christmas tree Stranded here on my own Someone came to take me home Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a Christmas tree When I'm out here on my own, someone came and took me home Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a Christmas tree Stranded here on my own, someone came and took me home |
In The Middle Of Madness Schenker, Mogg Don’t you really love her, don’t you really care You’ve been looking forever, how did she get you there In the middle of madness, when all has gone In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon Isn’t she so pretty, isn’t she so fine Haven’t you been blessed to hold her all the time In the middle of madness, when all has gone In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon Have you found a heaven, try to see the worth, Looking at the future, she’s right here on earth In the middle of madness, when all has gone In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon In the middle of madness, when all has gone In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon |
The Smell Of Money Schenker, Mogg One more day, with a tumble fall, Down the money pit, with nothing to show Hey hey yeah Another twist, in the horror tale It's an open coffin, that needs one more nail Smell of money Maybe I'm a victim, (Soft silk and bamboo?) Maybe it's the smell of money Attracts me to you... Hey hey yeah money Two clean shirts I'm out on bail As the barroom baits They start to wail The smell of money Maybe I'm a victim, (Soft silk and bamboo?) Maybe it's the smell of money, that brings me to you Stretched down across the ceiling Will domes shimmer and glow Golden citadels While the autumn wind billows and flows Dancing nights, in the lost and found Move really nice to that money sound Smell of money, smell of money, smell of money, smell of money I need I bleed |
Rise Again Way, Mogg Going to Jamaica, Warm and coral waters flow There she goes Sun kissed her body, in this magic feel love grow, Love grows Feel like letting go Hey Mr. Saturday night Often right out the hole It stops in a minute, It's right down in it Hey, we're really back on a roll I don't know why, I don't know why Feel so good I could die, I could die Great escape, I'll be there By the skin of my teeth, on a wish and a prayer With a head full of hammers Both feet in the grave I'm gonna stand I'm gonna rise again Dream time (Lavinia??), Even though the odds are stacked, she's coming back (moon monkeys barking?) In a bitter chocolate glow, There she goes, feel like letting go... Hey, Mr. Cool jazz nights, let the fever go, It stops in a minute, I'm down in it Hey, play it long and slow I don't know why, I don't know why, Feels so good I could die, I could die, With a great escape, I'll be there, by the skin of my teeth on a wish and a prayer With a head full of hammers, both feet in the grave, I'm gonna stand I'm gonna rise again (instrumental) With a great escape, I'll be there, by the skin of my teeth on a wish and a prayer With a head full of hammers both feet in the grave, I'm gonna stand I'm gonna rise again I've been stricken, I'll be there, by the skin of my teeth on a wish and a prayer, and I'm Not going down, both feet in the grave, I'm gonna stand I'm gonna rise again. Dream time (Lavinia??) Feel like letting go. |
Serenade Schenker, Mogg Hey hey put me in your pocket for a day Let me hold the rhythm of your sway Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade Hey hey, I could see the magic in your eyes, There’s a fire beneath these spanish skies, Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade Hey hey, let me mix you up a recipe Here’s doctor love to give you therapy Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade Out on the beach, blueprint of your soul With the midnight of the city A thousand eyes look down from space Hey hey, put me in your pocket for a day Let me hold the rhythm of your sway Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade |
Cowboy Joe Schenker, Mogg I'm not looking to change your mind, There's a place, call it home It's no secret, the world unwinds Maybe now you're not alone It's just another day in the life of Cowboy Joe Straitlaced to the bone (This story will not play?) You take the wheel and play the chance Suddenly the room's divided As in the way of true romance It's always undecided It's just another day in the life of cowboy Joe Shipwrecked to the bay (This story will not play?) Every time he climbs back up Smacked down with a dime It's evens or odds now Just ran out of time Love's a struggle, there's a fight No bone of contention So unhappy, well here's the bite That's the mother of invention It's just another day In the life of cowboy Joe Strange place to play It's just another day in the life of cowboy Joe |
The World and His Dog Schenker, Mogg Windows are closing, you smell the track Traffic is heavy Up riding the rack Bodies are buried, freeways and wells Boneyards with vistas Gateways to hell When it's all over, You'll frown and fret Way down the line Where no angels tread Soldiers are gathering, not missing a beat A poetry reading, while reaping the wheat Out looking for Venus She's black marble on ice Cut to precision Weighted like dice When it's all over, You'll frown and fret Way down the line, where no angels tread Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't The world and his dog, won't care if you don't (instrumental) When it's all over, You'll frown and fret Way down the line, where no angels tread Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't The world and his dog won't care if you don't When it's all over, You'll frown and fret Way down the line, where no angels tread |
