Too Hot To Handle
Way/Mogg

Caught in the crossfire, warnin' fight
Let's just make or break game
Swept up by the road in waves of the night
Big chase for fame

I was too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I was too, too hot
Too hot to handle

Wink of an eye, the feelings run high
The rock and roll malaise
But I ain't no romance
And I ain't no soul chance
Won't get no quick change

And I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle

Sha la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
Sha la la la, keep on coming
Do it once but never the same

Sha la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
Sha la la la, keep on coming
Do it once but never the same

I'm in your town, won't fool around
I'll make some at your step
Just like the story says, these boys are bad
So keep out of shootin' range

And I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle 

And I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle

Just Another Suicide
Mogg

Just a bad situation
Got me low, feelin' down
I'm wonderin' why
Caught me unawares
No one knows and no one cares
They put you down no matter how you try

Put the words together
Feelin' so strong
I can't last forever
I can't hold on, I can't hold on, no no

Somebody, someone is tearin' my whole inside
Somebody, someone is takin' me for a ride
Just a little bit of madness
Do you no harm

Another night, it's a nervous shakedown
Lookin' for a place to hide
This could be your nervous breakdown
It's just another suicide

Just a cold realization, gotta go
I'm gonna turn and run away
Got me in a spin, I'm gonna lose and never win
They put you down no matter what you say

Put the words together
Feelin' so strong
I can't last forever
I can't hold on, I can't hold on, no no

Another night, it's a nervous shakedown
Lookin' for a place to hide
This could be your nervous breakdown
It's just another suicide

Just a bad situation 
I can feel it gettin' closer everyday
Say I'm out of line
I'm takin' out of borrowed time
What's the use of tryin' anyway

Put the words together
Feelin' so strong
I can't last forever
I can't hold on, I can't hold on, no no

Somebody, someone is takin' me for a ride
Somebody, someone is tearin' my whole inside
Just a little bit of madness
Do you no harm

Another night, it's a nervous shakedown
Lookin' for a place to hide
This could be your nervous breakdown
It's just another suicide
Another suicide

Another suicide, another suicide
Another suicide, another suicide
Another suicide, another suicide
Another suicide, another suicide
Another suicide, another suicide

Try Me
Schenker/Mogg

Tell me why we're never more than strangers
Tell me why you never let it show

But when you're close to me
And whisper, I need you
In the cold mornin' light

Try me, oh take me for a little while
before it's over and you leave me with just a smile
Try me, oh let me be the one
You say it's over
But for me it had just begun

Tell me why we seem no more than strangers
Tell me why you feelin' never goes

But when you're close to me
And whisper, I need you
In the cold mornin' light

Try me, oh take me for a little while
before it's over and you leave me with just a smile
Try me, oh let me be the one
You say it's over
But for me it had just begun

Lights Out
Schenker/Mogg/Parker/Way

Wind blows back and the frightened Titan
Runs all the way
Out to the [fun all night long]
Maybe now your time has come

From the back streets there's a rumblin' 
Smell of anarchy
No more nice time, black boy shoe shines
High in the sky dreams

Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run

Heaven help those who help themselves
That's the way it goes
Bright lit thoughts  once been taught
And now it shows

Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run

Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run

You keep comin', there's no  runnin'
Tried a thousand times
Under your feet grass is growin' 
Time we said goodbye

Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run

Lights out, lights out in London
Lights out, lights out in London

Gettin' Ready
Schenker/Mogg

You said that was that but this is it
How are you to make the pieces fit
Into a plan to start a new life
Friends pat your back, then stab you with a knife

I must be blind
I'm gettin' ready to redefine
No loose connections as it feels right
I'm gettin ready to hit the line

Can you fee me
Inside and out, I'm just waiting for you
Cuz it's alright
Now I know just what I want to do

I must be blind
I'm gettin' ready to redefine
No loose connections as it feels right
I'm gettin ready to hit the line

When a day breaks, turns you around
And your world upside down
And the visions fade
Rights and wrongs and just where you've gone

I must be blind
I'm gettin' ready to redefine
No loose connections as it feels right
I'm gettin ready to hit the line

[Pickin' up] is such an awful drag
And I could lose my mind
And every  time that I turned around
I never knew if I could really find you

You said that was that but this is it
How are you to make the pieces fit
Into a plan to start a new life
Friends pat your back, then stab you with a knife

I must be blind
I'm gettin' ready to redefine
No loose connections as it feels right
I'm gettin ready to hit the line

Alone Again Or
MacLean

Yeah, said it's alright, I won't forget
All the times I've waited patiently for you
And you do just what you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear

Yeah, I heard a funny thing somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost anyone
I think that people are the greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight my dear

Yeah, said it's alright, I won't forget
All the times I've waited patiently for you
And you do just what you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear

Electric Phase
Way/Mogg/Schenker

On the wires I can hear you comin'
With a rush and a strummin'
This electric phase ain't no teenage craze

In your house a phone is ringin'
Just a hot touch that keeps lingerin'
You said loving's easy only if you please

All I need is communication
Not a line on your reputation
I don't want a handshake
There ain't no big mistake

There's no illusion in this wild confusion
Who knows I'm crazy, no chance of maybe

I'd like to know you better
But I'm goin' down so fast
Help me now to feel it, I just can't conceal it
Meantime I've got to show you how it's really got to be
Just let me be alone, left with your darlin' tone

There's no illusion in this wild confusion
Who knows I'm crazy, no chance of maybe

On the wires I can hear you comin'
With a rush and a strummin'
This electric phase ain't no teenage craze

In your house a phone is ringin'
Just a hot touch that keeps lingerin'
You said loving's easy only if you please

All I need is communication
Not a line on your reputation
I don't want a handshake
There ain't no big mistake

Love To Love
Schenker/Mogg

Oh it's been too many times and I can't go back
Night bars, guitars, rundown motels like shacks
What it mounts up to I don't want it at all
Lost you and I want you today

Misty green and blue
Love to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Love to love to love you

To be something, to be near you
Don't say that youll never know
Love to love to love you

Half the time it could seem funny
The other half is just too sad
This west bound moon's only rise and fall
Lost you and I want you today

Misty green and blue
Love to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Love to love to love you

To be something, to be near you
I don't know where I'm goin' to
I've tried and I need you to stay

On With The Action
Schenker/Mogg

Something going on at the corner of the block
It's the kids down there
They were startin' to rock
Hot black fever runnin every place
When the Greek kid pulled a knife and pushed it in his face
Some girl makes it with a lover in the dark
As the ambulance pulls away, she cries out more

And it's all night long, all night long
On with the action
Lead the fastest loves alive
On with the action
If you can't run you can't survive
On with the action
Mama's boy and teacher's pet
On with the action
It's down our street, is it in yours yet

All the kids stand laughin'
They never had such fun
Then someone cuts a brown man who just can't run
And the queen that's been standin' behind the toilet door
His parents don't like boyfriends, call him a whore
But the minister's starin' with his bible in his hand
Was this Gods children, he didn't understand

And it's all night long, all night long
On with the action
Lead the fastest loves alive
On with the action
If you can't run you can't survive
On with the action
Mama's boy and teacher's pet
On with the action
It's down our street, is it in yours yet

And it's all night long, all night long
On with the action
Lead the fastest loves alive
On with the action
If you can't run you can't survive
On with the action
Mama's boy and teacher's pet
On with the action
It's down our street, is it in yours yet
