Perfect strangers

Can you remember
Remember my name
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
And cold, cold spirits of ice
All my life, I am the echo of your past

I am returning
The echo of a point in time
Distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
And laughing, as the spirits appear
All your life, shadows of another day

And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect strangers

I know I must remain
Inside this silent well of sorrow

A strand of silver
Hanging through the sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind
Is aching, with the dead of the night
Precious life, your tears are lost in
falling rain

And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect strangers

Under the gun

Infidel can you hear
Would-be strange delight
I need you to give your sympathy tonight
When you hear what I say
Deeds I've done
Realise I've never lost and never won

I've got a feeling that it's never right
There was a reason but it's out of sight
It's going down somewhere tonight
Under the gun.....

Put death in my hand
Learn to fight
Who could care if it's wrong or if it's
right
We got no choice
Under command
We're ordered to die or take this land

Stupid bastards and religious freaks
So safe in their castle keeps
They turn away as a mother weeps
Under the gun.....

When brave men fall
Under crimson skies
There's a sadness reflected in a soldier's
eyes Tears will dry
For those I kill
Remember no more their names but someone
will

The only way to be victorious
Screw the fools who think it's glorious
Who gives a toss about the likes of us?
Under the gun...

Knocking at your back door

Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a Samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And none of us could reach that high
She came on like a teaser
I had to touch and please her
Enjoy a little paradise
The log was in my pocket
When Lucy met the Rockett
And she never knew the reason why

I can't deny it
With that smile on her face
It's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase

Feel it coming...
It's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running
It's not against the law
The point of no return...
And now you know the score
And now you're learning
What's knockin' at your back door

Sweet Nancy was so fancy
To get into her pantry
Had to be the aristocracy
The members that she toyed with
At her city club
Were something in diplomacy
So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues
And now she eases gently
From her Austin to a Bentley
Suddenly she feels so young

I can't deny it
With that smile on her face
It's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase

Feel it coming...
It's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running
It's not against the law
The point of no return...
And now you know the score
And now you're learning
What's knockin' at your back door

Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a Samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And none of us could reach that high
She came on like a teaser
I had to touch and please her
Enjoy a little paradise
The log was in my pocket
When Lucy met the Rockett
And she never knew the reason why

I can't deny it
With that smile on her face
It's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase

Feel it coming...
It's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running
It's not against the law
The point of no return...
And now you know the score
And now you're learning
What's knockin' at your back door

A gypsy's kiss

John San, what you can
La la Janette dance in sand
What's the mystery, my son
Gypsy Dan, Caravan
Won Tun Wan with your Chinese fan
It's part of history my son

Murder and rape with your power
The 10th revolution in far away days
It's come to this
A gypsy's kiss
All your power's gonna fade in the haze

Ya who' Jumme gae bile ya heed
The Senorita said
"I'll drag yer lungs out through yer nose"
Space truckers free and high
Teamsters get ya by and by
That should keep you on your toes

They got a gun at your head
But you ain't necessarily playing their game
They can't resist
A Gypsy's Kiss
All that's needed to drive them insane

John Wayne, The Alamo
Crazy Horse, Geronimo
I'll smoke a piece with you
Mind, body, heart and soul
We got rock and roll
And there's nothing they can do

Hear the small voice of truth
Above the shouting despair of the crowd
What do you wish
A Gypsy's Kiss
Gets you strong for crying out loud

Not responsible

Found some money in an old black jacket
I'm going out tonight gonna find me a woman
or two
I don't know how long it'll last
But I never regret the past
When I wake up tomorrow
I'll be looking around for you

I got no reason to be down at the station
I got no ticket but I'm gonna take a fucking
ride
Don't care where I go
I never seem to know
I never had a penny
But I never wondered why
No, I never wondered why

If I'm cold
I need some heat
If I'm hungry
Then I eat
I'm not responsible

I woke up this morning and I couldn't find
my shoes
It's one long party and I haven't seen the
sun for days
I'd take you out tonight
But I'm just a little light
So let's go out anyway
You'll be amazed

I take my woman to the palace dancing
I never could've made it
But the doorman is a friend of mine
So I raise a glass to you
The foot is on the other shoe
You can pay the bill
And while you're at it pick up mine
No, no, I don't mind

If it rains, I stay inside
If I'm scared, I run and hide
I'm not responsible

Black night (Live)

Black night is not right
I don't feel so bright
I don't care to sit tight
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free
Free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

I don't need a dark tree
I don't want a rough sea
I can't feel, I can't see
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free
Free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

Black night, black night
I don't need black night
I can't see, dark night
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free
Free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

Smoke on the water (Live)

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time, no

Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground, now

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
But burning down

You know
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
He was pulling kids out of ground

When it all was over
We had to find another place
Swiss time was running on
It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
It was burning
Smoke on the water
Down to the ground, it was

You know
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just
outside
Making our music there

A few red lights, a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
Everywhere
It was tumbling down
Everybody was crying

Hush

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

I got a certain little girl she's on my mind
No doubt about it she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometime she's gonna make me feel so bad

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

Hush, hush, I thought I heard her calling my
name, now
Hush, hush, She broke my heart but I love her
just the same, now
Hush, hush, I thought I heard her calling my
name, now
Hush, hush, I need her loving and I'm not to
blame, now

(Love, love) You got it early in the morning
(Love, love) You got it late in the evening
(Love, love) Well, I want it, I need it
(Love, love) Oh, I gotta gotta have it
She got lovin' like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
Blown my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat y'all and I can't sleep

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

Listen! Hush, hush, I thought I heard her
calling my name now
Hush, hush, She broke my heart but I love her
just the same now
Hush, hush, I thought I heard her calling my
name now
Hush, hush, I need her loving and I'm not to
blame now

(Love, love) You got it early in the morning
(Love, love) You got it late in the evening
(Love, love) Oh, I want it, I need it
(Love, love) Hey, I gotta gotta have it

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

Bad attitude

Take a look at these dirty hands
Take a look at this face, these blazing eyes
Do you see me as a broken man
Tell me, are you really that blind...

You got yourself a load of trouble now
You got yourself a bad deal
You say I've got a bad attitude
How d'you think I feel...

You got me locked in a paper cage
You think I'm chained up, but I'm just tied down
Step aside, get out of my way
I won't hurt you, I had enough being pushed around...

You got yourself a load of trouble now
You got yourself a bad deal
You say I've got a bad attitude
How d'you think I feel ...

Don't want a number
I got a name
Take a look at my face
Talk about a bad attitude
Things have got to change...

You got yourself a load of trouble now
You got yourself a bad deal
You say I've got a bad attitude
How d'you think I feel ...

Don't want a number
I got a name
Take a look at my face
Talk about a bad attitude
Things have got to change...

Dead or alive

Don't turn off the light
You might draw the Queen of Spades
Don't shut the door
You don't need to be alone
I won't bring you no food
There might be some poison in your meat
I've got to know

Are you dead or alive
Don't shut the door
Are you dead or alive
Dead or alive
Pick your window you're leaving

Don't look in the mirror
With a dollar up your face
You've got money to burn
You're cheap at half the price
Oh don't powder your nose
Don't blow your brains just for the the crack
I've got to know

Are you dead or alive
Just for the crack
Are you dead or alive
Dead or alive
Pick your window you're leaving

You're running so fast
But you know you're standing still
I'm afraid of your shadow
And the knife in it's hand
You're dancing with death
To the tune of the dealer
And he don't care
Don't give a toss
Don't want to know

If you're dead or alive
Don't want to know
If you're dead or alive
Dead or alive
Pick your window you're leaving

Hard lovin' woman

She walked into the room
Her hand upon her hip
Said 'look out boy
I'll make your backbone slip'
She looked straight at me
The devil in her eye
I knew what I was getting but took it by surprise
No fooling, she really knocked the stuffing out of me
Some woman
A hard lovin' woman
She chewed me up and spat me out

Some woman
She's a hard lovin' woman
Some woman
A hard lovin' woman

She didn't wear nothing
But a smile upon her face
Licking her lips but I had the taste
Her temperature was rising
I was coming to the boil
Her fires were burning
She was pouring on the oil
I do not jest, she really took me to the cleaners
Some woman
A hard lovin' woman
It felt just great when she pulled her 38s

Some woman
She's a hard lovin' woman
Some woman
A hard lovin' woman

It started with a smile
It turned into a laugh
It ended with a scream
I said 'enough's enough'
Never heard a word
She wouldn't let go
A man's a man and every woman ought to know
And there I was
And she was dancing
Some woman
Here we go again

Some woman
She's a hard lovin' woman
Some woman
A hard lovin' woman

Call of the wild

Operator, I'm looking for a girl
You've got to help me get through
I don't know much about her
So I'm relying on you
She got rhythm, but no sense of timing
She likes living, but she's got no address
Operator, you've got to get me out of this mess
Let me tell you about her

She ain't got a face
She ain't got a name
She ain't got a leg to stand upon
She's out of touch
But not out of mind
And i've got to see again that gypsy child
Operator, this is the call of the wild

She's a hitch hiker, never gets a ride
But you can bet she's on time
She's always around, but so hard to find
She causes trouble, she never takes offence
Dirty mind, a heart of gold
Operator, don't you put me on hold

She ain't got a face
She ain't got a name
She ain't got a leg to stand upon
She's out of touch
But not out of mind
And i've got to see again that gypsy child
Operator, this is the call of the wild

She ain't got a face
She ain't got a name
She ain't got a leg to stand upon
She's out of touch
But not out of mind
And I've got to see again that gypsy child
Operator, this is the call of the wild
