MSG - ONE NIGHT AT BUDOKAN





ARMED AND READY


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Gary Barden) 4:06

Are you high tonight, are you feeling right,
Cos I need you now, like I never did before,
Is it hard enough, is It loud enough
Cos if you don't approve,you can use the door
Armed and ready,I gotta gunsight trained on you


I'm in overdrive,and I feel alive,
Got everything I need, and that ain't all,
Got a thing to do, I wanna do for you,
I wanna see you jump like hell when I call
Armed and ready, I gotta spotlight trained on you
Armed and ready, don't let me down tonight


Are you high tonight, are you feeling right,
Cos I need you now, like I never did before,
Is it hard enough, is It loud enough
Cos if you don't approve,you can use the door


Armed and ready,I got my gunsight trained on you
Armed and ready,don't let me down tonight


Are you high tonight, are you feelin right,
is it hard enough, is it loud enough,
Are you high!



CRY FOR THE NATIONS


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Gary Barden) 5:08

A time of fear, so long ago,
Lived a man in Salon,
In his dark and magic room,
He gazed on times to come,
All is then revealed, and visions on water speak true!
Cry for the nations, cry for the nations.


A flash of light, fills the night,
And chills the blood in his veins,
Will the power possess his mind, soul in chains
All is then revealed, and tears that he shed were for you
Cry for the nations, cry for the nations.
Battles of kings, and of fools,
And changes in ways he once knew,
As pages of days fade away
He's lost in time


Cry for the nations
Cry for the nations


Cry for the nations
Cry for the nations


Cry, cry, cry, cry


Cry, cry, cry, cry


Cry for the nations
Cry for the nations



ATTACK OF THE MAD AXEMAN


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Gary Barden) 4:18


Sneaking round the back streets
Don't stay out to late
cause he's got something he want's to give to you
He calls in his dreams, with his phantom screams
Hide from the shadows in the night
Only day will save you,


Gotta watch the attack of the mad axeman
He can take you anytime he pleases
He wants to make you bleed,


Around town his laughter sounds
Deep into the night, that flash of knife in the
Flickering lights for you
He knows when he's down
But he's got to have more
Cause he thrives on excess celebration!


Time after time, in the wings, you can see him
He's only looking for fun, in his dreams; Ah..
Watch the attack of the mad axeman!



BUT I WANT MORE


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Gary Barden) 7:00

I ve seen a lot of changes in my life ,I ve seen at what harm can be done
I know I must fight out for my life,Confuse me rights that are wrong
I've seen a lot of changes come my way And you'll have to answer for some
When voices of innocents cry out
Seeking the justice to come
Lies that's all I ever get from you
No matter how I try, by crying out their rights to you
Don't give them lies and empty promises


Hate, that's all I want to give to you
Cold blooded hate, no I don't want to die for you
Don't give them lies and empty promises, no more lies


I'm thinking that someday, thinking of the times
We used to have before, I know in a small way
I'm giving all I got, but just that little bit more
I've gone in the fast lane, I'm going down I'm going down, I gotta have more
I can't stand and stargaze, oh, cause I want more


Sometime in my life, a day will come
And I know that you won't understand
You re running in blind confusion
Losing your voice of command


I know in that life, my time will come
You might feel ashamed, gone out are all the reasons
When I know you don't give a damn


Lies, that's all I ever get from you
So hard they try by spilling out their lives for you
Don't give them lies ,and empty promises, no more lies


Seems like seventh heaven, but I'm going down
I'm going down I cant take anymore,
Can somebody free me
I've givin'all I got, but they want to take more
I'm trapped in the fast lane, I'm going down
I'm going down, I gotta give more
I can't stand and stargaze, oh, cause I want more



VICTIM OF ILLUSION


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Gary Barden) 4:40

I can't put out the fire,been blinded by the flame,
I have to run for cover, can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain
The screams are loud but then he can't hear
Nightmare shows his face, then disappears
Ooh victim of illusion, ooh victim of illusion


Gone is the free expression, but look into my eyes,
The silent world is laughing, the mirror never lies,
The mirror never lies!


The screams are loud but then he can't hear
Nightmare shows his face, then disappears
Ooh victim of illusion, ooh victim of illusion
Down, down, you gotta find a way, cos if you
Don't believe in what you're seeing now
There's nothing more to say!


I can't put out the fire, been blinded by the flame
I have to run for cover, can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain


The screams are loud but then he can't hear
Nightmare shows his face, then disappears,
Ooh victim of illusion, ooh victim of illusion



ON AND ON


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Gary Barden) 4:43


A kiss of the wind, then the spirits let fly
To the coldness of sun
I got no place to hide, nowhere to run!


When the wind gets high and the mountains sigh
I've got to get back home the wind don't wait for
No one, no one at all
Moves on and on etc.
Look behind the window winter's come?


Blood on the streets, when the black skies shout
And then people cry no more
Dreams just fade away, realities soar
The only crime is his fate
Can't think, can't relate
Illusions seized His mind
The key to all the answers are locked in his eyes!


Moves on and on,etc
Look behind the Window, Winter's coming?



NEVER TRUST A STRANGER


(Music/Lyrics: Paul Raymond) 4:26

Sometimes 'the conversations , get me down
Oh and sometimes you talk until my head spins round
You paid the price for Your sanity
Now baby look at you, so much for your honesty.


There was a time and place not long ago
I was the property that you bought and sold
Just like the kid in the candy store
I gave you everything but Still You asked for more


Remember, just remember, remember
Mama told you never trust a stranger
Cause now you're old enough to look
You want to see, what you can see
Don't look back until you're out of danger
Cause there's always someone wants some sympathy, oh yea
Yes there's always someone wants some sympathy


What do I say, it's all been said and done
Here I go again that drifter on the run
I don't know all the clever lines (is is true?) Did I lose this time?


Remember, just remember, remember
Mama told you never trust a stranger
Cause now you're old enough to look
You want to see, what you can see
Don't look back until you're out of danger
Cause there's always someone wants some sympathy, oh yea
Yes there's always someone wants some sympathy



LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE!


(Michael Schenker/Gary Barden/Chris Glen/Paul Raymond/Cozy Powell) 5:22

There's Something wrong, but I can't be sure
I Gotta know cause I'm feeling good
You've got me girl so I just can't move
If I don't head for ground. then I'm bound to lose!


Don't go giving me all your reasons
I can see them but they'll hurt me I know
Cause if the time should come, that you'll be leaving
Will I have the strength to let you go
I'll play the clown, when I'm insecure
I close my eyes if I'm not too sure
But things you do make me wanna shout
Let's give it time, and work it out


Everytime you think you've got it made, you stand
Last, don't you think that I can't stand this pain
Forever again well oh no ..


I've crossed the line, so I just cant lose it
I'm tied and bound and I can't abuse it
And all the things we've been fighting for
We'll break it loose, I can take some more


Don t go giving me all your reasons
I can see them, but they'll hurt me I know
Cause if the time should come that you'll be leaving
Will I have the strength to let you go!


Please stop bringing me all your reasons
False pretenses only make me feel sad ,
Cause if the time should come that you'll be leaving
Only hope that I will understand!



LOST HORIZONS


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Gary Barden) 7:07

I've stood in time, wind and rain
I have no feelings or name,
But I can see, I can hear,
The voice of death is shouting in my ear!


Making war, making love
You know what I'm thinking of
How many times the traps are set,
You can't remember, and I can't forget!


Can you see me now, can you feel the pain,
Can you heal the scars on me
Life within my heart, hope within my soul, is dying!


Bid farewell, the works of men
When cries of anger sound again
My tears of shame, cut like a knife,
How can I justify this life!


Can you see me now, can you feel the pain,
Can you heal the scars on me
Life within my heart, hope within my soul, is dying!


My mind is searching for reasons why
A time to live or die
If we had now what we had then
Lost horizons might return again..


Can you see me now, can you feel the pain,
Can you heal the scars on me
Life within my heart, hope within my soul, is dying!
Lost horizons..



DOCTOR DOCTOR


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phil Mogg) 5:56

Doctor doctor, please Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
She walked up to me and really stole my heart
And then she started to take my body apart


Livin', lovin', I'm on the run Far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run So far away from you


Doctor doctor, please, Oh, I m goin' fast
Doctor doctor, please, oh, I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment, she's turnin' paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy


Livin', lovin', I'm on the run Far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run So far away from you


Doctor doctor, please, Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please, oh, the mess I'm in
But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength, and I can't take any more


Livin', lovin', I'm on the run Far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run So far away from you


Livin', lovin', I'm on the run Far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run So far away from you
