NATURAL THING
(Schenker/Mogg/Way) 4:00
Said she came from Memphis
You can look but please don't touch
Didn't like rock and rollers
Seemed a bit much too much
Cause it's the natural thing ,feelin' the star
The Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, got up a star
Then she'll never let you go
Hey girl, now does it feel allright Think I'm gettin' through
Don't you think the band's real tight Wait till we start to move --
May sound funny but you gave it to me, I didn't even like it
May sound funny but you gave it to me ,And now I got to live without it
I been down to Atlanta, Got to move my feet
Gettin' down before the last call
With every star she meets
OUT IN THE STREET
(Mogg / Way) 5:15
Lady loved to hang on
Lady liked a real intellectual
Sweet sister, you're still shaking
And your tragedy is never ending
Silver shoes you're wearing
Every window that you've ever stared in
Over my head, over my head
Sidewalks of the city
And every theater there you've ever played
Your comic book impersonations
Your wish for cinder embers to keep
Over my head, so it's all
Out in the streets for just one more matinee
Yes, your vaudeville carries on
So put a smile in front your man can see
Yes, your Vaudeville carries on
ONLY YOU CAN ROCK ME
(Michael Schenker/Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 4:08
Who's takin' time out
We'll take your shout out
We're the boys, we got nothin' to lose
I've had enough now of school stuff now
You ain't with us then it's just bad news
Only you can rock me, rock me
Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kickin' off just like a hurricane
We can't wait from day to day
Cause we've got somethin' to say
We can't wait from day to day
Cause we've got somethin' to say
Come out on the street now
On every corner
Breakin' out and we're doin' what we wanna
Just like a jewel shines in the night
She burns so hot out under the street light
Only you can rock me, rock me
Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kickin' off just like a hurricane
We are here and there's no end We'll keep on comin' again
We are here and there's no end We'll just keep comin' again
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
MOTHER MARY
(Schenker/Mogg/Way/Parker) 3:47
Try and make some changes really on the line
Given your religion, never ever time
All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor
Don't misunderstand it, baby needs some more
Lovin' up to ransom, weapon and a gun
Just your education, hard to understand
Will the teenage legend make a mark on you
Make a big time status, then we run them through
Mother Mary, could you ever really feel the same
And would you try to understand a wild colonial boy
THIS KIDS
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg - Michael Schenker) 6:16
Kid's gettin' tired of hangin' around
So cocksure, thinkin' aloud
Can't get it in when you can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
You can't stop a train with just a smile
Stop bein' the star only for a while
Hole in my pocket and a hole in my arm
All that's left when life's lost it's charm
This could be for us just any other day
So come on girl, we really got to get away
It's the only chance you'll ever have to take
Stayin' in this city will drive you insane
Kid's gettin' tired of hangin' around
So cocksure, thinkin' aloud
Can't get it in when you can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
Can't win or lose
when there's little left to choose
Now till next year it'll always be the same
These black back streets
and people who don't know your name
Go with the wind if it'll only carry us away
LOVE TO LOVE
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 7:38
Oh, it's been too many times
And I can't go back
Night bars, -guitars, rundown motels like shacks
What it amounts up to I don't want it at all
I lost you and I want you today
Misty green and blue
Oh, to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Oh, to love to love you
Oh, to be something
To be near you
Don't say that you'll never know
Oh, 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
I lost you and I want you today
Misty green and blue
Oh, to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Oh, 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
LIGHTS OUT
(Schenker/Mogg/Way/Parker) 4:31
Wind blows back, and the frightened 'Titan
Whines 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 London
Hold on tight til the end
Better now you know you'll never
Wait til tomorrow
Lights out, lights Out London
Hold on 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
Frightnin' thoughts we've once been taught
And now it shows
Lights out, lights out London
Hold on tight til the end
Better now you know you'll never
Wait til tomorrow
Lights out, lights Out London
Hold on tight til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run
Lights out, lights out London
Hold on tight til the end
Better now you know you'll never
Wait til tomorrow
Lights out, lights Out London
Hold on tight til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run
You keep callin', there's no endin'
Tried a thousand times
Under your feet the grass is growing
Time we say goodbye
Lights out, lights out London
Hold on tight til the end
Better now you know you'll never
Wait til tomorrow
Lights out, lights Out London
Hold on 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
ROCK BOTTOM
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 6:28
Seventeen the nature's queen, know what I mean
Twenty one, the lone one,
you can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful, lyin' there asleep
With the wings of god above you
Before the spirits meet
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Shadow earth is closin in above the
Lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin' down for you to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by the hands on your clock
Heaven don't just know where when, you can knock
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
With all darkness closing in
Will the light reveal your soul?
Just one sweet kiss on your clay cold lip's
I know sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go
Where do we go from here?
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
I'M A LOSER
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 3:54
Last train's eleven, it's now quarter past,
Why're you trying to make the evenin' move so fast
I'm not in real trouble but I can't go back home
They locked the doors and I'm left out alone
You can come to my place and sleep on the couch
Lots of people do it and we won't leave you out
Hard times out on the street
Hard times, hard to beat
The painted lies they all hand you
I'm a loser on the road
I'm a loser on the road, yeah
Houston station and it's cold as ice
All night specials, they move you on
But me and Ginger over there
We got this thing where we really take care
LET IT ROLL
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 3:54
Cold wide sweet highway was the place where we'd all go
Went out like a razor sharp and we'd all let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll, let it go
Let it roll
She'd skid up, and we really let it down
Layin' it out, let it roll
When these wheels get rollin'
Let 'em roll right over you
The time will be sound
and I'll always put it through
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll
She'd skid up, and we really let it down
Layin' it out, let it roll
Cold wide sweet highway was the place where we'd all go
Went out like a razor sharp and we'd all let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll, let it go
Let it roll
She'd skid up, and we really let it down
Layin' it out, let it roll
SHOOT, SHOOT
(Schenker/Mogg/Way/Parker) 3:35
Was a fast tough woman, loved to play the clown
You won't do nothin' about it, Break a good boy's resistance down
You know she's got a pistol, Laid it down for real
She said, shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
Convinced me that she was worth it
Never knew I was her kill
And two 45's would do the trick and pay the bills
You know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said, shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here, Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here now
Holing out in my hotel room, police they finally come
And here is the prosecution,and my print's upon the gun
You know she's got a pistol, Laid it down for real
She said, shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here, Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here now
