IN SEARCH OF THE PEACE OF MIND


(Music: Michael Schenker/Rudolf Schenker Lyrics: Klaus Meine/Wolfgang Dziony/Lothar Heimberg) 5:00

When I'm alone
I'm feeling blue
Dreaming a dream
Of a world that's not free and true


Faintly the dream of a true and
Wonderful world
And no one would care
As long as the world will turn


Faintly the dream of a true and
Wonderful world
And no one would care
As long as the world will turn


And I know a place to go
To find my peace of mind
And I know a place to find
My peace of mind


And I try
And I try
And I try
And I try



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



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



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



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



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



ANOTHER PIECE OF MEAT


(Herman Rarebell/Rudolf Schenker) 3:31

Met her down at that Tokyo place
Loved her pretty face
I said: "Hey, you're alright, so alright!"
I was sitting in her car
She told me: "You're a star and I know you"


She said: "Take me home
I need love so strong
Come on and knock me out, oh!
I've been too long alone
I want hot love, you know, and I need it now!"


She said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show
You're just another piece, another piece of meat"
She said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show
You're just another piece -
Another piece of meat"


Next day she took me out
To a rough kick boxing show
Violence really turned her on, oh no
She was screaming for more blood
Loved it more than any drug I couldn't stand it


I said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show
You're just another piece, another piece of meat"
Said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show
You're just another piece -
Another piece of meat"



READY TO ROCK


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Gary Barden) 3:27

You know the sound, you got the feeling,
You know there's no going back
It's all you see, all you believe
You must have that sound
You gotta rock , and get down
Some crazy dreams, make your head spin round
Let's rock and get down
You heard the word ,now it's all over town


Out in the streets, the kids stand and wait their time
Tell me how do you feel, do you wanna rock tonight


Are you ready, are you ready to rock
Tell me you're ready, tell me you're ready to rock!


There's no mistake, no denying
We're just one of a kind, there's no conceit
Seems like we're all black sheep
Abiding our time, you wanna rock and get down
Love that sound, makes our heads, Spin round and round
Let's rock and get down
I said the word, now gather around!


Out in the streets, the lights hit nameless crowd
Black n'silver mystique
Beam on a face with grace, and shout out.


Are you ready are you ready to rock
Tell me you're ready, tell me you're ready to rock!



ASSAULT ATTACK


(Michael Schenker, Graham Bonnet, Chris Glen, Ted McKenna) 4:16

You put me down,That's what I said
I hit the clouds and you kicked me in the head
Ain't that a strange thing for you to do I'll never get it now together we were new
I don't need this, you don't want that
I wonder when you're gonna get upon my back
You'd better keep me just while you may
You'd better stick around or get out the way


Why don't you want me
You cannot know
Why love me
Then go


Just straighten out your head and mind
Forget about the things that make you draw the line
Don't want to take warnings from you
Can't have much more of this What are you tryin' to do


Why don't you want me
You cannot know
Why love me
Then go


Why don't you want me
You cannot know
Why love me
Then go


There's got to be some other way
It's time to work it out
Turn it blue from grey
Your cutting out is cutting in
We have no time to bleed the blood is running thin
I don't need this you don't want that
I wonder where you're gonna get on the track
You'd better keep me just where you may
You'd better stick around until you're on the way


Why don't you want me
You cannot know
Why love me
Then go


Why don't you want me
You cannot know
Why love me
Then go



SAVE YOURSELF


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Robin McAuley) 6:16

Open up your heart I'm comin' through your world today
Release yourself upon my eagerness In every way
So young and innocent, too naive to understand
I'll take you by the hand And lead you to the promised land


Wind that beats across my face Rain that soaks my skin
Excitement that I feel down below And deep within
Each time I look at you My little girl, I know it's true
I just can't help myself Can't stop myself all over you


I'm just a spirit on a mission from above
Sent here to satisfy the lust we're all thinkin' of
Your conscience holds the sins, beg me for forgiveness
The penance you receive Will fill your heart with happiness


Save yourself A night with me is all it takes
To save yourself Your finest hour has just begun


I've never known so much power Since it all began
The Lord him self must have touched me With his very hand
Such loveliness lying here before This troubled man
My little angel spread your wings And fly me upside down


I'm just a spirit on a mission from above
Sent here to satisfy the lust we're all thinkin' of
Your conscience holds the sins, beg me for forgiveness
The penance you receive Will fill your heart with happiness
Save yourself A night with me is all it takes
To save yourself Your finest hour has just begun



PUSHED TO THE LIMIT


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 3:48

Put your feet up maybe let the world pass by
Keep off the street, go away and wait to die
What you don't see is what life means to me
My woman says it ain't right
For a man my age to fight
She don't get it
She ain't in it
I'm pushed to the limit


Two clean shirts, I'm puffing on an old cigar
I still love women, sex and fancy cars
What you don't conceive is just what I believe
My doctor says it ain't right
For a man my age to fight
He don't get it
he ain't in it
I'm pushed to the limit


Is it nice and cozy, sitting there in your evening chair
Is your paper pressed like your string vest
It's enough to make you rip out your hair
Relations sit and wring their hands
How long will I survive
Here's the cherry, there's more spunk left
Kiss my arse, I'm still alive


You keep it nice and quiet boy, but please don't pacify me
I'm just not ready for the shade of an old oak tree
What you don't see is what life means to me
And my dad's an angry man, sometimes like Desparate Dan
And he gets it
And he's in it
He's pushed to the limit


My doctor says it ain't right
For a man my age to fight
He says put out the light
He don't get it
He ain't in it
I'm pushed to the limit



WRITTEN IN THE SAND


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Leif Sundin) 3:29

I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another day
You really pushed it to the limit
I got stuck in yesterday


She's got all I want in the palm of her hand
And our fate is written in the sand
Written in the sand


I don't wanna wait forever
I just need you here today
Guess you found your little heaven
When your soul got swept away


She's got all I want in the palm of her hand
And our fate is written in the sand
Written in the sand


On a distant planet
Somewhere far away
It's too much to handle
When you're miles away
I can't seem to stand it
When it's gone astray
I got stuck in yesterday


She's got all I want in the palm of her hand
And our fate is written in the sand


She's got all I want in the palm of her hand
And our fate is written in the sand
Written in the sand



BACK TO LIFE


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Leif Sundin) 6:12

One more try is wasted
One more lesson learned
Too much fun I've tasted
One more bridge has burned


One more mind is twisted
One more heart is torn
One more lie is whispered
One false truth is born


In my darkest hour
When my trouble has begun


I can't light up the darkness
I cannot kill the pain
Can't turn off the madness
That grows in every man


And all this time we wasted
Love is overdue
Love runs down on empty
Pain will cover you


In the midnight hour
When my love is on the run


But I will try to find it
And it will come to me
I will walk in silence
Until she walks with me


Let's take it to the other side
Our love is coming back to life
Let all the tears put out the fire
It's coming back to life


I can't deny the hunger
Can't forget the pain
Can't be here much longer
I lost my way again
No straight path is granted
It's a long and dirty road
It may leave me empty handed
Or it may lead me home


But when I try to find it
It will come to me
I will walk in silence
And she will walk with me
I will find the answer
She will make me see


Let's take it to the other side
Our love is coming back to life
Let all the tears put out the fire
Our love is coming back to life
Back to life


One more town behind me
In the fading city lights
Your face still in my rearview
Such a pretty sight
You paint another blue sky
With your million dollar smile
You make another sun rise
Past the highway signs


In my darkest hour
When the trouble has begun
In the midnight hour
When my love is on the run


I will try to find it
And it will come to me
I will walk in silence
And she will walk with me


Let's take it to the other side
Our love is coming back to life
Let all the tears put out the fire
Our love is coming back to life
Back to life



LOVE NEVER DIES


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Leif Sundin) 5:45

I've been looking for a reason
I've been looking for a clue
How to help me keep the promise
I once made to you


* When I feel the cold wind blowing
On your endless desert miles
No matter where you're going
Love never dies, never dies


I've been stayin' on the wild side
Ever since you went away
I've been going on a night ride
Looking for a better day


When you feel the four winds blowing
On your endless desert miles
No matter where you're going
Love never dies, never dies


You can try to find a miracle
You can wish upon a star
When you dive into the wishing well
Just open your heart


When I feel the cold wind blowing
On your endless desert miles
No matter where you're going
Love never dies, never dies


I've been walking on the thin line
Between the right and wrong
I've been looking for a street sign
To lead me back where I belong


When you hear the four winds calling
On your endless desert miles
Remember when you're falling
Love never dies


When I feel the cold wind blowing
On your endless desert miles
No matter where you're going
Love never dies, never dies



NIGHTMARE


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Robin McAuley) 6:24

Nightmare lying here in the dark
Scared like my dreams made their mark
I wonder
Dreamer always alone
Lost in a part of myself I can't find anymore
I wonder if it's gonna end tonight


I can't sleep alone anymore
I need you here with me
Even though I closed all the doors
There's somethin' holdin' me


Never Ending Nightmare
Always there instead of you
Never Ending Nightmare
No escape this time from you


Lately been around someone new
Needed to fill in the space
That once sheltered you
Still I worry, if you're gonna be alright


I can't sleep alone anymore
Need someone here with me
All I ever wanted and more
My dreams are fighting for


Never Ending Nightmare
Always there instead of you
Never Ending Nightmare
Punishing me for the things I do
Never ending Nightmare


No escape this time from you



TOO HOT TO HANDLE


(Mogg/Way) 3:36

Caught in the crossfire, warning fight
Let's just make our break game
Swept up by the road in waves of the night
Paper Chase for fame
But 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 feelers 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


La la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again


La la la la, keep on coming
Do it once but never the same


La la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again


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


La la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again


La la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again



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!



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



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?



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!



FEELS LIKE A GOOD THING


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Gary Barden) 3:45

I know what I need, and you've got what I want
Use your imagination'
Got that look in your eye's
So hard to disguise your situation


If it feels like a good thing,it's down to you girl
If it feels like a good thing, you know what to do
There's a hunger in me, I just can't seem to please,
And you've got the connections
Try not to fight, when the feeling is right,
Just move my direction


If it feels like a good thing,it's down to you girl
If it feels like a good thing, you know what to do
I know what I need and you got what I want,
Use your imagination
There's a hunger in me I just can't seem to please
Love starvation.
But if it feels, if it feels like a good thing
Feels allright, feels like a good thing.



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
