ALL NIGHT LONG


(Ulrich Roth/Klaus Meine) 3:11

Jack it in none of them
He'll get along
Some like the violin, some like the horn
She can't play on and my mind's goin' round
Hot lovin' woman is back in town


Well just to make me feel alright
All night long, oh yeah
But just to make me feel alright
All night long


Jack it in none of them
He'll get along
Some like the violin, some like the horn
She can't play on and my mind's goin' round
Hot lovin' woman is back in town


Oh, yeah
Well just to make me feel alright
All night long, oh yeah
But just to make me feel alright
All night long



PICTURED LIFE


(Klaus Meine/Ulrich Roth/Rudolf Schenker) 3:26

Ooh! Dark meditation,
Your second sight can show my light
In a crystal bowl.
Sweet are the days, intoxication
Crow-black the nights caging my mind
Behind the wall


Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Into the rock to find the cream
Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Pictured life from yesterday


Ooh! Dark meditation,
Deep down inside a stream of light
Begins to flow.
Sweet are the days, intoxication
Crow-black the nights caging my mind
Behind the wall


Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Into the rock to find the cream
Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Pictured life from yesterday


Pictured life, pictured life
Pictured life from yesterday



BACKSTAGE QUEEN


(Klaus Meine/Rudolf Schenker) 3:13

Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna I know
You wanted my love and I gave it to you
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna you know
Goodbye is hello, 'cos I'm on the road


Take it easy, don't get me wrong,
Just keep me in your dreams
Take it easy, life goes on
My little backstage queen


Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna so good
My feeling with you was all very true
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna you know
Goodbye is hello, 'cos I'm on the road


Take it easy, don't get me wrong,
Just keep me in your dreams
Take it easy, life goes on
My little backstage queen


Hey little Donna
Sweet little Donna
Goodbye Donna



POLAR NIGHTS


(Ulrich Roth) 5:09

Down, down..
That's bringing me down
The stars in the sky
Seem to fall to the ground
Time, time..
I'm chasing the time
The stars in the sky
Seem to be turning round
Is that the wind in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Is that the night of your eyes
That is soothing my mind?


Round, round..
My mind's whirling round
The moons in the sky
Seem to burn on the ground
Gone, gone..
My mightmares are gone
The moons in the sky
Seemed to eat up the sun
Is that the wind in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Is that the night in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Back from polar nights


I was down..
I was out..
The nights at the pole've been
So cold without you!
I was down..
I was out..
The pole-star was bringing me
Back home to you.
Is that the wind in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Is that the night in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?



IN TRANCE


(Klaus Meine/Rudolf Schenker) 4:48

I wake up in the morning
and the sun begins to shine
the day did sneak up on the night
I see your face and I see myself
and I get a little taste of life
I try to stand it for a while


But I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey.. Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life


I feel so sad I'm feeling down
On the radio the music plays
I'm in love with her and I feel fine
I close my eyes
I think today is getting better with a sip of wine
and I can stand it for a while


When I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey.. Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life


I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me caling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey.. Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life



WE'LL BURN THE SKY


(Rudolf Schenker/Dannemann) 6:30

I'm in love with the sunshine
I'm in love with the fallin' rain
Everything seems to call your name
Yesterday you were leavin'
Leavin' life and all your pain
Everything wants you back again
Wants you back again
Wants you back again


I found myself through you
And there was love in my life
I felt always naturally high
And my love had a home
But now my mind has started to roam
You're my life giving fire
And you carry all my love
Through you I was so inspired
You're engraved deep in my heart
Heart, heart, heart


My dreams recall us being one
I've searched for you to be free
The force of life you have always been
I feel blue since you're gone
You're breath of life surrounded me
When can I join you to be free
Join you to be free
Join you to be free


Wait, can this be a dream
There is a voice in my head
It belongs to you, it says
Don't cry, no need to be sad
There's a way to stay with you again
It's more than you ever had
And no death brings us apart
Our timeless love always grows
Because you are my other part


I know we've never been apart
Your love sets fire to my heart
We'll burn the sky
When it's time for me to die
We'll burn the sky, oh yeah
We'll burn the sky, oh yeah
When it's time, time, time
We'll burn the sky
We'll burn the sky, oh yeah



SUSPENDER LOVE


(Rudolf Schenker/Klaus Meine) 3:40

Ah, you turn me on
I feel the biggest part of yours
Ah, ah there's something more
So much more baby


Ah, I can't be cool
It's getting stronger every day
Well, yeah, ain't choosin' you
I cut him out baby


Give me the long faced girl on the magazine
Show me the white rolls royce in the rain
Give me the long faced girl on the magazine
Show me the white rolls royce in the rain


I can't get enough
Too hard a body drives me mad
Oh yeah it's like a drum
To stay in love baby


Give me the long faced girl on the magazine
Show me the white rolls royce in the rain
Give me the long faced girl on the magazine
Show me the white rolls royce in the rain


Ah, ah, oh yeah
Ah, ha, ah, ha, ha
Oh baby yeah


Give me the long faced girl on the magazine
Show me the white rolls royce in the rain
Give me the long faced girl on the magazine
Show me the white rolls royce in the rain



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



FLY TO THE RAINBOW


(Ulrich Roth/Michael Schenker) 9:41

Life is empty, can't remember anytime before,
On a plain lit cold December, see it evermore,
Gliding through this life, and another is a child,
and we're doing games, and losing things,
Always playing gigs.
Somewhere in the sky, where the moon the stars shine bright,
Where the sun is shining, in the night.
I am in disgrace, yet i see a smiling face,
and i hope you let me, share your place.
I don't live today.


Rain in the sky , make the world fly,
Into time, beg me your time.
Sun in the sky, make the world fly,
Into time, beg me your time.


Rain in the sky , make the world fly,
Into time, beg me your time.
Sun in the sky, make the world fly,
Into time, beg me your time.


Rain in the sky , make the world fly,
Into time, beg me your time.
Sun in the sky, make the world fly,
Into time, beg me your time.


I lived in magic solitude,
With cloudy looking mountains,
The lake made out of crystal raindrops.
Run through space, 2000 years ago,
I've seen the giant city of Atlantis,
sinking into an eternal wave of darkness.


Somewhere in the blue distance,
Are those long forgotten trees of gold
Broken lives hidden down in the sand
Darkness everywhere, nothing
Symbols, strange symbols on a cold leaf
Painting torrid colours all sky green.
Candle painted white like the moon,
Faraway children bleed, God save them.
Drifting garish ghosts like shadows.
Save break to catch and kill time.
Echoes one round endless meadow.



HE'S A WOMAN - SHE'S A MAN


(Klaus Meine/Rudolf Schenker/Herman Rarebell) 3:18

I saw it walkin' lonely down the street
Cool like a cat, like crazy clean
I looked twice again, I can't believe
Oh no no no
It turned around right then
And looked at me
I said oh no, it really couldn't be
It was a man, it was a woman, too


He's a woman, she's a man
He's a woman, she's a (woman)


I think it really came from far away
I'm feeling head uptight so I have to stay
It takes my hand and says come on, let's go
Let's go, let's go, let's go
We're goin' home, it's nice and warm to say
He starts to move, she starts to play
I need a body, why not you


He's a woman, she's a man
He's a woman, she's a (woman)


He's a woman, she's a man
He's a woman, she's a (woman)



SPEEDY'S COMING


(Klaus Meine/Rudolf Schenker) 3:38

You look at a poster
You look at the wall
The wall in the room where you live
Where you live with your stars
Just listen to his records
Now hear what he says
For he says, "I love you little girl
Come to see me today"


Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart
Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart


You like Alice Cooper
You like Ringo Starr
You like David Bowie
And friends in the Royal Albert Hall
Stick up the pictures, movies, TV
And I'll bring you the show little girl
Come to see me today


Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart
Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart


You like Alice Cooper
You like Ringo Starr
You like David Bowie
And friends in the Royal Albert Hall
Stick up the pictures, movies, TV
And I'll bring you the show little girl
Come to see me today


Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart
Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart
Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart
Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart

(Klaus Meine/Rudolf Schenker) 6:45

You're a rock-n-roll star
You are out of the charts
Your blood is cold you're getting old
But your life is rock-n-roll


That crazy rock-n-roll band
Is spinning in your head (in your head)
Each and every way ya make the thoughts
Is about stars on the chart


Ohhh.. and they are top of the bill


You're a rock-n-roll star
You've been the first one on the chart

Rock-n-roll was your game


Ohhh.. and you were top of the bill



HOUND DOG


(Mike Stoller/Jerry Leiber) 1:23

You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Crying all the time
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Crying all the time


You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine


When they said you was high classed
It was just a lie
When they said you was high classed
It was just a lie


You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

Sitting alone in the doghouse
Thinking of you all the time
Sighing, crying
Sitting alone in the doghouse
Thinking of you all the time

Sitting alone by my window
Counting the stars of the night
Waiting, hating
Sitting alone by my window
Waiting, hating

Sitting and watching the sunrise
Darkness is filling my eyes
Sighing, crying
Sitting and watching the sunrise
Darkness is filling my eyes
Sighing, crying


Dark Lady
