A FOOL IN LOVE


(Miller/Fraser) 2:47

People say I'm a lion at heart But they don't know what I am,
People say that I stand apart But they just don't understand -
Everynight when the darkness calls, I'll be there at your beck and call
I'm a fool for you baby, I'm a fool right now


People say I'm a man of means, But my plans are full of holes
People say I'm a holy child, But I'm rich down to my soul
All I need is you close beside, All I need is to satisfy


I'm a fool for you baby, I'm a fool right now
I'm a fool for you baby, I'm a fool in love


Every mornin' when the sun comes up
And all your dreams, they slip away
I see your face and I understand
You're the only one, only one to make my day


Everybody say you ain't no good, But I won't believe it's true
They all say I ought to find someone, but my heart belongs to you



A SELF MADE MAN


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 6:23

I've worked so hard, like Hyde on the chaos theory
I've found my madness quite complete
No sign of light or love divine intervention
While I was scoring on your street


I am the demon of your darkest thoughts
Wired to self destruct
A greedy, nasty, selfish little man
Who could never have or get too much


But if the very thought makes you shiver
I am just one of the many lost
And I will change the course of the river
And never stop to count the cost


But everythings light on a Sunday
The choir singing all in tune
But such a small congregation
Will someone send up the balloon


Oh I'm a self made man
The fruits of yes you can
Oh I'm a self made man
And I'll take what I can


Out of the darkness and into the light
See the army grow and grow
And like a storm, a reign of terror
This ill wind will blow and blow


But if the very thought makes you shiver
I am just one of the many lost
And I will change the course of the river
And never stop to count the cost


I'll take great pride and pleasure in your misery
And delight in your living hell
There's no known act of human kindnes left
My very mother I would sell


I'm not uncouthed, but educated
Now isn't that a scary thing
And elected to a place of power
Your slavery will be my sting


But if the very thought makes you shiver
I am just one of the many lost
And I will change the course of the river
And never stop to count the cost


But everythings light on a Sunday
The choir singing all in tune
But such a small congregation
Will someone send up the balloon


Oh I'm a self made man
The fruits of yes you can
Oh I'm a self made man
And I'll take what I can


Oh I'm a self made man
The fruits of yes you can
Oh I'm a self made man
And I'll take what I can



AIN'T NO BABY


(Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 4:58

Hey there now, big shot, just listen to me
I know the score and there's no great mystery
I hear you talkin' and it's all been said
But what I'm thinkin' I keep inside my head


I ain't no baby, so get out of my way
Keep bein' with your own kind
it ain't none of your business, you got nothin' to say
Stay away forever


You play the cool star, it's a dangerous game
Don't forget the street and who gave you your name
Romancin' with the company as they pour in the crowds
The next thing is you, then who are the clowns



ALONE AGAIN OR


(Music/Lyrics: Maclean) 2:58

Yeah, said it's alright
I won't forget all the times I've waited patiently
For you
And you do just What you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear


Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know, that I could be in love
With almost anyone
I think that people, are the greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear


Yeah, said it's alright
I won't forget all the times I've waited patiently
For you
And you do just What you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear

BELLADONNA


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:30

Oh Belladonna, never knew the pain
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe it'll drive me insane,
The open letter just carelessly placed ,
And you move in silence, the tea so delicately laced -


Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much
Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much


Came from passion, and you gave it a name
The fingers are poisoned like needles, in the drivin' rain
So smile discreetly as you watch with such grace
Now I must slip away, but can you forget my face



BORN TO LOSE


(Michael Schenker/Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 3:33

Think you've got it down
Does it still feel the same now that he's not around
Born to lose, born to lose
You made your mind up, no foolin' around
Now that I know , I could never be
I would never be the only one


Do you wonder how it all began
As if that mattered anyway
There's someone else you're always wanting
Every single day


Born to lose, born to lose
You made your mind up, no foolin' around
Now that I know , I could never be
I would never be the only one



BUILT FOR COMFORT


(Music / Lyrics: Willie Dixon) 3:02

Some folks built like this
Some folks built like that
Way you move you ain't talkin' back
I'm built for comfort, ain't built for speed
Got everything all you good girl's need
Don't need no diamond don't need no gold
Got a lot of lovin' got a whole lot of soul
I'm built for comfort, ain't built for speed
But I got everything all you good girls need


Some folks built like this
Some folks built like that
Way you move you ain't talkin' back
I'm built for comfort, ain't built for speed
Got everything all you good girl's need
Don't need no diamond don't need no gold
Got a lot of lovin' got a whole lot of soul
I'm built for comfort, ain't built for speed
But I got everything all you good girls need

CAN YOU ROLL HER


(Mogg/Parker/Peyronel) 2:56

Fast as light our kicks were burnin'
On the road a distant silent song
Hands upon my engines growin'
Engine's deep throat breathin' out so strong


I can hold her, can you roll her


Riding like there's no tomorrow
Silent song sure is growin' stronger
Shadow reached a high note
And in the distance electric lights grow longer


I can hold her, can you roll her



CHERRY


(Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 3:34

Gotta give my love for Cherry
As for me there's only you
Play the barrooms just for pennies
Wish I wasn't just passing through
Tell me your secrets
Tell me no one way lyin' now
We are golden, we are golden


And I'm out here on the road
I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the harbors of the night I roll along


On the table top she's dancin'
Sit and smile into your beer
Turn around oh Cherry for me
Let me know you know I'm here


We are golden, we are golden


And I'm out here on the road
I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the harbors of the night
Makin it feel allright


Come on Cherry, let's make it together
Out of the neon and into my life
We can't play this game forever now



COWBOY JOE


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:13

I'm not looking to change your mind,
There's a place, call it home
It's no secret, the world unwinds
Maybe now you're not alone


It's just another day
in the life of Cowboy Joe
Straitlaced to the bone
(This story will not play?)


You take the wheel and play the chance
Suddenly the room's divided
As in the way of true romance
It's always undecided


It's just another day
in the life of cowboy Joe
Shipwrecked to the bay
(This story will not play?)


Every time he climbs back up
Smacked down with a dime
It's evens or odds now
Just ran out of time


Love's a struggle, there's a fight
No bone of contention
So unhappy, well here's the bite
That's the mother of invention


It's just another day
In the life of cowboy Joe
Strange place to play


It's just another day
in the life of cowboy Joe



CROSSING OVER


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:47

I saw the lights, I see the road
I see everything in the highway code
I've been whipped and I've been spun cown
there ain't no religion here
And I'm homeward bound


Wherever you go, wherever you are
I am crossing over to the other side
And now I am looking for an answer, some kind of sign
Looking for a love to be my guide
I am crossing over to the other side


Friendships come and lifetimes go
In their passing to the bigger show
The river runs, the tides will turn
If there's a hell, well I've yet to learn


To dream the dream that's over before it's gone
To hold your lover here while your heart beats so strong
Baby when I love you when everything is gone
When I'm kissing heaven this love is never wrong


I hear the singing, I hear the shout
The talk of meaning for those in doubt
But amid all the wailing and wringing hands
Everybody thinks does anyone understand



CRYSTAL LIGHT


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 3:45

Standin' by the roadside, shoes are in my hands
Coat I'm wearing's blowing cold,Turn my back to the wind
Winter mist along the coast, City lights closed down
The old empty station there
Freight line cuts the ground
Freight line cuts the ground


Crystal light shinin' bright Shine on down for me
Moon is even passin' by, tryin' not to see
Like a fool I hit that road, did my time at sea
Life was only foolin' me


Broken spirt burns my lungs, find it hard to breathe
The hospital shut their gates, I can't get me no peace
We got people stand and scream, stumble in the cold
Close my eyes, turn out the lights
Haven't found a dream, haven't found a dream


Crystal light shinin' bright Shine on down for me
Moon is even passin' by, tryin' not to see
Like a fool I hit that road, did my time at sea
Life was only foolin' me


Crystal light shinin' bright Shine on down for me
Moon is even passin' by, tryin' not to see
Like a fool I hit that road, did my time at sea
Life was only foolin' me

DANCE YOUR LIFE AWAY


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 3:30

Give a dance band competition foxtrotting with my girl
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away
I hear razzle dazzle, the session is the trouble
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away


There I was on the floor and twenty partners left
Dance, dance, dance all night Dance your life away
Feel so tired it must be a week, Nearly on my knees


Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away


California, you always seem to have the sun
But I never really got near to it
And to turn your hand to anything you know
Just to try it



DARKER DAYS


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 5:35

Take me to the highway
Take me to heaven
I can feel Jesus, right in my bones


Looking for a high class up-market doorway
With no connections, no telephones


And I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know


Walking on water
Walking on the mountain
I've got no whiskey running through my veins


They take me to the justice
And I wave old glory
There's no sentence for all these pains
Cause I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know


Darker days surround me now I'm older
Longer nights freeze me it seems colder
Darker days they will take me under now
So help me please


Take me to the river, cleanse me with water
Beacause the good Lord has baptized me
I can't live like you good people
I'll bare my soul for the world to see


I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know


Darker days surround me now I'm older
Longer nights freeze me it seems colder
Darker days they will take me under now


I don't think so
I don't think no so
I keep falling down like little drops of rain
I don't know you
Tell me what's true
What is real, and what it is you call insane


Take me to the highway
Take me to heaven
I can feel Jesus, right in my bones
Looking for a high class up-market doorway
With no connections, no telephones


And I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know


Darker days surround me now I'm older
Longer nights freeze me it seems colder
Darker days they will take me under now
So help me please


Oh yeah
Gotta help me please



DEAD MAN WALKING


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:33

The enemy is at the door
The enemy within.
Dressed up in the strangest clothes,
Smells of drinking Bombay gin.


There's a dead man walking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a dead man walking
Taking it in before his time is gone.


My father was a Russian Jew
My mother Irish crazy.
I see summer, winter, fall.
When grown men cry like babies.


Wish I never had to leave.
Wish I'd never known.
Wish I could stay here forever.
Watch my garden grow.



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



DREAMING OF SUMMER


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 7:01

Woke up on a Manchester morning
No sun up on the sky
Caught the train down to London
So broke I could make you cry


When you get right down to it
There's really nothing in it


I got a copy of the evening paper
If there's a job I will apply
The DHS says it's now or never
This is a case of do or die


When it comes right down to it
I've got to struggle through it


Put the lights way down low
Come closer
Tell me heros don't fade away, they're forever
Just a little bit of something
Just a little bit of real
Tell me heros don't fade away, become a memory
So come on darling now
I still need to know
Are we gonna fade away or stay forever


Tool a walk down to Soho
I've got T.V. on my mind
It says these days you have it easy
Oh Lord, I must be blind
When it comes right down to it
I can see right on through it


I really love my old lady
Much more grief she can't take
Wish I could take her somewhere fancy
I still need that lucky break


When it comes right down to it
There's really nothing in it


Put the lights way down low
Come closer
Tell me heros don't fade away, they're forever
Just a little bit of something
Just a little bit of real
Tell me heros don't fade away, become a memory
So come on darling now
I still need to know
Are we gonna fade away or stay forever


And I'm dreaming of summer
Of just me and you now


But a love with no money
How long will it ring true


One big city smells like another
I get lost in this maze
When I get home should I lie
The bottle's gone I'm in a daze


When it comes right down to it
I've got to struggle through it


Things look bleak out of this window
Sometimes I wanna run away
And the light fades down this tunnel
It merges into another day


Woke up on a Manchester morning
No sun up on the sky
Caught the train down to London
So broke I could make you cry

ELECTRIC PHASE


(Michael Schenker/Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 4:17

On the wires I can hear' you comin'
With a rush and a strummin'
This electric phase ain't no teenage craze
InYour house a Phone is ringin'
Just a hot touch that keeps lingerin'
You said lovin's easy, only if you please
All I need is communication
Not a line on your reputation
I don't want a handshake.
There ain't no big mistake


There's no illusion in this wild confusion
Who knows I'm crazy, no chance of maybe


I'd like to know you better
But I'm goin' down so fast
Help me now to feel it, I just can't conceal it
In time I've got to show you, how it's really got to be
Just let me beYours alone, with your dialin' tone
There's no illusion in this wild confusion
Who knows I'm crazy, no chance of maybe


On the wires I can hear' you comin'
With a rush and a strummin'
This electric phase ain't no teenage craze
InYour house a Phone is ringin'
Just a hot touch that keeps lingerin'
You said lovin's easy, only if you please
All I need is communication
Not a line on your reputation
I don't want a handshake.
There ain't no big mistake

FIGHTING MAN


(Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 4:32

Hearts of darkness
Falling down, it's raining stones
Fate is driving
Now theres no meat on the bone


There's a hurricane a'coming, what a bitter pill
There's a distant drumming, coming over the hill
She took everything, got my jack in her hand
I was born so now I'm just a fighting man
A fighting man


Cold Wild Turkey
Drives a spike right through my brain
Bar room mothers
Waiting for the gravy train


It's a cold wind a blowing, gone out of control
Time is a running, touching my very soul
She took everything, got my jack in her hand
I was born so now I'm a fighting man
A fighting man


Ashes to ashes trash is still trash
It's only a moment now and we're gone in a flash


No silver lining
Where's the man with the master plan
Hearts of darkness
Spreading out all across this land


There's a hurricane a'coming, what a bitter pill
There's a distant drumming, coming over the hill
She took everything, got my jack in her hand
I was born so now I'm just a fighting man
A fighting man



FOOL'S GOLD


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 5:35

Fool's gold, sparkling like the midnight sun
Fool's gold, touch the ivory handles on my gun
(sold out to me?), Charlatans and thieves
(so wrong not to see?), Jokers and the priests?
Fool's gold, stranded on a (point gloss?) Sea
Fool's gold, nothing here and nothing to see
(sold out to me?), The weasels and the feared
(and it's so wrong not to see?), The ghosts of the disappeared
All gone away..


Sometimes, when I'm touched by love, by hate, or by the grace of God
Sometimes, in the dark when hope is fading,
Or no longer flies,
I won't sympathize
Spend my time getting high


Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a Christmas tree
Tired of living on my own, someone came and take me home


Sometimes, this jungle life is boring, pawing,
Ready for a feast, someone kill the beast
Outside, streets are teeming, breathing heavy,
Ready to explode, my brother's heavy load,
What you reap is what you sow


Someone came to rescue me
Lit up like a Christmas tree
Stranded here on my own
Someone came to take me home


Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a Christmas tree
When I'm out here on my own, someone came and took me home


Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a Christmas tree
Stranded here on my own, someone came and took me home

GETTIN' READY


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 3:43

You said that was that but this is it
My will to make the pieces fit
Into a plan to start a new life
Friends at your back, they stab you with a knife
I must be blind
I'm gettin' ready to redefine
I'm gettin' ready to redefine
No disconnections as it feels right
I'm ,gettin' ready to hit the line


Can you feel me
Inside and out, I'm just waiting for you
Love is alright
Now I know just what I want to do
I must be blind
I'm gettin' ready to redefine
I'm gettin' ready to redefine
No disconnections as it feels right
I'm ,gettin' ready to hit the line


When a day breaks, turns you around
And your world upside down
And the visions fade
Rights and wrongs and just where you've gone
I must be blind
I'm gettin' ready to redefine
I'm gettin' ready to redefine
No disconnections as it feels right
I'm ,gettin' ready to hit the line
Pickin' up is such an awful drag
And I could lose my mind
And all the time when I turned around
I never knew if I could really find you


You said that was that but this is it
My will to make the pieces fit
Into a plan to start a new life
Friends at your back, they stab you with a knife
**I must be blind
I'm gettin' ready to redefine
I'm gettin' ready to redefine
No disconnections as it feels right
I'm ,gettin' ready to hit the line
