SEA OF FAITH
(Schenker/Mogg/Fontano) 5:50
Say siaynara darling this time goodbye
No bon voyages, it's time to fly
I can see the breakdown coming
Like a twisted wreck
Let's save ourselves the sorrow
Before we hit the deck
From the high plains to the border
All across the land
From the flying of the flag
To lovers kissing hands
You can cover me in roses put nickles on my eyes
There be no tomorrows, no more goodbyes
Sea of faith where did she go
Little diamonds how you shine and glow
Looking at the future I don't know
I am just here to watch the river flow
A street full of whispers, rings like a chinese gong
A room full of would be's whose lives gone wrong
The blues don't exist now just to cleanse your soul
They were made to wake you up
Not to dig a hole
It's something of a tragedy
It would make you weep
When you kiss your love goodnight
Now I see why lovers leap
SERENADE
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:58
Hey hey put me in your pocket for a day
Let me hold the rhythm of your sway
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
Hey hey, I could see the magic in your eyes,
There's a fire beneath these Spanish skies,
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
Hey hey, let me mix you up a recipe, here's doctor love to give you therapy
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
Out on the beach, blueprint of your soul, with the midnight of the city
A thousand eyes look down from space
Hey hey, put me in your pocket for a day, let me hold the rhythm of your sway
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
SERENITY (DO WHAT!)
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 6:23
He dosses out here in doorways
Caught between wars
Tells us something is coming, won't reveal more
She shuffles up close beside him
And kisses his ear
I guess all our time is running
Running on fear
And it goes around around around again
Like a magic circle till it comes to the end
Baby we're not looking for eternity
So smile now while you're looking for serenity
Out from the marble palaces kings and queens
Will rejoice their importance of being
Their importance of choice
And as they swung Mussolini like a chime in the breeze
The pope blessed his children in a sea of sleaze
And it comes around around around again
Like a magic circle till it comes to the end
Baby we're not looking for eternity
So smile now while you're looking for serenity
And I still flowers in springtime
Dogs howl at the moon
Now the funeral is leaving to the general's own tune
All the rich and the famous
The don't know who I am
The jokers and the jugglers
Even the prince of Siam
SHADOW DANCER
(Schenker/Mogg/Fontano) 4:48
I am back in the circus oh hustling days
I look at the world in a rose coloured haze
Cramp tight bodies jive and girate
Bump and grind to the rhythm of fate
And we spun in the sunlight
Of our long summers day
We kissed the heavens now
It's still a beautiful day
Back on my wall shadow dancer
My hammer headed friends and the puppet girls call
Back on my wall shadow dancer
The dance is coming back, back in my world
Married a model from old Hong Kong
Came to England just a singing my song
This love in a letter sure didn't last
Stamped her passport never saw her arse
And we spun in the sunlight
Of our long summers day
We kissed the heavens now
It's still a beautiful day
Unlucky in life, unlucky in love
No special blessing from above
Fools and horses come to my door
I am the stranger who sleeps on the floor
..And then we all fuck off.
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
STOPPED BY A BULLET (OF LOVE)
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:34
Love and the stranger
So very far from home
A kid was playing Little Wing
I sat drinking on my own
Love and danger
Oh, they walk hand in hand
Said she was an actress
Thought I was in a band
Stopped by a bullet
She's a pinball rolling round my head
She turned on a dime
Left me for dead
I found love for the very first time
Hey Arizona, I can feel your heat
And I never, loved a tattoo
The way that I love you
Hey Arizona, in the coolest, desert wind
Wilies singing whiskey river
I let love walk in
Stopped by a bullet
She's a pinball rolling round my head
She turned on a dime
Left me for dead
I found love for the very first time
Loved for the very first time
I found love for the very first time
Love for the very first time
Hey little Joe
Is that your working name
Are you hiding something
Or is the truth a darker stain
Hey little Joe
I'm not another fan
The chorus line's a pickup
And I'm a one night stand
Stopped by a bullet
She's a pinball rolling round my head
She turned on a dime
Left me for dead
I found love for the very first time
Loved for the very first time
I found love for the very first time
Love for the very first time
SPACE CHILD
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 3:58
Goin' through pages and lookin' down lines and lines
Space of your life is only passing you by
Space child ages as he turns and faces the lie
After laughter was caught in his throat as he died
Fly on homeward
Worlds' spinnin' by brings clouds in your eye tonight
The space of your life is only passing you by
SMELL OF MONEY
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 3:42
One more day, with a tumble fall,
Down the money pit, with nothing to show
Hey hey yeah
Another twist, in the horror tale
It's an open coffin, that needs one more nail
Smell of money
Maybe I'm a victim, (Soft silk and bamboo?)
Maybe it's the smell of money
Attracts me to you..
Hey hey yeah money
Two clean shirts
I'm out on bail
As the barroom baits
They start to wail
The smell of money
Maybe I'm a victim, (Soft silk and bamboo?)
Maybe it's the smell of money,
that brings me to you
Stretched out across the ceiling
?? Domes shimmer and glow
Golden citadels
While the autumn wind billows and flows
Dancing nights, in the lost and found
Move really nice to that money sound
Smell of money, smell of money,
smell of money, smell of money
I need
I bleed

(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
TIME ON MY HANDS
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:09
Long, long year I've sat in this place Baby, baby, what's good I've had
When you don't know where I wanna go, Find a reason love's left me cold
I've got it, time on my hands
Been drinkin' with a sailor boy
Been tryin' hard to understand
Lines here in my hand
Left me hopin' the wild thoughts I had
My lost feelin made me so sad
Tried so hard, the smile on my face
Can't get it back again, back home with you
I've got it, time on my hands
Been drinkin' with a sailor boy
Been tryin' hard to understand
Lines here in my hand
Long, long year I've sat in this place Baby, baby, what's good I've had
When you don't know where I wanna go, Find a reason love's left me cold
I've got it, time on my hands
Been drinkin' with a sailor boy
Been tryin' hard to understand
Lines here in my hand
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
TOO MUCH OF NOTHING
(Music / Lyrics: Pete Way) 3:59
I really tried my hardest just to make you understand
It feels like to a boy, when he don't feel like a man
But you gave me so much money And you would not understand
I realize I hurt you, so I stay just as I am
But the whole world keeps on turnin'
Yeah, the whole world keeps on turnin'
But the whole world keeps on turnin' I just roll along
There's been one too many mornings
And one too many years
Once went by the big ones
who just can't take the pace
We found it out the hard way I hope you understand
That life is just my head
And I had an overdose
But the whole world keeps on turnin'
Yeah, the whole world keeps on turnin'
But the whole world keeps on turnin' I just roll along
I used to try, I used to try
Used to cry, oh I used to cry
TOO YOUNG TO KNOW
(Mogg/Way) 3:09
Well, I'm stuck out in your Street
And I'm lookin' for some kind of halo
When somebody says to me, hey boy
She's too young to know, know
Well, I didn't make your time
I never said you were mine
Don t you think it'll show, so
I guess I'll have to teach you rock n roll
Met you outside school
Made sure no one was lookin'
And your teacher looks at me,all his envy growin'
Well, I didn't make your time
I never said you were mine
Don t you think it'll show, so
I guess I'll have to teach you rock n roll
I said, take it easy baby,you sure know what's showin'
And I can't help myself, Without your friends all knowin'
Well, I didn't make your time
I never said you were mine
Don t you think it'll show, so
I guess I'll have to teach you rock n roll
Well, I didn't make your time
I never said you were mine
Don t you think it'll show, so
I guess I'll have to teach you rock n roll
You got a long, long way to go
TRY ME
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:46
Tell me why were never more than strangers
Tell me why,you never let it show
But when you're close to me
And whisper I need you
In the cold morning light
Try me, oh take me for a little while
Before it's over and you leave me with just a smile
Try me, oh let me be the one
You say it's over
But for me it had just begun
Tell me why we seem no more than strangers
Tell me why, the feelin never goes
But when you're close to me
And whisper I need you
In the cold morning light

UNRAVELED
(Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 4:16
Yes she will be beautiful
And you will be vain
When the honeymoon is over
She will suck out your brain
Give me back my life
Give me back my call
Simply set me free
Stop banging my head on the wall
Put a black hat on me
Take out a voodoo bone
And the scars across my ceiling
They paint a picture to the great unknown
I'm coming unraveled
Spinning out of control
Becoming unstable
It's taking its toll
And the lamps keeps sliding
Across the kitchen floor
And there's something to remember
Is this the life of a cross-cut saw
And I'm coming unraveled
Spinning out of control
I'm becoming unstable
I'm still paying the toll
Great expectations will have a glitch
Searching for power, may kill the bitch
Theater of pain
Love or lust in vain
Unraveled again!
Give me back my life,
Give me back my call
Simply set me free,
stop banging my head on the wall
She will be beautiful,
And you will be vain
When the honeymoon is over,
she will suck out your brain
I'm coming unraveled,
Spinning out of control
I'm becoming unstable,
And I can't, I can't let go
Coming unraveled,
Spinning out of control
Becoming unstable
Nobody, nobody knows
I'm coming unraveled,
Spinning out of control
Becoming unstable,
I can't, I can't let go

VENUS
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 5:18
Tell me now and I'll understand
Does Venus hold you in the palm of her hand
Has her blackness touched your very heart
She'll smile sweetly as your world falls apart
And I just can't quit it babe
I just can't stand the pain
And I just can't quit it babe
I keep running back again
Little by little piece by piece
Your defenses have all slipped away
And real beauty's such an elusive thing
Somewhere down the line you'll have to pay
And I just can't quit it babe
I just can't stand the pain
And I just can't quit it babe
I keep running back again
Oh no, its such a cold, cold feeling
Cuts your body to the bone
Oh no, its a strange, strange feeling
Loves been abandoned and I'm so alone
And everyday I see my flame growing dimmer
I've nothing left but this very life to save
And evry night I feel that I'm a winner
She's taking me down to the grave
And everyday I see my flame growing dimmer
I can't seem to chase the ghosts away
And every night I get too high, I'm a winner
I've nothing left but to pray
And every night she makes me feel like a winner
And every night she makes me think I'm a winner
Venus smiles and encircles me
And wraps me in a soft princely gown
Waves of darkness rise like the sea
In her addiction I will drown
Y
YOU DON'T FOOL ME
(Phill Mogg/Pete Way/Andy Parker) 3:23
If I could see you, would you still give me
Just hold me tighter, and love me maybe
You be my thunder, I don't want savin'
You don't fool me, oh no, you don't fool me
One look at you, it's easy to see
Oh no, you don't fool me
Oh babe, you don't fool me
I play along, just give it to me
Build me up now, you pull me down
You make me come, oh yeah, keep me around
I want to move you, I surely could
You don't fool me, oh no, you don't fool me
One look at you, it's easy to see
Oh no, you don't fool me
Oh babe, you don't fool me
I play along, just give it to me
Just got to have you, you drive me crazy
Tell me you feel it, your honey give me
Here burns the fire, I feel the heat
