01. Let It Go

Cool woman, cool eyes, you got me hypnotized
So head down, get a rhythm
Stop your stalling and your bitching
I'm rock steady, I'm still shaking
I'm ready for the taking
So make your move, yeah, make me
And get ready for the big "C"

Let it rock, yeah
Let it roll, let it
Let it go, let it go
You gotta let it rock, come on
Let it roll, yeah just let it go

Slow down, hold on
You're too fast, you're too strong
Take it easy, take it slow
Make it last, don't let go
We're one body, it's one way
You're not leaving, c'mon stay
So get down on your knees
And let me know you're eager to please

Let it rock, yeah
Let it roll, let it
Let it go, let it go
You gotta let it rock, come on
Let it roll, yeah just let it go

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

Cool woman, cool eyes
You got me hypnotized
Slow down, hold on
You're too fast, too strong
I need a woman, a woman to love
One good woman
And you got what I want, what I want

Slow down, hold on
You're much too fast, you're much too strong
Take it slow, make it last
Take it easy, not too fast
Don't let go

No, I'm rock steady, but still shaking
And I'm ready for the taking
So make your move, yeah make me
And get a-ready for the big "C", yeah

Let it rock, let it
Let it roll, let it
Let it go, let it
Let it, let it rock
Let it, let it roll
Let it, let it go
Let it go

Let it rock, yeah
Let it roll, let it
Let it go, let it go
You gotta let it rock, come on
Let it roll, yeah
Let it go

02. Another Hit And Run

Union Jack is back with a hole in his head
He's gettin' badly burned every time
He's laughin' at me and dancin' on my sneakers
And his sixties songs are blowin' up my speakers

I say you got no respect
Respect for authority
You're just playing your dirty tricks
And then come cryin' to me

Hit and run, hit and run
It's just a hit and run
Another hit and run

The bulldog lost his bite and his breath has gone bad
And the whole damn world is really laughin' mad

[Repeat Bridge]

[Repeat Chorus]

Hit it!!
Oh bring it down
Oh you bring it down

I say you ain't got no respect
I say you ain't got no respect
No you ain't got no respect
And you hit me when I'm down

Hit and run, hit and run
It's just another hit and run
I said it's just another hit and run

Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
It's just another hit and run
Hit and run

03. High 'n' Dry (Saturday Night)

Saturday, I feel right
I been drinking all day
Yes I got a date, a midnight ride
I had to get it away
Yeah, I'm not a loner, I'm not a fool
Don't need a reason, reason to be cool
I got my whiskey, I got my wine
I got my woman, and this time the lights are going out

Saturday night - High
Saturday night - High 'n' dry
Saturday night - I'm high
Saturday night - High 'n' dry

Ow, I feel bad, I feel mean
I'm up and down and in between
On the bottle, I'm on the line
I'm up and feeling fine

Oh I'm not a loner, I'm not a fool
Don't need a reason, reason to be cool
I got my whiskey, I got my wine
I got my woman, and this time the lights are going out

[Repeat Chorus]

Oh take me high
Saturday, kickin' out, her train was comin' to me
I gotta move, number one
Saturday night on the run

Saturday night - High
Saturday night - High 'n' dry
Saturday night - Got my whiskey
Saturday night - Got my wine
Saturday night - Got my woman
Saturday night - High 'n' dry
You gotta try me tonight

04. Bringin' On The Heartbreak

Gypsy, sittin' lookin' pretty
The broken rose with laughin' eyes
You're a mystery, always runnin' wild
Like a child without a home
You're always searching, searching for a feeling
That it's easy come and easy go

Oh I'm sorry but it's true
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Takin' all the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?

You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see?

Oh whoah
You're such a secret, misty eyed and shady
Lady how you hold the key
Oh you're like a candle, your flame slowly fadin'
Burnin' out and burnin' me

Can't you see?
Just try and say to you

You're bringin' on the heartache
Takin' all the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?

You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache

Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?

You're bringin' on the heartbreak

05. Switch 625

Oh oh oh whoah

Oh oh oh whoah

06. You Got Me Runnin'

Hang on
Yeah
Ha ha ha ha ha
I don't care too much
For your backstabbin' and side steppin'
You're all sweet talk, you're all lust
You're the kind, yeah, I don't trust
I gotta get out, step aside
Before you damage my pride

Let me through don't spoil my view
I gotta get away, away from you
Oh no no never thought I'd feel so low

You got me runnin'
You got me runnin'
I ain't gonna hide

And yesterday everything seemed okay
Yeah you better run and hide away
Oh you better hide

You're out, out on the street
But I'm back on my feet
I might lose it, so get wise
Stop your usin' and your lies
Oh my friend don't stick around
Your time is up, the chips are down

[Repeat Bridge]

[Repeat Chorus]

And yesterday everything seemed okay
Yeah you better run and hide away
Oh you better hide
You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'
You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'
You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'
You got me runnin', runnin', runnin'

C'mon
Whoah
Oh oh oh
Oh yeah
Runnin' and runnin'
Runnin'
Oh
Watch me run
Runnin', runnin', runnin'

Oh no no never thought I'd feel so low
You got me runnin'
You got me runnin'
I ain't gonna hide

And yesterday everything seemed okay
Yeah you better run and hide away
Oh you better hide

You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'
You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'
You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'

You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'

07. Lady Strange

Ow
Ooh yeah
Oh
I never needed love before
Till I met you girl
A girl like you I have never seen
You came into my life like a whirlwind girl
You let me know what lovin' really means

Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you
Lady strange, oh lady strange I need you

You got me where you want me girl
So no messin' around
You know I never played that hard to please
I've been here many times before
And walked this sacred ground
But this time you got me on my knees
You got me

Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you
Lady strange, oh lady strange I need you
Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you
Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you
I need you

Oh you're so strange
Oh oh oh
Taking love from you's like taking candy from a baby
But lady strange there is no stranger lady
No
Just you and me we make love, good love
So let me know what lovin' really means
Woman please

[Repeat Chorus]

I need you
I want you
Yeah

08. On Through The Night

The wait is done, the battle's won
So count the cost before you run
'Cos on and on your time was power
The clock on the wall ticks away the hours
Come on down, you're flyin' high
You'll never win if you never try
Stop the hate and carry the load
Come on, get this show on the road

On through the night
You can't stop me now
On through the night
You won't stop me anyhow

The stakes are high and gettin' higher
I'm flat on my face and you call me liar
I'm watching you, you're watching me
You're watching every move that I can see
My reputation's still at stake
I play it safe for safety's sake
Your ego and your promises
Are gonna fade again and again

[Repeat Chorus]

Not anyhow
All you want to hear
Is the audience applause
You can't get on stage
For a country clause
And the road ahead seems a little rough
If you want to know my feelings
I say that's tough, that's tough
Your wheels ain't turnin', you're out of gas
You pay by check but they take cash
Two roads ahead but which to take
And you can't see it's your mistake

They're waitin' for you
They're waitin' for me
And what seems like eternity
It's all tradition, it'll get you yet
In rock'n'roll there's no safety net

[Repeat Chorus]

On through the night
Goin' on and on, on and on
On through the night
You can't stop me anyhow
Oh no no anyhow

09. Mirror, Mirror (Look Into My Eyes)

Mirror mirror
Just watchin' with your eye of glass
You're just a fortune wheel
With something that I wanna ask

Mirror mirror
Got my fate lyin' in your hands
You're the fool, you're the juggler
Hangman and lover, you're not like no other

Take a look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
Take a look into my eyes
Tell me is it true?
Take a look into my eyes
Oh when I look at you
Take a look into my eyes
Tell me is it me?
Is it really me?

Mirror mirror
Gotta know just what you see
My crystal ball
You're lookin' so sly and so sleazy

Mirror mirror
Hangin' there with that crack in your eye
You make me stumble, make me blind
Time after time and line by line

[Repeat Chorus]

Mirror mirror
Oh tell me
You're the fool, you're the juggler
I ain't met a lover, you're like no other

Take a look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
Take a look into my eyes
Tell me is it true?
Take a look into my eyes
Oh it just can't last
Take a look into my eyes
Gonna have to smash the glass

Take a look into my eyes
Take a look into my eyes
Take a look
Take a look into my eyes
Oh yeah
Take a look into my eyes
Take a look into my eyes
Take a look into my eyes
Take a look into my eyes
Take a look
Take a look into my eyes
Look into my eyes
Take a look into my eyes
Tell me if it's me
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby

10. No No No

Oh yeah
She was a foxy rocker, a roxy roller
An unchained sex machine
Yeah
Slippin' slidin', electric glidin'
And boy she was mean, I said mean
High class dealer, sippin' her tequila
Comin' on pretty strong
Real love stealer, rebel rousin' squealer
She said go but I said no

I kept saying no, no no no no no
I kept saying no, no no no no no

Waiting at the back door
Couldn't take it anymore
Didn't know where she'd been
She looked pretty neat, turnin' on the heat
And only seventeen, seventeen
Windin' her up, bringin' her down
She wanted it just the same
Said stick around, that's when I found
I only had myself to blame

I kept saying no, no no no no no
I kept saying no, no no no no no

High class dealer, sippin' on tequila
Comin' on really strong
Rhythm stealer, rattle off squealer
She said go but I said no

Well I kept saying no, no no no no no
Well I kept saying no, no no no no no
Well I kept saying no, no no no no no

I say no no no
I say no no no
I say no no
No no no no no no no
No no no no no no no

11. Bringin' On The Heartbreak (Remix)

Gypsy, sittin' lookin' pretty
A broken rose with laughin' eyes
You're a mystery, always runnin' wild
Like a child without a home
You're always searching, searching for a feeling
But it's easy come and easy go

Oh I'm sorry but it's true
You're bringin' on the heartache
Takin' all the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?

You're bringin' on the heartbreaks
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartaches
Can't you see?

Oh whoah
You're such a secret, misty eyed and shady
Lady how you hold the key
Oh you're like a candle, your flame slowly fadin'
Burnin' out and burnin' me

Can't you see?
Just trying to say to you

You're bringin' on the heartache
Takin' all the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?

You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache

Can't you see?
Can't you see?
No no no
You got the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?

You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak

12. Me & My Wine (Remix)

Oh yeah
C'mon
Oh yeah
Oh
Well I'm down in the alley of sally
And I'm feeling my way
And it's four in the morning
I don't have a lot I can say

I know I'm looking for some satisfaction
But there ain't much news
Got some walking from a back reaction
I'm hanging down and loose

Oh me and the boys have been drinking
Feeling like this is the wrong time for thinking
All I can say is
I'm doing fine with just me and my wine

Now my brain and my body are runnin' on different rails
And I died and just say hi what if all else fails
Oh I woke up in a subway station
Lying half dead on the floor
I don't remember anything that happened the night before

[Repeat Chorus]

Now listen
My hair's a real mess
I feel and look like a joke
And there's a hole in my jeans
I just went right of smokes
You know I'd like to get to know you
But I ain't got the time
I'm tryin' harder and harder
To make this damn thing right
Just me and my wine

Well just me and my wine
You know that I'm doing fine
Well just me and my wine
Ow
Thank you
