Big wheels are rolling
On thru' the night We hit the city in the morning No time to eat or sleep Six concerts in a week Take the show across the nation Could this be San Antone? Or am I stood in Rome? Is the real or am I dreaming? Standing by the backstage door Just like the one before We're here to set the spirit free Give us the stage Turn on the lights Fire up the sound We'll rock the nations Give us the stage Turn on the lights Fire up the sound We'll rock the nations Wait for the curtain call Excitement in the hall The stage crew ready at their stations The houselights start to dim Another show begins Now it's time to rock the nations Stand in the flashing lights The music fills the night The feeling just goes on and on We take the last encore The first of many more The spotlight takes the final bow Give us the stage Turn on the lights Fire up the sound We'll rock the nations Give us the stage Turn on the lights Fire up the sound We'll rock the nations Give us the stage Turn on the lights Fire up the sound We'll rock the nations Give us the stage Turn on the lights Fire up the sound We'll rock the nations Give us the stage Turn on the lights Fire up the sound We'll rock the nations Big wheels are rolling On thru' the night Daylight comes without warning North, south, east and west We'll put you to the test As we rock across your nation Give us the stage Turn on the lights Fire up the sound We'll rock the nations [Repeat to end] 02. Battle Cry
Can you hear the sound
The sound of distant voices Floating gently 'cross the glen Can you see the people The people gathered 'round They're worshipping their king They came to hear the story They came to sing the song There's talk of a rebellion The highlands are aflame From the mountains to the sea A prince has come to Scotland To claim his rightful throne The seeds of war are sown They came to hear the story They came to sing the song Let me hear Let me hear Let me hear your battlecry Let me hear Let me hear Let me hear your battlecry An army marches northwards To meet the fearless clansmen For England and St. George The red coats face the tartan The battle lines are drawn The musket and the sword They came to hear the story They came to sing the song Let me hear Let me hear Let me hear your battlecry Let me hear Let me hear Let me hear your battlecry Many men have fallen The prince has had his day Culloden was the name Their battlecry can still be heard To this very day Floating gently 'cross the glen They came to hear the story They came to sing the song Let me hear Let me hear Let me hear your battlecry [Repeat to end] 03. Waiting For The Night
You got me spinning, spinning around
I don't know if I'm up or I'm down I'm coming back to you tonight My pulse is racing, I'm out of control My body's aching, it's taken it's toll I'm coming back to you tonight This darn freeway's driving me insane I need a shot, a shot to ease the pain I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night I'm waiting...bring on the night My heart is pounding, I need you so much My body's yearning, I long for your touch I'm coming back to you tonight I can't wait a minute longer Every second the feeling get stronger Coming back to you tonight This darn freeway's driving me insane I need a shot, a shot to ease the pain I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night I'm waiting...bring on the night (bring on the night) You got me spinning, spinning around I don't know if I'm up or I'm down I'm coming back to you tonight I can't wait a minute longer Every second the feeling's stronger Coming back to you tonight This darn freeway's driving me insane I need a shot, a shot to ease the pain I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night I'm waiting...bring on the night I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night I'm waiting...bring on the night Bring on the night Bring on the night I'm waiting Bring on the night Bring on the night 'Cause tonight I'm coming back to you I'm waiting Bring on the night [Fade] [Additional lyrics included in liner notes but not in the song....] My mind is drifting, thinking of you The love you're sending is making it through I'm coming back to you tonight The summer sun's still shining bright Can't last forever, bring on the night I'm coming back to you tonight 04. We Came Here To Rock
We didn't come for their sympathy
We didn't come for their soul We didn't come for their bigotry We didn't come for their gold We never said we were perfect We'll lay it on the line They can stick their censorship Where the sun don't shine We came here to rock We came here to rock We came here to rock We came here to rock We didn't come for their apathy We didn't come for their lies We didn't come for their strategy We didn't come for their wives Don't tell us how to run our lives We know what's right and what's wrong They're just a bunch hypocrites We came for one thing alone We came here to rock We came here to rock We came here to rock We came here to rock (came here to rock) We didn't come for bureaucracy We didn't come for their views We don't need their mentality We don't need their abuse We've never worshipped the devil That's just another lie We just wanna have some fun Some fun before we die We came here to rock We came here to rock We came here to rock We came here to rock [Repeat to end] 05. You Ain't No Angel
Who's that girl with her pants on fire?
You can feel the heat when you're standing by her You look so good with your dress real tight Does your mother know you're out tonight? You're just sixteen you're on the loose Your innocence is no excuse Your mother thinks you're sweetness You're Daddy's little girl You may have been made in Heaven But you ain't no angel You ain't no angel You're coming on strong, you're coming on heavy Wanna mess with the boys in the back of the Chevy? Let's take a ride, be my back seat lover You taste so good, you're just like sugar Now hold on baby, make it last Does your Daddy know you're learning fast? Your mother thinks you're sweetness You're Daddy's little girl Were you made in Heaven? 'Cos you ain't no angel You ain't no angel You ain't no angel You ain't no angel Hi boys What are ya doin' ? Going for a ride ? Can I come ? No, my mother won't mind I ain't no angel You ain't no angel [Repeat to end] 06. Running Hot
Catch me if you can and tame the beast
Should I leave you burning in the heat Kick the throttle down, I'm on fire It turns me on the feel the engine's beat Take it to the highway On the open road I want to feel your power Screaming into overload She's running hot She's hot Coming out of nowhere, moving fast I gotta keep the feeling Make it last Let me feel your body I'll explode Together we will run to overload Take it to the highway On the open road I want to feel your power Screaming into overload She's running hot She's hot She's running hot She's hot [Repeat to end] 07. Party 'Til You Puke
Come on everybody
Tonight it's party time Grab a bottle or a crate Leave your blues behind You're gonna need the cavalry To get you outta here The last time that we had one It lasted for a year We're gonna party Party till u puke (These people are sick) We're gonna party Party till u puke Till u puke Don't worry about the neighbours They're blind drunk in the loo There'll be no trouble from the police 'Cos they're all in here too We got the music cranked right up It's blowing off the roof There's people drinking gasoline It must be two hundred proof We're gonna party Party till u puke (Will someone get me outta here?) We're gonna party Party till u puke Till u puke (These people are weird!) 08. Empty Promises
I gave you my love
But you threw it straight back in my face I should have known better You're just perfume and lace You're messing around You're making a fool out of me But I've had enough baby I'm setting you free But I gave you all the chances I gave you all the signs Now who's the lonely one Were you just a waste of time Empty promises I remember the days When it used to be good We were always together We both understand But something went wrong White turned to black So I'm leaving you baby I ain't coming back But I gave you all the chances I gave you all the signs Now who's the lonely one Were you just a waste of time Empty promises But I gave you all the chances I gave you all the signs Now who's the lonely one Were you just a waste of time Empty promises 10. Northern Lady
Lady face the morning sun
The sunlight in your hair Northern Lady, you're the one Why do you mean so much to me I need you every night Northern Lady, you're the one If you need me, I'll be there I'll fly right back to you Northern Lady you're the one Will you use your head tonight And come into my room Northern Lady, you're the one You're the one Lady face the morning sun The sunlight in your hair Northern Lady, you're the one Why do you mean so much to me I need you every night Northern Lady, you're the one Northern Lady, you're the one [Repeat to end] |
