Tracks



01. Battlecruiser

He's a target for submarines
Driftin' over the ocean
A royal sea show war machine
Steel without emotions

Pitchin', divin', rollin' battle cruiser
Prayin' upon a ship to let her sink

When the enemy is coming near,
You'll hear the thunder rollin'
Some heavy guns better cover your ears,
Imposing duty is calling

Pitchin', divin', rollin' battle cruiser
Prayin' upon a ship to let her sink

Just hear the peaceful thumping
Increase the speed and jumpin'
The crew is ready for the action
And while the guns are firing
A thousand men are dying
The enemy goes down
The battle cruiser turns around

Attacking bombers on the radar screen
There's no time for hiding
A direct hit in the engine room
Over and done with fighting

Pitchin', divin', rollin' battle cruiser
Prayin' upon a ship to let her sink

02. Moving Down The Line

No job to find, no place to stay
Why am I searching anyway
No future left no bills to pay
It's pain and sorrow every day

No girl to love, no friend to talk
I even got no shoes to walk
No clothes to wear no food to eat
A wealthy widow is what I need

Movin' down the line, it's so hard to survive when you got no dime
Movin' down the line, it's hard to relax when you ain't got time
Movin' down the line, when you got nothing to lose and you feel the blues
Movin' down the line, when nothing is working out fine

No soap to shave, no knife to cut
I must do something, but tell me what
No room to move, no car to drive
Yet I keep movin' to stay alive

Movin' down the line, it's so hard to survive when you got no dime
Movin' down the line, it's hard to relax when you ain't got time
Movin' down the line, when you got nothing to lose and you feel the blues
Movin' down the line, when nothing is working out fine

Movin' down the line
Movin' down the line
Movin' down the line

03. Burning For Your Love

I'll pick the stars out of the sky
I'll do it all for you
I'll swim the ocean, climb a mountain high
I'll do it all for you

Hey baby can you feel the heat
You set my soul on fire
I'm gonna give you everything you need
The flames are getting higher

Oh I'm burning, oh I'm burning up for your love
I'm gonna make you mine 'till the end of time
I'm burning up for your love

I'll make the sun shine on a rainy day
I'll do it all for you
Take all my money and give it away
I'll do it all for you

Hey baby can you feel the heat
You set my soul on fire
I'm gonna give you everything you need
The flames are getting higher

Oh I'm burning, yes I'm burning up for your love
I'm gonna make you mine 'till the end of time
I'm burning up for your love

Higher and higher to the heavens above
Between the moon and the stars, I will show you my love

Oh I'm burning, yes I'm burning up for your love
I'm gonna make you mine 'till the end of time
I'm burning up for your love

Oh I'm burning, yes I'm burning up for your love
I'm gonna make you mine 'till the end of time
I'm burning up for your love

04. Stay With Me

Odd and even are two things my love
Yes and no ain't all there is
Black and white will always be a pair
Saying farewell goes with a kiss

Be my night, be my day, stay with me
Though we're different, we can live in harmony
Be my sun be my moon, stay with me
I just can't do without your energy

Right or wrong is often hard to say
Who's to blame, I just don't know
Yeas, you and I we can change the world
So better think before you go

Be my night, be my day, stay with me
Though we're different, we can live in harmony
Be my sun, stay with me
I just can't do without your energy
Be stone oh oh oh oh

Here you and me, we stay? Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

Be my night, be my day, stay with me
I just can't do without your energy
Be my night, be my day
Stay with me
Be my sun be my moon?

05. She Was Made For Lovin'

I met her in the "Jungle"
In some joint downtown LA
First minute that I saw her
I was hypnotized standing paralyzed

She was made for lovin'
She was made for squeezin'
A hot and never ending game
She was made for lovin'
That chick has made me insane

So I took her down to my place
She made me hotter than the night
My soul was set on fire
Burning up until the morning light

She was made for lovin'
She was made for squeezin'
A hot and never ending game
She was made for lovin'
That chick was driving me insane

When I woke up in the morning
Hammer beats in my brain
The girl was gone with all my money
I still wonder why, how could I ever say

She was made for lovin'
She was made for squeezin'
A hot and never ending game
She was made for lovin'
That chick was driving me insane

She was made for lovin'
She was made for lovin'
Yeah, she was made for lovin'
She was made for lovin'

06. I'm Still Flying

The plane is heavy, the runway short
I gotta make it
Increasing speed, better pull it up
Now easy does it
Those trees ahead, I still can't stop
It's now or never
I must go on if I succeed
I'll live forever

Now I'm above the ocean
I just can't fall asleep
It sure is cold but I'm still flying

I'll get to Paris, at least I hope
I really wonder
What I will find there, it has to be
A bit like London
I'm getting lower I must take care
Don't feel like swimming
One night to go, I dream about
The Paris women

I'm now above the ocean
It's hard to stay awake
It's very cold but I'm still flying

I'm still above the ocean
It's hard to stay awake
It's sure is cold but I'm still flying
Flying, flying, flying, flying?

07. Stand Back For The People In Charge

Police cars on the scene of a crime
Curious people everywhere
Too late they couldn't get there on time
But dead bodies just don't care

Stand back for the people in charge
Do you know what's going on
Stand back for the people in charge
But the killer is already gone

The move the body away after takin' the pictures
Looking for evidence big or small
It's daily routine in a big city jungle
Who'll be the next to fall

A young cops first day has started
Just trying not to faint
The dead man's face he'll always remember
But soon he'll be trained

Stand back for the people in charge
Hey do you have an alibi
Stand back for the people in charge
You better tell them no lies

The move the body away after takin' the pictures
Looking for evidence big or small
It's daily routine in a big city jungle
Who'll be the next to fall

Stand back for the people in charge
Do you know what's going on
Stand back for the people in charge

Stand back for the people in charge
Hey do you have an alibi
Stand back for the people in charge

Stand back for the people in charge
Do you know what's going on

08. You Took My Money, You Took My Pride

Take your time 'cause I want it to last
I like to see you leaving
I've had enough now it's all past
My anger's only increasing

Aah you too my money, you took my pride
Aah I think you're crazy, out of your mind

It's a crime to keep you around
You only gave me sorrows
So when you go, you can sleep with the dogs
Don't think I'll miss you tomorrow

Aah you too my money, you took my pride
Aah I think you're crazy, out of your mind

I used to love you all day and all of the night
How could I know your intention was to wreck my pride
I used to love you all day and all of the night
It's all over now you find yourself a place to hide

Baby baby baby baby baby
You better let me go
Oh yeah

You took my things and I wonder why
I let you do it
I've had enough, you better leave me girl
Oh why did you blow it

Aah you too my money, you took my pride
Aah I think you're crazy, out of your mind

Aah you too my money, you took my pride
Aah I think you're crazy, out of your mind

09. No Way Back

Oh yeah

He's half a boy and half a man
A machine gun in his hands
They told him to be a hero
He's a killer on command
But in the middle of the action
He's got to face the truth
It's me or him, there's no way out
There's nothing he can do

There's no
There's no way back
Oh no oh no

There's no
There's no way back
Oh no oh no

Well she is just a woman
She only comes alive at night
She's got to get some money
The dope keeps her alive
For a while she is in heaven
But she goes straight back to hell
When she gets cold turkey in a police cell

There's no
There's no way back
Oh no way

There's no
There's no way back
Oh no way, no way

Show me the way back, Baby

He is just an old man
Dreamin' about the past
When he's lookin' back he realizes
That his life won't ever last
Dreaming about the good and bad
About the things he could have done
But he will never get the chance to do it all over again

There's no
There's no way back
No

There's no
There's no way back
No way

Yeah

You've got to know
There's no
There's no way back
No

There's no
There's no way back
Ah no way back, no

There's no
There's no way back
Ah no way back, no no no
