Rock On



Hey kid, rock and roll

Rock on

Ooh my soul

Hey kid, boogie too, did ya

Hey shout, summertime blues

Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes

Hey kid, rock and roll

Rock on

Which is the way that's clear


Still looking for that blue jean

Baby queen

Prettiest girl I ever seen

See her shake on the movie screen

Jimmy Dean

Hanging On The Telephone


I'm in the phone booth it's the one across the hall

If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall

I know you're there so I just had to call

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone


I heard your mother now she's walking out the door

Did she go to work or just go to the store

All those things she said I told you to ignore

Whoah why can't we talk again

Whoah why can't we talk again

Whoah why can't we talk again

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone


It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long

If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong

I want to tell you something you've known all along

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone


I had to interrupt and stop this conversation

Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation

I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection

Whoah I can't control myself

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

Oh hang up and run to me


Waterloo Sunset



Dirty old river, must you keep rolling

Flowin' into the night

People so busy, making me dizzy

Taxi light shines so bright

But I don't need no friends

As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset

I am in paradise


Every day I look at the world from my window

But chilly, chilly is the evening time

Waterloo sunset's fine

Waterloo sunset's fine


Terry meets Julie at Waterloo Station

Every Friday night

But I am so lazy, I don't like to wander

I stay at home at night

But I don't feel afraid

As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset

I am in paradise


Every day I look at the world from my window

But chilly, chilly is the evening time

Waterloo sunset's fine

Waterloo sunset's fine


Millions of people swarming like flies

'Round Waterloo underground

But Terry and Julie cross over the river

Where they feel safe and sound

And they don't need no friends

As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset

They are in paradise


Waterloo sunset's fine


Hell Raiser



Look out!


Momma let me out on a Saturday night

She said now go out and get her, go and hold her tight

I said now momma you don't understand everytime I touch her...

...hand, it's like I'm burning in the fires of hell

If I hold it too long you never can tell

What would happen to me, wouldn't want you to see

Look out


She's a hell raiser, star chaser, trail blazer

Natural born raver, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hell raiser, star chaser, trail blazer

Natural born raver, yeah, yeah, yeah

Look out


She's like a live bombshell, like a flash out of hell

And when she's shakin' it, ooooh everyone fell...

...at her feet and that's neat and she took me completely...

...by suprise with her ultrasonic eyes

They were flashing like hysterical danger signs

She said beware where you tread or you'll go out of your head

Look out


She's a hell raiser, star chaser, trail blazer

Natural born raver, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hell raiser, star chaser, trail blazer

Natural born raver, yeah, yeah, yeah

Look out


Hell raiser


Momma you don't understand everytime I touch her

...hand, it's like I'm burning in the fires of hell

And if I hold it too long you never can tell

What would happen to me, wouldn't want you to see

Look out


She's a hell raiser, star chaser, trail blazer

Natural born raver, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hell raiser, star chaser, trail blazer

Natural born raver, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hell raiser

Ooooooh look out


10538 Overture



Did you see your friend crying from his eyes today

Did you see him run through the streets and far away, ahh

Did you see him run, did you see him fall

Did his life flash by at the bedroom door


Did you hear the news it came across the air today

Someone has been found on the rocks down in the bay, ahh

Did you see him hide, did you see him crawl

Does his life mean more than it did before


Did you see that man running through the streets today

Did you catch his face, was it 10538, ahh


Street Life



Wish everybody would leave me alone, yeah

They're always calling on my telephone

When I pick it up there's no one there

So I walk outside just to take the air


Come on with me cruising down the street

Who knows what you'll see, who you might meet

This brave new world's not like yesterday

It can take you higher than the milky way


And now I'm blinded, I can hardly see, yeah

No more bright lights confusing me, no

Don't ask me why I'm feeling blue

'Cause loving you is all I can do


Hey good-looking boys gather around

The sidewalk papers gutter-press you down

All those lies, they can be so unkind

They can make you feel like you're losing your mind


Street life
(repeat chorus)

Back to nature boys, vasser girls too

Watch what you say or think or do

Continental-style strasse girls might

But you know exactly if it's wrong or right

Education is an important key, yeah

But the good life's never won by degrees, no

There's pointless passing through Harvard or Yale

Only window shopping, its strictly no sale

Weekend starts Friday soon after eight

Your jet black magic helps you celebrate

You may be stranded if you stick around

And that's really something


Drive-In Saturday



Let me put my arms around your head

Gee it's hot, let's go to bed

Don't forget to turn out the light

Don't laugh babe, it'll be alright

Pour me out another phone

I'll ring and see if your friends are home

Perhaps the strange ones in the dome

Can lend us a book we can read up alone


And try to get it on like once before

When people stared in Jagger's eyes and scored

Like the video films we saw


His name was always Buddy

And he'd shrug and ask to stay

And she'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid

To turn her face away

She's uncertain if she likes him

But she knows she really loves him

It's a crash course for the ravers

It's a drive-in Saturday


Jung the foreman prayed at work

That neither hands nor limbs would burst
It's hard enough to keep formationv
With this fall out saturation

Cursing at the Astronette

He stands in steel by his cabinet

He's crashing out with Sylvian

The Bureau Supply for ageing men


With snorting head he gazes to the shore

Which once had raised a sea that raged no more

Like the video films we saw


His name was always Buddy

And he'd shrug and ask to stay

And she'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid

To turn her face away

She's uncertain if she likes him

But she knows she really loves him

It's a crash course for the ravers

It's a drive-in Saturday


His name was always Buddy

And he'd shrug and ask to stay

And she'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid

To turn her face away

She's uncertain if she likes him

But she knows she really loves him

It's a crash course for the ravers

It's a drive-in Saturday


It's a drive-in Saturday


Little Bit Of Love



I believe

If you give a little bit of love

To those you live with

A little bit of love

Oh oh oh

Has gotta come your way


Well in my mind

It's easy to lose sight of the truth

But in my heart

I can't deny my feeling inside


'Cause I believe

If you give a little bit of love

To those you live with

A little bit of love

Oh oh oh

Has gotta come your way


Man in the sky

You're flying, yeah

To lose sight of the world

If you wanna stay high

Then don't deny your feeling inside


'Cause I believe

If you give a little bit of love

To those you live with

A little bit of love

Oh oh oh

Has gotta come your way


Yeah, yeah

Ooooh


I believe

If you give a little bit of love

To those you live with

A little bit of love

Uh

Has gotta come your way

I believe

If you give a little bit of love

To those you live with

A little bit of love

Whoo

Has gotta come your way


The Golden Age Of Rock 'n' Roll



Ladies and gentlemen, the golden age of rock 'n' roll


Everybody hazy, shell-shocked and crazy

Screaming for the face at the window

Jeans for the genies, dresses for the dreamies

Fighting for a place in the front row


Whoah, whoah, whoah

It's good for your body

It's good for your soul

Whoah, whoah, let's go It's the golden age of rock and roll


Well you getta little buzz, send for the fuzz

Guitars getting higher and higher

The dude in the paint thinks he's gonna faint

Stoke more coke on the fire


Whoah, whoah, whoah

You gotta stay young

You never grow old

Whoah, whoah, whoah

It's the golden age of rock and roll

The golden age of rock 'n' roll will never die

As long as children feel the need to laugh and cry

Don't wanna smash, I want a smash sensation

Don't wanna wreck, just recreation

Don't wanna fight but if you turn us down

We're gonna turn you around

Gonna mess with the sound


The show's gotta move, everybody groove

There ain't no trouble on the streets now

So if the going gets rough, don't you blame us

You ninety-six decible freaks


Whoah, whoah, whoah

It's good for body

It's good for your soul

Whoah, whoah, whoah

It's the golden age of rock and roll


Whoah, whoah, whoah

(You gotta stay young, you never grow old)

It's the golden age of rock and roll

Whoah, whoah, whoah

(It's good for your body, it's good for your soul)

It's the golden age of rock and roll

Whoah, whoah, whoah

(You gotta stay young, you never grow old)

It's the golden age of rock and roll

Whoah, whoah, whoah
(It's good for your body, it's good for your soul)

Don't Believe A Word


Don't believe me if I tell you
Not a word of this is true
Don't believe me if I tell you
Especially if I tell you
I'm in love with you
Don't believe me if I tell you
That I wrote this song for you
There just might be some other silly pretty girl
I'm singing it to

Don't believe a word
For words are so easily spoken
And your heart is just like that promise
Made to be broken

Don't believe a word
'Cause words can tell lies
And your lies are no comfort
When there's tear in your eyes

Don't believe me if I tell you
Not a word of this is true
Don't believe me if I tell you
Especially if I tell you
That I'm in love with you
Don't believe a word
No don't believe a word
Don't believe me, don't believe me
Not a single word
Hey dontcha


Stay With Me


In the mornin' don't say you love me
'Cause I'll only kick you out of the door
I know your name is Rita
'Cause your perfume smells sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor
Guitar

You won't need too much pursuadin'
I don't mean to sound degradin'
But with a face like that you got nothin' to laugh about
Red lips, hair and fingernails
I hear you're a mean old Jezebel
Let's go upstairs and read my tarot cards
Come on honey

Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you're gonna stay with me
Oh yeah
Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me
Come on, one more, yeah

So in the mornin' please don't say you love me
'Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door
Yeah, I'll pay your cab fare home
You can even use my best cologne
But don't be here in the mornin' when I wake up
Come on, yeah

Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you're gonna stay with me
Sit down, get up, get out
Stay with me, stay with me
'Cause tonight you're gonna stay with me
Hey, what's your name again

Oh no
Get out
Come on
Yeah
Get yourself home
Sit down
