Empty Promises

In a funny looking glass
Reflection of a face
One that I've seen before
I knock wood
I see you're using me

Always trying to read the score
When you're leading me on
The truth comes then it's gone
With you there's no certainty
In your private schools
You've broken all the rules
Don't you try doing the same thing to me

Oh, you're giving me promises
What did I ever do to you
Empty promises
When am I ever gonna get the truth, oh oh
What am I gonna do, yeah

The first time I kissed you baby
I kiss you in the back of my car
You lead me to believe that
That it's nothing like I see
Honey, that's the way things are

You promise me romance
But that was just a dance
A chance til you took control, yeah
Let me be your private school
I'll teach you the rules
Maybe by the end of the summer

So don't be giving me promises
What did I ever do to you
Empty promises
When am I ever gonna hear the truth
No more promises
What did I, what did I ever do to you
Empty promises
When am I ever gonna get the truth, oh oh
What am I gonna do
Oh, what am I ever gonna do

And you promised me the world
But you dance to a different drummer
Let me be your private school
And I'll teach you the rules
Baby by the end of the summer

Then there'll be no more promises
What did I ever do to you
Empty promises
When am I ever gonna hear the truth
Promises oh oh
Empty promises
When am I gonna hear the truth
Oh oh oh oh
When am I gonna hear the truth
(Promise)
When am I gonna, gonna get the truth
Empty promises
What did I ever do to you

Trouble

[Rhoads, DuBrow]
[Originally from: Quiet Riot II (Japan Only)]

I got a letter in the mail sayin' that I'm gonna go to jail
Someone's got an axe, lookin' out for me
I was feelin' pretty nice didn't have to think twice
Finders keepers, baby, keep it away from me

You're gettin' me in trouble
Gettin' me in trouble
Gettin' me in trouble
Every day and night
I'm all right

Well I'm a high speed king I never think about a thing
Now all I can do is moan, Oh no
Everybody takes their turn from the trash I have learned

You're getting' me in trouble
Gettin' me in trouble
Gettin' me in trouble
Every day and night
I'm all right

You try to put the weight of the world on top of my shoulders
You got to know that you're a little girl who wants to feel older, feel older
Trouble, trouble, I'm in trouble baby
You're gettin' me in trouble

Gettin' me in trouble
Gettin' me in trouble
Every day and night

Nothin' I can say and nothin' I can do
Will get me off the road that leads to you

I'm in trouble, trouble, trouble
I'm in trouble, trouble, trouble
I'm in trouble, trouble, trouble

Laughing Gas

[Rhoads, DuBrow]
[Previously unreleased]

Stay alive, just laugh the time away
You'll survive, do what you do your way

Burn the fire like a flame and knock 'em out in a hot flash
They'll all think that you're insane, it's just a laughing gas

Bombs away, they won't do you no harm
Help me babe, I have ..... of your charm

Afterglow (Of Your Love)

[Steve Marriott of Humble Pies/Small Faces cover]
[Previously unreleased acoustic version]
[Original version is on Quiet Riot II (Japan Only)]

Love is all around me everywhere
Love has come to touch my soul
With someone who really cares
No one can deny us
People who once passed me by
Will turn their heads 'round

I'm happy just to be with you,
And lovin' you the way I do
'Cause everything I need to know,
Just resting in the afterglow of your love

You, as you have always been here
A feeling deep inside
A feeling that I could not see or touch
Or try to hide

My love is in and around you
I bless the day that I found you
So listen baby

I'm happy just to be with you,
And lovin' you the way I do
'Cause everything I need to know,
Just resting in the afterglow of your love

Love is like a voice in my head
Keeps turning around the things we've said

I'm happy just to be with you,
And lovin' you the way I do
'Cause everything I need to know,
Just resting in the afterglow of your love

Killer Girls

[Rhoads, DuBrow, Sobol]
[Originally on: Quiet Riot II (Japan Only)]

The chicks in the town been runnin' around
On the loose
Legs they'll spread for free or for bread
On the loose
Can't get enough to satisfy their lust
On the loose

Killer girls waitin' in line for me
Blood thirsty, get home in time for tea
Killer girls for all you boys to see
Easy action, get what you want for free

Never ease up, got a stick shift disease
Turn me loose
Hypnotized when they give me the eye
Turn me loose
In their disguise I see murder and lies
Turn me loose

Killer girls waitin' in line for me
Blood thirsty, get home in time for tea
Killer girls for all you boys to see
Easy action, get what you want for free

Killer girls in a frenzy on me
No more juice
Take my advice, you'd better think twice
No more juice
They'll hump and bump you, forget your name
No more juice

Killer girls waitin' in line for me
Blood thirsty, get home in time for tea
Killer girls for all you boys to see
Easy action, get what you want for free

Picking Up The Pieces

[Rhoads, DuBrow ]
[Previously unreleased]

Take cover, young lovers,
fall apart at the seams
It's stainless steel, that's how I feel,
you're the girl of my dreams

Well I tried to call you on the phone,
your dad said that you weren't at home

But we are, picking up the pieces of our lovin'
over and over again
Picking up the pieces let's do it again
We're picking up the pieces,
picking up the pieces of our love

Well, I need your lovin'
to show me what I am
And I want your body
to make me feel like a man

You know that I'm down on my knees,
you know it's you that I want to please, please

Picking up the pieces of our lovin'
over and over again
Picking up the pieces let's do it again
We're picking up the pieces,
picking up the pieces of our love

Last Call For Rock And Roll

[Kevin DuBrow - Randy Rhoads -- Drew Forsyth - Kelly Garni]

There's a noise on the street
Yes, the sound of a rebel heart beating way
So get up off your seat
The passion and the glory tell a different story
There's a riot going on in the city
We've got the fire burning
Wheels have given up turning
If you listen real hard you will hear
The sound is getting louder
Can't you feel the power

It's the last call for Rock'N'Roll
Rhythm is the power that'll shake your soul
Last call for Rock'N'Roll
Music's gonna take you out of control
Last call for Rock'N'Roll

There's the next line on the way
We can generate it
Never can contain it
So together, don't be shy
You for debation all around cross the nation
Fell the pressure, feel the heat
People cry and live
Having not enough to eat
An eye for an eye is rhythm
The problem's getting bigger
The bigger are the trigger

It's the last call for Rock'N'Roll
Rhythm is the power that'll shake your soul
Last call for Rock'N'Roll
Music's gonna take you out of control
Last call for Rock'N'Roll

Stand up and be counted
Or it'll pass you by
Ain't no time to prove it
It's gonna be your time

Riots going on in your city
The fire's gonna burn, the wheels are gonna turn
Listen real hard you will hear
The sound is getting louder
Can't you feel the power

Of the last call for Rock'N'Roll
Rhythm is the power that'll shake your soul
Last call for Rock'N'Roll
Music's gonna take you out of control
Last call for Rock'N'Roll

Last call for Rock'N'Roll
Rhythm is the power that'll shake your soul
Last call for Rock'N'Roll
Music's gonna take you out of control
Last call for Rock'N'Roll
Last call for Rock'N'Roll
Last call for Rock'N'Roll

Breaking Up Is A Heartache

[Randy Rhoads - Kevin DuBrow]

Summer days ya play to find a home
It's no use to trying to be clever
No no never
We all have dreams of never being apart
We thought that we could stay together
Forever

Breaking up is a heartache
Keeping up is a fool's game
Breaking up is a heart ache
Can't you see?

Confusing me
Will you go or will you stay
A voice inside tells me
You're on your way

Breaking up can be hard
Don't you know?
I thought that love would keep us together
Forever

Breaking up is a heartache
Keeping up is a fool's game
Breaking up is a heartache
Can't you see?

Breaking up is a heartache
Keeping up is a fool's game
Breaking up is a heartache for me

Breaking up is a heartache
Keeping up is a fool's game
Breaking up is a heartache for me

Force Of Habit

[Rhoads, DuBrow]
[Previously unreleased]

Too much coffee's gonna shatter my nerves,
too much whiskey's gonna stutter my words
A whole lot of speed gonna take me to fast,
how much longer can I last

Too many women gonna put me to waste,
too much money gonna spoil my taste
Doctor says to slow down if you wanna stay alive,
how am I gonna survive - I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, oh yea
Been working to hard don't got no time to rest,
don't look to well I ain't feeling my best
Can't push much harder before I fall on the ground,
I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown

I've gotta slow down,
get my feet on the ground, yeah
I better slow down fast,
today could be my last, all right

It's Not So Funny Anymore

[Rhoads, DuBrow]
[Originally from: Quiet Riot (Japan Only)]

Walking 'round the town with nothing to do
Rock-n-roll ringin' in my ears
Work just 'til nine I'm singin' the blues
Got to find a way out of here

It's not so funny
Just a kid, nobody listens to me
Ain't got the money to do what I want
Something's got to set me free

You say when you grow up you'll have what you want
And everything that you need
What is the use of having it all
If you listen and never be seen

It's not so funny
Just a kid, nobody listens to me
Ain't got the money to do what I want
Something's got to set me free

If I could suddenly be older
I'd show them all and bring them down to my size

My parents tell me you're not the only one
There's a lot of kids around like you
If all of us kids got together for fun
We'd show you a thing or two
No no no

It's not so funny
Just a kid, nobody listens to me
Ain't got the money to do what I want
Something's got to set me free
It's not so funny
I ain't got no money
It's not so funny
I ain't got no money
It's not so funny
I ain't got no money...
