"The Power Of Rock"

"The Power Of Rock"


He was a lonely boy in a broken land
Where people were living and dying in the name of a higher man
And then one day into his hand the power of rock and roll

She was a hungry girl for a caring world
And the rules say don't take a step over there, but she carries on
And drawn one day into the force by the power of rock and roll

Oh, oh, fighting for love, and singing you
Oh, oh, telling you why, and showing you
Oh oh, gonna be joined by rock and roll

In a working band he became the man
But the law of the street said the could not meet in any circumstance
But she did not care, they began to share the power of rock and roll

Oh, oh, fighting for love, and singing you
Oh, oh, telling you why, and showing you
Oh oh, gonna be joined by rock and roll

Well they were learning, of trouble they stayed ahead
And they were burning, burning up and seeing red
That the place they loved would fall apart
If you can't show feeling from the heart
And then fighting, know what they were fighting for
Can everybody give and take a little more
Because it's all too easy to forget
That you can fight 'til there ain't no reason left
So everybody.... sing

Oh, oh, and singing you
Oh, oh, and showing you
Woh oh oh, and telling you
Woh oh oh

He was a lonely man, she was a hungry girl
Living on different sides, they were praying for a guiding word
And then one day into their hands, the power of rock and roll

Oh, oh, and singing you
Oh, oh, and showing you
Woh oh oh, and telling you
Woh oh oh

"The Price Of Love"

"The Price Of Love"


Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
You drink all you can but you won't forget her
You talk too much, you laugh too loud
You see her face in every crowd

That's the price of love, the price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
Costs you more when you're to blame

You kiss one girl, you kiss another
You kiss them all but you won't recover
You're dancing slow, you're dancing fast
You're happy now but that won't last

That's the price of love, the price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
Costs you more when you're to blame

That's the price of love, the price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
Costs you more when you're to blame

That's the price of love, the price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
Costs you more when you're to blame

Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
You drink all you can but you won't forget her.

"The Reason For Goodbye"

"The Reason For Goodbye"


Walk out the door and keep on moving
'Cos you won't get a second chance
No-one ever treat me so bad baby
You can find some other dance
Tell all your friends down on the corner
You're looking for another fool
'Cos I ain't gonna let you walk on me, babe
Wouldn't make me look too cool

That's the reason, the reason
It won't do you any good to cry
You ain't never gonna change
The reason why we said goodbye

Shake off the tears, and so long, baby
You know you made a big mistake
Thinking you could cheat on me was simply
More than any man could take
We had a lot of good times once, but baby
Now I guess the good time's gone
You'd be better off with someone who would
Take your loving and move on

That's the reason, the reason
It won't do you any good to cry
You ain't never gonna change
The reason why we said goodbye

I got a little sick and tired of people talking
Telling me they know the score
I didn't wanna hear what they were saying
I kept coming back for more, more, mo-o-o-ore

That's the reason, the reason
It won't do you any good to cry
You ain't never gonna change
The reason why we said goodbye
That's the reason, the reason
It won't do you any good to cry
You ain't never gonna change
The reason why we said
You're never gonna change
The reason why we said
You're never gonna change
The reason why we said goodbye

"The Safety Dance"

"The Safety Dance"


We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
'Cos your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
Say, we can go wher we want to, places they can never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real world far behind

We can go if we want to, night is young and so was I
And we can dress real neat from our heads to our feet
And surprise them with a victory cry
I said, we can act if we want to, if we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
I can act like an imbecile

We can dance, we can dance, everything is under control
We can dance, we can dance, doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance, everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance, everybody's taking the chance
The safety dance
Woh, safety dance, yeah, the safety dance

We can dance if we want to, we got all your life to find
As long as we have music, never gonna lose it
Everything will work out right
We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
'Cos your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine

We can dance, we can dance, everything is under control
We can dance, we can dance, doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance, everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance, everybody's taking the chance
Safety dance
Oh, safety dance, yeah, safety dance
Safety dance, safety dance
Oh, safety dance, safety dance

"The Wanderer"

"The Wanderer"


I'm the type of guy who never settles down
Where pretty girls are, you'll know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cause to me they're all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em, they don't even know my name
They call me the Wanderer, yeah, Wanderer
I roam round and round and round and round

There's Flo on my left and there's Mary on my right
And Janie is the girl
that'll be with tonight
And when she asks me which one I love the best
I tear open my shirt and show
Rosie on my chest

'Cause I'm the Wanderer, yeah, Wanderer
I roam round and round and round and round

(Bridge)
Well, I roam from town to town
Live life without a care
I'm as happy as a clown
With my 2 fists of iron but I'm goin' nowhere

I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place;
I roam from town to town
And when I find myself a-fallin' for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine and drive around the world
'Cause I'm the Wanderer, yeah, Wanderer
I roam round and round and round and round

"The Way I Am"

"The Way I Am"


I been cheated, been mistreated
Ain't ashamed of whatever I've been
Seen the good times, lived the bad times
Now I'm looking at the shape I'm in
Ain't got no money, ain't got no degree
But I got me somebody, she's taking care of me
And she told me that she wants me
Again and again and again and again and a-

She understands the way I am
I can see it in her eyes
She never tried to make me cry
She wants me for the way I am

I used to be so that I did not know
Take the chances when they came my way
Now I live like there's no tomorrow
And what is gone belongs to yesterday
Don't got no big car, ain't got no jet plane
But I got me that one thing they can never take away
'Cos she told me that she loves me
Over and over and over and over and

She understands the way I am
I can see it in her eyes
She never tried to make me cry
She wants me for the way I am

Well I ain't got everything money can buy
But I've got everything that I need to get by
'Cos she told me that she loves me
Forever and ever and ever and ever and

She understands the way I am
I can see it in her eyes
She never tried to make me cry
She loves the way I am
She understands the way I am
I can see it in her eyes
She never tried to make me cry
She wants me for the way I am

"The Way It Goes"

"The Way It Goes"


Living isn't easy, feeling bright and breezy
Everybody has to try
Seeing and believing, never show the reason why
Even when we grow up and our bodies slow up, no, no, no
We think again but do we understand?

That's the way it goes, oh everybody knows
That you can't survive if you ain't got drive
Those velvet wings can't help you fly
Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by
But you must carry on

People try and tell you anything they want to
Saying that it's only fun
When they got you looking down the barrel of a gun
Never if we know it are we gonna blow it, no, no, no
We think again and so we understand

That's the way it goes, oh everybody knows
That you can't survive if you ain't got drive
Those velvet wings can't help you fly
Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by
But you must carry on

I haven't told any secrets
I swore not to tell any lies
Something inside me is saying
That's the way it goes, that's the way it goes

Those velvet wings can't help you fly
Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by
But you must carry on

That's the way it goes, oh everybody knows
That you can't survive if you ain't got drive
Those velvet wings can't help you fly
Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by
But you must carry on

Yeah, those velvet wings can't help you fly
Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by
But you must carry on

"The Wild Ones"

"The Wild Ones"


Easy riders in the morning sun
Are you coming here to have your fun?
Ev'rybody wants to know your game
How could you ever explain
When ev'rybody's given you the name
Of the wild ones

And I can see the road ahead
Winding into the sun
It only feels like yesterday
Remember me, remember me

Easy riders don't you know you're done
Everybody wants to point the gun
No one likes the kind of clothes you wear
Or even the look of your hair
It doesn't matter if you're right or wrong
You're the wild ones

And no one wants to understand
the only way it can be
Living on the wild side
The only way could never be

I remember the summertime
And the riding out into the breeze
And I remember the apple wine
Filling my head up with dreams
If only I could walk away
I'd do it all over again
But riding high on apple wine
It never mixed well in the end
Easy riders are coming
but now there's somebody gone
I'm sitting here all alone
And looking away, just looking away

Easy riders in the morning sun
Are you coming here to have your fun?
Ev'rybody wants to know your game
How could you ever explain
When ev'rybody's given you the name
Of the wild ones

Easy rider, easy rider, you're the wild ones
Easy rider, easy rider, you're the wild ones
Easy rider, easy rider, you're the wild ones

"The Winner"

"The Winner"


You've finally made it, a winner
for all of the world to see
a long time caught in the winter
is worth all the pain
Nothing comes easy you know-one
can take it away from you
'cos when you're a winner
you know you can do it all over again

Yeah, you can't do no better
Yeah, no better than that
Yeah, you can't do no better
Yeah, no better than that

There's something about you that tells us
you're gonna go all the way
we knew it was coming, a winner
right from the start
no need to feel lonely
that's only a natural part of you
'cos when you're a winner
you know you can do it with all of your heart

Yeah, you can't do no better
Yeah, no better than that
Yeah, you can't do no better
Yeah, no better than that

"Thinking Of You"

"Thinking Of You"


Up in the morning and down in the evening
Light in the night time and dark in the day
Running for something and waiting for nothing
Looking at people and hiding away
Asking a question when I know the answer
Hanging around when I just wanna play

I'm thinking of you again
I'm thinking of you
Don't know what to do again
But I'm thinking of you
Tell me what you're doing then
I'll know that it's you
Don't wanna be blue again
So I'm thinking of you

Into a new day and out on the highway
Cut in the fast lane and going so slow
Talking 'bout old days and walking in new ways
Watching those tv reality shows
Sitting in silence with standing room only
Moving in closer and ready to go

I'm thinking of you again
I'm thinking of you
Don't know what to do again
But I'm thinking of you
Tell me what you're doing then
I'm thinking of you

Where are we going
We're on a roll
You'll see me coming
I'm coming through

Up in the morning and down in the evening
Light in the night time and dark in the day
Asking a question when I know the answer
Hanging around when I just wanna play

I'm thinking of you again
I'm thinking of you
Don't know what to do again
But I'm thinking of you
Tell me what you're doing then
I'll know that it's you again
Don't wanna be blue again
So I'm thinking of you
