1. ONLY YOU CAN ROCK ME

Who's taking time out, we'll take a shine out
We're the boys we got nothing to lose
I've had enough now of school and stuff now
If you ain't with us then it's just bad news

Only you can rock me rock me
Come on back now d o it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kicking out just like a hurricane

We can't wait from day to day
Cuz we've got something to say
We can't wait from day to day
Cuz we've got something to say

Come on the street now on every corner
Breaking out and we're doing what we want to
Just like a jewel shines in the night
She burns so hot out under the street light

We are here and there's no end
We keep on coming again
We are here and there's no end
We just keep coming again

Who's taking time out, we take a shine out
We're the boys we got nothing to lose
I've had enough now of school

And stuff now
If you ain't with us then it's just bad news

Only you can rock me, rock me
Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kickin' out just like a hurricane

We can't wait from day to day
Cuz we've got something to say
We are here and there's no end
We'll keep on coming again

We can't wait from day to day
Cuz we've got something to say
We are here and there's no end
We'll keep on coming again


2. HOT'N'READY

You knock me out you're like a well oiled Smith & Wesson
Hot & Ready, ready to use
Dressed to the nines, you know you don't look 15,
There's no Question

Hot & Ready, ready to use
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe

Don't need I.D. and there's no house detective to crowd You...

Hot & Ready, ready to use
Slip in the back door and slip out of what ever your into
Hot & Ready, ready to use
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe (x2)

I'm coming through, I've gotta get to you babe (x2)


3. TOO HOT TO HANDLE

Caught in the crossfire, warnin' fight
Legends make or break game
Swept up by the rolling waves of the night
The paper chase for fame

I was too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I was too, too hot
Too hot to handle

Wink of an eye, the feelings ran high
A real rock and roll molest
But I ain't no romance
And I ain't no slow chance
Won't get no quick change

And I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle

Sha la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
Sha la la la, keep on coming
Do it once but never the same
(x2)

I'm in your town, won't fool around
I'll make some action stick
Just like the story says, these boys are bad
So keep out of shootin' range

And I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
(x2)


4. LIGHTS OUT

Wind blows back and the batons charging
It winds all the way
Right to the butt of my gun
Maybe now your time has come

From the back streets there's a rumblin'

Smell of anarchy
No more nice time, bright boy shoe shines
Pie in the sky dreams

Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on (my) run

Heaven help those who help themselves
That's the way it goes
The frightening thoughts of what's been taught
And now it shows

Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on (my) run

You keep comin', there's no runnin'
Tried a thousand times
Under your feet grass is growin'
Time we said goodbye

Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on (my) run

Lights out, lights out in London
Lights out, lights out in London


5. I'M A LOSER

Last train's eleven, it's now quarter past
Why're you tryin' to make the evenin' move so fast
I'm in real trouble but I can't go back home
They locked the doors and I'm left out alone

You can come to my place and sleep on the couch
Lots of people do it and we won't leave you out
Hard times out on the street
Hard times, hard to beat

The painted lies they all hand you
I'm a loser on the road
I'm a loser on the road, yeah

Houston station and it's cold as ice
All night specials, they move you on
But me and Ginger over there

We got this thing where we really take care
You can come to my place and sleep on the couch
Lots of people do it and we won't leave you out
Hard times out on the street
Hard times, hard to beat

The painted lies they all hand you
I'm a loser on the road
I'm a loser on the road, yeah

I'm a loser, I'm a loser
I'm a loser


6. NATURAL THING

Since you came from Memphis
You can look but please don't touch
Didn't like rock and rollers
Seemed a bit much too much

Cause it's the natural thing feelin' the star
Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, get up a star
Then she'll never let you go

Hey girl, now does it feel all right
Think I'm gettin' through
Don't you think the band's real tight
Wait til we start to move

May sound funny but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny but you gave it to me
And now I got to live without it

I been down to Atlanta
Got to move my feet
Gettin' down before the last call
With every star she meets

Cause it's the natural thing feelin' the star
Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, get up a star
Then she'll never let you go

May sound funny but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny but you gave it to me
And now I got to live without it

Cause it's the natural thing feelin' the star
Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, get up a star
Then she'll never let you go

Why'd you do it, why'd you do it


7. LET IT ROLL

Cold wide sweet highway the place where we'd all go
Went out like a razor sharp and we'd all let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll, let it go
Let it roll

She'd skid up, and we really let it down
Layin' it out, let it roll

When these wheels get rollin'
Let 'em roll right over you
The time will be sound and I'll always put it through
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll

She'd skid up, and we really let it down
Layin' it out, let it roll

Cold wide sweet highway the place where we'd all go
Went out like a razor sharp and we'd all let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll, let it go
Let it roll

She'd skid up, and we really let it down
Layin' it out, let it roll


8. OUT IN THE STREET

Lady loves to hang on
Lady liked a real intellectual
Sweet sister your still shaking
And your tragedy is never ending
Silver shoes you're wearing
Every window that you've ever stared in
Over my head, over my head

Sidewalks of the city
And every theater there you've ever played
Your comic book impersonations
Your wish for cinders embers to keep
Over my head, so it' all

Out in the street for just one more matinee
Yes, your vaudeville carries on
So put a smile in front your man can see
Yes, your vaudeville carries on

Out in the street for just one more matinee
Yes, your vaudeville carries on
So put a smile in front your man can see
Yes, your vaudeville carries on

Lady loves to hang on
Lady liked a real intellectual
Sweet sister your still shaking
And your tragedy is never ending
Silver shoes you're wearing
Every window that you've ever stared in
Over my head, over my head


9. DOCTOR DOCTOR

Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in
She walked up to me and really stole my heart
And then she started to take my body apart

Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you
Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you

Doctor doctor, please
Oh I'm goin' fast
Doctor doctor, please, oh, I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment
She's turning paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy

Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in
But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength, and I can't take any more

Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you
Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you

Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in
But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength, and I can't take any more


10. ROCK BOTTOM

Seventeen a nature's queen, know what I mean
Twenty one, a long one, and you can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful, lyin' there asleep
With the wings of God above you, before the spirits meet

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Shadow work is closin' in above the lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin' down free to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by the, hands on your clock
Heaven don't open when you knock

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

With all darkness closin' in,
Will the light reveal your Soul?
One sweet kiss on your clay cold lips,
I'll not sleep you'll Never know
Where do we go? Where do we go? Where do we go from here?

Seventeen a nature's queen, know what I mean
Twenty one, a long one, and you can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful, lyin' there asleep
With the wings of God above you, before the spirits meet

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
