Lyrics

1. ARABIA

Ooooh hot sun burning in the desert
Ooooh no one will ever come out alive

I’m a slave – chained and bonded
My grave – is the burning sand
Be brave – there’s no escape from the endless caravan

I crossed the desert
Climbed the mountains
Swam the sea
ARABIA
I’ve got to wake up
I wanna be free

Ooooh hot nights – dreams are taking over
Take a flight on a magic carpet
To the banks of the river nile

I wanna be there
In ARABIA
Waking up inside the palace of fantasia
I wanna be there
In ARABIA
Ooooh

I’m gonna break free
I’m gonna break
I’m gonna break free tonight


2. BROADWAY - HOLLYWOOD - BEVERLY HILLS

You’re a star of the silver screen
Want you to know – you’re the best I’ve ever seen
I’ve ever seen

You’re all around, all over the place
No matter where I look, I see your face
I see your face

Look out, broadway, hollywood, beverly hills
Here I come, babe,babe, babe you’re mine

Spend the night with a bottle of wine
She said “hey, tomorrow you’ll be mine”
You’ll be mine !

You’re my queen, my heart’s desire
When we’re alone, you set my soul on fire
Soul on fire !

I don’t care what the people say
You’re mine, nobody’s gonna take you away
Don’t take her away !

I know they call me the fool of the town
But I’m sure you’ll never let me down
Don’t let me down !

Look out, broadway, hollywood, beverly hills
Here I come, babe,babe, babe you’re mine


3. CRY OF THE SIRENS

Few thousand years ago, on the island of Calypso
Here begins our tale of Ulysses, the warrior
He fought the Trojan war, he heard the giant’s roar
And now he sails his ship across the seas
And he went down to the underworld, the reals of the shadows
Where evil spirits fly and horror takes shape
Too many people cried, too many died
But still they never left this side

So beware, there’s a danger in the air
They’re flying on the wind
The end is in high, now you and I will die
Deny: the cry of the sirens
The sirens
He sailed across the seas, never got down on his knees
Let it be known, he’s always been the one to lead

Save me, save me voices everywhere
Save me, save me it’s more than I can bare
Get me to the shore, I just can’t take no more
I’ve never felt this way before

So beware, there’s a danger in the air
They’re flying on the wind
The end is in high, now you and I will die
Deny: the cry of the sirens
The sirens
He sailed across the seas, never got down on his knees
Let it be known, he’s always been the one to lead

Their visions were seen
In the air
Their voices were heard
Driving them to despair

‘Bout 20 years, had passed since he’d been gone
And all that he found was misery
He swore revenge, for all the bad they had done
Until his restless soul could finally be free

So beware, there’s a danger in the air
They’re flying on the wind
The end is in high, now you and I will die
Deny: the cry of the sirens
The sirens
He sailed across the seas, never got down on his knees
Let it be known, he’s always been the one to lead


He sailed across the seas, never got down on his knees
let it be known, he’s always been the one to lead

He sailed the seas
Never got down on his knees


4. WALLBANGER

Don’t even know if I’m dead or alive
Don’t even know where I am
Ain’t got no clue – if I’ll even survive
I don’t give a damn
I’ve got a headache, boy you wouldn’t believe
So whatever you do, don’t be loud
I’m only trying just to get some relief
So whatever you do, don’t shout

No beers, no whisky’s, don’t need no bottles of wine
No one here, is gonna miss me, I’ll go, get, go
Ggggget me a…

Wallbanger, wallbanger, bang me to the wall
Wallbanger, wallbanger, bang me to the wall

So if you ever wanna get real pissed
There’s only one thing to do
You’ve gotta try it, you’ll know what you’ve missed
So I’m gonna give it to you

No beers, no whisky’s, don’t need no bottles of wine
No one here, is gonna miss me, I’ll go, get, go
Ggggget me a…

Wallbanger, wallbanger, bang me to the wall
Wallbanger, wallbanger, bang me to the wall


5. THE BEST GUNFIGHTER IN TOWN

I’m gonna tell you a story
‘Bout a hero of the old wild west
He had the power and the glory
And everyone knew Jim was the best

So when there used to be a gunfight
Jimmy was fast on the draw
People dying in the sunlight
He was the meanest draw you ever saw

BUT NOW !

CHORUS

He’s kind to the ladies
Father of some babies
He’s the best gunfighter in the whole damned town
He sits by the fire
Old, bold and tired
He’s the best gunfighter in town

Now Jim was looking for a lover
So every girl had to run ’n’ hide
And as they quickly ran for cover
He came hunting for a brand new bride

BUT NOW !

He’s kind to the ladies
Father of some babies
He’s the best gunfighter in the whole damned town
He sits by the fire
Old, bold and tired
He’s the best gunfighter in town

Now he finally found his loved-one
Or should we say: she found him
Her tongue was faster than his handgun
That was the end of our old mean Jim

BUT NOW !

He’s kind to the ladies
Father of some babies
He’s the best gunfighter in the whole damned town
He sits by the fire
Old, bold and tired
He’s the best gunfighter in town

He writes to his mother – tells her not to bother
He’s losing all his hair – and he doesn’t even care
Church every Sunday – working every Monday


6. CASTLES IN THE AIR

INTRO :

I still recall all the words you said
Our love would always be there
And when I’d fall you’d ease my head
And you’d always care

Then came a time when all had changed
Stars were dying in the sky
It was a time when all was strange
Still I don’t know why

Bring all those memories back
Take the sun and make it shine
Bring all those memories back
Be forever mine

Out in the night – beyond the horizon
Out of the light where the sun never shines
There lives a man – alone with his dreams
No one knows what it means

She’s always there – no one can see her
She’s everywhere and she’s nowhere at all
She will survive – she keeps him alive
Out in that place where the sun never shines

CORUS

But when the seas are red, and the sky is black
And in the end
When all the stars come falling – I!
It will be there at your side
Building castles in the air

Get down – get down

He’ll never die, he’s been there for ages
He’ll never cry cause he’s never alone
His eyes are shut, a smile on his face
Out in that place where the sun never shines

But when the seas are red, and the sky is black
And in the end
When all the stars come falling – I!
It will be there at your side
Building castles in the air

Your eyes – light up in the black and your smile
Brings all those memories back
The memories of long ago, from a time
You used to be mine

Your hair – it shines in the sun and I know
Like you there can be only one
Together we’ll always be there, somewhere
In the air

But when the seas are red, and the sky is black
And in the end
When all the stars come falling – I!
It will be there at your side
Building castles in the air


7. IF LOVIN' YOU IS WRONG

Takes a little while
Still I see your smile, I close my eyes
And think of you again
It’s true again, forever gone
It’s so hard to tell the truth from a dream
It’s not what it seems

Now all that’s left is just a memory
As I roam the lonely highways of the night

CHORUS

If lovin’ you is wrong babe
If lovin’ you is wrong
If lovin’ you is wrong babe, I’m wrong
And I never felt this way before

Walking down the lane
Fighting all the pain I feel inside
I’m on my own again
Alone again, forever gone
All the dreams you’ve left behind, they seem so real
I don’t know what to feel

Now all that’s left is just a memory
as I roam the lonely highways of the night

If lovin’ you is wrong babe
If lovin’ you is wrong
If lovin’ you is wrong babe, I’m wrong
And I never felt this way before


If lovin’ you is wrong babe
If lovin’ you is wrong
If lovin’ you is wrong babe, I’m wrong
And I never felt this way before


8. CHILDREN OF THE STREETS

I’m gonna take you to the highway
In the middle of the night
I’m gonna take you to the highway
So you better learn to fight
Voices in the back, noises in the black
Don’t believe your own shadow
I’m gonna take you to the highway
In the middle of the night

Children of the streets
Are the children of tomorrow
Children of the streets
Beware, take care and walk away, get out

No sound – they’re all around
No sigh – you don’t wanna die
No choice - all that remains
Is you gotta break the chains

I’m gonna take you to the city
When all the lights are low
I’m gonna take you to the city
Down the streets below
Ready to attack, a crazy maniac
Is creeping up behind you
I’m gonna take you to the city
When all the lights are low

Children of the streets
are the children of tomorrow
Children of the streets
beware, take care and walk away, get out

Children of the streets
Are the children of tomorrow
Children of the streets
Beware, take care and walk away, get out


No sound – they’re all around
No sigh – you don’t wanna die
You’re on the ledge, living on the edge
You’re in the drain, hiding from the rain
No way back – under attack
No way out – now you wanna shout
No choice - all that remains
Is you gotta break the chains, the chains


9. JUST WHAT MY DOCTOR ORDERED

Lady – I need a lover
So bad – it makes me mad
Baby – I will recover
As soon as you’ll be mine

You wanna know what the doctor said
as I opened up the door
He said: “man, you look like hell”
and I know, I know what is wrong with you

YOU’RE

Just what my doctor ordered
You’re big, bad and you’re beautiful

YOU’RE

Just what my doctor ordered
As he carried me away

Lady – I’m going crazy
My head aches – my body shakes
Baby – I’m feeling lazy
I stay in bed all day

YOU’RE

Just what my doctor ordered
You’re big, bad and you’re beautiful


10. THAT'S THE WAY THE STORY

Ain’t got no money
I gave it all away
Ain’t got no money
Now I’ve got to pay
Ain’t got no money now
And everybody knows
That’s the way the story goes

Ain’t got no lover
She didn’t like my style
Ain’t got no lover
Now I’m free for a while
Ain’t got no lover now
And everybody knows
That’s the way the story goes


Ain’t got no job
They kicked me out
Ain’t got no job
They told me not to shout
Ain’t got no job no more
And everybody knows
That’s the way the story goes

Ain’t got no worries
I don’t own a thing
Ain’t got no worries
All I gotta do is sing
Ain’t got no worries now
And everybody knows
That’s the way the story goes
That’s the way the story goes


11. BAD BOY FOR LOVE (Rose Tattoo Cover)

Thirty days in the county jail
Let me out and I just wanted to wail
Some fool tried to hold me down
I got drunk and I ripped up the town

I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love

Well I...I went around just to see my chick
I found her room and it was candle lit
She's makin' love to another man
I shot 'em both and they locked me in the slam

I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love

Mmm bad...so bad

Well I...I heard the word there was a local break
It was a chance I just had to take
I jumped the wall and I was on the run
They came after me with a thousand guns

'Cause I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love

Yeah I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
Yeah I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love

Honey I'm bad...thirty years mama
In the county jail...


12. HOW ABOUT TONIGHT

I’ve always been a ramblin’ man
Roving about all across the land
Ain’t no place gonna tie me down
When there’s a party I’m around

I’m in an awful situation
I cannot make it on my own
I’ve got to have your invitation
Don’t wanna spend the night alone

Ain’t got no money
Ain’t got no place to go
I’ve got to let you know
I need a little lovin’ and some kisses on the side
Hey baby, how about tonight

I’m gonna live till the day I die
There ain’t nobody bound to make me cry
Or born to break this heart of mine
Out of sight, out of mind

I’m in an awful situation
I cannot make it on my own
I’ve got to have your invitation
Don’t wanna spend the night alone

Ain’t got no money
Ain’t got no place to go
I’ve got to let you know
I need a little lovin’ and some kisses on the side
Hey baby, how about tonight

Country girl – you are mine
We can have a real good time
Country girl – we can’t go wrong
Sit right down, and play me your song

Ain’t got no money
Ain’t got no place to go
I’ve got to let you know
I need a little lovin’ and some kisses on the side
Hey babe, how about tonight (repeat)
