1. MEAN STREAK

Overtime everyday of the week
Still the house ain’t big enough
Spend your money so fast
That you never see the green
Big, better, best, tell me where does it end?
Keeping up with the Joneses is tough

Better open your eyes boy
She just wanna buy, buy, buy
Better wake up boy
I’ll tell you why

[Chorus:]
She’s got a mean streak
But you love her so much
You don’t wanna see her mean streak
Everybody knows she’s got you on a leash
Mean streak
Well she’d laugh in your face
But you’re kissin’ her feet
You’re never good enough
In the eyes of a woman with a mean streak

Every time that I look at you boy
I can see you’re a nervous wreck
You try too hard to give her every little
thing
Big car, big pool, big house, heart attack
You’d better bend or you’re gonna break
How far can she take you
She just wanna buy, buy, buy
She’s gonna break you, I’ll tell you why

[Chorus]

It could be different now
If she thought you’d say goodbye
But you’re too weak to try
Things won’t change ‘till you open up your
eyes
How could you be so blind?

[Chorus]


2. STRAIGHT THRU THE HEART

They say where there’s smoke there’s fire
But you turn a spark into a blaze
I ain’t calling you a liar
Just speak the truth when you speak my name

I know how you talk about
Everyone when they’re not around
In such a wicked way
Burn ‘em all with the things you say
If they knew, they'd walk away

[Chorus:]
Straight thru the heart
Straight thru the heart
You should be ashamed
Straight thru the heart

Words in the dark
From the things you say
Straight thru the heart
First cut ‘em down to sucker size
But you say I'm OK
That's what you're doing
Can't tell the truth from the lies
With that smile mask on your face

Oh you cause such hurt and pain
When you talk that way
So if you wanna still call me friend
Count me out of your bad, bad talking

[Chorus]


3. LONELY SIDE OF TOWN

It’s a cold, cold city
When you’re out there on your own
What a shame and a pity
That no one wants to know

I see the people laugh and share
But for me there’s no one there
This empty life just isn’t fair
And the world don’t see me here

[Chorus:]
I’m on the lonely
Lonely side of town right here
I'm on the lonely
Lonely side of town

Well I never was a loner
How did I fall so far?
Tell me where did I go wrong
Did I stay away too long?

With my old friends it’s not the same
Seems we don’t know what to say
I understand but still it’s strange
When your friends just fade away

[Chorus]

I see the people laugh and share
But for me there’s no one there
This empty life just isn’t fair
And the world don't see me here

[Chorus]


4. MIDNIGHT IN TOKYO

From afar I have come
’Cause you called to me
A guitar was the sound that you heard
Like a song on a wave
From across the sea
Like a vaguely familiar word

The ring of fire won’t discourage me
Though the earth moved under my feet
The day that we touched
And now, I’m here with you
But now, I’m wanting to
Get back to my home and the ones
I miss so much

[Chorus:]
Midnight, midnight in Tokyo
Where the neon lights the land of the rising sun
Midnight, oh midnight I must go
But one day I’ll return if you’ll only wait for me

In each place I can feel the warmth of you
In your face I can see that you’re strong
And respect is what I’ve learned from you
When I’m gone, it won’t be for long

I ride the bullet through the heart of you
Though the winds will blow
And the rain will fall when I’m gone
But now, I’m here with you
And now, I’m wanting to get back to my home
And the ones who miss me so much

[Chorus]


5. BREAKING AWAY

A promise weakened by the hands of time
Honest, I meant it when I said be mine
Eternal love was a dream
I hoped we could share
I could be wrong
But it seems love that's strong just ain'there

I'm coming into myself
It may leave you far behind
I'm changing my world

[Chorus:]
Breaking away
And it's breaking your heart
Breaking away
And it's breaking your heart

Sorry is something I don’t want to say
Heartache with no one to blame
Living a lie could be our mistake
I can’t deny love’s a feeling I just won’t fake

I’m coming into myself
It may leave you far behind
I’m changing my world, and

[Chorus]

Baby, I never wanted to hurt you
I know you’re confused
Well, baby I am too
If the feeling we share could be less than true

Then let’s not deny the love you and I had
is through

I’m coming into myself
It may leave you far behind
I’m changing my world

[Chorus]


6. HANG 'EM HIGH

Walk like a warrior through the shadows of
the night
Shatter the silence with our screams
Like a tiger, move in for the kill
We’re gonna get what we need

We stand together, feel it closing in
Electric shock through our veins
Power of numbers cannot be denied
Let’s stand up and show how we feel

[Chorus:]
Hang ‘em high
Band together
Hang ‘em high
Through the night
Hang ‘em high
Band together
And we always will survive
Reach for the sky

Soldier of fortune, always on the run
Your enemy lies within
You must escape from the shackles in your
mind
Stand like a warrior and win

Join our ranks, there ain’t no losers here
As long as we never divide
We are a force so strong we never have to
run
Let’s stand up and show how we feel

[Chorus]

Walk like a warrior through the shadows of
the night
Shatter the silence with our screams
Power of numbers cannot be denied
Let’s stand up and show how we feel

[Chorus]

7. TAKE YOU TO THE LIMIT

Credit card in her black pursette
Gold and diamonds, only the best
With a quarter time walk, make you bite
your lip

Melts me with the rhythm, that’s so
tragically hip
I love the way she moves the room
And caught the breath of her perfume
It whispers, “I'll be there soon”
To make you, take you

[Chorus:]
Take you to the limit
Going over the top
Gonna take you to the limit
Ain’t never gonna stop

Says her sugar daddy’s not at home
She took me there so we could be alone
My thoughts were racing with a burning
desire

My blood was boiling and my heart was on fire

Her eyes smiled as she touched my hand
It was a language I could understand
And then she whispered by the baby grand,
Take me, make me

[Chorus]

Oh baby...
Don’t you ever stop
Oh, honey
You take me to the top

Oh, you got me anytime you want me baby
I love the way she moved the room
And caught the breath of her perfume
It still whispers, “I'll be there soon”
To make you, take you

[Chorus]


8. SENTIMENTAL FOOL

I’ve seen this movie once before
Story of another broken heart
Can’t play the same old part again
I’m left empty
Looks like we nearly reached the end

[Chorus:]
Sentimental fool
You know you didn’t do me right
Sentimental fool
Now you’ve got to pay the price

How did you think that we could last?
With expectations of an old romance?
You had to risk our love on sentiments
But this time don’t come running back to me
You’ll be a memory

[Chorus]

Sentimental fool
You know you didn’t do me right
Sentimental fool
Was it worth the sacrifice?
Sentimental fool
Now you’ve got to pay the price
Sentimental fool
Can’t play that same old part again


9. DOWN AND DIRTY


It’s a Friday night and you can feel the itch coming
You wanna blast out of hell
Like a throttle wide open on a 747
Drain every drop in the well
Don’t care about money
Don’t care what they say
Don’t care about nothing
I only just want to play, and

[Chorus:]
Gettin’ down and dirty
You can feel it in the air
We’re getting down and dirty
Everybody’s gonna be there

I’m not talking about trouble
I’m talking about some energy
Think I’m gonna need a double
To keep up with the rest of me

All the girls walking by
Oh, they’re looking so fine
Even though they got their nose in the air
And I wanna be there
When the steam starts to rise
And you’re dripping wet
You don’t care

[Chorus]

Don’t care about money
Don’t care what they say
Don’t care about nothing
I only just want to play, and

[Chorus]
