1. STREETS OF FREEDOM

You get up every morning to the same old song
But it's tearing you up inside
'Cos life means more to you
Than only just making it through

Feeling like you're caught in a prison cell
Once you're in, there's no way out
You're doing time, what's your crime
It’s burning in the back of your mind

You start to dream about running away
And leaving it all behind
You just pack your bags and go
Do it now or you'll never know

Ride the streets of freedom, its time to do or die
You can't stop believing, you just say goodbye
Ride the streets of freedom, ride the streets of freedom

You can barely make it through the week
You're just working but you’ll never see
Just what it means to live
For the things you’ve had to give

Streets are crazy, but you don’t mind
Cos you’ve seen them all before
So was it just a dream
Now you know what your life can mean

The road has got you hypnotised
And you're feeling like you've never felt before
Hold on, just one more time
And I know you'll be alright ... alright


2. THE STROKE

Now everybody - have you heard
If you're in the game, then the stroke's the word
Don't take no rhythm - don't take no style
Got a thirst for killin' - grab your vile..

You put your right hand out... give a firm handshake..
Talk to me about that one big break..
Spread your ear - pollution both far and wide...
Keep your contributions by your side and
Stroke me, stroke me-

Could be a winner boy, you move quite well...
You got your number down...
Say you're a winner - man you're just a sinner now

You put your left foot out: keep it all in place
Work your way right into my case
First you try to bed me - you make my backbone slide...
But when you find you bled me - skip on by...
Keep on - stroke me, stroke me -

Give me the business all night long...
You’re so together boy...
Say you're a winner but man you're just a sinner now

Better listen now...(said) I ain't no joke
Let your conscience fail ya... just do the stroke
Don'tcha take no chances… keep your eye on top...
Your fancy dances... you can't stop, you just
Stroke me, stroke me...


3. DIRTY LOVE

You walked up, dangerous smile, hungry like a crocodile
You’ve got the devil in your eyes
I was taken by the sheer surprise

You eat my body, eat my soul
Don’t tell me that I'm losing control
You tried to kill me, with one bite
Man, I can’t believe we're doing it right

But such a good time, all I've got to do is survive
Always a good time … baby, baby. baby

Bang on your dirty love, every night but it's not enough
Te11 me honey, do you like it rough?
Just bang on your dirty love

I was good, you were bad
You were the best time that I ever had
But now it’s late, I’ve got to go
You make it harder than you’ll ever know

Had a good time, maybe we can do it again
Such a good time … baby, baby, baby

Bang on – no matter where we’re going
Gonna keep on bangin’
Bang on – caught up in your dirty love


4. RIVERS OF GLORY

Feeling lonely, it's desperation,
I've got nobody, only one place to go
Down to the rivers of glory
Surrounded, but I'm still alone

There are faces, I still remember
All the times, that I hoped for more
Down to the rivers of glory
Will I ever know for sure ... you keep saying

Give me your heart tonight
I need someone to talk to, someone to fill my life
Give me your heart tonight
Don't tell me that you love me, 'cos it hurts me inside

Home is always where your heart is
You smile and laugh, but you don't understand
Down to the rivers of glory
And I can't turn this boat around … so baby, baby

I tried to swim against the stream and leave it all behind
Had to fight the pain inside, but it got me every time


5. HOME BABE

I close my eyes and I drink illusions
And sometimes I fade into a dream
You know, I can't wake up from this confusion
The empty bottle and the empty bed, are all so real

Loving myself, seems to be the hardest part, yeah
Trying to fight that feeling, I wanna be there for you

Everything will be alright when you're home baby
You don’t know how I'm missing you, now you're gone
I've been praying every night
Just to have you back with me
All I want is to hold you in my arms, yeah

I thought I had it all together
Can't understand where I went wrong
So many people tried to tell me
Turn yourself around, 'cos you're throwing it all away

Needing you, seems to be my destiny
Feels like dying without you, set me free, yeah

Everything will be alright when you're home baby
You don’t know how I'm missing you, now you're gone
I've been praying every night
Just to have you back with me
All I want is to hold you in my arms, yeah


6. SHAKE DOWN

Heading down the freeway, just outside L.A.
I was coming back with a friend of mine
We'd been cruising 'round all day

We were just getting started to move
When the lights came down from behind

They never told what we had done
But we were lying on the ground
"What about our rights"? I said
He said "not here in this town" .

Shake down, with the gods that show no mercy
Shake down, somebody called the devil
And he's got the gun

People just kept on driving, like it happened every day
Sweat and blood running down my face
But there was nothing I could say

We couldn’t move, we were scared to death
But we were doing what we could
Going down somebody said
Another night in Hollywood

I never knew crime was so exciting
TV cops and movie stars
Don’t you think it’s gone too far?

Shake down, with the gods that show no mercy
Shake down, somebody called the devil
And he's got the gun


7. HOLD YOU

Turn your head, walk away
But deep inside you really want to stay
Are you ready … Love is gonna get you
Every night, you make the scene
But you won't tell me what you really need
Are you ready, Love is gonna get you

Falling in love ain't no crime (love's no crime )
I'll just keep believing

That I'm gonna hold you and love you
Never gonna let you go now baby
Hold you and love you through the night
Just let your heart surrender
Hold you and love you every night

Take my hand, feel the heat
Can't you see that it's you I need
Are you ready … Love is gonna get you

If you close your eyes you can see the light
I got a certain feeling that the time is right
Are you ready ... Love is gonna get you

If you could just give it a try (just give it a try)
And I could start believing

That I'm gonna hold you and love you
Never gonna let you go now baby
Hold you and love you through the night
Just let your heart surrender
Hold you and love you every night


8. DOWN AND OUT

I come home and I find you gone, walk up the stairs
And you're lying in another man's arms

You woke me up in the middle of a dream,
I always thought that this would never happen to me

This heart, shot down, like a bullet without a sound
Jump back, outta my way

Down and out, 'cos my heart's on fire
But I'm still not burning
Down and out, and you know I'm coming back again
Down and out, life goes on and the world keeps turning
Down and out, and you know I'm coming back to win

Sweet talk, try to justify, I know by now
That your love was only a lie

I'm coming back, gonna take control
Put the money on the table
‘Cos my heart has taken it’s toll

You make love, it's my turn,
You can feel it when it starts to burn
This time, you're on your own

Down and out, 'cos my heart's on fire
But I'm still not burning
Down and out, and you know I'm coming back again
Down and out, life goes on and the world keeps turning
Down and out, and you know I'm coming back to win


9. TAKE ME HEART AND RUN

Tears fall like rain, can't you see them
They keep me from closing my eyes
Wounds always heal, though they're bleeding
Sometimes we just need to cry

Don’t tell me you're leaving, don’t call it destiny
Desperate sometimes, but now I've found my paradise

Take my heart and run, 'till the end of time
Love's forever young in this heart of mine
I don’t know – where we're going
But I put my faith in you - just take my heart and run

Love's not a game of denial
You're playing for keeps everytime
I keep on thinking it's my turn
And you're gonna tell me you're mine

To wake up alone, it can't be right
You played the game, I paid the price
Desperate sometimes, but now we've found our paradise


10. ALL WE GOT

Don't slow down, life's illusion
It's getting harder, every day for me to see
Don't slow down, my confusion
‘Cos I can twist and turn ‘till finally I’m free

Heaven or hell, we ride on time (ride on time)
Down this never ending road, oh yeah

All we've got, is all we need
Love's come and rescued me
All we've got, is all we need
Somebody has finally set me free

Turn it on, just the good times
I can walk up to the edge and still look down
Turn it on, in your own mind
‘Cos our life is something we can turn around
What we need is what we’ve got, today

Straight ahead this time, we’ll stay close together
Now we’ll make it last forever, oh oh


11. FIGHT FOR LOVE

I remember the winters when time, it just stood still
Making love by the fireside, God it felt so real
And I still feel it burning, when I look into your eyes
Time was all we had to waste and I never wondered why

I remember the summers, and the never-ending nights
We drove around forever and ever, knowing it was right
But sometimes we could see, into the eye of the hurricane
It’s love and pain, it's one and the same

Every single little breath we took, was full of emotion
No matter what they say, we'll never walk away

For love, we'll always fight for love
No you'll never have to cry
No we'll never say goodbye
For love, we'll always fight for our love
Like a light into the darkness, I will show you
I will show you how

I remember the springtime, we were kids and playing
Growing older and so much bolder, we couldn't get enough
We always took for granted, that everything
Would turn out right
But dreams were not enough this time
This time we had to fight

Every side little time we kissed, was more than a promise
That we'll take each other's hand
And we'll make the final stand

How to find the way, oh, oh,
We're fighting, fighting for love
