I FINALLY FOUND THE FACE THE FROWN
THE FUN OF FAME I'M WEARING A CROWN
I SAW MYSELF IN THE STATE OF MAIN
MY NAME IN LIGHTS BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME…

WELL WE RODE THROUGH THE LAND IN OUR SLICK GREEN VAN
WAITING FOR THE MAN TO GIVE US A HAND
THE CABBIES DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE COMING FROM
IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG I DON'T CARE
WE'RE SO STRONG

COS IT'S HARD AT THE TOP
BUT IT'S HARDER AT THE BOTTOM
AND IT'S NOBODY'S FAULT
IF YOU'RE SCARED OF SHOUTING
DOO, DOO, DOO, DOO, DOO, DOO, DOO, DOO ,DOO

I WAS SCARED AND SCARRED BARE AND BARRED
COS LIFE AT THE TOP WELL IT AIN'T SO HARD
IN A HOTEL ROOM I FACE THE GLOOM
BUT THE BAD OLD DAYS DIDN'T GO TOO SOON

NOW IT'S JET LAG RED FLAG HERE AND THERE
THE HAND THAT HE LENDS WELL IT AIN'T SO FAIR
NOW WE'RE OVER THE RAIN IN OUR SLICK GREEN PLANE
WITH OUR NAME IN LIGHTS AND IT'S STILL THE SAME…

HARD AT THE TOP
BUT IT'S HARDER AT THE BOTTOM
AND IT'S NOBODY'S FAULT
IF YOU'RE SCARED OF SHOUTING
DOO, DOO, DOO, DOO, DOO, DOO, DOO, DOO ,DOO, YEAH!
HARD AT THE TOP
HARD AT THE TOP HARDER AT THE BOTTOM
HARD AT THE TOP…

ON THE STREET

Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp.


SHE GOTTA DOWNTOWN RESIDENTIAL APARTMENT
SIX GUN IN HER BAG
A LADY-IN-WAITING TO CONTROL IT
BUT IT AIN'T SO BAD

SHE GOTTA BIG BOY EYES IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD
DON'T GIVE A FEATHER OR FIG
HE TAKES GOOD CARE OF HIS NIGHT STREETWALKERS
DRINKS WHISKY WITH ICE

I KNOW THAT IT AIN'T TOO EASY WHEN YOU'RE ON THE STREET
ALL KINDS OF CHARACTERS THAT YOU MEET

SHE GOT INSULATION FOR THE NEIGHBOURS
THE NOISE IS SO BAD
HER MAN KEEPS SUCH CORRECT ACCOUNTS OF
THE CUSTOMERS SHE'S HAD

SHE GETTA WEEKLY REGULAR INCOME FOR
THE SERVICE THAT SHE GIVES
THE LIFE SHE LEADS IS SO UNLIKE THE LIFE THAT SHE LIVES

I KNOW THAT IT AIN'T TOO EASY WHEN YOU'RE ON THE STREET
ALL KINDS OF CHARACTERS THAT YOU MEET

SITUATION'S OUTTA CONTROL
Waller/Holton/Peyronel/Boyce/Thomas


I'M JUST SITTING ON MY OWN
A INCH OF DUST ON THE TELEPHONE
I USED TO LIKE HER BUT IT'S ALL GONE WRONG
SITUATION'S OUTTA CONTROL

AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON MY OWN
A MAN NEEDS A WOMAN TO SING HIS SONG
I REALLY LOVED YA BUT IT DIDN'T LAST TOO LONG

SITUATION'S OUTTA CONTROL
SITUATION'S OUTTA CONTROL

I MET A WOMAN WHO TALKED LIKE A MAN
SHE TREATED ME LIKE I WAS MADE IN JAPAN
BUT I DON'T LIKE THAT
SITUATION'S OUTTA CONTROL

SOMEONE'S CLEANED THE TELEPHONE
NOW I WISH I WAS ALONE
I NEED A LADY BUT I GOT THE WRONG ONE

SITUATION'S OUTTA CONTROL
SITUATION'S OUTTA CONTROL
SITUATION'S OUTTA CONTROL
SITUATION'S OUTTA CONTROL
SITUATION'S OUTTA CONTROL
SITUATION'S OUTTA CONTROL...

MY MAMA AND MY PAPA TOOK ME OUT ONE NIGHT
THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD TAKE ME DANCING
SO I TOOK SOME DOLLS AND I STARTED TO ROLL MY EYES

BUT THE PEOPLE WERE JUST ROMANCING
THEY DID A DANCE CALLED THE FOXTROT ALL NIGHT LONG
BUT THERE WAS ONE THING WRONG…

I NEED OLD TIME BOOGIE TO ROCK MY SOUL
OLD TIME BOOGIE TO ROCK AND ROLL

BUT THE BAND PLAYED ON SEEMED LIKE ONE LONG SONG
COULDN'T GET MY OWN FEET MOVING
I PRAYED AND CRIED FOR A BACK BEAT FOR MY SPINE
COS I WAS FEELING FINE…

NOW PLAY ME OLD TIME BOOGIE TO ROCK MY SOUL
OLD TIME BOOGIE TO ROCK AND ROLL

WELL SO I STROLLED RIGHT ACROSS THE BALLROOM BORE
AND I ASKED THE BAND IF I COULD SING A LITTLE SONG

THE COPS ARE COMING
Waller/Holton/Peyronel/Boyce/Thomas
Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp.

WENT ALONG THE PALAIS ON A SATURDAY NIGHT
ME AND THE BOYS WE GOT INTO A FIGHT
A GUY PULLED A KNIFE WITH A GRIN ON HIS FACE
SAID WATCH OUT BOYS…

THE COPS ARE COMING
THE COPS ARE COMING
YOU'D BETTER LOCK YOUR DOOR IF YOU DON'T DIG JAIL

WELL I WAS WAITING IN A CHEMIST WITH A BRICK IN MY HAND
I NEEDED SOME PILLS TO MAKE ME FEEL GRAND
I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE THIS WINDOW MY LOT WHEN
(THERE WAS THE COPS…)

THE COPS ARE COMING
THE COPS ARE COMING
YOU'D BETTER LOCK YOUR DOOR IF YOU DON'T DIG JAIL

AS I APPROACHED THE FREEWAY ON THIS HOT AND SWEATY DAY
I SAW A YOUNG PIG FRESH FROM THE FARM
NOW I DID NOT WISH HIM ANY HARM BUT TO MY ALARM
HE SPAT ON MY BIKE
I NO LIKE
SO HE ON HIS TRIUMPH AND ME ON MY HARLEY
STARTED TO HAVE A LITTLE RONDULA
I TOOK HIS RIGHT FLANK WITH MY MACHINE-LIKE TANK
AND GAVE HIM A CHEESECAKE GRIN
I TOOK A CHAIN AND FELT IT WRAP AROUND HIS CHIN
AND HIS HEAD FELL OFF…

I MET A LITTLE GIRL SHE WAS BARELY THIRTEEN
ME AND THE BOYS WERE GOING TO GIVE HER A SCENE
I WAS SO ZAPPED GONNA GIVER HER MY LOT WHEN…

THE COPS ARE COMING
THE COPS ARE COMING
YOU'D BETTER LOCK YOUR DOOR IF YOU DON'T DIG JAIL

THE BIG FIRE

Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp.

THEY WERE EATING AT HOME
THEY WERE WALKING ALONE
THEY WERE WATCHING THE STONES ON THE VIDEO
ALL THE KIDS IN THE STREET
ALL THE PEOPLE YOU MEET
ALL THE FLOWERS AND BEADS…IN THE GUTTER…

YELLOW CABS ON THE RUN
NOONE CARRIES A GUN
FOLKS ARE HAVING SOME FUN AT A PARTY
SOMEONE LOVED AT FIRST SIGHT
TEACHER SAID IT WAS RIGHT
AND THEY DREAMED OF THE NIGHT…
THEY WERE DREAMING…

AND THE DAY CAME…AND THE DAY WAS NIGHT
AND THE SKY HAD GONE…AND THE GROUND WAS BRIGHT
THEN YOU HEARD THEM SHOUT…AND YOU HEARD THEM CRY

IT'S THE BIG FIRE, MY SOUL, IT'S THE BIG FIRE YES I KNOW
IT'S THE BIG FIRE, MY SOUL, IT'S THE BIG FIRE…

ALL THE TIME THAT IT TOOK
ALL THE BEST THINGS TO LOOK
ALL THE MUSIC AND SIGHT THEY WERE DRAININ'
WHEN IT CAME TO THE DAY
ALL THE SKIES THAT WERE GREY
WHEN THEY THOUGHT OF THE NIGHT…THEY WERE BURNIN'

AND THE DAY CAME…AND THE DAY WAS NIGHT
AND THE SKY HAD GONE…AND THE GROUND WAS BRIGHT
THEN YOU HEARD THEM SHOUT…AND YOU HEARD THEM CRY

IT'S THE BIG FIRE, MY SOUL, IT'S THE BIG FIRE I KNOW
IT'S THE BIG FIRE, MY SOUL, IT'S THE BIG FIRE…
