1. STRONG ARM OF THE LAW

I was listening to the music on the radio
I had a feeling that something's not right

The music was loud, we could still hear the crowd
From the gig that we played that night

We pulled into a motorway restaurant
Stopped a while and fooled around

Oh, i still had a feeling that something's not right
As we started out homeward bound

Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law

Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law

Into the night came a blue flashing light
A blast from the siren to make sure

That we came to a stop behind the motorway cop
Who'd been trailing us for more than an hour

He pulled us out of the car at the side of the road
He questioned us one at a time

Where is the gear that we know that you use
We said the only speed we use is our car

Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law

Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law

You should've seen the stupid smirk drop from his face
It was a negative exercise

The way that we dress and the things that we do
They thought it was an easy bust

I was listening to the music on the radio
I had a feeling that something's not right

The music was loud, we could still hear the crowd
From the gig that we played that night

Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law

Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law

Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law

Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law

Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law

Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law

Stop! get out!


2. TAKING YOUR CHANCES

I know that it's cold
Well don't stand outside my door

I told you before
I don't want you anymore

Changed all the locks
And took away your key

I don't care where you go
But just stay away from me

I can't stand it
I don't need it

I don't want you
I can't trust you

Taking your chances
In the world outside

Taking your chances
In the world outside

Taken all that i had
But you still come back for more

It's the end of the line for me
And that's for sure

But i know that you're proud
That you cut me to the bone

That it's better for you if you go
And you don't stay home

I can't stand it
I don't need it

I don't want you
I can't trust you

Taking your chances
In the world outside

Taking your chances
In the world outside

I know that it's cold
But don't hang around my door

I'm packing your bags
You don't live here anymore

It's the end of the line for me
And that's for sure

I don't care where you go
But just keep away from here

I can't stand it
I don't need it

I don't want you
I can't trust you

Taking your chances
In the world outside

Taking your chances
In the world outside
Taking your..
