1. BACK TO THE DRIVE

East side, west side
Living on the best side
Doesn’t mean you can’t come with
From the north, the south
Whatever you’re about
I’ll give you a guarantee
You’ve still got more to give
Twenty-five years doesn’t make a lot of sense
If you‘re not out there rockin’ you’re just sitting on the fence
Throw away the pills
You won’t need them anymore
The limousine is waiting at your door

Chorus
Let’s go back, let’s go back
We’ll do the 48 collide
When we all go back to the drive
Let’s go back, let’s go back
We’ll take a roller coaster ride
And we all go back to the drive

The glitter, the glamour
The way we made it look
And then we learned to use it like a hook
And it was so true, me and you
We ha never looked better
And we had every little thing it took
Precious metal dripping off by the walls
Magazines whose stories made it crystal clear
Well that’s good but we always wanted more
The limousine is waiting at your door

Let’s go back …

[Chorus]

Let’s go back, let’s go back
We’ll get the best thing in live
When we all go back to the drive
Let’s go back, let’s go back

Some medication for the mind
If we all go back to the drive
We really lived every minute
If you could do it we did it
And now we’re gonna eat it up again
So let’s get ready
Yes we can be
Two pigs in a rock ‘n’ roll pen
We can’t sit around while they raise the rent
They’ll cut the tree
And then we’ll wonder where the cherries went
We’ll catch fire for an encore
The limousine is waiting at your door… let’s go back

Let’s go back…


2. FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME

Egos come and egos go on the stairway to success
Justifying our existence… puttin’ us to the test
We can all fail down, the mighty and tall
We can all… loose our crown
And the ones you hurt on the rocky road up
Trip you up… on the way back down

[Chorus]

15 minutes of fame, Andy Warhol used to say
15 minutes of fame then they steal your star away
Come on play the game, come shine a light down on me
Take a bow, this is now 15 minutes of fame

Money makes the world go round,
Our loss becomes their gain
Selfish fingers grab it all, greed is their domain
We can all want more… but diamonds and pearls
Are the needs of a lonely soul
And dreams you dream in your darkest hour
Are desires in control

[Chorus]
15 minutes of fame…


15 minutes is all you get…money and fame gonna get you yet
15 minutes is all you get…so get it while you can
15 minutes is all you get…money and fame and no regret
15 minutes is all you get…so get it while you can

15 minutes of fame…


3. DUALITY

Both of me, reality, tell the truth who do you see
Scratch the surface of my mind and you will find… duality
Take a trip to destiny, outta control, you’re hooked on me
Fate is fearless cruel plays kind, hey look behind, duality

[Chorus]
Flash burn touch the sky
Trick turn who am I
Wild child drink me slow
I’ll go to places you can’t go

Crash churn trash about
Quick learn spit me out
Wild child I’ll take the blow
Devils dance where angels go

Two minds, duality, that’s my reality, my sexuality, my duality

Break

Both of me who do you see, tell the truth, reality
Scratch the surface you will find, I’m in my mind, duality
My hopes my fears, my broken dream
Buried deep in the desert dust
Buried deep in that place called lust

[Chorus]
Flash burn touch the sky
Trick turn who am I
Wild child drink me slow
I’ll go to places you can’t go

Crash churn trash about
Quick learn spit me out
Wild child I’ll take the blow
Devils dance where angels go

Two minds, duality, that’s my reality, my sexuality, my duality

[Chorus]
Flash burn touch the sky
Trick turn who am I
Wild child drink me slow
I’ll go to places you can’t go

Crash churn trash about
Quick learn spit me out
Wild child I’ll take the blow
Devils dance where angels go

Two minds, duality, that’s my reality, my sexuality, my duality


4. I DON’T DO GENTLE

Why am I always sittin’ alone on a Saturday night
Why does everybody think I’m always getting’ ready to fight?
If you wanna get close to me
You gotta open up your eyes and see
That I gotta good heart but I’m a little misunderstood

[Chorus]
I don’t do gentle… I ain’t sentimental
No I don’t do gentle…but I’m pretty good company

Why am I sittin’ here by the phone waiting for you to call?
Well, I’m tellin’ ya something honey
Kinda funny that you bother at all
You know I ain’t sugar and spice
But ya still gotta treat me nice
If you wanna love me tender
Then you really gotta treat me right

[Chorus]
I don’t do gentle… I ain’t sentimental
No I don’t do gentle…but I’m pretty good company
That’s me

[Chorus]
I don’t do gentle… I ain’t sentimental
No I don’t do gentle…but I’m pretty good company


5. I’LL WALK THROUGH THE FIRE WITH YOU

[Chorus]
I’ll walk through the fire with you
I’ll dream every dream with you
I’ll look in your eyes, I’ll tell you no lies
I’ll live your desire with you
I’ll sing every song with you
I’ll right every wrong for you
Higher and higher, let’s dance on the wire
I’ll walk through the fire with you

It’s being to close, that keeps is so far apart
We get burned by each other’s light
But we share the same heart
Too many words, too many fights
Too many fears and sleepless nights

[Chorus]

The truth is too hard but you don’t like the game when I play
The truth is your heart what you want to hear
And I had to hurt you to say it
Are we so different are we the same
When push comes to shove
We’re both to blame

[Chorus]

It took so long to understand
And all you had to do was take my hand
And everything we say, makes me walk away
Don’t want to hear it now
But it’s gotta be said, and how
Let’s walk through the fire

[Chorus]


6. WASTED MOMENTS

Across a crowed room…strangers ignite
Electrical perfume…strangers in fight
On wings of love let’s fly away…into the night
The seeds of lust in bloom

We could have started something good
We should have started something, but we ended up with

[Chorus]
Wasted moments…wasted moments

As time is passing by… tic, ticking away
If only we could try, but what would we stay
I’ve played these words a thousand times, day after day
And now it’s time to fly away

[Chorus]

Across the crowed floor, into your arms
You’re reaching out of for more, ha,dubious charms
Face to face and eyes to eye
You said hello…but I just say goodbye


7. ROCKIN’ IN THE FREE WORLD
[Keep On Rockin' In The Free World]

There's colours on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign
On the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
We’d be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan,
But I am to them
So I try to forget it,
Any way I can.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
And she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
And what she's done to it
There's one more kid
That will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
Never get to be cool.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores
And toilet paper
Got Styrofoam boxes
For the ozone layer
Got a man of the people,
Says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn,
Got roads to drive.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.


8. NO CHOICE

A painted portrait on a wall, stolen moments in a hall
Conversation no one heard…inspiration with no words
Where lightning strikes is no one’s guess
You rocked my world with your caress
And winds of change are bound to blow,
As cupid fires his fatal arrow
And if I can believe in déjà vu, and love at the first sight
Then you can you

I need to know, can this be real, when hearts deny
What they can’t reveal
How could I know, sweet words betray, cuz once I tell
You simply turned and walked away

[Chorus]
No choice, who can say, whose life is it anyway?
No choice, your voice, say goodbye to yesterday
Two can play that game, every move you make
I’ll give it back to you
No choice, who can say, whose life is it anyway?
My choice, my voice, time to do it my way
It’s my life, I’m gonna fight till the fight is through

As a camera’s rolled we played the game,
And felt lust’s heat ignite this flame
A crowed room, empty and still, silent vows we must fulfil
Like children caught up in the play, our defences fall away
All exposed the deed is done, a lovers dance has now begin
Yes it’s never too late to take a chance,
Cuz life is not live without romance

I need to know, can this be real, when hearts deny,
What they can’t reveal
How could I know, sweet words betray, cuz once fell
You simply turned and walked away

[Chorus] (repeat x1)
No choice, who can say, whose life is it anyway?
No choice, your voice, say goodbye to yesterday
Two can play that game, every move you make
I’ll give it back to you
No choice, who can say, whose life is it anyway?
My choice, my voice, time to do it my way
It’s my life, I’m gonna fight till the fight is through
It’s my life
It’s my life

Break


9. SOMETIMES LOVE IS LETTING GO

My mama always told me, if you truly love someone, don’t
Hold too tight, sometimes love is letting go
Sometimes love is letting go
You’ve fallen hard…event though
He shows you nothing…in return
But you still give everything
Cuz you’ve yet to learn
That if he’s yours, one day he’ll know

You know my dad always told me, that men don’t show their feelings easy, so I said, hey dad, the times I’ve seen you cry
Have been the most precious to me sometimes IS letting go

Sometime love…is letting go
And when you’re scared
Scared to let love show
And so afraid, your heart will break
Just let it happen, for your hearts sake
Sweet emotion you got to let it show
Sometimes love…is letting go

And when I finally grew up, I fell in love, but it didn’t last, we
Just didn’t belong together anymore, and I had to be strong
And say to myself, hey girl, sometimes love is letting go

Sometimes love…is letting go
We were flying high…now I’m lying low
In your arms like a stranger…you feel so cold
The truth is plain…but rarely told
You gotta stop saying yes, when you mean no
And if he’s yours…one day he’ll know
Sweet emotion you got to let it show
Sometimes love…is letting go


10. DANCING IN THE WIND

In your glass menangerie you hide
You can’t face the day kinda dead inside
Down again from your ego high and mighty
Where illusion plays in between the lies
And you can look so vain with your snakeskin eyes
Anethatising, moralising to survive
Oh oh oh, ain’t life funny

All the critics bite and the cameras flash
The wolves are hungry for you to crash
Picking on every single word you say
They try to put you down your still taking free
You won’t show your vulnerability
Oh oh oh, ain’t it funny
How a little too much of truth can get you down

[Chorus]
And it’s so damn lonely in a world so phoney
Where the cheaters never know they’ve sinned
Will your wings keep flying through the lost horizon
Has your spirit gone dancing in the wind

Shiny suit and tie life’s a compromise
The lion roars as the jungle cries
Fools you’ve suffered, damn them all to hell
As the games exposed they can feel your sting
They just don’t understand, you’ve taken everything
Oh oh oh ain’t it funny
How reality creeps in without a sound

[Chorus]


11. FREE THE BUTTERFLY

One kiss for yesterday, one hope for tomorrow
Face to face with sorrow, with noting left to say
One more love affair dead and gone
Two weary contenders, moving on
Will the snake shed its skin, when the truth rushes in

[Chorus]
So let the chrysalis begin, free the butterfly within spread my wings, I wanna fly
Let my happiness begin…free the butterfly within
Spread my wings, I just go to try
Free this butterfly, free…………..this butterfly

Precious moments we can’t forget, a promise forever
Yes, we know that’s it’s over, my heart has no regrets
Cuz the love we shared has flown away
Although I’m beside you, every day
We shared the best, now it’s time to put this pain to rest

[Chorus]

The snake sheds its skin…truth rushes in…
I start to cry…this is goodbye…free…

[Chorus]


12. BORN MAKING NOISE

I got the toughest little act in this goddamn town
I got the meanest little mouth for miles aoround
Make no mistake about it, I ain’t no shrinkin’ violet ah ah
No need to contemplate it, just don’t you underrate it
You can’t intimidate it, this little lady loves life

[Chorus]
I was born makin’ noise…I may be a girl but I’m one of the boys
I was born makin’ noise, ain’t nobody gonna put me down

I got the sweetest little smile in this neighbourhood, yes I do
Killer eyes that vaporises, I’m bad when I’m good
Don’t you debate about it, you want it….I got it ah ah
No need to criticize it, no need to analyze it
But can you fantasize it, this leather lady loves life

[Chorus]
I was born makin’ noise…I may be a girl but I’m one of the boys
I was born makin’ noise, ain’t nobody gonna put me down
Ain’t nobody gonna put me down

Well, I’m the toughest little chick…don’t you make me mad
I got the meanest little mouth, I’m good when I’m bad
Make no mistake about it, I ain’t no shrinkin’ violet ah ah
Don’t try to keep me quiet, I’m loud I can’t deny it
It’s time to start a riot, this leather lady loves life

[Chorus]
I was born makin’ noise…I may be a girl but I’m one of the boys
I was born makin’ noise, ain’t nobody gonna put me down
I was born makin’ noise…I may be a girl but I’m one of the boys
I was born making noise
Ain’t nobody, ain’t nobody, ain’t nobody gonna put me down

I was born makin’ noise…makin’ noise with the boys

Don’t you forget about it, I ain’t no shrinkin’ violet
No way to keep me quiet, I’m loud I can’t deny it
