All these broken dreams
Have made me see
That I'm strung out, somebody rescue me
Well, do I have to tell you that I love you
Do I have to tell you that I care
Do I have to tell you that I need you to be there

Cos in the middle of the night
When I`m much too weak to fight
You know you're such a welcome sight
In the middle of the night
Yeah

On the boulevard of broken dreams
Yeah I talk so bad and I act so mean
On the boulevard of broken dreams
I gotta get back on my feet

And was it only yesterday
You came my way
Or was it just a while ago

And do I have to tell you you're my lover
Do I have to tell you I'm your slave
And so we have to dance until you`re dancing
On my grave

And my lips are turning white
And my jaw is getting tight
And the sun is burning bright
In the middle of the night
Yeah

On the boulevard of broken dreams
She'll eat your heart and she'll eat your face
On the boulevard of broken dreams
And I gotta get back on my feet

Do I have to tell you that I need you
Do I have to show you that I care
Do I have to lie and steal to have you
Do I have to sell myself somewhere
Then we can dance all night together
You'll be my queen I'll be your slave
And we can stay awake forever
Until we're dancing on my grave

On the boulevard of broken dreams...
Boulevard of broken dreams...


. . .


I'm heading right to nowhere, 'Cos nowhere's where I'm from
I just passed your trail, Here and today, you were lucky to be in my way
Bring me wine women and whiskey, I'll chase it all down with rum
Once you're turned on, I'll be long gone, 'Cos the road I'm on is endless and long
I'm the rebel on the run, my baby, Rebel on the run, my girl Got you under my gun
My future's buried behind me, I've only got my guns to guide me
Maybe to heaven, maybe to hell, I tell you, only the time will tell
Got you under my gun, my gun, Don't ask what I search for
You never should of an outlaw, I'm a refugee and I always will be
'Til I find what I once lost in me, I've spent my life rambling
made myliving out of gambling, May sound romantic, but it's bitter and tragic
Dead or alive for any prize, I said dead or alive into the night
I have to race the time to find what's lost inside me

. . .


now, she's fast, she's bad and she's Italian, she makes 100 miles per hour, oh yeah
as we cross the city lights, she takes me higher, she's the hottest one i've ever had, she's just like fire
she rocks around the clock, her motor never stops, till the sun comes up yeah
her engine cries all night with passion and desire, so you turn her on and refuel her with fire
she's got me in a trance, and i'm just getting higher
oil and gasoline, oil and gasoline, that's all she needs to give me head
oil and gasoline, oil and gasoline, to keep our love burning bright, all through the night
oil and gasoline, oil and gasoline, thats all she needs to take her through the night
oil and gasoline, oil and gasoline, to keep her engine burning bright
oil and gasoline, oil and gasoline, she's fast, she's bad, oh yeah
she takes me everywhere i've never been, she shows me things i've never seen
never last, she's so fast, oh, let us pass, oh baby, we're just
lovers on the highway, lovers on the highway
oil and gasoline, she loves oil and gasoline, oil and gasoline, loves oil and gasoline
she loves oil and gasoline, she wants oil and gasoline, yeah
oil and gasoline, oil and gasoline

. . .


I went from London to Paris and then All the way to Bombay, yeah
And strange things would happen to me every day
One night I went out dancing, in a beer barrel by the bay
Kids were dancing in a strange new way
They sang, what we want we can't get, So we just try to forget
It's a mean old world, And we need something to get away with
We get the shakes, shakes, 'til all is a blur
We get the shakes, shakes, our brains in a whirl
Every boy and girl is shaking around the world
Now I'm a shaking missionary, Got to get my message through, yeah
Whatever it takes I'm gonna give them, shakes to all of you
You'll be shaking in Detroit city, and on the beach of Waikiki
I'm gonna drive you nuts, 'til you're shaking your butts, along with me
'Cos what you want you can't get, So you must try to forget
Well it's a mean old world, And you need something to get away with
You got to shake, shake, 'til all is a blur
You got to shake, shake, Your brain is a whirl
Every boy and girl is shaking around the world

. . .



I wanna stay in the sun,
I gotta have my fun,
When the work is done
down The Malibu Beach

And when the winter is gone,
I won't stay for long,
Just turn the radio on
down The Malibu Beach

I'll find a sweet, sweet girl,
A sea pearl,
She'll make me burn that naughty girl
I'll find a skinhead girl,
That Brixton Pearl
Ooh down the Malibu Beach

Gonna take a holiday down Malibu Beach...
That's what I'll do!


. . .



I'm in a problem, can't find a solution
Problem, give me the solution,Problem, I'm causing confusion, Problem
Energy pushing in my blood,I could kill myself but I haven't got the guts,Oh no
Well it's a Saturday night,I got nothin' to lose,
I'm all out of money,I'm all out of booze
I'm walking down the street, I'm in the need of blues
Problem child, and I'm wild, I'm in the need to break all the rules
I'm in a problem, problem, problem, problem , problem, problem, problem child, yeah


. . .



So many things that mean a lot, So many things that I never got, You can look boy,
but you can't touch, What I don't have seems to mean so much
A beat up Chevy or Mercedes Benz
Should make no difference in the end
But I get mad, baby real upset
'Cos what I want I can never get
They're just like cattle walking down the street
Some get so fat while others never eat
I may be shut out but I ain't finished yet
My mind is blank I take another drink
I'm not destroyed but I'm right on the brink
I sit and count them shot by shot
The little things that I never got
Those uptown ladies on 5th Avenue
It's like I hate them but I want them too
I may be shut out but I ain't finished yet
I don't get it, I don't get it at all
I don't get it, I don't get it at all
Why I can't get it, Why it's a thing I'll never get
Why I can't get it, Why it's a thing I'll never get
A yacht and a Rolls and a private jet, A dirty blonde in a red Corvette
Wife and kids and a house and a pet, Those are the things that I can't get


. . .


Ok! If you wanna do the duck, Forget everything about rock, Suck the duck, That's right
Do it step by step, day by day, The way I say go all the way, Doing the duck, right!
Do it on the streets to the big beat, of the Hanoi Rocks, Mike Monroe is now going to show you how to do the duck
Our point is that you can suck the duck, Something new, I never knew, Something new, I never heard of
You got to shake your legs, clap your hands, stamp your feet, Until you feel heavy, You got to move your lips
shake your hips, touch your tits, Until you feel heavy, It's something new, and it sure looks cool
It's something new, and it sounds good too, Just move fast, shake your ass, smoke your stash, Until you feel heavy
You got to do the duck, Until you feel heavy, The weekend's over, you're getting sober
You take a shower and you start all over, You do the duck, you do the duck, You do the duck, you do the duck
You do the duck, you do the duck, You do the duck, you do the duck
Do it step by step, day by day, The way I say, when I tell you to do it, do it, Do it baby, baby
Do it, do it, do the duck, All right, let's rock on doing the duck, Suck the duck, suck the duck, Donald Duck
Take your first leg to right, walk on two, All right

. . .


Well, I have to move in order to groove, I wanna dance, prance step by step now
On the move, Put on my blue suede shoes and dance to this blues
I'm only two steps from the move, now
I'm two steps from the move, I'm two steps from the move, I'm two steps from the move
I keep the nation under a groove
Tryin' to cool down is no use, So I float right down the road
I close the door and it grows and it grows
So I go, I say bye, bye, On the move

. . .


I'm gonna take a ride on a magic carpet, gonna fly back to you
I'm travelling in time through black and stormy skies
My mission is a mystery, I'm recreating history
I'm following the stars across the misty hills and the sea
Its a long way into your heart, when a million miles keep us apart
I'm on the edge of ecstacy, my carpet is my dream mobile
I do it over, do it over, do it over, one more time
And i make it better, make it better, make it better, day by day
When the paradise is burning, the heaven comes tumbling down...on me
My carpet is my deam mobile, it takes me away, takes me away
No-one's seen what I have seen and no ones been where I have been
I do it over, do it over, do it over, one more time
and I make it better, make it better, make it better, day by day
magic carpet ride, magic carpet ride, magic carpet ride

I do it over, do it over, do it over, one more time
And I make it better, make it better, make it better, day by day
Magic carpet ride, magic carpet ride
I'm on a magic carpet ride, magic carpet ride, magic carpet ride
I fly, I fly, I fly far away

. . .


Well I love you, I really do, And baby when I look at you
I know love is true, You know about my past
You know my habit, You know that love can't last
Until we've had it
I badly need it
You know about my past, You know my habit
You know that love can't last, Until we've had it
Well I love you, well I love you, Well I love you, well I love you
I love you

. . .



don't you ever leave me baby, don't you ever leave me now
don't you ever leave me baby, if you leave me you will kill me now
the lights are slowly going down, out on Times Avenue
and me, i'm all alone, watching the rain falling down on my face
a crowd of people passing by, i don't think they recognize me
they fade away into the night, thats when i think about you
don't you ever leave me baby, don't you ever leave me now
don't you ever leave me baby, if you leave me you will kill me now
i start living in the memory of you, i start living in the memory of you
i start living in the memory of you , and the memory of all them things
that you and me used to do, yeah, and there's one more thing i wanna tell you
i wanna tell you how much i really love you, and i really do
the lights are slowly going down, out on Times Avenue
and me, i'm all alone, watching the tears falling down on my face
a subway train is passing by, driving into the night
i jump inside cause i ain't got nowhere to sleep, that's when i think about you
don't you ever leave me baby, don't you ever leave me now
don't you ever leave me baby, if you leave me you will kill me now
i start living in the memory of you, i start living in the memory of you, i start living in the memory of you
and all them funny things, that you and me used to do
you remember, you remember all them things, that you and me used to do
don't forget, don't bloody never forget, don't you ever leave me baby
don't you ever leave me now, don't you ever leave me baby
if you leave me you will kill me now
i start living in the memory of you, i start living in the memory of you, i start living in the memory of you
and the sweet taste of your lips, and the sweet taste of your body
and the sweet taste of the lips between your legs


. . .



Beneath the streets, in the cars, on the trains, or in the underground, I'll be waiting
You can spare a dime, or you're gonna be mine and We're going dancing tonight
In the tunnels underground the subway rats run all around, and hungry
So come and hide, step inside, we're going on a midnight ride
On the subway underground it gets, a little rough, this ain't No tunnel of love
Hurricanes running through my veins, I know that You're lost and alone
And I feel no pain, In my sea of drains, In my my underwater world
Welcome to the ocean, Welcome to the sea, Welcome to the jungle, Deep inside of me
Sink or swim, you dive right in and you, Know this ain't no place to mess around in
In my swamp underground the quicksand slowly Sucks you down
Down here I call the shots, like it or not, What you got I'm getting, You have to come down to my slum
Well Welcome Chum, Now sit down and shut up
I lay you wide open, For all the world to see


. . .


Well I woke up screaming 'cos I heard, the telephone ringing
And I told myself that this must be, the end of the beginning
There must be a little more life somewhere else
I heard me saying myself, Take a little more time for feelings inside of your heart
And the crowd gets bigger as the world keeps rolling around
And around and around, Everywhere I go all the people there scream and shout
But somewhere there must be an end, There must be gates that no one can bend
So I'm taking my time making up my mind about our love
I'm willing to cross the ocean, I'm willing to break the ice
I'm willing to break emotions, To make things right
Make everything all right, Well I woke up screaming
I heard the telephone ringing, It was you, I tell you that I love you
I love you, I love you, my baby
I'm willing to climb the mountain, And dive into the deepest sea
I'm willing to give a chance for something real, I'm willing to cross the ocean
I'm willing to break the ice, I'm willing to break emotions
To make things right, to make things right

. . .


In the year '79

Well, it's '79 No '58

Anymore, no more
It's too late, much too late
Wham, bam, bam, bam
Anymore, no more
Wham, bam, bam, bam
