Ah Ah...

So tired of ya lyin'
Take it as it comes
you've bin hanging round all weekend
I'm not the only one
If we don't f**k you then someone else will

You F**k me in the kitchen
You f**k me in the hall
When your in the dressing room
You f**k any one at all
If we don't f**k you then someone else will

At the 3rd stroke
It'll be 5
52
spacemen
Watchout !

So tired of ya lyin'
Take it as it comes
you've bin hanging round all weekend
Now i'm not the only one
If we don't f**k you then someone else will

. . .


You're a heterosexual dream
A super phallic machine
Well, who do you think you are
Well, you think you're a star
Yeah, a rock'n roll star, you are

Oh, you part your lips that way
Do you care what people say
The chicks know what you are
Well, they think you're a star
Yeah, a rock and roll star, you are

Rock'n roll
You're rock'n roll queen
Don't you know what I mean
Oh, you know
You're a rock'n roll queen
A young man's dream

Given guitar's head
In a silver stream of red
Has it gone too far
Then you know you're a star
Yeah, a real superstar, you are

Rock'n roll
You're rock'n roll queen
Don't you know what I mean
Oh, you know
You're a rock'n roll queen
A young man's dream

Rock'n roll
You're rock'n roll queen
Don't you know what I mean
Oh, you know
You're a rock'n roll queen
A young man's dream

You're a heterosexual dream
A super phallic machine
Who do you think you are
Well, you think you're a star
Yeah, a rock'n roll star, you are

Scott/Tucker/Priest/Connolly

Mighty fine woman
Need her by my side
So I can rock and roll it
I can feel my pride

I gotta find a chicken
Gotta make up to
But I ain't no telling Sally
That I'm feeling blue

Don't let go
'Cause ya got me going
You're moving fast
And there ain't no slowin' you
I need a lot of lovin'
Gonna have a lot of lovin'
Need a lot of lovin' tonight

Early in the morning
'To the middle of the night
Gonna rock it to the rhythm
Of the early morning light

With my baby boogalooin'
And the feeling's getting strong
Gonna keep it in the move
Until the darkness come along

Don't let go
'Cause ya got me going
You're moving fast
And there ain't no slowin' you
I need a lot of lovin'
Gonna have a lot of lovin'
Need a lot of lovin' tonight

Mighty fine woman
Need her by my side
So I can rock and roll it
I can feel my pride...

. . .


Connolly/Priest/Scott/Tucker

I woke up this morning
My girl was not inside
Not inside my billfold
She's done me wrong allright
We've been all night a rockin'
At the house of blue night
Ah, ah, ah...

The band was really groovin'
With the shades of Jerry Lee
Somehow jiving, yeah she was taking me
Now she's gone and left me
Oh, baby let it be
Ah, ah, ah...

I didn't understand her
You know I mean her scene
Sleeps around for money
Or kick's that's twice as mean
But if I cross with her again
She'll find that I'm not green
Ah, ah, ah...

This woman's a hooker
I can't stand her
She's doing me wrong
This woman's a hooker...

. . .


Take me up when I fell down
you're like the sunshine in the sky
You are fine to have around
It's plain to see, I'm satisfied
People say, you're not good to me
you're not wrong for loving me
Don't lay me down
Kind of things that in my life
no one knows but you can guess
my goal in life's to meet the rainbow
Seems like things are never there
People say, you're not good to me
you're not wrong for loving me
Don't lay me down
Doo di doo doo di doo ...
Take me up when I fell down
you're like the sunshine in the sky
You are fine to have around
It's plain to see, I'm satisfied

. . .

The Man With The Golden Arm

[No lyrics]

. . .


So you think you'll take another piece of me
To satisfy your intellectual needs
Do you want action?
Gonna bring you down 'cos you've been pushing me
You've got to recognise my superiority
Liar Liar Liar Liar
You know you believed it
Higher Higher Higher Higher
'Cos I'm the main man

And thats why everybody wants a piece of the action
Everybody needs a main attraction
I've got what everybody needs
Satisfaction guaranteed
Everybody wants a piece of the action

Oh I was suicidal 'cos you was my idol
Baby baby baby bring it to your knees
Well there was a time I would've walked the line
But you bled me dry with your insatiable greed
Liar Liar Liar Liar
You know you believed it
Higher Higher Higher Higher
'Cos I'm the main man

And thats why everybody wants a piece of the action
Everybody needs a main attraction
I've got what everybody needs
Satisfaction guaranteed
Everybody wants a piece of the action

Do you want do you want action?
Everybody wants. Everybody needs.
Everybody wants. Everybody needs.

Everybody wants a piece of the action
Everybody needs a main attraction
I've got what everybody needs
Satisfaction guaranteed
Everybody wants a piece of the action

. . .


I... don't wanna know your name
Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before

OK... you think you got a pretty face
But the rest of you is out of place
You looked all right before

Fox on the run
You screamed and everybody comes a-running
Take a run and hide yourself away
Foxy on the run
F-foxy, fox on the run and hideaway

You... you talk about just every band
But the names you drop are second hand
I've heard it all before

I... don't wanna know your name
Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before

F-foxy, fox on the run
You screamed and everybody comes a-running
Take a run and hide yourself away
Foxy on the run
F-foxy, fox on the run and hideaway

Fox on the run
Fox on the run
Fox on the run
Fox on the run...

. . .


Andy Scott

Gagged, ball and chained
Feel just the same
Heads on the wall
Maybe you're just playing games
Set me free
Mauled by a hound
Hangin' around
Is this for real
I don't know when I'll be found
Set me free

Set me free
Set me free - from you

Taken by force
By you of course
Far from my bed
I know I'd rather be dead
Set me free

Set me free
Set me free - from you

Fire in my brain
Burn me insane
Making your mark
Don't leave me here in the dark
Set me free
Call me a saint
That's what I ain't
Inside my head
Maybe I'll feel better dead
Set me free

Set me free
Set me free - from you

. . .


You're a woman of the moment
a bitch and ya know it
but baby you got something coming to ya
your reputation fame I'm gonna blow it
Get back to the things ya do yeah
you got bad blood runnin' through ya
God I got to hand it to ya
you got bad blood runnin' through ya
You think ya fell in love with a dreamer
but baby ya better believe I'm a schemer
you're gonna get what's comin' to ya
Maybe baby they should call you Miss Demeanour

. . .


Are you ready, Steve? Aha! Andy? Yeah! Mick? Ok.
All right, fellas, let's go!

Well, it's been getting so hard
Livin' with the things you do to me
My dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see
I see a man at the back as a matter of fact
His eyes are red as the sun
And a girl in the corner let no one ignore her
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

Oh, yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And the man at the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said boy, I wanna warn ya
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

Oh, I'm reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
Oh, I softly call you over
When you appear there's nothing left of you
Now the man in the back
Is ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's mourner
She could kill you with a wink of her eye

Oh yeah, it was electric, so frantically hectic
And the band started leaving, 'cause they all stopped breathing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And the man at the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said boy, I wanna warn ya
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Blitz
Blitz
Blitz

Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, 'cause they all started grooving
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And the man at the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said boy, I wanna warn ya
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And the man at the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said boy, I wanna warn ya
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

It's, it's a ballroom blitz
It's, it's a ballroom blitz
It's, it's a ballroom blitz
Yeah, it's a ballroom blitz

. . .


Every time I look into your eyes
you make feel alright
every time you whisper sweet surprise
you make feel alright
Alright
Love me like fire
burn on the flame
touch me take me higher
I'll go insane
Every little word I say to you
I make you feel alright
Every single moment I'm with you
I make you feel alright
Alright
Love me like fire
burn on the flame
Love me like fire
burn on the flame
touch me take me higher
I'll go insane

. . .


Connolly/Priest/Scott/Tucker

Heart of a woman
But she's a child
Something inside that's gonna drive you wild
You, you go take a walk
I don't need that kind of talk
'Cause I'm a man not a mother

Solid gold brass got a mean streak
And it's running through my veins
Solid gold brass gotta green streak
And it's going to my brain
But she helps me hang on in there
Solid gold brass

Stars in her eyes
She'd playin' her game
Smooth words and T birds
Her only claim to fame
Hey, just watch what you say
Don't talk about her that way
You know I said I'm a man not a mother

Solid gold brass got a mean streak
And it's running through my veins
Solid gold brass gotta green streak
And it's going to my brain
And she helps me hang on in there

Solid gold brass got a mean streak
And it's running through my veins
Solid gold brass gotta green streak
And it's going to my brain
And she helps me hang on in there
Solid gold brass

Heart of a woman
But she's a child
Something inside that's gonna drive you wild

Solid gold brass got a mean streak
And it's running through my veins
Solid gold brass gotta green streak
And it's going to my brain

Solid gold brass got a mean streak...

Where were you in sixty-eight
In sixty-eight Julie was Johnnie's date
Two kids growin' together
Livin' each day as if time was slippin' away
Oh, they were just sixteen
And their love a teenage dream
They passed the time, they crossed the line
The line that ran between
Julie and Johnnie now you've made it

But life goes on, you know it ain't easy
You've just gotta be strong
If you're one of the sixteens
And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy
You know you'll never go wrong
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens

Suzie and Davey got to make the big time
Maybe they can put it all together
In a show that lasts forever
Oh they would walk the strip at nights
And dream they saw their name in lights
On Desolation boulevard
They'll light the faded light
Suzie and Davey you can make it

But life goes on, you know it ain't easy
You've just gotta be strong
If you're one of the sixteens
And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy
You know you'll never go wrong
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens

So where were you in sixty-eight
When Bobby and Billy thought
That sixty eight was out of date
They took the flowers from their hair
And tried to make us all aware
Too bad, too late
So they lived from day to day
And tried to do it all their way
But sixty-eight was sixty-eight
No matter what they say
Bobby and Billy maybe you'll make it one day...

. . .


I thought I was a space age cowboy
I thought I was a sweet and sour chow-boy
I thought I was a thinker
a juvenile drinker
I thought I had some kind of a brain
'till they told me I just a rumour
a cheap and nasty looner
As it turned out I was just insane

Chorus
I wanna be committed
Insanity permitted
I wanna be committed for my mind
I wanna be committed
Don't let me be remitted
I wanna be committed if you don't mind

At the dance last Saturday night
I was rockin' and rollin' and holding her tight
'till I got my hands on her
But when I started out to play
she kept pushing me away
'till I got a funny feeling
I was walking on the ceiling
and someone was heard to say 'If you don't mind, sir.'
I don't mind

I thought I was a teenage dream-boy
With a brain made of solid plastic alloy
I thought I was a tripper
Ain't nobody hipper
'till they told me I was going down the drain

Chorus

. . .


Aah, aah
You better beware, you better take care
You better watch out if you've got long black hair
He'll come from behind, you go out of your mind
You'd better not go, you'd never know what you'll find

Aah, aah
You look in his eyes, don't be surprised
If you don't know what's going on behind his disguise
Nobody knows where Buster goes
He'll steal your woman out from under your nose

Does anyone know the way, did we hear someone say
We just haven't got a clue what to do
Does anyone know the way, there's got to be a way
To Block Buster!

The cops are out, they're running about
Don't know if they'll ever be able to Block Buster out
He's gotta be cought, he's gotta be taught
'Cos he's more evil than anyone here ever thought

Does anyone know the way did we hear someone say
We just haven't got a clue - ow!
Does anyone know the way, there's got to be a way
To Block Buster!

Does anyone know the way did we hear someone say
We just haven't got a clue what to do
Does anyone know the way, there's got to be a way
To Block Buster!

Aah, aah, aah, aah
Buster, Buster, to Block Buster!
Buster, Buster, to Block Buster!
Buster, Buster, to Block Buster!...
