2. Another Hit and Run
Union Jack is back with a hole in his head
He's gettin' badly burned every time
He's laughin' at me and dancin' on my sneakers
And his sixties songs are blowin' up my speakers
I say you got no respect
Respect for authority
You're just playing your dirty tricks
And then come cryin' to me
Hit and run, hit and run
It's just a hit and run
Another hit and run
The bulldog lost his bite and his breath has gone bad
And the whole damn world is really laughin' mad
I say you got no respect
Respect for authority
You're just playing your dirty tricks
And then come cryin' to me
Hit and run, hit and run
It's just a hit and run
Another hit and run
Hit it
Oh bring it down, oh you bring it down
I said you ain't got no respect
I said you ain't got no respect
No you ain't got no respect
And you hit me when I'm down
Hit and run, hit and run
It's just another hit and run
I said it's just another hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Hit and run, hit and run
Hit and run, hit and run
Hit and run
It's just another hit and run
Hit and run
3. High 'n' Dry (Saturday Night)
Saturday, I feel right, I been drinking all day
Yes I got a date, a midnight ride, I had to get it away
Yeah, I'm not a loner, I'm not a fool
Don't need a reason, reason to be cool
I got my whisky, I got my wine
I got my woman and this time the lights are going out
Saturday night, high
Saturday night, high 'n' dry
Saturday night, I'm high
Saturday night, high 'n' dry
I feel bad, I feel mean, I'm up and down and in between
On the bottle, I'm on the line, I'm up and feeling fine
I'm not a loner, I'm not a fool
Don't need a reason, reason to be cool
I got my whisky, I got my wine
I got my woman, and this time the lights are going out
Saturday night, high
Saturday night, high 'n' dry
Saturday night, I'm high
Saturday night, high 'n' dry
Oh take me high
Saturday, kickin' out, her train was comin' to me
I gotta move, number one, saturday night on the run
Saturday night, high
Saturday night, high 'n' dry
Saturday night, got my whisky
Saturday night, got my wine
Saturday night, got my woman
Saturday night, high 'n' dry
You gotta try me tonight
4. Bringin' on the Heartbreak
Gypsy, sittin' lookin' pretty
A broken rose with laughin' eyes
You're a mystery, always runnin' wild
Like a child without a home
You're always searching, searching for a feeling
That it's easy come and easy go
Oh I'm sorry but it's true
You're bringin' on the heartache
Takin' all the best of me, oh can't you see
You got the best of me, oh can't you see
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see
You're such a secret, misty eyed and shady
Lady how you hold the key
Oh you're like a candle, your flame slowly fadin'
Burnin' out and burnin' me
Can't you see
Just try and say to you
You're bringin' on the heartache
Takin' all the best of me, oh can't you see
You got the best of me, oh can't you see
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see, can't you see
No, no, no
You got the best of me, oh can't you see
You got the best of me, oh can't you see
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache

5. Switch 625
6. You Got Me Runnin'
I don't care too much for
Your backstabbin' and side steppin'
You're all sweet talk, you're all lust
You're the kind yeah, I don't trust
I gotta get out, step aside
Before you damage my pride
Let me through don't spoil my view
I gotta get away, away from you
Oh no no never thought I'd feel so low
You got me runnin', you got me runnin'
But I ain't gonna hide
And yesterday everything seemed okay
Yeah you better run and hide away
Oh you better hide
You're out, out on the street
But I'm back on my feet
I might lose it, so get wise
Stop your usin' and your lies
Oh my friend don't stick around
Your time is up, the chips are down
Let me through don't spoil my view
I gotta get away, away from you
Oh no no never thought I'd feel so low
You got me runnin', you got me runnin'
But I ain't gonna hide
And yesterday everything seemed okay

Oh you better hide
You got me runnin', you got me runnin'

But I ain't gonna hide
And yesterday everything seemed okay

7. Lady Strange
I never needed love before till I met you girl
A girl like you I have never seen
You came into my life like a whirlwind girl
You let me know what lovin' really means
Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you
Lady strange, oh lady strange I need you
You got me where you want me gir
So no messin' around
You know I never played that hard to please
I've been here many times before
And walked this sacred ground
But this time you got me on my knees, you got me
Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you
Lady strange, oh lady strange I need you
Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you
Lady strange, oh lady strange yes I want you
I need you
Oh you're so strange
Taking love from you's like taking candy from a baby
But lady strange there is no stranger lady, no
Just you and me, we make love, good love
So let me know what lovin' really means
Woman please
Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you
Lady strange, oh lady strange I need you
Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you
Lady strange, oh lady strange I need you
I need you, I want you, yeah
8. On Through the Night
The wait is done, the battle's won
So count the cost before you run
Cause on and on your time was power
The clock on the wall ticks away the hours
Come on down, you're flyin' high
You'll never win if you never try
Stop the hate and carry the load
Come on, get this show on the road
On through the night, you can't stop me now
On through the night, you won't stop me anyhow
The stakes are high and gettin' higher
I'm flat on my face and you call me liar
I'm watching you, you're watching me
You're watching every move that I can see
My reputation's still at stake
I play it safe for safety's sake
Your ego and your promises
Are gonna fade again and again
On through the night, you won't stop me now
On through the night, you won't stop me anyhow
Not anyhow
All you want to hear is the audience applause
You can't get on stage for a country clause
And the road ahead seems a little rough
If you want to know my feelings I'd say that's tough
And that's tough
Your wheels ain't turnin', you're out of gas
You pay by check but they take cash
Two roads ahead but which to take
And you can't see it's your mistake
They're waitin' for you
They're waitin' for me
And what seems like eternity
It's all tradition, it'll get you yet
In rock'n'roll there's no safety net
On through the night, you can't stop me now
On through the night, you can't stop me anyhow
On through the night, goin' on and on, on and on
On through the night, you can't stop me anyhow
No no not anyhow
9. Mirror, Mirror (Look into My Eyes)
Mirror mirror, just watchin' with your eye of glass
You're just a fortune wheel
With something that I wanna ask
Mirror mirror got my fate lyin' in your hands
You're the fool, you're the juggler
Hangman and lover, you're not like no other
Take a look into my eyes, tell me what you see
Take a look into my eyes, tell me is it true
Take a look into my eyes, oh when I look at you
Take a look into my eyes, tell me is it me
Is it really me?
Mirror mirror gotta know just what you see
My crystal ball you're lookin' so sly and so sleazy
Mirror mirror hangin' there
With that crack in your eye
You make me stumble, make me blind
Time after time and line by line
Take a look into my eyes, tell me what you see
Take a look into my eyes, tell me is it true
Take a look into my eyes, oh when I look at you
Take a look into my eyes, tell me is it me
Mirror mirror
Oh tell me
You're the fool, you're the juggler
I ain't met a lover, you're like no other, so
Take a look into my eyes, tell me what you see
Take a look into my eyes, tell me is it true
Take a look into my eyes, oh it just couldn't last
Take a look into my eyes, gonna have to smash the glass
Take a look, take a look
Take a look into my eyes, take a look
Take a look into my eyes, oh yeah
Take a look into my eyes
Take a look into my eyes
Take a look into my eyes
Take a look into my eyes, take a look, take a look
Take a look into my eyes, look into my eyes
Take a look into my eyes, tell me if it's me
Baby
10. No No No
She was a foxy rocker, a roxy roller
An unchained sex machine
Slippin' slidin', electric glidin'
And boy she was mean
I said mean
High class dealer, sippin' her tequila
Comin' on pretty strong
Real love stealer, rebel rousin' squealer
She said go but I said no
I kept saying no, no no no no no
I kept saying no, no no no no no
Waiting at the back door, couldn't take it anymore
Didn't know where she'd been
She looked pretty neat, turnin' on the heat and only seventeen
Seventeen
Windin' her up, bringin' her down, she wanted it just the same
Said stick around
That's when I found I only had myself to blame
I kept saying no, no no no no no
I kept saying no, no no no no no
High class dealer, sippin' on tequila
Comin' on really strong
Rhythm stealer, rattle off squealer
She said go but I said no
Well I kept saying no, no no no no no
Well I kept saying no, no no no no no
Well I kept saying no, no no no no no
I say no no no
I say no no no
I say no no
No
No
No
