1. Women

In the beginning God made the land
Then He made the water and creatures
Then He made man
He was born with a passion, love and hate
A restless spirit with a need for a mate
But there was something that was missing
Something lost
So he came with the answer, here's what it cost
One part love, one part wild
One part lady, one part child

I give you
Women, women, lots of pretty women
Men, men, they can't live without them
Women, women, lots of pretty women
Men, men, they can't live without them

And in the garden, lust began
The animal instinct, the wanton man
She fed him with a hunger, an appetite
And fillin' with emotion he took a bite
It was one part love, one part child
One part lover, one part wild

I give you
Women, women, lots of pretty women
Men, men, they can't live without them
Women, women, lots of pretty women
Men, men, they can't live without them

Skin on skin, let the love begin
Women

It was one part love, one part wild
One part lover, one part child
A whole lotta fire, a little bit of ice
A whole lotta something you can't sacrifice

I give you
Hair, eyes, skin on skin
Legs, thighs
What's that spell

Women, women, oh, oh
Women, women, callin' every girl
Women, women, all around the world
Women, women, oh we can't live without them
Women, women

White lights, strange city, mad music all around
Midnight street magic, crazy people, crazy sound
Jack Flash, rocket man, Sergeant Pepper and the band
Ziggy, Benny and the Jets
Take a rocket, we just gotta fly

We're gonna fly
On a collision course to crash into my heart

Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket baby, c'mon, we're gonna fly

We just gotta fly

3. Animal

A wild ride, over stony ground
Such a lust for life, the circus comes to town
We are the hungry ones on a lightning raid
Just like a river runs, like a fire needs flame
I burn for you

I gotta feel it in my blood
I need your touch don't need your love

And I want, and I need, and I lust
Animal
And I want, and I need, and I lust
Animal

I cry wolf, given mouth to mouth
Like a movin' heartbeat in the witching hour
I'm runnin' with the wind, a shadow in the dust
And like the drivin' rain, like the restless rust
I never sleep

I gotta feel it in my blood
I need your touch don't need your love

And I want, and I need, and I lust
Animal
And I want, and I need, and I lust
Animal

Cry wolf baby
Cry tough
Gonna hunt you like an, uh uh animal
Gonna take your love 'n' run

I gotta feel it in my blood
I need your touch don't need your love

And I want, and I need, and I lust
Animal
And I want, and I need, and I lust
Animal
And I want, and I want
And I need, and I need
And I lust, and I lust
Animal, animal
And I want, take me
And I need, tame me
And I lust, make me
Animal, your animal

And I want, show me
And I need, stroke me
And I lust, let me be your
Animal, animal
And I want, I want
And I need, ooh
And I lust, animal
Animal




4. Love Bites

If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites

When you make love, do you look in the mirror?
Who do you think of, does he look like me?
Do you tell lies and say that it's forever?
Do you think twice, or just touch 'n' see?
Oooh babe

When you're alone, do you let go?
Are you wild 'n' willin' or is it just for show?
Ooh c'mon

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
Cause making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No

Love bites, love bleeds
It's bringin' me to my knees
Love lives, love dies
It's no surprise
Love begs, love pleads
It's what I need

When I'm with you, are you somewhere else?
Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself?
When you wake up, will you walk out?
It can't be love if you throw it about

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy

Love bites, love bleeds
It's bringin' me to my knees
Love lives, love dies
It's no surprise
Love begs, love pleads
It's what I need

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No

Love bites, love bleeds
It's bringin' me to my knees
Love lives, love dies

Love bites, love bleeds
It's bringin' me to my knees
Love lives, love dies
It's no surprise
Love begs, love pleads
It's what I need

If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites

(Yes it does, bloody hell)




5. Pour Some Sugar on Me

Step inside, walk this way
You and me babe, hey hey

Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man
Your man

Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a little light
Television lover, baby, go all night
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss-a-innocent sugar me, yeah

Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me, ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me, c'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me, oh, I can't get enough
I'm hot, sticky sweet from my head to my feet yeah

Listen
Red light, yellow light, green-a-light go
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up
I loosen up

You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a littl
Tease a little more
Easy operator come-a-knockin' on my door
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah
Give a little more

Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me, ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me, c'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me, oh, I can't get enough
I'm hot, sticky sweet from my head to my feet yeah

You got the peaches, I got the cream
Sweet to taste saccharine
'Cos I'm hot, so hot, sticky sweet
From my head, my head to my feet
To my feet
Do you take sugar, one lump or two?

Take a bottle, take a bottle
Shake it up, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up
Break it up

Pour some sugar on me, ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me, c'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me, oh, I can't get enough
Pour some sugar on me, oh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me, get it, come get it
Pour your sugar on me, ooh
Pour some sugar on me, yeah
Sugar me




6. Armageddon It

Ya better come inside when you're ready to
But no chance if ya don't wanna dance
You like four letter words when you're ready to
But then you won't cause you know that you can
You got it, but are you gettin' it?

You say that love is won when you get some
But then your finger won't trigger the gun

You know you you can't stop it, so don't rock it
You know you got it
Hey, but are you gettin' it?
Ooh, really gettin' it?
Come get it from me

Gimme all of you lovin', every little bit
Gimme all that you got, every bit of it
Every bit of your lovin, oh, c'mon live a bit
Never wanna stop
Yeah, but are you gettin' it?
Armageddon it
Ooh, really gettin' it?
Yes armaggedon it
C'mon get it

You try comin' on when you need some
But then you don't cause you already did
Yeah, you jangle your jewels while your shakin' ya
And drive the pretty boys outta their heads
You got it, but are you gettin' it?

You flash your bedroom eyes like a jumpin' jack
Then play it pretty with a pat on the back
You know you ya can't stop it, so don't rock it
You know you got it
Hey, but are you gettin' it?
Ooh, really gettin' it?
Come get it from me

Gimme all of you lovin', ev'ry little bit
Gimme all that you got, ev'ry bit of it
Ev'ry bit of your lovin, oh come on live a bit
Never want it to stop
Yeah, but are you gettin' it?
Armageddon it
Ooh, really gettin' it?
Yes armaggedon it

C'mon Steve, get it

Take it, take it, take it from me
I got an itchy finger following me
Pull it, pull it, c'mon trigger the gun
Cause the best is yet to come
I say, cause the best is yet to come
Oh, are you gettin' it?
Oh, really gettin' it?
Yes, are you gettin' it?
Whooh, really gettin' it?
Come get it from me

Gimme all of you lovin', every little bit
Gimme all that you got, every bit of it
Every bit of your lovin', oh come on live a bit
Never want it to stop, oh, are you getting it?
Gimme all of your lovin', ooh really gettin' it?
Gimme all that you got, oh are you getting it?
Gimme all of your lovin', oh live a bit
Gimme all that you got, whoa
Live a bit
You've got to live it

Gimme all of your lovin', ooh baby live it
Gimme all that you got, come on and give it
Every bit of your lovin', oh come on and give it
Never want it to stop, oh are you gettin' it?
Gimme all of your lovin', ooh really gettin' it?
Gimme all that you got, oh are you gettin' it?
Every bit of your lovin', oh live a bit
Never want it to stop, whoa




7. Gods of War

Feelin' like it's all over
Feelin' like there's no love
Feelin' like it's not easy
Breathin' life in the dust
On a countdown to zero
Take a ride on the nightmare machine
There ain't gonna be heroes
There ain't gonna be anything

Here it comes, here comes the night
Here it comes, hell in the night
Here it comes, here comes the night
When we all fall down

When we walk into silence
When we shadow the sun
When we surrender to violence
Then the damage is done
Put away that gun

I don't wanna be there
I don't wanna be anywhere

Here it comes, here comes the night
Here it comes, hell in the night
Here it comes, here comes the night
That's right

We're fightin' for the gods of war
But what the hell we fightin' for
We're fightin' with the gods of war
But I'm a rebel
And I ain't gonna fight no more
No way

On a countdown to zero
Take a ride on the nightmare machine
There ain't gonna be heroes
There ain't gonna be anything

Here it comes, here comes the night
Here it comes, hell in the night
Here it comes, here comes the night
Don't ya know that's right

We're fightin' for the gods of war
But what the hell we fightin' for
We're fightin' with the gods of war
And I ain't gonna fight no more
Stop fightin' for the gods of war
Yeah what the hell we fightin' for
What in the hell we fightin' for
We're fightin' with the gods of war
Heavy




8. Don't Shoot Shotgun

Run for cover
Don't shoot, shoot
She's so dangerous
Shotgun, gun, don't shoot shotgun

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Fallin' head over heels at the speed of light
Hey little miss heaven on earth
Won't you walk this way
But I see a red alert
Oh, my senses say keep away
So don't shoot, don't shoot shotgun

Dream on nightmare, touch 'n' go
Dove turned destroyer, she cut you up
She's a slave of love

Run for cover, she's so dangerous
Undercover, she's so shameless

So don't shoot shotgun
You got me bitin' my lip
Don't shoot shotgun
You're shootin' straight from the hip
So don't shoot shotgun
Shoot me baby

Hit 'n' miss, flesh and blood
She's sweet and indiscreet
She can't get enough
A little midnight madness
Oh baby, you can't hide
So wild 'n' unpredictable, step aside
Cause you're, you're shooting wide

Run for cover, she's so dangerous
Undercover, she's so shameless
Don't shoot shotgun
You got me bitin' my lip
So don't shoot shotgun
Ya shootin' straight from the hip
Shake it, shake it!
Take this, little hit 'n' miss

So don't shoot shotgun
You got me bitin' my lip
Don't shoot shotgun
Ya shootin' straight from the hip
Don't shoot it
Don't shoot shotgun, shake it, shake it
Take this little hit 'n' miss
Don't shoot shotgun
Oh shoot it, don't shoot it
Oh shotgun
Shoot me, baby
Let it blow




9. Run Riot

Living by the law is a bloody necessary bore
Everybody are you gettin' what you're lookin' for
Livin' by the rule is somethin' that you gotta do
But does it matter if we break a rule or two

Get up, break out, don't be the odd one out

Livin' on the edge, I'm a tryin' to keep a level head
Every morning it's a bummer gettin' out of bed
Same old story does a nothin' ever ever change
Yeah, they lock me up and then they let me out again

Get up, break out, don't be the odd one out
Come on, it's alright, we're hot tonight

You better run, run riot
You gotta run, run riot
You know the time has come
Run, run riot, I mean everyone

Whoa, get f-f-frustrated easily
Pedal to the metal senses working overtime
Hey, gonna fight to the finish baby
Draw the line

C'mon, it's alright we're hot tonight
Run, run riot
You gotta run, run riot

You better run, run riot

Run, run riot, come on, run with me
Run, run riot
Run, run riot
I'll take you from your misery
Come on, stick with me




10. Hysteria

Out of touch, out of reach yeah
You could try to get closer to me
I'm in luck, I'm in deep, yeah
Hypnotized, I'm shakin' to my knees

I gotta know tonight if you're alone tonight
Can't stop this feeling, can't stop this fire

Cause it's a miracle, oh say you will, ooh babe
