3. Too Late For Love
Somewhere in the distance I hear the bells ring
Darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing
The lady 'cross the street she shuts out the night
There's a cast of thousands waiting as she turns out the light
But it's too late, too late, too late
Too late for love
Yes it's too late too late, too late
Too late for love
London boys are staring as the girls go hand in hand
With a pocket full of innocence, their entrance is grand
And the Queen of the dream stands before them all
She stretches out her hand as the curtains start to fall
Standing by the trapdoor aware of me and you
Are the actor and the clown their waiting for their cue
And there's a lady over there she's acting pretty cool
But when it comes to playing life she's always playin' the fool
4. 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
5. Tear It Down
You got the look of a howlin' wolf
I like it
The kind of eyes that could start a fire
Yes, I like it
A streetwise dynamo
I switch you on and I watch you go
A thrill to touch, you're so hot
I'm coming for you ready or not
I'm gettin' ready
Livin' on the edge of a dream
Gettin' ready, I'm gettin' ready
Oh, switch on your lovin' machine
Tear it down
There's got to be a better way
Tear it down
I can't wait another day
Tear it down
There's got to be a better way
Tear it down
If only you could stay
All night long
Come on
I'm on fire, you're all ice
Once too much is twice as nice
Get tough, fools luck
One bite and I'm hooked
A black cat with a silver tongue
A quick lick and you're gone
One kiss, it hots up
Too close ain't close enough
I'm gettin' ready
Living on the edge of a dream
Gettin' ready, I'm gettin' ready
Oh, so switch on your lovin' machine
Tear it down
There's got to be a better way
Tear it down
I can't wait another day
Tear it down
There's got to be a better way
Tear it down
If only you could stay
All night long
I'm gettin' ready
Living on the edge of a dream
Gettin' ready, I'm gettin' ready
Come on, switch on your lovin' machine
Tear it down
There's got to be a better way
Tear it down
I can't wait another day
Tear it down
There's got to be a better way
Tear it down
If only you could stay
Tear it down
There's got to be a better way
Tear it down
I can't wait another day
Tear it down
There's got to be a better way
Tear it down
If only you could stay
All night
6. 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
7. 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
8. 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
Run, yeah, run riot
Oh, gotta run riot babe
Goin' through the motions desperation guaranteed
Whoa, get f-f-frustrated easily
Pedal to the metal senses working overtime
Hey, gonna fight to the finish baby
Draw the line
Get up, break out, don't be the odd one out
C'mon, it's alright we're hot tonight
Run, run riot
You gotta run, run riot
You know the time has come
Run, run riot, I mean everyone
Run, yeah, run riot
Speak to me
They lock me up, they let me out but I'm up and runnin'
I scream and shout
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, come on, run with me
Run, run riot
Run, run riot
I'll take you from your misery
Come on, stick with me
9. Wasted
Well I've been lying awake all night just thinking of you
But a bottle of whiskey lies heavy obstructing my view
I've got a bottle of pills to give me my thrills
And I know that I'm leading a life that kills
Wasted - I've wasted my time
Wasted - I'm shooting a line
Wasted - I'm stuck in a hole
Wasted - I'm losing control
And I've been meaning to call, I've been wanting to phone
You see I don't like the thought of leaving you here alone
Well I've seen things down here that are fit for a queen
I've seen things down here that should never be seen
Wasted - I've wasted my money
Wasted - I've wasted you honey
Wasted - I'm out of my brain
Wasted - I'm going insane
I'm running in thin air
There's nothingness everywhere
I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me?
I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me?
I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me get out?
I thought I saw you just the other day
But it couldn't be you 'cos you had nothing to say
'He's going away', they told all my friends
Well now I'll be stuck in here til the misery ends
Wasted - I've wasted my time
Wasted - I'm shooting a line
Wasted - I'm out of my head
Wasted - I wish I was dead
10. Comin' Under Fire
Your kind of woman gotta heart of stone
But watch it break when I get you alone
Take a chance, come lay down with me
Oh, I wanna make it
Slow and steady never lost the race
Don't stop runnin', I'm a fool for the chase
Play the game, surrender to me
Baby, I don't wanna fake it
Is it any wonder, you got me comin' under fire?
Comin' like thunder, you know you make me walk the wire
It's so easy to put on a show
Your body says yes but you won't let it go
But my passion it won't slip away
You got me, I'm cornered, my back to the wall
No bed of roses, ain't no bed at all
I'm walkin' the wire, I stumble and fall
I got the message but I ain't gonna crawl
11. Stagefright
I said Welcome to my show
It's just a-you and me baby
We got the whole damn night to go
You're holding out on me, while I'm on fire
If you can't stand the heat, then you should try
Victim of my vices, you know you are
You skate on ice to paradise, stairway to the stars
Stagefright all night, won't you let go
All night Stagefright, on with the show
You come on like a lady dressed to kill
Never thought you could be caught, but you will
A Little understanding, a little love
A headline act around the back, is what I'm thinkin' of
Stagefright All night, Won't you let go
All night Stagefright, On with the show
Stagefright All night, You're dream starts today
All night Stagefright, is only a heartbeat away
You're going for my head, you're going down
Gettin' good at being bad, you're hangin' round
A fun inspired asylum, toys for the boys
Love on the rocks, forget-me-nots, you got no change
12. Rock Brigade
Well, in the middle of the night and the early morning light
You can hear them a million miles away
They'll be bangin' on their drums bangin' on your door
Waving their flags telling you to score
Watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Oh no, it's the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Look out for the rock brigade
Leading you away, away
So when they hit your town you'd better get down
I'm telling no lies to you mister
Cause they live for rock'n'roll they'll try to steal your soul
Might even try to steal your sister
Watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Oh no it's the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Look out for the rock brigade
Leading you away, away, away
So in the middle of the night or the early morning light
If you hear them comin' your way
Well you'd better watch your step don't step out of line
Cause here they come one more time
Watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Oh no it's the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Look out for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
You better watch for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
I say watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Keep your eyes on the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Don't let your eyes off the rock brigade (rock brigade)
They'll be leading you away, away, away
13. Ring Of Fire
Fun girl, you tempted me, a feast of sparks
in the night is what I need
Ooh I'm a-ready to roar, and I'm a-ready for more
And I'm a-ready to burn like the light into the dawn
Oh I gotta see the fire in me, turning into ecstasy
So stick around and settle down enjoy the mystery
A voice in the wilderness, there's somethin' in the air
A little love won't bring your precious self a secret flame
Fun girl
(Are you ready, ready for fun girl?)
Feels like fire
(Are you ready, ready for fun girl?)
Ring of fire
I left, so indiscreet, you're stealing all of the fire
electric me
I'm staring into the sun, I'm staring into a gun
I'm staring at the sky, turn it out and let it burn
[Repeat Bridge]
[Repeat Chorus]
Fun girl, you tempted me, ya cut me up
Like a knife so tenderly
Oh I gotta see the fire in me, burning up my ecstasy
A little love won't bring your precious self a secret flame.
Oh no
[Repeat Chorus]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh
14. 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

Baby
15. Switch 625 (instrumental)
16. Action (Sweet cover)
So you think you'll take another piece of me
To satisfy your intellectual need
Do you want, do you want...Action?
Gonna bring you down cause you're pushin' me
You gotta recognize my superiority
Liar, liar
You know you believed it
Liar, liar
Cause I'm the main man
And that's why...
Everybody wants a piece of the action
Everybody needs a main attraction
I got what everybody needs
Satisfaction guaranteed
Everybody wants a piece of the action
I was suicidal cause she was my idol
Baby baby baby bring it to your knees
Well there was a time I would have walked the line
Don't you bring me down with your insatiable greed
[Repeat Bridge]
[Repeat Chorus]
Do you want... Action!! Action!!
Everybody wants, everybody needs
Everybody wants, everybody needs
[Repeat Bridge and Chorus]
