Out Of Control

Breaks away the chains that bind me
Gives me sympathy
Keeps me running on the high road
Keeps me living free
Never tries to steal my thunder
Helps me through the night
Always there to help and guide me
Makes me feel alright

There ain't no doubt about it
Just can't live without her
Moves my very soul
When we touch I lose control
I'm outta control
I lose control
I'm outta control

When I feel depressed and lonely
She never asks me why
Always knows just when to leave me
When I start to lie
Tries to think about the next day
So I can survive
When I come home tired and weary
She keeps me satisfied

There ain't no doubt about it
Just can't live without her
Moves my very soul
When we touch I lose control

She breaks away the chains that bind me
Gives me sympathy
Keeps me running on the high road
Keeps me living free
Never tries to steal my thunder
Helps me through the night
Always there to help and guide me
Makes me feel alright

There ain't no doubt about it
Just can't live without her
Moves my very soul
When we touch I lose control
I'm outta control

I lose control
I'm outta control

Play It Loud

I was driving down the highway my music playing loud
I drove into a truckstop stepped up feelin' proud
The stupid gas attendant said "stop that fucking row"
There's always someone somewhere who'll try and turn you down

So if you need some action and nothing comes around
Don't call the doctor turn up the sound
Play it loud
In your neighbourhood
Play it loud
In your neighbourhood

I was lying on the beach taking the rays
Listening to Deep Purple reminiscing of old days
I was hassled by a lifeguard so I kicked him to the ground
There's always someone somewhere who'll try and turn you down

So if you need some action and nothing comes around
Don't call the doctor turn up the sound
Play it loud
In your neighbourhood
Play it loud
In your neighbourhood

I'm sick of people saying our music is too loud
They never stop complaining, try to turn us down
But if you want it louder we'll turn it up full blast
They'll never stop the music they're living in the past

So if you need some action and nothing comes around
Don't call the doctor turn up the sound

Play it loud
In your neighbourhood

Princess Of The Night

She used to be an ironhorse
Twenty years ago
Used to bring the mail to me
Through the ice and snow
I've sat alone and watched her
Steaming through the night
Ninety tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky

She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky

Speeding, sparks like lightning
Engine working hard
Furnace on the foot plate
Shining in the night
Iron striking metal
The sound of racing steel
It's all I ever wanna hear
It's music to my ears

She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky

She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky

Ninety tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky
Steaming red hot pistons
See the wheels flash by
Hear the whistle blowing
Streaking down the track
If I ever had my way
I'd bring the princess back one day

She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky
(sky, sky, sky)

Raise Some Hell

Hit me with the thunder
Tear this place apart
Can't wait a minute longer
Let the music start

Running with the tiger
I'm about to kill
Can't wait a minute longer
I wanna feel the thrill

Come on ride the rebel
Raise the Texas yell
Dancing with the devil
We're gonna raise some hell

Riding on a stallion
The axe is gonna rule
Can you feel the fury
Screaming down on you

Showing you no mercy
We're gonna make you burn
Waiting for the lightning
You're never gonna learn

Come on ride the rebel
Raise the Texas yell
Dancing with the devil
We're gonna raise some hell

Outlaw of the highway
Branded by the law
Dancing with the devil
Make the dragon roar

Children of the future
Hear the rebel yell
Don't wait until tomorrow
We're gonna burn in hell

Come on ride the rebel
Raise the Texas yell
Dancing with the devil
We're gonna raise some hell

Ride Like The Wind

It is the night, my body's weak (*)
I'm on the run, no time for sleep
I've got to ride, ride like the wind
To be free again

I was born the son of a lawless man
Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand
Lived nine lives, gunned down ten
Gonna ride like the wind

And I've got such a long way to go (**)
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

Accused and tried and told to hang
I was nowhere in sight when the churchbells rang
Never was the kind to do as I was told
Gonna ride like the wind before I get old

(Repeat **)
(Repeat *)

Rock N Roll Gipsy

White line fever, takes me high
Another city, another lie
Another town, another face
Another woman to take your place

Catch the bullet, ride the storm
Drive me crazy 'till the dawn
Like an eagle flying high
Look for freedom in the sky

She's a rock 'n' roll gipsy
Don't go breaking my heart
She's a rock 'n' roll gipsy
She's gonna tear me apart

Rolling thunder, moving on
Another time, another song
Another room, another night
Another dream, another fight

Keep on moving down the line
Gipsy woman on my mind
Ask no questions, tell no lies
See the answers in my eyes

She's a rock 'n' roll gipsy
Don't go breaking my heart
She's a rock 'n' roll gipsy
She's gonna tear me apart

Rockin' Again

I'm standing in the dark, let the music start
I can hear you call out my name
I see the flashing lights cutting through the night
The spotlight is shining on you
I've always been around
I'll never let you down
I've seen it through right from the start

We'll be rockin' together, rockin' again
We'll be rockin' together, rockin' again

I'm standing in the dark, let the music start
I can hear you call out my name

Do what you wanna do tonight
We're gonna make you feel alright
Do what you wanna do tonight

Stop the show, I gotta go
But we'll be back for more

We'll be rockin' together, rockin' again
We'll be rockin' together, rockin' again

Rough And Ready

Well, you're brought up on the street
Did ya make it on your own
Are ya living in the shadow
Crawling in the night
Sleeping in the subway
Beggin' for a fight
Makes ya grow up hard, boy
Aren't you ready for a fight

I don't need no one
You can keep you sympathy
I live on my own
I would make that company
I don't need no one
You can keep you sympathy
I live on my own
I would make that company
I'm rough and ready tonight
Crawling in the night

Standing on the corner
Asked ya for smoke
I kick you in the deep, boy
Steel away you girl
Talked into a night fight
They cut me to the bone
Don't ya mess with me, boy
Ya better leave me alone

I don't need no one
You can keep you sympathy
I live on my own
I would make that company
I don't need no one
You can keep you sympathy
I live on my own
I would make that company
I'm rough and ready tonight

Maybe seeing a call girl
I'll take ya for a ride
The cops will never break me
Steal away my pride
If you're looking for a good time
And ya wanna ride with me
And you're feeling rough and ready
Rough and ready with me

You can change my life
You can read my mind
I don't want no one
I don't have no one
I don't need no one
You can keep your sympathy

Well, you're brought up on the street
Did ya make it on your own

Sleeping in the subway
Begging for a fight
Makes ya grow up hard, boy
Ain't you ready for a fight

I don't need no one
You can keep you sympathy
I live on my own

I don't need no one
You can keep you sympathy
I live on my own
I would make that company
I'm rough and ready tonight

Rough and ready tonight

Sailing To America

Excitement in the air
There's a journey to prepare
They check the food and water's all on board

They're waiting for the tide
The sails are open wide
They're sailing to a better place to dwell

They're sailing to America
Fly the banners high
They're sailing to America
Set the rigging high

The quayside's full of friends
A farewell in their hands
No-one knows if they will reach the shore

As Plymouth slips away
They'll not be back again
They're sailing off towards the promised land

They're sailing to America
Fly the banners high
They're sailing to America
Set the rigging high

They're sailing to America
Fly the banners high

The Mayflower's on her way
Set sail for many days
The lookout searching for the distant shore

Anchored in the surf
Their journey's at an end
The pilgrims set their feet on virgin land

They're sailing to America
Fly the banners high
They're sailing to America
Set the rigging high

Stallions of The Highway

Friday night, I feel all right
I get into my leathers
And I get out on my bike

There's thunder in my ears
It's blasting down...
Kickin' up brick
I don't give a shit
I got the wind in my hair
You know I don't even care
Stallions of the highway

Switchblade's gleamin'
Engine screamin'
I'm laughin' at fate
I'm living to hate
My knees are showing red
I'm ridin' with the dead
Get out of my way
I'm a stallion of the highway

I got the wind in my hair
I don't even care
I broke out of my shell
I'm on a daydream from hell
Don't shed no tears
I been here fifteen years

Friday night, I feel all right
I get into my leathers
And I get out on my bike

My knees are showing red
I'm ridin' with the dead
Get out of my way
I got the wind in my hair
I don't even care
Stallions of the highway
Of the highway
