Blitzkrieg Bop

They're forming in a straight line
They're going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop

They're piling in the blank seat
They're generating steam heat
Pulsating to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop

Hey ho, let's go
Shoot them in the back now
What they want, I don't know
They're all ripped up and ready to go

Radio

So you think I’m pleased with a poor few words and give in to you
And let our love fade away
Don´t you know we went too far this time to let it go
You are in all of me

In my soul, on my mind, in my heart and in my life
In my soul, on my mind, in my heart and in my life
In my heart, in my soul, on my mind, in my life and everywhere
Don’t know why it should be too late
You´ve got to know, I´ll follow you everywhere and I will sing
And I play this song and I put it on every station

Do they have to play this on the radio?
To show you my love, to show you my love
Do they have to play this on the radio?
To show you my love, my love

And the pictures blow their frames any time that I think of you
And someone else in my place
And any time that I walk, that I run, that I fly away from you
I know why I still believe
This is love and I can´t be wrong
It´s just too strong to let it go
And I sing this song and I put it on every station

That´s it so far, no more I stop, my limit ‘s reached and I have got
Nothing but this and you and I in my aching heart and weary mind
’Till you come back I´ll sing and stop to eat and sleep and that’s a fact
I might become a star - will become a star

Hold On

In this world of make believe
You’re all fed up with lie and deceive
But don’t you let this things drag you down
Just keep up the faith and turn things around
And I say

Hold on with your head up high
Hold on, don’t let a good thing die
Hold on, don’t you let another chance go by

If you think that you cannot change
One single thing or just rearrange
What is going wrong and what ties you down
You gotta break these chains and turn things around

Remember dreams of freedom and plans that you once had
It’s never too late to turn around you must consider that

Thirteen Bloodhounds (on my trail)

Sheriff John Brown´s daughter was a cherry pie
When I came to town she really caught my eye
I took her to my room, she was kinda shy
When her daddy found out, he said: "Son, you’re gonna die!"

I jumped out of the window my pants still down my knees
When I heard them say: "the hound dogs we´ll release"
They had a dozen dogs waiting in a barn
And John Brown´s very person was leading them all

You can hear the sheriff moanin´
'Cause he won´t see no bail
Lock up all your daughters
'Cause I won´t sleep in jail
There´s thirteen Bloodhounds on my trail

I jumped into the waters, three dogs drowned alright
I set the woods on fire, two dogs lit up bright
I took my shootin´ iron and shot two of them beasts
One just broke his neck - let him rest in peace

Two hounds lost their way for the swamp they did head
One had nearly got me when an alligator struck him dead
The last one, he was evil, I looked him in the eye
And as I pulled the trigger he howled his last goodbye

I made it cross the border but when I´m sleeping tight
I still can hear them hellhounds howling in the night

Dismissed Man

Met a guy from a record company
He said: trust me boy - put your face on MTV
Well, I sold a million, became a star
Never thought I would get so far
Life was good, never felt no misery

Just overnight a million people knockin' on my door
Most of them I didn't even know before
Tellin' me this and tellin' me that
Knowing what is best and where it's at
But I kept on rocking although they say I'm wrong

Well I get dissed, dissed, dismissed
Canceled ignored like I don't exist
Dissed, dissed - I'm a dismissed man

Well, I did all I could went on and played my part
Now everybody says they knew it right from the start
I'd bet he one to be doin' fine ‘n’ oh, by the way, son, can you spare a dime
And don't you dare to turn your back on me

Tired of all jive gonna change my name
Doesn't seem to work at all
Fame and fortune has never been my goal
I just wanna play my rock'n'roll

Now I'm sittin' here writing it all of my chast
I don't give a shit about those who know what's best
When I'm touring the country, come to your town
Better lock up them girls cause they dig my sound
You'll know right then they love the dismissed man

King of Bongo

Mama was queen of the mambo, Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle I started bangin' my first bongo
Every monkey'd like to be in my place instead of me
Cause I'm the king of bongo, Baby, I'm the king of bongo bong

I went to the big town where there is a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city looking for a bigger crown
So I play my boogie for the people of big city
But they don't go crazy when I'm bangin' in my boogie

I'm the
King of the Bongo, King of the Bongo
Hear me when I come, Baby

Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
Cause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie
I'm a king without a crown, hanging loose in a big town
But I'm the king of bongo, Baby, I'm the king of bongo bong

They say that I'm a clown making too much dirty sound
They say there is no place for little monkey in this town
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
Cause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie

Bangin' on my bongo all that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody in my place instead of me
I'm a king without a crown hanging loose in a big town
But I'm the king of bongo, Baby, I'm the king of bongo bong

Rockin' Rollin' Stone

I'm just a rockin' rollin' stone
I'm just a rockin' rollin' jumpin' crazy stone

Well, a rockin' stone don't gather no moss, they say
Well, a rockin' stone don't gather no moss, they say
Well, I'll keep a-rollin', you can throw your moss away

Well, a rockin' horse just goes nowhere at all
I know a rockin' horse just goes nowhere at all
Well, I'll keep a-rockin' ‘till I tumble, stumble and fall

I learned how to jump from a bean in Mexico
I learned how to jump from a bean in Mexico
I'll keep a-jumpin' it's the craziest thing I know

Well, you just can't roll a four by four at all
Well, you just can't roll a four by four at all
I may be square but I love to rock and roll

I Do

Who’ll dry your tears? I do
And who’ll sooth your fears? I do
And I’ll be there when you’re down
And no one’s left around
To whisper in your ear: I do love you

It ain’t easy on your own tryin’ to make it day by day
Looking for a friendly smile but all faces turn away
And you beg and you plead for some love to come your way
Darling, this is what I’ve gotta say

Radio Day

Tune in that radio station 24/7
Tune in and find your own and private heaven
If you start it one time, two times, three times the rest of your live
Your head is buzzin’ just like a hive

Hey, hey, hey when it starts to play it’s a radio day

The highway in the dessert keeps dragin’ on
Tautly you’re awaiting your favourite song
The wheels on the road are spreadin’ that same ol’ noise
Strangely mingled with that DJ’s voice

Tune in one-two-three-four-five-six-seven days a week
Pump up the volume and don’t you dare to speak

Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes, but it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk up

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

I'm walking down the line that divides me somewhere in my mind
On the borderline of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines of what's fucked up and everything`s all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk up

Ridin' On A Bullet

When you hear a roar and you see a flashin' light
You can bet I'm passin' by in my hot-rod tonight
A V-8 engine, four double carburators
400 horses make my ride go straighter
I will pass you by as if you ride a ton o' lead
‘Till you're gearin' down I'll be a hundred miles ahead

I'm ridin' on a bullet

I'm not riding fast, just flying little low
She's shakin' like a mad bull on a rodeo
Driftin' through the curves on chromed wide wheels
If you're not hot-rodin', don't know how it feels
Don't care about complainin' that I might be way too fast
Nothing's gonna stop me till I'm running out o' gas

I'm ridin' on a bullet - you can see the sparks fly
Ridin' on a bullet - as you see me passin’ by
Ridin' on a bullet - and the message is clear
Seems I pull the trigger when I put her in gear

If your car is fast and you got the nerve to ride
Roll your wreck over and turn up the headlights
We’ll be doin’ a hundred as we’re shootin’ down the track
Praise your guardian angel if you’re ever gettin’ back
You may have a lead over this old bomb of mine
But I’ll be right ahead when you cross the finish-line

Hand in Hand

She follows me down to where i go
She comes in a cloud but she don't know
She walks in a haze do we get up before it ever gets too late

Hand in hand we walk on down
The alley and our common ground
We walk in a haze do we pass out before we ever know what's on

She ain't never gonna get wise
I feel better with my hands tied

She follows me down to where i go
Not pulling a chain not feeling low
Don't wake me up i can't relate to any other song today

Hand in hand we walk along
The alley and our common ground
I walk in haze why should I care I'm waiting out the days go anywhere

I Can't Dance

Hot sun beating down
Burning my feet just walking around
Hot sun making me sweat
Gators getting close, hasn't got me yet

I can't dance, I can't talk
The only thing about me is the way I walk
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling everything

Blue jeans sitting on the beach
Her dog's talking to me but she's out of reach
She's got a body under that shirt
But all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt
And checking everything is in place
You never know who's looking on

Young punk spilling beer on my shoes
Fat guy's talking to me trying to steal my blues
Thick smoke, see her smiling through
I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool
And checking everything is in place
You never know who's looking on
A perfect body with a perfect face

Take Me Away

Some years ago I was on my way back west
Riding on my horse, we both needed a rest
While I was asleep the evil took its way
I had no chance to run away

As I awoke, the first thing I could see
A crowd of Indians were standing next me
They took me to their camp and tied me to the stake
If there would be some help it sure would come to late

Take me away from here
Can’t you see my incredible fear
Please, make me disappear
Take me away, away from here

Suddenly behind me, there was a noise
My chains were cut and I heard a voice
Run for your life as fast as you can
And out of the bushes stepped a mysterious man

In his eyes was a firey glance
The Indians realized they had no chance
'Cause he was shooting faster than anyone
And he didn’t stop until the fight was won

Trouble

My Baby took a ride on the train
To see her cousin somewhere in Maine
I was sad and blue, I really missed her
So much, sometimes I dated her sister

Oh - that means trouble

My Baby drove to Knoxville, Tennessee
A real cool place where she always wanted to be
I told her sister: “You look so fine, fine, fine”
And after that I showed her I got sweet love on my mind

My Baby left the house at ten
So I asked her sister to come right over again
When suddenly I heard the doorbell ring
And one moment later my Baby stepped right in

Army of Rock'n'Roll

My guitar is a rifle , the drum beats like a gun
The bass is spittin’ bullets, we’re always on the run
But we’re not killin' people , we just fight to survive
By playing lethal riffs sharper than a knife
Now the time has come to stand up for your right
To live a lifetime party, so let’s keep up the fight and

Join the army of Rock ’n’ Roll
Join the army of Rock ’n’ Roll
We reach out to save your soul
Join the army of Rock ’n’ Roll

We concur everywhere, but we fight for peace
Everything is changing, but we’re still on the scene
Ask yourself the question, what are you fighting for
You may reach for heaven, who can ask for more
Now the time has come to stand up for your right
To live a lifetime party, so let’s keep up the fight and

Fools Fall in Love

Fools fall in love in a hurry
Fools give their hearts much too soon
Just put in two bars of stardust
Just hang out one silly moon

Oh! They've got their love torches burning
When they should be playing it cool
I used to laugh but now I'm the same
Take a look at a brand new fool

Fools fall in love just like schoolgirls
Blinded by rose coloured dreams
They build their castles on wishes
With only rainbows for beams

Oh! They're making plans for the future
When they should be right back in school
I used to laugh but now I'm the same
Take a look at a brand new fool
All right!
