If you're taking a flight
At the speed of light If you're shaking your heads to the band If you're there in your hordes But you're not on the force We're taking this place to the ground In the heat of the night When you're fists are alight Forged on anvils of steel If your body's on fire About to expire We go through the threshold of pain Pull your head back Hold your hands high Shake your body If it's too loud And your brain hurts Fill your heads with heavy metal thunder On the wings of an eagle You're hoping to fly Holding your hands to the sky On a blue sea of venom Checkin' the band Your banners and scarves held on high If your backs are embroidered Come down to the front Don't sit there and do as they say We're an army of thousands Surrounded by lights Nobody stands in our way |

How long must I stay
How long must I go on Taking my chances on burning away Don't take away my daylight Don't take away my dream Why must I go (*) To hell and back again To hell and back again To hell and back again To hell and back again Will I make the morning (**) To see another day The Gods may come at midnight They're taking me away I'm waiting here on death row I pray for my reprieve [Repeat *] The chaplain and the gardener (***) Have told me how to die I've used up all my chances Now's the time to cry For I can hear the footsteps The lights have just gone dim I'm on the final journey [Repeat *] [Repeat **] [Repeat *] [Repeat ***] [Repeat *] |

I was listening to the music on the radio
I had a feeling that something's not right The music was loud, we could still hear the crowd From the gig that we played that night We pulled into a motorway restaurant Stopped awhile, fooled around But I still had a feeling that something's not right 'Cause we're standing in a whole in the ground Stop, get out We are the strong arm of the law Stop, get out We are the strong arm of the law Into the night came a blue flashing light A blast from the siren to make sure But it came to a stop behind the motorway cop Who'd been tailing us for more than an hour He pulled us out of the car on the side of the road He questioned us one at a time Where is the gear that we know that you use We said the only speed we use is on cars Stop, get out We are the strong arm of the law Stop, get out We are the strong arm of the law You should've seen the stupid smirk drop from his face It was a negative exercise The way that we dress and the things that we do They thought it was an easy bust I was listening to the music on the radio I had a feeling that something's not right The music was loud, we could still hear the crowd From the gig that we played that night Stop, get out We are the strong arm of the law Stop, get out We are the strong arm of the law |

I know that it's cold (*)Well don't stand outside my doorI told you beforeI don't want you anymoreChanged all the locksAnd took away your keyI don't care where you goBut just stay away from meI can't stand it (**)I don't need itI don't want youI can't trust youTaking your chancesIn the world outsideTaking your chancesIn the world outsideI gave all I hadBut you still come back for moreIt's the end of the line for meAnd that's for sureWell I know that you're proudAnd you love me to the boneWhen it's better for you to goYou don't stay home(Repeat **)(Repeat *)It's the end of the line for meAnd that's for sureI don't care where you goBut just keep away from here(Repeat **)

They came down from the north
To the plough they were forged On the traces of a man who'd been before Right up from the street Came the ranks of unemployed Then everything became the hungry years They searched the hungry years (*) For the triumphs by the fears There's a chance they had to take They were waiting for a break They searched the hungry years For the triumphs by the fears Some make it to the stars Playing rock and roll guitars Playing rock and roll guitars They read under the lights (**) To the jews and to the whites The systems gonna change and understand them The business world is deep For a percentage of the heat There was magic in the eyes They couldn't see the lies They watched it slowly die [Repeat *] Some take the fame And some take the blame Maybe they will and maybe they won't Tonight... [Repeat **] [Repeat *] |

Sixth form can't get out at night (*)
They keep them in, it's an awful sin Should set them free and let them roam The lights inside their dormitory When they go black you sneak away The plans are set but don't go yet They run down town to join the crowds (**) They're leaving school behind They meet the boys from the factory They're staying out all night, all night Sixth form girls they're looking good Skin tight jeans They're out for fun They drink wine late at night Meet some man who'll make them laugh Buy them drinks and make a pass Take them back to a penthouse flat [Repeat **] Sixth form girls take their pick of men They're learning fast the ways of love Just sixteen, teenage dream [Repeat *] [Repeat **] |

Down on main street the scene was set
They check out the fuel turn the radio on Open the gates, assemble the gun Wait at the red, for the president's run The world was shocked that fateful day (*) A young man's lot was blown away, away Dallas 1 p.m., 1 p.m. Right and left in the back of the head Screaming confusion, shots rip the air Cadillac racing, cops on the run They couldn't believe the president's hit The shooting stunned as I seemed to run Is he dead, no-one will say Around the world the news was flashed We sat and watched your tragic history [Repeat *] The world was shocked In Dallas 1 p.m. We sat and watched Tragic history The world was shocked In Dallas 1 p.m. |

In a giant´s step of mankind
On a distant lunar sea As you travel cross the universe Will you take a step Take a step for me Will you take a step for me The voyage of an eagle Blasting to the stars You take the hopes and dreams of men To find yourself To find tranquillity To find tranquillity Speeding across the universe And placed a lonely flag Out there in isolation At the final Final frontier At the final frontier Celebration As we wait for your return You took a giant leap for mankind On another On another world On another world Take it easy Take it slow Don't go fast Don't let go The eagle has landed |

We've got a 747 coming down in the night
There's no power, there's no runway lights Radio operator try to get a message through Tell the flight deck New York has no lights There's no power what do we do? 747 coming down in the night Try to get a message through We were strangers in the night Both on separate flights Strangers in the night Going nowhere This is Scandinavian one-o-one Flight from Hawaii coming out of the sun Kennedy should be in sight We can't see a thing here in the night Navigator says we're on the flight path There's no radio, no sign of life This is Scandinavian one-o-one For God's sake, get the ground lights on, because We were strangers in the night Both on separate flights Strangers in the night Going nowhere There's a 747 going into the night There's no power, they don't know why They've no fuel, they've got to land soon They can't land by the light of the moon They're overshooting, there's no guiding lights Set a course into the night Scandinavian one-o-one For God's sake get your ground lights on We were strangers in the night Both on separate flights Strangers in the night Going nowhere |
