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 |

When my foot's on the throttle
there's no looking back I leave my motor ticking over when she's parked on the track I've got a sixty eight Chevvy with pipes on the side You know she's my idea of beauty and that's what I drive She's got wheels, wheels of steel Talkin' 'bout my wheels of steel I don't take no jibe from no motorway pigs When I'm cruisin' down the freeway I don't give no lifts If you see me comin' get out of my way You know a Transam didn't I blew it away She's got wheels, wheels of steel Talkin' 'bout my wheels of steel |

We're gonna stand on our own two feet When people knock us down We're gonna get up off the ground And start all over again Still fit to boogie Still fit to rock and roll Stil fit to boogie Stil fit to rock and roll They struggle you down when you try to get up You can't have doubts in your mind Take the rough with the smooth You got nothing to lose All you need's the will to survive Still fit to boogie Still fit to rock and roll Stil fit to boogie Stil fit to rock and roll Still fit to boogie Still fit to boogie Still fit to boogie Still fit to rock and roll Still fit to boogie Still fit to boogie Still fit to boogie Still fit to rock and roll If you're really feelin' down Take a trip to town And listen to a rock and roll band You'll be rockin' and reelin' Reelin' with the feelin' Still fit to rock and roll, yeah Still fit to rock and roll |

Move in to the front underhanded fire
Hear the bullets flying millions every hour Tracers in the night shooting across the sky For God's sake cover me I don't wanna die Machine gun Machine gun Machine gun Machine gun Over the top into the wire Running like a madman into the fire No-mans land, fighting for your life Fighting hand to hand forced to use your knife Machine gun Machine gun Machine gun Machine gun Come the wheels of terror crushing all before Chews you to the bone to hear the monsters roar With the clash of iron the battles never won For the forgotten soldier it's only just begun Machine gun Machine gun Machine gun Machine gun It's gonna shoot you down Move in to the front underhanded fire Hear the bullets flying millions every hour Tracers in the night shooting across the sky For God's sake cover me I don't wanna die Machine gun Machine gun Machine gun Machine gun Come the wheels of terror crushing all before Chews you to the bone to hear the monsters roar With the clash of iron the battles never won For the forgotten soldier it's only just begun Machine gun Machine gun Machine gun Machine gun Gonna shoot you down |

Ride the silver eagle out of JFK
Up the eastern seaboard destination Portland Maine When we saw the people at the concert hall The seats were for five thousand it made us feel so small Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Stopped off at Niagara taking pictures of the falls Tried to cross the border were accosted by the law People down in Texas from the red hot burning sun They couldn't stand the heatwave but we just kept rollin' on Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Driving into Nashville on the highway interstate Had a holdup on the freeway we end up being late Flew into Chicago but we never heard the blues Played some rock 'n' roll there then down to Batton Rouge Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Fought the vigilante at the end of our first tour We made a lot of friends there we'll see them all next year As we fought the big deadline, oh, we won't forget the days We rode the silver eagle right across the USA Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Midnight rider [Repeat to end] |

Far below the valleys
Hidden deep beneath the snow There's a man who guards the secret Of the frozen rainbow ...of all the ages Lies hidden neath the ice The man who finds the secret Holds the power of life Far below the valleys Hidden deep beneath the snow There's a man who's got a secret Waiting to be told I've searched through all the ages To find the hidden truth The secret of the rainbow Will never be revealed I'll find the rainbow, frozen rainbow I'll find the rainbow, frozen rainbow |

When I went to school
I was nobody's fool No good for me I was living carefree Staying out all night Learning to fight I got the dirty I was tough, I was mean It was up to me Stree-stree-stree-street fighting gang I don't need no spelling I take my winning when I'm ready But you wouldn't be alike When we learn to fight When we start to roam Then you'd better stay home 'Cause I'm a member of the street elite You know it's trouble to all we meet It was up to me Fighting through the night Doing alright We might take your life Street fighting gang Street fighting gang If I take you out one night And you're risking your life If I show you the blade You got a fool in your brain 'Cause I don't give a damn, no 'Cause I don't know you I'm a member of the street elite You know it's trouble to all we meet It was up to me Street fighting gang Street fighting gang I'm in a street fighting gang Street fighting gang I'm in a gang The gang |

Out with the boys
Testing my virility The booze and the music Arrousing my curiousity I moved in beside her Asked her to rock and roll with me Cause I have her classed My eyes roam lecherously Lecherously, lecherously, lecherously She's a big teaser I only see her Very occasionally She's leading me on She's living dangerously It's easy to see She's making a fool out of me Oh but I ain't no fool I'll get her eventually Eventually, eventually, eventually She's a big teaser |

Walking through Tokyo (*)
Visions of the Samurai Walking through Tokyo Looking through the dragon's eye I had a dream about the mighty Shogun Faded visions of the Samurai Mists of silk reflections of the city Dance across the silver blade Silent temples driving my emotions Voices whisper from another time Mystic dreams stretching out before me Take me through the Dragon's eye (Repeat *) I'm drifting slowly on the winds of kamikaze To the emperor on wings of gold Cryptic lessons from a long forgotten city Guard the passage to the inner soul Sacred mountains reaching to the heavens Holds the secret in it's frozen hand Standing proud silent and majestic Casts it's spell far across the land (Repeat *) In my dream I can see the darkness Draws the veil across the painted sky As the Geisha gives on dying pleasure I leave the magic in the land of jade (Repeat *) |

She used to be an iron horse twenty years ago
Used to bring the mail to me through the ice and snow I sat alone and watched her steaming through the night !!! Ninety tons of thunder lighting up the sky She was the princess of the night We saw the writing on the wall She was the princess of the night I'd take a ride across the sky Speeding sparks like lightning, engine working hard Furnace on the footplate shining in the night Iron striking metal the sound of racing steel That's all I ever wanna hear, it's music to my ears !!! She was the princess of the night We saw the writing on the wall She was the princess of the night I'd 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 the princess of the night We saw the writing on the wall She was the princess of the night I'd take a ride across the sky Hello, I made some corrections for you. Im not sure about te ??? marked lines, but I'm sure about the !!! marked lines. Best Regards, Luke |

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 [Repeat to end] |

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 (Repeat to end) And The Bands Played On Just before dawn in the cold light We came out of the night A great expectation from the man who ran the show Will it rain, will it snow, will it shine, we don't know Are there clouds up in the sky We sat in the sun, woah-oh-oh And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on See the people, feel the power There was sixty thousand there Just like thunder the crowds began to roar Where you there, did ya know, did ya see all the show There was magic in the air We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on See the rainbow shining brightly Shooting rockets to the sky Making music and it rolled on through the night You could hear on the air rock n' roll everywhere We were strangers in the night We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on |

Just before dawn in the cold light We came out of the night A great expectation from the man who ran the show Will it rain, will it snow, will it shine, we don't know Are there clouds up in the sky We sat in the sun, woah-oh-oh And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on See the people, feel the power There was sixty thousand there Just like thunder the crowds began to roar Where you there, did ya know, did ya see all the show There was magic in the air We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on See the rainbow shining brightly Shooting rockets to the sky Making music and it rolled on through the night You could hear on the air rock n' roll everywhere We were strangers in the night We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on |

Where were you in '79 when the dam began to burst
Did you check us out down at the local show Were you wearing denim, wearing leather Did you run down to the front Did you queue for your ticket through the ice and snow Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free Did you read the music paper from the back and to the front Did you find out where to see your favorite band Did you listen to the radio every Friday night Did hang around your local record store Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free Do you dream of playing guitar or smashing up the drums Maybe you can learn to play the bass You can always be a singer like me and front the band When on the stage we wait at your command Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free It was you - that set the spirit free It was you - that put us here today It was you - that filled the concert halls It was you - that set the spirit free Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free |
