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 |

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 |

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 |

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. |

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 |

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 |

I'm a soldier of fortune
I'm trained and I'm ready to kill Put me in battle I follow the sound of the gun And give me an order At many I will fire at will I got no emotions I'm living with the thunder and steel I don't hear lies All I hear are your battle cries I'm a soldier of fortune I'm trained and I'm ready to die To the power and the glory Raise your glasses high To the power and the glory Be with me tonight A cold death awaits me tonight If I stumble or fall My friends lay around me Bodies all tattered and torn But mine is not to reason why Mine is just to do or die To the power and the glory Raise your glasses high To the power and the glory Be with me tonight Can you feel the power Can you feel the glory Can you feel the power Can you feel the glory Can you feel the power Is it with you tonight I'm fighting for freedom I'm safe, I've got God on my side With what poisoned rights Can you justify your battle hymn The general says we'll win the war Just sacrifice a thousand more To the power and the glory Raise your glasses high To the power and the glory Be with me tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight To the power and the glory Raise your glasses high To the power and the glory Be with me tonight Tonight |

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 (Repeat *) |

We've been out in the cold
Trying to get in We've been ripped off and rolled Heads in a spin Nothing can stop us breaking through Finding our way back home to you Standing alone in the fight You've never been out of our sight We're back on the streets again We're back on our feet again Out of the night Into the light We're back on our feet again We're back, we're back on the streets again We're back, we're back on the streets again Caught in a crossfire No-one can win They bled off the power Our spirit within Standing our ground We're digging in This time round We're gonna win The banners are flying high We're reaching for the sky We're back on the streets again We're back on our feet again Out of the night Into the light We're back on our feet again We're back, we're back on the streets again We're back, we're back on the streets again |

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 |
