Paul Rodgers

In the year of 39
assembled here the Volunteers
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out
into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day sailed
across the milky seas
Ne'er looked back
never feared never cried
Don't you hear my call though
you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that
our grandchildren knew

In the year of 39
came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news
of a world so newly born
Though their hearts
so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey
little darlin' we'll away
But my love this cannot be
For so many years have gone though
I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes from
your eyes cry to me
Don't you hear my call though
you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that
our grandchildren knew

All the letters in the sand
cannot heal me like your hand
For my life
Still ahead
Pity Me

I was told a million times
Of all the troubles in my way
Tried to grow a little
wiser little better ev'ry day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Bread and butter for a smile
Well I sold a million mirrors
In a shop in Alley Way
But I never saw my face
In any window any day
Well they say your
folks are telling you
To be a superstar
But I tell you just be satisfied
To stay right where you are
Keep yourself alive
keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your
time and a money
Honey you'll survive

Well I've loved a million women
In a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners
Brought to me on silver trays
Give me everything I need
To feed my body and my soul
And I'll grow a little bigger
Maybe that can be my goal
I was told a million times
Of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying
And get better ev'ry day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Same as when I started
Keep yourself alive
keep yourself alive
It'll take you all
your time and a money
Honey you'll survive

Keep yourself alive
keep yourself alive
It'll take you all
your time and a money
Keep me satisfied

Keep yourself alive
keep yourself alive
It'll take you all
your time and a money
keep yourself alive
keep yourself alive
keep yourself alive
money people
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
keep yourself alive
It'll take you all
your time and a money
Keep me satisfied
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
money people
Keep yourself alive

Sleeping very soundly on a Saturday morning
I was dreaming I was Al Capone
There's a rumour going round, gotta clear outta town I'm smelling like a dry fish bone
Here come the Law, gonna break down the door, gonna carry meaway once more
Never, never, never get it any more
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor

Crazy
Stone cold crazy, you know

Rainy afternoon I gotta blow a typhoon and
I'm playing onmy slide trombone
Anymore, anymore, cannot take it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor

Crazy
Stone cold crazy, you know

Walking down the street shooting people that
I meet withmy rubber tommy water gun
Here come the deputy, he's gonna come and
getta me I gotta get me get up and run
They got the sirens loose
I ran outa juice
They're gonna put me in a cell, if I can't go to heaven Will they let me go to hell

Crazy
Stone cold crazy, you know

Steve walks warily down the street,
with the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, Are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm going to get along,
without you, when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had,
and kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Chorus

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he's down
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
repeating the sound of the beat

You and me are destined
You'll agree
To spend the rest of our lives with each other
The rest of our days like two lovers
For ever-yeah-for ever
My bijou

Ain't got no hope
Got no idea
What to do
Or why I'm here
Wanna get my face
On your TV

Ain't got nothin'

Nothin' to show
Make me a c-lebrity

Then you can see
I'm a c-lebrity

I wanna get my features
In magazines
See this creature on every street
On every screen
Write my life story
Before I'm twenty one
I got to tell the world
They may say I'm dumb but er

Ain't got nothin'

Nothing
Nothing to show
Make me a c-lebrity

I want to be
A face on TV
(I wanna be on your screen)
Then you can see

I wanna be a star
In a Broadway musical
They're gonna love me
I can't sing or dance at all
Some may say I'm lackadaisical
And if I was real good
I'd stand no chance at all
I want to be
A face on TV
(Yeah I wanna be on your screen)
Then you can see
I'm a c-lebrity
Then you can say
You knew me one day
Then you will see
I'm a c-lebrity

Wanna be a c c c-lebrity
Make my dream come true
C c-lebrity
Wanna be a c c c c-lebrity

This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready, crazy little thing called love

This thing (this thing) called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby), In a cradle all night
It swings (woooh woooh), It jives (woooh woooh)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish, I kind of like it
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby, she knows how to Rock'n'Roll
She drives my crazy, she gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat
I gotta be cool relax, get hip!
Get on my track's, take a back seat
Hitch hike, and take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready, crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool relax get hip!
Get on my track's, take a back seat
Hitch hike, and take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready (ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love...

Are you gonna take me home tonight
Ah down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls
You make the rocking world go round

I was just a skinny lady
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew life before
I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat Fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman you made
a ashole out of me

I've been singing with my band
Across the wire across the land
I seen every blue eyed floozy
on the way But their beauty
and their style Went kind of
smooth after a while
Take me to them dirty ladies
every time
Oh you gonna take me home tonight
Oh down beside your red firelight
Oh you gonna give it all you got
Fat bottomed girls you make
the rocking world go round
Fat bottomed girls you make
the rocking world go round

i got mortgages and homes
I got stiffness in the bones
Ain't no beauty queens
in this locality
Oh but I still get my pleasure
Still got my greatest treasure
Heap big woman you gonna make
out of me
Oh you gonna take me home tonight
Oh down beside your red firelight
Oh you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls you make
the rocking world go round
girls you make
the rocking world go round
Get on your bikes and ride

God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!

Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen!

Here we stand or here we fall
History won′t care at all
Make the bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won′t be home tonight.

You don′t waste no time at all
Don′t hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
We′re just waiting
For the hammer to fall

Oh every night, and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face, the Western Way --
Build your muscles as your body decays.

Tow the line and play their game
Let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
You know it′s time for the Hammer to Fall.

Rich or poor or famous for
Your truth it′s all the same
Lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane
Baby now your struggle′s all vain.

For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the Mushroom Cloud
Convinced our voices can′t be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder

What the hell are we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won′t hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
While you′re waiting for the Hammer to Fall.

Adventure seeker
on an empty street
Just an alley creeper
light on his feet
A young fighter screaming
no time for doubt
With the pain and anger
can't see a way out
It ain't much I'm asking

The machine of a dream
such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumpin
and the hubcaps all gleam
When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When my hands on your grease gun
Oh it's like a disease son
I'm in love with my car
gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip
on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill
when your radias squeal
Told my girl
I just had to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburettor
So she made tracks sayin
this is the end now
Cars don't talk back
they're just four wheeled
friends now

When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruisin' in overdrive
Don't have to listen to no run
of the mill talk jive
I'm in love with my car
gotta feel for my automobile
I'm in love with my car
string back gloves
in my automobile

Love of my life
You've hurt me
You've broken my heart
And now you leave me
Love of my life
Can't you see
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know what it means to me

Love of my life
Don't leave me
You've taken my love, you now desert me
Love of my life
Can't you see
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know what it means to me

You will remember when this is blown over
And everything's all by the way -
When I grow older
I will be there at your side
To remind you how I still love you
I still love you

Back, hurry back
Please bring it back home to me
Because you don't know what it means to me
Love of my life
Love of my life

A dream of sweet illusion
A glimpse of hope and unity

The harder we play

When we think that we know it all
We know nothing at all

The letter arrives
Like a bolt from the blue
So what's left of your lives
All your dreams lost to you

Say it ain't true
Say it today
When I open my eyes
Will it all go away

Say it's not true
Say it's not real
Can't be happenin' to you
Can't be happenin' to me

It's hard not to cry
It's hard to believe
So much heartache and pain
So much reason to grieve

With the wonders of science
All the knowledge we've stored
Magic cocktails for lives
People just can't afford

Say it's not true
You can say it's not right
So hard to believe
The size of the crime

Say it's not true
You can say it's not right
So hard to believe
The size of the crime

Say
Say it's not real
Could be happenin' to you

Say it's not true
Say it's not right
Hard to believe
The size of the crime

Say it's not true
Say it's not real
Could be happenin' to you
Could be happenin' to me
