Star
Walkin alone at night in the cold rain
Wondrin if I will see you again
In some corner light
Runnin down the road in the warm sun
Dreaming that I am still the one
Resting by your side
You took the road to fortune and fame
Your name in lights
I want you to know I still feel the same
Star, I still love you
I still love you
Remembering when you played me that first song
The first show that you asked me along
Just to be around
Workin so hard till you got that first break
You said you could turn them around
Give them something new
You took the road to fortune and fame
Your name in lights
I want you to know I still feel the same
Star, I still love you
I still love you
Got that photograph of you and me
I hear your voice on the radio
Will I ever lay with you again
Nobody planned it we just seemed to drift now
I always seem to have to leave
Just as you come around
But someday soon girl I just got to see
I just gotta find out
If we still have time
Chorus:

May The Sunshine
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
Someone woke me up again last night
Talkin to me about my last time
Dont tell me I know its late
Please, please lay me down a line
Pick me up before I start to fall
Never let your dreams grow small
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
Talkin to my lover, she was out
It was independence day
Dont be nervous , you can hold me tight
Someone turned the light out on the stairs
Was it just the wind I heard
Just another helping hand
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
Take me back down the yellow brick road
Let me get my ticket to your heart
Strangers hidin on my land
Could it be its keepin me apart
Give me time dont you gimme no love
Let the sunshine in your heart

Claim To Fame
What gives you this crazy thought
That you can talk to my woman
Whats your claim to fame
What gives you half a mind
To even think her name
Whats your claim to fame?
Whats your name?
Gonna give you just one more chance
To make amends to my woman
You got yourself to blame
Only thing thats left to do
Is to think real hard about what youre gonna do
About your crazy game
Whats your name?
Whats your name?
Who the hell do you think you are?
Whats your game?
Are you some top of the pops star?
What gives you this crazy thought
That you think you can talk to my woman
Whats your claim to fame?
What gives you half a mind
To even think her name
Whats your claim to fame?
Whats your name?

Whats In It For Me
You want me to be your friend
Stick by you through thick or thin
Whats in it for me

Youd like me to deal you in
Hold your hand right to the end
Whats in it for me

You want me to be your friend

No Mean City
Stopped in fright at a traffic light
Red eyes staring me out
Strange feelings comin' down tonight
Can't quite figure it out
Fit your alibi before your crime
No need in serving no time
Case you scam, or you'll get rammed
Stretched out on that line
Hangin' out at a shooting site
Cold turkey calling a tune
All the answers coming late tonight
Try to look like you're immune
In your eyes you can feel the heat
But the feelings outa touch
You're working on just a holding on
You're hurtin' oh so much
Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?
Call off your dogs 'cause i am no fox
Turn off your white light
My alibi is rock tight
Your night stick, cheap trick is pullin' me in
Your monkey suit, stage fright, black and white blue suit, law suit
Is wearin', mighty thin
Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?
Borstal boy laughing at justice now he's a star
And the perfume he wore lingers on the king's road
Like a whore
Legs wrapped around a plastic stool
He's making more in one day
Than you've had.......hot, hot dinners
Call out your legions, the savior is loose
Telling true stories you know that ain't no use
Your empire is burning you can feel the smell
Your hot rod , space pod, tax relief, kill machine
Is looking mean
And should be working well
Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?

And if I try to find a reason
For all the things I do
Would you try to understand , the way I am
And how I care for you
Would you give me your undivided attention
And the benefit of your doubt?
Ooh!, ooh!

Just To Get Into It
I know that she dont like me
She knows that I dont care
I could mistreat and bad mouth that woman
Turn around and shed be there
She aint got no pride she dont even try to hide
What she does
Its a buzz
To be seen in your limosine
Shell do strange bedroom scenes
She likes rockn roll, she would give her all
Just to get into it
Her heads full of rock n roll dreams
Shes exactly what she seems
She likes rock n roll, she would give her all
Just to get into it
Hangin around hotel bars
Droppin someones name
Usin those lines that you heard before
Playin the same old games
She aint got no style
Eyes that never smile
Feel like youre on trial
She aint worth while
To be seen in your limosine
Shell do strange bedroom scenes
She likes rock n roll, she would give her all
Just to get into it
Her heads full of rocknn roll dreams
Shes exactly what she seems
She likes rock n roll, she would give her all
Just to get into it
She wants to interview
Says the world should know your views
With someone you can see right through
Shes just comin on
Tryin to pretend that its
Just a yawn
Ah, come on

Expect No Mercy
If youre ready for the street
You wanna mix it in some fight
Let me tell you somethin
Now I dont wanna get you uptight
But if youre in a corner
And you cant find no way out
Dont look around for no help
No, no there wont be any around
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
So you think you got a case
And you think you know the score
No you dont wanna listen
You cant be told no more
But waitll you get out there
You better do it right
cause the streets are lined with things that kill
And theyre hidin in the night
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Feel that you can cut it
You think you got the time
Theyll only give you one chance
Better get it right first time
And the game youre playing
If you lose you gotta pay
If you make just one wrong move
Youll get blown away
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy

Locked up on monday
Lord I lost my way
I couldnt breathe her name
You know shes after my life
Lately Im stickin to drinkin
And Im headed down desolation road
Habit -a- growin
Set it up just right
I do away my life
On a turn of the dice
Lately Im runnin and hidin
Slidin down desolation road

No one to turn to
Losing my best friend
My name is just bad news
And my accounts in the red
Im in need of understandin
Im landin in desolation road

All The Kings Horses
I know you
You always rode so tall in the saddle
You are the answer
But I know that you are only causin trouble
Take all you want, leave me the rest behind
Youre a user
A winnin no new friends, just make one small step
Youre a user
You never came to anyones call
Spent all your life head on the wall
While youre up there, theres only one way to fall
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Will never put you together again
You still got your chances
The one thing the whole world loves is a winner
You cant walk on water
With your heat the ice youre on is gettin thinner
You used to be so wise
But you are fooled by your own lies
And I see right through your disguise
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Will never put you together again
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Will never put you together again.

Clever girl, never girl
Talkin bout love

Party invitations you dont find it hard
Lovers to burn

Talkin bout love, talkin bout love

When your hearts on fire for me

Fame And Fortune
Sittin' in the back of a limousine, feelin' just like a king
All the girls come runnin' to you, you're the latest thing
Sittin' up there at the top of the charts, lookin' like Mr. Cool
You take all the money, steal their hearts, they'll come runnin' to you
Your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
All your fame and your fortune, you better take a look around
With your fame and your fortune, careful who you talk to
Or the fame and your fortune, watch it all tumble down, yeah, oh listen now
Now you're lookin' for inspiration, somethin' to say
When you find that it don't come easy, you find them running away
You had it all in the palm of your hand, and let it slip away
You made it big, ooh so big, and then you threw it all away
All your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
Fame and your fortune, hey you better take another look
At your fame and your fortune, it set you up, then it caught you
Fame and your fortune, surely gonna let you down, hey tell me now
(Solo)
All your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
Take your fame and your fortune, wait and take a look around
For your fame and your fortune, who do you talk to
'Bout your fame and your fortune, as it all comes tumbling down
Fame and your fortune, fame and your fortune, yes all come tumbling down
Fame and your fortune, fame and your fortune, all comes tumbling down...

Revenge is sweet and I cant wait
Walk down the street, girl dont be late
Now I dont want your sympathy
So dont go sheddin no tears
For evry wrong that you did to me
Ill give you back in fear
Now its too late for apologies
Youve been thru this trick before
A million lies that you laid on me
You knocked me down on the floor
Im gonna get you back

Its a grudge Ill nurse
Ill pay you back in kind, youll find
You had the chance to put things right
But you preferred to be cruel
Im sick of pleadin on my knees
Im tired of watchin you drool

Turn The Page
On a long and lonesome highway, east of omaha.
You can listen to the engine moaning out its one lone song
You can think about woman, or the girl you knew the night before,
But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do.
When your riding sixteen hours and theres nothing much to do
And you dont feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through.
Say, here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage.
Here I go, playing star again.
There I go, turn the page.
Well you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road,
You can feel the eyes upon you as your shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesnt bother you, but you just want to explode.
Most times you cant hear em talk, other times you can.
Oh the same old cliche, as that woman on her a man
You always see my number, you dont dare make a stand.
Here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage.
Here I go, playing star again.
There I go, turn the page.
Out there in the spotlight your a million miles away,
Every ounce of energy, you try and give away,
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play.
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed,
With the echo from the amplifiers ringing in your head,
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said.
Now here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage.
Here I go, playing star again.
There I go, turn the page.
Here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage.
Ah here I go, playing star again.
There I go, there I go.

New York Broken Toy
She came from new york
Seems like a bright spark
Knew all the answers to the game
Moved to a new town
Soon pushed her way around
But youre a lady just the same
She went the wrong way
Tryin to catch that boy
He only used her
Then broke her like a toy
Like a new york broken toy
Moved with the wrong pack
Hard headed, well stacked
Drop her guard if you drop her name
Made all the wrong moves
Knew all the lines to use
Too many got burned in her flame
She went the wrong way
Tryin to catch that boy
He only used her
Then he broke her like a toy
Like a new york broken toy
Since the news got around
Someone I brought up town
Needed a friend but no one came
She tried to change her views
But still she wasnt bad news
Dont ever lose at your own game
She went the wrong way
Tryin to catch that boy
He only used her
Then he broke her like a toy
Like a new york broken toy.

Fast Cars
Fast cars,
She lives at the best hotels
Big stars,
She knows them all so well
Lost loves,
Shes had more than just a few
Wrong moves,
She can afford more than you
She dont know, what real love is
Shes always had, second best
She dont know, what real love is
Shes always had second best.
Headlines,
Shes been there once or twice
Feeling fine
She has forgotten the price
She dont know, what real love is
Shes always had second best
She dont know, what real love is

Oh, my heart is tellin me,
Oh, I better put a move on.

And how her I love her.

Fortune of the night.
And oh, Im really movin now cause,
Oh, I would feel like a fool, yeah,
If she got away.
Theyd only say the rumors would truly be true, yeah,

I waited to call you mine.
And you got to know it.

Kentucky Fried Blues
I got no time to eat
I got no time to sleep
I got a truck full of stuff
Shouldve been there last week
Ive been livin in truck stops
My body feels used
Got the hamburger thats right, yeah
The kentucky fried blues
Flyin high in my cab
Got my foot on the gas
Got to get there tonight
Showin nothin but a pass
Tired of livin in truck stops, have mercy
My body feels used
Got the hamburger, thats right, yeah
Kentucky fried blues
Even in the fast lane
Seems to slow down my brain
Got one hell of a deadline
Riggers do not complain
Tired of livin in truck stops
Lord my body feels used
Got the hamburger thats right yeah, yeah, yeah
Kentucky fried blues.

I was tryin to forget someone I had been losin
Then you came along, surprise, surprise
You shot me down
I was lyin crashed out on the ground
You shot me down
I was feelin fine, mellowed out and easy
I was comin back down kinda slow and lazy
Then you came along and fired the flame
You shot me down
I was lyin burned out on the ground
You shot me down, you shot me down
