"The Other Side Of Midnight" dió la vuelta al país a través de la radio FM, que ya estaba consolidada y contaba por lo menos con una emisora que tocaba heavy metal en cualquier ciudad grande. También salió aquí con el sello Bronze.

The Other Side Of Midnight (Box/Daisley/Goalby/Sinclair) Late at night I’ve been knocking On your door Late tonight I’ll be calling You can be sure I’ll be waitin’ Standing in the shadows once again Sneakin’, creepin’ Howling like a tomcat once again Oh there’ll be nowhere you can hide When I take you On the other side of midnight You know I don’t love you But I love what you can do Some more of that hot persuasion This town is just like you Oh, there’ll be nowhere you can hide When I take you On the other side of midnight I’ll be knockin’ The other side of midnight I’ll be callin’ The other side of midnight Knock, knockin’ The other side of midnight I’m gonna take you I’m gonna take you At midnight, at midnight Late at night I’ll be knock knock knockin’ On your door I said late tonight I’ll be callin’ You can be sure I’m gonna take you Oh it’s gonna hurt so good I’m gonna make you do What a bad girl should Stay On Top (Jackson) Everybody got somebody Trying to make you feel real bad Aint’ none of your business Talking but half too bad Be strong of yourself Stand up - walk away Nobody gives a damn for a Single thing you say I’m singing Stay on top - never go under Lightning strikes Boy, you hear the thunder Stay on top - never go under Hold on tight Here comes the thunder Hide money in your pocket Be nobody’s fool Always think of number one That’s my golden rule Take care of business Go for a win at the best Be strong enough to take it Ain’t no need to beg I’m singing Stay on top - never go under Lightning strikes Boy, you hear the thunder Stay on top - never go under Hold on tight Watch out for the thunder Bad times make it right But the good times get too high I can’t stand it I can’t stand it no more Somebody, everybody Trying to make you feel real bad Ain't nobody’s business Talkng but half too bad Be strong of yourself Stand up - walk away Nobody’s gonna listen To a single word you say I’m singing Stay on top - never go under Lightning strikes Boy, you hear the thunder Stay on top - never go under Hold on tight Look out for the thunder Stay on top You’ve got to stay on top Stand up and sing it Stay on top Take care of business Stay on top Lonely Nights (Adams/Vallance) Will you risk your reputation I don’t know You just don’t know what you’re saying Anymore You know beggars can’t be choosers And it’s bad We may win, we may be loosers I don’t care, no no no Oh baby, I just can’t stand Another lonely night So come on over and save me Save me from another lonely night I hear every word you’re saying They’re all lies But with every breath you’re taking You’re thinking of a ways to say goodnight Baby, I just can’t stand Another lonely night So come on over and save me Save me from another lonely night Come on over Come and save me Sweet Talk (Box/Daisley/Goalby/Sinclair) I see your face in The magazine stand I wanna hold you in the palm Of my hands I love everything about you You’re such a long way away Your sweet talk Ain’t enough for me I may be deaf, but you’re Too blind to see You’re gonna break my bones With your feminine tongues I don’t wanna hear Your sweet talk tonight Not again tonight When I call tonight Don’t wanna hear your Sweet talk tonight I hear your voice on the radio It’s got so bad I don’t know Which way to go Why don’t you wake up girl You’re such a long way away Your sweet talk ain’t enough, you see I need a woman ‘Cause you’re a woman to me Love Is Blind (Carbone) I tried to give you love That was ever flowing I tried to give you love That could be so true But you wanted less Than I had to offer What was I to do I tried to ???? I tried to promise dreams That I would make come true But you said that love was A game for children Here I stand, a fool Love is blind Blinded by love You’re all I can see in my eyes My mind says, stop But my heart says go And oh, how it hurts to find It still went to say that Love is blind Love is blind I tell myself if there Was a chance to show you Just how a good love If there could be But love was that You had never given I just couldn’t see I close my eyes to all that You never gave me My heart didn’t wanna see How you played around And how well you showed How wounded love can be Red Lights (Box/Daisley/Goalby/Sinclair) Red lights - on the highway Head lights - blinding my eye Red lights - keep me ready White lights - drive me insane Red lights - in the city Street lights - hide in the night Sunshine - im looking for someone Red lights - young blood’s alright I can’t keep away No no no no way Red lights - she knows what I’m here for Head lights - look me in the eye Red lights - are you looking for danger White lights - drives me insane I can’t keep away No no no no for one day Red lights - no question Street lights - uses her Red lights - body desire White lights - ???

You’ve been so cold for so long This silence is deafening Was I so wrong? This silence is deafening Straight Thru The Heart (Box/Daisley/Goalby/Sinclair) You came on like an angel I didn’t see the evil in your eyes I could see, but I was blinded Oh, believed in lies You hit we with your promises You shot me, I fell to the ground You’re coming’s on tomorrow When I looked, you were Nowhere to be found You set me up right from the start Strip me of my dignity You got me straight through the heart I never did stand a chance You got me straight through the heart You cut me and left me for dead You promised me a heaven Turned out to be but hell all the time The truth that you’re pretending Was just a chorus of lies You set me up right from the start Strip me of my dignity And got me straight through the heart I never did stand a chance You got me straight through the heart You cut me and left me for dead You cut me and left me for dead You came on like an angel Just like an angel You set up You got me straight through the heart I never did stand a chance Got me straight through the heart You cut me, you left me Straight through the heart You never gave any chance Got me straight throught the heart I’m bleedin’, you’re leavin’ Got me straight through the heart Weekend Warriors (Box/Daisley/Goalby/Sinclair) Ten thousand stallions runnin’ wild They dare to race the devil’s charm The race is on, all thunderburn They shed a weep of broken times Wheels turnin’, wheels burnin’ See the eagles fly Weekend warriors Like shining night Of days gone by They’re born again They’ll never die Wheels turnin’, wheels burnin’ See the angels fly Weekend warriors Like silver lighting from the sky These storm could horses thunderburn Playing For Time (Box/Daisley/Goalby/Sinclair) Try, you get a roll of heartacche Hear it and you're with my mind I've played with fire, burned my fingers Now I'm gonna take my time You don't have to shout about it Can't you see it obvious Feel it's getting close to comfort Why you make me search no more Take your time with what you're doin' I can see the stage appear Seized and held it on before her Don't you understand my fear Can't you see the time will tell us How it's gonna always be You can wrap me around your finger And that ain't no mystery Playing for time That's all I can do I'm playing for time Before I fall in love with you You can push me every which way Hey I got no place to pull Yes we'll do no rule devotions When you fax the ace ??? Hold on, that is what the games go And I want the nibble now You can get to dream about it I won't do it anyhow Playing for time That's all I can do Playing for time Before I fall in love Playing for time That's all I wanna do Playing for time Before I fall in love Break it off! Oh you don't have to shout about it Can't you see it obvious Feel it's getting close for comfort Why you make me search your bus Travel down the road of heartache Hear it in your with my mind Played with fire, burned my fingers Now I'm gonna take my time Playing for time Before I fall in love with you Playing for time That's all I want to do Playing for time Before I fall Playing for time All I wanna do Playing for time (vocal ad lib to end).
