David Byron Solo Albums

He wanted to go to the sun, he wanted to swim in the rain
He wasted his time drinking whisky and wine
But now he's come back again.

He's tried so hard to forget, what others would make him regret
But if I were he I'd listen to me
And keep myself in my head
Keep myself in my head, keep myself in my head
Keep myself in my head, keep myself in my head.

A man full of yesterdays, climbing the ladder once again
But he can feel the strain
He's got to make it through forget the mistakes of his youth.

He's tried so hard to forget, what others would make him regret
But if I were he I'd listen to me
And keep myself in my head.

He wanted to go to the sun, he wanted to swim in the rain
He wasted his time drinkin' whisky and wine
But now he's come back again.
He's come back again, he's come back again,
He's come back again, he's come back again,
A man full of yesterdays, climbing the ladder once again
But he can feel the strain
A man full of yesterdays, climbing the ladder once again
But he can feel the strain
He's come back again.

Sweet Rock 'n Roll thrill me to my soul,
Sweet Rock 'n Roll thrill me to my soul

When I was a kid, doing the things I did
I'd hear the music playing
On the radio, on the D.J. show
I'd hear the jockey saying,
Here's a song that'll turn you on
You ain't heard nothing like it
It's the latest thing, make you wanna sing
I'd knew I'd have to try it.
Sweet Rock 'n Roll thrill me to my soul,
Make my life whole,
Sweet Rock 'n Roll thrill me to my soul,
Make my life whole.

Now that I'm a man doing the best I can
Singin' rock music
It's the same old beat, gets them on their feet
I guess they'll always choose it
It's nothing new but Lord it's true
We can't do without it
It's my life and that is why, I've really got to shout it
Sweet Rock 'n Roll thrill me to my soul,
Make my life whole, make my life whole,
Sweet Rock 'n Roll, thrill me to my soul, make my life whole
And when I'm down, I hear that sound that takes me higher
Sweet Rock 'n Roll thrill me to my soul.

Sing me a song about love and affection
While I'm driving alone in my car
Sing me a song about a cool reception
When you think you're being bizarre
Just keep on going till the end of the day
And work yourself up untill the sweat is running down your face
The feelin' of it all is there to be found
So while you're all sitting around we're just steaming along
Steamin' along.

It's just across town to a knee high dive
Where everybody's jumpin' about
The temperature gets to about one O'five
But nobody's trying to get out
The guitar's blazing like a bolt from the sky
And everybody looks like they're kinda naturally high
So come on in if you feel in the mood, but let's make it understood
We're just steamin' along
Steamin' along.

Just looking around the sky
And trying to reason why
The feeling is right for someone to appear
He's never been seen before
But he's somewhere out there I'm sure
And he talks in a whisper that most don't even hear

A silver white man on a silver white horse
And I think that I'm going to meet him
A silver white man on a silver white horse
And I'll hope I'll be able to greet him

He watches us night and day
Whatever we do or say
His only concern is rightning all the wrong
But because of the way they decreed
He must stay on his silver white steed
And try to find out the people who belong

The silver white man on a silver white horse
And I hope that he's' coming to see me
A silver white man on a silver white horse
And I hope he'll be able to see me

When I'm crying, it means I'm trying
Not to miss you more with each single day
'Cause with some sorrow, maybe tomorrow
I can love you in a whole different way
It's the only way for me to learn, just sit and watch the others burn
Then we can share the game of life and love

Try to sing, try to sing, try to sing, our Love Song
Try to sing, try to sing, try to sing, our Love Song

Can you hear it comin' in the midnight sky
Can you hear it running
Feel it getting nearer, in the cold night air
Can you feel the fear there

It's the midnight flyer, so you'd best beware
It's the midnight flyer

Can you feel the power takin' you away
It's the darkest hour
Ain't no use in fightin', you might just as well give in
It's as fast as lightning

It's the midnight flyer, so you'd best, you'd best beware
It's the midnight flyer

Give him a chance and he'll steal your soul
Give him a glance and your blood runs cold
You can run, you can hide, but you know deep inside that you'll ride
The midnight flyer

Oh well the week is over and the weekend's here
I can almost taste that ice cold beer
I ain't so tall but I'm really high
When you see me on a Saturday night

We got a gallon jar for the ride to town
We'll hit those bars before the sun goes down
We ain't so tall but we're really high
When you see us on a Saturday night

And when the bars are closed we're on to Farmer Joe's
You ought to see us when we dozy doe
He's got the finest pickers in the land
Everybody's heard of Joe's good time band

And those country girls are just known everywhere
But leave me the one with the yellow hair
She ain't so tall but she really gets high
When you see her on a Saturday night
She's all right

I'm speeding on a roller-coaster
And I've got my ticket to ride
I'm dreaming on a roller-coaster
And I'm looking for somewhere to hide
'Cause when you get left flat by a woman like that
The heat that was sweet is just another nail into your heart
But I had to get smart

I'm riding to a destination
And I don't care where I'm gonna go
I'm riding to another station
Ain't taking no one in tow
'Cause when you get left flat by a woman like that
The heat that was sweet is just another nail into your heart
But I had to get smart

I never bothered with a bottle by my side
I never bothered while that woman was still my prize
But filled with booze one night I took to using a gun
Now the only thing left for me to do is run

Girl, do you think I'm blind
That I don't know what is going on
Huh - let me tell you something
I know who's calling 'round when I'm gone
Now some men you can fool them
'Cause they just won't open up their eyes
But me, I'd rather face facts
Than to live a life that's a lie

Baby baby baby baby baby
Don't you know you're causing me pain
You'd better stop right there, think what you're doing
Our love's in ruins again

I've told you, time and time before
You got to quit your messing around
'Cause I ain't gonna go on
Being your plaything, just like a clown
So baby, if you don't want me
Don't please don't leave me lying in the dirt
'Cause I ain't gonna take it
If you keep acting the big town flirt

So I said baby baby baby baby baby
Don't you know you're causing me pain
You'd better stop right there, think what you're doing
Our love's in ruins again

Ain't many places to hide, it's almost too long to remember
This cowboy's had a long ride and he yells out Mr. Bartender
Hit me with a white one on the rocks, and treat yourself for a double
I'm looking for a man in these parts 'cause I own him plenty of trouble
We used to ride the banks and the trains till someone filled my guts full of lead
And when he saw those ugly stains I guess he kinda left me for dead
So hit me with a white one, I'm gonna need my throat warm and wet
Hit me with a white one, I'm gonna need all the help I can get
I gotta get even,
I gotta get even,
I gotta get even.

We grew up in a bad part of town, we both decided to do it together
We promised Ma we'd never let her down
We didn't say how we didn't want to upset her
But what he did wasn't right 'cause it was me he was leavin'
Bartender, if you see him tonight, just tell him that I want to get even
Hit me with a white one, I'm gonna need my throat warm and wet
Hit me with a white one, I'm gonna need all the help I can get
Bartender just give me one more
I don't need no help from your law
I've waited a long time to get to this place
Now I wanna meet that man face to face
Just one more white one, that'll be all I need
Then I'll sneak off into the night and do my deadly deed

I've given my life, to a band on the road,
I made my mistakes, and maybe they showed,
But I live for today, 'cause tomorrow's far away,
And when it comes around, I won't know.

For everyday there's been change, and I would not rearrange,
Any moment, for the happiness in store,
'Cause I dig rock n' roll, Presley, Cochran, love 'em all,
And you got no feeling if you can't yell out for more.

Ain't got nothing if you ain't got soul,
Ain't got nothing till you rock n' roll,
Ain't got nothing, ain't got nothing,
Less you get up and rock n' roll.

Did you ever love somebody, who never tried to share,
Did you ever talk to someone, who really didn't hear,
Did you ever stop to think, is it all in vain,
Did you ever love and lose, again and again.
YOu gave my life meaning,
Made me stop leaning, on everyone,
But I'll prove my feelings,
Spend my life, looking for you,
Spend my life, looking for you,
Spend my life, looking for you,
Spend my life, looking for you.

When you'd gone I got to thinking, what the hell I'd done,
And like a stone that's skinking, I was losing everyone,
I tried every single way, to get you off my mind,
But those years of loving smiles, are something you can't buy,
That's why I called on the phone,
Hoping, praying, that you'd be home,
And it was like you'd never been gone.
When you whispered in my ear, I was
Hopeing you'd say that,
Help me to stay back,
I've learned a lesson that I'll never forget
Spend my life, looking for you,
Spend my life, looking for you,
Spend my life, looking for you.

Velvet lady, you're cool as ice,
I'll take no chances, just play my dice,
Now if I'm winning, I'll slide across my key,
Go and cash my chips in, I love to gamble you see.
That's how I keep my lady, keep my lady, keep my lady,
Under lock and key.

If she's a rocker, you better rock n' roll,
But if she's a listener, you gotta get right down to her soul,
But whatever you do boy,
Show her you're sincere,
And with your strength of mind,
You ain't got nothing to fear,
That's how you'll keep your lady, keep your lady, keep your lady,
Under lock and key.

Sailing awy, leaving today,
On a midnight honeymoon,
I'm so glad, you're happy.

Sailing away, starting today,
We'll be together soon,
I'm so glad, you make me happy.

'Cross the sea I hear our favorite song,
Telling me, we're getting closer now,
I feel at ease, I know it won't be long,
So hold on, 'cause I love you.

Ain't nothing to do, just lay here with you,
On a midnight afternoon,
I'm so glad, you're happy.

'Cause when you give me your heart,
The waters will part,
And we'll sink into the great unknown,
We'll both be glad, we made us happy.

'Cross the sea I hear our favorite song,
Telling me, we're getting closer now,
I feel at ease, I know it won't be long,
So hold on, 'cause I love you.

Sailing away leaving today,
On a midnight honeymoon,
I'm so glad, you're happy,
'Cause when you give me your heart,
The waters will part, and we'll sink into the great unknown.
We'll both be glad, we made us happy.

'Cross the sea I hear our favorite song,
Telling me, we're getting closer now,
I feel at ease, I know it won't be long,
So hold on, 'cause I love you.

Are you feeling like you're ready to go,
Stick around 'cause you're part of our show.
Come on, come on.
You make us feel so good,
Grab that Diamond lady, you've been trying to find,
And move move move,
You gotta get the bull by the horns.

Let's go, pass around that wine,
Smoke a number you'll be feeling fine,
Come on, come on,
Together we can feel like one,
If you try real hard what you want can be yours,
So move move move,
And get the bull by the horns.

I can feel you standing near me,
I can smell your sweet perfume,
Driftin' slowly, driftin' slowly,
Across the room,
I would love to come and meet you,
But each time I try to move,
I get so scared.

I ain't never seen a woman,
Who has filled me with such fear,
Other voices turn to echoes,
But yours is clear,
To just say hello, should be so easy,
But each time I try to move,
I get so scared.

It takes an honest man, to admit when he's wrong,
I thought by roaming around on my own, I could prove I was strong,
But the long cold nights told me one thing for sure,
Made me miss my women all the more,
But she'd said hobo, hobo, get out of here, get out of here,
Hobo, hobo, get out of here, get out of here.

You get to miss the moans, when they get carried away,
I neeeded that moemnt and I knew there was only one way,
I walked into a bar, asked a soak where to score,
He pointed to a lady standing right by the door,
But she said, hobo, hobo, get out of here, get out of here,
Hobo, hobo, get out of here, get out of here.

I knew that I'd made a mistake when I'd said goodbye,
And now I was paying the price, and the costs were high,
So I went back to my women to apologize,
Asked if I could come back, and with tears in her eyes,
She said, hobo, hobo, come inside, come inside,
Hobo, hobo, come inside, come inside.

A few of the good things in life,
Can make you feel fine,
But a little too much, and you're waiting at the end of the line.

A real bad woman,
Can be as bitter as a bad red wine,
Send you beggin', cryin', dying to the end of the line.

But I've served my time and now it's past,
I've learned my lesson and I learned it fast,
There ain't no no no no way, I'm going back to that line.

Talk is cheap and words can be unkind,
But a twisted tongue's your only friend at the end of the line.

But if you see the red light, and turn away in time,
You can smile 'cause you beat the denial, and that's the end of the line.

But I've served my time and now it's past,
I've learned my lesson and I learned it fast,
There ain't no no no no way, I'm going back to that line.

I will give you lace and diamond
If that's how it has to be
Shower you with my affections
Be a runjack constantly
If you think that you can lose me
You are in a world of hurt
'Cause given just the smallest moment
I will surely steal your heart

I am aware that I don't compare
To magazine bands as it's never beware
But don't let me in
'Cause really I'm a baby faced killer
Don't be surprised when
I look in your eyes
If image is changin'
The shape and the size
'Cause you're under the spell
The spell of the baby faced killer

I would like to be a spider
Hanging from your bedroom wall
Watching you go through your motions
Seeing you with feel you all
But I am me, a mortal
And I have no such disguise
So I'll have to use the power
That exists within my eyes

Here she comes again
Without a steady guy
Will she look at me will she pass me by
I ain't got no money it's a crying shame
'Cause if I don't win this time
I got myself to blame
She'll let you kiss and mess around
Provided that she spreads
Her weight around

'Cause she's a rich man's lady
And I ain't got a dime
As she's a rich man's lady
And have to pass her off this time

Should I take the chance
Should I say hello
Would I look a fool
Will she turn and go
I'd really like to know her
'Cause she's really fine
But as I'm stone broke
I doubt if she will be mine
That's the way the story goes
She's really into money and it shows

Sleepless nights ...

Sleepless nights
Are catching up on me
Sleepless nights
I'm tired as I can be
Since you've been gone
I find I've lost my piece of mind
And I know I'm worn, unwind
Sleepless nights

I've tried to reason why I'm all alone
I'm sure we'll work it out
If you'd come home
And then if you were sure
If it could work out just once more
You could slam the door
And leave me sleepless nights

I can remember a love so fine
But then I went and messed around
And lost the only love I'll ever find

When the sound of the drums
Is as dark as the sky
Dancers are moving
So fast they can fly
I just sit all alone on a natural high
With the African breeze

Fever is coming and
Eyes getting blazed
The smell of the night sets
The whole place ablaze
Sit all alone, casually gaze
With the African breeze

On the African breeze
African breeze

I can smell, I can feel
The African night and my senses
Are reaching a new kind of high
And I know that the feeling
I'm getting is right
With the African breeze

This morning is easing me
Out of the spell
Got the African breeze
It's been feeling so well
I can return with a story to tell
Of the African breeze

I left you standing there
At gate number 27
Trying to find the perfect words to say
See, I've got to be in Phoenix and
I simply cannot find the time to stay

I am a rock 'n' roller
And it takes a lot to boil me over
But you came along and
Turned me upside down
Just holding hands, biding lips
Is moving me so much
Shakes the ground

But it will be all right
When I call you late tonight
You can say the things
That it's hard to say right now
Yes, it will be all right
Just look at that star
That's shining bright
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be
Everybody's star but my heart
Will be right there with you
Where you are

My occupation makes it difficult
To say when I'll be free
To do whatever comes along
See, I'm half-blinded by the lights
That pick me out so bright
When I sing my song

I do my gig each night
And most of the time I get it right
So the people want to
See me back again
So please don't tell nobody
That this rock 'n' roll is
Driving me insane

'Cause tonight I'm gonna be
Everybody's star but my heart
Will be right there with you
Where you are

I woke up cold this morning
To see another rainy day
And as I stopped my yawnin'
I wished that I could get away
There's nothing left to live for
Or that's the way it seems to be
You coud have tried to give more
But that's the way it had to be

Am I in Heaven, am I in Hell
Am I in Heaven, or am I in Hell

I had to make my mind up
But I just could not find my way
'Cause every door I opened
Just led me back to my dismay
Here comes another evening
And I have yet to win the fight
The question's never answered
It's either lost or out of sight

Am I in Heaven or am I in Hell ...
Where am I ? ...

Hey, each time I see you cry
I really wish that I could
Somehow get it through
Untrue to you

Hey, I'd like to let you know
It hurts each time you go
And so it really goes to show

Only you can do it
Make me laugh and cry
Only you can do it
So what's the reason why oh why ...

Say, I really wish you would
The kind just like you should
'Cause I can't explain the way
I feel for you

Say, would you consider this
To leave without your kiss
Would be a livin' misery

'Cause only you can do it
Make me laugh and cry
Only you can do it
So what's the reason why oh why ...

I've been lookin' around and
I think that I've found a little lady
With her feet on the ground
'Cause in a world of
Ever-changing times you need
Someone to pull you through
When nothing rhymes

'Cause it's a hard fightin'
Sometimes frightenin' world we're in
So every now and then
And luck becomes a friend
Somebody the truth can believe in

So don't let me down
Now that I've found that I love you
Love you
Don't let me down
I'm working for no one above you
I've been waiting for
A long, long time
The horror of the past ???
To lay it on the line
So don't let me down
This time around

I've been crazy to think
That we couldn't go wrong
We'll have to see
If we can both get along
The only thing to do
Is really try and make
The future bright for you and I

'Cause it's a hard fightin'
Sometimes frightenin' world we're in
But I believe in you and know
We'll make it through
'Cause I know that we're
Right for each other

Well, she's a dirty little lady
With an evil eye
And she gets a little crazy
When she's feeling hot
She walks into backs ???
And burns to the armor windows
Just for the fun
She leans everybody
Laying on the ground and
Tiptoes out of town

Acetylene Jean
She's gonna set you aflame
Look out, she's real mean
So just remember her name
Acetylene Jean
Such an innocent face
Cutest you've ever seen
Acetylene Jean
She's all right

She looks like an angel
But she's evil inside
And the fact that she's
The devil's queen ain't been denied
And everytime we hang around
She's waiting for the pay
But when she steams right in
And blows them all away
'Cause when she feels unkind
She sends the torture life and
Boot hills out of sight

Acetylene Jean
She's gonna set you aflame
Look out, she's real mean
So just remember her name
Acetylene Jean
You're such an innocent face
Prettiest you've ever seen
Acetylene Jean

I can talk about it now
Because I'm free

Didn't I say just a moment ago
All of my life has been
Just like a show
Always impatient and ready to go
I remember

I've been 'round the world
With a whole bunch of clowns
Seen all of the cities
And most of the towns
We had our ups and
Plenty of downs
I remember

I can talk about it now
Because I'm free
But I'll always be the same old me

Playing my music is all I can do
To say all the things
That is possible to
But sometimes I thought that
I wouldn't pull through
I remember

So I'll carry on for as long as I can
With hardly a reason
And never a plan
'Cause I'll be contented
If I stay the man
I remember well

I got your letter this moning
And it knocked me down to the floor
We have such a good thing going
Now you have to
Kick me out the door
I loved you so much
Now I'm hurting
Wouldn't be caught off my life
The only thing I didn't really do, girl
Was to make you my loving wife

But Rebecca, it's gonna get better
Rebecca, yeah, it's gonna get better

I got your message this morning
And it's causing me so much pain
I nearly ??? caught in
Oh, please take me back again
With you I'll take my chances
And I feel ??? in time
No more midnight romances
Give me ??? turn in fine

'Cause Rebecca
I'm gonna get better
Rebecca, I'm gonna get better

Rebecca, it's gonna get better
Rebecca, yeah, it's gonna get better

I want a bad girl
To hold me tight
I want a bad girl
To share my night
Don't need a tease
I'm gonna please her every way
Just lead the way
'Cause if you stay
You'll get your pay

Don't want a shy girl
You're just a waste of my time
To say goodbye, girl
Take the next one in line
There's always more
That's come here for
My taste of honey
And if you ain't buying
Don't waste my time
I ain't being funny

I want a bad girl
You're just a little liar
I want a bad girl
'Cause bad's just my style
In skin tight jeans
Not seventeen
Ready and willing
Come on along
And come on strong
You're such a good dealer

Don't let me down ...

How do you sleep
Now you're alone at night
How do you sleep
Close your eyes and I'm out of sight
What do you dream
Are you into make-believe
What do you dream
I bet it's something
You can't achieve

How do you sleep
Are you the lonely kind
How do you sleep
Is there someone on your mind
What do you dream
???
Do you know what I mean
Will you give up the key
Just give up the key
And give it to me
How do you sleep

How could you treat me so badly
And where did you learn how to lie
How could you get up and leave me
When you knew it would
Only make me cry
Yes, you knew it would
Only make me cry

So, how do you sleep
Now you're alone at night
How do you sleep
Just close your eyes
And I'm out of sight
What do you dream
Are you into make believe
What do you dream
I know it's something
You can't achieve
You can't achieve
How do you sleep
How do you sleep

If you will listen to reason
You might find all that you need
They're not my demons ??? easy
And know how to chance to succeed
Know how to chance to succeed
Know how to chance to succeed

How do you sleep
Now you're alone at night
How do you sleep
Close your eyes and I'm out of sight
What do you dream
Are you into make believe
What do you dream
Is it something you can't achieve

How do you sleep...

Little by little - bit by bit ...

There's need to get you time out
I've made up my mind
I've found a new direction
And I'm making out fine
???
Just taking my time
And the best thing I've had is
I'm on the right line

Oh, I've made up mind
To do it little by little and bit by bit

Little by little and bit by bit ...

If I never said I loved you
Did you find it absurd
The thing you didn't understand, girl
I'm a man of my word
There's plenty people talking
Searching impossible
The thing you must remember
They're just real as it hurts

There's a suggestion
Just try to use your mind
An answer to your question
Don't ever look behind
The future's out there waitin'
For you to grab a bite
Then start creating
But keep the end in sight

Start believing, believe in me
Start believing...

Don't ever do resistance
Do what you think is right
And with a little resistance
I'll prove that black is white
And if you don't believe it
Take my advice

The moment you're in heaven
The more you went and choose
Don't ever hold forever
As long as you believe
You'll never need to worry

It was one of those days
I'll never forget
And one of those times
I'll never regret
One of those things
I could never deny
'Cause oh no, no
I'll never say die

She came from Chicago
Down to New York
And I met her once
Down in Central Park
But she was so pretty
I had to give up my case
But who, tell me who can resist
I'm ready to face

So I gave in 'cause I was losin'
The best thing I ever had
It's a pity she was so pretty
It's a shame she had to be so bad
She was playin' the game
But she was losin'
And she had a record of givin' a lie
Oh, oh no, I'll never say die
Never say die

One of those days
I'll never forget
And one of those times
I'll never regret
One of those things
I could never deny
'Cause oh no, no
I'll never say die

So I gave in 'cause I was losin'
The best thing I ever had
It's a pity she was so pretty
It's a shame she had to be so bad
But she was playin' the game
She was losin'
And she had a record of givin' a lie
Oh, oh no, I'll never say die

I gave in 'cause I was losin'
The best thing I've ever had
It's a pity she was so pretty
It's a shame she had to be so bad
But she was playin' the game
She was losin'
And she had a record of givin' a lie
Oh, oh no, I'll never say die
Never say die

You couldn't call him lazy
He used every trick in the book
Though people thought
He was crazy
He gave a lot more than he took
His brain was full of good intention
It's a shame didn't get in the breaks
But I thought he was worth
Just a little mention
At least he didn't burn the cakes

He was the king and he wore my ring
He was the king, right ding-a-ling
He was the king
It din't mean a thing
But who was the king
I think you know what I mean

He played around with the weather
And turned the sunshine into rain
He used his best endeavours
But the queen said, never again
But me, I'm a kinda hard of hearin'
He didn't understand her right
With the best of intentions
He turned the day
Into a permanent night

He tried to right the justice
????
The king comes on
And says: a question
And told him to get off one knee
And in the middle of celebration
He tried to get the sunshine appear
All across the nation
His subjects were askin' him when

Hey, little honey
Ain't got no money
But I'll show you a real good time
You got me spinnin'
I know you're willin'
So let's get down to feelin' fine

You can have a piece, a piece
A piece, a piece of my love
You can have a piece, a piece
A piece, a piece of my love

You're stayin' in my house
And you're always on my telephone
But I don't mind as long as
You do what you're been to
I know you're young
But don't have any regrets

You drive me crazy
You're my kind of lady
So please leave a rest for awhile
You know you treat me unkind
But I like your mind
You know you're just my style

You're goin' in again but
I hope you're gonna back soon
My temperature is burnin' and
I miss you even more just now
I'm a good lovin' man and
A good lady never forgets
At least she shouldn't

You drive me crazy
You're my kind of lady
So please leave a rest for awhile
You know you treat me unkind
But I like your mind
Darling, you're just my style

You're stayin' in my house
And you're always on my telephone
But I don't mind as long as
You do what you're been to
I know you're young
But don't have any regrets
Oh baby, don't you have any regrets

Met an old friend today
And he told me he was real low
'Cause his music don't fit
With the chance of the time
So I asked him to join me
That night for a free blow
Just like we did when we played
For those nickels and dimes

He took a chair and told me
That he'd think it over
Said that it was a while
Since he'd tickled the strings
So I told him to come along
If he was sober
And get high on the energy
Rock 'n' roll brings

He said, I'll tell you no lie
I'll give it one more try
'Cause I love my old rock music
And I want it to stay
Just put me to the test
You bet I'll give my best
And I'll push her to the job
Every inch of the way

Late at home in the evening
I was sittin' and playin'
Looked to the bar to the stage
Came an old friend of mine
Said, he had it grooving
And figured on staying
And if it was okay by me
Could he join for awhile

I'll tell you no lie
I'll give it just one more try
'Cause I love my old rock music
And it's got to stay
Just get me to the test
You know I'm gonna give my best
And I'll push her to the job
Every inch of the way

I won't tell you no lie
'Cause I'm gonna give it
One more try
'Cause I love my old rock music
And I want it to stay
Just put me to the test
'Cause you know I'm gonna
Give my best
And I'll push her to the job
Every inch of the way

I'll tell you, tell you, tell you no lie
I'll give it one more try
'Cause I love my old rock music
And it's got to stay

Routine - does nobody really care?
Routine - is no one
Gettin' anywhere?
I need a break from
All this emptiness
Oh, I need a rest - routine
Routine - makes everybody
Look the same
Routine - there's always
Someone else to blame
Well, I don't think I can
Take it anymore
Oh, I'm longing for - routine
Routine

Routine - what is the meaning
Of the word?
Routine - it's really gettin'
Quite absurd
It's matter how you try to return
Oh, 'cause in the end it's routine
It's just routine
Routine ...

Tired eyes need no words
But somebody has get in the corner
Tired eyes and tired nerves
Tenders that are given the shorter
But still we stroll on and on
'Cause we know there's no disguise
To beat those tired eyes

Shattered dreams can reflect
One or two flash in perfections
But it seems that I erect
To try and follow my own direction
And in the end I am sure my friend
That our dreams will all come true
For me, for me and you

Tired eyes, nothing new
Rest awhile tonight
And tomorrow when I look at you
Will sparkle with new light

If I tried to sustain the energy
We both need so badly
If I tried to explain that if you wanted
I could stop all this gladly
Would listen awhile
With a trace of your smile
'Cause you know it wouldn't be true
That's why I love you
That's why I love you
