In Charge Of My Heart
On Top Of The World Ma
(Words and music by The Cross)
I'm on top of the world ma
On top of the world
You know I got me a girl ma
She makes my kiss curl curl
She got some kind on witch craft
And its a workin' on me
What you get ma is what you see
She's a voodoo child when she weaves her spell
Gonna send me dancing to the gates of Hell
Is this the end of the world ma
Is this the end of the world
I think I'm losing control ma
You know my head's in a whirl
She's got her own kind of voodoo
And it's a workin' on me
When we get gymnastic oooee
Well she can make me rock she can make me roll
She makes me mad bad and dangerous to know
She's a voodoo child she's a living doll
She can crack the sky watch the angels fall
I'm on top of the world ma
I'm on top of the world
I'm on top of the world ma
On top of the world
On top of the world
I'm on top of the world
On top of the world ma
I'm on top of the world
I'm on top of the world
On top of the world ma
I know you honey I'm on top of the world.
Liar
(Words and music by Peter Noone)
Hey
When my lady walks into the room
The lights come on to her sweet perfume
I didn't know the devils by her side
There I stood I had nothing to hide
My love could teach the blind to see
My love's the wildest mystery
My love said she'd be the one
Now I know
Baby you're a liar
You're a liar
I wasn't watching for the danger signs
And I never read between the lines
She says c'mon boy can you do your thang
So I turned around still wondering
When my love dances she makes me cry
My love dances with me tonight
My love said she's be the one
But now I know
Baby you're a liar
Oh you're a liar
A liar
But I'm still burning with desire
With the look of a panther
I got lost in the jungle
No I can't help myself again
I can't help myself
Baby you're a liar
My love could teach the blind to see
My love's the wildest mystery
My love said she'd be the one
Now I know
Baby you're a liar
Oh yeah you're a liar
A liar
I'm burning with desire
Oh baby you're a liar
Oh baby you're a liar (you're a liar)
Oh baby you're a liar (you've bin known to veer from the truth)
Lies
You're a liar
You're telling me lies
Baby you're a liar
Lies
I'm burning with desire
Lies
Baby you're a liar
Closer To You
Wasn't looking for love
But you found me anyway
Like a shot from a gun
You just blew me away
Cos you got the power
And you got control
Ain't got no strength
And I can't fight it all
I'll be what you want me to be
And I'll do what you want me to do
And I'll see what you want me to see
If that's what it takes to get closer to you
Well I'm down on my knees
Cos you got me in chains
So you do what you please
And you drive me insane
Cos you got the power
And you got control
Ain't got no strength
And I can't fight it all
I'll be what you want me to be
And I'll do what you want me to do
And I'll see what you want me to see
If that's what it takes to get closer to you
Hey if that's what it takes
If that's what it takes
If that's what it takes to get closer to you now
I'll be what you want me to be
And I'll do what you want me to do
And I'll see what you want me to see
If that's what it takes to get closer to you
Be what you want me
Do what you want me
I'll see what you want me to see
To get closer to you
Closer to you babe
Closer to you
If that's what it takes to get closer to you.

Penetration Guru
(Words and music by Clayton Moss)
You've only got to say what you really need
You shall receive it
You've only got to know what you used to know
And then believe it

Beyond the bandaloop I'll take you

Never die - how about that
And when you see the signs you'll freeze your mind
Then you'll be free
And when you feel the force you'll realise

Power To Love
(Words and music by Josh Macrae, Peter Noone and Clayton Moss)
I was searching for the answer
But I didn't know where to start
So I went down to the doctor
To take a look in his black box
And he said what are you searching for
You don't need this to free your mind
And all the crowd sing
It's time out for the rat race
Feed on it my one true desire
Now we've got the power to love
We've got the power to hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star
Now we've got the power to love
We've got the power to hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star
Know what he said
He said I'll take you on a journey
Across sea and over land
To see the death and the destruction
Brought about by our own hands
And all around the world
Check in to the last chance motel
And all the crowd sing
It's time out for the rat race
Feed on it my one true desire
Now we've got the power to love
We've got the power to hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star
Now we've got the power to love
We've got the power to hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star
Push push push
Push on through
Push on through
Now we've got the power to love
We've got the power to hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star
Now we've got the power to love
We've got the power to hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star
Now we've got the power to love
We've got the power to hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star
Now we've got the power to love
We've got the power to hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star
Now we've got the power to love
We've got the power to hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star
We've got the power.
Sister Blue
(Words and music by Peter Noone)

With you and me there lies a resemblance

Better Things
(Words and music by Clayton Moss)
I'm gonna go where the sun's in the sky
And I'm gonna go where the moon is high
And I'm gonna go where the rivers run free
I'm gonna go where I can be me
I'm gonna go where the grass is green (I'm gonna go where grass is green)
And I'm gonna go where the water's clean (I'm gonna go where water's clean)
And I'm gonna go where the sky is clear (I'm gonna go where sky is clear)
I'm gonna go away from here
I'm gonna think about better things
Think about better things
I'm gonna build a fire by the sea (I'm gonna build a fire by the sea)
And I'm gonna be alone with me (I'm gonna be alone with me)
I'm gonna feel the wind on my face (I'm gonna feel the wind on my face)
And I'm gonna go away from this place
Make me a potion to drink I won't make it too sweet
I've got to think about bitter things - think about better things
Time don't care too much about the pace
Just falls on the world stays on your face
Better things, well think about better things
I'm gonna go where the sun's in the sky
I'm gonna go where the moon is high
And I'm gonna go where the rivers run free (I'm gonna go where rivers run
free)
I'm gonna go where I can be me.
Passion for Trash
(Words and music by Josh Macrae)
She's a hot wire baby got a passion for trash
She can run my motor when I'm flat out of gas

Old Men (lay down)
(Words and music by Roger Taylor)
Take a trip to China if you dare
They gotta lotta old men shooting young men there
Iran or Russia or the USA
Old men lay down
Lay down old man you've had your fun
Lay down old man your time is run
Lay down your arms let in the light
Old man lay down
Old men with old clothes
Old men with minds closed
Old men with bad teeth
They own you they own me
Take a trip to China if you dare
They gotta lotta old men shooting young men there
Old men with bad teeth
They own you they own me
Old men in big cars
Old men with missiles
Old men on TV
They own newspapers and they own me
Have you seen a politician with a mile wide smile
Who didn't love himself more than a mother loves her child
Old men on TV
They own newspapers and they own me
Take a trip to China if you dare
Look at Iran - Jesus
Look at Russia - they're getting better
Or the USA - maybe they're getting better
The Lebanon and the Vatican and Panama, most of South America
Old men on TV
They own you they own me
Old men lay down your arms let in the light
Lay down your arms let in the light
Old men lay down
Take a hike - get out of here - get on your bike
You had your time your time is run.
Final Destination
(Words and music by Roger Taylor)
Maybe it's just a feeling, every time we meet
But you hit me right out of the blue from all those people out on the streets
And if one time you told me that you loved me - heaven knows
I would feel that I could ski right off the bridge of your pretty nose
This could be my destination
This could be my destination
And if one time you told me that you cared for me
You would renovate my soul
This could be my destination
This could be my destination
Play some guitar now
You could be my
You might be my
You must be my
Final destination
This could be my destination
You must be my destination
Know what I mean
In the day time
In the night time
In the summertime
In the wintertime
About any time
For all time
Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine
Till the end of time.
