  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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 - ???
    Red lights - in the city
    Street lights - shadow the night
    Sunshine - if you need some one
    Head lights- that young blood’s alright

    I can’t keep away
    Not today
    She brings me to my knees

    Red lights - I want you
    Red lights - I need you
    Red lights - you get too heavy
    Red lights

  7. Rollin' The Rock (Box/Daisley/Goalby/Sinclair)

    Feels so cold, so alone
    An empty stage, no one home
    Feels so strange, susky
    No point in screaming
    I won’t be hurt

    You’re so cold, you’re so cool
    It’s so dark in this tomb

    Time has come so soon
    And time takes no prisoners
    Except in the womb
    There’s no way out, no escape
    This silence is deafening
    I have to cry out

    Roll away the rock
    Roll the rock away

    Set me free from this grief
    Am I forgiven, can I be saved?
    You’ve been so cold for so long
    This silence is deafening
    Was I so wrong?

    This silence is deafening

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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)
