watchin' rockers on my home screen everyday
rags to riches
the rock 'n' roll way
the pain seemed like so much fun
now that he's on top
"all you gotta do is knuckle down and give it all you've
got".
he's on top of the rock
and he knows just how to live it up
on top of the rock
and he's never gonna give it up.
mansions and limousines
private airplanes
can't afford an island
ain't that a shame
like any other revolution
when rock 'n' roll won
it turned out that the guys on top
had all the fun
they're on top of the rock
and they know just how to live it up
on top of the rock
and they're never gonna give it up
they're on top of the rock
and they know just how to live it up
they're on top of the rock
and they're never gonna give it up
we started out like any other hard rockin' band
together we're gonna rock every corner of this land
turned out that he was right
but we ain't givin' up without a fight
till we're on top of the rock
and we know just how to live it up
on top of the rock
and we're never gonna give it up
on top of the rock
and we know just how to live it up
on top of the rock
and we're never gonna give it up
till we're on top of the rock, top of the rock
till we're on top of the rock, top of the rock
tried to understand just what we are
searching in the powders and the country bars
then you showed me how to care
you cleaned me up and made me a man again
suddenly you disappeared and i found myself back on the road
thoughts of you just tear my mind apart
i want to end but don't know where to start
i dream of all the times you showed me how to share
now it's much too late to be a man again
the bottle seems the only way
"cos i'm a prisoner of passion, yeah
just a sucker for emotion
a prisoner of passion, yeah
on my own
in search of a sanity i know that i'll never find
lost in the labyrinth in my mind
another weary pilgrim on that broken trail
stranded in a land where it never rains
and the bottle feels like the holy grail
"cos i'm a prisoner of passion, yeah
just a sucker for emotion
a prisoner of passion, yeah
on my own
"cos i'm a prisoner of passion, yeah
just a sucker for emotion
a prisoner of passion, yeah
just a fool without a notion
as darkness spreads over the city the moon flees for her life
behind the clouds
shadows stretch their fingers clawing soon to envelope us like a
shroud
away in the distance you can hear the engine scream
nocturnal animals not of flesh and bone but blood and steel
urban warriors soon the sounds of their battle will fill the
night
fearing retribution the forces of the law stay out of sight
no knights in shining armour no modern day robin hoods
death, pillage and destruction the only things that are
understood
chains and black leather
all for one and one for all
we live and die together
fight until we fall
don't give no quarter
enemies tremble when they hear our battle cry
welcome to the slaughter
brothers right until we die
they come tearing round the corner angels of hell riding
steeds spitting fire
at a signal from the leader the night explode the flames leaping
higher
friends, foes and strangers united in hate and death
addicted to violence oh yeah, they're overdosed on lead
chains and black leather
all for one and one for all
we live and die together
fight until we fall
don't give no quarter
enemies tremble when they hear our battle cry
welcome to the slaughter
brothers right until we die
trying to erase the memories
of how it all began
sifting away emotions from reality
how did it all get so out of hand
how could i know any better
i didn't even feel my dependance grow
oh yeah, believe me
when you wanted to leave me
i just let you go
for so many nights i lay awake
i realised i needed you
but ooh, you were so far away
i didn't know, i didn't know how to reach you
and then you called me
you wanted to know how i was getting along
and both of us meant it
across all those miles we felt it
that to let each other go was wrong
and i want you to know
that i can't wait anymore
i'll keep you safe in my arms tonight
and i know deep inside
i've never felt this way before
i'm asking you to stay
don't turn and walk away
how could i know any better
i didn't even feel my dependance grow
oh yeah, believe me
when you wanted to leave me
i should have never let you go
and i want you to know
that i can't wait anymore
can't you see we're running out of time
and i know deep inside
i've never felt this way before
don't keep me hanging on
please show me a sign
you think i'm crazy
but you don't want to see
the reality, cause i'm wrong and you are right
you're not my lady
if you can't believe
that the melody keeps me going through the night
i never meant to give you second position
i never thought you'd react in this way
i thought you'd call my name
but you called me a rock 'n' roll renegade
'cos i've deserted your love for the music
i hope i never get tired, you know i don't wanna loose it.
they say i'm wasted
cause i don't agree
with the elders, see i don't do the 9 to 5
but they can't face it
so they say that i'm the rebellious one trying to destroy
your so called indian way of life
i'm not a victim of you're social constipation
you people don't need a god, you need a laxative
to reach you to your salvation
i'm a rock 'n' roll renegade
and i've abandoned the norm for the music
i hope i never get tired, you know i don't wanna loose it.
i'm a rock 'n' roll renegade
and i've deserted your love for the music
i hope i never get tired, you know i don't wanna loose it.
i'm a rock 'n' roll renegade
and i've deserted your love for the music
i hope i never get tired, you know i don't wanna loose it.
i'm a rock 'n' roll renegade
and i've abandoned the norm for the music
i hope i never get tired, you know i don't wanna loose it.
yeah baby
you can call me a renegade
you can call me a mercenary
i've deserted your love, deserted the norm
but i ain't gonna give it up
oh karen, after all these years it seems such a long long time
baby though i don't see you anymore
every now and then i find you on my mind
you should have known that though i thought i really knew you
it's the part of you you hid away that could have made it feel
right
when i see you now i see the stranger who was inside
so when you walked out it should have been no surprise
oh, even then when i looked into the future
i knew you wouldn't be around for long
why was what everyone said so important
did you really think that what we had was wrong
yeah i'm telling you 'cos i want you to know
so busy playing your silly little games you never let our love
grow
now you know that there won't be a next time
i was standing right at the edge, all you had to girl
was push me over the line
and baby i don't regret it happened
even now i know i'd go through it again
oh, it's all so much clearer now
but the good times more than made up for the pain
yeah i'm telling you 'cos i want you to know
so busy playing your silly little games you never let our love
grow
now you know that there won't be a next time
i was standing right at the edge, all you had to girl
was push me over the line
yeah i'm telling you 'cos i want you to know
so busy playing your silly little games you never let our love
grow
now you know that there won't be a next time
i was standing right at the edge, all you had to girl
was push me over the line
flipping thru a magazine
all of a sudden what do i see
oh my lordy lord, such a nubile fantasy
red curls and eyes that gleam
with a figure of a beauty queen
i've gotta get myself one to satisfy my needs
when i'm in school i get this feeling
that my education's incomplete
oooh , living in a plastic dream
alone i just can't take it
i want a polyvinyl lady for me
ooh, for me
told my folks of my despair
you won't believe what my daddy said
"no my sonny boy, 'cos you're not yet seventeen"
so i hit the store myself
there she was sitting on a shelf
i said baby, baby you and i are going to make synthesized history
when i'm at home i get this feeling
above a foot above my knees
oooh , living in a plastic dream
alone i just can't take it
i want a polyvinyl lady for me
ooh, for me
all night, right thru the day
i don't care what the neighbors say
every time my rubber baby cries in ecstasy
oooh , living in a plastic dream
alone i just can't take it
i want a polyvinyl lady for me
ooh, for me
we got into the city early in the afternoon
got into moscow city round about afternoon
we'd travelled all the way from bombay but boy, we felt so good
we had a bowl of borscht and we had a few loaves of blackbread
but the gujju pulled out his pickle in spite of the spread
half a bottle of vodka, its gone right to his head
communication at first seemed to pose something of a block
but as we turned up the heat we were in for a bit of a shock
'cos the ruskis they spoke the universal language of rock
we travelled to the land of the hammer, the sickle and star
all the way to this land so pretty, so cold and so far
and we had such a ball just rockin' in the ussr
i met this pretty girl, i was walking down arbat street
"zdrastuite" she said, and i could really feel the heat
and so we spent the evening boogie woogieing under the sheets
we travelled to the land of the hammer, the sickle and star
all the way to this land so pretty, so cold and so far
and we had such a ball just rockin' in the ussr
we had such a ball just rockin' in the ussr
rockin', rockin', rockin' in the ussr
(scooby doo was initiated as the member of rock machine when the band moved into his house for rehearsals. in the next couple of years he discovered the joys of travelling and living with a rock 'n' roll band viz: sleeping in train toilets, having his lunch eaten by uday and his pillows stolen by zubin. he is also the only known living creature to have fallen asleep in mark's bass drum during rehearsal. currently partying with st. peter.)
