1: Play The Game


Open up your mind and let me step inside
Rest your weary head and let your heart decide
It's so easy when you know the rules
It's so easy all you have to do is fall in love
Play the game, everybody play the game of love

When you're feeling down and your resistance is low
Light another cigarette and let yourself go
This is your life, don't play hard to get
It's a free world, all you have to do is fall in love
Play the game, everybody play the game of love

My game of love has just begun
Love runs from my head down to my toes
My love is pumping through my veins play the game
Driving me insane
Come come come play the game, play the game, play the game

Play the game, everybody play the game of love
This is your life, don't play hard to get
It's a free free world all you have to do is fall in love
Play the game, play the game of love
This is your life, don't play hard to get
It's a free free world all you have to do is fall in love
Play the game

2: Dragon Attack

Take me to the room where the red's all red
Take me out of my head's what I said

Take me to the room where the green's all green
And from what I've seen it's hot, it's mean

Gonna use my stack, it's gotta be mack
Gonna get me on the track, got a dragon on my back

Take me to the room where the beat's all round
Gonna eat that sound, yeah yeah yeah
Take me to the room where the blacks all white
And the white's are black, take me back to the shack

She don't take no prisoners, gonna give me the business
Got a dragon on my back, it's a dragon attack

Low down, she don't take no prisoners
Go down, gonna give me the business
No time, yeah chained to the rack
Show time, got a dragon on my back
Show down, go find another customer
Slow down, I gotta make my way

3: Another One Bites The Dust


Steve walks warily down the street, with the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet, machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, are you ready for this, are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip to the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust, another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too, another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm going to get along, without you, when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had and kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied, how long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip to the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust, another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too, another one bites the dust

Another one bites the dust, another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust, another one bites the dust

There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man and bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him when he's down
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you, I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip, repeating the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust, another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too, another one bites the dust

4: Need Your Loving Tonight

No I'll never, look back in anger
No I'll never, find me an answer
You promised me, you'd keep in touch
I read your letter and it hurt me so much
I said I'd never, never be angry with you

I don't wanna feel like a stranger
Cos I'd rather stay out of in danger
I read your letter so many times
I got your meaning between the lines
I said I'd never, never be angry with you

I must be strong so she won't know how much I miss her
I only hope as time goes on, I'll forget her
My body's aching, can't sleep at night
I'm too exhausted to start a fight
And if I see her with another guy
I'll eat my heart out 'cos I love love love love her

Come on baby, let's get together
I'll love you baby, I'll love you forever
I'm trying hard to stay away
What made you change, what did I say?
Ooh I need your loving tonight
Ooh I need your loving, ooh I need your loving
Ooh I need your loving tonight

Ooh I need your loving tonight

No I'll never look back in anger
No I'll never find me an answer
Gave me no warning, how could I guess
I have to learn to forgive and forget
Ooh I need your loving, ooh I need your loving
Ooh I need your loving tonight

5: Crazy Little Thing Called Love


This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready, crazy little thing called love

This thing this thing called love called Love
It cries like a baby in a cradle all night
It swings woo woo it jives woo woo
It shakes all over like a jelly fish, I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to Rock n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

I gotta be cool relax, get hip
Get on my track's, take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool relax, get hip
Get on my track's, take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike until I'm ready ready Freddie
Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready, crazy little thing called love

Crazy little thing called love, crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love, crazy little thing called love

6: Rock It (prime jive)

When I hear that rock and roll
It gets down to my soul
When it's real rock and roll, oh rock and roll
When I hear that rock and roll
It gets down to my soul
When it's real rock and roll, oh rock and roll

You really think they like to rock in space?
Well I don't know, what do you know?
What do you hear on the radio?
Coming through the air
I said Mama, I ain't crazy
I'm alright, alright
Hey, c'mon baby said it's alright to rock and roll on a Saturday night
I said shoot and get your suit and come along with me
I said c'mon baby down come and rock and roll with me, I said yeah

To get to feel alive?
You go downtown and get some of that prime jive

7: Don't Try Suicide


Don't do it, don't you try it baby
Don't do that don't don't don't don't do that
You got a good thing going now
Don't do it, don't do it, don't

Don't try suicide nobody's worth it
Don't try suicide nobody cares
Don't try suicide just gonna hate it
Don't try suicide nobody gives a damn

So you think it's the easy way out
Think you're gonna slash your wrists this time
Baby when you do it all you do is get on my tits
Don't do that, try try try baby
Don't do that, you got a good thing going now
Don't do it, don't do it, don't

Don't try suicide nobody's worth it
Don't try suicide nobody cares

Don't try suicide nobody gives a damn

You need help, look at yourself you need help
You need life, so don't hang yourself
It's o.k. o.k. o.k. o.k.
You just can't be a prick teaser all of the time
A little bit attention, you got it
Need some affection, you got it
Suicide suicide suicide bid
Suicide suicide sucide bid
Suicide

Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it babe
Don't do it, don't do it, don't-do it

Don't try suicide nobody's worth it
Don't try suicide nobody cares
Don't try suicide just gonna hate it
Don't try suicide nobody gives, nobody gives nobody gives a damn

8: Sail Away Sweet Sister

Hey little babe you're changing
Babe, are you feeling sore?
Ain't no use in pretending
You don't wanna play no more

It's plain that you ain't no baby
What would your mother say
You're all dressed up like a lady
How come you behave this way

Sail away sweet sister
Sail across the sea
Maybe you find somebody
Who loves you half as much as me
My heart is always with you
No matter what you do
Sail away sweet sister
Always be in love with you

Forgive me for what I told you
My heart makes a fool of me
You know I'll never hold you
I know that you gotta be free

Sail away sweet sister
Sail across the sea
Maybe you find somebody
Who loves you half as much as me
Take it the way you want it
But when they let you down my friend
Sail away sweet sister
Back to my arms again

Hot child don't you know, you're young
You've got your whole life ahead of you
Oohah, you can throw it away too soon
Way too soon

Sail away sweet sister
Sail across the sea
Maybe you find somebody
Who's gonna loves you half as much as me
My heart is always with you
No matter what you do
Sail away sweet sister
Always be in love with you

9: Coming Soon


Oooooooooo, oooooo
Oh oh oh
I get some headaches when I hit the heights
Like in the morning after crazy nights
Like some mother in law in her nylon tights

They're always, they're always
They're always, they're always
Coming soon, coming soon, on the outside, of the tracks
You take 'em
The same old babies with the same old toys
The neighbours screaming when the noise annoys
Somebody naggin' you when you're out with the boys

They're always, they're always
They're always, they're always
Coming soon, coming soon, on the outside, of the track
Yeah, yeah, yeah, watch me now

They're always, they're always
They're always, they're always
Coming soon, coming soon, on the outside, of the track
Coming soon, coming soon, on the outside, of the track
Yeah, yeah, yeah

10: Save Me


It started off so well
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you, how I cried
The years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived a lie
"I'll love you 'til I die"

Save save save me
I can't face this life alone
Save save save me
I'm naked and I'm far from home

The slate will soon be clean
I'll erase the memories
To start again with somebody new
Was it all wasted
All that love ?
I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent

Save save save me
I can't face this life alone
Save save oh
I'm naked and I'm far from home

Each night I cry, I still believe the lie
I'll love you 'til I die

Save save oh save me
Don't let me face my life alone
Save save oh
I'm naked and I'm far from home
