I'd Do Anything for You (But I Won't Do That)
|
|
And I would do anything for love I'd run right into hell and back I would do anything for love I'll never lie to you and that's a fact But I'll never forget the way you feel right now Oh no, no way And I would do anything for love But I won't do that I won't do that Anything for love I would do anything for love I would do anything for love But I won't do that I won't do that Some days it don't come easy Some days it don't come hard Some days it don't come at all And these are the days that never end Some nights you're breathing fire Some nights you're carved in ice Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before Or will again Maybe I'm crazy Oh, it's crazy and it's true I know you can save me No one else can save me now but you As long as the planets are turning As long as the stars are burning As long as your dreams are coming true You better believe it! That I would do anything for love And I'll be there till the final act I would do anything for love And I'll take a vow and seal a pact But I'll never forgive myself If we don't go all the way tonight! I would do anything for love Oh, I would do anything for love I would do anything for love But I won't do that No, I won't do that I would do anything for love Anything you've been dreaming of But I just won't do that Somedays I pray for silence Somedays I pray for soul Somedays I just pray to the God Of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N' Roll Some nights I lose the feeling Some nights I lose control Some nights I just lose it all When I watch you dance and the thunder rolls Maybe I'm lonely And that's all I'm qualified to be There's just one and only The one and only promise I can keep As long as the wheels are turning As long as the fires are burning As long as your prayers are coming true You better believe it That I would do anything for love And you know it's true and that's a fact I would do anything for love And there'll never be no turning back But I'll never do it better than I do it with you So long, so long And I would do anything for love Oh, I would do anything for love I would do anything for love But I won't do that No, no, no, I won't do that I would do anything for love Anything you've been dreaming of But I just won't do that But I'll never stop dreaming of you Every night of my life, no way And I would do anything for love Oh, I would do anything for love I would do anything for love But I won't do that No, I won't do that [Girl:] Will you raise me up? Will you help me down? Will you get me right out of this God-forsaken town? Will you make it all a little less cold? [Boy:] I can do that! I can do that! [Girl:] Will you hold me sacred? Will you hold me tight? Can you colorize my life? I'm so sick of black and white... Can you make it all a little less old? [Boy:] I can do that! Oh, oh, now I can do that! [Girl:] Will you make me some magic With your own two hands? Can you build an emerald city With these grains of sand? Can you give me something I can take home? [Boy:] I can do that! Oh, oh now, I can do that! [Girl:] Will you cater to every fantasy I got? Will you hose me down with holy water If I get too hot? Will you take me places I've never known? [Boy:] I can do that! Oh, oh now, I can do that! [Girl:] After a while you'll forget everything It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling And you'll see that it's time to move on [Boy:] I won't do that! No, I won't do that! [Girl:] I know the territory, I've been around It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down And sooner or later, you'll be screwing around... [Boy:] I won't do that! No, I won't do that! Anything for love Oh, I would do anything for love I would do anything for love But I won't do that No, I won't do that |

Life Is a Lemon and I Want My Money Back
|
|
I want my money back! I want my money back! It's all or nothing, and nothing's all I ever get Everytime I turn it on, I burn it up and burn it out It's always something, there's always something going wrong That's the only guarantee, that's what this is all about It's a never ending attack, everything's a lie and that's a fact Life is a lemon and I want my money back And all the morons and all the stooges with their coins They're the ones who make the rules, It's not a game, it's just a rout There's desperation, there's desperation in the air It leaves a stain on all your clothes And no detergent gets it out And we're always slipping thru the cracks Slippin' Then the movie's over, fade to black Life is a lemon and I want my money back I want my money back, I want my money back What about love? It's defective - it's always breaking in half What about sex? It's defective - it's never built to really last What about your family? It's defective - all the batteries are shot What about your friends? They're defective - all the parts are out of stock What about hope? It's defective - it's corroded and decayed What about faith? It's defective - it's tattered and it's frayed What about your Gods? They're defective - They forgot the warranty What about your town? It's defective - it's a dead end street to me What about your school? It's defective - it's a pack of useless lies What about your work? It's defective - it's a crock and then you die What about your childhood? It's defective - it's dead and buried in the past What about your future? It's defective - and you can shove it up your ass! I want my money back - life is a lemon I want my money back - life is a lemon, life is a lemon It's all or nothing, and nothing's all I ever get Everytime I turn it on, I burn it up and burn it out It's a never ending attack, Everything's a lie and that's a fact Life is a lemon and I want my money back And we're always slipping thru the cracks Slippin' Then the movie's over, fade to black Life is a lemon and I want my money back Back, back, back, back! I want my money back, I want my money back Life is a lemon |

Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through
|
|
You can't run away forever, But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start You want to shut out the night You want to shut down the sun You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart Think of how we'd lay down together We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs I treasure your love I never want to lose it You've been through the fires of hell And I know you've got the ashes to prove it I treasure your love I want to show you how to use it You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt And I know you've got the scars to prove it Remember everything that I told you And I'm telling you again that it's true When you're alone and afraid And you're completely amazed To find there's nothing anybody can do Keep on believing And you'll discover baby There's always something magic There's always something new And when you really really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through The beat is yours forever The beat is always true And when you really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through... for you... Once upon a time was a backbeat Once upon a time all the chords came to life And the angels had guitars even before they had wings If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night I treasure your love I never want to lose it You've been through the fires of hell And I know you've got the ashes to prove it I treasure you love I want to show you how to use it You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt And I know you've got the scars to prove it Remember everything that I told you And I'm telling you again that it's true You're never alone cause you can put on the phones And let the drummer tell your heart what to do Keep on believing And you'll discover baby There's always something magic There's always something new And when you really really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through The beat is yours forever The beat is always true And when you really really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through... for you... |

It Just Won't Quit
|
|
And I never really sleep anymore, And I always get those dangerous dreams And I never get a minute of peace, And I gotta wonder what it means And I gotta wonder what it means Maybe it's nothing and I'm under the weather Maybe it's just one of those bugs going round Maybe I'm under a spell and it's magic Maybe there's a witch doctor with an office in town Oh is this a blessing or is it a curse? Does it get any better? Can it get any worse? Will it go on forever or is it over tonight? Does it come with the darkness? Does it bring out the light? Is it richer than diamonds or just a little cheaper than spit? I don't know what it is I don't know what it is but it just won't quit I don't know what it is but it just won't quit I don't know what it is but it just won't quit I don't know what it is but it just won't quit And there used to be such an easy way of living And there used to be every hope in the world And I used to get everything that I went after But there never used to be this girl, But there never used to be this girl Maybe I'm crazy and I'm losing my senses Maybe I'm possessed by a spirit or such Maybe I'm desperate and I've got no defenses Can you get me a prescription for that one perfect touch? Oh is this a blessing or is it a curse? Does it get any better? Can it get any worse? Will it go on forever or is it over tonight? Does it come with the darkness? Does it bring out the light? It's a stairway to heaven or a subway going down to the pits Is it some kind of love? I don't know what it is but it just won't quit I don't know what it is but it just won't quit I don't know what it is but it just won't quit I don't know what it is but it just won't quit I don't know what it is I don't know what it is but it just won't quit There was a time when nothing ever really mattered There was a time when there was nothing I didn't know There was a time when I knew just what I was living for There was a time and the time was so long ago There was a time and the time was so long ago And I never really sleep anymore |

Out of the Frying Pan (And into the Fire)
|
|
It's only two o'clock And the temperature's beginning to soar And all around the city You see the walking wounded and the living dead It's never been this hot and I've never been so bored And breathing is just no fun anymore Then I saw you like a summer dream And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said I saw you like a summer dream And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said You can feel the pulse of the pavement Racing like a runaway horse The subways are sizzling And the skin of the streets is gleaming with sweat I've seen you sitting on the steps outside And you were looking so restless and reckless and lost I think it's time for you to come inside I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget I think it's time for you to come inside I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget Come on, come on and there'll be no turning back You were only killing time and it'll kill you right back Come on, come on, it's time to burn up the fuse You got nothing to do and even less to lose You got nothing to do and even less to lose So wander down to the ancient hallway, Taking the stairs only one at a time Follow the sound of my heartbeat now I'm in the room at the top, You're at the end of the line So open the door and lay down on the bed, The sun is just a ball of desire And I wanna take you out of the frying pan And into the fire Out of the frying pan and into the fire Out of the frying pan and into the fire And I wanna take you out of the frying pan And into the fire Out of the frying pan and into the fire Out of the frying pan and into the fire And into the fire, fire, fire, And into the fire, fire, fire And into the fire, fire, fire, And into the fire It's only two o'clock And the temperature's beginning to soar And all around the city You see the walking wounded and the living dead It's never been this hot and I've never been so bored And breathing is just no fun anymore Then I saw you like a summer dream And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said I saw you like a summer dream And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said And into the, and into the, and into the And into the fire, fire, fire, And into the fire, fire, fire And into the fire, fire, fire, And into the fire |

Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are
|
|
The skies were pure and the fields were green And the sun was brighter than it's ever been When I grew up with my best friend Kenny We were close as any brothers than you ever knew It was always summer and the future called We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all And there was so much left to dream and so much time to make it real But I can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone They said he crashed and burned I know I'll never learn why any boy should die so young We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune We got in trouble but we sure got around There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground But it was long ago and it was far away, oh God it seems so very far And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And when the sun descended and the night arose I heard my father cursing everyone he knows He was dangerous and drunk and defeated And corroded by failure and envy and hate There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees And my father's eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and again I know I still believe he'd never let me leave, I had to run away alone So Many threats and fears, so many wasted years before my life became my own And though the nightmares should be over Some of the terrors are still intact I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice And then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back But it was long ago and it was far away, oh God it seems so very far And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are There was a beauty living on the edge of town And she always put the top up and the hammer down And she taught me everything I'll ever know About the mystery and the muscle of love The stars would glimmer and the moon would glow I'm in the back seat with my Julie like a Romeo And the signs along the highway all said, Caution! Kids At Play! Those were the rights of spring and we did everything There was salvation every night We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn But everything we tried was right She used her body just like a bandage, she used my body just like a wound I'll probably never know where she disappeared But I can see her rising up Out of the back seat now Just like an angel rising up from a tomb But it was long ago and it was far away, oh God it seems so very far And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are She used her body just like a bandage, she used my body just like a wound I'll probably never know where she disappeared But I can see her rising up Out of the back seat now |

Wasted Youth
|
|
Wasted Youth Wasted Youth I remember everything! I remember everything little thing, as if it happened yesterday I was barely seventeen, and I once killed a boy with a Fender Guitar I don't remember if it was a Telecaster or a Stratocaster But I do remember that it had a heart of chrome, and a voice like a horny angel I don't remember if it was a Telecaster or a Stratocaster But I do remember that it wasn't at all easy It required the perfect combination of the right power chords And the precise angel from which to strike! The guitar bled for about a week afterwords And the blood was zoot, dark and rich, like wild berry's The blood of the guitar was Chuck Berry red The guitar bled for about a week afterwords But it rung out beautifully And I was able to play notes that I had never even heard before So I took my guitar And I smashed it against the wall I smashed it against the floor I smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader Smashed it against the hood of a car Smashed it against a 1981 Harley-Davidson The Harley howled in pain The guitar howled in heat And I ran up the stairs to my parents bedroom Mommy and Daddy were sleeping in the moonlight Slowly I opened the door Creeping in the shadows right up to the foot of their bed I raised the guitar high above my head And just as I was about to bring the guitar crashing down upon the center of the bed My father woke up, screaming "Stop!" "Wait a minute. Stop it boy. What do you think your doing?" "That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument" And I said, "God Damn It daddy," "You know I love you, But you've got a hell of a lot to learn about Rock n' Roll" |

Everything Louder Than Everything Else

I know that I will never be Politically Correct And I don't give a damn about my lack of etiquette As far as I'm concerned the world could still be flat And If the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back If the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back Who am I? Why am I here? Forget the questions someone get me another beer What's the meaning of life? What's the meaning of it all? You gotta learn to dance Before you learn to crawl You gotta learn to dance Before you learn to crawl So sign up, all you raw recruits Throw away those designer suits You got your weapons cocked, your targets in your sights There's a party raging, somewhere in the world You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl You're all enlisted in the Army of the Night And I ain't in it for the power And I ain't in it for my health I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all And I sure ain't in it for the wealth But I'm in it til' it's over And I just can't stop If you want to get it done, you have to do it yourself And I like my music like I like my life Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else They got a file on me that's a mile long And they say that they've got all of the proof That I'm just another case of arrested development I'm just another wasted youth They say that I'm in need of some radical discipline They say I gotta face the truth That I'm just another case of arrested development I'm just another wasted youth They say I'm wild and I'm reckless I should be acting my age I'm an impressionable child In a tumultuous world And they say I'm at a difficult stage But it seems to me to the contrary Of all the crap they're gonna put on the page That a wasted youth is better by far Then a wise and productive old age A wasted youth is better by far Then a wise and productive old age A wasted youth is better by far Then a wise and productive old age If you want my views of history Then there's something you should know The three men I admire most Are Curly, Larry, Moe Don't worry about the future Sooner or later it's the past If they say the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back If the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back So sign up, all you raw recruits Throw away those two bit suits You got your weapons cocked, your targets in your sights There's a party raging, somewhere in the world You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl You're all inducted in the Army of the Night And I ain't in it for the power And I ain't in it for my health I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all And I sure ain't in it for the wealth But I'm in it til' it's over And I just can't stop If you want to get it done, you got to fight for yourself And I like my music like I like my life Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else |

Good Girls Go to Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere)
|
|
Good girls go to heaven But the bad girls go everywhere When the wind is howling through your window pane It's not the only pain of the night You're burning up in your bed, you got a fever of love And there's not an anti-body in sight Hey Jenny, Jenny, why are you crying? There's a beauty of a moon in the sky But I guess when you've been leading such a sheltered life You never lift your head and look so high You don't have a lot, but it's all that you've got And you can turn it into more than it seems Just give it a shot, Fantasize every movement And imagine every inch of your dream No one said it had to be real But it's gotta be something you can reach out and feel now It ain't right, it ain't fair Castles fall in the sand and we fade in the air And the good girls go to heaven, But the bad girls go everywhere Good girls go to heaven, But the bad girls go everywhere Somebody told me so, Somebody told me now I know Every night in my prayer, I'll be praying that the Good girls go to heaven, But the bad girls go everywhere When the sweat is sizzling on your skin in the dark And you're desperate now for somewhere to turn Every muscle in rebellion, every nerve is on edge And every limb has been erotically burned Hey Johnny, Johnny, why are you shaking? When a boy should do whatever he can You've been nothing but an angel every day of your life And now you wonder what it's like to be damned You don't have a lot, but it's all that you've got And you can turn it into more than it seems Just give it a shot, Fantasize every movement And imagine every inch of your dream No one said it had to be real But it's gotta be something you've been wanting to feel now It ain't right, it ain't fair Castles fall in the sand and we fade in the air And the good boys go to heaven, But the bad boys go everywhere Good boys go to heaven, But the bad boys go everywhere Somebody told me so, Somebody told me now I know Every night in my prayer, I'll be praying that the Good boys go to heaven, But the bad boys go everywhere Every time I try and dream you, I can't believe how hard it's been to Conjure up your face And trace your body in the air All the seconds go on forever, But the thirds and fourth ones are even better Everytime I do it just a little bit longer Everytime I dream, It's just a little bit stronger than real life Good girls go to heaven, Bad girls go everywhere |

Lost Boys and Golden Girls

Lost boys and golden girls, Down on the corner and all around the world Lost boys and golden girls Down on the corner and all around, all around the world It doesn't matter where they're going, Or wherever they've been 'Cause they got one thing in common it's true They'll never let a night like tonight go to waste And let me tell you something, Neither will you, neither will you We gotta be fast, we were born out of time, Born out of time and alone And we'll never be as young as we are right now Running away and running for home, Running for home Lost boys and golden girls, Down on the corner and all around the world Lost boys and golden girls Down on the corner and all around, and all around the world |
