ROCKARAMA (Peter Goalby/John Sinclair/Trevor Bolder/Lee Kerslake/Mick Box)

Wind it up, here comes the video
It's that song again
Turn it up, it's on the radio
Rockarama

Charge me up, I got electric eyes
I won't fall own
Light me up, just like a Christmas tree
Or am I seeing things
Wind it up, turn it up, charge me up, never stop
Wind me up, plug me in, turn me on and give me rock'n'roll

Strap me in to the rocket ship
I'm headin' for the sun
Tune me in to the mother ship
I must be seeing things

Rockarama it's on the video
Rockarama on my radio
Rockarama on the stereo
Give me rock'n'roll
Give me rock'n'roll
Give me rock'n'roll

Plug me in jack to jack
Pin me to the wall
Hey leave that on, I'm on MTV
Now I'm seeing things

Wind it up, here comes the video
It's that song again
Turn it up, it's on the radio
Or am I hearing things

BAD BLOOD (Trevor Bolder/Mick Box/Peter Goalby/Lee Kerslake/John Sinclair)

Desperate man, desperate times
Desperate heart, once she was mine
Bad blood, cold sweat
The more I give, the less I get
She picked clean to the bone
Black ice, danger zone

Bad blood, runs through her veins
She's got bad blood, she'll never change
Held on, long as I could
But that girl, bad blood

Perfect crime, no clues
That girl's just bad news
Held on, long as I could
Bad girl, bad blood
She cuts clean to the bone
Tight jeans, danger zone
Bad blood, runs through her veins
She's got bad blood, she'll never change
Held on, long as I could
But that girl, bad blood

Glass heart, fools gold
Her blood is stone cold
Held on, long as I could
But that girl's just no good
She picked clean to the bone
Black ice, danger zone

Bad blood, runs through her veins
She's got bad blood, she'll never change
Held on, long as I could
But that girl, bad blood

LOST ONE LOVE (Trevor Bolder/Mick Box/Peter Goalby/Lee Kerslake/John Sinclair)

She's lost in the night
She's out of my sight gotta find her again
She's out of my life gotta find her again
Will I ever see the daylight
Will I ever see the sun
Will I ever know the reason
Like a shadow she's gone

She's lost in the night
Out of my sight, have to find her again
Taken my life, have to find her again
Will I ever see the daylight
Will I ever see the dawn
How can I ever find her
She's just a shadow, missing person
I don't know where she's gone

Lost one love
Last seen, somewhere
Walkin' away from the light
Lost one love
Somewhere last seen
Walkin' into the night
She's gone

Will I ever see the daylight
Will I ever see the sun
Can I ever know the reason
Like a shadow, missing person
I don't know where she's gone

Lost one love
Last seen, somewhere
Walkin' away from the light
Lost one love
Somewhere last seen
Walkin' into the night
She's gone

ANGEL (Trevor Bolder/Mick Box/Peter Goalby/Lee Kerslake/John Sinclair)

Can't go to sleep without you starring in my dreams
I can't get you out of my head
I close my eyes, you're always there
I lock the doors, but you're comin' up the stairs

Can't stay awake, I know I have to try
What will it take to stop you walking in my sleep
How can I break this hold you have on me
Angel will you never, ever set me free

Ooh! Angel, I can't stop you dancing on my bed
You're an angel, and I can't get you out of my head Angel
I can't stop you walking in my sleep
You're an angel and I can't stop you starring in my dreams

How come you're givin' me these technicolour dreams
How can I get you - out of my head
I close my eyes, you're always there
How can I get you, out of my bed

I lie awake, all I see is you
I'm going crazy, what can I do
Switch off the light, then you start to call I lock the door
Now you're coming through the wall

Ooh! Angel, I can't stop you dancing on my bed
You're an angel, and I can't get you out of my head Angel
I can't stop you walking in my sleep
You're an angel and I can't stop you starring in my dreams

I can't stay awake much longer
This feeling's getting stronger

Ooh! Angel, I can't stop you dancing on my bed
You're an angel, and I can't get you out of my head Angel
I can't stop you walking in my sleep
You're an angel and I can't stop you starring in my dreams

HOLDING ON (Trevor Bolder/Mick Box/Peter Goalby/Lee Kerslake/John Sinclair)

Lost, lost, like a precious flame
The ashes burn on
The ghost of a love we had
Tries to hold on
Tries to hold on

No communication
All systems are down
No new conversation
Never a sound
Never a sound

What's the point in holdin' on
When the feelin' has gone
Holdin' on
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit has gone

Cold, cold as the empty night
Deep in your eyes
I know there's no truth, no light
Only your lies
Only your lies

What's the point in holdin' on
When the feelin' has gone
Holdin' on
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit has gone

The circle's broken, the damage is done
The crystal lies smashed on the floor

Your presence has left me now
Your spirit has gone
The ghost of a love we had
Tries to hold on
Tries to hold on

PARTY TIME (Trevor Bolder/Mick Box/Peter Goalby/Lee Kerslake/John Sinclair)

Friday night, I'm on my way
I'm steppin' out, I've been working all day
You better watch out, 'Cause I'm on the streets tonight

Well it's party time, I'm all zipped up
It's hot tonight, and I'm ready for love
Jack me up I'm on the loose tonight

I want a little action, some company
No main attraction, no star on TV
No long engagement, reach straight for the gun

Party, gonna be a party
Party, yes this is party time

Well it's 9 o'clock, I'm all juiced up
Gonna find a club, gonna get hooked up
Where it'shappy hour till 3 am

She gave me 2 for 1, we made a deal
She gave me 3 for 1, I'm thinkin' is this real
I'll give you 4 to 1, if you let me take you home

She said, I want some action honey, some company
Physical attraction is good enough for me
No misconception, I just want some fun
No permanent arrangement as she reached for the gun

Party, gonna be a party
Party, yes this is party time

Saturday I'm on my way
Steppin' out, I've been sleeping all day
You better watch out, cause I'm on the streets again

Well it's party time I'm all zipped up
I'm hot tonight and I'm ready for some love
Jack me up, I'm on the loose tonight

Party, gonna be a party
Party, yes this is party time

POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL (Trevor Bolder/Mick Box/Peter Goalby/Lee Kerslake/John Sinclair)

You say you're gonna testify
Lie away, lie away
So you're gonna gun me down
Go ahead, fire away

You say you'll bring the curtain down
Turn around, walk away
You're gonna close this theatre down
Go ahead, stop the play

Your money talks, you pull the strings
Someone waits, in the wings
You flick the switch, the dancer falls
You deal the cards, the dealer calls in your game

Poor little rich girl
Your money talks, you pull the strings
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
Your money burns, we all have wings 

You say you're gonna leave this town
Fly away, fly away
So you gonna shoot me down
Go ahead

Your money burns
Your money stings
Another script, left on the floor
Another face is shown the door in your game

Poor little rich girl
Your money talks, you pull the strings
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
Your money burns, we all have wings
In the game, poor little rich girl
It's easy come, it's easy go
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
You lock the door, close the show

SKOOLS BURNIN' (Trevor Bolder/Mick Box/Peter Goalby/Lee Kerslake/John Sinclair)

Stand up, sit down don't turn around
Don't talk and don't smoke, don't laugh no joke
Too many rules, too many fools
Gonna raise it to the ground
We're gonna get high, light up the sky
Gonna burn it down

Yes sir, no sir, 3 bags full
Speak up or shut up, backs to the wall
Stand in a line, take it outside
See the soldiers march in time
Rollin' out of bed fallin' on my head
I think I'll pull the pin

Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down

Shape up, or ship out, your hair's too long
Yes sir, no sir, the same old song
Stay after time, and learn all your lines
Or write 'em out a thousand times
I heard what you said, bells in my head
Gonna pull the pin

Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down

There's gonna be a party tonight
People gonna come from miles
There's gonna be a fire here tonight
Gonna dance with the devil till the dawn
Dance with the devil till the dawn

Stand up, sit down, don't turn around
Don't talk, don't smoke, don't laugh, no joke
Gonna raise it to the ground
Gonna get high, light up the sky
Gonna pull the pin

Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down

HEARTACHE CITY (Trevor Bolder/Mick Box/Peter Goalby/Lee Kerslake/John Sinclair)

Hit the city, hit the night
Crazy people, neon light
Hit the club, sip the wine
Just remember to leave on time

Hit the red lights, check the girls
You're stepping into another world
See the man, he'll spin you a line
But just remember to leave on time

Heartache
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City

Crazy people in Heartache City
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City

It's a city of sin
Heartache
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City

Check the star club, see the stars
See the action in the back street bars
Looking for love, you're in the wrong place
Tricks for kicks, can you stand the pace

Heartache
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City

Crazy people in Heartache City
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City

Hit the city, hit the night
Crazy people, neon light
You pay your money, it's no real crime
But just remember to leave on time

Heartache
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City

Crazy people in Heartache City
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City

NIGHT OF THE WOLF (Trevor Bolder/Mick Box/Peter Goalby/Lee Kerslake/John Sinclair)

Streets are full of rain
Lightning cracks the sky
Hear a lonely cry
Eyes full of pain

Searchin' in the darkness
Eyes pierce the night
Calling for her young one
As she walks towards the light

It's the Night Of The Wolf
Hear the cry of The Wolf

Streets paved with cold
Night gives out a warning
There's thunder in her heart
And mother wolf is calling

Searchin' in the shadows
For the one she must save
She cries out a prayer
Like a song from beyond the grave

It's the Night Of The Wolf
Hear the cry of The Wolf

The bells will toll
No one will sleep tonight
While she alone
Will walk the streets tonight

Sun begins to rise
All the streets washed with rain
Still hear her cries
Eyes burnt with pain

Returning to the twilight
Betrayed by the night
Screaming for her young one
As she walks towards the light

It's the Night Of The Wolf
Hear the cry of The Wolf

Unreleased tracks from this album:

SPLIT IMAGE (Mick Box/Lee Kerslake/John Sinclair/Peter Goalby/Bob Daisley)

It's the same old line
People get to you if they can
They take what they find
They will change you mind
They will fit you into their play
And then one day you'll wake up
As somebody else
Someone they advented

A split image
Don't let them burn you
Split image
Don't let them turn you
Split image
Just keeps coming back
Coming back, coming back
To who you are

And the wrong get born
And the right ones just stay away
What he's living for
If the wrong get born
And we don't have a word to say

And it's so hard to wake up
Or in right groove
A crack in the mirror

He's come ...
Remember who you are

BACK STAGE GIRL (Trevor Bolder/Mick Box/Peter Goalby/Lee Kerslake/John Sinclair)

Wanna hear some music
Wanna feel it
Play it nice 'n' loud
Will you be my sweetheart
Come backstage
Hang out with the crowd
Guess who's back in town

Her name is Lucille
She knows the words to all the songs
She talks in pictures
Can't stand her tongue
Lucille's back in town
She loves to rock you

She's goin' backstage
Gonna steal my heart away
Backstage girl, staged to love
She's goin' backstage
She's gonna burn away
Burnin' my stage
To steal my heart

Wanna taste my lovin'
Sure got candy rock'n'roll
Will you be my angel
Oh, Lucille of love
Backstage girl in town
She loves to rock you
