Hold onto your hat, hold onto your heart
Ready, get set to tear this place apart
Don't need a ticket, only place in town
That'll take you up to heaven and never bring you down
Anything goes! Anything goes!
Women to the left, Women to the right
There to entertain and take you thru the night
So grab a little heat and come along with me
'Cause your mama don't mind what your mama don't see
Anything goes! Anything goes!
Rock! Rock! till you drop
Rock! Rock! never stop
Rock! Rock! till you drop
I say Rock! Rock! to the top
Ridin' into danger, laughin' all the way
Fast, free and easy, livin' for today
Gotta lip service, get it while you can
Hot, sweat 'n' nervous love on demand
Anything goes! Anything goes!
Rock! Rock! Give it to me
It's what I got goin' thru' me
Don't ever stop do it to me
Yeah, Rock! Rock! You really move me
Hold on, hold on, hold tight
We're gonna rock tonight
Too loud man, too loud

Photograph
Huh!
I'm outa luck, outa love
Gotta photograph, picture of
Passion killer, you're too much
You're the only one I wanna touch
I see your face every time I dream
On every page, every magazine
So wild so free so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy
Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh Oh, look what you've done
Photograph - I don't want your
Photograph - I don't need your
Photograph - All I've got is a photograph
But it's not enough
I'd be your lover, if you were there
Put your hurt on me, if you dare
Such a woman, you got style
You make every man feel like a child
You got some kinda hold on me
You're all wrapped up in mystery
So wild so free so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy
Oh, Look what you've done to this rock'n'roll clown
Oh Oh, Look what you've done
[Repeat chorus]
You've gone straight to my head
I'm outa luck, outa love
Gotta photograph, picture of
Passion killer, you're too much
You're the only one I wanna touch
I see your face every time I dream
On every page, every magazine
So wild so free so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy
Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh Oh, look what you've done

Stagefright
I said Welcome to my show
It's just a-you and me baby
We got the whole damn night to go
You're holding out on me, while I'm on fire
If you can't stand the heat, then you should try
Victim of my vices, you know you are
You skate on ice to paradise, stairway to the stars
Stagefright all night, won't you let go
All night Stagefright, on with the show
You come on like a lady dressed to kill
Never thought you could be caught, but you will
A Little understanding, a little love
A headline act around the back, is what I'm thinkin' of
Stagefright All night, Won't you let go
All night Stagefright, On with the show
Stagefright All night, You're dream starts today
All night Stagefright, is only a heartbeat away
You're going for my head, you're going down
Gettin' good at being bad, you're hangin' round
A fun inspired asylum, toys for the boys
Love on the rocks, forget-me-nots, you got no change
It's just a-you and me baby
We got the whole damn night to go
You're holding out on me, while I'm on fire
If you can't stand the heat, then you should try
Victim of my vices, you know you are
You skate on ice to paradise, stairway to the stars
Stagefright all night, won't you let go
All night Stagefright, on with the show
You come on like a lady dressed to kill
Never thought you could be caught, but you will
A Little understanding, a little love
A headline act around the back, is what I'm thinkin' of
Stagefright All night, Won't you let go
All night Stagefright, On with the show
Stagefright All night, You're dream starts today
All night Stagefright, is only a heartbeat away

Too Late For Love
Somewhere in the distance I hear the bells ring
Darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing
The lady 'cross the street she shuts out the night
There's a cast of thousands waiting as she turns out the light
But it's too late, too late, too late
Too late for love
Yes it's too late too late, too late
Too late for love
London boys are staring as the girls go hand in hand
With a pocket full of innocence, their entrance is grand
And the Queen of the dream stands before them all
She stretches out her hand as the curtains start to fall
Standing by the trapdoor aware of me and you
Are the actor and the clown their waiting for their cue
And there's a lady over there she's acting pretty cool
But when it comes to playing life she's always playin' the fool
Darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing
The lady 'cross the street she shuts out the night
There's a cast of thousands waiting as she turns out the light
But it's too late, too late, too late
Too late for love
Yes it's too late too late, too late
Too late for love
London boys are staring as the girls go hand in hand
With a pocket full of innocence, their entrance is grand
And the Queen of the dream stands before them all
She stretches out her hand as the curtains start to fall
Standing by the trapdoor aware of me and you
Are the actor and the clown their waiting for their cue
And there's a lady over there she's acting pretty cool
But when it comes to playing life she's always playin' the fool

Die Hard The Hunter
Shotgun
Let's welcome home the soldier boy from (Far away, far away)
No angel of mercy just a need to destroy (Fire away, fire away)
Let's toast the hero with blood in his eyes
The scars on his mind took so many lives
Die Hard the Hunter
Welcome home soldier boy
Put down your pistol, yeah, put down your toy
Yeah, they can take your gun away from you
But never take away your attitude
They can't do that, no, they can't do that
You got no enemy, no front line
The only battles in the back of your mind
You don't know how to change from bad to good
You brought the war to your neighbourhood
Back in the city, he's a man on the loose
He is the shadow that's following you
He takes no prisoners when he's hunting for game
He's got a bullet and it carries your name
(Die hard) Caught in a trap
(Hunter) There's no lookin' back
(Die hard) He hides in the crowd
(Hunter) Die Hard and Proud

Foolin
Lady luck never smiles
So lend your love to me, awhile
Do with me what you will
Break the spell take your fill
On and on we rode the storm
The flame has died, the fire has gone
Oh, this empty bed is a night alone
I realized that long ago
Is anybody out there? Anybody there?
Does anybody wonder? Anybody care?
Oh, I just gotta know
If you're really there and you really care
'Cause baby I'm not
F-F-F-Foolin', Ah F-F-Foolin'
Not F-F-F-Foolin', Ah F-F-Foolin'
Won't you stay with me awhile
close your eyes don't run and hide
Easy love is no easy ride
Just wakin' up from what we had
Could stop good love from going bad
So lend your love to me, awhile
Do with me what you will
Break the spell take your fill
On and on we rode the storm
The flame has died, the fire has gone
Oh, this empty bed is a night alone
I realized that long ago
Is anybody out there? Anybody there?
Does anybody wonder? Anybody care?
Oh, I just gotta know
If you're really there and you really care
'Cause baby I'm not

Comin Under Fire
Your kind of woman gotta heart of stone
But watch it break when I get you alone
Take a chance, come lay down with me
Oh, I wanna make it
Slow and steady never lost the race
Don't stop runnin', I'm a fool for the chase
Play the game, surrender to me
Baby, I don't wanna fake it
Is it any wonder, you got me comin' under fire?
Comin' like thunder, you know you make me walk the wire
It's so easy to put on a show
Your body says yes but you won't let it go
But my passion it won't slip away
You got me, I'm cornered, my back to the wall
No bed of roses, ain't no bed at all
I'm walkin' the wire, I stumble and fall
I got the message but I ain't gonna crawl
But watch it break when I get you alone
Take a chance, come lay down with me
Oh, I wanna make it
Slow and steady never lost the race
Don't stop runnin', I'm a fool for the chase
Play the game, surrender to me
Baby, I don't wanna fake it
Is it any wonder, you got me comin' under fire?
Comin' like thunder, you know you make me walk the wire
It's so easy to put on a show

Billys Got A Gun
Billy's got a gun, he's on the run
Confusion in his mind, the blind leads the blind
Yeah, Billy's got a gun, he's gonna shoot ya down
He's got evil in his eyes, got a reason to despise
There's danger in the air
Can you feel it in the air? (There's danger in the air)
Danger (such a strange emotion)
Can you feel it in the air?
Oh yeah
Oh he was locked inside a room without a door
His innocence he suffered for
In a world of black and white, they were wrong and he was right
Just looking for a clue, it's a nightmare come true
He's going underground to track that danger down
Oh Billy, and why you got that gun?
Can you feel it in the air? (There's danger in the air)
Danger (such a strange emotion)
Can you feel it in the air?
Never give him an even break
Gettin' caught is the chance you take
It could be your last mistake
(You could be so helpless)
As a bird with a broken wing
Like a sheep in a lion's den
Gonna fall but you won't know when
It's gonna get you
You hear footsteps in the night, see shadows on the wall
And the ghostly sound of silence, as the mist begins to fall
Then a scream rang out like thunder, but the lightning was too late
As the rain came down on the crimson ground
It was the hand of fate
And a crowd of people gathered 'round, but Billy couldn't wait
Can you feel it in the air? (There's danger in the air)
Danger (such a strange emotion)
Can you feel it in the air?
Never give him an even break
Gettin' caught is the chance you take
It could be your last mistake
As a bird with a broken wing
