Sweet dreams last night

07. HOW TO PICK UP GIRLS

Well, hey big brother came home and locked the door to his room
I could learn a little lesson, something they should teach in school
Send away five dollars to the cover of a girlie magazine
Said he finally found a way to end his own wet dreams
It’s the same everywhere, every place, right round the world
Every guy I know you know all they all know the score
Cause one ain’t enough even two cause we all want more
So let me tell you all about the ways of how to pick up girls

How to pick up girls
How to pick up girls
How to pick up girls
How to pick up girls, yeah

Listen up close and I’ll tell you what you gotta do

See the one in the corner, the blonde who is so out of reach
You know she wants to rock but you can’t find the power of speech
So slide on up and try to show a little bit of class
Mention her eyes and her lips and her hips and don’t forget ask
What’s your number baby?
Come on honey this place is such a bore
I got all you need and maybe a whole lot more
Cause the name of the game is to live it up and give it a whirl

Step five, for a moonlight drive
Step six, that’s when you learn your licks
Step seven, I hope you come prepared, ‘cause
Eight, nine, ten, brother you’re in heaven

Everywhere, every place right round the world

08. FIRST THING ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL (I REMEMBER)

Slam the door screaming off into the night
I couldn’t stand to listen to the oldies’ fight
Going down the way to a bar downtown
Slip through the backdoor, no one around
Into the darkness of a smoke filled room
Sweat smelled sweeter then Draculas’ tomb
Starting with a crash and a bolt of light
I couldn’t believe what I saw that night

First thing about rock and roll I remember
I heard that sound I thought I’d live forever
The first thing about rock and roll I remember
Oh when the music stopped I thought I was gonna die

Pounding like a hammer on a cold steel brain
Rhythm pumpin’ hot blood through my veins
Guitar slinger shooting sparks through me
Drummer stood up and shouted one, two, three
Out of my body and out of my mind
Crawlin’ round looking for an exit sign
No way out, there was no way back
When I felt that first full frontal attack

First thing about rock and roll I remember
I heard that sound I thought I’d live forever
The first thing about rock and roll I remember
Oh when the music stopped I thought I was gonna die
Yeah when the music stopped I felt like I would die

Get down

My ears were bleeding
My eyes were burning
Hands were shakin’ trapped inside that room
Walls were crashing
Wet bodies thrashing
My brain was mashing
As the band played out of tune

First thing about rock and roll I remember
I heard that sound I thought I’d live forever
Oh the first thing about rock and roll I remember
When the music stopped I thought I was gonna die
When the music stopped I thought I was gonna die
Die… Die…
Oh when the music stopped I felt like I would die
Die… Die…
Oh when the music stopped I felt like I would…

09. BLOOD RUN COLD

The first time you bit me baby gave me a fright, yeah
You always seem to squeeze just a little too tight, sugar
I knew that I was chickin’ when you shed your skin
And I saw you creepin’ round the burnin’ backwoods again, yeah

Make my blood run cold
Like poison in my veins
You chill me down to the bone
You’re just a low down snake woman
Make my blood run cold
Like poison in my veins
You chill me down to the bone
You’re like a low down snake woman

Oh, I love when you hiss me with your long forked tongue
And you only gotta rattle your tail and I come
I‘m never gonna trust your evil reptile ways, never
All that slippin’ and a slidin’ got me all in a daze baby, you know it

Make my blood run cold
Like poison in my veins
You chill me down to the bone
You’re just a low down snake woman
You make my blood run cold
Like poison in my veins
You chill me down to the bone
You’re just a low down snake woman

You take a shot at my back
Oooh, and then you leave me to die
Hey now if you’re going to doubt it
Hell my baby is bye, bye, bye, bye-bye

Oooh I’m out of here

You make my blood run cold
Like poison in my veins
You chill me down to the bone
You’re just a low down snake woman
You make my blood run cold
Like poison in my veins
You chill me down to the bone
You’re just a low down snake woman

10. SHOT ME AN ARROW

I remember Evie and her lonely dreamy eyes
And I still keep the secret that she told me that starry night
So deep in meaning like we were hypnotized
But it all seemed so senseless why we never did say goodbye

Shot me an arrow
Aimed straight for the heart
A long single arrow
Shot into the dark
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
My, my, my

Hey Cliff

Out to California
Deep, deep blue sea
She spoke to me black magic
But it didn’t mean shit to me
Out on the horizon
I saw an earthquake there
‘twas there I found my baby
Falling off the edge of hell

Shot me an arrow
Ain’t never gonna fall
It’s a long single arrow
Baby answer my call
Yeah, yeah

Told me she loved me but never goodbye
Told me she loved me ‘til the day I die
Never get lonely I just don’t understand
That’s how it goes playing in a band

Shot me an arrow
Aimed straight for the heart
It’s a long single arrow
Shot into the dark
Yeah, yeah
Shot me an arrow
Ain’t never gonna fall
It’s a long poisoned arrow
Baby answer my call
Yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh my, my, my

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, yeah

11. SWEET REVENGE

I crashed into a woman drove a reckless heart
Well she ran me down, chewed me up and spat me out and ripped me apart

Well I just want sweet revenge
You know I can’t forgive and forget and I won’t pretend
She even called me up claiming we could still be friends
Well tell ya I just want sweet revenge
So sweet

I still remember drowning in her liquid love
She had me trapped like a sticky finger in a velvet glove

Well I just want sweet revenge
You know I can’t forgive and forget and I won’t pretend
She even called me up claiming we could still be friends
Oh no I tell ya I just want sweet revenge

Well I just want that sweet revenge
You cut me deep, so deep I may never mend
I think I’ll stick around right til the bitter end
Well I just want sweet revenge, yeah
Well, I just want sweet revenge
Well, I just want sweet revenge
Well, I just want sweet revenge

Sweet revenge
Sweet revenge
Sweet revenge

I just want, yeah, sweet revenge
I just want sweet revenge
Watch your back, baby
Watch your back

12. FUZZ

It’s just so funny but I don’t like the fuzz

The man was born in a uniform now
It gave him power and he liked the feeling
Now I got a problem with authority
They always seem to come down on me, yeah
There you go

It’s just so funny but I don’t like the fuzz
It’s just so funny but I don’t like the fuzz

They chase me down in a police car now
In my rear view mirror saw a fuzz fire there
Well I was up but they were down
And they dragged me out and pushed me ‘round
Said son, you’re a danger to society
I was only doin’ 99 or 118 well

It’s just so funny but I don’t like the fuzz
It’s just so funny but I like no fuzz

Evenin’ all

Alright

It’s a dirty job but they love to do it
Well why would anyone put themselves through it
Well I get so angry, I get so violent
Son you have the right to remain silent

It’s just so funny but I don’t like the fuzz
It’s just so funny but I like no fuzz at all
Well, it’s just so funny but I don’t like the fuzz
It’s just so funny but I don’t like the fuzz
It’s just so funny
I’s completely sat’ched in fuzz

14. DON’T PASS ME BY

Drifter
Him the one they call drifter
And so the story must be told ’bout the lonely man walking down that road of life

Sometimes life to me is strange (You are strange)
Stranger now my heart I can’t arrange (Aaaaaaaah)
I’ve seen lust and trust both turned to dust (Me to man)
The only lonely I know what I’ve lost (What you’ve lost)
Oh lying here thinkin’ ‘bout the things that went wrong (That’s bad),
Oh wrong
Smokin’, drinkin’, shuffling through streets that I’ve done
I’ve done

So I say
Love please don’t pass me by (Don’t pass him by)
Oh love please don’t pass me by
Oh love please don’t pass me by
Oh love please don’t pass me by

Come play a tone in me heart strings
Come play a tone in me heart
Come play a tone on me heart strings
Come play a tone in me heart
They say love, love, love, love, love don’t pass me by
Aah love, love, love, love, love don’t pass me by
Love

Oh, the noose is loose it’s truth time to confess (At the altar)
Ooh my whole life’s a sucking mess (So sad)
Well the hurt is deeper, deeper, deeper than the heart, the heart, the heart, the heart
Hidin’ all my pain is a work of art (Like Picasso)
Oh I’ve been wonderin’ how I got my heart just to be so tough (You ain’t tough)
I’m tough
I’ve been searching, drilling, digging, baby looking for them diamonds in the rough
(Tell them brother, tell them)

One time
Love please don’t pass me by (Don’t pass him by, don’t pass him by)
Aah love please don’t pass me by
Aah love please don’t pass me by (Don’t look back you’ll see him cry)
Mmm love please don’t pass me by

Well I say rubbidubbdubb
Rubbidubbdubb
Rubbidubbdubb put me in a tub
Rubbidubbdubb come on give me back a rub
I say rubbidubbdubb dub dub dub

Oh I know a little girlie around the back of my street
Most pretty little creature that you ever want meet
She been hurt once, she been hurt twice
So you don’t mislead her but you treat her real nice
Slow down Casanova I know what you’re thinking
One wink your heart starts to sinking
Love, love, love, love, love don’t pass her by

Aah love please don’t pass me by
Aah love please don’t pass me by
I’m gonna keep looking (We’re looking)
I’m gonna keep searching (We’re searching)
I’m like Sherlock Holmes baby and I know you’re hard to find (It’s elementary my dear Watson)
Around here somewhere

15. RISE UP

Oh yeah
There’s a place, you gotta know
This way
What you want to say
Are you ready

You ain’t gotta roam
Or hide in no small space
Shallow be the one who hides from the sun, baby
This is your hole this is your rightful place
Somebody watching
You think that I know you’ve had enough
But never give in before you begin
Sayin’ everybody rise up

Rise up
Up, everybody rise up
Oh yeah, rise up
Everybody rise up
Rise up, oh yeah
Come on

Is everybody feeling good right now
You wanna ask yourself a question
You wanna ask yourself a question sometimes
Is there a place that you can go where those rumours have a hold to the back of your mind
Now do you wanna rise up, do you wanna rise up
Do you wanna rise up, do you wanna rise up
I think you do
Who are you

Rise up, up
Everybody rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up
Everybody rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise mmmmmmm
Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up
Rise up

Set ’em up
Set ’em up
Set ’em up, baby I’ll knock ’em down
And you know that the world is a jungle
There’s reasons for the things you say
There’s reasons for the things you can do
That’s part of you, see you, you gotta rise up
Rise up baby
I can’t hear you
On your feet
Rise up, up
Everybody rise up
Yeah
Rise up, rise up
Rise up, everybody rise up
Yeah

It’s good to be wild sometimes
It’s good to be wild sometimes
Like in your face
Back in your face

I can hear it
I can smell it
I can feel it coming up through the ground
