Lyrics

1. LOVE IS LIKE A ROCK

You can't depend on your teacher
You can't depend on your preacher
You can't depend on politicians
You can't depend on superstitions

[Chorus]
Said, hey
Love can rock you
Never stop you
Ah ah ah ah
Love is like a rock

You can't rely on mother nature
You can't rely on your pay cheque
You can't depend on your doctor, no no
You can't rely on your lawyer

[Chorus](x2)

You can't depend on your teacher
Teacher, teacher, teacher, teacher, teacher
You can't depend on your preacher
Preacher, preacher, preacher, preacher, preacher

Love is like a rock

[Chorus]

Said, hey
Love can rock you
Never stop you
Ah ah ah ah, hey, hey, hey
Love is like a rock, rock, rock, rock

[Chorus](x3)


2. THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE

Have you ever been lost in love, when you were seventeen
Have you ever had a dirty thought, an' tried to keep 'em clean
Did you ever have days like these, spend it on the job
Have you ever been lost in love, gone runnin' with the mob … runnin' with the mob

There are so many reasons, you keep on wantin' more
You're a friend in the bad times, that's what friends are for … woh

Have you ever been lost in love, I never would have guessed
They tell me you're a big boy now, well an' truly blessed
Did she ever go overboard, keep the wolf at bay
Have you ever been lost in love, it happens every day … happens every day

There are so many reasons, you keep on wantin' more
You're a friend in the bad times, that's what friends are for … yeah, yeah

There are so many reasons, you keep on wantin' more
You're a friend in the bad times, that's what friends are for

There are so many reasons, you keep on wantin' more
You're a friend in the bad times, that's what friends are for … woh, yeah


3. STILL THE SAME

Oh we ain't goin' nowhere
We're just looking for somewhere
Whatever pulled us apart
Is still the same - It's still the same

Oh we're all one day older
Your hands are gradually colder
What made me weak at the knees
Is still the same - It's still the same

Oh you ain't been so tender
Your smell ain't how I remember
Although your eau de cologne
Is still the same - It's still the same
Oh I ain't a great romancer
And I ain't got all of the answers
What made me weak at the knees
Is still the same - It's still the same

Nothing's changed - I'm taking the blame
No nothing has changed - It's still the same
Nothing's changed - Start over again
It's all in the game - It's still the same - It's still the same

Oh I know nothing's changing
I know I need re-arranging
I know I'm taking the blame
it's still the same - It's still the same

Oh I know nothing's changing
I know there's nothing remaining
I know it's all in the game
it's still the same - It's still the same

Nothing's changed - I'm taking the blame
No nothing has changed - It's still the same
Nothing's changed - Start over again
It's all in the game - It's still the same
It's still the same - Nothing's changed
Start over again - It's all in the game
It's still the same - It's still the same


4. FOOLS GO CRAZY

You break windows when you get mad
You go nowhere with Jack the Lad
You give Verbal to your old man
Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down

You go runnin' when it's your round
You ain't funny, a clown's a clown
An' you won't kick me, no, when I'm down
Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down

(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …
(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …
(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown
Don't you let me down

Your face don't fit, you're outta place
We're all washed-up in the Rat Race
You're all spaced-out, you're outta space
Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down

(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …
(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …
(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown
Don't you let me down

I know that I … An' I don't know why

You break windows when you get mad
You give earache when things go bad
Don't give heartache to your old man
Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down

(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …
(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …
(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown
Don't you let me down

(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …
(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …
(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown
I said don't you let me down

No, no, no, no … Oh, I don't know why
I'm actin' like a clown
I said don't you let me down … ooh


5. SHE'S HEAVY

Oh I don't complain when she squeezes me
Cos she's heavy
And I don't complain when she teases me
Cos she's heavy
Oh I don't complain when she turns up late
Asks me out I don't hesitate
Got a lot more loving with a lot more weight
And she's heavy
And she's heavy

Oh I don't object when she cooks a lot
Cos she's heavy
And I don't object when she calls the shots
And she's ready
She might need to lose just a pound or two
The lady knows how to bill and coo
Got so much more I can hold on to
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy

No no no, no more tonight
I can see what you bin saving
No no no, no more tonight
I can see you're misbehaving

When her temper rises she can shake the ground
And she's heavy
And there's plenty there to put your arms around
And she's ready
Her profile leaves you in no doubt
It's hard to handle such a big amount
See her through my eyes it's what's inside that counts
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy


6. WE WON'T GIVE IN

What do you do when they don't understand ya
What do you do to try and make this town
What do you say now to the man who brands ya
And tries to shoot you down

I'm never gonna give no I don't give in
I'm never gonna give cos I gotta win
Never ever gonna take anymore from those
Who shoot you down

What do you do when it don't go too easy
Nothing is easy in a crazy town
Nobody nowhere has got all the answers
They tried to shoot you down

I'm never gonna give no I don't give in
I'm never gonna give cos I gotta win
Never ever gonna take anymore from those
Who shoot you down

I'm never gonna give no I won't give in
Never ever gonna give cos I fight to win
Never ever gonna take anymore from those
Who shoot you down - Who shoot you down

We're never gonna give no we don't give in
We're never gonna give cos we gotta win
Never ever gonna take anymore from those
Who shoot you down

We're never gonna give no we don't give in
Never ever gonna give up the fight to win
Never ever gonna take anymore from those
Who shoot you down - Who shoot you down - Shoot you down


7. WON'T YOU ROCK WITH ME

Don't break my bones, or you're gonna get hurt
Don't break my bones, or you're gonna get burnt
Everybody go down, down, down, down, down
Everybody go round, round, round, round, round

Don't hold your breath, 'cos it's comin' on strong
You're what you eat, gonna drag me along
Everybody go down, down, down, down, down
Everybody go round, round, round, round, round

All together… Won't you rock with me

8. OOH LA LA IN L.A.

Whiplash in the dead of night
And down on Sunset dynamite
Blinding lights on the Marquee shining bright

There's George on his knees again
On the town with Miss Zimmerman
Alert the media and then my friend

Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band is this
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
Making out every turned on a hit and miss

You see the food and you feel the force
B.L.T. and there ain't no sauce
You get enough to feed a horse that's true

And down at Barney's playing pool
Minnesota Fats is ulta cool
A load of balls make you look a fool then you

Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band is this
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
Making out every turned on a hit and miss

Runaway on the radio
A powerplay every hour or so
A never ending red eyed T.V. show

Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band is this
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
Making out every turned on a hit and miss

It's in the dead of night
And it's a dynamite
The blinding lights are shining brighter and brighter
He's on his knees again
Alert the media my friend

Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band is this
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
Making out every turned on a hit and miss


9. ME AND THE BOYS

Me and the boys wanna dance and score
There is a monkey suit across the door
You ain't coming in now with your crazy crowd
Oh no there ain't no jeans allowed

Yeh hey we're going on the town
Me and the boys are gonna wear you down
Yeh hey we're going on our way
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.

Down at the Raj and we can all perspire
The Vindaloo kid has got his jeans on fire
Curry and lager are the spice of life
Next day they're gonna give me strife

Yeh hey we're going on the town
Me and the boys are gonna wear you down
Yeh hey we're going on our way
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K. yeh

Me and the boys well we got no doubt
You're never too old to be a gadabout
Can't take em anywhere they cause a ruck
Oh no they never will grow up

Yeh hey we're going on the town
Me and the boys are gonna wear you down
Yeh hey we're going on our way
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.

There in your jeans you know have cost the earth
You ain't coming in its more than my jobs worth
Look at the kid now with his shirt tail out
Oh no you wanna hear them shout

Yeh hey we're going on the town
Me and the boys are gonna wear you down
Yeh hey we're going on our way
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.


10. SING SHOUT (KNOCK YOURSELF OUT)

Oh, I wanna say it's a terrible shame
Gotta find out why It's gettin' too tame
An' I don't know why your sister don't go
You gotta bring her along to a rockin' good show
'Cos she's a mover … she's a mover

Gotta sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud
Sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud

Oh, we're gonna play just as loud as you like
An' there's electric comin' over just right
An' with a six-string, drum-beat, a-thunderin' bass
An' a fire down below to put a smile on her face
'Cos she's a mover … she's a mover

Gotta sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud
Sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud

Oh, ain't you got no home to go to
We'll be playin' all night if we leave it to you
Oh, I'm goin' down slow an' I'm gonna go get her
When she's good she's so good, An' when she's bad she's much better
'Cos she's a mover … an' she's a mover

Gotta sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud
Sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud

Sing shout knock yourself out … Sing shout knock yourself out
Sing it, shout it, knock yourself out …Sing shout knock yourself out


11. THE ROARING SILENCE

I hear the silence roar, The tiger's silver paw
Can rip you to the bone, I roar in silence alone
There's a never-ending stream, of never-ending dreams
You bring out the gypsy in me, can't you set this tearaway free

I hear the silence roar, we ain't above the law
She moves across a crowd, the roaring silence is loud
There's a never-ending stream, of never-ending dreams
You bring out the savage in me, fancy-free and no guarantee … yeah

There's a never-ending stream, of never-ending dreams
You bring out the gypsy in me, can't you set this tearaway free
The roaring silent sound, take your defences down
All quiet on the western front, the roaring silence is gone
The roaring silence is gone, the roaring silence is gone


12. IT'S HARD HAVING FUN NOWADAYS

Oh there were five ten fifteen men
Bouncing beer bellies and they're dancing round again
Two four six and maybe eight
Rowdy people rocking giving it the G.B.H.

It's hard having fun nowadays
So we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays

C'mon let me tell ya
There were hard case men about the house
Dreaming of Samantha in a well filled blouse
Black white yellow livewires
Getting on together like a house on fire

It's hard having fun nowadays
So we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays

Let me tell ya let me tell ya

Oh there were
High jinx everybody quit it
Looking all around me like a bomb has hit it
Knock knock anybody there
Piccadilly is a circus and Leicester is a square

It's hard having fun nowadays
So we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays
Hit it hit it hit it hit it - Hit it hit it hit it hit it
It's hard having fun nowadays
So we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays
Let me tell ya let me tell ya
It's hard having fun nowadays
You just gotta find some new ways
It's hard having fun nowadays
It's hard having fun nowadays
So we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays
It's hard having fun nowadays
And we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays
