1. AGAIN AND AGAIN

Once upon a time not so very long ago
There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n'roll show
You had to sit at home and listen to the radio
Then came a man with a rockin' guitar
Found himself a beat and he played it near and far
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll

Again again again again again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
Again again again again again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?

He travelled round the world in a rock-n-roll band
He stood there like a giant with a guitar in his hand
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear
Nobody cared about the colour of his hair
Everybody came to see and let the good times roll

Again again again again again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
Again again again again again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?

Now we've got the rhythm in us now we've got the rock
Time didn't matter never living by the clock
Everybody came to hear him playing his rock-n-roll
Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme
He couldn't find the rhyme 'cos he couldn't find the time
But still the people came to listen to the good times roll

Again again again again again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
Again again again again again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
Again again again again again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?


2.I'M GIVING UP MY WORRYING

I'm giving up my worrying
It doesn't fit my way
I've had enough of worrying
And messing up my day

Somebody made me laugh today, it changed the way I am
He terrorised the neighbourhood so I can take the blame
If I take a look, just a little look, I know I'll be too late
So shall I take a look, 'cos every time I look
Little, little, just a little late

I'm giving up my worrying
It doesn't fit my way
I've had enough of worrying
And messing up my day

It doesn't help me listening to everything I hear
It doesn't make no difference, it never is too clear

I saw a lookalike today, he was a lot to see
He was familiar anyway, he looked a lot like me
Shall I take a look, just a little look, it isn't very clear
Oh every time I look, if I take a look
Little, little, just a little late

I'm giving up my worrying
It doesn't fit my way
I've had enough of worrying
And messing up my day

It doesn't help me listening to everything I hear
It doesn't make no difference, it never is too clear

I'm giving up my worrying
I've had enough of worrying
I'm giving up my worrying
I've had enough of worrying
I'm giving up my worrying
I've had enough of worrying


3.GONNA TEACH YOU TO LOVE ME

You're setting me up, you're turning me down
You're turning me over and spinning me round
You think you run the show and so you'd better get ready
I'm gonna read you the score, I'm gonna teach you to love me

I'm checking you out, I'm checking you in
I'm checking you over before I begin
I'm gonna show you how and baby you're gonna make it
Because I told you before, I'm gonna teach you to love me

You played around, you took me for a ride
I'm the one that always had to try
Now there's no more changing me, and baby can't you see
That all I want is no more changing you

I'm picking you up, I'm putting you down
I'm turning you over and spinning you round
Because I'm running the show, I'm gonna teach you to love me
I'm gonna even the score, I'm gonna teach you to love me.

I'm picking you up and putting you down
I'm turning you over and spinning you round
Because I'm running the show, I'm gonna teach you to love me
I'm gonna even the score, I'm gonna teach you to love me.
Because I told you before, I'm gonna teach you to love me
You know I told you before, I'm gonna teach you to love me


4. SOMEONE SHOW ME HOME

Down by the side of the hotel all-nighter
Is your old grey door
Men gather round with the fear that a lawman
Will come to clean up the floor
One a week it all begins
10:15 for sure

Smoke fills the room, they arrive in a hurry
Bring the tears to my eyes

Someone show me outta here
Someone show me home
Someone show me, I can't stay
To see you act that way

Out on the street people moving in closer
I take the lift nineteen floors
Right to the top to the edge set for falling
I look down to see you there

Someone show me outta here
Someone show me home
Someone show me, I can't stay
To see you act that way

Someone show me outta here
Someone show me home
Someone show me, I can't stay
To see you act that way

6.OH ! WHAT A NIGHT

Walking the tightropeAnd losing the poleI hung on by
My teethOne of those nightsThat didn't feel too
RightGonna try myself to sleepOh what a nightOh what a Flight it wasOh, oh what a nightNo
Telephone newsAnd I'm missing youI can't
Afford to phoneThere's a thousand peopleUsing
My roomBut I've never felt so aloneI picture
You faceI keep hearing your voiceI'm dying in
The sheets I daren't think too muchSo I drink so
MuchI still can't get to sleep


7.ACCIDENT PRONE

I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun

They say the devil loves his own
And lady you just got the roll
He drives you modus-operandi
Well lady you don't get this soul
What you call love I can't take no more
Go knock on someone else's door

I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun

'Cos you specialise your own kind of lies
Lady you just hit and run
I just wanna say you keep driving that way
And one day you will be undone

I try to love you my way
But lady you just wouldn't slow down
You drove a right on through me
When other guys came around
What you call love wouldn't give to a stray
I wouldn't treat a dog that way

I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun

'Cos you specialise your own kind of lies
Lady you just hit and run
I just wanna say you keep driving that way
And one day you will be undone

One day you'll have to slow down
And lady it could be too late
You keep on acceleratin'
And lady I could see your fate
No-one wants a second-hand car
They know it been push too far

I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun

'Cos you specialise your own kind of lies
Lady you just hit and run
You're draggin'me down with this riding around
And one day you will be undone

I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun


8.STONES

I'm moving on, I don't know where
But, I've just gotta get me away, from here
So long gone, I'm lost in time
Looking for an answer, waiting for a sign

Stones in my head, stones in my head
I don't know how to break stones in my head

I'm reaching out, I don't feel a thing
The gloves, that I'm wearing are made of my skin
No-one knows what I'm tryin' to hide
But when I start breaking you'll see through my eyes

Stones in my head, stones in my head
I'm trying hard to break stones in my head

It's cold out here, still I'm feeling fine
'cos no one's gonna ask me to come on inside
I don't wanna know but I guess I do
'cos maybe these stones are made out of you

Stones in my head, stones in my head
I really wanna break stones in my head

I'm moving on, I don't know where
But, I've just gotta get me away, from here
So long gone, I'm lost in time
Looking for an answer, waiting for a sign

Stones in my head, stones in my head
I don't know how to break stones in my head
Stones in my head, stones in my head
I really want to break stones in my head


9.LET ME FLY

I've been so lonely
I can't find any way
So long since I lost my way
I've got a feeling
You're gonna run away anyday
Why does it always seem to be me?

So let me fly
Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly-y-y away
I wanna climb really high
All the time in the sky
Wanna stay up there all day
So let me fly
Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly-y-y
Getting away
So after today
Let me fly, fly, fly away

You say you're all right
You don't care anyway
I'm listening, you're trying to say
You think I'm crazy
You're thinking you got everything right
But you're fooling no-one else but yourself

So let me fly
Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly-y-y away
I wanna climb really high
All the time in the sky
Wanna stay up there all day
So let me fly
Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly-y-y
Getting away
So after today
Let me fly, fly, fly away

If you get lonely
You can't get along by yourself
If you're finding
You're needing me
Don't wait forever
For me to come a-following you
I'll wait here, you come back by yourself

And we can fly
We can fly like a bird in the sky
We can fly-y-y away
And we can climb really high
All the time in the sky
Gonna stay up there all day
Oh let me fly
Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly-y-y, getting away
So after today
Let me fly, fly, fly away


10.LIKE A GOOD GIRL

As I looked across
To where she was before
I didn't have long
To wait around here anymore

We went to a place
That I hadn't seen before
She worked me over
Then she went away

She looked to me like a good girl
I played along like a fool
I paid a lot just to find out
She's no exeption to the rule

As I carried on
Looking here and there
I couldn't believe
She worked it out
And it worked on me

I guessed early on
But it didn't click inside
She knew my weakness
And she knew my name

She looked to me like a good girl
I played along like a fool
I paid a lot just to find out
She's no exeption to the rule

As I carried on
Looking here and there
I couldn't believe
She worked it out
And it worked on me

We went to a place
That I hadn't seen before
She worked me over
Then she went away

She looked to me like a good girl
I played along like a fool
I paid a lot just to find out
She's no exeption to the rule
