If you get lonely on your daddy's farm
Just remember I don't live too far
And there's a red bridge that arcs the bay, yeah
You'll be at my place in less that a day

So get on your bad motor scooter and ride
Up over to my place and stay all night
First thing in the morning we'll be feeling all right
So get on your bad motor scooter and ride

Ooh, the last I seen your face
I swore that no one would take your place
Now since you've been gone I've been feelin' bad, yeah
I'd come out to your place (but) I'm afraid of your dad

So you get on your bad motor scooter and ride
Up over to my place and stay all night
First thing in the morning we'll be feeling all right
So get on your bad motor scooter and ride

Ride, ride, ride
Come on baby, ooh yeah
Crank it on up
Get on your bad motor scooter

. . .


All right!
Come on, now!
Ooh, yeah!

Got it in me, I've got it in me,
Ain't gonna quit until it all comes out.
Gonna do it, ain't nothin' to it
Just shake my hips, throw my head back and shout...
Been a long education
But my homework is done.

I'm gonna rock the nation
Just-a wanna have fun, yeah!

Gonna shake it and I ain't gonna break it
I'm gonna show you what it's all about.
Got it in me, got it in me now,
Ain't gonna quit 'till it all comes out.
Been a long education
But my homework is done.

I'm about to rock the nation
Just a-wanna have fun
Fun

Oh, yeah!
Have some fun!
All across the nation
Gonna run all across the nation

Come on!

Rock the nation

Got it in me, oww..
Don't wanna quit until it all comes out
Gonna shake it, ain't gonna break it
I'm gonna show you what it's all about.
Been a long education
But my homework is done.

I'm about to rock the nation
Rock the nation

Jagger-Richards

Everything is going in the wrong direction.
Doctor wants to give me more injections.
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections
And I don't know if he'll let me go.
I just can't make no connection, whoa no.
All I want to do is get back to you.
My bags, they get a very close inspection,
I wonder why it is they suspect 'em?
They're trying to add me to their collection
And I don't know if they'll let me go, oh no.
And I can't make no connection, no
And all I want to do is get back to you.
Yeah, I can't make no connection, baby.
All I want to do...All I want to do...
No connection,
I just can't make no connection.
All I want to do baby, yeah.
Everything I wanna do is get back to you.

Hagar-Montrose

I play the game of a rich boy,
I buy everything I can.
My bankroll is a foot thick,
I'm a wealthy man.
A million dollar reserve note is right there in my hand
And I can't stand to think...it's all that I've got.
Take away all my silver
Take away all my gold
And hand me a stack of paper
Paper money don't hold. Paper money don't hold.
Well, you act as though you don't remember
The way it all used to be.
Now one man, he locks up the money
Another man holds the key.
My car cost me fifteen grand,
Some say I got a deal.
Melt it down, I've got a thousand pounds of junk
And ten dollars worth of steel.

. . .



You lay by my side in the still of the night
Let morning bring forth, all that's wondrous, wondrous to light
You could have made it, made it more plain
When I hear that, hear that soft refrain
And I hear you gently sigh

Chorus:
I wanna take you where flamingos fly
(Flamingos fly)
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky,
That's where flamingos fly

As we lie in the dark and hear the sweet song of the nightingale
And we listen for the lark, and I wanna tell you babe, tell you a
tale
With the soft wind blowin', blowin' outside
Hey I wanna take that moonlight ride
And I hear you gently sigh, babe

[Chorus]

And I'm silently waiting
For that morning light to shine
And I'm looking at you, lookin at me, and I'm lookin' at you
And I'm anticipating with each and every sign
Yes, I'm lookin' at you, lookin' at me,
Lookin' at you, lookin' at me, lookin' back at you

And I'm findin' that road
That road that will take me, take me back home to you baby
And I'll carry the load where the deer and angels roam
Where happiness touches, touches the now
I don't where it came from, I don't how, and I,
And I hear you gently sigh, babe

[Chorus x 2]

Keep on a rockin', keep on a rockin')
(Keep on a rock n roll's gonna never die)

I was born in the fifties
I was loud and electric
Didn't I turn you on?
Got all shook up with Elvis
Yeah, yeah, I've been Beatled
I've been Rolling Stoned

Watch it!
A hot flash at Woodstock
I encored there
With your favorite song

The crowd was screamin',
"Give us rock n roll!"
When the spotlight hits me
I always steal the show

(Keep on a rockin', keep on a rockin')
(Keep on a rock n roll's gonna never die)

Baby I am the music
I am every note and I'm every chord
I'm the star of tomorrow
Yeah, I'm the holy ghost of the ever more
Oooh yeah

The crowd was screamin',
"Give us rock n roll!"
When the spotlight hits me
Put on my axe and I blow...

Like this:
Fats Domino..
Shake, rattle, and roll all night long
When the rock is right, you can't go wrong, no
(no, you can't go wrong)
Some things never last
But the beat goes on and on and on and on
Oooh baby, you rock on

(Keep on a rockin', keep on a rockin')
(Keep on a rock n roll's gonna never die)
You just keep on a rockin', and you roll it
Rock n roll it, rock n roll it all night long
Baby, you just rock it , rock n roll it all night long...

Cruisin' & Boozin'

[No lyrics]

I often wonder how the Fillmore Shuffle
Caught us both in the very same year.
I guess we were foolish, but so glad to do it
Face down in the hallway, but never any tears.
The first one to go was sweet William.
I guess we should, we should have been warned
But it felt so good to be quittin'
We thought we were causing nobody any harm
So we kept lying to each other saying
"I'm gonna quit it tomorrow," but tomorrow never comes
"I'll quit it tomorrow," but tomorrow never comes
Tomorrow never comes
And I guess our life reads just a novel
Though we both keep hoping for so much more.
We keep on tryin' to understand
Why we keep on livin', livin' this way.
Tryin' to keep thinks together is the reason I stay.
And she says to me, "Baby, honey, I feel so bad."
Then she goes out walkin' and she stays out so late
And I know where she's goin', to myself, I say...
Call it the Fillmore Shuffle


. . .



I've read it all, it's black and white
The spectrum made a shade I like.
The crimson rays are ruby bright
Technicolor light.
Red! I want red, there's no substitute for red.
Red! Paint it red, green ain't mean compared to red.
You don't know what it does to me,
My crimson intensity
I'm haunted by the mystery,
The mystey of red.
Red knocks 'em dead,
Some like it hot, I like it read.
Red is my lover, got it covered
Red is my number, sure as a coma
Red is my drummer, and I hear red thunder
Move over brother,
Red's a motherfu...(cker)
(Red! Red!)
Thats' what I said...
(Red! Red!)
Come on to bed
(Red! Red!)
Gimme' that expensive spread..


. . .



Fill me up to the top and take me away
To some little hidin' place in old Monterey
'Cause you, you make me crazy
Can't keep my hands off of you, can't leave you alone.
You've got the sweetest smile and a style of your own.
And you, mmm, you make me crazy.
Yeah, you, you make me crazy.
Oh well I don't wanna know about your past
Lets think of what we've got and make a good thing last
'Cause you, you make me crazy
Well you knock me out,
Oooh, but it feels all right.
You turn me on all day and.
You keep me up all night.
Oh, yeah.
Call all my friends to say, "I'm leavin' town"
Anytime my baby comes around.
And ooh, mmm, makes me crazy.
Well I'm crazy, crazy.
Crazy 'bout you baby.
I'm crazy, crazy, crazy
I'm crazy 'bout you baby.
I'm crazy 'bout my baby.
I'm crazy, crazy 'bout my baby.
'Cause you, you make me crazy.
I'm outta my mind.
You make me crazy.
Oh, this can't be right, no.
You make me crazy.
Got me up all night.
You make me crazy.
Crazy, crazy 'bout you baby.
You make me crazy.
Oh, it's so wrong, but it's all right, yeah.
You make me crazy.
Oh, baby
You make me crazy.

This one way love affair ain't fair
It ain't no kind of fair to me
It's all give and take, and you just take
And I can't take it, you see

Well, I'm givin' up on love this time
Me and my friends, we'll do just fine
Because

I've done everything for you
Oh yeah, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothin' for me
You've done nothin' for me

Yeah, you knew that someday I'd have a whole lotta money
And be a millionaire
Yeah, but when that didn't happen overnight
I found out how much you really cared

Yeah, all you want is a whole lotta money
All the rest is just jivin' honey

I've done everything for you
Aw lord, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
I've done everything, you've done nothin' for me
(You've done nothin' for me)

Now wait a minute
When I first met you, you didn't know how to hook a man
(You've done nothin')
There was so many things about makin' love you didn't understand
(You've done nothin')
Yeah, but now you know about everything
And I'm tradin' you in on a pair of wings

I've done everything for you
Yeah, yeah, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
Baby, you've done nothing for me
You've done nothing for me

Now I'm going out on the town tonight and get as wild as I can be
I'm gonna find out what it's really like to be loose, high and free
Yeah and I don't care what them people say
'Cause I'll change my mind, i'm changin' to stay

I've done everything for you
Baby, baby you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
You, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
Everything, but nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
Baby, you've done nothin' for me

You've done nothin' for me
You, you've done nothin' for me
You've done nothin'
You've done nothin'
You've done nothin' for me
Zero, nothin' ow!

Cancelled flights, limousines
Hustle bustles, crazy scenes
First you're here, then you're there
Pretty soon man, you been everywhere

Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in hell

Time ticks away, faster, faster
You run so fast you forget what you're after
You make a deal to sell your soul
Just to find out, baby, it's been sold

Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in hell
Burn in hell

Not me, baby

Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in hell

Fine, white lines of crystal light
Keep us up all day and all night
Ooh, we're just forgotten boys and girls
Who thrive on cosmic toys

Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in hell
Burn in hell
Owwww

(This planet's on fire)
(This planet's on fire)

Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire
Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire, yeah

Yes!

I wasn't lookin' for a big romance
You play at love, you always take a chance
But I never thought I'd be losing ground so fast

Don't know exactly what you did to me
That started all this crazy chemistry
And I've been waitin' around
But the thrill just hasn't passed

And it's racin' like fire (Heartbeat)
I'm so hot with desire (Heartbeat, heartbeat)

But this affair has gotten out of hand
My nerves are wearin' thin, I just can't keep it in

After all the love I gave you
There was never enough

That this man can get tough

Just come on, come on, come on, come on
And (take a)

(Oh, break a)
Break another little piece of my heart and throw it away

. . .


I don't mind
When you act your age
It suits me fine
That you treat me like a child

And I can't deny
When I'm with you
That you step outside
Of all those fears locked up inside

Your love is driving me crazy
Your love just takes me away
Your love is driving me crazy
It takes me all the way

What I like
Is what you've got to offer
Just my type
Don't mind playing on the edge

Your love is driving me crazy
Your love just takes me away
Your love is driving me crazy
It takes me all the way, yeah

Lead me to forbidden doors
You know I'm yours
Yeah, you got it, yeah, I want it
Don't you know it baby?

Right on time
A tight fit right on the money
So sublime
Hot, sweet cherries on the vine

Your love is driving me crazy
Your love just takes me away
Your love is driving me crazy
It takes me all the way, yeah

Your love is driving me crazy
Your love just takes me away
Your love is driving me crazy
Your love just takes me away, oh yeah

Your love, your love
Your love just takes me away, oh yeah
Your love

. . .


You never hear about it
It's not the thing you talk over with friends
You never see it coming until it begins

But something stepped in between us
It's taken all of our time alone
In her heart love remains, but is seldom shown

So why does she cry herself to sleep at night?
Why do I have to work so hard to make things right?
To fall in love came naturally
To make it last is so hard, you see
I'm caught in between the two sides of love

A kiss goodbye, a kiss hello
You wonder why she get's lonely
You've got to show her, don't tell her
She's your one and only, yeah

So why does she cry herself to sleep at night?
Why do I have to work so hard to make things right?
To fall in love came naturally
To make it last is so hard, you see
I'm caught in between the two sides of love

We make promises, promises
And late at night you make big plans
Someday we'll run away and leave the love demands, yeah

So why does she cry herself to sleep at night?
Why do I have to work so hard to make things right?
To fall in love came naturally
To make it last is so hard, you see
I'm caught in between the two sides of love

Two sides of love
Two sides of love
Two sides of love
Two sides of love

. . .



One foot on the brake and one on the gas, hey!
Well, there's too much traffic, I can't pass, no!
So I tried my best illegal move
A big black and white come and crushed my groove again!

CHORUS:
Go on & write me up for 125
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license n' all that jive
I can't drive 55! Oh No! Uh!

So I signed my name on number 24, hey!
Yeah the judge said, "Boy, just one more
I'm gonna throw your ass in the city joint"
Looked me in the eye, said, "You get my point?"
I said "Yeah!, Oh yea!"

CHORUS

I can't drive 55!
Uh!

When I drive that slow, you know it's hard to steer.
And I can't get my car out of second gear.
What used to take two hours now takes all day.
Huh - It took me 16 hours to get to L.A.!

CHORUS

No, no, no, I can't drive...(I can't drive 55!)
I can't drive... (I can't drive 55!)
I can't drive 55!
