from the album "Technical Ecstasy"
Back Street Kids
I'm just another back street kid
Rock 'n Roll
music is the only thing I really dig
Can't stop the music going round inside
my head
I'm a rock 'n roll soldier, gonna play it until I'm dead
Nobody
I know will ever take my rock 'n roll away from me
Sitting in the back
seat of a shiny limousine
Living in a taxi can't remember where I've been
Playing my music, sitting in my hotel room
Writing about the stars and
thinking about the hand of doom
Nobody I know will ever take my rock 'n roll
away from me
Living life comes easy if you know which way you're going
Got to see yourself in other's eye's, surprised?
Living like I want to
don't come easy, but I'm trying
Sorting out what's true and what are lies,
it's wise
Brought up in a back street living with the salt of the land
Seems that now my music's paying off my tax demands
So listen to the
music, want to see you get so high
'Cause I'm a back street rocker and I
will be till the day I die
Nobody I know will ever take my rock 'n roll away
from me
You won't change me
I'm just a man and I am what I am
Nobody
will ever change my ways
I don't need money and I don't need no lies
I
only need to live for today
But I'd like to talk things over with you
I
want to hear the things you say, today
Although you won't change my anyway,
no no way
I wish you'd come and see me, I'd like to hold you
I want
to set my mind all free
You understand me woman, you give me time
But I
don't need no sympathy
Still I wonder what it's like to be loved
Instead
of hiding in myself
Nobody will change me anyway, no no way
Nobody's
gonna change my world
That's something too unreal
Nobody will change the
way I feel
So listen to me now, hear what I say
Please give me time
and maybe love
If there's a God up there, well I hope he helps me
I need
him now to set me free
'Cause it may be that it's over for me
If you
don't hear the things that I say, today
Nobody will change me anyway, no, no
way
Nobody's gonna change my world
That's something too unreal
Nobody will change the way I feel
Its all Right
Told you once about your friends and neighbours
They were always seeking but they'll never find it
It's alright, yes
it's alright
Where to go and where to see
It's always been this way
and it can never be
It's alright, yes it's alright
Give it all and ask
for no return
And very soon you'll see and you'll begin to learn
That's
it's alright, yes it's alright
Don't you know that it's so good for you
You can be making love and see it all go through
But it's alright, yes
it's alright
So I told you once about your friends and neighbours
They were always seeking but they'll never find it
It's alright, yes
it's alright
Gypsy
Watch the universe at the death of another day
Fatalistic
ships from a distant shore
In the back of my mind I could see she was
standing there
Like the feeling you have
When you've been there before
She was a gypsy woman
She was as cold as the day
She said I'd
got it coming
And then she took me away
She took me through the
shadows of her sunken dream
I thought it's over for me, she wasn't all she
seemed
She took my hand and then she started to speak
She told me she'd
had the call
With eyes of fire that were burning my soul
She looked into
her crystal ball
She read my fortune then she read my mind
She didn't
like my thoughts at all
She showed me shadows, a spectre of life
My soul
just wanted to scream
She stared so deeply into my eyes
That's when I
fell into a dream
When I awoke in bed she lay beside me
And then she
read me with her eyes, she said:
So you wanna be a gypsy, come on now
So
you wanna be a gypsy, come on now
So you wanna be a gypsy, come on now, now,
Now!
Gypsy woman you're the devil in drag
You are the queen of all
hell
You took my body, now you're wasting my soul
You've got me under
your spell
And as the sun shines on another day
You're gonna take my
mind as well, it's over
So you wanna be a gypsy, come on now.
So you
wanna be a gypsy, come on now
So you wanna be a gypsy, come on now
So
you wanna be a gypsy
All moving parts stand still
Super animation, turning on a nation
And they're saying all moving parts stand still
Since he was elected,
adrenaline injected
Hear him saying all moving parts should kill
Just
like the hero he's got them all on the run,
Yes he's won
Since he
passed the motion
They're building in the ocean
And he's saying all men
should all be free
What a combination, peace and radiation
And he's
saying free men should fight for me
Just like his momma, he seems to get his
pleasure from pain
And the rain, ain't that strange? Very strange
I
like choking toys
You've got to see me before you meet the boys
Teacher's burnt the school
He's had enough of sticking to the rules
People stop and see
He's got to be more decadent than me
Just to
pass the time
He gets his kicks from licking off the wine
Pretty
silly ladies
All Cynthia's and Sadie's
Call him and he takes their
numbers down
Says he is a woman
Should have seen it coming
And she
says she's married to a clown
Just like a lady she'll keep you guessing
through the night
Not tonight, well I might, oh alright...!
Rock n' Roll doctor
Well I'm sick and tired of hearing 'bout the
world and it's hang ups
Gonna get myself together,
Take a ride downtown
Gotta see my Rock'N'Roll doctor
Gotta see my Rock'N'Roll doctor
Gotta see my Rock'N'Roll doctor
Gotta see him, see him today.
He's
gonna blow me away
He makes me happy when I'm feeling down
Take away
my worry takes away my frown
Gotta see my Rock'N'Roll doctor *3
Gotta
see him, see him today
He gonna blow me away
If you wanna feel
groovy
Give the doctor a call
Doctor rock will help you anytime at all
Gotta see my Rock'N'Roll doctor *3
Gotta see him, see him today
He
gonna blow me away
Blow me away
She's gone
I've been a long long time, waiting for you
I didn't
want to see you go, oh no, no
And now it's hurting so much, what can I do?
I wanted you to be my wife
The days are passing slowly, since you've
gone
Your memories are all I have, yes I have
I sit here waiting but
you'll never show
Without you I can't carry on, ooh my baby
You said
you'd always love me, all of my life
And then you said your last goodbye,
yes goodbye
Why the sudden change, why all of the lies,
I should have
seen it in your eyes
The endless hours of heartache, waiting for you
My
summer love has turned to rain, oh the pain
The silent emptiness of one
sided love
My life means nothing now you're gone...
Ooh my baby
Dirty women
The neon lights are shining on me again
I walk the
lonely streets in search of a friend
I need a lady to help me to get through
the night, through the night
If I could find her then everything would feel
all right
The sleepy city is dreaming the nigh time away
Out on the
street I watch tomorrow becoming today
I see a man, he's got take away women
for sale
Yes for sale
Guess that's the answer
'Cause take away women
don't fail...
Oh dirty women, they don't mess around
Oh dirty women,
they don't mess around
You've got me coming
You've got me going around,
let's go
Oh dirty women,
They don't mess around
Walking the
streets I wonder will it ever happen
Gotta be good then everything will be
o.k.
if I could score tonight then I will end up happy
A woman for
sale is gonna help me save my day...
