1. _ Rattlesnake Shake
Tricky little vicky walks along south street
She learned her french from the boys that she'd meet
I gotta laugh when i hear them say
She's a sweet little cheese when the cat's away
I know what you been trying
What you got ain't worth buying
Can't make living working door to door
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Boom, boom baby out go the lights
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Staying up late doing the rattlesnake shake
Juicy miss lucy always diggin' on junk
She's on the corner talkin' trash with the punks
Her buried treasure is so easy to see
'cause talk is cheap and so is she
You're lost in search of passion
(but) prince charming ain't in fashion
So let it bleed if you wanna stay
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Boom, boom baby out go the lights
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Staying up late doing the rattlesnake shake
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Boom, boom baby out go the lights
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Staying up late doing the rattlesnake shake
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Boom, boom baby out go the lights
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Staying up late doing the rattlesnake shake

2. _ Can't Stand The Heartache
Fall in love with a twisted lady
Suicide with a cover girl
Spent all your time then you got stuck paying the price
Uptown, kick it down, into a spin
Face the wall, take it all, you just can't win
Can't stand the heartache
So bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart
But that's just the way it goes
Can't stand, can't stand the heartache
You got caught in the line of fire
Bystander innocence
You held your own till it wasn't yours anymore
Waste away another day into the night
You're at home by the phone, it don't seem right
Can't stand the heartache
So bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart
But that's just the way it goes
Can't stand, can't stand the heartache
You held me like a prisoner
And i don't know
Why i stayed here from the start
Uptown, run me down under your wheels
I pray, one day, you'll know how it feels
Can't stand the heartache
So bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart
But that's just the way it goes
Can't stand, can't stand the heartache
Can't stand the heartache
So bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart
But that's just the way it goes
Can't stand, can't stand the heartache
Can't stand the heartache
So bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart
But that's just the way it goes
Can't stand, can't stand the heartache

3. _ Makin' A Mess
(bach, bolan, snake)
T-bone billy just a singin' the blues
Caught his lady with another man
Lit up a smoke and did some talkin'
With the back of his hand
She started shakin', started losing her mind
But he was kicking back and playing it cool
Signed her walkin' papers
Took the 5:15 to kalamazoo
Sing for your supper,
Nobody rides for free
Eat your heart out, i'll send it c.o.d.
One, two baby what you do
Three, four let me show you the door
You're better off dead than makin' a mess of me
Five, six take your last licks
Seven, eight let me give it to you straight
You're better off dead than makin a mess of me
Now billy-boy's out havin' a ball playin' fiddle at the local bar
Dark shades, cool kicks, he's hollywood blvd.
Slick daddy and his fat cigar sayin':
"sign upon the dotted line!"
He shook his head and said:
"all i need is that fiddle of mine!"
Sing for your supper,
Nobody rides for free
Take your big time, i'll take care of me
One, two baby what you do
Three, four let me show you the door
You're better off dead than makin' a mess of me
Five, six take your last licks
Seven, eight let me give it to you straight
You're better off dead than makin a mess of me
When trouble came knockin'
Billy kep-a-rockin' like this...
Sing for your supper,
Nobody rides for free
Eat your heart out, i'll send it c.o.d.
One, two baby what you do
Three, four let me show you the door
You're better off dead than makin' a mess of me
Five, six take your last licks
Seven, eight let me give it to you straight
You're better off dead than makin a mess of me
One, two baby what you do
Three, four let me show you the door
You're better off dead than makin' a mess of me
Five, six take your last licks (lick it)
Seven, eight let me give it to you straight
You're better off dead than makin a mess of me

4. _ Sweet Little Sister
She blew my mind behind the wrecking machine
She was a shitload of trouble called the subway queen
Had a hip with bad habits and a shake that was a bit obscene
One night i caught her running out the cellar door
There was about a million people lying flat on the floor
For such a sweet little lady i would swear she's rotten to the core
She got her hands in the cookie jar
Smiling like an alligator
Makin' headlines in the back of her car
Tight-lipped now but sink ships later
I know a thing or two about -- sweet little sister
Her mama kill her if she knew what she do -- sweet little sister
She'll love ya black and blue -- sweet little sister
Mona lisa with a new tattoo
She's my sweet little -- sweet little sister
Every quittin' time is another disease
Too many cowboys ridin' high shootin' low at the knees
The back hand boogie is the price you pay for being the squeeze
The pettin's getting heavy got her tongue in her ear
Her friend is doing time for kickin' ass on a queer
They're in a mental state and all their friends are here
She's tellin' lies through her burgundy lips
Angel on a mission of mercy
She'll get you dancin' with the crack of her whip
Take you up to heaven in her rocket ship
I know a thing or two about -- sweet little sister
Her mama kill her if she knew what she do -- sweet little sister
She'll love ya black and blue -- sweet little sister
Mona lisa with a new tattoo
She's my sweet little -- sweet little sister
She got her hands in the cookie jar smiling like an alligator
Makin' headlines in the back of her car
Tight-lipped now but sink ships later
I know a thing or two about -- sweet little sister
Her mama kill her if she knew what she do -- sweet little sister
She'll love ya black and blue -- sweet little sister
Mona lisa with a new tattoo
She's my sweet little -- sweet little sister

5. _ Here I Am
Six foot one and lonely
Dressed in spaghetti rags
Standing at the bus stop
With her alligator bags
What can u do?
No, no, no, what can i do
I better see a doctor
'cause i think i'm getting hooked on you
I ain't much for talkin'
But all i got to say is
Here i am
Close your eyes and i'll be superman
Here i am
Come and take my lovin' while you can
She broke a million hearts
On 2nd avenue
With her german cigarettes
And designer attitude
What can u do?
No, no, no, what can i do
My love's been goin' blind
Since the first time i laid eyes on you
Ain't much for conversation
But i got to let you know
Here i am
Close your eyes and i'll be superman
Here i am
Come and take my lovin' while you can
You don't need a crystal ball
To see she's got it all
Here i am
Close your eyes and i'll be superman
Here i am
Come and take my lovin' while you can

6. _ I Remember You
(bolan, snake)
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and i'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me i came through
I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that i knew you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - i remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - i remember you
We spend the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said i love you babe, without a sound
I said i'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - i remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - i remember you
We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, i love you
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - i remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - i remember you
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - i remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - i remember you

7. _ Piece Of Me
Sleazin' in the city
Lookin' for a fight
Got my heels and lookin' pretty
On a saturday night, night, night
Good god, bless my soul
I need a fix of rock 'n roll
Come on baby you gotta wait and see
You better hurry
To get a piece of me
Caught a lonely lady
Crying on a cigarette
I got nasty, nasty habits
And that's all she's gonna get
One for the money, two for the show
So 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Take a look at what-a you might need
You better hurry
To get a piece of me
I don't have looks, i don't have money
But i know one thing's for sure
One night ain't enough of my love
She wanted more, more, more
Sleazin' in the city
Lookin' for a fight
Got my heels and lookin' pretty
On a saturday night, night, night
One for the money, two for the show
So 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Take a look at what-a you might need
You better hurry
To get a piece of me
To get a piece of me
To get a piece of me

8. _ Big Guns
She was a ballerina on a subway train
Stiletto heels and a candy cane
Looked like a number on a station wall
Hot on the tail of a social call
I wet my lips i thought i had it made
Like valentino with a hand grenade
I made my move with my libido on
She circled once and then she dropped the bomb
She got the big guns
Pointed at my heart
Bang bang shooting like a firing squad
Big guns
Blew me away
And i went down in flames
I met a sidewalk preacher on a roller skate
He said he had the key to heaven's gate
I said: "i'll wait for the movie 'cause i been there before"
And learned: like is a battle and love is war
She got the big guns
Pointed at my heart
Bang bang shooting like a firing squad
Big guns
Took me by surprise
She got my lovin' reachin' for the sky
She got the big guns
Pointed at my heart
Bang bang shooting like a firing squad
Big guns
Blew me away
And i went down in flames
I'm doing time as a back seat romeo
Play solitaire with my hands in the air
Another night and no bullets to spare
She got the big guns
Pointed at my heart
Bang bang shooting like a firing squad
Big guns
Took me by surprise
She got my lovin' reachin' for the sky
She got the big guns
Pointed at my heart
Bang bang shooting like a firing squad
Big guns
Blew me away
And i went down in flames
Big guns (big guns)
Big guns, blew me away
And i went down in flames
Big guns, big guns
She really, really got the big guns
She shot me down in flames

9. _ 18 And Life
Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone.
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.
Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town.
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.
He had no money, oooh no good at home.
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it's
18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
(repeat above)
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline.
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean.
They say he loved adventure, "ricky's the wild one."
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun.
Bang bang shoot 'em up, the party never ends.
You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend
And now it's
Chorus
"accidents will happen" they all heard ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away.
Chorus

10. _ Midnight/tornado
(fallon, snake)
The night approaches, after dark you have no chance
Ooh, when moonlight takes the sky, you'll feel my dark romance
I'm on your footsteps and i wait behind your back
I spread like fire upon the streets i'm ready to attack
I'm the only thing you need
Upon your love i feed
When the clock strikes midnite
I'm on the prowl of love
When the clock strikes midnite
The time is right to call you out
When i'm feeling wicked and my blood is running hot
Electric is my touch baby you don't know what you've got
Only in the evening at night i come alive
So try to keep your passion deep i need it to survive
I'm the only thing you need
Upon your love i feed
When the clock strikes midnite
I'm on the prowl of love
When the clock strikes midnite
The time is right to call you out
When the clock strikes midnite
When the wicked moon starts to rise
When the clock strikes midnite
I'm alive
When the clock strikes midnite
I'm on the prowl of love
When the clock strikes midnite
The time is right to call you out
When the clock strikes midnite
When the wicked moon starts to rise
When the clock strikes midnite
I'm alive

11. _ Youth Gone Wild
Since i was born they couldn't hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town
Never played by the rules i never really cared
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere
I look and see it's not only me
So many others have stood where i stand
We are the young so raise your hands
They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
Boss screamin' in my ear about who i'm supposed to be
Getcha a 3-piece wall street smile and son you'll look just like me
I said "hey man, there's something that you oughta know.
I tell ya park avenue leads to skid row."
I look and see it's not only me
We're standin' tall ain't never a doubt
We are the young, so shout it out
They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
We are the youth gone wild
