1. _ Wind Up
I got home about three a.m.,
Working my fingers to the bone.
My woman's waiting up for me,
Gonna put me through the third degree.
"where you been? who you seen?"
Is all she wants to know.
I can't lie to save my life
'cause i got nothin' to hide.
Let me tell you what's been on my mind.
You been in the city again.
I ain't lyin', baby, i saw you on your high horse,
Walkin' along like you didn't belong
To any self-respecting man.
Is that the way you're gonna repay
All the love that i've given to you?
It's a wind-up, wind-up,
Wind up accusin' me. (repeat)
Wind me up.
Maybe we should start all over again -
That's the best advice.
Meet me halfway, and i'll be there -
I been there so long, and now i'm coming home for rest.
I'm ok, how about you?
Everything i said, baby, was true.
We only got ourselves to blame -
Makin' our bed is just a part of the game.
It's a wind-up, wind-up,
Wind up accusin' me.
Baby, it's a wind-up, wind-up,
Wind-up for you and me. (repeat)
You want me, you want me to be.
You gotta stop what you do.
Wind-up, wind-up,
I don't need no more of your lies.
Wind-up, wind-up.
I gotta stop now.
Wind-up, wind-up.

2. _ My Guitar
When i was just a boy at school
The kids all said that i was cool.
Even said i could go far, just me and my guitar.
I combed my hair in a big el quiff,
Lots of grease to make it stiff,
My pointed toes and my boot-lace tie -
I'm going to catch your eye.
Oh, oh, rock and roll -
I can't stop, it's got a hold.
Hey, hey, what i say?
Ain't nobody gonna take it away.
I met a girl and she could sing -
She could do most anything.
When i took her in my car, she just wanted my guitar.
So i put my foot hard down,
Left her standing in that old town.
Ain't nobody going to come between
Me and my machine.
Woah, oh, rock and roll -
I can't stop, it's got a hold.
Hey, hey, what i say?
Ain't nobody gonna take it away.
Then one day i took a ride
Into the city and the bright lights.
I soon found out that i was on my own,
Just picking at the bone.
Just one thing for me to do -
I had to make it up and anew,
So i picked up my faithful friend
And i played it to the end.
Oh, oh, rock and roll -
I can't stop, it's got a hold.
Hey, hey, what i say?
Ain't nobody gonna take it away.

3. _ Hold On
Checked in tonight, when i noticed the red light.
Picked up the phone and i called the operator -
She said a lady left a name and a number.
Hey, operator, don't you think you could connect me?
I've been waiting for so long for her to call me.
Hold on, i'll try to put you through,
Just hold on, i'll try it again for you,
Hold on, i'm just putting you through.
I turned down the lights,
I sat back and waited for an answer.
Hope everything's all right -
I wonder why she called and what she had to tell me.
Hey, lady, are you sure this number's right?
I tried all day and i tried all night. oh, no.
Hold on, i'm trying to put you through,
Hold on, i'll try it again for you,
Hold on, i'm just putting you through.
Hold on, just hold on,
Hold on, she's putting me through.
Five thousand miles is a long way from home
And i feel so cold being here on my own.
All i need is the sound of your voice
To warm my soul and help me through the night.
Hey, what can i do?
I've tried to reach you, but i can't get through.
I'll just try it one more time -
Won't you please clear the line?
Hey, operator, listen to me please -
I'm begging you on my bended knees.
Hold on, i'm trying to put you through,
Hold on, i'll try it again for you,
Hold on, i'm putting you through. (repeat)
She said,"hold on. i'm getting through to you".
Hold on, i'm getting though to you.
Hold on, long way from home.
Hold on, i'm here on my own.
Hold on, getting through to you.

4. _ Streets Of Shame
I was a long way from home, on the streets of shame,
Where the women in cages play any kind of game.
That's when i saw her, and i looked into her eyes -
I don't speak the language, but i sure see the merchandise.
Oh, what could i say? i was hot for you.
When you walk that way, what's a man supposed to do?
Tell me where i draw the line, let me have it one more time.
She was a sight, she had a ring right through her nose.
A feeling came over me from my head right down to my toes.
Must have been the voodoo, or that trickery,
Like something in a movie by rico fellini.
Oh, what could i say? i was hot for you.
When you walk that way, what's a man supposed to do?
Tell me where i draw the line, let me have it one more time.
Black halter, walk the streets of shame. (repeat four times)
Well, i think she knew by now that i was no saint.
Is this the holy cow, waiting 'till i retain?
Left her angel line-up - i was begging her for more.
Standing on the concrete, i'm going to break down the door.
Oh, what could i do? i was hot for you.
When you walk that way, what's a man supposed to do?
Tell me where i draw the line, let me have it one more time.
Black halter, walk the streets of shame. (repeat and fade)

5. _ No More Lonely Nights
She was a lonely girl without a dream,
Then one day a flash of light, down by that stream,
Far away, on a silver screen, she saw an image of herself
She'd never seen.
No more lonely nights, no more lonely tears. (repeat)
She was a-wiping the tears away, saying farewell.
She made up her mind to leave, find that dream.
Well, i know you're happy, wherever you are.
Each day brings me closer to you, however far.
No more lonely nights, no more lonely tears. (repeat)
No more lonely nights, she crying no more tears.
She's out there. her eyes can see
Into the future and her destiny.
Never look back, no, no, no, no, to the shades of the past.
By the way you look, you know, you know
You want it, you want it to last.
No more lonely nights, no more lonely tears. (repeat)
No more lonely nights, crying no more tears.
She's wiping the tears away, she's saying farewell.

6. _ Genevieve
Genevieve, genevieve.....
I went down to some backroom joint
Where i spent the night before,
Looking for the girl i love -
She left and wrote her name on my door.
She's got a guilty conscience of her own -
I've got to find out why she keeps running on,
Why she keeps running on.
Nobody gonna steal that woman, nobody for sure.
Genevieve, i got to find you, woman, tonight.
Deep in shadows of a neon-lit street
You know she gave me the slip.
I would love her every day,
But she's quicksilver in my grip.
Little darlin', you move too fast -
You're here one minute, and you're gone in a flash,
Gone in a flash.
Nobody gonna steal that woman, nobody for sure.
I got to find you,
Genevieve, i'm gonna find you tonight.
Genevieve, why did you leave?
Genevieve, why did you leave?
Don't you feel guilty, loving two men?
Well, i'm the one to stand by your side.
Oh, baby, yes i love you so,
But do you listen to his lies?
Make up your mind, who's your loving for?
You're in the middle of a battle with the man at war,
Man at war.
Nobody gonna steal that woman, nobody for sure.
Genevieve, i got to find you, woman, tonight.
Genevieve, i'm gonna find you tonight. (repeat)
Genevieve.

7. _ Can't Fight Love
I don't care about no curfew tonight -
I just come of age, my car is stood outside.
Got my wings and i'm looking for a place to roost -
Cruise with the boys, catch anything on the loose.
Going down the road, and my tail lights glow...
I'm going to accelerate in some old fatty bar, yes sir,
If i hit the deck, just pick me up for some more.
Going to look around 'till the first girl smiles at me,
And on the way home i'll check out her i.d.
Going down the road, and my tail lights glow...
I can't fight love,
I can't fight love at first sight.
I can't fight love,
I can't fight love.
I'm going to write my graffiti on the wall -
Paint this town like it's never been done before.
The way i feel, there's nothing i can't do,
So hold on, baby, i'm coming straight on through.
Going down the road, and my tail lights glow...
I can't fight love,
I can't fight love at first sight.
I can't fight love,
I can't fight love.
Running wild with the pack, ace up my sleeve,
Got a taste of your love, and it's blinding me.
Can't see straight, that's for sure.
Me, i'm knocking on your pearly door.
Going down the road, and my tail lights glow...
I can't fight love,
I can't fight love at first sight.
I can't fight love,
I can't fight love.
Don't want to fight your love,
Can't fight love.
Don't want to fight your love,
Can't fight love.
Got to give it to me now.
Can't fight love.
I can't fight your love.

8. _ Engine Overheat
Picked up my baby before the sun set -
She's always ready to step inside.
I can't wait, though, to get started,
And her love is so bona fide.
I'm in the mood for it, i'm in the mood for it,
Your love, your love.
Yeah, my serenity, her intentions -
And we were rolling on down that road.
She was tuned to, to perfection -
I was heading for that overload.
I'm in the mood for it, i'm in the mood for it,
Your love, your love.
It makes my engine overheat,
Puts me back into the seat,
It's just the nature, just the nature,
That makes my engine overheat.
Twin barrels burning, just like a rocket -
She took me faster than i've ever been.
There was nothing i could do, and i didn't ask for something
Like sitting on a guillotine. you know just what i mean.
I'm in the mood for it, right in the mood for it,
Your love, your love, your love, your love.
It makes my engine overheat -
Puts me back into the seat,
It's just the nature, it's just the nature of the beast.
Just the nature, just the nature,
Makes my engine overheat.

9. _ Angels Have Mercy
Look in the mirror, and what do you see?
Reflections of a person that used to be.
You're running 'round town, creating bad debts -
Let's face it, baby, your life is a mess.
You're driving fast now, and speeding again -
That'll never help you ease the pain.
There's nothing in a bottle you can take from the shelf
That'll bring you back to earth, 'cause you need help.
The angels have mercy on you,
But they can't stop you doing what you wanna do.
May the angels have mercy on you -
I'm gonna help you pull through.
Now you're headed down a one-way street -
Let the needle return.
I've been there. who you meet?
Watch out, you're gonna get burned.
You can't blame me for the mess you're in -
All your life you've been fooling yourself.
I'll help you if i can -
You know i'll be there.
Life's too sweet to show this lack of care.
The angels have mercy on you,
But they can't stop you doing what you wanna do.
May the angels have mercy on you -
I'm gonna help you pull through.
Take a look, a look at yourself. (three times)
As the angels have mercy on you!
