1. _ Burning Down
If it takes them so long, so long to say yes, why don't they just say no
We don't need anyone to be put to the test, why don't they let us be
Chorus:
Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be free
We needed a plan, we needed defences, they couldn't raise a smile
As the world looked down, they raided our senses, there can be no reconcile
(chorus)
Burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down
There was a time in our life was taken for granted, it'll never come again
Our flower is dead, the seed is unplanted, they put it all to the flame
Burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down
Burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down
(chorus)
Burnin' down, burnin' down
Burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down...

2. _ Execution Day
I stare in the mirror, my eyes refuse to blink
Sympathy for me, hell i can't even think
Send for the iceman, my temperature is startin' to rise
I've heard it before 'n i know the truth from the lies
Chorus:
Is it any wonder heaven's racked with thunder
And all of my dreams go under like the fallin' rain
Execution day, execution day (execution day, execution day) - execution day
Execution day
Voices like locusts keep smothering me
Twisting and turning my senses like a cyclone at sea
Don't touch me now, won't let you crucify me
You ain't no damn jury, you can't pass no sentence on me
(chorus)
Whose blood on whose hands, where's the promises they preached for this land
Standin' there with bibles clutched in their hand
Whose blood on whose hands, whose blood on whose hands
(whose blood, whose hands)
Execution day, execution day
Father my hands are shakin', i see the light, it's breakin'
Show me the way to set my soul free, i hope it rains on me
Let it rain on me
Execution day, execution day

3. _ A Man And A Woman
And the band began to play, without a song they'd lose their way
A song of love and custom dreams, a song of yesterday
When they danced, when they danced, her skirts were lifted high
She felt the music in his arms, the danger in his eyes
And a woman said no, and a man said "but i love you so"
And a woman moved closer, and a man said "take my love into your heart
I must have you here by my side"
It happened all too fast, they came to love and they came to last
No-one remembers now who lied, true love is made of glass
And a woman said "change", and a man said "as soon as i can"
And a woman said "open up", and a man said
"your way's right, you're my love, i won't be holdin' you down"
In the evening of their lives, no regrets and clear blue skies
They meet again in old new york, he tells her one sweet lie
And they danced and they danced, and a man said "i love you so"
And a woman moved closer, and a man said "take my love into your heart
I must have you here by my side"

4. _ Getting Away With Murder
She thought she had the only key
She thought you only opened up to her, well you see
I don't know why you call it love
She thought she was the brightest light
But someone else was lighting up your life, what i think
I don't know why you call it love
I'm not suspicious, no not me, but i'm not blind
And i'd have to be not to see
Chorus:
Gettin' away with murder, you can love a girl and hurt her
That's gettin' away with, gettin' away with murder
You can tell a girl you love her, while you're working on another
That's gettin' away with, gettin' away with murder
You have had to love and run
Two in the hand has left you holding none, and i don't
I don't know how you call it love, no, no
You're not demanding, no not you, you're understanding
You do what you wanna do
(chorus)
You said she was the only one, but you were cheating all along
There ought to be a law for what you've done
I got to save you from yourself, i got to stop you from hurtin' someone else
(chorus repeats out)

5. _ Special Girl
Into each life a little sunlight wants to shine
Let me tell you fortune life that once was mine
Chorus:
She was a special girl and she meant the world to me and i gave her everything
When i found her, i'd been looking everywhere
And when i lost her, i was lost beyond despair
(chorus)
Dreams are hard to touch, could it be i love her too much
(chorus)
Bottom line is she was fine in every way
And it's not with hesitation that i say
(chorus)
Dreams they come and go, but thoughts, like love, will always grow

6. _ Rock 'n' Roll Hero
I sold my soul to rock 'n' roll, when it didn't cost a thing
Stacks of scratched up 45's and taught myself how to sing
What does it take to be a rock 'n' roll hero, just like the king
Livin' your life in a blaze of glory, burnin' it up in a smoke filled club
Givin' your soul to the world
Chorus:
Like a rock 'n' roll hero, a soldier of fortune in the night
Like a rock 'n' roll hero, when the white hot lights cut thru the night
And the sound of the thunder starts roaring
That's when you know what you're savin' it for
And you're feeling like a rock 'n' roll hero
I owe it all to rock 'n' roll, and i wouldn't want to change a thing
Got this old guitar strapped round my neck, and my baby waitin' in the wings
What does it take to be a rock 'n' roll hero, just like the king
Livin' your life in a blaze of glory, a spark in your eyes
A flame in your soul, givin' it all to the world
(chorus)
Yes you're feeling like, oh you're feeling like
(chorus)
(like a rock 'n' roll hero, like a rock 'n' roll hero)

7. _ Standing On The Outside
I ain't livin' here no more, i ain't even keepin' score
It's too late to change, it's over, i'm drownin' in a sea of tears
Nothin' i can say to you makes any difference
There ain't nothin' i can do, none of it's makin' sense
Chorus:
Standing on the outside - i'm lookin' in at you - standing on the outside
Standing on the outside - i'm running out of time - standing on the outside
I'm so tired of bein' alone in a world that feels so cold
There's got to be a light that i can find
There's got to be a soul somewhere that shines for me
Now i don't want to live without love anymore, i just wanna live my life
Love's gonna open up the door, show me it's light again
(chorus)
Nothin' i can say to you makes any difference
There ain't nothin' i can do, none of it's makin' sense
Standing on the outside - i'm lookin' in at you - standing on the outside
Standing on the outside - what can i do - standing on the outside
Standing on the outside - i'm lookin' in at you
Standing on the outside - yes i'm lookin' in at you
Standing on the outside - i'm lookin' in at you... (to fade)

8. _ Masculine
Phonecall:
(this is one of the neighbors from down the street.
This record of this music has been goin' on all afternoon
And i'm sick and tired of it. if it doesn't stop i'm calling the police!)
You got me on the run, you got it your way
Now i'm feeling pretty good and i'm beginning to sweat
Your love is so fine, it's got me feelin' alright
Going out of my mind, i got to have you tonight
The girl's so deep inside, like blood in my veins
Never lets me hide, now i'm going insane
It makes me climb the walls, bite my nails to the bone
It's always by my side, it never leaves me alone
Chorus:
When it's time to get tough, i'm masculine (masculine, masculine)
When she wants to play rough, i'm masculine (masculine, masculine)
Masculine
I know that i'm a man from the spark in my soul
It can make me so hot, you got out of control
Grab her by the hair, drag her back to your cave
It's what makes a man a man, people always stay the same
(chorus)
I'm masculine
(masculine, masculine)
(repeats)
Anytime, anyplace, anyway, in the heat of the nite and in the dark of the day
Anytime, anyplace, anyway
When it's time to get tough, i'm masculine (masculine, masculine)
When she wants to make love, i'm masculine - what d'you say?
When she wants to make love, i'm masculine
When she wants to play rough, i'm masculine (masculine, masculine)
When she wants to make love, i'm masculine (masculine, masculine)
If you push me i'll shove, i'm masculine
When she wants to play rough, i'm masculine
When she wants to make love, i'm masculine...

9. _ Rock 'n' Roll Mercenaries
(talking, talking - wealth, talking - money, talking - power
Talking - horses, talking - fun, talking - self, talking - power
Talking - diamonds, talking - ego, talking - man, talking - wealth)
(and talking - power) (repeats)
Money is power, power is fame
Chorus:
Talking about rock 'n' roll mercenaries
Soldiers of fortune by some other name
I'm talking about rock 'n' roll mercenaries
Money is power, 'n' power is fame
Everything you pay to hear - just listen
Everything to catch your ear - just listen
Whatever it takes, they're ready to sell
Anything and everything they do it themselves
(chorus)
Young are the victims so easily [swayed/slain]
[as some given are poisoned, all continuous placed]
Our conscience is a load, so heavy to carry, for a rock 'n' roll mercenary
(chorus)
It starts with a game, see how they play
Till all of the laughter is faded away
It's not for the song, it's not for the love
It's just for the gold and there's never enough - never enough
(chorus)
It's not for the song, it's not for the love
It's just for the gold, there's never enough
(chorus)
(rock 'n' roll mercenaries)
(talking, talking) (repeats out)
Rock 'n' roll mercenaries - ooh, talkin' about
Rock 'n' roll mercenaries... (to fade)

10. _ Blind Before I Stop
I'll go blind before i stop
Chorus:
And i'll go blind before i stop, they're gonna have to come in and lock me up
And i'll go blind before i stop, 'cause this boy mama just wanna rock
There's a two ton fireball burnin' through the headphones
Cuttin' up my heart, makin' ashes of my soul
A lightning bolt petition, tonight i'm gonna sign
Trouble out my window and i'm gonna find it
And i'm feelin' the fever, takin' in the heat
Bouncin' to the boogie, hittin' with the beat
Wrapped in rhythm, dancin' till we drop
(chorus)
Moonlite madness masquerade, i got my invitation, baby, time to play
Rip off the headphones, shove my arm into the socket
Sound comes rushing thru me like an intravenous rocket
And i'm feelin' the fever, takin' in the heat
Bouncin' to the boogie, hittin' with the beat
Wrapped in rhythm, dancin' till we drop
(chorus)
Doin' it in the market, doin' it in the mall
Doin' it in the bushes and the high school hall
Doin' it in the alley, doin' it for free
Now they're doin' it baby on mtv
Doin' it in the backseat, doin' it on the beach
Doin' it in the grandstand, just dancin' on the seats
Doin' it in the movies, doin' it on the train
Doin' it mile high in a big jet plane
And i'm feelin' the fever, takin' in the heat
Bouncin' to the boogie, hittin' with the beat
Wrapped in rhythm, dancin' till we drop
And i'll go blind before i stop, they're gonna have to come in and lock me up
(chorus)

11. _ One More Kiss (night Of The Soft Parade)
(part one)
At sunset you hear the soft parade is coming
And the cars and the beast behind, they all start humming
And ooh you got a cool machine, so let's get it runnin'
We'll break the silence of the night and you know they're gonna hear us comin'
We always see them whisper, we know they're gonna talk
They fantasize the mysteries 'bout the night and the dark
So baby one more kiss, baby one more kiss, we never have to say goodbye
Oh one more kiss, baby one more kiss, it brings a little luck to the night
Artists got their easels, they're ready on the mark
Gonna try and take the pictures of the dust and the gold in the sparks
And ooh you got a cool machine, baby let's get it runnin'
You never looked so good before and you know your time it's finally comin'
'cause our home is the wind, you know we're gods of the mornin'
Champions of the night, when the engines are rumblin'
Our home is the wind, you know we're gods of the mornin'
Champions of the night, when the engines are rumblin'
So just one more kiss, baby one more kiss, we never have to say goodbye
One more kiss, baby one more kiss, i never wanna see you cry
One more kiss, baby one more kiss, it brings a little luck to the night
One more kiss, baby one more kiss, we never have to say goodbye
(part two)
(ready, ready to roll, ready, ready to roll, ready, ready to roll, ready)
Under my foot gonna hit it down, take this stance before the crowd
Sleepin' city urban fall, summer's sadness time to answer the call
(cool machine, get it runnin', ready to roll)
Soft hands around my neck, one more kiss then it's time to connect
Leave this child, leave me all alone, this one's mine and i'm takin' it home
(ready, ready, ready to roll)
This one's mine and i'm takin' it home
(part three)
Now behind closed walls new histories start to rise
Of the soft parade and the heroes where they lie
And ooh you got a cool machine, baby let's get it runnin'
You never looked so good before and you know your time it's finally comin'
'cause our home is the wind, you know we're gods of the mornin'
Champions of the night, when the engines are rumblin'
Our home is the wind, you know we're gods of the mornin'
Champions of the night, when the engines are rumblin'
(one more kiss, one more kiss, one more kiss, one more kiss)
(one more kiss, one more kiss)
It brings a little luck, brings a little luck to the night
(one more kiss, one more kiss)
Ooh one more kiss
One more kiss, baby one more kiss, we never have to say goodbye
And ooh you got a cool machine, baby let's get it runnin'
