Rebel Yell

Last night a little dancer
Came dancing to my door
Last night my little angel
Came pumping on the floor
She said "Come on baby
I got a licence for love
And if it expires pray
Help from above"

Chorus:
In the midnight hour she cried-
"more, more, more,"
With a rebel yell she cried-
"more, more, more."
In the midnight hour babe-
"more, more, more,"
With a rebel yell-
"more, more, more,"

"more, more, more."

She don't like slavery,
She won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely
She sees me to bed
What set you free and
Brought you to me babe
What set you free I
Need you here by me
Because

(chorus)

He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Well he's out all night to collect a fare
Just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair

I walked the ward with you, babe
A thousand miles with you
I dried your tears of pain, babe
A million times for you

I'd sell my soul for you, babe
For money to burn for you
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Justa, justa, justa, justa to have you here by me
Because

(chorus)
"More, more, more."

Oh yeah little baby
She want more
More, more, more, more more

Oh yeah little angel
She want more
More, more, more, more


Hot in the City

Stranger, Stranger,
Stranger, Stranger.

It's hot here at night
Lonely black and quiet
On a hot summer night
Don't be afraid
Of the world we've made
On a hot summer night
'Cause when a long legged lovely walks by
Yeah you can see the look in her eye
Then you know that it's

Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, (tonight)
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, (tonight)

Stranger, Stranger,

For all the dreams and schemes
People are as they seem
On a hot summer night
Don't be no fun
Don't forget you're young
On a hot summer night
A sometime some-one you're not
Don't wait to see what you've got
'Cause you know that you're

Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, (tonight) alright
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, (tonight)

Well I'll walk until my feet drop
I'm a train when I'm hateful.
Yeah lay right down now
And ride until your head breaks
I'm a walkin' 'til my brain pops.
I will move with the beat now.
I'm a chain 'round an A-bomb
I'm a ribbon in the heat now.
New York!

Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, (tonight)
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, (tonight)


White Wedding

Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
Hey little sister who's your superman
Hey little sister who's the one you want
Hey little sister shot gun!

It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again

Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
I've been away for so long (so long)
I've been away for so long (so long)
I let you go for so long

It's a nice day to start again (come on)
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again

(Pick it up)
Take me back home
There is nothin' fair in this world
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there is nothin' sure in this world
And there is nothin' pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again
Come on

It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again


Eyes Without a Face

I'm all out of hope
One more bad break
could bring a fall

When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me your alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For lovin' what was you.

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh,
the gigolo pool.
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip.
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.

Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realise

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
Such a human waste your eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse.


Catch My Fall

I have the time so I will sing yeah
I'm just a boy but I will win yeah
Lost song of lovers fellow travelers yeah
Leave me sad and hollow out of words.

It could happen to you so think for yourself

If I should stumble
Catch my fall yeah
If I should stumble
Catch my fall
Catch my fall
If I should stumble
Catch my fall
If I should stumble.

I've traveled and unwound my own truth yeah
I've laid my head on the rock of youth yeah
I've trusted and then broken my own word.
Just to keep me free in this mad, mad world.

It could happen to you so think for yourself

If I should stumble
Catch my fall yeah
If I should stumble
Catch my fall
Catch my fall

It could happen to you so think for yourself

If I should stumble won't you catch my fall yeah
If I should stumble catch my fall yeah
If I should stumble would you catch my fall
If I should stumble catch my fall.

Dancing With Myself

On the floors of Tokyo
A-down in London town's a go go
A-with the record selection,
And the mirror's reflection,
I'm a dancin' with myself

A-when there's no one else in sight,
A-in crowded lonely night
Well, I wait so long for my love vibration
And I'm dancing with myself

Oh oh. Dancing with a-myself,
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
Well, there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove, well,
Dancing a-with myself, oh, oh, oh, oh.

If I looked all over the world
And there's ev'ry type of girl
But your empty eyes seem to pass me by
And leave me dancin' with myself.

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance I'd ask one to dance
And I'll be dancin' with myself

Oh oh. Dancing a-with myself,
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
Well, there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove, well,
Dancing a-with myself,

Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh...

Well if I looked all over the world
And there's ev'ry type of girl
But your empty eyes seem to pass me by
And leave me dancin' with myself.

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance I'd ask one to dance
And I'll be dancin' with myself

Oh oh. Dancing a-with myself,
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
If I had the chance I'd ask one to dance
If I had the chance I'd ask one to dance
If I had the chance I'd ask one to dance
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh.
Oh, oh, oh Dancin' with myself.
Oh, oh, dancin' with myself, oh, oh,
Sweat, sweat, Sweat...
