WE WANT LIVE WITH ROCK'N'ROLL

WIND OF DESTRUCTION

YOU CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC

 

 

 

WE WANT LIVE WITH ROCK’N’ROLL

(Geyrey-Calabras)

 

Bad times and bad things everybody listen to the radio

It’s hard to settle look all fall down

We are ready we are strong hey men drow along

To day and to night will be everything all right

“We want live with rock and roll”

When you find you got no mind every day runnin’on the road

Don’t you stop I think that you maybe to go on

We want live, we want love, rock and blues all night long

Every day, every night, gonna make it if you try

We want live with the rock and roll.

 

 

 

I NEVER LOST CONTROL

(Geyrey-Vostok)

 

How many times I ask the thunder

How many times I ask the rain

You make me shiver, I feel so tender

Wake up the time is right

When you are sitting back

In my car so full of you

I can do everything but remember

I never lost control

Just one look you are the thunder

Just one look you are the rain

When you change with every new day

Call on me you can do anything

I thing the time is right for to play

Let the wind run with you

It’s so hard to be so free

I feel so good, I’m so alive

(Game over) I never lost control

I never lost control.

 

 

 

HEAVY METAL

(Geyrey-Albert)

 

I spoke to a man down on the road

I asked him why don’t you know

He said me every night, before I rest my head

Find the ticket win another myself

Everybody go, and everybody now

But there’s nothing that to go

You will see many faces, and see many places

And everybody’s gonna try to tell you how to live

But you don’t give them

You now pretty well you are, heavy metal.

At the end of the road, I go without control

Show me the way, the way from home

Down on me, yes, down on me

Everythings fall down on me.

 

 

 

MAKE ME FEEL BETTER

(Geyrey-Vostok)

 

Time is feeling try and understand

We can take another day

You gotta lose your mind, take my hand

We are the kings of this midnight show.

One more time one more day

We really need to burst

We really need to trust

One more time one more way

Hear your song on the radio

Did you forget how to fight, Rock on!

Get down, it’s you late to be late again

Man wipe the tears away

I’m list’nin’ for your scream, make me feel better

Take your show and put it against the wall.

One more time one more day

We really need to burst

We really need to trust

One more time one more way

Hear your song on the radio

Did your forget how to fight, Rock on!

 

 

 

LOOKING FOR LOVE

(Geyrey-Vostok)

 

I’m the only one, when I feel good

You move on down the line

Always running for the backstreet

Looking for another change

I need a love with thousand faces

I need a woman, always ready for me.

Girl if you want me, to stay for a night

Don’t let me sleep too long

I’m pretty good, at takin’ care of myself

But remember it’s just for one night.

I see you running down the street

See you everytime ready for me.

Girl if you want me, to stay for a night

I just want to be your lover

I’m pretty good, at takin’ care of myself

But remember it’s just for one night.

 

 

 

ON FIRE

(Geyrey-Calabras)

 

When we stay too, much time away

Every day walkin’ on the road

With our crazy world that you can’t throw

Because it’s all over it’s all around

City lights you take all of my mind

Dragging myself in this rock’n’roll dream

I want  to know I want to know

I wanna run I wanna run on fire.

I was looking everywhere for my reflection

Oh if I could sing you my love song

My time is not too long

I would know where I’ve gone wrong

Man you’ve got your kinda of madness

Let me just have my rock and roll dream

I want to know I want to know

I wanna run just I wanna run on fire.

 

 

 

RUNNING ON THE ROAD

(Geyrey-Calabras)

 

People say you’re no good

People say you’re crazy too

Every day I sing this song

Rock that boogie all night long

Music music you’re my world

So I play this same old hard road

I say down down down

You’ve got to go round.

Many times and many places

And my life’s been a race

Got the blues but this city ain’t ready

People don’t love me I’m so lazy

Lovely ladies you’re my world

Play for you that same old, rock’n’roll

And say down down down

You’ve got to go round

Get up Sally and check out Sue

Pretty gal can’t make me blue

Hello boys keep movin’on

Play this boogie woogie all night long.

 

 

 

QUEEN OF THE NIGHT

(Geyrey-Vostok)

 

Yes I know, you got that crazy feeling

Ain’t nobody slowing down no way

And when I saw you, walk right through that door

In your eyes, I have seen the end of the day.

That it’s time, somebody told you

I wanna know all your dreams (Yes I do)

I need your blues we got nothin’ to lose

I believe in the end of this day.

Whatever you give, to the world outside

I wanna give it, right back to you

You’re my dream now come true

I find in you the end of my way.

That it’s time somebody told you

Take all what you can

You were born for to living

You are the queen of the night

I need your blues we got nothin’ to lose

I believe in the end of the day.

 

 

 

GET UP SHAKE UP

(Prantera-Geyrey-Zanolini)

 

I roll down and I fall down

And I get to the ground

But I run around I hear a sound

My rock’n’roll is found.

Get up come on shake up

Show me you feel all right.

Squeeze me come on please me

Show me you rock all night

“I will not let you down

So don’t you let down me

Don’t want you to stay down

So fly away with me”.

 

Rollin’, tumblin’, like a crazy dice

I feel you. I kill you

I’m gonna blow your mind

I never mind what’s on your mind

I’ll drag you down in time.

I don’t care what’s all for

I’ll get you up in time.

“I will not let you down

So don’t you let down me

Don’t want you to stay down

So fly away with me”.

 

I wanna see you, I wanna feel you inside

Girl shake your sweet-ass, it seems that you do it just for me

I wanna get you I wanna love you today.

 

 

 

I GOTTA CLASH WITH YOU

(Prantera-Geyrey-Zanolini)

 

Well people you ought to see her. I got what I need

A dream – to make it real.

“I can’t stand another day, I want you anyway

Oh honey let me in

You shake your hips, like a rattle snake”

You’re making me a fool when you say she’s looking good

“Give me your hand. I wanna make love with you,

I gotta clash with you.”

 

Here in my bed, give me your hand

Till the morning comes

Baby tie your hair back, let free your neck

My need keeps getting’ stronger

Sometimes I get so hot, girl I can’t stop

Just me and you, we cross the sea of night

I run faster, I gotta clash with you, just keep on lovin’me.

  

“You shake your hips, like a rattle snake”

You’re making me a fool when you say she’s looking good

“Give me your hand, I wanna make love with you,

I gotta clash with you.”

 

 

 

DON’T BE LOOKIN’ BACK

(Prantera-Geyrey-Zanolini)

 

I’m lookin’ back. I feel just like you

I am what I sing

Don’t you blame me, don’t you blame me baby

‘Cause I want you so bad

If you are looking for, for another place

I’m the place that you need

If you ask me for, for another race

You should have some speed.

 

Don’t you lie to me. Take it easy baby

I’ll never let you down

Don’t be lookin’ back, we could steal the time

And be groovin’ around

If you’re begging me, to be taken down

Get me while you can

We could really change, gimme just one night

And I’ll change your mind.

 

I’m something diff’rent ain’t like the rest

I needed someone, you needed someone too

Take my hand and keep on lovin’ me.

 

 

 

A RACE WITH THE  DEVIL

(Prantera-Geyrey-Zanolini)

 

I know and live in a rocker’s band

On the “down” side of the town

Nobody cares about the future, nobody knows a fear.

This is a feeling and a dress

Burning their dreams day by day

Everyone pays the price, the price for “to live”

Every day is a race, every day is a trace of the devil.

 

We carry on with a bad reputation

We’re damned to live on the run

We just go on our wheels of fire, riding in the sun.

The people just don’t realize

We’re angry just because of them

They gonna pay the price. Nobody knows the “when”.

Every day is a race with the devil.

 

Running on the highway

Long and dark, shiny and black your motorcycle speeds

Flying on the highway

Knocking down the time just like a thunder in the sky.

 

 

 

RUNNING WILD

(Prantera-Geyrey-Zanolini)

 

I’m ready, ready for a new day

Now I don’t need no reason for to run away

Really I can’t stand another new face

Now I opened my eyes to look around

Tonight I hope it’s gonna be-allright

I see you walkin’ down the street

Tonight in “Jungleland” the street is on fire

Is on fire (but) I was born loose.

 

I’m living, can’t change me now

Take me like you find me, I’m fool for you

Take me before it’s too late

I was born loose for running wild

Tonight I hope it’s gonna be-allright

You really got the best of me

Take me but with you life moves so fast

I was born loose. Loose running wild

I see you walkin’ down the street

Take me as “Jungleland” is on fire.

  

I see you walkin’ down the street

Tonight I hope it’s gonna be-allright

Be alright. I was born loose.

Loose running wild.

 

 

 

FIRE TRAILS (for Bon Scott)

(Prantera-Geyrey-Zanolini)

 

Really found. Since when I was born:

Now you got your ticket. The ticket for runnin’ fast

Take everything. All you’ve got to do is run

Everyone needs a reason

For running down Fire Trails.

 

Now I find I’ve opened up the doors

I’m out on the streets. Out for living more

I never got worried because every day I live strong

Every night with your song

Let there be Rock once more.

 

 

 

OUTSIDE OF SOCIETY

(Prantera-Geyrey-Zanolini)

 

Anyway, everyway I choose, anyway I win or loose

Oh babe stay with me

Many bloodies and many wars, how many prisons closed the doors

Oh babe don’t you know?

“I got a feeling inside, that takes all my mind

I know nobody’s gonna change.

I got a feeling inside, that takes all my mind

But everything’s still the same”.

 

Now my head can’t rest no more ‘cause no one has control

But babe don’t you see?

Many people want make money. Many people want get power

Oh babe let me take you down.

“I got the rock inside, that takes all my mind

I know myself. I wanna change

I got the rock inside, that takes all my mind

And everything’s just a game”.

 

Well now I’ve already seen

The roads are full of blood

Old society. Society you get me down

Babe you’ve got many things to remember

Come on before it’s too late

You may never get, get another change.

 

 

 

RUSSIAN ROULETTE   (Instrumental)

(Prantera-Geyrey)

 

 

 

STREETS OF DANGER

(Scotto-Tessarin)

 

I’m changing, memories come to my mind all at once

I’m running, looking at what we’ve done.

I’m looking all around, to see all the barriers we’re found.

We’ve got crazy bosses, prophets heroes, like disco machine.

Strangers, we’ve been on the streets of danger

Crazy sound, that has always come from underground.

We’ve been struggling all the time, for a speedy music to call mine

Good rockin’ feeling that easy can change your mind

Yes I look around, at the block I found

We’ve got merchants and gamblers, bankers and ramblers

In this market of the dreams.

Strangers, we’ve been on the streets of danger

Crazy sound, that always come from underground.

We’ve gotta keep on this feeling, don’t loose it at all

Let’s carry on our way don’t let shut the doors

Baby now don’t be selling your guitar

Even if you think you won’t ever be going far

Fake it take it, make it rock’n’roll

She is gonna free your soul, you gonna have it, rock’n’roll

Save your soul, rock’n’roll, free your soul

Strangers we’ve been on the streets of danger

For crazy sound, that has always come from underground.

 

 

 

I’M LEAVING AT LAST

(Scotto-Tessarin)

 

I can feel the heat is closing in

Makin’ their moves comin’ down on me

Can’t you see I’m fading fast

But I’m leaving at last

Hot dreams I’m going free

What are you doing up town

Wild dreams speed king

My car is coming around

 

Come on get ready

We should be leaving now

You will get crazy

If you won’t join me now.

 

In a roadhouse we are touching down

Dreamy eyed baby, take a look around

Another drink, another place

And then back to the race.

 

Sun is going down, here comes the night

Hot dreams I’m going free

What are you doing up town

Wild dreams speed king, my mind is floating

 

Come on get ready

We should be leaving now

You will get crazy

If you won’t join me now.

 

 

 

WAR TRAINS

(Scotto-Tessarin)

 

Well the rails are in your eyes

You gotta move there is no surprise

Told you that it was fun, war trains are on the run.

Well your head is asking why?

You are looking for reply

Don’t you let you go blind, you cannot die

You know I hate this feeling now, no chance

I can only show you my love, now.

After war romance, I guess

You’re standing here in brand new dress

Like one of the heroes, but you just don’t give a dam’n

We are not the lords of war

Pull the guns open the doors

Push the buttons watch it, the bullets fly.

You know I hate this feeling now, no chance

You know my heart is bleeding now, no chance

Nearly just can’t help but cry.

We are not the lords of war

Pull the guns open the doors

Push the buttons watch it, the bullets fly.

Why can’t we leave it up to them, war trains

Why can’t we fuck them baby, war trains

Why can’t we just get back and try.

 

 

 

TOO YOUNG TO DIE

(Scotto-Tessarin)

 

He was one that in his life had nothing at all

But one day he’s running, down the wall

Suddenly a race and then a deadly sound

And something is breaking his life around

Hey you follow me, a dream just come along

You sure get this song, may you follow me.

No chance for changing his life around

Been a long time you did not get far

You just went on until you have found

If you don’t risk, you won’t be a star

Hey you follow me, too young for “to die”

But you, follow me, to young for “to live”

You, phoney society, you know your pockets they are full of blood

Now, you blew his mind you dragged him down you burned him out

Power permits, power forgives

Too young to die.

 

 

 

PRETTY HEARTBREAKER

(Scotto-Tessarin)

 

You have been quick girl

Into ranging me like them.

When you’re walking, like a tiger hunting on the run.

You thought you got me, just in one go

Thought it was easy, you don’t know

That’s not my show, but I don’t care.

You missed it all got a fever of rock’n’roll

Now wanna break, gonna burn gotta shake.

They been talkin’ bout you like a rollin queen

When you’re walking, everybody is crowding at your feet

You tried to get me, break my heart

I just don’t want, if you start

Another time, maybe I try.

You missed it all got a fever of rock’n’roll

Now wanna break, gonna burn, gotta shake.

You only grabbed and you took what you want

Girl don’t forget, I’ m sick for rock I’ll blow your head. (rock on)

 

 

 

THE HUNTER   (Instrumental)

(Tessarin)

 

 

 

DON’T LET YOUR MASTER DOWN

(Scotto-Tessarin)

 

Listen to the story on the radio

‘Bout what got me trought the night

Running on the edge of madness

Can’t you hear the madman cry?

No one can blow me out, I’m a shadow

My blood could over spill, a shadow who lives.

Like an alley cat who is stalking

And his glance it makes her weak

You can see the victim shudder

You can hear her frozen shriek.

No one can blow me out, I’m a shadow

I will just suck you out, a shadow who lives.

Don’t let your master down, don’t you hide and don’t you run

Don’t let your master down, he is burning like a sun

Don’t let your master down!

He is the master of the darkness

He is a nightmare and a dream

Can’t you see that it’s all over?

Still you hear her sigh and scream!

Don’t let your master down, don’t you run don’t you hide

Don’t let your master down, let him take you for a ride.

Don’t let your master down.

 

 

 

GAME OVER

(Scotto-Tessarin)

 

Every time when you come through the night

Baby you leave me hot

I still feel your fog and speed

Well I know there’s not much in the sight

Baby keep what you got, always tryin’ to feel alive.

We love all the things, to be running now

We want everything to be running, baby make me hot.

We don’t want to wait, take it all, take it now.

Every day when I run tryin’ to find

My kicks quick and hot, I have stolen all my life.

When my head’s full of snow I say go

Don’t make me stop, I’m only tryin’ to feel all right

I’d like everything to be speeding now

I just want my blood to be running, baby suck me up!

So don’t make me wait, take it all take it now.

Times might be changing

We keep on screaming, right on down the line.

Till the game over

Let’s play it over I have no more time.

Times might be changing, we keep on screaming

Ride on down the line.

 

 

 

YOU CAN’T STOP THE MUSIC

(Scotto-Tessarin)

 

One million for our soul,

I don’t care how you launch yourself,

It’s a long come away

So one who goes and carries on and I’ve been losin’ spinny roads

I was kept to place

 

Follow around a lot of time as many people feel so fine

I smell the price to pay

You try to kill, it’s not a fear,

Cause at times you wanna play your game,

You’ll never take it down

We wanna find something right we got people for the fight,

So we got what is right, so I know can’t stop, can’t stop the music.

You don’t stop the music.

Bring’em down

Let’em know

 

We wanna find something right,

We need people for the fight,

‘Til we know what is right, let’em know

Follow a line a lot of time as many people feel so fine,

I smell the price to pay

You try to kill, it’s not a fear,

Cause at times you wanna play your game,

You’ll never take it down

We wanna find something right, we got people for the fight,

So we got what is right,

Let’em know

Cant stop, can’t stop the music

you don’t stop the music

Lay it down, let’em know

You don’t stop the music

Bring’em down

Let’em know.

 

 

 

RUN TOO FAST

(Scotto-Tessarin-Prantera)

 

You’ve made up your mind

Guys like me you find

Run too fast

You can’t catch the wind

 

The way I look so wild

Restless like a child

Gives me such hard times

Don’t understand

 

You can’t let yourself be tied down

Take what you’ve found

 

There’s no-one like me

That can make you free

Know you need

What you’re lookin’ for

 

Sometimes I’m so cruel

Sometimes I’m not true

But I’m there

Whenever you want

 

Don’t wait for the morning to come

Take what you’ve found

 

You - tonight - take what I’m givin’ you

Now - let’s do it - we’re in the right kind of

Mood - tonight - we gotta live now - right now

 

Don’t wait for the morning to come

Take what you’ve found

 

Everybody knows it’s true

The kind a things I do

No complaints

‘Cause I’m no fool

 

If this ain’t allowed

You can join the crowd

You’re too slow

You can’t catch the wind.

 

 

 

STILL GOT TIME

(Scotto-Tessarin-Prantera)

 

Last night - I made a break in my life

It just won’t be the same

Left my friends - as cutting as a sharp knife

Had enough of this game

Never again

 

Don’t know if it’s right

Just gotta try

Take a walk in the night

Can’t live a lie

 

Spent my life waiting

Chance never came

Now I don’t give a damn

 

I’m gonna play my cards right

I’ve still got the time

It took so long to find out

What I should do

 

In my car - speeding down the highway

With a rock’n’roll station

Feeling so low

 

Spent all my life

Living with fear

But I ain’t going back

 

I’m gonna play my cards right

Still in time

 

I can give

The time I have a better sense of action

I can live

Without the fear of gettin’ no reaction

I’m gonna start

Tryin’ to learn to walk like all the heroes

I can

 

I’m gonna play my cards right

I’ve still got the time

It took so long to find out

What I should do

 

All at once - I’m feelin’ cold and stranded

I’m just lyin’ on my bed

With dreams in my head

I can’t believe it

It’s just a lie

Just a broken-up dream

But I won’t be discouraged

Today’s the day.

 

 

 

BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE

(Scotto-Tessarin-Prantera)

 

Wild beasts are on the prowl

Look out man they’re after you

They’re out to kill your pride

They’re gonna lock you in a cage

Don’t change yourself no way

Don’t sell yourself too short

Keep them all runnin’ around

That’s all you got they’ll never know

Been pushed around all the time

Since the day that you were born

They start off with your body

And move on to your mind

Dress you up all the same

Little soldiers in a line, ready to go

You should decide now you wanna live

Before you find that it’s no go

You don’t have to take what they can give

Don’t be afraid to let it show

You get ready, you run into changes

You get ready, gonna see some changes.

 

 

 

EASY WAY TO LOVE

(Scotto-Tessarin-Prantera)

 

Times I was a lonely man

And so sure that I was through

Livin’ life a wasted hero

No more hopes or dreams to renew

 

It’s something special to me

To know that I could be free

 

When I was lonely it seemed so easy, livin’ my way

But now you’ve show me an easy way to love

 

You taught me how to live again

You let me in to all of your dreams

I want you in my silent world

Don’t make a noise, you might break the spell

 

Take me the way that I am

Don’t try to change me no more

 

Now when I’m lonely, it seems so easy changin’ my ways

Now I’m learnin’ an easy way to live

 

I can break down the walls start all over again

Then maybe, remember, what I really need

I needed someone to start all over again

Y’came along and now I won’t let you leave

 

It’s up to you there is no time to lose

Don’t worry together we’ll make it right

 

We can break down the walls start all over again

We’ll find an easy way to love.

 

 

 

I WAS BORN TO ROCK

(Scotto-Tessarin-Prantera)

 

It’s getting’ late, I can’t wait no more

But wherever I go you know

They wanna treat me the same

You know that my fate is to keep movin’ on

It’s what I choose there ain’t  no way

To make me change in my mind

 

What d’you want - I want to live my own life

What d’you need - I need a girl to be mine

What d’you feel - I want to keep on searchin’

May be hard but I don’t care, just all beware

I was born to rock

 

People say, they don’t understand

So we’ve had too much of this

Music’s as we planned

To hell with this game, just give us a break

We’re fighting alone the battle’s tough

But we’re gonna make it

 

What d’you want - I want to live my own life

What d’you need - I need a girl to be mine

What d’you feel - I want to keep on searchin’

It may be hard but I don’t care I just wanna shout

I was born to rock.

 

 

 

NEVER BEFORE   (by Deep Purple)

(Blackmore-Paice-Lord-Glover-Gillan)

 

Somebody, somebody, come to my side

I’m tired, I’m cryin’ I’m sick inside

My woman, that woman, just wasn’t right

Help me now, please my friend, I never felt so bad

Before, never, never before

 

So funny, so funny, just like a show

One name, two people all in a row

Somebody, somebody, someone must go

Help me now, please my friend, I never felt so bad

Before, never, never before

 

I was hurt when I was young

By a woman in the sky

She took my name, she took my pride

Then she threw away my soul

 

Can’t hide, can’t hide, my misery

I know, my sorrow, won’t set me free

She did it, d’you see, she did it to me

Help me now, please my friend, I never felt so bad

Before, never, never before.

 

 

 

RIDGE FARM   (Instrumental)

(Tessarin-Prantera)

 

 

 

ARMS IN THE AIR

(Scotto-Tessarin-Prantera)

 

One more highway, one more hard day

Another lucky way

Makes you feel like you’re alive

 

Things I used to say, things I use to think

For a long long time, each time like another truth

 

Come on get it together now, let’s stay all night long

Come on we’re together now, nothing can go wrong

 

Find a new town, another show down

Gonna be alright

Nothing’s gonna get you down

 

If you’re feelin’ hot, maybe feelin’ cold

Makes no difference, cause we just wanna turn you on

 

Come on get it together now, let’s stay all night long

Come on we’re together now, nothing can go wrong

 

We got all the energy, to get off the ground

Gonna give you that feeling now, gonna give you that sound

Those arms in the air, makes you feel good

 

Don’t lose it - It’s so hard to find

You can use it - it makes you feel high

Don’t abuse it - like makin’ love

Let the music - take over your mind

 

We got full control, get inside your soul

One more old song that makes you wanna sing along

Girl you wanna stay we got things to say

Make you get it on to the music we can play.

 

 

 

BACKBONE OF SOCIETY

(Prantera-Scotto-Tessarin)

 

They’re a special breed

Got just what they need

Makin others bleed

They are the backbone of society

They all wanna buy

Their own piece of sky

Makin others sigh

Does it make’em feel so might

They’re gonna come down to earth pretty fast

When they find out they have been cheated

They sold their souls to the devil himself

For just a handful of big worries

There’ll come a day when

They’ll realize

Their dirty world is an illusion

They watch their big hopes

Come crashing down

And throw their lives into confusion

Always seeking power

Getting lazy

In their ivory tower

Going crazy.

 

 

 

DOWN’N’OUT   (Broken Inside) 

(Prantera-Scotto-Tessarin)

 

Sometimes you wake up in the morning light

Broken inside

You’ve lost all the starch you need to fight

You wanna hide

Get away form the things that make you sick

Sick and tired

It’s like when the ground beneath your feet

Start to slide

When we started out we had a whole lotta giving to do

We were so sure that nothing could bring us round

As time goes by all those castles in the air

Come tumbling down

Think of all the people buying dreams

Custom made

Never knowing they’re just the victims of

The tricks of the trade

Never own a big house or

A fancy car

I won’t sell my soul to be on top

A rock‘n’roll star

Get up it’s time y’knew the way things really stand

I want you to see where they bury all your dreams

The ones that made us feel that hopes and reality

Go hand in hand

Down and out so rotten inside out

Filthy business you’re just like a bitch

Y’don’t care you don’t give a damn

You just walk over anyone who ever dares to get in your way.

 

 

 

GIMME SO MUCH

(Prantera-Scotto-Tessarin)

 

There were the good times

There were the bad times

When I was living a normal life

It did’nt last long

But it was so wrong

I should have know that right from the start

Not so long

Started to yearn for

Kind of life I lived before

I never felt right

When I was shut tight

Just like a wild beast locked in a cage

I found out all the answers

As the long dark nite turned into day

Believe me when I say

Sometimes I feel I just want to be alone

The way I want to be

Is running with my baby next to me

Looking for good times

Looking for bad times

When I can make you really join in

You keep on  saying you love me

You carry on but you don’t understand

You gimme so much

You gimme so much of your love.

 

 

 

CORRUPTED INNOCENCE

(Prantera-Scotto-Tessarin)

 

I used to play a dangerous game, making the right

Kind of choice, well I found what there was to lose

This is a world of good and bad, you’re walking

On the edge of a knife have it all

The one way to choose

It’s hard to stand by watching someone you care

For, whose life wastes away

He used to have so much to say and to give

And to live for

He used to tell me all the troubles that made him

Stop feeling so low, he loved the blues

He carried inside him

So many time in many ways

He kept on deceiving himself

He always felt that this was the last one

His body was found at the edge of the road

His fighting was over, the friend,  he believed in,

Laid down by his side cold and bleeding

He run, way down the road to destruction straight to hell

So fast, he couldn’t get no reaction straight to hell.

 

 

 

WINDS OF DESTRUCTION

(Prantera-Scotto-Tessarin)

 

Stormy winds blasting at my door

I can’t breathe I feel like screaming

Shouting thunder till you can take no more

I’ve seen rage crushed in the mud

Crying out for all men’s freedom

People bent down on their knees spitting blood

Spitting blood

Got no breath left to tell no lies

Their minds all dried up can speak no words

Trough out all the stormy rain

Many doors slamming in my face

We’ll always find a way to ease the pain

We could die but then rise again

And be worse off than before

But it don’t mean that they’d ever break the chain

Break the chain

Too much violence in everyone

They’ve got our minds and souls on the run

They’ve got a grip on us to hate and be afraid

To stop us fighting for the price that we have paid

Fear is a blinding danger

Hate is an evil stranger

Fear is the height of sadness

Hate is total madness.

 

 

 

TALK OF THE TOWN

(Prantera-Scotto-Tessarin)

 

You were just walking by

Amazing look upon your face

It seemed you’d like to try

To take some chances in this place

You know it’s no surprise

Come on in try it out for size

Be brave and leave your troubles all behind

Inside there’s all the fun that you can find

Like me you can go right out your mind

You won’t ever feel down in the “Talk of the town”

This place is wrong for you

If all you want is to relax

Just let the speed get through

This is the life no turning back

Let the music take it’s toll

Rock’n’roll is gonna buy your soul

Be brave this is a place to pay your dues

Feels good let your inhibition loose

Like me don’t you gimme no excuse

Let your hair hang down in the “Talk of the town” 

You had to stop and stare

Maybe she could be the kind

To stay with you tonite

You know she won’t put up a fight.

 

 

 

IMAGES

(Prantera-Scotto-Tessarin)

 

It’s really sad to find yourself

End of the day

Running for so long alone - I’m going home

I’ve always said that I could make

The music that I like

Our lives are just like images

On the silver screen

Black and white reminders of past that must be seen

You were always close behind me

Standing in the wings

Knowing just where I am bound

Living music just like love

Inspiring what I sing

Music - deep inside you

Giving me all I need to go on

Despite this all I still believe

I’m really going home

Nothing can surprise me now

Maybe just myself

Knowing just where I am bound

Living music just like love

Inspiring what I sing

Music - deep inside you

Giving me all I need to go on

Worries - heavy burdens

I can always relief on your love.

 

 

 

DANGEROUS GAME

(Prantera-Scotto-Tessarin)

 

She, she looked so good

Just like a dream all dressed in red

Sleek as tiger, the look in her eyes

Telling me just what to do

Playing a game, leading me on too far

Ever so cool, keeping me on the line

Making me feel so fine losing my mind

So fine, I can’t resist this time

So fine, she’s got me now this time

You got me now

She found out real soon

Games never pay with guys like me

Cause I’m a survivor, tell you no lies

I get the choice out of this

You work it out, I’ll be a match for you

Ever so cool, keeping you on the line

Making you feel so fine losing your mind

So fine, you can’t resist this time

So fine, I’ve got you now this time

I’ve got you now.

 

 

 

OVER THE LIMIT

(Prantera-Scotto-Tessarin)

 

I belong to the nite time

Darkness comes like an invitation

I live when the sun goes down

Start the action

My dreams are the real thing

I go where there’s more confusion

I look for a love that gives no illusion

I know you’ll take this the wrong way

You see I got my good reasons

They’re always increasing

Over the limit

I wanna live it’s no far to go

Over the limit

I gotta live one more strip to go over the limit

Had a friend I relied on

Life was giving him deep frustration

Only tough men cry in desperation

Speed and drink get together

Then the low starts to take you over

Can’t you see we’re fooling around - move on over

I’m just biding my own time

My life is out of control

I’m gonna be riding.

 

 

 

ITALIAN GIRL

(Tessarin-Prantera-Scotto)

 

A good looking girl just like all of the rest

Checking her make - up again and again

Spends all her time in pursuit of a quest

Like in the movies she’s seen

 

She’s playing - romantic games

She’s falling - in love again

She’s dreaming - of riding in Cadillacs

She’s only - an Italian girl

 

Leaving behind inhibitions and fears

Now is the time to be proud and free

Knows how to separate the men from the boys

That’s how it’s going to be

 

She’s dreaming - of riding in Cadillacs

She’s falling - in love again

She’s playing - romantic games

She’s only - an Italian girl

 

Like the way she looks

So desirable

She’s got what it takes

She knows it

Like the way she talks

So delectable

She’s got what it takes

I know.

 

 

 

NATURAL BORN LONER

(Tessarin-Prantera-Scotto)

 

Every road that I travel

All by myself

Stops me taking my place in your heart

Don’t have schemes to unravel

Where you’re concerned

You knew me so well from the start

With or without me girl

Where would you be

You’re just a natural born

Loner like me

Wanna live my existence

In my own time

Wanna stand up on my own two feet

Don’t put up no resistance

To my desires

You know we where destined to meet

Leave my illusions free

Just for a while

One day I know I’ll walk

My last mile

Running after

Easy chances

Leaves you wond’ring what you left behind

Running faster

Down the right road

Makes you wonder what else you can find.

 

 

 

TAKE MY BLUES AWAY

(Tessarin-Prantera-Scotto)

 

You made me aware of harmony

You walked right into my life so easy/easily

You gave me your love and set me free

It was your only desire to please me

But I took your loving and broke your heart

My way of living tore you apart

Life was just a road that led to hell

No easier way to bring me despair

You knew all the answers oh so well

Standing by me though I didn’t care

 

But I took your loving and broke your heart in two

My way of living tore you apart

Your dedication gonna make me wanna stay with you

I wanna stay, I’m losing, losing my evil ways

You’re taking, taking my blues away

Believe me it’s what I’m waiting for (looking for)

Take a look in my eyes

I really wanna stay

My heart is telling no lies

I know it every time

I take a look in your eyes.

 

 

 

SEVENTH HEAVEN (Ruggero’s Theme)

BAD ATTITUDE

(Tessarin-Prantera-Scotto)

 

When I saw you late last night

Didn’t know what’s wrong or right

‘Cause I got this feeling in my bones

 

 It’s the way you move your hips

And the way you lick your lips

Couldn’t wait to get you alone

 

Gonna try in every way to take a ride with you

I promise you It’s gonna last the whole night through

It’s gonna take your breath away

 

I’m gonna get right next to you

Wanna lay my hands on you

Gonna touch you everywhere I please

 

You bring out the beast in me

Won’t you take the rest of me

Don’t make me get down on my knees

 

And in the morning when I wake up by your side

I’ll talk of love to you and feel so warm inside

You really take my breath away

 

You know - baby

I’m not an angel in disguise

I know - let’s go

Try me out you’ll wanna stay

Don’t say - maybe

Can’t you see the longing in my eyes.

 

 

 

ONE WAY RIDE

(Tessarin-Prantera-Scotto)

 

Lies, are written on every face

S’what makes the world go around

Y’know, it’s just like a cold embrace

Trading in lies sets the pace

No use in looking for a reason

In the end living breaks you down one more time

Laying low

Behind the scenes

Life is always making evil schemes

Take a chance

One way ride

You don’t have nobody on your side

Life, can light up the deepest darkness

Can soften the hate in our souls/hearts

Fly, away on the wings of silence

Just leaving memories behind

Nothing else lasts for such a long time

Relying only on those lies one more time.

 

 

 

KILL THE KILLER

(Tessarin-Prantera-Scotto)

 

You’re the man with the killing machine

Keep on tracking those victims down

She’s the girl with her head full of dreams

Strutting around down town

He’s the one who’s been dealing the trade

He’s a happy man

Got nothing to lose

It’s not against the law

 

It’s the fear that you see in those eyes

Makes the hunter feel so strong

No place to run you’re taken by surprise

Freedom don’t last long

No one knows why you’re losing your life

He’s only half a man

But feels so good

When he can shoot you down

 

We go - hunting without a cause

Need to - stop all these killing games

We go - shooting without remorse

Need to - kill the killer

 

We go - hunting without a cause

Need to - stop all these killing games

We go - shooting without remorse

Need to - kill the killers one by one and stop them.

 

 

 

STEP AHEAD OF TIME

(Tessarin-Prantera-Scotto)

 

Wings upon my heels

Never touch the ground

(I) know how it feels

Always looking round

(A) step ahead of time

(My) fear close behind

Scared of losing

Nothing lingers

Moments slipping right through my fingers

I’ve seen too much

But don’t say I won’t see no more

My anger is such

It’s burning me to the core

There won’t be no pain

Where there’s no deceit

Hate’s the real shame

The trials of defeat

Can be found within

Where our hopes begin.

 

 

 

TO BE A NUMBER ONE

(Tessarin-Prantera-Scotto)

 

Take good care of those smiling faces

They can take your best away

 

All dressed up like a fake prima donna

You gotta be looking your best

Never doing what you really wanna

‘Cause you’re scared just like the rest

It’s a social condition

Standing up to the test

You can’t lose your position - Oh no

Take a look at yourself

You’re wasting away - Oh no

 

Run away like Cinderella at midnight

Or they’ll see you dressed in rags

Never show that you really don’t feel right

Drink the cup down to the dregs

It’s your biggest ambition

To be a number one star

Ain’t no competition - Oh no

It’s all decided before

You ever get there - Oh yeah.

 

 

 

WARRIORS

(Tessarin-Prantera-Scotto)

 

Up in arms we’ll start to fight

We’re the ones to blame

Standing strong with all our might

We know the rules of the game

 

All the words and promises

Will disappear in time

Don’t you hear the man that says

We’re all partners in crime

 

Let’s walk down the road to changes

We’ll never see

Don’t talk about all the heroes

We’ll never be

 

We’re living a lonely war

That’s never been fought before

Keep your fears out of sight

It’s no easy but

Don’t give up the fight

Tonight we’ll be warriors tonight

And drive our illusions to flight

Tonight - we can work it out.

 

 

 

NEL CUORE DEL CAOS

(Scotto-Zoia-Tessarin-Prantera-Tacco)

 

Su noi vecchi bambini, su noi  nuovi

Clochards notti di rabbia, notti di crack

E ombre nei sobborghi, mercanti di niente

Chissà che roba è? La chiamano boccone

Da re ma sa di amaro poi, poveri noi

Persi nel cuore del caos, soli noi

Dietro il mondo soli noi

Persi nel cuore del caos, soli noi

Controvento soli noi

 

Su noi buoni e cretini in fogne di città

Notti di nebbia, notti di gas

E mani troppo lunghe non lasciano niente

Buio negli occhi poi bruciati da una vita

Di smog e un po di luce mai, da soli noi

Noi qui nel cuore del caos, soli noi

Fuori campo stanchi noi

Persi nel cuore del caos, soli noi

Fino in fondo stanchi noi

In mezzo al cuore del caos, soli noi

Dietro il mondo stanchi noi

In fondo al culo del caos…

 

 

 

NERO SOGNO GRUNGE

(Scotto-Zoia-Tessarin-Prantera)

 

Brutto sogno di un mattino di città

A partita persa ormai, c’è uno spirito maligno

Che mi fa: quanto tempo ancora vuoi?

Un casino, tutto quello che si può

Che non basta mai, no, non basta mai

Per capire che cosa sei

 

Sempre dietro a qualche sogno che non c’è

O ad un flash di libertà, ma le storie che hai

Portato via con te chi più le racconterà?

 

Quanti amici se ne sono andati già

In un lampo di follia, ma qualcuno

Ci sarebbe ancora qua a ribattere poesia

Se a un bambino dentro agli occhi fino al blu

Là ci avesse poi, oh ci avesse poi

Annegati di colpo i guai

 

Meglio un angelo diabolico quaggiù

Anche se assomiglia a lei, che un fucile

Dritto in gola se mai più da quel buco tornerai

Che casino! Solo un nero sogno grunge

Quel che resta a noi

E al nirvana, sai, forse non ci si arriva mai.

 

 

 

COME IL PIOMBO  (Game Over)

(Scotto-Zoia-Tessarin-Prantera)

 

C’è un cane, c’è un cane dentro te

C’è un nodo che viene su

C’è un orco, c’è un orco in fondo a te

C’è un Dio poi, un Dio che va a fare show in TV

E’ il tempo, è questo il tempo, sai

Che tutto è addosso a noi

C’è il vuoto e fa freddo,  non c’è più scampo ormai

La fronte madida e senti la febbre che ti va su

La mente fradicia, ti mordi le labbra

E non c’è niente più, niente più

 

C’è un mostro, c’è un mostro là con te

C’è un rospo che non va giù

C’è un cancro che cresce in fianco a te

Sei stanco, non ne puoi più, quando poi

Non ce la fai tu a battere sempre in controcanto

Cazzo, ti tiri su, non ce n’è! Un Dio non basta più

Ci vuole qualcosa che fa centro

Qualcosa di più hard, cosa c’è? E’ come il piombo

 

Sei morto, sei morto e non lo sai

Game over, all’inferno, ma quando poi

Non vuoi starci tu a correre ancora controvento

Cazzo, ti tiri su, non ce n’è! Non basta più

Un buon blues, ci vuole una bomba che fa centro

Qualcosa più del blues cosa c’è?

Non ce n’è! C'è solo il piombo!

 

 

 

STIVALI CON LE ALI

(Scotto-Zoia-Tessarin-Prantera)

 

Mi fanno da biberon, da plaid di Linus

I miei stivali da cowboy

Così non li mollo mai, sono il mio bonus

E via col funky, via col rock’n’roll

Qua belli freschi, stivali con le ali

Piste di whisky e scie di neve blu

Sogni di gatto, stivali artificiali

In fondo al letto e sesso che va su!

 

Oh cazzo, mi sento un Dio e giro intorno

Coi miei stivali da bad boy

Così non li tolgo mai, estate e inverno

E via col fuckin’ dentro il rock’n’roll

Qua mai tranquilli, stivali con le ali

Sballando folli, andando sempre su!

Dolce puttana, stivali virtuali

Portafortuna nel rhythm & blu

Nel rhythm & blues

Oh sento un formicolio e prendo il volo

Coi miei stivali da cowboy

E adesso li tiro anch’io i calci in culo

Coi miei stivali, col mio rock’n’roll.

 

 

 

IL MONDO DI LU’

(Scotto-Zoia-Tessarin-Prantera)

 

Videogames di sottofondo tra birra e fumo

Luci al neon e notti in bianco nei buchi

Della città, il mondo di Lù è sulla strada

Vecchi bar e sbattimento, Lù perso ormai

Brutta età e là allo sbando tra i calci

Della realtà

Il mondo di Lù là sulla strada oooh oooh

 

Quasi mai Lù ci andava a scuola

Come suo padre perduto tra i docks

E vanno i giorni a Coca Cola

In lerci “bassi” o in sporchi metrò

Il sogno di Lù la sulla strada oooh oooh

Alto là!

 

L’hanno preso al cuore a 16 anni bruciati

Così e via in un flashback va la sua vita

In un momento, è come un film

E dopo un flash, break! E’ già finita

Si rompe il sogno e niente va più

E contro un guardarail la faccia vuota

Là sulla strada il corpo di Lù

Il sogno di Lù…

 

 

 

SONO SOTTO SHOCK

(Scotto-Zoia-Tessarin-Prantera)

 

La notte è calda, ragazzina, la festa è in pieno trip

Restiamo qua a tirar mattina tra boogie, tecno e rap

Troppo giusta, proprio okay, carica di sprint, oh

Tutta sexy come sei con quegli strappi ai jeans

Ehi baby, vedo un pò di slip, oh baby

Mi fai andare in tilt

 

Se ci sbattessero uno slow non so che ti farei

Ma la console dice di no, che stronzo di un deejay!

Così bella non si può non toccarti mai, hey baby,

Sono sotto shock, oh baby, mi fai andare al top

Ehi baby, Quanto figa sei? Oh baby, oh si, una cifra sai

 

Oh, che sbandata, signorina, tu sciogli anche un igloo

Sei poco più di una bambina ma non ti lascio più

Oh baby, stendimi, se puoi e prendimi se vuoi.

 

 

 

PIAZZA SAN ROCK

(Scotto-Zoia-Tessarin-Prantera)

 

Senti! E’ una Fender stratocaster

Che grida nella notte dal banco di un pub

Senti come grida fino a qua

Portandoti quel blues di tanto tempo fà

E’ come un giro di armonica on the road

Nato nei vicoli a New York

Arrivato qua con un ferry boat

Riff di libertà che andava dentro

ai primi juke-box

 

E c’era un grande soul in quel blues

C’era un grande soul

Prendi la tua Honner, vecchia amica

Di storie nella notte in piazza San Rock

Credi! Questa è l’arte, o forse no?

E’ quell’antico blues che torna ancora un po’

E’ come un sogno che pulsa in fondo a noi

Che va su forte più che mai

Che poi va nei pubs, che poi va nei lofts

Che poi va nei nights, che va persino

In qualche bistrot

 

C’è sempre un grande soul in quel blues

E c’era un grande soul oh Dio del blues!

C’è sempre un grande soul-blues on

E il Naviglio ti sembra il Missisipi

Oh Dio del blues!

 

 

 

VODKA E LUNA

(Scotto-Zoia-Tessarin-Prantera)

 

Troverai le giravolte con Margot

Là, nell’alto dei cieli

Correrai in volo libero

Tutto è sempre ai tuoi piedi

Spunterai da dietro l’ombra di Giselle

Con quel passo che hai, Rudi

Proverai un nuovo bolero

Danzerai tu, grande Romeo

Solitario, disperato corsaro

Magico lupo delle nevi

Stella che alle stelle sorridi

Vodka e luna dalle notti all’Harris Bar

 

Tornerai per quattro salti a L’Opera

Là, dall’alto dei cieli

Cercherai ancora musica

Per lasciarla a chi credi

Perché poi se non c’è più amore…

Che cos’hai là, dentro al tuo cuore?

Rudi, ballerai con furore

Ultimo Cristo in mezzo ai rovi

Stella che nel buio sorridi

Non c’è più luna nelle notti

All’Harris Bar…

 

 

 

ANCORA "ON THE ROAD"

(Scotto-Zoia-Tessarin-Prantera)

 

E’ la vita mia che va là dietro un sogno

Qua sopra un palco e via che poi c’è già

Un altro show, quando chiude poi dove sei?

E’ la voce mia che sta qui dentro il pugno

E ogni volta cercherà mille occhi

Ma i tuoi non li trovo mai, tu dove sei?

E’ la vita mia, è tutto quel che ho

Sempre avanti e via oh ohhhh…

 

Autostrade e canterò per ogni notte

Incasinato qua on the road, c’è un’altra

Città che mi inghiotte già, tu dove sei?

E’ la storia mia, tutto quel che ho

Sempre in pista e via oh ohhhh…

Questa vita mia dura ma ci sto

L’unica poesia che so

 

Quante mani ho stretto ormai ma tu dove sei?

Quando viene poi la malia nella vita mia.

 

 

 

SUMMER OF ‘69

(Adams-Vallance)

 

I got my first real six-string

Bought it at the five-and-dime

Played it til my fingers bled

It was the summer of ‘69

Me and some guys from school

Had a band and we tried real hard

Jimmy quit and Jody got married

I should a known we’d never get far

Oh when I look back now

That summer seemed to last forever

And if I had the choice

Ya-I’d always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

Ain’t no use in complainin’

When you got a job to do

Spent my evenin’s down at the drive-in

And that’s when I meet you

Standin’ on your mama’s porch

You told me that you’d wait forever

Oh and when you held my hand

I knew it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of ‘69

 

Man we were killin’ time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothin’ can last forever-forever, no

 

And now the times are changin’

Look at everything that’s come and gone

Sometimes when I play that old six-string

I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin’ on your mama’s porch

You told me it would last forever

On the way you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of ’69.
