Paradise City
Just a' urchin livin' under the street

I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line
Ragz to richez or so they say
Ya gotta-keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
It's all a gamble
When it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doin' their time
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh won't you please take me home, yeah

Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester
with a broken heart
He said-
Turn me around and
take me back to the start

"Are you blind?"

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home

Sister Christian/ Just Like Paradise / Nothin’ but a good time
Sister christian, oh the time has come
And you know that you're the only one to say, ok
Where you goin', what you looking for
You know those boys don't want to play no more with you
It's true
It's true
It's true
It's true
Yeah!
You're motoring
What's your price for flight?
In finding Mr. right?
You'll be all right tonight
This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't wanna go home!
This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't wanna go home!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Girl, you've been meant for this,
Since you were born! (Since she was born!)
No problems now (The coast is clear)
It's just the calm before the storm!
This must be just like livin in paradise (Paradise!)
And I don't wanna go home!
Ow!
Not a dime, I can't pay my rent,
I can barely make it through the week.
Saturday night I'd like to meet my girl,
But right now I can't make ends meet.
I'm always workin' slavin' every day
Gotta get a break from that same ol' same ol'
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think, this is what I'd say:
Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time,
And it don't get better than this!
They say I spend my money on women and wine,
But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
I'm really sorry about the shape I'm in
I just like my fun every now and then
I'm always workin' slavin' every day
Gotta get away from that same ol' same ol'
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say:
Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time,
And it don't get better than this!
You see I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breakin' our backs every day
If wantin' the good life is such a crime
Lord, then put me away
Here's to ya!
(Ow!)
(Oh yeah!)
Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time,
And it don't get better than this!
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
(This must be just like livin' in paradise!)
How can I resist?
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
(And I don't wanna go home!)
And it don't get better than this!
Juke Box Hero / I Love Rock’n’Roll
Bought a beat up six string, in a secondhand store
Didn't know how to play it, but I knew for sure
That one guitar, felt good in my hands, didn't take long, to understand
Just one guitar, slung way down low
Was a one way ticket, only one way to go
So I started rockin', ain't never gonna stop, no
Gotta keep on rockin', someday gonna make it to the top
Singing, I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought I passed my own shadow, by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
And that one guitar, made my whole life change
And we'll be moving on and singing that same old song, yeah with me
Singin'
And be a juke box hero, so put another dime in the jukebox baby
I'm the juke box hero, so come and take your time and dance with me
Just that one guitar, jukebox hero, got stars in my eyes
Juke box hero, ahhhh
Juke box hero, stars, stars, I love rock and roll
Juke box hero, stars, stars, so come and take your time and dance with me
Stars in your eyes
I love rock and roll

Waiting For A Girl Like You
So long, I've been looking too hard,
I've been waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find,
I only know it's a matter of time
When you love someone
When you love someone
It feels so right, so warm and true
I need to know if you feel it too
Maybe I'm wrong
Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time I wanna be sure
I've been waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you
A love that will survive
I've been waiting
Someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
Won't you come into my life
There's nowhere on earth that I'd rather be
Than holding you tenderly
I've been waiting for a girl (boy) like you
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a gir (boy) like you
A love that will survive
I've been waiting
Someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl (boy) like you
To come into my life
More Than Words/ Heaven
Saying 'I Love you'
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you not to say
But if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words
Is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me, 'cause I'd already know
How I love the way you move
And the sparkle in your eyes
There's a color deep inside them
Like a blue suburban sky
I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as i'm the hero of this little girl
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday
No matter what your friends say
I know we gonna find a way
More than words
Is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say
Heaven isn't too far away
Heaven isn't too far away, more than words
Yeah, heaven isn't too far away
More than words...
Cause i'd already know
Saying 'I Love you'
Wanted Dead Or Alive
It's all the same only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I drive all night just to get back home
I'm a cowboy on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes is not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink
Sometimes when you are alone all you do is think
I'm a cowboy, cowboy on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted, wanted dead or alive
Wanted, wanted dead or alive and I ride
I'm a cowboy, cowboy on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted, wanted dead or alive
And I walk these streets a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, everywhere still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces and I've rock them all
'Cause I'm a cowboy, cowboy on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted, wanted dead or alive
But I'm a cowboy, cowboy I got the night on my side
I'm wanted, wanted dead or alive and I ride, and I ride dead or alive
I still ride dead or alive
Dead or alive, dead or alive
Dead or alive, dead or alive
I Want To Know What Love Is
I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Ooooh woah-ah-aah
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

A little time to look around me,

Harden My Heart
Cryin' on the corner, waitin' in the rain
I swear I'll never, ever wait again
You gave me your word
but words for you are lies
Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go
But it's time to let you know
oh
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here
All of my life I've been waitin' in the rain
I've been waiting for a feeling
that never, ever came
It feels so close, but always disappears
Oooooh
Darlin', in your wildest dreams, you never had a clue
But it's time you got the news
I'm gonna harden my heart (Harden your heart)
I'm gonna swallow my tears (Swallow your tears girl)
I'm gonna turn and leave you here (Turn and leave you here)
Shadows Of The Night/ Harden My Heart
You say, oh girl, it's a cold world
When you keep it all to yourself
I said you can't hide on the inside
All the pain you've ever felt
You better ransom your heart, but baby don't look back
‘cause we got nobody else
We're runnin’ with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn...and...leave you here
Never in my wildest dreams
I never thought i'd go
But it's time to let you know....
We're runnin’ with the shadows of the night (I’m gonna harden my
heart)
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right (I’m gonna swallow my tears_
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end (I’m gonna turn…and…leave you here!)
Here I Go Again
No, I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
Here I go again
Here I go again
Tho' I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again,
(oooh here I go)
Here I go again,
(here I go)
Here I go again,
(here I go here I go)
Here I go
(Here I go)
Can’t Fight This Feeling
I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship
Has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
Any Way You Want It

Every Rose Has Its Thorn
We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it something I said or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say
Every rose has it's thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has it's thorn
Yeah it does
Even though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains
oh yes it does
I know I could have saved a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways
But now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
Oh every rose
Every rose has it's thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has it's thorn
Oh yeah
Every rose has it's thorn
Rock You Like A Hurricane
It's early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin
The bitch is hungry
She needs to tell
So give her inches
And feed her well
More days to come
New places to go
I've got to leave
It's time for a show
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
My body is burning
It starts to shout
Desire is coming
It breaks out loud
Lust is in cages
Till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it
With someone I choose
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs the show
He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
(are you ready, ready, ready? )
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
(cmon, cmon baby! )
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Rock you like a hurricane!
It's early morning
The sun comes out

We Built This City / We’re Not Gonna Take It
We built this city,
we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Someone always playing corporation games
Who cares they're always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible write us off the page
We're Not Gonna Take It (No)
no, We Ain't Gonna Take It
oh We're Not Gonna Take It Anymore
Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball in to our rock guitars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're the ship of fools
Looking for America, crawling through your schools
We're Not Gonna Take It
(We built this city)
no, We Ain't Gonna Take It
(We built this city)

Don’t Stop Believing
Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night.
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night.
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights people
Don't Stop
