There's trouble coming I feel it deep in my bones I can't avoid it, no way, Gotta face it, not gonna be long It's got me shouting, pointing, panting, begging tonight I need some people To see me through it Loving me right Gonna pull some tarts together Better dress them up in leather Gonna find some kindred spirits Gonna throw the searchlight in it Want some volunteers! You do and you do and you do Get in to trouble And maybe you do and you do and you do Get in to luck 'cos I've been shouting, pointing, panting And when it's done We're gonna walk out smiling, laughing Because we won! Gonna pull... (etc) Watch out, they'll get ya They're hiding under your nose They'll try to dare you, scare you, snare you Stand on your toes 'cos they'll be shouting, pointing, panting And when it's done We're gonna settle down a-loving, and a-howling Because we won Gonna pull... (etc)

Hey there Annie, that means you Why don't you leave that man 'cos he never was true You've got the figure and the face To go any place So drop them dishes And get back in the race I know you can do it You know you can too Look what I got look what's big shots She's a chick that's gonna give you stone in the hots Got a straight for a seven and she's ready to sigh When you see her you'll be itching 'cos she's looking so fine I know she can do it You know she can too Don't let them tell you That all girls are the same That's only part of the game Don't let them tell you That you'll never find fame We know best Hey there Annie our dream's come true Got a million dollar contract And a Cadillac too And we're laying in the shade Of a willow tree Sipping on a glass of vintage '53 I knew we could do it You knew we could too Don't let them tell you That all girls are the same That's only part of the game Don't let them tell you That you'll never find fame We know better Don't let them tell you That all girls are the same That's only part of the game Don't let them tell you That you'll never find fame We know best

There's a rumour going roung this place That you've been hanging around If I find out that it's true I'm telling you Gonna put you in the ground There's a kind of misty morning As I'm looking out 'cross town Thinking 'bout my friends Remembering what they said An' making me feel like a real lowdown Well I saw that smoke stack lightning When you pushed me to the brink You got me worried, you got me mean And when I'm mean I drink And then a lot of wild talk was flying About a tall cat sleeping around Well I dunno who he is but I'm telling you this When I catch up with him I'm gonna mow him down When I get there tonight you better be back home There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm an' when I get there tonight you better be alone There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm 'cos when I get there tonight I'm gonna be insane There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm I've had enough of your lip gonna cause you some pain There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm I'm gonna jump on a train Now you've burned out all my money Just as much as you could take And then your love turned bad and now I'm mad 'cos I made a big mistake But if you think I'm gonna take it Lying down like a dog Well you'd better think again I'll fix you up for good I told you I would And I'm just about to jump on a real fast train When I get there tonight you better be back home There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm When I get there tonight you better be alone There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm 'cos when I get there tonight I'm gonna be insane There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm Feel my temperature rise like a knife in my brain There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm Oh, slow down! Cat's all running for cover 'cos there's no place left to hide I've go a vengeance in my soul And it will not be denied You better get on your knees little girl It's the only thing to do I'm gonna make you sorry you were born You better come right over get my hands on you When I get there tonight you better be back home There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm When I get there tonight you better be alone There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm 'cos when I get there tonight I'm gonna be insane There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm Feel my temperature rise like a knife in my brain There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

There's no such thing as me or you Just the feeling someone had When they saw shadows on the wall There's no such thing as old or new 'Cause everything's been said and done before There's no such thing as Rock and Roll No such thing as growing old When the picture starts to fade You'll hear the clowns and watch them cry The great mistakes they've made When the lights have all gone down (down, down, down) You'll marvel at the speed that things turn round There's no such thing as rock and roll No such thing as growing old Things are way beyond control I've been told Try to cut you down Take your soul away Cut you down Try to break your heart Take your soul away Break your heart If you make it to the end You'll find you didn't try that hard It wasn't such a strain And all those death defying deeds Weren't necessary It's really such a shame 'Cause all I've got is Rock and Roll All I'll get is growing old Things are way beyond control And I've been told Try to cut you down (cut you down) Take your soul away Cut you down Try to break your heart (break your heart) Take your soul away Break your heart Try to cut you down (cut you down) Take your soul away Cut you down

Hold on, you got it wrong, I'm too strong You must be going crazy if you think that you can hold me down Stay down, stop hanging round, lay down You must be going dizzy with them stupid dreams inside your head Hold on, or I'll be gone, you're putting me on You must have something missing if you think that you can tie me up So stay down, get off my ground, hey look what I found Another little honey who can really make my bed Now get this, you got nothing, nothing on me And you've got nothing I crave So keep your distance or I'll move you Like a crashing wave Hold on, you got it wrong, so long There ain't a woman living gonna come before my guitar Just stay down, get out of town, I ain't no clown Go find another sucker who ain't got plans for going too far I told you, you got nothing, nothing on me And you've got nothing I crave So keep your distance or I'll drown you Like a crashing wave

It's seems a long long time since I waved goodbye to you Been working too hard, I'll tell you what I'm planning to do Gonna hang up my boots and pack up my things and then I'll fly across the ocean to see you again Got my dollars saved up, I can count them when I feel low Your picture's on my bed at each motel I go Gonna be with you soon, promise you, but until then Remember I'm marking time to see you again We drunk a lot of wine and we saw a lot of early light And I ain't gonna tell you that a woman never shared my night Yeah we drunk a lot of wine and we saw a lot of early light But through it all still you're the only one in sight We drunk a lot of wine and we saw a lot of early light And I ain't gonna tell you that a woman never shared my night Yeah we drunk a lot of wine and we saw a lot of early light But through it all still you're the only one in sight We drunk a lot of wine and we saw a lot of early light And I ain't gonna tell you that a woman never shared my night Yeah we drunk a lot of wine and we saw a lot of early light But through it all still you're the only one in sight

Last night I woke up on a subway train Travelling round and round all night My head was hurting and my clothes were torn It must have been a hell of a fight And you know it doesn't feel so funny When you're waking up at half past eight And they've taken all your stuff and your money And you wonder was it something you said Yes I know I ain't exactly A clean livin' boy Sometimes it just ain't fair When I get home to you After all I've been through You'll only scream and shout 'cos your money's run out I don't care If you go to work I don't care If you stay at home But if you go downtown That you're pulling around Why don't you leave me alone You said to me that I'm wasting my life I've played it just like your fool You're no give and no talk I guess it won't get too far It ain't done me no harm It don't follow me at all You said to me that I've been wasting your time Your gonna find another man I've had all I can take Won't you give us a break I'm sick and tired of people trying to tell me what I am I don't care If I go to heaven I don't care If I stay in hell 'cos I know that I'm doing What I really wanna do And you know that I'm doing it well Yes I know I didn't love my mamma I got everything wrong at school All the touble I had from my dear old dad Tonight you sit tight I'm gonna give it to you I don't care If you go to work I don't care If you stay at home But if you go downtown That you're pulling around Why don't you leave me alone I don't care I got too short arms I don't care I don't care I got too long hands I don't care I don't care I got too bald head I don't care

When a thing dies Another will rise It's happening all the time Nothing can last It's over too fast It's never the end of the line Just keep moving Don't tell me it's too frightening Keep on moving It's no good standing still There's an earthquake coming Gonna knock you all flat Now what you gonna do about that There's an earthquake coming Gonna turn you all on But what you gonna do when it's gone Don't you give in You're gonna win There ain't no way you can lose Forget the past You got the class You're gonna be the big news Just keep moving Don't tell me it's too frightening Keep on moving It's no good standing still There's an earthquake coming Gonna knock you all flat Now what you gonna do about that There's an earthquake coming Gonna turn you all on But what you gonna do when it's gone (repeat)
