ELECTRIC EYE-JUDAS PRIEST More relevant today than it was in 1982!

Up here in space

I’m looking down on you

My laser’s trace

Everything you do

You think you’ve private lives, think nothing of the kind

There is no true escape, I’m watching all the time

I’m made of metal

My circuits gleam

I am perpetual

I keep the country clean

I’m elected electric spy

I’m protected electric eye

Always in focus

You can’t feel my stare

I zoom into you

But you don’t know I’m there

I take a pride in probing all your secret moves

My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove

I’m made of metal

My circuits gleam

I am perpetual

I keep the country clean

I’m elected electric spy

I’m protected electric eye

Electric eye

In the sky

Feel my stare

Always there

There’s nothing you can do about it

Develop and expose

I feed upon your every thought

And so my power grows

I’m made of metal

My circuits gleam

I am perpetual

I keep the country clean

I’m elected electric spy

I’m protected electric eye

I’m elected electric spy

I’m elected

Protective

Detective

Electric eye

The Show Must Go On-Queen

Empty spaces, what are we living for?

Abandoned places, I guess we know the score

On and on

Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero, another mindless crime

Behind the curtain, in the pantomime

Hold the line

Does anybody want to take it anymore?

The show must go on

The show must go on, yeah

Inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking, but my smile

Still stays on

Whatever happens, I’ll leave it all to chance

Another heartache, another failed romance

On and on

Does anybody know what we are living for?

I guess I’m learning (I’m learning), I must be warmer now

I’ll soon be turning (turning, turning, turning) 'round the corner now

Outside the dawn is breaking

But inside in the dark, I’m aching to be free

The show must go on

The show must go on, yeah-yeah

Ooh, inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking, but my smile

Still stays on

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies

Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die

I can fly, my friends

The show must go on, yeah

The show must go on

I’ll face it with a grin, I’m never giving in

On with the show

I’ll top the bill, I’ll overkill

I have to find the will to carry on

(On with the show, on with the show)

The show must go on

Nobody gonna take my car
I’m gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It’s gonna break the speed of sound

Ooh, it’s a killing machine
It’s got everything
Like a driving power
Big fat tires and everything

I love it and I need it, I bleed it
Yeah, it’s a wild hurricane
Alright, hold tight
I’m a highway star

Nobody gonna take my girl
I’m gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl
She stays close on every bend

Ooh, she’s a killing machine
She got everything
Like a moving mouth
Body control and everything

I love her, I need her, I seed her
Yeah, she turns me on
Alright, hold on tight
I’m a highway star

Nobody gonna take my head
I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head
Now that I’m on the road again

Ooh, I’m in Heaven again
I got everything
Like a moving ground
An open road and everything

I love it and I need it, I seed it
Eight cylinders all mine
Alright, hold on tight
I’m a highway star

Nobody gonna take my car
I’m gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It’s gonna break the speed of sound

Ooh, it’s a killing machine
It’s got everything
Like a driving power
Big fat tires and everything

I love it and I need it, I bleed it
Yeah, it’s a wild hurricane

I’m a highway star

30 Years To Life - Slash feat. Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators

So the story goes
This is a tale that must be told
For what could be your destiny
You never know

I never meant to be here
I never even tried
But until you know
When you’re lost and down
You come to trouble in time

It was a cold December
A rip city night
In a steel toe rage
Made a big mistake
Now I’ll be doing time

I was running with the order
I was running out of time
Now for me there is no quarter
I don’t want to be here
I don’t want to die

Serving 30 years to life
What I did I can’t deny
Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade

I remember it so well
The night I sent that boy to Hell
Lord, I’m sorry for the error of my ways

They sent me on a mission
Out to earn my stripes
Should have known damn well
When the curb stomp fell
Things would never be right

I was running with the order
I was running out of time
Now for me there is no quarter
I don’t want to be here
How many nights I’ve cried

Serving 30 years to life
What I did I can’t deny
Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade

I remember it so well
The night I sent that boy to Hell
Lord, I’m sorry for the error of my ways

‘Cause now I know
Now I know
I was wrong and I can’t let this go

I know
Now I know
I am sorry
What a wretched soul
What a big mistake

Now I’m growing old
18 years or more to go
I waste way in this cage
I’m all alone

That’s how the story goes
This is a tale that must be told
For what could be
Your destiny
You never know

‘Cause when you’re running with the order
You’re only running out of time
Now for me there is no quarter
I didn’t want to be here
I don’t want to die

Serving 30 years to life
What I did I can’t deny
Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade

My regret I know it well
But it’s too late to save myself
Lord, I’m sorry for the error of my ways

So the story goes
This is a tale that must be told
For the sorrow in my heart will never fade

So the story goes
This is a tale that must be told
Yes I’m sorry for the error of my ways

When there’s lightning
You know it always brings me down
'Cause it’s free, and I see that it’s me
Who’s lost and never found

I cry out for magic
I feel it dancing in the light
It was cold, lost my hold
To the shadows of the night

No sign of the morning coming
You’ve been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark
A rainbow in the dark

Do your demons
Do they ever let you go?
When you’ve tried, do they hide deep inside?
Is it someone that you know?

You’re just a picture
You’re an image caught in time
We’re a lie, you and I
We’re words without a rhyme

There’s no sign of the morning coming
You’ve been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark
Just a rainbow in the dark, yeah

When I see lightning
You know it always brings me down
'Cause it’s free, and I see that it’s me
Who’s lost and never found

Feel the magic
I feel it floating in the air
But it’s fear and you’ll hear
It calling you, beware, look out

There’s no sight of the morning coming
There’s no sign of the day
You’ve been left on your own
Like a rainbow

Like a rainbow in the dark, yeah, yeah
You’re a rainbow in the dark
Just a rainbow in the dark
No sign of the morning
You’re a rainbow in the dark, whoa

Sail Away - Deep Purple

If you’re driftin’ on an empty ocean
With no wind to fill your sail
The future, your horizon
It’s like searchin’ for the Holy Grail
You feel there’s no tomorrow
As you look into the water below
It’s only your reflection
And you still ain’t got no place to go

Time will show
When, I don’t know

Sail away tomorrow
Sailin’ far away
To find it steal or borrow
I’ll be there someday, yeah

Oh woman, I keep returnin’
To sing the same old song
The story’s been told, now I’m gettin’ old
Tell me, where do I belong?
Feel like I’m goin’ to surrender
Hard times I’ve had enough
If I could find a place, to hide my face
I believe, I could get back up

Time will show
When, I don’t know

Sail away tomorrow
Sailin’ far away
To find it steal or borrow
But I’ll be there someday, yeah

Sail away tomorrow
Sailin’ far away
To find it steal or borrow
But I’ll be there someday, yeah

Sail away tomorrow
Sailin’ far away
To find it steal or borrow
But I’ll be there someday, yeah

Friday Night - The Darkness

Hey you!
Do you remember me
I used to sit next to you at school
We indulged in all the extra-curricular activites
We weren’t particularly cool

Monday cycling
Tuesday gymnastics
Dancing on a Friday night
I got Bridge Club on Wednesday
Archery on Thursday
Dancing on a Friday night

Hey you!
Could you ever fall for me
The way I fell for you
And do you dwell upon the thoughts that I occupy
Or do you give yourself things to do?

Monday rowing
Tuesday badminton
Dancing on a Friday night
I got ping pong on Wednesday
Needlework on Thursday
Dancing on a Friday night
With you, with you

Monday, Tuesday
Wednesday, Thursday
Dancing on a Friday night
Let the music smother me
Whole weekend recovery
Dancing on a Friday night

See the lady I adore
Dancing on the dancing floor
Dancing on a Friday night
God, the way she moves me
To write bad poetry
Dancing on a Friday night
With you.

[Stacy2]

Can you remember, remember my name?
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
Ohh, and cold
Cold spirits of ice
Ah, ah, all my life
I am the echo of your past

I am returning, the echo of a point in time
And distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
Ohh, and laughing
As the spirits appear

All your, all your life
Shadows of another day

If you hear me talking on the wind
You’ve got to understand
We must remain
Perfect strangers

I know I must remain inside this silent
well of sorrow

A strand of silver hanging through the sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind
Oh, is aching with the dead of the night
Ohh, precious life
Your tears are lost in falling rain

And if you hear me talking on the wind
You’ve got to understand
We must remain
Perfect strangers

I’m getting ready
I’m in the mood to fool around
It’s time for action
Now the boys are back in town

So turn up the music
Make it loud and proud
Let’s see reaction
Let the spotlight hit the crowd

Don’t hide what you feel inside
Don’t let anybody stand in your way
Just let the music take you higher

Now are you ready to rock
Children of the night?
Are you ready to roll
Children of the night?

You got the power
I feel the fire in my soul
You got the fever
'Cause you were born to rock and roll

Don’t run for cover
I’m gonna show you what I’ve learned
Just come a little closer
Come on and get your fingers burned

Don’t hide what you feel inside
Don’t let anybody stand in your way
Just let the music take you higher

Now are you ready to rock?
Are you ready to roll?
Are you ready to rock?

Now are you ready to rock
Children of the night?
Are you ready to roll

Don’t hide what you feel inside

I’m a cold heartbreaker,
fit to burn and I’ll rip your heart in two
And I’ll leave you lyin’ on the bed
I’ll be out the door before you wake ‘em,
it’s nothin’ new to you
'Cause I think we’ve seen that movie, too

‘Cause you could be mine,
but you’re way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin’
and your cocaine tongue
You get nothin’ done, I said,
you could be mine, aw

Now, holidays come and then they go,
it’s nothin’ new today
Collect another memory
When I come home, late at night,
don’t ask me where I’ve been
Just count your stars I’m home again

‘Cause you could be mine,
but you’re way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin’
and your cocaine tongue
You get nothin’ done, I said,
you could be mine

You could be mine, you could be mine
You could be mine, you could be mine
You could be mine, mine, mine, mine
You’ve gone sketching too many times
Ooh, why don’t you give it a rest?
Why must you find another reason to cry?

Well, you’re breakin’ down my back
and I’ve been rackin’ out my brain
It don’t matter how we make it,
‘cause it always ends the same
You can push it for more mileage,
but your flaps are wearing thin
And I could sleep on it until mornin’,
but this nightmare never ends
Don’t forget to call my lawyers
with ridiculous demands

An’ you can take the pity so far,
but it’s more than I can stand
‘Cause this couch-trip’s gettin’ older,
tell me how long has it been?
'Cause five years is forever,
and you haven’t grown up yet

Oh, you could be mine,
but you’re way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin’
and your cocaine tongue
You get nothin’ done, I said,
you could, you should be

You could be mine
Oh, you could be mine
You could be mine
Aw, you could be mine
You could be mine

Aw, you could be mine
Aw, you could be mine
Aw, you could be mine
You could be mine, yeah

The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin

It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I’ve felt before
It isn’t hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low

It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me Keepers of the Gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
Ain’t so hard to recognize, oh
These things are clear to all from time to time, ooh, oh oh

Talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk, hey!
I’ve felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us
But I know that I love you so, oh oh
But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion
And like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I seek the torch we all must hold
This is the mystery of the coldest quotient
Upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall
It’s just a little rain, oh, oh, ooh, yeah

FLICK OF THE WRIST-QUEEN

Dislocate your spine, if you don’t sign", he says

I’ll have you seeing double

Mesmerize you when he’s tongue-tied

Simply with those eyes

Synchronize your minds and see

The beast within him rise

Don’t look back

Don’t look back

It’s a rip-off

Flick of the wrist and you’re dead, baby

Blow him a kiss and you’re mad

Flick of the wrist

He’ll eat your heart out

A dig in the ribs

And then a kick in the head

He’s takin’ an arm, he’s takin’ a leg

All this time, honey

Baby, you’ve been hurt

Intoxicate your brain with what I’m saying

If not, you’ll lie in knee-deep trouble

“Prostitute yourself”, he said

Castrate your human pride

Sacrifice your leisure days

Let me squeeze you 'til you’ve dried

Don’t look back

Don’t look back

Ooh, it’s a rip-off

Work my fingers to my bones

I scream with pain

I still make no impression, oh

Seduce you with his money-make machine

Cross collateralize (big-time money, money)

Reduce you to a muzak fake machine

Then the last goodbye

It’s a rip-off

Flick of the wrist and you’re dead, baby

Blow him a kiss and you’re mad

Flick of the wrist

He’ll eat your heart out

(A dig in the ribs)

And then a kick in the head

He’s takin’ an arm and takin’ a leg

All this time, honey

Baby, you’ve been hurt

Powerslave - Iron Maiden

Into the abyss I’ll fall, the eye of Horus
Into the eyes of the night, watching me go
Green is the cat’s eye that glows in this temple
Enter the risen Osiris, risen again

Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don’t wanna die, I’m a god
Why can’t I live on?
When the life giver dies, all around is laid waste
And in my last hour I’m a slave to the power of death

When I was living this lie, fear was my game
People would worship and fall, drop to their knees
So bring me the blood and red wine
For the one to succeed me
For He is a man and a God, and He will die too

Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don’t wanna die, I’m a god
Why can’t I live on?
When the life giver dies, all around is laid waste
And in my last hour, I’m a slave to the power of death

Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins
Silent the terror that reigned, marbled in stone
A shell of a man, god preserved for a thousand ages
But open the gates of my hell
I’ll strike from the grave

Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don’t wanna die, I’m a god
Why can’t I live on?
When the Life Giver dies, all around is laid waste
And in my last hour I’m a slave to the power of death

Slave to the power of death
Slave to the power of death

The Ministry of Lost Souls-Dream Theater

The water’s edge is where she waits

Lost soul still wandering

Meant to die

But she’s stuck, not crossing over

The other side is where he waits

His spirit reaching out

Meant to save

But she’s too scared to take his hand

Living in a world without you

(Drowning in the past)

Is living in no world at all

So now I call on you

Remember me, I gave you life

You would not take it

Your suffering was all in vain

It’s almost over now

Don’t turn your back on paradise

Feeling scared, she’s prepared

To give up everything

She can’t stand

To feel like half of her is fading

He will choose the only way

To rid her of her pain

Take her soul now

The decision has been made

Living in a world without love

(A burden to my soul)

Is living in a worthless world

So I will call on you

Remember me, I gave you life

You would not take it

Your suffering was all in vain

It’s almost over

Remember me, you were so young

How could I tell you?

Remember me, I am the one

Who saved your life that night

I was the one who would not abandon you

Even in death I was the one who would not leave you

I used my freedom to protect you

And all the while direct you

Do you remember me this time?

Even in death I gave you life

I gave you life

I wanted to deserve a place

A place beside you

This time when I reached out my hand

It reached all the way to heaven

Remember me, I gave you life

You would not take it

Your suffering was all in vain

It’s almost over now

Goodbye, it’s almost over now

Goodbye, it’s time

I release you from this life

Don’t turn your back on paradise

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble, we’ve got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack

Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheelblocks,
there’s no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Got to get airborne before it’s too late

Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving

Run, live to fly
Fly to live, do or die
Won’t you run, live to fly
Fly to live, aces high

Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin 'round to come in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing again

Bandits at 8 o’clock move in behind us
Ten ME-109’s out of the sun
Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them, I press down my guns

Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving (doing it again)
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving

Run, live to fly
Fly to live, do or die
Won’t you run, live to fly
Fly to live, aces high

Child Of Babylon - Whitesnake

Well, I heard the sound of thunder
On the day that I was born
I was blinded by the lighting
And baptized in the storm

My father started crying
When he saw what he had done
But my mother started praying
Have mercy on my son
He is a child of Babylon

I am a child of Babylon
Lord, have mercy on a wayward son
And nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
I am a child, a child of Babylon

Well, I’ve fooled around so many times
When I’ve known it ain’t been right
But I paint it all in colors
When it really should be black and white

I sail my ship through muddy water
Try to open every door
When I saw the seven wonders
It left me wanting more

I am a child of Babylon
Lord, have mercy on a wayward son
And nowhere to hide, got no place to run
I am a child, a child of Babylon

On my day of judgement
I know how it will be
I’m prepared to meet my maker
With no hope for charity

I’ll stand alone and pay the price
For everything I’ve done
'Cause there ain’t a guardian angel
For a child of Babylon

I am a child, child of Babylon
I am a child of Babylon
Lord, have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run
I am a child, child of Babylon

“Sloe Gin” Joe Bonnamassa

Sloe Gin, sloe Gin
Tryin’ to wash away the pain inside
Well I’m sick and I’m all done in
And I’m standing in the rain
And I feel like I’m gonna cry

I’m so damn lonely
And I ain’t even high
I’m so damn lonely
And I feel like I’m gonna die

Mayday, mayday I’ve been shot down
Over the stormy sea
Well I feel that I’m drifting away
Can not seem to get a grip on me
Well. I can’t even try

I’m so damn lonely
Ain’t even high
I hate to go home alone,
But what else is new?
I’m so damn lonely

I hate to go home alone,
But what else is new?
I’m so damn lonely…

You stand and bleeding people pass me by
No matter if you live
No matter if you die

Sloe Gin, sloe Gin
Tryin’ to wash away the pain inside
Well I’m sick and I’m all done in
I’m standing in the rain
And I feel like I’m gonna cry

I’m so damn lonely
Ain’t even high
I’m so damn lonely…

COLD-BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION

Take my eyes

Burn down the Sun

How can you be so cold?

You left me here

All hope is gone

Where is the life

Sold

l pray the dawn

Will break this spell

What will become of me?

It took my breath

So hard I fell

Lost in a shell, ghostly

And the rain falls down

On the this lonely child

And I could not feel

The fire

And I realize

This was meant to be

And I need some time

To grieve

And you fade so slowly

Now all that shines is Gold

And I feel I’m dyin’

How can you be so cold?

When the sky is fallin’

Now that you’re growin’ old

And I feel I’m dyin’

How can you be so cold?

So slowly wake me

From my sleep

Here in this house I dwell

And don’t delay

The wound so deep

Down in this livin’ hell

Child In Time - Deep Purple

Sweet child in time
You’ll see the line
The line that’s drawn between
Good and bad
See the blind man
Shooting at the world
Bullets flying
Oh, taking toll
If you’ve been bad
Oh, Lord, I bet you have
And you’ve not been hit
Oh, by flying lead
You’d better close your eyes
Oh
Bow your head
Wait for the ricochet

Sweet child in time
You’ll see the line
The line that’s drawn between
Good and bad
See the blind man
Shooting at the world

And you’ve not been hit
