1. 20TH CENTURY BOY

Friends say it's fine
friends say it's good

Everybody says it's just like rock n' roll
I move like a cat
Talk like a rat

Sting like a bee
Oh babe I wanna be your man

Well it's plain to see you were meant for me
Yeah I'm your toy
Your 20th century boy

Friends says it's fine
Friends says it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock n' roll

I fly like a plane
Drive like a car
Bawl like a hound

Oh babe I wanna be your man
Well it's plain to see you were meant for me
Yeah I'm your toy
Your 20th century boy

20th century toy
I wanna be your boy
20th century toy

I wanna be your boy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy

Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock n' roll

I move like a cat
Talk like a rat
Sting like a bee
Oh babe I wanna be your man

Well it's plain to see you were meant for me
Yeah I'm your toy
Your 20th century boy

20th century toy
I wanna be your boy
20th century toy

I wanna be your boy
20th century toy

I wanna be your boy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy


2. ROCK ON

Hey kid, rock and roll
Rock on
Ooh my soul

Hey kid, boogie too, did ya
Hey shout, summertime blues

Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes
Hey kid, rock and roll
Rock on

And where do we go from here
Which is the way that's clear

Still looking for that blue jean
Baby queen
Prettiest girl I ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen
Jimmy Dean

And where do we go from here
Which is the way that's clear

Still looking for that blue jean
Baby queen
Prettiest girl I ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen
Jimmy Dean
Jimmy Dean

3. HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE

I'm in the phone booth it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall

I know you're there so I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

I heard your mother now she's walking out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store
All those things she said I told you to ignore

Whoah why can't we talk again
Whoah why can't we talk again
Whoah why can't we talk again

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong

I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection

Whoah I can't control myself
Whoah I can't control myself
Whoah I can't control myself

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Oh hang up and run to me
Oh hang up and run to me

Oh hang up and run to me
Oh hang up and run to me
Oh ooh ooh hang up and run to me


4. WATERLOO SUNSET

Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowin' into the night
People so busy, making me dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright

But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time

Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine

Terry meets Julie at Waterloo Station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, I don't like to wander

I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine

Millions of people swarming like flies
'Round Waterloo underground

But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And they don't need no friends

As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise

Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine

Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine


5. HELL RAISER

Look out!

Momma let me out on a Saturday night
She said now go out and get her, go and hold her tight
I said now momma you don't understand everytime I touch her...

...hand, it's like I'm burning in the fires of hell
If I hold it too long you never can tell
What would happen to me, wouldn't want you to see
Look out

She's a hell raiser, star chaser, trail blazer
Natural born raver, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hell raiser, star chaser, trail blazer
Natural born raver, yeah, yeah, yeah
Look out

She's like a live bombshell, like a flash out of hell
And when she's shakin' it, ooooh everyone fell...

...at her feet and that's neat and she took me completely...
...by suprise with her ultrasonic eyes
They were flashing like hysterical danger signs
She said beware where you tread or you'll go out of your head
Look out

She's a hell raiser, star chaser, trail blazer
Natural born raver, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hell raiser, star chaser, trail blazer
Natural born raver, yeah, yeah, yeah
Look out

Hell raiser
Hell raiser

Hell raiser
Hell raiser

Momma you don't understand everytime I touch her
...hand, it's like I'm burning in the fires of hell

And if I hold it too long you never can tell
What would happen to me, wouldn't want you to see
Look out

She's a hell raiser, star chaser, trail blazer
Natural born raver, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hell raiser, star chaser, trail blazer

Natural born raver, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hell raiser
Hell raiser

Hell raiser
Hell raiser
Ooooooh look out


6. 10538 OVERTURE

Did you see your friend crying from his eyes today
Did you see him run through the streets and far away, ahh

Did you see him run, did you see him fall
Did his life flash by at the bedroom door

Did you hear the news it came across the air today
Someone has been found on the rocks down in the bay, ahh

Did you see him hide, did you see him crawl
Does his life mean more than it did before

Did you see that man running through the streets today
Did you catch his face, was it 10538, ahh


7. STREET LIFE

Wish everybody would leave me alone, yeah
They're always calling on my telephone

When I pick it up there's no one there
So I walk outside just to take the air

Come on with me cruising down the street
Who knows what you'll see, who you might meet

This brave new world's not like yesterday
It can take you higher than the milky way

And now I'm blinded, I can hardly see, yeah
No more bright lights confusing me, no

Don't ask me why I'm feeling blue
'Cause loving you is all I can do

Hey good-looking boys gather around
The sidewalk papers gutter-press you down

All those lies, they can be so unkind
They can make you feel like you're losing your mind

Street life
Street life

Street life
What a life

Street life
Street life

Street life
What a life

Back to nature boys, vasser girls too
Watch what you say or think or do

Continental-style strasse girls might
But you know exactly if it's wrong or right
Education is an important key, yeah

But the good life's never won by degrees, no
There's pointless passing through Harvard or Yale
Only window shopping, its strictly no sale

Weekend starts Friday soon after eight
Your jet black magic helps you celebrate
You may be stranded if you stick around
And that's really something


8. DRIVE-IN SATURDAY

Let me put my arms around your head
Gee it's hot, let's go to bed

Don't forget to turn out the light
Don't laugh babe, it'll be alright
Pour me out another phone

I'll ring and see if your friends are home
Perhaps the strange ones in the dome
Can lend us a book we can read up alone

And try to get it on like once before
When people stared in Jagger's eyes and scored
Like the video films we saw

His name was always Buddy
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
And she'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid
To turn her face away

She's uncertain if she likes him
But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers
It's a drive-in Saturday

Jung the foreman prayed at work
That neither hands nor limbs would burst
It's hard enough to keep formation

With this fall out saturation
Cursing at the Astronette
He stands in steel by his cabinet

He's crashing out with Sylvian
The Bureau Supply for ageing men

With snorting head he gazes to the shore
Which once had raised a sea that raged no more
Like the video films we saw

His name was always Buddy
And he'd shrug and ask to stay

And she'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid
To turn her face away
She's uncertain if she likes him

But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers
It's a drive-in Saturday

His name was always Buddy
And he'd shrug and ask to stay

And she'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid
To turn her face away
She's uncertain if she likes him

But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers
It's a drive-in Saturday

It's a drive-in Saturday
It's a drive-in Saturday

It's a drive-in Saturday
It's a drive-in Saturday


9. LITTLE BIT OF LOVE

I believe
If you give a little bit of love

To those you live with
A little bit of love
Oh oh oh
Has gotta come your way

Well in my mind
It's easy to lose sight of the truth

But in my heart
I can't deny my feeling inside

'Cause I believe
If you give a little bit of love

To those you live with
A little bit of love
Oh oh oh
Has gotta come your way

Man in the sky
You're flying, yeah
To lose sight of the world

If you wanna stay high
Then don't deny your feeling inside

'Cause I believe
If you give a little bit of love

To those you live with
A little bit of love
Oh oh oh
Has gotta come your way

Yeah, yeah
Ooooh

I believe
If you give a little bit of love

To those you live with
A little bit of love
Uh
Has gotta come your way
I believe
If you give a little bit of love

To those you live with
A little bit of love
Whoo
Has gotta come your way


10. THE GOLDEN AGE OF ROCK 'N' ROLL

Ladies and gentlemen, the golden age of rock 'n' roll

Everybody hazy, shell-shocked and crazy
Screaming for the face at the window

Jeans for the genies, dresses for the dreamies
Fighting for a place in the front row

Whoah, whoah, whoah
It's good for your body

It's good for your soul
Whoah, whoah, let's go It's the golden age of rock and roll

Well you getta little buzz, send for the fuzz
Guitars getting higher and higher

The dude in the paint thinks he's gonna faint
Stoke more coke on the fire

Whoah, whoah, whoah
You gotta stay young
You never grow old
Whoah, whoah, whoah

It's the golden age of rock and roll
The golden age of rock 'n' roll will never die

As long as children feel the need to laugh and cry
Don't wanna smash, I want a smash sensation

Don't wanna wreck, just recreation
Don't wanna fight but if you turn us down
We're gonna turn you around
Gonna mess with the sound

The show's gotta move, everybody groove
There ain't no trouble on the streets now

So if the going gets rough, don't you blame us
You ninety-six decible freaks

Whoah, whoah, whoah
It's good for body
It's good for your soul

Whoah, whoah, whoah
It's the golden age of rock and roll

Whoah, whoah, whoah
(You gotta stay young, you never grow old)
It's the golden age of rock and roll
Whoah, whoah, whoah

(It's good for your body, it's good for your soul)
It's the golden age of rock and roll
Whoah, whoah, whoah

(You gotta stay young, you never grow old)
It's the golden age of rock and roll
Whoah, whoah, whoah

(It's good for your body, it's good for your soul)
It's the golden age of rock and roll

That's all


11. NO MATTER WHAT

No matter what you are
I will always be with you

Doesn't matter what you do girl
Ooh girl with you

No matter what you do
I will always be around

Won't you tell me what you found girl
Ooh girl, oh won't you

Knock down the old brick wall
And be a part of it all

Nothing to say
Nothing to see
Nothing to do

If you would give me all
As I would give it to you

Nothing would be
Nothing would be
Nothing would be

No matter where you go
There will always be a place

Can't you see it in my face girl
Oh girl won't you

Yeah

Knock down the old brick wall
And be a part of it all

Nothing to say
Nothing to see
Nothing to do

If you would give me all
As I would give it to you

Nothing would be
Nothing would be
Nothing would be

No matter what you are
I will always be with you

Doesn't matter what you do girl
Ooh girl with you

Ooh girl, you girl, I want you
Ooh girl, you girl, I want you


12. HE'S GONNA STEP ON YOU AGAIN

(He's gonna step on you again)
(He's gonna step on you again)

Hey rainmaker come away from that man you know
He's gonna take away your promised land

Hey good lady he just want what you got
You know he never stop until he taken the lot

Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire

Don't you know that he can
Make you forget you're a man
Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire

Don't you know that he can
Make you forget you're a man
You're a man
He's a man

Hey rainmaker he got golden plans
I tell you he make you a stranger in your land

Hey good lady he got God on his side
he got a double tongue you never think that he lie

Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire

Don't you know that he can
Make you forget you're a man
Gonna stamp out your fire

He can change your desire
Don't you know that he can
Make you forget you're a man
You're a man
He's a man

(He's gonna step on you again)
(He's gonna step on you again)

Hey rainmaker come away from that man
You know he's gonna take away your promised land

Hey good lady he got God on his side
He got a double tongue you never think that he lie

Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know that he can

Make you forget you're a man
Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire

Don't you know that he can
Make you forget you're a man
You're a man
He's a man


13. DON'T BELIEVE A WORD

Don't believe me if I tell you
Not a word of this is true
Don't believe me if I tell you
Especially if I tell you

I'm in love with you
Don't believe me if I tell you
That I wrote this song for you

There just might be some other silly pretty girl
I'm singing it to

Don't believe a word
For words are so easily spoken
And your heart is just like that promise
Made to be broken

Don't believe a word
'Cause words can tell lies
And your lies are no comfort
When there's tear in your eyes

Don't believe me if I tell you
Not a word of this is true

Don't believe me if I tell you
Especially if I tell you
That I'm in love with you
Don't believe a word

No don't believe a word
Don't believe me, don't believe me
Not a single word
Hey dontcha


14. STAY WITH ME

In the mornin' don't say you love me
'Cause I'll only kick you out of the door
I know your name is Rita

'Cause your perfume smells sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor
Guitar

You won't need too much pursuadin'
I don't mean to sound degradin'

But with a face like that you got nothin' to laugh about
Red lips, hair and fingernails
I hear you're a mean old Jezebel

Let's go upstairs and read my tarot cards
Come on honey

Stay with me
Stay with me

For tonight you're gonna stay with me
Oh yeah

Stay with me
Stay with me

For tonight you better stay with me
Come on, one more, yeah

So in the mornin' please don't say you love me
'Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door
Yeah, I'll pay your cab fare home

You can even use my best cologne
But don't be here in the mornin' when I wake up
Come on, yeah

Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you're gonna stay with me
Sit down, get up, get out

Stay with me, stay with me
'Cause tonight you're gonna stay with me
Hey, what's your name again

Oh no
Get out
Come on

Yeah
Get yourself home
Sit down
