       HIGHWAY STAR       Содержание  
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
Oooh, it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power
Big fat tyres 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
Oooh, she's a killing machine
She's 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 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
Oooh, I'm in heaven again I've got everything
Like a moving ground -
throttle control and everything.
I love it and I need it, I seed it
Eight cylinders, all mine!
All right, hold 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
Oooh it's a killing machine
It's got everything

Fat tyres and everything
I love it and I need it, I bleed it
Yeah it's a wild hurricane
All right, hold tight

I'm a highway star,
I'm a highway star!
		
       MAYBE I'M A LEO       Содержание		
Peeping round the door
I got a big surprise.
Couldn't see a thing
But open skies.
They've taken her away.
Where is she now?
Wish that she was here
I wish she'd hold my hand.
Maybe she could laugh
Or maybe understand
Why was I so cruel,
where is she now?
Acting like a fool
Had to make her cry.
Maybe I'm a Leo
But I ain't a lion.
I'm hurting oh so bad,
I want her now.		
		 
       PICTURES OF HOME       Содержание
Somebody's shouting up at a mountain
Only my own words return.
Nobody's up there, it's a deception
When will I ever learn.
I'm alone here, with emptiness, eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And whispering pictures of home.
Wondering blindly how can they find me
Maybe they don't even know.
My body is shaking anticipating
The call of the black footed crow...
Here in this prison of my own making
Year after day I have grown.
Into a hero but there's no worship
Where have they hidden my thrown...			
		
       NEVER BEFORE       Содержание
Somebody, somebody come to my side
I'm tired, I'm crying, 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.
I was hurt when I was younger
By a woman who was cold.
She took my name, she took my body
Then she threw away my soul.
Can't hide, I can't hide my misery
I know my sorrow won't set me free.
She did it, just see, she did it to me
Help me now, please my fried
I'd never felt so bad before
Never never before.				
		
       SMOKE ON THE WATER       Содержание
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground.
Smoke on the water,
Fire in the sky
Smoke on the water.
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race.
Smoke on the water,
Fire in the sky.
Smoke on the water.
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water,
Fire in the sky.
Smoke on the water.				
		
       LAZY       Содержание
You're lazy just stay in bed
You're lazy just stay in bed
You don't want no money
You don't want no bread
If you're drowning you don't clutch no straw
If you're drowning you don't clutch no straw
You don't want to live you don't want to cry no more
Well my trying ain't done no good
I said my trying ain't done no good
You don't make no effort no not like you should
Lazy you just stay in bed
Lazy you just stay in bed
You don't want no money
You don't want no bread.		
		
       SPACE TRUCKIN'       Содержание
We had a lot of luck on Venus
We always had a ball on Mars
Meeting all the groovy people
We've rocked the Milky Way so far
We danced around with Borealis
We're space truckin' round the the stars
Come on let's go Space Truckin'
Remember when we did the moonshot
And Pony Trekker led the way
We'd move to the Canaveral Moonstomp
And everyone would dance and sway
We got music in our solar system
We're space truckin' round the stars
Come on let's go Space Truckin'
The fireball that we rode was moving
But now we've got a new machine
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah the freaks said
Man those cats can really swing
They got music in their solar system
They've rocked around the Milky Way
They dance around the Borealis
They're Space Truckin' everyday
Come on.

       WHEN A BLIND MAN CRIES       Содержание
If you're leaving close the door
I'm not expecting people anymore.
Hear me grieving, I'm lying on the floor
Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure.
I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man
And my world is pale.
When a blind man cries,
Lord, you know there ain't no sadder tale.
Had a friend once in a room,
had a good time but it ended much too soon.
In a cold month in that room
we found a reason for the things we had to do.
I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man
Now my room is cold.
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know he feels it from his soul.
