a1 - wheels ain't coming down

We were leaving L.A. airport
Me and Midlands misery
On an early morning plane flight out
To sub radio XYZ

Was a 1950's prop job
That had seen much better days
When we came on into the last approach
Saw the runway through a haze

And the wheels ain't coming down
All in mind our lives passed before my eyes
And the wheels ain't coming down
And you realize you wanna stay alive
You wanna stay alive

Women weeping, children playing
As we roared into a climb
Men was praying, we was drinking lots
And it never cost a dime

Altered course for San Francisco
Standing by on a red alert
Gonna chance a landing on the sea
Hoping nobody gets hurt

And the wheels ain't coming down
All in mind our lives passed before my eyes
And the wheels ain't coming down
And you realize you wanna stay alive
You wanna stay alive

Wanna stay alive

Stay alive

We applauded Chuck the captain
When our feet had touched the ground
And I wont forget the moment he said
Its OK folks, the wheels are coming down

And the wheels they're coming down
Did you realize its good to be alive
And the wheels they're coming down
Did you realize you're gonna still survive
Its good to be alive

Its good to be alive

They're coming down
They're coming on down
They're coming on down
They're coming on down


a2 - hold onto your hats

(You'd better hold on to your hats now)
Gonna stay, yeah, gonna stay, all night
(You'd better hold on to your hats now)
Gonna play, yeah, gonna play all night
Electric guitars, turn on the honky
Gotta let it go, go, go

(You'd better hold on to your hats now)
Gonna stay, yeah, gonna stay all day
(You'd better hold on to your hats now)
Gonna play, gonna play all day
So if you've got it, you'd better flaunt it
Gotta let it go, go, go

Got your girl, a got your boy
Got you something to get you high
(Better hold on to your hats now)
I got your rhythm, you got your beat
I'm gonna get you up off your seat
Gotta throw away your blues
You got nothing else to lose

(You'd better hold on to your hats now)
Gonna stay, yeah, gonna stay all night
(You'd better hold on to your hats now)
Gonna play, yeah, gonna play all night
Barring sensations, too hot to handle
Gotta let it go, go, go, go

Keep it going, see you all flaunt it, flaunt it

(You'd better hold on to your hats now, hey, hey, hey)
Gotta throw away your blues
You got nothing else to lose

(You'd better hold on to your hats now)
Gonna stay, gonna stay all day
(You'd better hold on to your hats now)
Hold on all day
Yes circulation, turn on the honky
Gotta let it go, go, go
Go, go, go
Go, go, go


a3 - chakeeta

When ya gaze right into your crystal ball, show me what you see
Surely that piece of glass can't tell ya all, it ain't made to love me
And when you open up your gypsy eyes, I can't look away
Using that magic spell to hypnotise, you can make me stay

Hey Chakeeta
You put the hurt on me, you put the hurt on me
Hey Chakeeta
You put the hurt on me, you put the hurt on me

Listen, your voodoo hearts beating too fast, beating in my palm
All of them a hoodoo curses ain't made to last, throw away your charm

Hey Chakeeta
You put the hurt on me, you put the hurt on me
Hey Chakeeta
You put the hurt on me, you put the hurt on me

A Chakeeta, Chakeeta, you put the hurt on me

With your electric vibration, your fascination, see how I'm still here
Check into an itineration, my infatuation, oh, I won't disappear

Hey Chakeeta
You put the hurt on me, you put the hurt on me
Hey Chakeeta
You put the hurt on me, you put the hurt on me

Hey Chakeeta, Chakeeta
Open up your gypsy eyes, you make a spell and hypnotise
Gaze into your crystal ball, that piece of glass can't tell you all
You put the hurt on me, ooh, you put the hurt on me


a4 - don't waste your time (back seat star)

Don't waste your time, a honey, don't waste your time
You're getting caught up on a merry go round
And I know you like the feeling going up, going down

Don't waste your time, a honey, find a new line
Come up and see me sometime just ain't your style
And I know there used to be a time when you'd run a mile

And you've been riding in them rock and roll cars
You want to be a back seat star
And cause you ain't got into trouble so far
So you think you've got it, you think you've got it

Made on Page 3, a honey, for all to see
Your finer points are gonna make someone’s day
And I know it pays to advertise the goods on display

And you've been riding in them rock and roll cars
You want to be a back seat star
And cause you ain't got into trouble so far
So you think you've got it, you think you've got it made

Remember you're lost without your love
Remember the cost without your love
Remember you're lost without your love
A honey, honey

Honey, honey
Yeah

Don't spoil your fun, honey, honey, and don't jump the gun
A tricky dicky situation will arise
And I know that all you're gonna get's a great big surprise

You've been riding in them rock and roll cars
You want to be a back seat star
And cause you ain't got into trouble so far
So you think you've got it, you think you've got it

And you've been riding in them rock and roll cars
You want to be a back seat star
And cause you ain't got into trouble so far
So you think you've got it, you think you've got it made

Don't waste your time
Find a new line
And don't jump the gun, honey, honey
Don't spoil your fun
Don't waste your time
Ooh, find a new line
Don't waste your time
And don't waste your time


A5 - sign of the times

Modern days there's been some changes in my life
A supersonic return flight
It's a sign of the times

Modern days we've seen a man up on the moon
The 21st century's coming soon
It's a sign of the times

Turn on your radio
Turn up the VHF on your stereo
Turn on the TV show
In multi colour 625 video
These are the TV times
These are the radio times

Modern days beware big brother in '84
Test tube babes being born
It's a sign of the times

Lasers days we leave the 70's far behind
For close encounters of every kind
It's a sign of the times

Turn on your radio
Turn up the VHF on your stereo
Turn on the TV show
In multi colour 625 video
It's the computer age
Now it's the silicon place

Returning to base
From a day out in space
Will be easy I know

And when all said and done half way up to the sun
We'll be all system go
Say hello to the Modern days

Turn on your radio
Turn up the VHF on your stereo
Turn on the TV show
In multi colour 625 video
These are the TV times
These are the radio times

It's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the times
A sign of the times
It's a sign of the times


B1 - i'm a rocker

Yeah

I went a out on the floor when they played number one
My rock 'n' roll baby was sure having fun

I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I go down sometimes but I come back to rock 'n' rollin’, rollin’

I went out on the floor when they played number two
She said she don't but I know she do

I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I go down sometimes but I come back to rock 'n' roll in', roll in'

Well I went out on the floor when they played number four
My little baby was asking for more

I'm a rocker, oh, oh, I'm a roller
I go down sometimes but I come back to rock 'n' rollin’, rollin’
Oh, get on

Wooh
Go on Davey, get the fuck in
Hey, hey

Chuck Hill
Rock ‘n’ rollin’

Oh, I went out on the floor when they played number seven
Had a coke and cheeseburger that sent me to heaven

I'm a rocker, hey, hey, I'm a roller, woo
I go down sometimes but I come back to rock 'n' rollin’, rollin’

I went out on the floor when they played number nine
She wanted more but I haven’t got time

I'm a rocker, oh, I'm a roller
I go down sometimes but I come back to rock 'n' rollin’, rollin’

Oh, we went out on the floor when they played number ten
My rock 'n' roll baby says do it again

I'm a rocker, oh, oh, I'm a roller
Hey, hey, I go down sometimes but I come back to rock 'n' rollin’, rollin’
I go down sometimes but I come back to rock 'n' rollin’, rollin’
I go down sometimes but I come back to rock 'n' roll

Yay

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yay oh woo, wooh


B2 - nut bolts and screws

Roll it on, roll it on

Cold funny farm ain't no home
Joe is sitting there on his own
Sitting there a pissing, missing all the kissing
Wishing that he wasn't alone

I heard it on the news, I heard it on the news
Nut, bolts and screws, I heard it on the news
I heard it on the news, I heard it on the news
Nut, bolts and screws, I heard it on the news

All of the cuckoos at rest
One flies away from the nest
Finds himself a cutie, a rootin’ tootin’ beauty
She make the hair stand up on his chest

I heard it on the news, I heard it on the news
Nut, bolts and screws, I heard it on the news
I heard it on the news, I heard it on the news
Nut, bolts and screws, I heard it on the news

All he needed was a little female company
Just to help him take away some of the misery
All he wanted was a little bit of ecstasy
Be sure they're right behind him, be sure they caught up on him, and oh

Joey got a shot in the arm
And now he's sleeping back at the farm
Still knows he can do it, I guess he always knew it
He never done nobody no harm

I heard it on the news, I heard it on the news
Nut, bolts and screws, I heard it on the news
I heard it on the news, I heard it on the news
Nut, bolts and screws, I heard it on the news
I heard it on the news, I heard it on the news

Nut, bolts and screws, nut, bolts and screws
Extra, extra, read all about it
Nut, bolts and screws, nut, bolts and screws
Extra, extra, read all about it
Paper, paper, late edition
Read all about it


B3 - my baby's got it

Baby got it ooh ooh she got it
Baby got it ooh ooh she got it

Well maybe you think you're Harlow
Lana Turner or the Hedy Lamarr
Well baby baby baby believe me
You go too far

My baby she can't stop it
My baby ooh she got it
She's holding it against me
She's sure to be a shaking it again

Baby got it ooh ooh she got it
Baby got it ooh ooh she got it

Well maybe you think I'm Brando
Valentino or a Freddy Astaire
Well baby baby baby believe me
I don't care

My baby she can bop it
My baby ooh she got it
She's a hot dog a doo da
And she's sure to be a doing it again

Giving me the go
The girl is ever ready to please
Giving me the go
The girl is turning over
Changing all the red into green

You're never too young to rock me
You're never too old to roll
Well baby baby baby believe me
Ooh my soul

My baby she's a looker
She sure sure sure is a cooker
She's making it and faking it
And sure to be a shaking it again

Giving me the go
The girl is ever ready to please
Giving me the go
The girl is turning over
Changing all the red into green

Baby got it ooh ooh she got it now
Baby got it ooh ooh she got it
Baby got it ooh ooh she got it now
Baby got it ooh ooh she got it

Oh I'd rather be Bela Lugosi
Or the Marx Brothers rolled into one
Well baby baby baby believe me
I'm solid gone

My baby she can't stop it
My baby ooh she got it
She's holding it against me
And she's sure to be a shaking it again

Oh giving me the go
The girl is ever ready to please
Giving me the go
The girl is turning over
Changing all the red into green

Sing it now

Ooh she got it

My baby baby got it
Ooh ooh she got it


B4 - i'm mad

I get strange exotic dreams
With some strange erotic scenes
Gonna sleep all day

I get notions by the score
Most of them against the law
Do them anyway

So I took a trip to see Kane's Xanadu
Coz at the time there wasn't very much to do
I think I'm coming down, coming down

I get weird imaginings
About all different kinds or things
But I always try

To get fantasising thoughts
Maybe Bardot in her shorts
Like a natural kind

So I took a trip to Tutankhamen's tomb
He was alone and said he hoped Id come back soon

I'm mad
This pounding in my brain
Will somebody explain
The way back to reality

Hey you
You keep your nose so clean
Your mind is so obscene
You'll find another change in me

I think I'm coming down
Looking straight ahead
The room is spinning round
Them blues have knocked me dead
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm going mad
Out of my head
I'm going mad

Coz now I've given back the top hat to Astaire
Oh not that I expected you to really care

I'm mad
This pounding in my brain
Will somebody explain
The way back to reality

Hey you
You keep your nose so clean
Your mind is so obscene
You'll find another change in me

I think I'm coming down
Looking straight ahead
The room is spinning round
Them blues have knocked me dead
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm going mad
Out of my head
I'm going mad

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm going mad
Out of my head
I'm going mad


B5 - lemme love into ya

Lemme love into you, lemme, lemme love into you
Lemme take you, lemme me make you, let me give you love

Lemme give you something, lemme, lemme give you something
To remember, lemme bend ya, let me give you love

Lemme give you love, lemme give you love, lemme give you love
Lemme give you love, lemme give you love, lemme give you love

Lemme love into ya, ooh, uh, lemme, lemme love into ya
Lemme meet ya, lemme teach ya, let me give you love

Lemme give you love, lemme give you love, lemme give you love, yay
Lemme give you love, lemme give you love, lemme give you love, yay, yay, yay


B6 - ginny, ginny

Ginny, Ginny, Ginny

Woo

Every Saturday she spends the night on the tiles
Every Sunday morning never early to rise
Back to work on Monday with the sleep in her eyes
She's late so she dives

Every Tuesday evening stays in washing her hair
I call her up on Wednesday, find there's nobody there
Working late on Thursday, oh, coz Friday's the day
When she gets her pay

Ginny gotta get it while you can
She ain't about to start no random plan
Ginny, Ginny, boxes candy, handyman
She won't change, coz she's never gonna change, yeah

Always takes a week in the winter to ski
She goes as Mrs Smith so she can get in for free
Late again on Monday, says her plane was delayed
Or so she says

Always said she wants to find a millionaire
But he must be one with understanding to spare
Coz Ginny ain't the kind of girl a man can tie down
She's sure been around

Ginny gotta get it while you can
She ain't about to start no random plan
Ginny, Ginny, boxes candy, handyman
And she won't change, oh, no, no

Ginny, Ginny, Ginny, get it while you can
She ain't about to start no random plan
Ginny got a box of funny money, handyman
And she won't change, no, she's never gonna change, yeah

Ginny, Ginny, Ginny

Every Saturday Ginny's out on the tiles
Every Sunday morning never early to rise
I can't afford to buy her any diamonds or pearls
She ain't one of the girls

Ginny gotta get it while you can
She ain't about to start no random plan
She's gotta find a money, money, money handyman
And she won't change, oh, no, no

Ginny, Ginny, Ginny, get it while you can
She ain't about to start no random plan
Gotta find herself a money, money, handyman
And she won't change, no, she's never gonna change

Oh get it get it
Ginny, Ginny, gonna get it, get it
Ginny, Ginny, gonna get it, get it
Ginny, Ginny, buy myself a handyman
A dandy Mandy handyman
Get it, get it
Ginny, Ginny, gonna get it, get it
Ginny, Ginny, gonna get it, get it
Ginny, Ginny, buy myself a handyman
