Locked up in the classroom waiting for the fight
Down to the schoolyard knocking the gate Into the alley meet up with the boys Waiting for the weekend to make a little noise Thunder is strong, lightning is death Kicking the girls and it's starting to blast Sweeter than the heavens and the fate means stumble But it's Saturday night when heavy rock was born Chorus: Like thunder and lightning god damn, it's so exciting It hits you like a hammer god damn It was Saturday night I was ready for the dance My girl walked in holding another guys hand He stood six foot six he looked two miles wide I was taking it easy till he took her outside I was madder than hell and fit to burn This guy would break a leg before but now he's got to run Standing in the corner giving him a thrill You can keep your lover honey, but he's got to pay the bill Well the place started rocking it was Saturday night I was dressed to kill I was feeling alright Alright in the middle of the night I wasn't ready for a rumble but the mood was right When he got up to leave I stood in his way I said love that's the price you have to pay In the doorway up against the wall When they play a heavy record then I'm gonna have a ball We started to rumble and stumble It is we were rocking and rolling and rolling and tumbling I fumbled and started to win When the greater than wicked then I hit him again I hit him again and I couldn't hit him anymore My head was all black and blue and my jaw was sore Sweeter than the heavens and like a frightening stumble It was Saturday night when heavy rock was born |

There is a demon among us Who soul belongs in hell Sent here to redeem us She knows it all too well He comes and goes, he comes and goes She knows it all too well But when all is said and done The sun goes down She tries her best to leave him But she is still capture by his spell She knows now she must deceive him He knows it all to well She comes and goes, she comes and goes He knows it all too well But when all is said and done The sun goes down There is a demon within us The sun goes down She tries her best to deceive him The sun goes down |

Oh my god
There's millions of them! I've seen a fire start in Frisco The day that the earth quaked I've seen buildings a-blazing Throwing up in flames I heard men, women and children Crying out to their God for mercy But their God didn't listen So they were burned alive They went down, down, deep underground In the great disaster I was hanging out in Berlin In the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty nine I've seen Hitler's storm troopers March right across the Maginot Line I've seen two world wars I've seen men send rockets out into space I foresee a holocaust An angel of death descending to destroy the human race Down, down, deep undergound A great disaster In the sixteenth century there was a French philosopher By the name of Nostradamus Who prophesised that in the late twentieth century An angel of death shall waste this land A holocaust the likes of which This planet had never seen Now, I ask you Do you believe this to be true? I was standing by the bedside The night that my father died He was crying out in pain To his God he said, "Have mercy, mercy!" His body was riddled with a disease Unknown to man so he expected no cure But before he died that night He was lost, insane He went down, down, deep underground A great disaster You'll go down, down, deep underground A great disaster I think they've got now! Angel of Death (Lynott, Wharton) [Lorelei version] -------------- I was hanging round in Frisco In the year of one hundred and nineteen six When I heard about the earthquake The world trembled from within I saw the fire ragin Through all that time I heard people dying They went down, down, deep underground In the great disaster I was hanging out in Berline In the year one hundred nineteen and thirty nine I've seen Hitler's storm troopers March right across the Maginot line I've seen men run away crying "Gas!" Right in front of their throats I wouldn't think that I was squeezing They went down, down, deep underground a great disaster I was standing at the bedside That night my father died I could see him crying for mercy A disease had got his body I was afraid then As I am now The Lord did not hear him He went anyhow He went down, down, deep underground It was a disaster I will go down, down, underground To meet my master Down, down |

Guess who just got back today,
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away, Haven't changed, had much to say, But man, I still think them cats are crazy. They were askin' if you were around, How you was, where you could be found. Told them you were livin' downtown, Drivin' all the old men crazy. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. You know that chick that used to dance a lot, Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got. Man, when I tell ya she was cool, she was red hot. And that time over at Johnny's place, Well, this chick, she got up and slapped Johnny's face, Man, we just fell about the place, If that chick don't wanna know, forget her. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. Friday night they'll be dressed to kill, Down at Deano's bar and grill The drink will flow, and blood will spill, And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em. That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song, The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long, Won't be long 'til summer comes, Now that the boys are here again. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. Transcribed by Rich Kulawiec, rsk@ecn.purdue.edu. |

Down from the glen came the marching men
With their shields and their swords To fight the fight they believed to be right Overthrow the overlords To the town where there was plenty They brought plunder, swords and flame When they left the town was empty Children would never play again From their graves I heard the fallen Above the battle cry By that bridge near the border There were many more to die Then onward over the mountain And outward towards the sea They had come to claim the Emerald Without it they could not leave |

When the kings and queens would dance in the realm of the Black Rose Play me the melodies I want to know So I can teach my children, oh Pray tell me the story of young Cuchulainn How his eyes were dark his expression sullen And how he'd fight and always won And how they cried when he was fallen Oh tell me the story of the Queen of this land And how her sons died at her own hand And how fools obey commands Oh tell me the legends of long ago Where the mountains of Mourne come down to the sea Will she no come back to me Will she no come back to me Oh Shenandoah I hear you calling Far away you rolling river Roll down the mountain side On down on down go lassie go Oh Tell me the legends of long ago When the kings and queens would dance in the realms of the Black Rose Play me the melodies so I might know So I can tell my children, oh My Roisin Dubh is my one and only true love It was a joy that Joyce brought to me While William Butler waits And Oscar, he's going Wilde Ah sure, Brendan where have you Behan?

I am your main man if you're looking for trouble I'll take no lip 'cause no ones tougher than me If I kicked your face you'd soon be seeing double Hey little girl, keep your hands off me 'cause I'm a rocker I love to rock and roll I get my records from the Rock On stall Sweet rock and roll Teddy boy, he's got them all Down at the juke joint me and the boys were stompin' Bippin' an a boppin', telling a dirty joke or two In walked this chick and I knew she was up to something I kissed her right there out of the blue I said "Hey baby, meet me I'm a tough guy" Got my cycle outside, you wanna try? She just looked at me and rolled them big eyes And said "Ooh I'd do anything for you 'cause you're a rocker" That's right I'm a rocker I love to rock and roll I get my records from the Rock On stall Sweet rock and roll Teddy boy, he's got them all |

Oh my god
There's millions of them! I've seen a fire start in Frisco The day that the earth quaked I've seen buildings a-blazing Throwing up in flames I heard men, women and children Crying out to their God for mercy But their God didn't listen So they were burned alive They went down, down, deep underground In the great disaster I was hanging out in Berlin In the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty nine I've seen Hitler's storm troopers March right across the Maginot Line I've seen two world wars I've seen men send rockets out into space I foresee a holocaust An angel of death descending to destroy the human race Down, down, deep undergound A great disaster In the sixteenth century there was a French philosopher By the name of Nostradamus Who prophesised that in the late twentieth century An angel of death shall waste this land A holocaust the likes of which This planet had never seen Now, I ask you Do you believe this to be true? I was standing by the bedside The night that my father died He was crying out in pain To his God he said, "Have mercy, mercy!" His body was riddled with a disease Unknown to man so he expected no cure But before he died that night He was lost, insane He went down, down, deep underground A great disaster You'll go down, down, deep underground A great disaster I think they've got now! Angel of Death (Lynott, Wharton) [Lorelei version] -------------- I was hanging round in Frisco In the year of one hundred and nineteen six When I heard about the earthquake The world trembled from within I saw the fire ragin Through all that time I heard people dying They went down, down, deep underground In the great disaster I was hanging out in Berline In the year one hundred nineteen and thirty nine I've seen Hitler's storm troopers March right across the Maginot line I've seen men run away crying "Gas!" Right in front of their throats I wouldn't think that I was squeezing They went down, down, deep underground a great disaster I was standing at the bedside That night my father died I could see him crying for mercy A disease had got his body I was afraid then As I am now The Lord did not hear him He went anyhow He went down, down, deep underground It was a disaster I will go down, down, underground To meet my master Down, down |

Listen while i tell you Why he loves you And what he misses mostly It's pointless his pretending He's got a broken heart A broken heart That needs mending You didn't tell him You didn't want to see him again He's going crazy He's reckless Without you baby He's helpless It's deadly how you broke him He's a fool Without you baby I'm not joking You didn't tell him You didn't want to see him again Now when i'm down My friends they come around And when i'm upset My friends they help me forget But how can he forget? He hasn't got a friend 'cos no one told him You didn't want to see him again He's all washed up and washed out Without you baby Every place he goes He's thrown out He's turned vicious He's malicious Just goes to show how much he misses You know what He wouldn't tell me You didn't want to see him again You didn't tell him You didn't want to see him again I couldn't tell him You didn't want to see him again I didn't tell him You didn't want to see him again |

The man finds himself alone for the first time in his life
He's always got a problem, he's got to work it out wrong or right He's got to work it out, he's so lonely in the night He's got to work it all alone Now who in the world would believe that he's got another trick up his sleeve And who in the world wants to know which way should he go Which way should he turn? which way should he learn? Which day should he stop? which way to the top? I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then I still can recall when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all This living on his own has turned his heart to stone and it's all pain He sits out on his own and eats his heart out alone in the pouring rain Now who in the world would have know That just a few years ago his love could have grown and grown Through the rain, the sleet and snow But the rain, the sleet and snow chills the heart and kills the soul So the let the cold winds blow What he doesn't see he doesn't know I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all I remember it still, i always will when we were friends way back thenI recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all He said, "watch out for the danger" He said, "watch out" The man is a winner for the first time in his life He looks a little thinner but he says "hey that doesn't matter" But if you look closely You'll see a cold smug self-satisfactory smile behind And now that he has won it doesn't matter how or which way it was done Now that he's in control, revenge is |

a STARRY night,the CAMPFIRE light The coyote call, and the howling winds wail So I'll ride out to the old sundown I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female The nights we spent together riding on the RANGE Looking back it seems so strange Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo I was took in Texas I did not know her name Lord, all these southern girls seem the same Down below the border in a town in Mexico I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Running free with the buffalo Here I go Roll me over and I'll turn around And I'll move my fingers up and down Up and down It's ok amigos Just let me go Riding in the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till i hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo Roll me over and set me free The cowboy's life is the life for me |

Guess who just got back today,
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away, Haven't changed, had much to say, But man, I still think them cats are crazy. They were askin' if you were around, How you was, where you could be found. Told them you were livin' downtown, Drivin' all the old men crazy. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. You know that chick that used to dance a lot, Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got. Man, when I tell ya she was cool, she was red hot. And that time over at Johnny's place, Well, this chick, she got up and slapped Johnny's face, Man, we just fell about the place, If that chick don't wanna know, forget her. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. Friday night they'll be dressed to kill, Down at Deano's bar and grill The drink will flow, and blood will spill, And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em. That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song, The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long, Won't be long 'til summer comes, Now that the boys are here again. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. Transcribed by Rich Kulawiec, rsk@ecn.purdue.edu. |

When the kings and queens would dance in the realm of the Black Rose Play me the melodies I want to know So I can teach my children, oh Pray tell me the story of young Cuchulainn How his eyes were dark his expression sullen And how he'd fight and always won And how they cried when he was fallen Oh tell me the story of the Queen of this land And how her sons died at her own hand And how fools obey commands Oh tell me the legends of long ago Where the mountains of Mourne come down to the sea Will she no come back to me Will she no come back to me Oh Shenandoah I hear you calling Far away you rolling river Roll down the mountain side On down on down go lassie go Oh Tell me the legends of long ago When the kings and queens would dance in the realms of the Black Rose Play me the melodies so I might know So I can tell my children, oh My Roisin Dubh is my one and only true love It was a joy that Joyce brought to me While William Butler waits And Oscar, he's going Wilde Ah sure, Brendan where have you Behan? Looking for a girl with green eyes My dark Rosaleen is my only colleen That Georgie knows Best But Van is the man Starvation once again Drinking whiskey in the jar-o Synge's Playboy of the Western World As Shaw, Sean I was born and reared there Where the Mountains of Mourne come down to the sea Is such a long, long way from Tipperary |

Hey you, you've got it made Hey you, you've got it made Hey you, you've got it made Hey you, you've got it made Hey you, you've got it made Forget all these backslappers Hey you, you've got it made You don't stand a chance Why don't you go home? Hey you, you've got it made Go right back to where you come from Hey you, you've got it made Hey you, you've got it made Don't get involved in this masquerade This big city is going to eat you up Hey you, you've got it made Hey you, you've got it made Hey you, you've got it made All the backslapping Hey you, you've got it made |

It's a tedious existence laying your love on the line
Resistance is useless she can leave at any time I must confess that in my quest I felt depressed and restless But this Casanova's roving days are over more or less With love She broke my heart and made me sad You foolish boy you lost what you had My Mademoiselle I must make my farewell You see Senor I know she don't want me no more I'd like to make that Fraulein mine, mein Fraulein So I'll depart sweetheart and leave you with this line With love She says she won't be back no more With love She says she's leaving for sure My Mademoiselle I'll say farewell No matter where you are, Au Revoir 'Til we meet again, Auf Wiedersehn She wrote it on a letter But it didn't make him feel any better With love She says goodbye, adios, farewell There are those who will spend a lifetime of leisure 'Til the leisure finally takes control And they'll spend their life in search of pleasure Never knowing the treasure that they own There are those who will spend a lifetime in hard labour 'Til the labour breaks both body and soul And they will learn to love their neighbor And be assured of what they own |

Tell me the legends of long ago
When the kings and queens would dance in the realm of the Black Rose Play me the melodies I want to know So I can teach my children, oh Pray tell me the story of young Cuchulainn How his eyes were dark his expression sullen And how he'd fight and always won And how they cried when he was fallen Oh tell me the story of the Queen of this land And how her sons died at her own hand And how fools obey commands Oh tell me the legends of long ago Where the mountains of Mourne come down to the sea Will she no come back to me Will she no come back to me Oh Shenandoah I hear you calling Far away you rolling river Roll down the mountain side On down on down go lassie go Oh Tell me the legends of long ago When the kings and queens would dance in the realms of the Black Rose Play me the melodies so I might know So I can tell my children, oh My Roisin Dubh is my one and only true love It was a joy that Joyce brought to me While William Butler waits And Oscar, he's going Wilde Ah sure, Brendan where have you Behan? Looking for a girl with green eyes My dark Rosaleen is my only colleen That Georgie knows Best But Van is the man Starvation once again Drinking whiskey in the jar-o Synge's Playboy of the Western World As Shaw, Sean I was born and reared there Where the Mountains of Mourne come down to the sea Is such a long, long way from Tipperary |
