Said, hey
Love can rock you
Never stop you
Ah ah ah ah
Love is like a rock
You can't rely on mother nature
You can't rely on your pay cheque
You can't depend on your doctor, no no
You can't rely on your lawyer
[Chorus]

Love can rock you
Never stop you
Ah ah ah ah
Love is like a rock
Said, hey
Love can rock you

2. THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE
Have you ever been lost in love, when you were seventeen
Have you ever had a dirty thought, an' tried to keep 'em clean
Did you ever have days like these, spend it on the job
Have you ever been lost in love, gone runnin' with the mob … runnin' with the mob
[Chorus]
There are so many reasons, you keep on wantin' more
You're a friend in the bad times, that's what friends are for … woh
Have you ever been lost in love, I never would have guessed
They tell me you're a big boy now, well an' truly blessed
Did she ever go overboard, keep the wolf at bay
Have you ever been lost in love, it happens every day … happens every day
[Chorus]
There are so many reasons, you keep on wantin' more
You're a friend in the bad times, that's what friends are for … yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
There are so many reasons, you keep on wantin' more
You're a friend in the bad times, that's what friends are for
[Chorus]
There are so many reasons, you keep on wantin' more
You're a friend in the bad times, that's what friends are for … woh, yeah
3. STILL THE SAME
Oh we ain't goin' nowhere
We're just looking for somewhere
Whatever pulled us apart
Is still the same
It's still the same
Oh we're all one day older
Your hands are gradually colder
What made me weak at the knees
Is still the same
It's still the same
Oh you ain't been so tender
Your smell ain't how I remember
Although your eau de cologne
Is still the same
It's still the same
Oh I ain't a great romancer
And I ain't got all of the answers
What made me weak at the knees
Is still the same
It's still the same
[Chorus]
Nothing's changed
I'm taking the blame
No nothing has changed
It's still the same
Nothing's changed
Start over again
It's all in the game
It's still the same
It's still the same
Oh I know nothing's changing
I know I need re-arranging
I know I'm taking the blame
it's still the same
It's still the same
Oh I know nothing's changing
I know there's nothing remaining
I know it's all in the game
it's still the same
It's still the same
[Chorus]
Nothing's changed
I'm taking the blame
No nothing has changed
It's still the same
Nothing's changed
Start over again
It's all in the game
It's still the same
It's still the same
Nothing's changed
Start over again
It's all in the game
It's still the same
It's still the same
4. FOOLS GO CRAZY
You [Break] windows when you get mad
You go nowhere with Jack the Lad
You give Verbal to your old man
Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down
You go runnin' when it's your round

Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down
[Chorus]

You're all spaced-out, you're outta space
Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down
[Chorus]
(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …
(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …
(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown

5. YOU BOYZ MAKE BIG NOIZE
Hey, Mister man with a guitar in your hand,
You're a rubber legged looney in a scruff-bag band,
Hey there my man get that piggy off your back,
Well, A decent sort of chap wouldn't talk a load of c-rap.
You with the mouth, your headin' on collision,
Got to try to use your 20-20 vision,
Hey Mister Clean your shirt is white as snow,
Do you want to wreck a record on your DJ show.
[Chorus] Well the wind don't blow, mama don't know
Say you got a lot to say
I know that you big boyz make a big noize
Nobody get in the way.
A wee drop of rocket fuel gets you in the guts,
It's better that the nutter who nuts you in the nuts,
One piece of drastic plastic is a hit,
Then a master ghetto blaster drops you in the head.
[Chorus]
Hello sailor, do you wanna buy it,
It ain't my cup of tea, don't knock it before you try it,
Dirty shirts can smell really mean,
Gleamo washes not only white, not only bright, but clean.
Mister Man, do you really wanna rock it,
Funny money burns a hole in your pocket,
Lady danger lookin' good as ever,
Can't afford her, need the never never.
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Here come the Boyz who make a lot of row,
Mama, Mama, Mama Weer All Crazee Now.
6. SHE'S HEAVY
Oh I don't complain when she squeezes me
Cos she's heavy
And I don't complain when she teases me
Cos she's heavy
Oh I don't complain when she turns up late
Asks me out I don't hesitate
Got a lot more loving with a lot more weight
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
Oh I don't object when she cooks a lot
Cos she's heavy
And I don't object when she calls the shots
And she's ready
She might need to lose just a pound or two
The lady knows how to bill and coo
Got so much more I can hold on to
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
No no no, no more tonight
I can see what you bin saving
No no no, no more tonight
I can see you're misbehaving
When her temper rises she can shake the ground
And she's heavy
And there's plenty there to put your arms around
And she's ready
Her profile leaves you in no doubt
It's hard to handle such a big amount
See her through my eyes it's what's inside that counts
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
And she's heavy
7. WE WON'T GIVE IN

And tries to shoot you down
[Chorus]
I'm never gonna give no I don't give in
I'm never gonna give cos I gotta win

I'm never gonna give cos I gotta win
Never ever gonna take anymore from those

8. WON'T YOU ROCK WITH ME

Don't [Break] my bones, or you're gonna get burnt
Everybody go down, down, down, down, down

9. OOH LA LA IN L.A.
Whiplash in the dead of night
And down on Sunset dynamite
Blinding lights on the Marquee shining bright
There's George on his knees again
On the town with Miss Zimmerman
Alert the media and then my friend
[Chorus]
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band is this
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
Making out every turned on a hit and miss
You see the food and you feel the force
B.L.T. and there ain't no sauce
You get enough to feed a horse that's true
And down at Barney's playing pool
Minnesota Fats is ultra cool
A load of balls make you look a fool then you
[Chorus]
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band is this
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
Making out every turned on a hit and miss
[Break]
Runaway on the radio
A powerplay every hour or so
A never ending red eyed T.V. show
[Chorus]
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band is this
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
Making out every turned on a hit and miss
It's in the dead of night
And it's a dynamite
The blinding lights are shining brighter and brighter
He's on his knees again
Alert the media my friend
[Chorus]
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band is this
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
Making out every turned on a hit and miss
10. ME AND THE BOYS
Me and the boys wanna dance and score
There is a monkey suit across the door
You ain't coming in now with your crazy crowd
Oh no there ain't no jeans allowed
[Chorus]
Yeh hey we're going on the town
Me and the boys are gonna wear you down
Yeh hey we're going on our way
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Down at the Raj and we can all perspire
The Vindaloo kid has got his jeans on fire
Curry and lager are the spice of life
Next day they're gonna give me strife
[Chorus]
Yeh hey we're going on the town
Me and the boys are gonna wear you down
Yeh hey we're going on our way
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K. yeh
[Break]
Me and the boys well we got no doubt
You're never too old to be a gadabout
Can't take em anywhere they cause a ruck
Oh no they never will grow up
[Chorus]
Yeh hey we're going on the town
Me and the boys are gonna wear you down
Yeh hey we're going on our way
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
There in your jeans you know have cost the earth
You ain't coming in its more than my jobs worth
Look at the kid now with his shirt tail out
Oh no you wanna hear them shout
[Chorus]
Yeh hey we're going on the town
Me and the boys are gonna wear you down
Yeh hey we're going on our way
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Sing Shout Knock Yourself Out (Holder/Lea)
Oh, I wanna say it's a terrible shame
Gotta find out why It's gettin' too tame
An' I don't know why your sister don't go
You gotta bring her along to a rockin' good show
'Cos she's a mover … she's a mover
[Chorus]
Gotta sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud
Sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud
Oh, we're gonna play just as loud as you like
An' there's electric comin' over just right
An' with a six-string, drum-beat, a-thunderin' bass
An' a fire down below to put a smile on her face
'Cos she's a mover … she's a mover
[Chorus]
Gotta sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud
Sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud
Oh, ain't you got no home to go to
We'll be playin' all night if we leave it to you
Oh, I'm goin' down slow an' I'm gonna go get her
When she's good she's so good, An' when she's bad she's much better
'Cos she's a mover … an' she's a mover
[Chorus]
Gotta sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud
Sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud
Sing shout knock yourself out … Sing shout knock yourself out
Sing it, shout it, knock yourself out … Sing shout knock yourself out
11. THE ROARING SILENCE
I hear the silence roar, the tiger's silver paw
Can rip you to the bone, I roar in silence alone
There's a never-ending stream, of never-ending dreams
You bring out the gypsy in me, can't you set this tearaway free
I hear the silence roar, we ain't above the law
She moves across a crowd, the roaring silence is loud
There's a never-ending stream, of never-ending dreams
You bring out the savage in me, fancy-free and no guarantee … yeah
There's a never-ending stream, of never-ending dreams
You bring out the gypsy in me, can't you set this tearaway free
The roaring silent sound, take your defences down
All quiet on the western front, the roaring silence is gone
The roaring silence is gone, the roaring silence is gone
12. IT'S HARD HAVING FUN NOWADAYS
Oh there were five ten fifteen men
Bouncing beer bellies and they're dancing round again
Two four six and maybe eight
Rowdy people rocking giving it the G.B.H.
[Chorus]
It's hard having fun nowadays
So we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays
C'mon let me tell ya
There were hard case men about the house
Dreaming of Samantha in a well filled blouse
Black white yellow livewires
Getting on together like a house on fire
[Chorus]
It's hard having fun nowadays
So we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays
Let me tell ya let me tell ya
[Break]
Oh there were
High jinx everybody quit it
Looking all around me like a bomb has hit it
Knock knock anybody there
Piccadilly is a circus and Leicester is a square
[Chorus]
It's hard having fun nowadays
So we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays
Hit it hit it hit it hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
[Chorus]
It's hard having fun nowadays
So we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays
Let me tell ya let me tell ya
[Chorus]
It's hard having fun nowadays
You just gotta find some new ways
It's hard having fun nowadays
It's hard having fun nowadays
So we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays
It's hard having fun nowadays
And we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays

Won't you rock with me
Don't [Break] my bones, 'cos you're gonna play rough
Leave me alone, if you wanna get tough
Everybody go down, down, down, down, down
Everybody go round, round, round, round, round
[Chorus]
All together… Won't you rock with me
Won't you rock with me, oh
All together… Won't you rock with me
Won't you rock with me, oh yeah
… Rock with me
Don't hold your breath, 'cos it's comin' on strong
You're what you eat, gonna grab me along
Everybody go down, down, down, down, down
Everybody go round, round, round, round, round, oh
[Chorus]
All together… Won't you rock with me
Won't you rock with me, oh
All together… Won't you rock with me
Won't you rock with me, yeah
… Rock with me
Won't you rock with me, oh
Won't you, wont you, won't you
Won't you rock with me
9. OOH LA LA IN L.A.
Whiplash in the dead of night
And down on Sunset dynamite
Blinding lights on the Marquee shining bright
There's George on his knees again
On the town with Miss Zimmerman
Alert the media and then my friend
[Chorus]
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band is this
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
Making out every turned on a hit and miss
You see the food and you feel the force
B.L.T. and there ain't no sauce
You get enough to feed a horse that's true
And down at Barney's playing pool
Minnesota Fats is ultra cool
A load of balls make you look a fool then you
[Chorus]
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band is this
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
Making out every turned on a hit and miss
[Break]
Runaway on the radio
A powerplay every hour or so
A never ending red eyed T.V. show
[Chorus]
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band is this
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
Making out every turned on a hit and miss
It's in the dead of night
And it's a dynamite
The blinding lights are shining brighter and brighter
He's on his knees again
Alert the media my friend
[Chorus]
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band is this
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
Making out every turned on a hit and miss
10. ME AND THE BOYS
Me and the boys wanna dance and score
There is a monkey suit across the door
You ain't coming in now with your crazy crowd
Oh no there ain't no jeans allowed
[Chorus]
Yeh hey we're going on the town
Me and the boys are gonna wear you down
Yeh hey we're going on our way
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Down at the Raj and we can all perspire
The Vindaloo kid has got his jeans on fire
Curry and lager are the spice of life
Next day they're gonna give me strife
[Chorus]
Yeh hey we're going on the town
Me and the boys are gonna wear you down
Yeh hey we're going on our way
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K. yeh
[Break]
Me and the boys well we got no doubt
You're never too old to be a gadabout
Can't take em anywhere they cause a ruck
Oh no they never will grow up
[Chorus]
Yeh hey we're going on the town
Me and the boys are gonna wear you down
Yeh hey we're going on our way
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
There in your jeans you know have cost the earth
You ain't coming in its more than my jobs worth
Look at the kid now with his shirt tail out
Oh no you wanna hear them shout
[Chorus]
Yeh hey we're going on the town
Me and the boys are gonna wear you down
Yeh hey we're going on our way
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Me and the boys and we we're doing O.K.
Sing Shout Knock Yourself Out (Holder/Lea)
Oh, I wanna say it's a terrible shame
Gotta find out why It's gettin' too tame
An' I don't know why your sister don't go
You gotta bring her along to a rockin' good show
'Cos she's a mover … she's a mover
[Chorus]
Gotta sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud
Sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud
Oh, we're gonna play just as loud as you like
An' there's electric comin' over just right
An' with a six-string, drum-beat, a-thunderin' bass
An' a fire down below to put a smile on her face
'Cos she's a mover … she's a mover
[Chorus]
Gotta sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud
Sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud
Oh, ain't you got no home to go to
We'll be playin' all night if we leave it to you
Oh, I'm goin' down slow an' I'm gonna go get her
When she's good she's so good, An' when she's bad she's much better
'Cos she's a mover … an' she's a mover
[Chorus]
Gotta sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud
Sing shout knock yourself out
Tell me how to survive by keepin' it loud
Sing shout knock yourself out … Sing shout knock yourself out
Sing it, shout it, knock yourself out … Sing shout knock yourself out
11. THE ROARING SILENCE
I hear the silence roar, the tiger's silver paw
Can rip you to the bone, I roar in silence alone
There's a never-ending stream, of never-ending dreams
You bring out the gypsy in me, can't you set this tearaway free
I hear the silence roar, we ain't above the law
She moves across a crowd, the roaring silence is loud
There's a never-ending stream, of never-ending dreams
You bring out the savage in me, fancy-free and no guarantee … yeah
There's a never-ending stream, of never-ending dreams
You bring out the gypsy in me, can't you set this tearaway free
The roaring silent sound, take your defences down
All quiet on the western front, the roaring silence is gone
The roaring silence is gone, the roaring silence is gone
12. IT'S HARD HAVING FUN NOWADAYS
Oh there were five ten fifteen men
Bouncing beer bellies and they're dancing round again
Two four six and maybe eight
Rowdy people rocking giving it the G.B.H.
[Chorus]
It's hard having fun nowadays
So we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays
C'mon let me tell ya
There were hard case men about the house
Dreaming of Samantha in a well filled blouse
Black white yellow livewires
Getting on together like a house on fire
[Chorus]
It's hard having fun nowadays
So we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays
Let me tell ya let me tell ya
[Break]
Oh there were
High jinx everybody quit it
Looking all around me like a bomb has hit it
Knock knock anybody there
Piccadilly is a circus and Leicester is a square
[Chorus]
It's hard having fun nowadays
So we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays
Hit it hit it hit it hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
[Chorus]
It's hard having fun nowadays
So we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays
Let me tell ya let me tell ya
[Chorus]
It's hard having fun nowadays
You just gotta find some new ways
It's hard having fun nowadays
It's hard having fun nowadays
So we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays
It's hard having fun nowadays
And we just gotta find some new ways
It's so hard having fun nowadays
