Aah, aah
You better beware, you better take care
You better watch out if you've got long black hair
He'll come from behind, you go out of your mind
You'd better not go, you'd never know what you'll find

Aah, aah
You look in his eyes, don't be surprised
If you don't know what's going on behind his disguise
Nobody knows where Buster goes
He'll steal your woman out from under your nose

Does anyone know the way, did we hear someone say
We just haven't got a clue what to do
Does anyone know the way, there's got to be a way
To Block Buster!

The cops are out, they're running about
Don't know if they'll ever be able to Block Buster out
He's gotta be cought, he's gotta be taught
'Cos he's more evil than anyone here ever thought

Does anyone know the way did we hear someone say
We just haven't got a clue - ow!
Does anyone know the way, there's got to be a way
To Block Buster!

Does anyone know the way did we hear someone say
We just haven't got a clue what to do
Does anyone know the way, there's got to be a way
To Block Buster!

Aah, aah, aah, aah
Buster, Buster, to Block Buster!
Buster, Buster, to Block Buster!
Buster, Buster, to Block Buster!...

Are you ready, Steve? Aha! Andy? Yeah! Mick? Ok.
All right, fellas, let's go!

Well, it's been getting so hard
Livin' with the things you do to me
My dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see
I see a man at the back as a matter of fact
His eyes are red as the sun
And a girl in the corner let no one ignore her
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

Oh, yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And the man at the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said boy, I wanna warn ya
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

Oh, I'm reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
Oh, I softly call you over
When you appear there's nothing left of you
Now the man in the back
Is ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's mourner
She could kill you with a wink of her eye

Oh yeah, it was electric, so frantically hectic
And the band started leaving, 'cause they all stopped breathing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And the man at the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said boy, I wanna warn ya
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Blitz
Blitz
Blitz

Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, 'cause they all started grooving
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And the man at the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said boy, I wanna warn ya
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And the man at the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said boy, I wanna warn ya
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

It's, it's a ballroom blitz
It's, it's a ballroom blitz
It's, it's a ballroom blitz
Yeah, it's a ballroom blitz

We want Sweet!
We want Sweet!
We want Sweet!

All over the land the kids have finally started to get the upper hand
They're out on the streets they turn on the heat and soon they could be completely in command
Imagine the sensation of Teenage occupation
At thirteen they'll be learning and at fourteen they'll be burning
But there's something in the air of which we all will be aware
But they don't care! No! No! No! No! So!

Come and join the revolution, get yourself a constitution
And join the revolution now!
And recognise your age, it's a teenage rampage.
Turn another page on the teenage rampage now!

So recognise your age, it's a teenage rampage.
Turn another page on the teenage rampage now (now, now, now...)!

They're getting it on, ain't doing it wrong, and they're gonna do it, it won't be long.
They've gotta be heard, they've got the word they really belong
And now they're coming on strong.
Imagine the formation of teenage legislation
At thirteen they were fooling but at sixteen they'll be ruling
And there's something in the air of which we all will be aware
But they don't care! No! No! No! No! So!

Come and join the revolution, get yourself a constitution
And join the revolution now!
And recognise your age, it's a teenage rampage.
Turn another page on the teenage rampage now!
So recognise your age, it's a teenage rampage.
Turn another page on the teenage rampage now (now, now, now...)!

There's something in the air of which we all will be aware
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so!

Come join the revolution, get yourself a constitution
And join the revolution now!
And recognise your age, it's a teenage rampage.
Turn another page on the teenage rampage now!
So recognise your age, it's a teenage rampage.
Turn another page on the teenage rampage now (now, now, now)!
Recognise your age, it's a teenage rampage now (We Want Sweet!)
And recognise your age, it's a teenage rampage now (now...now...now...now...now...now...now...now...now......)

Where were you in sixty-eight
In sixty-eight Julie was Johnnie's date
Two kids growin' together
Livin' each day as if time was slippin' away
Oh, they were just sixteen
And their love a teenage dream
They passed the time, they crossed the line
The line that ran between
Julie and Johnnie now you've made it

But life goes on, you know it ain't easy
You've just gotta be strong
If you're one of the sixteens
And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy
You know you'll never go wrong
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens

Suzie and Davey got to make the big time
Maybe they can put it all together
In a show that lasts forever
Oh they would walk the strip at nights
And dream they saw their name in lights
On Desolation boulevard
They'll light the faded light
Suzie and Davey you can make it

But life goes on, you know it ain't easy
You've just gotta be strong
If you're one of the sixteens
And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy
You know you'll never go wrong
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens

So where were you in sixty-eight
When Bobby and Billy thought
That sixty eight was out of date
They took the flowers from their hair
And tried to make us all aware
Too bad, too late
So they lived from day to day
And tried to do it all their way
But sixty-eight was sixty-eight
No matter what they say
Bobby and Billy maybe you'll make it one day...

Chinn/Chapman

So your old man went and called you a degenerate bum
And you stood there crackin' on your cinnamon gun
And your Ma was knockin' at your sister's brains
And you couldn't help thinkin' what she hoped to gain
Just then that freak walked in the door
And knocked me to the floor
You said, hey man, you're on some kind of trip
He said, don't give me no lip

Just turn it down, come on turn it down
I can't take no more of that God awful sound
So for God's sake turn it down

Now the suspicious minds of your learned friends
Will eat away at your kind 'til the music ends
And the creep that taught you everything you know
Will hypocritically ask you what the hell you know
He'll go out and mess around, then go home without a sound
You said, hey man, you're some kinda monk
He said, listen here you punk

Just turn it down, come on turn it down
I can't take no more of that God awful sound
So for God's sake turn it down

Turn it down, just turn it down
Come on turn it down, I said turn it down
Come on turn it down, just turn it down
I can't take no more of that God awful sound
So for God's sake turn it down

I... don't wanna know your name
Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before

OK... you think you got a pretty face
But the rest of you is out of place
You looked all right before

Fox on the run
You screamed and everybody comes a-running
Take a run and hide yourself away
Foxy on the run
F-foxy, fox on the run and hideaway

You... you talk about just every band
But the names you drop are second hand
I've heard it all before

I... don't wanna know your name
Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before

F-foxy, fox on the run
You screamed and everybody comes a-running
Take a run and hide yourself away
Foxy on the run
F-foxy, fox on the run and hideaway

Fox on the run
Fox on the run
Fox on the run
Fox on the run...

. . .


So you think you'll take another piece of me
To satisfy your intellectual needs
Do you want action?
Gonna bring you down 'cos you've been pushing me
You've got to recognise my superiority
Liar Liar Liar Liar
You know you believed it
Higher Higher Higher Higher
'Cos I'm the main man

And thats why everybody wants a piece of the action
Everybody needs a main attraction
I've got what everybody needs
Satisfaction guaranteed
Everybody wants a piece of the action

Oh I was suicidal 'cos you was my idol
Baby baby baby bring it to your knees
Well there was a time I would've walked the line
But you bled me dry with your insatiable greed
Liar Liar Liar Liar
You know you believed it
Higher Higher Higher Higher
'Cos I'm the main man

And thats why everybody wants a piece of the action
Everybody needs a main attraction
I've got what everybody needs
Satisfaction guaranteed
Everybody wants a piece of the action

Do you want do you want action?
Everybody wants. Everybody needs.
Everybody wants. Everybody needs.

Everybody wants a piece of the action
Everybody needs a main attraction
I've got what everybody needs
Satisfaction guaranteed
Everybody wants a piece of the action

(Connolly/Priest/Scott/Tucker)
Infinity
Like time without a friend who'll sing the song
If melodie should end you're dead my friend

Lost angels come and take control
Lost angels gotta keep on hold on
Hold on, hold on

Gotta get on back to the life in the street
Gotta get down 'cause I'm dead on my feet
Gotta get back to the love in the street
We're lost angels
Gotta choose the way to rock' n' roll

Insanity
I can feel the knives inside my brain
I stand alone at the threshold of my pain

Lost angels come and take control
Lost angels gotta keep on hold on
Hold on, hold on

Gotta get on back to the life in the street
Gotta get down 'cause I'm dead on my feet
Gotta get back to the love in the street
We're lost angels
Gotta choose the way

I see it now
All my friends inside my life appeared before my eyes
And returning to space to see myself dissapear

Lost angels come and take control
Lost angels gotta keep on hold on
Hold on, hold on

Gotta get on back to the life in the street
Gotta get down 'cause I'm dead on my feet
Gotta get back to the love in the street
We're lost angels
Gotta choose the way
Gotta get on back to the life in the street
Gotta get down 'cause I'm dead on my feet
Gotta get back to the love in the street
We're lost angels...

Ain't nobody gonna take my place
Whips and chains don't leave no trace
Solid gold brass got a plastic face.
Ah...

You break me up ev'ry time you try
To cool me off with a wink in your eye
And I don't eat from a pie in the sky - no more!

I can see.
You ain't foolin' me.
I ain't blind.
The lies in your eyes don't disguise.
The tears that you cry.
I'm not blind.
The lies in your eyes don't disguise.
The lies in your eyes don't disguise.
But the lies in your eyes....

You gotta big fat mouth, watch what you say
'Cause sooner (Sooner!)
you're gonna pay.
Gone tomorrow, here today.

There ain't nobody gonna take my place
Sticks and stones don't leave no trace
And I don't nead your second face.

I can see.
You ain't foolin' me.
I ain't'blind
The lies in your eyes don't disguise.
The tears that you cry.
I'm not blind.
The lies in your eyes don't disguise.
The lies in your eyes don't disguise.
But the lies in your eyes....

I can see...
I can see... (lies in your eyes)
I can see... (lies in your eyes)
I can see... (lies in your eyes)
Eyes...
Eyes...

Don't you know I can see.
You ain't foolin' me.
I ain't blind.
Coz the lies in your eyes don't disguise.
The tears that you cry.
I'm not blind.
The lies in your eyes don't disguise.
The lies in your eyes don't disguise.
But the lies in your eyes....

. . .


You took the apple from the tree
And gave the fruits of love to me
But love is blind I couldn't see
Those neon nights you'd left behind
You should have laid it on the line
Procrastination stole my time
The day has come the years will go by
Things have changed have opened my eyes
And she tried to hide the feeling inside
But you know and you know and you know
The fever of love is like a hundred above
You are the one that turns me on
The fever of love is like a hundred above
I got you under my skin
You are my adrenalin
I've got your love in my veins
It's gonna ease the pain
In my heart, in my heart
Good vibrations came today
God only knows they're gonna stay
But psychic waves can fade away
You are the guardian of my soul
Who'll turn my memories to Gold
I'll still be younger when I'm older
I'm feeling high on pure emotion
I know I could cry an ocean
And I can't hide my feelin' inside
But you know and you know and you know
The fever of love is like a hundred above
You are the one that turns me on
The fever of love is like a hundred above
I got you under my skin
You are my adrenalin
I've got your love in my veins
It's gonna ease the pain
In my heart, in my heart...

. . .


The heroine's a hero
Uprating me to zero
I couldn't hold a candle to you
The hardest part is leaving
This web of love you're weaving
You've shattered my illusions
I've come to the conclusion
You're gonna do a number on me
I'll never get to heaven
With you
There's a stairway to the stars
Yeah, but it's a freeway
Into your arms
There's a stairway to the stars
Yeah, but it's a freeway
Stairway to the stars
Girls in your condition
They ain't in no position
To do the things you're doing to me
You opened like a flower
You filled my head with power
Your boys get avaricious
Feeling pretty vicious
So don't you paint your fingers for me
No, you'll never get to heaven
With me
There's a stairway to the stars
Yeah, but it's a freeway
Into your arms
There's a stairway to the stars
Yeah, but it's a freeway
Stairway to the stars
