SAXON LYRICS

1. Solid Ball Of Rock

[B. Tchaikovsky/M. Broad Bent]

One night in Louisiana down by highway eighty four
You could hear a strange dog howling right outside his mamma's door
The baby was a killer, the cousin was a priest
The baby upped and said, "I play the music of the beast"

The devil in concordia looked down and waved his hand
The boy with jackhawk eyes became the leader of the band
The connoisseur of rhythm, rock 'n' roll and swing
But when it comes to boogie you know that he's the king

Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock crashing out of the sky
It's shaking all over but he don't know why

The devil went to Memphis as he flew into the sun
He howled about redemption with a bible and a gun
The preacher beat his cheast and cried, "set my people free"
The killer said "I'll drag ya to the gates of hell with me"

Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock crashing out of the sky
It's shaking all over but he don't know why

Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock

The killer he was born again and saw gates of hell
The preacher found redemption in a Jacksonville motel
The devil takes the hindmost they're running out of breath
They're gonna have to reckon with the chilling hand of death

Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock crashing out of the sky
It's shaking all over but he don't know why

Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock crashing out of the sky
It's shaking all over but he don't know why

2. Altar Of The Gods

[Carter]

Come from the woods
Out of the hills
Come from the cities
Down from the moors
Make your way down the golden path
To stand free for the temple

Power is the name
To stay on top your reign
Money rules the game
The winner takes the gain

Come smash the old
Come cut the land
Come carve the stone
Come forge the steel
From out of desolation rise
The symbols of your power

Your towers of steel stand proud
Cathedrals of a new age
Let all with greed come worship here
At the altar of the Gods

Power is the name
To stay on top your reign
Money rules the game
The winner takes the gain

Wall street crash
Financial sting
Live for the dollar
Profit the share
The shame of generations past
Reflected in the city

Power is the name
To stay on top your reign
Money rules the game
The winner takes the gain

3. Requiem (We Will Remember)

[Byford/Oliver/Carter/Glockler]

Somewhere in the night a candle burns for you
The eternal flame the light keeps shining on
Your music is immortal it stood the test of time
You're gone but not forgotten, you walk with us

We will remember
They were born to rock 'n' roll
We will remember
Woah-oh

This song's a celebration of what you gave to us
The legacy you left still marches on
But still they play your music all around the world
Blasting through the airwaves to the stars

We will remember
They were born to rock 'n' roll
We will remember
Woah-oh

From London to Chicago
From the mountains to the sea
The legacy you left will never die

We will remember
They were born to rock 'n' roll
We will remember
Woah-oh

We will remember
They were born to rock 'n' roll
We will remember
Woah-oh

From London to Chicago
From the mountains to the sea

We will remember
They were born to rock 'n' roll
We will remember
Woah-oh

[Repeat to end]

4. Lights In The Sky

[Byford/Quinn/Johnson]

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

Silver ships across the sky
Something I have never seen before
Was it true or fantasy
I don't know the answers anymore
All I know is what I saw
Something shooting fast across the sky

Did we see a rocket ship from another star
Shooting through our galaxy coming from afar
But I see your lights shining in the sky
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shining in the sky

Leave your signs across the land
Mysteries, the answers that we seek
Coming from another world
See the circles in the golden wheat
One day soon we'll talk to you
Find out if you come to us in peace

Did we see a rocket ship coming from afar
Shooting through our galaxy from another star
But I see your lights shining in the sky
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shining in the sky

Silver ships across the sky
Something I have never seen before
Was it true or fantasy
I don't know the answers anymore
All I know is what I saw
Something shooting fast across the sky

Did we see a rocket ship coming from afar
Shooting through our galaxy from another star
But I see your lights shining in the sky
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shining in the sky
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I see your lights shining in the sky
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shining in the sky

5. I Just Can't Get Enough

[Byford/Quinn/Johnson]

Take it down easy
Take it down low
Slide it to the bottom
And shake it real slow
You move it to the side
And squeeze it real tight
Is there any wonder
I'm losing my sight

Now get me to a doctor
I gotta get a shot
Cause I just can't get enough of you
I'll do anything that you want me to
I just can't get enough of you, oh no
I just can't get enough of you
I'll do anything that you want me to
I just can't get enough of you tonight, oh no

Gotta swing it to the front
Slide it to the back
Grind it real slow
I like it like that
Now turn it round good
Stroke it down bad
Ya giving me a feeling
That I've never had

Get me to a doctor
I'm runnin' too hot
Cause I just can't get enough of you
I'll do anything that you want me to
I just can't get enough of you, oh no
I just can't get enough of you
I'll do anything that you want me to
I just can't get enough of you tonight, oh no

Let me down easy
Let me down slow
Hold me down tight
And never let go

Get me to a doctor
I got it real bad
Cause I just can't get enough of you
I'll do anything that you want me to
I just can't get enough of you, oh no
I just can't get enough of you
I'll do anything that you want me to
I just can't get enough of you tonight, oh no

6. Baptism Of Fire

[Carter]

Can you hear the thunder rolling
Somewhere in the night
Twenty thousand voices screaming
Blinded by the light
Makes no difference who you are
Or where you're going to
The sound of fury splits the night
Above the chosen few

Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire

Take the eagle from the sky
Ride into the sun
Make a stand the time has come
The tournament's begun
Throw the dice, spin the wheel
Turn the card of fate
The day is coming soon my friend
You don't have to wait

Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
(Baptism of fire)

Can you hear the thunder rolling
Somewhere in the night
Twenty thousand voices screaming
Blinded by the light
Makes no difference who you are
Or where you're going to
The sound of fury splits the night
Above the chosen few

Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire

7. Ain't Gonna Take It

[Byford/Quinn/Oliver/Carter/Glockler]

Bad luck and trouble get out of my way
My lady fortune's comin' to stay
Don't need no bullshit, no Mister Big
Don't need no contract, no papers to read

I don't need trouble
I don't need pain
My lady fortune's coming back again, ya
I ain't gonna take it, take it no more
'Cause when push comes to shove
This can be love
So I ain't gonna take it no more (no more)

Bad luck and trouble get out of my face
Your just a loser get off of my case
Can't steel my thunder, ya can't keep me down
You ain't going nowhere stop messin around

I don't need trouble
I don't need pain
My lady fortune's coming back again, coming back again
I ain't gonna take it, take it no more
'Cause when push comes to shove
This can be love
So I ain't gonna take it no more
'Cause I'm movin' on, movin' on

Bad luck and trouble passin' me by
Your days are numbered it's your turn to cry
No time for losers with nothing to say
Sunshine and blue skies heading my way

I don't need trouble
I don't need pain
My lady fortune's coming back again
I ain't gonna take it, take it no more
'Cause when push comes to shove
This can be love
So I ain't gonna take it no more (no more)

8. I'm On Fire

[Carter]

Ya driving me crazy
You're outta control
Your breaking all the rules
Sneaking out your back door
You're nothing but a wild child
Running 'round town
'Cause if there's a hell
Then I'm going down

Somebody call for emergency
Somebody rescue me
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Somebody rescue me
I'm on fire

My temperature's risin'
A hundred and four
You're looking to hot
I'm standing in a heat wave
Your nothing but a sex show
You're makin' me yearn
You're taking me down, baby
And I'm gonna burn

Somebody call for emergency
Somebody rescue me
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Somebody rescue me
I'm on fire

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Somebody rescue me
I'm on fire

[Repeat to end]

9. Overture In B-Minor / Refugee

[Byford/Carter]

Cry for the children
Sons and daughters left behind
They walk alone down the trail of tears
Full of heartache, full of fears

Stand with open arms
Waiting for the fall
But who'll be there to help ya
When your back's against the wall

You'll be sailing home before the storm
Through the night into the dawn
On the wind I hear your voice calling
Sailing home before the storm

Why, cried the people
Give me shelter from the storm
They take the road across the bridge of sighs
No more heartache, the other side

Ya stand with open arms
Ya scream into the night
But who'll be there beside ya
Can you see the end in sight

You'll be sailing home before the storm
Through the night into the dawn
On the wind I hear your voice calling
Sailing home before the storm

Sailing home before the storm
Through the night into the dawn
On the wind I hear your voice calling...

Sailing home before the storm
Through the night into the dawn
On the wind I hear your voice calling
Sailing home before the storm

Sailing home before the storm
Through the night into the dawn
On the wind I hear your voice calling
Sailing home before the storm

10. Bavarian Rhapsody

11. Crash Drive

[Carter]

I just got the news you're back in town
You're looking for a good time
You're still going down
You're a little too crazy
You ain't gonna last
You're candle's lit at both ends
You're burning too fast

You're going down out of control
You're on a crash drive, baby
(Yeah)

You're talking too much
You've run out of time
You're walking on the limit
You're way out of line
It's a little too easy
To get what ya will
Ya running with the wolf, baby
Ya there for the kill

You're going down out of control
You're on a crash drive, baby
(Yeah)

I just got the news you're back in town
You're looking for a good time
You're still hangin' 'round

You're going down out of control
You're on a crash drive, baby
Crash drive, baby
(Yeah)
