1. Tickle Your Fancy(TASTE)
(From ‘Tickle Your Fancy’ album)
With a wink of your eye it’s yours if you try
Shake your hip a little harder
But you know that one thing’s for sure girl
I didn’t want to meet your father
Give it to me
Can’t you see
Give it to me
Set me free
CHORUS:
Were ace fast pace we’re ahead of the race
And we tickle everybody’s fancy
We ‘re neat discreet we’re made of concrete
And we tickle everybody’s fancy
Well I’ve got it together
I’ve got it forever with you girl
But you know that one thing’s for sure girl
You’ll never ever tour with me
C’mon give it to me set me free can’t you see
CHORUS

Lady of Love
03:46
|
|||
She was born to take the kind of love not every man could give her
Then why was I the only one who could please her
She was locked in the cell of the rock and roll widow
Everything she dealt seemed never to end
Fame and fortune was her life
All she did was listen to a tune Lady of love
Lover I must move on she said to me
One day you will find her destiny

Boys will be Boys
03:45

Ted’s in trouble with the law again
Aggie wears boots right up to here
Michael’s seen at the discotheque
The latest dance becomes his career
The streets are naked with cars
The noise is rough and the smell is bad
And you can laugh if you want
But smile when I say
Joey’s putting streaks thru his hair
Kissed the girls and made them cry
While Mick and I have gone out tonight
Two stars a-raging amongst the sky
The street is covered with girls
And just like love they’re ours tonight
So you can hype if you want
But smile when I say
CHORUS
Boys will be boys
Young girls are our toys
Oh they’re blasé
Always in the way
So Tommy’s making it overseas
While Chris still shares a room with two
A tear of blood falls from his eye
To make the grade, well that’s the price
So you think you can tell
Heaven from hell my dear
Well you can lie if you like
But smile when I say
CHORUS
The street is covered with pimps
And like a leech they’ll such you dry
So you can die if you want
But smile when I say
Boys will be boys
We’re sweet, we’re cuddly toys
And we’re blasé
Always in the way.
Boys are boys, boys are boys
Boys are boys, boys are boys
Boys are boys, boys are boys

A Little Romance
03:42
|
|||
Bells and toys and shiny things are the only things
That brings a smile onto your face
Well it seems that times have changed
Your smile it seems to age
Like your need for me
CHORUS 1:
So when you see me don’t stop and tease me
No second chance for us
You don’t see that I don’t need you
CHORUS II:
I don’t need no
You don’t need no
We don’t need no little romance
I don’t’ need you
If I want to
I’ll find more little romance
Don’t make me stay, I’m on my way
You speak only of true friends and names that never end
Of loves that you’ve had
Well now my name is gone
I guess you’ll carry on
Till the next one comes along
CHORUS I
CHORUS II

Same Old Story
03:18
|
|||
Sally said “Ma can I go out tonight?
I’m old enough now it’ll be alright.”
Ma said, “OK but be home by ten,
The night’s no place for a girl so young.”
Ooh, too young
Ah, have fun
Sally said “Hello” to a boy with some wine
His name was Jim they had a good time
Sally starting drinking everything went black
When she came to, she couldn’t look back.
Sally sat alone and she started to cry
Next day Ma noticed a tear in her eye
She said, “sally won’t you go out tonight?”
Sally said, “Too young, it’ll be alright.”

Rebecca
03:27
|
|||
Rebecca, now you’re home to stay
But I’m not sure I want you anyway
You made me cry and that’s a lot to say
Rebecca go away.
Rebecca sure you cooked for me
And made my bed and changed my clothes for me
But did you ever once set me free?
Rebecca can’t you see?
Every single day
I’d hoped you’d come my way
And now you’re home at last
Bringing back the past
Rebecca go away
Rebecca go, go, go, go
Rebecca now you’re going away
And now I’ve said all there is to say
But since you’re here well why don’t you stay
Rebecca’s home again
Rebecca.

Degenerate Fool
04:21
|
|||
Give me whiskey cause I like my booze
I wouldn’t want to be in my old mans shoes
Stuff his football on a Saturday night
Cause I’ve got a girl who treats me right
Degenerate fool – no you’re wrong I’,=m cool
Take advice- not when I’ve got my knife
I hate my dad and I hate my ma
Every night you find me in a different bar
Some nights I sit in the dark and cry
Don’t worry bout me cause Ill get by
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Ma you hardly talked to me
Pa you set me far too free
Now you ever even tried
Put me in the gutter, stand and watch me die
My girl’s still a virgin and I don’t know why
She’s always on guard to everything I try
In the streets and the billiard hall
In a pack I’m strong left alone I’m small

Group E

The show is done
No Time for fun tonight
Don’t escape she’s out for rape tonight
Don’t run all she wants is fun
Listen can’t you see why picks on me
Don’t alarm as she takes your arm with pride
The face is new, she s out to get you from inside
Don’t shake she’s as sly as a snake
In fright its love a t first bite
Bridge:
Come and sit by me she says with a drink in hand
Her hands are wandering thank god she’s a 1 night stand
As she moves she sweats her makeup runs down her face
As she moves she smiles she leaves without a trace of love
Hard rock Hard cock
Back to front don’t be so blunt lady
Her mouth is dry you’ll have to get by
She kisses you, you want to spew
A love is won, a love is lost tonight
Don’t escape cause they’re out for rape tonight
Don’t run all they want is fun
Listen can’t you see
Why pick on me

Teenage Anthem
02:14
|
|||
All join hands and fight for freedom and trust
For numbers bring strength to use if we must
They can’t ignore us if we’re outward and bold
For our weapons are youth, while their answers are old
CHORUS
Don’t give us no old time bullshit
We see thru your act
Try hard but you’ll never break us
Now we’ve formed a pact
Does it amaze you that we’re not what you think?
To follow in your footsteps would turn us to drink
You always answered your questions with a simple ‘because’
That’s maybe how you were, but it’s not how it was
CHORUS
Don’t give us no old time bullshit
We’ve heard it all before
We’ll scream in the streets if we have to
Can’t take it anymore
We’re going out to the streets cause were fighting at home
But we’re not scared now, we’re not on our own
So listen to our terms and hear what we say
Cause the teenage anthem is here to stay

Just as the Water Flows
05:06
|
|||
Just as the water flows, our love it flows for you
Your love refreshes me a grass longs for the dew
You excite me, you excite me more and more
And when the snow falls down and covers near and far
I long to cover you and keep you as you are
You excite me, you excite me more and more.

Witches Brew
03:54
|
|||
You never talk to me
You set me far too free
You’re standing over me
Yet when I called your name
Yu know you never came
You girls you’re all the same
So when I look at you
I think of things to do
You’re just another screw
Yet when I called your name
You know you never came
Yu boys you’re all the same
CHORUS
How dare you, where are you now?
We could have made love if you’d shown me how
How dare you, where are you? I need you know
The witch is on the hill
I’m told she lives there still
I believe she always will
Yet when I called your name
You know you never came
You morons you’re all the same

Main Street
03:43
|
|||
Walking along on that mainstreet
Looking for someone who’ll sing my song
Never really tried, never really cared
But growing up gets a man, a man scared
Living and loving has been my game
Try it now and then, you’ll never feel the same
Had a world ahead of my time
Too much booze, too much girls with no time.

I know you’ll never do
I know that you won’t be true
Then I see you smiling look so sad to me
You are the whole world
You are my only girl
I know you’ll never do
I know that you won’t be true
Then I see you standing look so sad to me
You come from up above
You give me sweet love
Lone rager x 2
Whatcha gonna do?
I know you’ll never do
I know that you won’t be true
Then I see you smiling look so sad to me
You are my only girl
You are my whole world

Rock and Roll Superstar
03:01
|
|||
With your switched on moods and metallic clothes
You’re a gimmick on legs a glittering fool
So glitter on boy eat your heart away
They love you still, perhaps they’ll even stay
Rock and roll superstar
Rock and roll superstar
Rock and roll superstar
Whatcha gonna do when your fans all leave
Rock and roll superstar
You’re getting too old for the pace
Rock and roll superstar
I can see it on your painted face

JOEY: The princes are meeting tonight to decide
The fate of the lives that they hold
KEN: Hold me so tight till there’ll be no more night
And we shall escape by the light of the moon
JOEY: Never let it be said that our king will soon be dead
For I’ll fight any man that so speaks
KEN: Speak words of love, let them come from above
Let me hear what you say with your eyes
CHORUS
Long may your love reign over me
Long may it last for years
Long may love reign over me
Long may it last for years
