1.Don't Tell Me You Love Me

Lyrics:Jack Blades
Music:Jack Blades

It ain't the way you move
It ain't the way that you move me
Oh no
It ain't the way you shake
It ain't the way that you shake me
Oh no
I've lived 25 years
I'm a kid on the run
I got a pistol for action

Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me
I don't want to know

Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me
I don't want to know

I love the way you use
I love the way that you use me
Oh yeah
I love the way you shoot
I love the way that you shoot to kill me
Oh yeah
It's taken miles of lines
To learn the right from the wrong
I'll keep you hangin on

Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me
I don't want to know

Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me
I don't want to know


2.Sing Me Away

Lyrics:Kelly Keagy/Jack Blades
Music:Kelly Keagy/Jack Blades

Sometimes I sit and I dream on for hours
Sometimes my hours they turn into days
I dream of a girl I once knew as a schoolboy
She is the one who could sing me away
But she is a long ways away
And I want to be with her today
I'll think of a way I can get back
Oh I'd run all the way back home

Sing me away
Sing me away
Sing me away
Sing me away

What do you see when you look in the mirror
I see a face from the past it's so clear
What do you hear when I sing you forever
A song that will last for a million years
But I am a long ways away
I want to be with you today
Think of a way I can get back
Oh I'll run all the way back home

Sing me away
Sing me away
Sing me away
Sing me away


3.Night Ranger

Lyrics:Jack Blades
Music:Jack Blades

In the cool city
In the heat of the night
Looking for adventure
On the face of the light

A Colorado school boy
Put his days on the line
Nights out of paperback
'Catcher In The Rye'

Night ranger
Where you gonna run to now
Night ranger (ranger)

He met her at a rock show
Skin tight jeans
Heavy metal leather
Hanging from her seams

He took her to a late night
She put her heart on the line
Left her standing in the doorway
Singing 'Thanks for the good time'

Night ranger
Where you gonna run to now
Night ranger (ranger)

Night ranger
Where you gonna run to now
Night ranger (ranger)

I can hear you calling calling
I can hear you calling
Night ranger

I can see you falling falling
I can see you falling
Night ranger
Where you gonna run to now
Night ranger

In the hot city
On a cool summer night
Four letter words
Make it alright
A Colorado school boy
Put it all on the line
Under the street lights
Having a good time...
Night ranger...
Night ranger...
Night ranger...
Night ranger...

I can hear you calling calling
I can hear you calling
Night ranger

I can see you falling falling
I can see you falling
Night ranger
Where you gonna run to now
Night ranger


4.You Can Still ... Rock In America

Lyrics:Jack Blades/Brad Gillis
Music:Jack Blades/Brad Gillis

Little Sister by the record machine
A tiny dancer such a sweet sixteen
She's goin' out she's gonna party tonight
She's gonna shake and make it last all night

Little brother's got a drivin' machine
A fast driver such a clean machine
They're going out they're gonna put out the lights
They gonna rock it rock it rock it

You can still rock in America
Ah yeah s'alright
You can still rock in America
Ah yeah all night
You can still rock in America

Little sister makes a move for the door
The door squeaks she's on the second floor
Her daddy wakes 'Is everything OK?'
Not a sound as she makes her getaway

Little brother's got it ready to roll
Tires burning as they head for the show
Light it up and turn the music up loud
And Rock it rock it rock it

You can still rock in America
Ah yeah s'alright
You can still rock in America
Ah yeah all night
You can still rock in America

Rock In America (you can still)
Rock In America (rock in America)
Rock In America (Yeah you can still)
Rock In America

Ah yeah s'alright
You can still rock in America
Ah yeah all night
You can still rock in America
You can still rock in America
Well you can still rock in America

Sister Christian
Oh the time has come
And you know
That you're the only one to say

You know those boys
Don't want to play no more

6.When You Close Your Eyes

Written:Jack Blades/Alan Fitzgerald/Brad Gillis

What do you do
When it's falling apart
And you knew it was gone
From the very start
Do you close your eyes
And dream about me

A girl in love
With a gleam in your eye
I was a younger boy
All dressed in white
We're older now
I bet you still think about me

I remember
We learned about love
In the back of a Chevrolet
Well it felt so good to be young
It feels like yesterday

When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
Do you still dream about me

I guess I don't know
What I'm thinking
Coming off
A hard night of drinking
Angie come closer to me
I need a soul to bleed on

It coulda been done
In a different kinda way
But that ain't you
You play tough when you play
It's over now
I bet you still think about me

I remember
I held you so tight
And we danced the night away
With the moves
Of two wide eyed kids
I need you so much today

When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me

I remember
We learned about love
In the back of a Chevrolet
No good for an old memory
To mean so much today

When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me

When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you go to sleep at night
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your big brown eyes
Do you dream about me


7.Rumours In The Air

Lyrics:Jack Blades
Music:Jack Blades

Used to call me
By my first name
Now you never even call me at all
Used to say
I was your only flame
It was so simple
I believed it all

Now I hear
You've got a new friend and lover
Who keeps you warm
On the cool cool nights
There's a rumor in the air
Don't seem right

Rumours in the air
Like a thief in the night
Taking more than their share
Taking more than their right
Rumors in the air
Like a thief in the night
Rumours
Rumors in the air

Used to call me
When you felt the pain
Now you never even feel it at all
Used to swear
That we would never change
And like a fool
I believed it all

Now you say
You had a weekend of trouble
As you stare me down
With those cool cool eyes
There's a rumor in the air
Don't seem right

Rumours in the air
Like a thief in the night
Taking more than their share
Taking more than their right
Rumors in the air
Like a thief in the night
Rumours Rumours
Rumors in the air

Used to call me
By my first name
Now you never even call me at all
Now you say
That I'm the one to blame
Doesn't matter
How I feel at all

Well I hear
You've got a new friend and lover
You'll take him down
It's so plain to see
Well there's a rumor in the air
Killing me

Rumours in the air
Like a thief in the night
Taking more than their share
Taking more than their right
Rumors in the air
Like a thief in the night
Rumours Rumours
Rumors in the air

Rumors in the air
Rumors in the air
Rumors in the air

Rumors
Rumors
Rumors
Rumors in the air


8.Sentimental Street

Lyrics:Jack Blades
Music:Jack Blades

Saw you walking out on Sentimental Street
What ha doing out there
Who you trying to be
I know what you e thinking
ause I e been there myself
I e been kicked so many times
I don know nothing else
Still I noticed your urgency
And recognized the flair
That ya got from chasing
All those East coast dares
And I e seen it before
It happens time and again
All cut up inside
Yet you e caught in a spin

Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Take a good hard look
There ain nothing ever new
Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Will you ever find out
Guess I l leave it up to you

Saw you dancing out at Madame Wong Two
You did them same two steps
That I taught you back in June
Heard you dined last night
At Conte Razor Cafe
Did you get your fill
Did you think ya had to pay
Still I noticed your urgency
And recognized the pain
And I sure it the same
You feel again and again
And I wish I could get us
That second chance
But you e having too much fun
With your sudden romance

Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Take a good hard look
There ain nothing ever new
Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Will you ever find us
Guess I l leave it up to you

Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Take a good hard look
There ain nothing ever new
Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Will you ever find us
Guess I l leave it up to you

Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Oh, take a good hard look
There ain nothing ever new
Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Will you ever find us
Guess I l leave it up to you
Saw you walking out on Sentimental Street
What ha doing out there
Who you trying to be
Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
WIll you ever find us
Guess I l leave it up to you


9.Four in the Morning

Lyrics:Jack Blades
Music:Jack Blades

Four in the morning
Came without a warning
Everybody got a place to be
I got holes in my conscience
Shot with a vengeance
I must have been a fool not to see

I need you bad
It hard to live without your company
I need you bad, so bad
I can take it you see
Oh, I...

Can take anymore
I can fake anymore
It such a hard time loving you
I can take anymore
I can fake anymore
It such a hard time loving you

There was a time when I knew you
I held my body to you
Made you feel like you never felt before
And now it all in the distance
Still you keep resisting
I love you like never before

Oh, I need you bad
It hard to live without your tender touch
I need you bad, so bad
I guess you e playing me tough
Oh, I...

Can take anymore
I can fake anymore
It such a hard time loving you
I can take anymore
I can fake anymore
It such a hard time loving you

I guess I was going
In the wrong direction
I guess I was thrown for a while
I need to see you smile
I need you so, yeah

I must have been going
In the wrong direction
I guess I was thrown for a while

I need you bad
It hard to live without your company
I need you bad, so bad
I can take it you see
I need you bad
It hard to live without your tender touch
I need you bad, so bad
I only taking so much
Oh, I...

Can take anymore
I can fake anymore
It such a hard time loving you
I can take anymore
I can fake anymore
It such a hard time loving you


10.Goodbye

Lyrics:Jeff Watson/Jack Blades
Music:Jeff Watson/Jack Blades

As the sun hides its head
Another nights rest
And the wind sings
Its same old song

And you on the edge
Never close, never far
Always there when I needed a friend

But it hard living life
On this memory-go-round
Always up, always down
Spinning ound and ound and ound

And all this could be
Such a dream, so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye

There once was a time
Never far from my mind
On the beach, on the 4th of July

I remember the sand
How you held out your hand
And we touched for what seemed a lifetime

But it hard
Leaving all this behind me now
Like a schoolboy so lost
Never found until now

And all this could be
Such a dream, so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye

And it hard
Living life on this memory-go round
Always up, always down
Spinning ound and ound and ound

And all this could be
Such a dream, so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye

And all this could be
Such a dream, so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye

Goodbye
Goodbye


11.The Secret Of My Success

Written:J.Blades/D.Foster/T.Keane/M.Landau

Think of it, I, hold the world in the palm of my hand
Run a comb through my hair, head on out for some new foreign
land
And all this could seem like a dream out the door
With everyday people, face down on the floor

I always said I could make it and be who I am
There's a new look in sight, what a change for the new modern
man
With all this it seems, like I'm dying for more
The streets are on fire, never seen it before
It's like the sound of electric guitars

CHORUS
Worlds collide and hearts will be broken
Over and over it's the same every day-
How can I say what has never concerned me
The secret of my success is I'm living 25 hours a day

It's amazing to me, what a fool will believe to bet by
With a change of your mind, I can live, I can fly
The harder the come, the harder they fall
I never say maybe and I go for it all
Just like the sound of electric guitars

BRIDGE

CHORUS

SOLO

With nothing to show, just sweat form my soul
My heart's on the line and I'm dying to go (dying to go)
Look at us now, gonna make it somehow
Hold on to me baby, can't hold me down

CHORUS

The secret of my success is I'm living 25 hours a day
25 hours a day


12.I Did It For Love(Live)

Lyrics:Russel Ballard
Music:Russel Ballard

Every night that I held you
Made heaven from hell, yea
I did it for love

Like the change of the season
You grew cold for that reason
I did it for love

And when it all went wrong
And there's no use hanging on
I turned and walked away

I did it
I did it
I did it for love
Now you wanna know
Why I let you go
I did it for love

Well, I thought that I was tough
Well, I guess I'm not tough enough
I didn't do it for the glory
I did it for love

When you were lost in the night
And you feared for your life
I came running to you

And as I held you so tight
You said forever you and I
But girl, I knew

And now you stand and you say
How could I walk away
I love you too much to stay

I did it
I did it
I did it for love
Now you wanna know
Why I let you go
I did it for love

Well, I thought that I was tough
Well, I guess I ain't tough enough
I didn't do it for the glory
To be the star of the story
I did it for love

Oh, I remember how it started
And we felt so alive
And the passion was burning inside
There's a lesson in love
When the heart grows wild

Well, I thought that I was tough
Well, I guess I ain't tough enough

I did it for love
Oh, Oh

I did it
I did it
I did it for love
Now you wanna know
Why I let you go
I did it for love

Oh, I did it
I did it
I did it for love
Now you wanna know
Why I let you go
I did it for love
I did it for love


13.Touch of Madness(Live)

Lyrics:Jack Blades
Music:Jack Blades

She wakes in the morning
Got a smile on her face
She's not sentimental
About her night's embrace
Another lucky day
Lucky night on the town
Man she got the touch
I say she wears the crown
She say
'I get high when I want to
Don't ya think you need it too'

I need a touch
I need a touch of madness
I need a touch
I need a touch of madness

She changes by night
It's a crime in the street
She dazzles the boys
As she moves though the heat
Set out all alone
On a hot summer night
Man she got the touch
She makes you sweat all night
She say
'I get wild when I want to
Madness is the thing to do'

I need a touch
I need a touch of madness
I need a touch
I need a touch of madness
I need a touch
I need a touch of madness

I wake in the morning
With a smile on my face
Never sentimental
About my night's embrace
Another lucky day
Lucky night on the town
Now I got the touch
Now I make the rounds
I say
'I get off when I want to
Don't you want to feel it too'

I need a touch
I need a touch of madness
I need a touch
I need a touch of madness
I need a touch
I need a touch of madness

Little Sister by the record machine

She's gonna shake and make it last all night

Her daddy wakes 'Is everything OK?'
Not a sound as she makes her getaway
