HUBCAPS OVER HOLLYWOOD
(Spoken): You are interested in the unknown... the unexplainable... that is why you are here.
Can your heart stand the shocking facts about hubcaps over Hollywood?
Look back in angora to the golden age of screen
I'll show you something like you ain't never seen
You'll think your heart's exploding, you'll think your mind has flipped
When you see Mr Lugosi rising from his crypt
(Chorus)
Hats off to Eddie Wood
They say it's bad but it sure feels good
When there's monsters in your neighbourhood
And hubcaps over Hollywood
The super Swedish Angel is as harmless as a kitchen
So hey Vampira, you'd better stop your bitchin'
You can follow in his footsteps through the ever-changing door
But it sure is hard to find something when you don't know what you're looking for
(Repeat chorus)
Pull the strings!
Rubber octopussy down by the riverside
Atomically mutated by the evil monster's bride
Please make sure the Doctor never shows his face
Can your hearts stand the shocking facts about the plan from outer space?
(Repeat chorus)
Hollywood, Hollywood etc (repeat to fade)

OUT OF MY TINY MIND
I let you drink my beer 'cos I was happy to share
You picked the restaurants and told me what to wear
You chose the shows on TV, I watched without a care
But when you tired of me you washed me out of your hair
And it's only hit me since you left me behind
It really must be true that love is blind
'Cos I must have been out of my tiny mind
I must have been out of my tiny mind
I must have been out of my tiny mind
I must have been out of my tiny mind
I must have missed every single one of the signs
It really must be true that love is blind
I thought I knew about love and the game of life
But now I've had a lesson in trouble and strife
I've started to worry 'bout the size of my brain
My head might be empty but my heart's full of pain
I went along with your rules 'cos I thought you played fair
I was your do-for-now, I thought we were a pair
I was around for you but you were never quite there
And now the thought of it all is more than I can bear
And it's only hit me since you left me behind
It really must be true that love is blind
'Cos I must have been out of my tiny mind
I must have been out of my tiny mind
(You must have been out of your tiny mind)
Yeah, I must have been out of my tiny mind
It's taken me all this time to find
It really must be true that love is blind
'Cos I must have been out of my tiny mind
Out of my tiny mind
Out of my tiny mind
Out of my tiny mind

WILLOW WORLD
I wish I was living in a willow world
I'd be sipping tea with all the pretty geisha girls
I'd be smiling all night long
I'd still be smiling when the night had gone
If I was living in a willow world
Don't you know that I would never kiss and tell
I would be so discrete
A little secret just for me
I'd be so pleased with everything
I'd be so pleased mama-san would hear me sing
Na na na (etc)
Wouldn't it be great to meditate?
To eat chopped sushi off a willow-patterned plate
A little soup and simple rice
How could anything taste so nice
Sitting cross-legged on a tatame mat
In a silk kimono with a Union Jack
A little place where east meets west
Would do for me and you could keep the rest
I'd be so pleased with everyting
I'd be so pleased everybody would hear me sing
Na na na (etc)
For once in my life I could really relax
Get a good massage and a scented bath
Clean my mind and body 'til they're working well
And write some big fat novels like James Clavell
If I was living in a willow world
I'd be sipping tea with all the pretty geisha girls
I'd be smiling all night long
I'd still be smiling when the night had gon
'Cos if I was living in willow world
You know I'd never ever ever ever kiss and tell
I would be so discrete
A little secret just for me
I'd be so pleased with eveything
I'd be so pleased mama-san would hear me sing
And I'd be singing pretty quietly...
Na na na (etc)
And then the band would join in...
Na na na (etc)
And all the neighbours would join in...
Na na na (etc)
I'd like to teach the world to sing...
Na na na (etc)

LOVE, MONEY AND NOISE
I went to school and I spent my time
Waiting for the summer break
Teacher said I'm heading for the factory
Now what you gonna make?
I told him...
(Chorus):
Love, money and noise
Love, money and noise
Now don't you tell me I ain't got no choice
I'm gonna pick up my guitar, I'm gonna rock with the boys
Alright!
Next I went to college
And I spent my money on beer
I didn't learn not one damn thing
Because the future was so clear
I'm gonna make...
(Repeat chorus)
Working for the man eight days a week
My sanity at stake
You can stick your job where the sun don't shine
'Cos all I'm gonna make is...
(Repeat chorus x2)

(SHE'S MY) ALIEN BABY
Well she comes from a planet far away
Green trailer trash from the Milky Way
I sometimes think she'll be the death of me
But then she tells me she loves me by telepathy
(Chorus)
She's my alien baby
She's my alien baby
She's my alien baby
And I'm her Earthling boy
Well she's got two hearts beating twice as fast
And they're filled with love that's gonna last
I long to gaze into her baby blue eyes
There's four in all and they're twice the size
(Repeat chorus)
Well she's got strange lumps all over her face
Only thought of as pretty in outer space
She's a real head turner at three foot tall
And I don't even know if she's a woman at all
(Repeat chorus)
So if you see a weird light moving in the sky
Don't flip out, don't start to cry
'Cos love is going on in the atmosphere
A close encounter with my one so dear
(Repeat chorus x2)

FIRST ACROSS THE LINE
Now don't you close your eyes
'Cos you don't wanna miss a thing
Faster than the speed of light
There goes the Lion King
Moving like a wildcat
That's just about to strike
So if you wanna catch him
You'd better get on your bike
(Chorus)
The Lion and the Devil and the Pirate
Another mountain to climb
The Lion and the Devil and the Pirate
To be first across the line
As hot as a jalapeno
And as cool as a summer breeze
Just like Lucky in '52
The others on their knees
The one they call the Devil
Some say he sold his soul
His home was calling to his heart
Diablo's on a roll
(Repeat chorus)
The Pirate sailed the seven seas
And soared the dizzy heights
Crossed swords with the big boss man
'Cos he knew the he was right
You see I know he was guilty of nothing
Just a victim of their lies
There's blood on their hands for all to see
When every pirate dies
When every pirate dies
(Repeat chorus x2)

THEN I SAW YOU
There's a girl I've been waiting to find
Since I was only thirteen
I knew that she was real
Though I'd only ever seen her in dreams
She's been blazing in my heart like a burning light
Shining like a beacon through my darkest nights
Just out of reach my whole life through
Then I saw you (x2)
There'd been girls that I thought I could love
But they were never the one
There was always something missing
Always something left undone
But she's been blazing in my heart like a burning light
Shining like a beacon through my darkest nights
Just out of reach my whole life through
Then I saw you (x4)
Then I saw you and everything stopped
The beating of my heart as my soul went into shock
Then you saw me and my whole life changed...
There's a girl I've been trying to find
Since I was only thirteen
I knew that she was real
Though I'd only ever seen her in dreams
And she's been blazing in my heart like a burning light
Shining like a beacon through my darkest nights
Just out of reach my whole life through
Blazing in my heart like a burning light
Shining like a beacon through my darkest nights
Just out of reach my whole life through
Then I saw you (x4)

EDDIE AND GENE
C'mon everybody, have you heard the news?
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Every weekend we're having a ball
Teenage heaven at the union hall
Look at little Jeannie, she's sweet sixteen
But she's a-rockin' and a-rollin' with Eddie and Gene
With a pink Thunderbird and a pony tail
That double-talkin' baby's gonna land me in jail
I gotta race with the devil down old Bop Street
'Cos my brand new Cadillac can't be beat
It's slick and black and it's long and lean
And I gotta catch up with Eddie and Gene
C'mon baby, now don't be mean
Stick another dime in the record machine
Don't be a square, be a rock 'n' roll queen
'Cos everybody's rockin' with Eddie and Gene
Be-bop-a-lula, let the Blue Caps roll
I hope I die before I get old
'Cos when I get to heaven, so I've been told
Rock 'n' roll music gonna save my soul
And the greatest show you've ever seen
Is when I get to rockin' with Eddie and Gene
C'mon St. Peter, now don't be mean
Stick another dime in the record machine
Put on your leather and your old blue jeans
'Cos we're still rockin' with Eddie and Gene
C'mon baby, now don't be mean
Stick another dime in the record machine
Don't be a square, be a rock 'n' roll queen
'Cos everybody's rockin' with Eddie and Gene
Eddie and Gene (x4)

MONSTER BEAT
(Spoken): Mmm... beat good!
When the Phantom of the Opera hears a stompin' beat
He feels a funny kind of twitching down in his feet
He starts jumpin' around like a crazy loon
Arm in arm with the Creature from the Black Lagoon
Shouting...
(Chorus)
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme that monster beat
Gimme gimme gimme gimme that monster beat
The Mummy joins in with the wild Wolf Man
Swingin' with the Hunchback of Notre Dame
You ought to see the creation of Frankenstein
Just dancin' with the Ghoul and lookin' so fine
Shouting...
(Repeat chorus)
Well a dose of rockin' rhythm is what they desire
It can even breathe life into that old vampire
It can turn Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde
Or turn you into a zombie if you've only just died
And make you shout...
(Repeat chorus x2)

FOR BELA
Instrumental.
Either that or it's Harpo Marx singing!

OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD
If you weren't on the other side of the world
I could have you by my side
If you weren't on the other side of the world
You could be my blushing bride
It's a long way across the ocean
I've got no money but my heart's in motion
All the way to the other side of the world
If you weren't on the other side of the world
I could tell you how I feel
If you weren't on the other side of the world
You would know this love is real
Long distance loving just ain't the same
My face keeps smiling but my heart's in pain
'Cos I miss you so on the other side of the world
If you weren't on the other side of the world
I wouldn't miss you quite so much
But when you're on the other side of the world
I can look but I can't touch
I look to the stars but I can't see your eyes
'Cos you're living under different skies
But I need you so on the other side of the world
I want you so on the other side of the world
I love you so on the other side of the world

DRINK THE PLACE DRY
I'm goin' down the bar and I'm gonna rock
And I won't get back 'til stupid o'clock
I'm gonna strap on my guitar and treat it real rough
And crank up all the amps until they're loud enough
So c'mon little girl, better get on that phone
Call and tell your mama you'll be really late home
We're goin' down the bar, we're gonna get high
And we're not gonna leave 'til we drink the place dry
(We're not gonna leave 'til we drink the place dry)
I'm goin' down the bar and I'm gonna jive
It's the only way to tell if I'm really alive
I'm gonna strike up them drums in a jungle beat
Then turn up the heat when everyone's on their feet
So c'mon little girl, better get on that phone
Call and tell your mama you'll be very late home
We're goin' down the bar, we're gonna get high
And we're not gonna leave 'til we drink the place dry
(We're not gonna leave 'til we drink the place dry)
I said we're not gonna leave 'til we drink the place dry(x2)
(We're not gonna leave 'til we drink the place dry) (x2)
No!

POISON LETTER FROM LORETTA
It came in the mail today
She seemed to have a lot to say
Poison letter from Loretta
Just as I was starting to feel a whole lot better
It was a shocking thing to read
Something I just did not need
In the letter from Loretta
She wrote "it's been a real ordeal ever since I met ya"
I pulled my knife and opened up the envelope
As I read those words I wondered how the hell I'd cope
Real bad news coming through my letterbox
She's changed her man and she's already changed the locks
I guess I'll never understand
How she can dismiss me out of hand
Poison letter from Loretta
I must have gone a real bad thing to upset her
I'm gonna deal out some pain
To that man who's driving me insane
'Cos Loretta thinks he's better
But he's gonna rue the day that he came to get her
I tried my best but it was not good enough
She said I'm lazy, mean and evil and all that stuff
The ink was black but it sure gave me the blues
Seems that I'm as second class as the stamp she used
I wanna win that woman back
Before I have a heart attack
I'm gonna write to Loretta and take the love I can't conceal
And put it in a letter
See if I cannot steal back my Loretta
And you know what I want...
...to get a love letter from Loretta
To get a love letter from Loretta (repeat to fade with vocal ad-libs)

WEDDING BELLS
When the bride-to-be found out
Where her fiance had been that night
You could see the storm clouds forming
And there was gonna be a fight
He said he hadn't done it
But she knew that he had
You could tell right from that moment
Things would turn out bad
He heard her talking in her sleep
To the lover of her dreams
Whispering sweet nothings
And most of it obscene
He found it quite exciting
And just a harmless game
But it froze him to the marrow
When she called his best friend's name
(Chorus)
They were looking forward to those wedding bells (wedding bells)
They thought it would be heaven
But it turned out to be hell
Kisses and confetti and rice
Ooh, that would have been nice
But if you're gonna play away
You're gonna pay the price
When the priest asked if somebody knew
Why they should not be wed
The congregation formed a queue
There was so much to be said
And the ushers quietly crept away
To the shadows 'round the hall
And they tried to hide 'cos they all knew the bride
When she used to rock 'n' roll
(Repeat chorus)
|
SAME OLD SAME OLD
Don't you give me that same old same old (same old)
'Cos I'm not listening any more
Why are you acting so cold? (same old)
Seems like we've been through all this before
More of that same old same old (same old)
My whole life's just deja vu
I know you just won't be told (same old)
And I know I don't know what to do
It's the same (x4)
What I'd give for a change
It's the same (x5)
Let me try to explain - this is insane
Insane
You always give me that same old same old (same old)
It's that same old story again
I sit and let the plot unfold (same old)
But I don't like the thought of the end
'Cos it's the same old same old (same old)
It's just the same as it's always been
I wanna quit this same old (same old)
But the same old thing just pulls me in
It's the same (x4)
What I'd give for a change
It's the same (x5)
Can I try to explain - this is insane
Listen...
I'm sick and tired of this same old
The only difference is no difference at all
Another helping of same old
Another step back, trip up and fall
That's enough of this same old
Let's get out with some dignity
'Cos it's the same old same old
With the same old you and the same old me
It's the same (x4)
What I'd give for a change
It's the same (x5)
Just let me try to explain - this is insane
Ah, it's just insane
Same old same old (same old) (x2)
Same old same old (x2)
Same (x3)

MISSING LINK
Let's get ready to rumble
Gonna tear the whole place up
The roof is gonna tumble
When the Rayman struts his stuff
Jack the Ripper and the Ace of Spades
They're both gonna get on down
'Cos if you want some rockin' then you've got it made
When the Rumble Man hits town
(Chorus)
I sit back and I start to think
I'll raise my glass and take a long cool drink
'Cos hip, square or evil rat fink
The whole world is missing Link
We'll never see his like again
The shadow knows he's gone
But I think about him now and then
'Cos the legend rumbles on
(Repeat chorus)
|
LET'S ROLL
Let's roll!
Don't you know it's time to go (let's roll)
Let's make haste, no time to waste (let's roll)
Drink your beer, we're all done here (let's roll)
Don't mess about, make inside out (let's roll)
Vacate that seat and move your feet (let's roll)
Tank's full of juice so let's cut loose (let's roll)
I'll make it clear the line is here that we should head on down
I won't relax 'til I hit cruise control
The time has come to jump the gun and quit this town
I hear the wild rover in my soul screaming "let's roll!"
It's been great but now it's late (let's roll)
We did our bit, it's time to split (let's roll)
We'll do no more, we're out that door (let's roll)
I'll make it clear the line is here that we should head on down
I won't relax 'til I've hit cruise control
The time has come to jump the gun and quit this town
We've rocked this place with all our heart and soul
So now let's roll!
Don't you know it's time to go (let's roll)
Let's make haste, no time to waste (let's roll)
Vacate that seat and move your feet
We did our bit, it's time to split
It's been great but now it's late
Let's roll
We've made a racket - now get your jacket!
Let's roll!
