GOES TO HELL
1976



GO TO HELL

For criminal acts and violence on the stage
For being a brat, refusing to act your age
For all the decent citizens you've enraged
You can go to Hell
For gambling and drinking alcohol constantly
For making us doubt our parents' authority
For choosing to be a living obscenity
You can go to Hell
You're something that never should have happened
You even make your Grandma sick
You'd poison a blind man's dog and steal his cane
You'd gift wrap a leper and mail him to your Aunt Jane
You'd even force-feed a diabetic a candy cane
You can go to Hell
You're something that never should have happened
You even make your Grandma sick
For criminal acts and violence on the stage
For being a brat, refusing to act your age
For all the decent citizens you've enraged
You can go to Hell



YOU GOTTA DANCE

We like to throw our bodies around
Ooh, we like to feel each other
We're all slaves when we hear that sound
Says dance
Says dance
Says ya gotta dance
Says dance
And there ain't no two ways about it
We're all compelled to rise and thrust
When we all move together
We're all hypnotized with savage lust
Says dance
Says dance
Says ya gotta dance
Says dance
I'm so hot it makes me shiver
Makes me wet
Makes me slide
It's some spirit I'm possessed by
I can't stop
We just got to
Dance
Dance
Dance
We gotta blow when he says blow
And we gotta shake and shimmy
We got the strings tied to our soul
Says dance
Says dance
Says we gotta dance
Says dance
And I don't mean tomorrow
I'm so hot it makes me shiver
Makes me wet
Makes me slide
It's some spirit I'm possessed by
I can't stop
We just got to
Dance
Dance
Dance
Dance
Dance
Dance



I'M THE COOLEST

You know that I'm the coolest
That's ever come around
You'll notice things get hotter
Whenever I'm in town
I mean, I gotta be the coolest
Who else could it be?
Everybody knows who's really cool
Me
Let's face it, I'm the greatest
I'm Mr. Number One
My hometown built a statue
To their favorite son
I mean I gotta be the greatest
I'm just a ball of fun
I mean, I'm definitely the greatest
I'm also the coolest
You can't leave a package like me
Sitting on no shelf
Let me tell you, I'm so cool, sonny
I'm wanna save a little for myself
Come here, come here, baby
Come over here a minute
Who is the coolest?
I mean, how do I look?
Yeah
You can't leave a package like me
Sitting on no shelf
Let me tell you, I'm so cool, sonny
I'm gonna save a little for myself
You know the day I was born
There were these four dudes up on a hill
And they said they saw this star hanging out over town
And the whole world seemed to stand still
It made the Sunday papers
I guess it proves for sure
I am the coolest
I am the greatest
I am the baddest
I am the smoothest
I'm just the best
Sand dancer, come on
Ah yeah
Right



DIDN'T WE MEET

Pardon me but you see
I've seen that face before
I know those eyes, unearthly wise
I feel it more and more
To look at you, deja vu
Chills me to the core
They say that you are the king of this whole damn thing
But that only confused me
They say I don't stand a ghost for the chance with my host
And it frankly amused me
So let's drink a few
Here's looking at you, I swear
Didn't we meet in the night in my sleep somewhere?
Didn't we meet in the night in my sleep somewhere?
Gradually, I can see
Things are getting clear
That ageless face, satanic grace
The sudden rush of fear
They say that you are the king of this whole damn thing
Now they got me believin'
They said I don't stand a ghost for the chance with my host
So I better be leaving
Let's drink a few
Cause looking at you, I swear
Didn't we meet in the night in my sleep somewhere?
Here I am, the door's been slammed
They're gonna roast my hide
And make me bleed until I plead
For you to let me die
They say that you are the king of this whole damn thing
Now they got me believin'
They said I don't stand a ghost for the chance with my host
God, I wish I was leavin'
So let's drink a few
Cause looking at you, I swear
Didn't we meet in the night in my sleep somewhere?
Didn't we meet in the night in my sleep somewhere?
Didn't we meet in the night in my sleep somewhere?
Didn't we meet in the night in my sleep?
Didn't we meet in the night in my sleep somewhere?



I NEVER CRY

If there's a tear on my face
It makes me shiver to the bone
It shakes me, babe
Just a heartache that got in my eye
And you know
I never cry
I never cry
Sometimes I drink more than I need
Until the TV's dead and gone
I may be lonely but I'm never alone
And the night may pass me by
But I'll never cry
Take away
Take away my eyes
Sometimes I'd rather be blind
Break a heart
Break a heart of stone
Open it up
But don't you leave it alone
Cause that's all I got to give you
Believe me babe, it ain't been used
My heart's a virgin, it ain't never been tried
And you know I never cry
And you know I never cry
Well you know, you know, you know, you know that I never cry
I never cry
Break a heart
Break a heart of stone
Open it up
Now, don't you leave it alone
Cause that's all I got to give you
Believe me babe, it ain't been used
My heart's a virgin, it ain't never been tried
And you know I never cry
I never cry



GIVE THE KID A BREAK

Don't know why I'm down here
Must be something I said
Or some small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
Don't know why I'm down here
Don't deserve to roast or bake
I'm fighting off slanderous allegations
Why don't you give the kid a break?
Don't you think maybe we could talk this over?
You're a reasonable man
Could we discuss my grave situation?
I'm a miserable man
And I'm in the frying pan
(Give the kid a break)
Give me one good reason why I should
Well, I
(Give the kid a break)
All right, all right, so I made a few mistakes
But listen, for heaven's sake
Watch your language, kid
Ok, ok, don't get hot
Don't question my judgement
He only reaped what he sowed
He cast his pearls before swine
And that's good enough for me
I don't want to talk it over
Even though I'm a reasonable man
Sonny, from over here
Looks like you're in no position to bargain
You're a convicted man
You're right in the frying pan
(Give the kid a break)
Yeah, please give me a break
(Give the kid a break)
Nah, I don't think so, man
Come on, you know I got what it takes
Can't you give me a break?
Sure thing kid, when hell freezes over
(Ok, don't give the kid a break)
Hey you guys, I thought you were on my side
(Don't give the kid a break)
Yeah, well thanks a lot, pals
Listen boss, maybe we can make a little deal
Is there anything I can say?
Or some kind of fine I can pay?
Anything?
Don't know why I'm down here
Must be something I said, I'm sorry for it
Or some small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
It's some, it's some imperfection
It might be an infection
Or a clear case of misdirection, yeah
It might be a small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
Give the kid a break



GUILTY

Just tried to have fun
Raised hell and then some
I'm a dirt talkin', beer drinkin'
Woman chasin' minister's son
Slap on the makeup
And blast out the music
Wake up the neighbors with a roar
Like a teenage heavy metal elephant gun
If you call that guilty
Then that's what I am
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
Like driving too fast
Love going too far
It seems the law's on my ass
Every time I stick it out of the door
If you call that guilty
Then that's what I am
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
Bad boy on a summer night
When the heat makes me mean and I wanna fight
Put my pedal on the metal
And I do what I wanna do
Bad girls make me feel all right
When it's hot and they start screaming in the night
Golly-gee, it's wrong to be so
Guilty
Guilty
Guilty
I'm guilty
My conscience is on vacation
In acute degeneration
Willpower has sunk to all-time low
If you call that guilty
Well, then I guess I am
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
Well, I'm guilty
Yeah, I'm guilty and I don't care
I'm guilty and I think I've been framed anyway
They said I'm guilty
I'm guilty and they're guilty and everybody's guilty
And he's guilty, and he's guilty
Yeah



WAKE ME GENTLY

I was scared to death
Afraid to close my eyes
And find that I was gone
Like every other one
Who left before the dawn
I vanished in the air
Am I still there?
Wake me gently if you can
Wake me gently, just touch my hand
Wake me gently, pull my sleeve
Cause where I'm at is where I wanna leave
And in my sleep
I look so lifeless on this bed
Laid out on satin sheets
This dream's a novel
That I don't dare complete
No happy endings read
I think the hero's dead
Wake me gently if you can
Wake me gently, just touch my hand
Wake me gently, pull my sleeve
Cause where I'm at is where I wanna
Leave me to my slumber
And I'll never come home
Please help me, I'm frightened
Of what's going on, what's going on
And if I can't wake up
Will I be all alone?
A stranded orphan here?
Or will I bump into
Some other wandering soul?
And will they talk to me?
Somebody, somebody please rescue me
Wake me gently if you can
Wake me gently, just touch my hand
Wake me gently, pull my sleeve
Cause where I'm at is where I wanna leave
I wanna leave
I wanna leave
I wanna wake up
I wanna leave
I don't wanna stay
I wanna leave
I wanna go
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Just wake me up
I wanna go home
Wake me up, please
Cause I wanna go home
I wanna go home...



WISH YOU WERE HERE

I bought you postcards
Thought it'd be funny
I would've sent a souvenir
But they took all my money
It's pretty warm down here
But it ain't sunny
And I'm having a hell of a time, my dear Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
I tried to phone ya
I tried to call ya
Long distance operators
They only stall you
Besides the damn rates are so high
They just appall ya
And I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Started out a nice vacation
Left the station right on time
Now it's turned to pure frustration
I'm just a prisoner in time
Can't get a ticket to get me home, dear
They just don't have too many flights from the twilight zone, dear
So don't forget to feed my cats, Spot and Jerome, dear
And I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Seeing all the sights here
I'm getting lonely
I'd show you all the film I took
If they would only
Let me go home
Dear, sincerely
I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here, ooh



I'M ALWAYS CHASING RAINBOWS

At the end of the rainbow, there's happiness
And to find it, how often I've tried
But my life is a race
Just a wild goose chase
And all my dreams have all been denied
Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
I wonder if the world's to blame
I wonder if it could be me
I'm always chasing rainbows
Watching clouds drifting by
My schemes are just like all my dreams
Ending in the sky
Some fellows look and find the sunshine
Aw, I always look and find the rain
And some fellows make a winnin' sometime
And I, I never even make a gain
I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find the little bluebird in vain
Going Home
I'm going home
There I am there in my bedroom
I'm safe and I'm snug and snoring
I'm so glad to be there
I'm going home
None of this ever happened
But God, I really did it
Still nothing has changed
I'm going home
I'm going home
To my own room
To all the mess
To all the dirty laundry
It looks so good, I don't care
I'm just so glad to be back
Home sweet home
I wonder if anyone missed me
Or have I been gone so long
They thought'd I died?
How many said
I wonder what happened to Alice?
How many shrugged or laughed?
How many cried?
But I don't give a damn
Cause I'm going home
I'm going home
To my own room
To all the mess
To all the dirty laundry
It looks so good, I don't care
I'm just so glad to be back
Home sweet home
I'm going home
Nothing can stop me now
I'm going home
Nothing can stop me now
I'm going home
Nothing can stop me now
I'm going home
Nothing can stop me now
I'm going home
Nothing can stop me now
I'm going home
Nothing can stop me now
Stop me now
