When the wind is howling I'll hold you near, An' soothe your troubled mind With a little bit of this, An' a little bit of that I'll make you leave all your worries behind. Don't try to hold on to what you got, 'Cos I got what you need. Don't try to hold on, for anyone, Come on, give it to me. Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood.

'Cos I'm looking for love, The time has come. I'm looking for love, An' I mean to get me some. I'm looking for love right now, An' I'm rough an' ready. All of you woman better Lift up your skirts an' run, 'Cos I aim to shoot my pistol An' fire like a Gatlin' gun. 'Cos I'm looking for love, Believe me when I say. I'm looking for love, In the worst kind of way. I'm looking for love right now An' I'm rough an' ready. Rough an' ready... Solo: Moody Rough an' ready.

Rough an' ready... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Bloody Luxury (Coverdale) 3:24 Now when I first met you I was rolling along, Just a bar room crooner Singing heartbreak songs, An' I supposed I could never get next to you. But, you seemed quite happy with my company You kept my body heat steady at 103, With your mouth full of gimme An' your body full of much obliged. It's bloody luxury What you mean to me, Bloody luxury What you do to me. It's bloody luxury What you mean to me, 'Cos no matter what you do to me It's bloody luxury. Bloody luxury. You're a five star woman, An' you know what to give To fill a part time loser Full of reasons to live, But, there's no doubt about it I'm taking a chance on you. Becos' you get my heart beating heavy, Make my knees go weak. You get me so damn nervous I can hardly speak, But, nothing's gonna stop me Hanging on my good luck charm. It's bloody luxury What you mean to me, Bloody luxury What you do to me. It's bloody luxury What you mean to me, 'Cos no matter what you do to me It's bloody luxury. Bloody luxury. Solo: Moody and Marsden It's bloody luxury What you mean to me, Bloody luxury Honey what you do to me. It's bloody luxury What you mean to me, 'Cos no matter what you do to me It's bloody luxury. Bloody luxury. What you mean to me, Bloody luxury Honey what you do to me. It's bloody luxury What you mean to me, 'Cos no matter what you do to me, No matter what you do to me, No matter what you do to me, It's bloody luxury. Bloody luxury. Bloody luxury. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Victim Of Love (Coverdale) 3:33 I'm down on love An' I don't give a damn, I take my chances Whenever I can. Like a lamb to the slaughter, Another sacrifice, For giving love to woman With a heart stone cold as ice. I'm down on love An' I'm clean out of pain, I ain't no stranger To the crying game. Too scared to suffer, An' too blind to see, But, I played with fire An' I got what was coming to me. Now, one more heartache Don't bother me, Just one more lonely night To drown in misery. I am a victim of love, A victim of love, Lord, I never thought I'd be a victim of love. Victim of love, victim of love, Lord, I never thought I'd be a victim of love. I'm down on love An' I feel like a fool To beg for mercy 'Cos I broke the rules. So do me no favors With your cool advice, I know the losing cost, An' I'll pay the price. One more heartache Don't bother me One more lonely night To drown in misery. I am a victim of love, A victim of love, Lord, I never thought I'd be a victim of love. Victim of love, A victim of love, Lord, I never thought I'd be a victim of love. Solo: Moody One more heartache Don't bother me One more lonely night To drown in misery. Victim of love, A victim of love, Lord, I never thought I'd be a victim of love... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Crying In The Rain (Coverdale) 6:01 A black cat moans When he's burning with the fever. A stray dog howls When he's lonely in the night. A woman goes crazy With the though of retribution. But, a man starts weeping When he's sick and tired of life. I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow Feel I'm wasting my time Lighting candles in the wind, Always taking my chances On the promise of the future But, a heart full of sorrow Paints a lonely tapestry. The sun is shining But, it's raining in my heart. No one understands the heartache, No one feels the pain, 'Cos no one ever sees the tears When you're crying in the rain, When you're crying in the rain, Crying in the rain. I can never deny All the sweet things I have tasted Tho' I've been mistreated I keep coming back for more, I know where I'm going There's no hope of absolution I can't seem to separate The good times from the bad. The sun is shining But, it's raining in my heart. No one understands the heartache, No one feels the pain, 'Cos no one ever sees the tears When you're crying in the rain, When you're crying in the rain, When you're crying in the rain, When you're crying in the rain. The sun is shining But, it's raining in my heart. No one understands the heartache, No one feels the pain, 'Cos no one ever sees the tears When you're crying in the rain, When you're crying in the rain, When you're crying in the rain, When you're crying in the rain. Crying in the rain ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Here I Go Again (Coverdale, Marsden) 5:09 I don't know where I'm going But, I sure know where I've been Hanging on the promises In songs of yesterday An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time But, here I go again Here I go again. Tho' I keep searching for an answer, I never seem to find what I'm looking for Oh Lord, I pray You give me strength to carry on, 'Cos I know what it means To walk along the lonely street of dreams. An' here I go again on my own Goin' down the only road I've ever known, Like a hobo I was born to walk alone. An' I've made up my mind I ain't wasting no more time. I'm just another heart in need of rescue, Waiting on love's sweet charity. An' I'm gonna hold on For the rest of my days, 'Cos I know what it means To walk along the lonely street of dreams. An' here I go again on my own Goin' down the only road I've ever known, Like a hobo I was born to walk alone. An' I've made up my mind I ain't wasting no more time. But, here I go again, Here I go again, Here I go again, Here I go. An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time. An' here I go again on my own Goin' down the only road I've ever known, Like a hobo I was born to walk alone. 'Cos I know what it means To walk along the lonely street of dreams. An' here I go again on my own Goin' down the only road I've ever known, Like a hobo I was born to walk alone. An' I've made up my mind I ain't wasting no more time. But, here I go again, Here I go again, Here I go again, Here I go, Here I go again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Love An' Affection (Coverdale, Moody) 3:09 Well, I love the way you walk With your skin tight stride, You got my eyes wide open An' my loose tongue tied. A French kiss mouth An' a smile so bad, You're the finest woman That I ever had. So it's alright, Do anything you wanna do. Nobody had to tell you How to make a man's heart bleed, Your mama always knew You was born to succeed. I can see the honey juice Dripping off your lips, Girl, you got the Midas Touch It's in your fingertips. But it's alright, Do anything you wanna do. 'Cos after midnight, I'll be alright Riding on Cupid's train, You give me loving, like I've never had before, I'm back in the saddle again. So give me love an' affection, Love an' affection. A little love an' affection Sure 'nuff goes a long, long way. You put your arms around me Like a circle 'round the sun, Your eyes turn on the hypnotizing game You play for fun. I'm caught in your spell Just like the spider an' the fly, An' I can't break away from you No matter how I try. But, it's alright, Do anything you wanna do. 'Cos after midnight, I'll be alright Riding on Cupid's train, You give me loving, like I've never had before, I'm back in the saddle again. So give me love an' affection, Love an' affection. A little love an' affection Sure 'nuff goes a long, long way. Solo: Marsden 'Cos after midnight, I'll be alright Riding on Cupid's train, You give me loving, like I've never had before, I'm back in the saddle again. So give me love an' affection, Love an' affection. A little love an' affection Sure 'nuff goes a long, long way. Love an' affection. A little love an' affection Baby, baby, love an' affection. Sure 'nuff goes a long, long way. Love, love, love. Love, love, love. I need love an' affection, Sure 'nuff goes a long, long way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Rock An' Roll Angels (Coverdale, Moody) 4:07 I'm gonna tell you What is all about, Why I scream an' I shout for you. I've been an' traveled All around the world, Teasin' lottsa pretty girls like you. Oh, I feel my heart beating heavy, Banging like a big bass drum. An' all you blue jeans queens Know exactly where I'm coming from, I'm looking for some. Rock an' roll, rock an' roll, Rock an' roll angels. Rock an' roll, rock an' roll, Rock an' roll angels. I can't hide what I feel inside Tho' I've tried an' I've tried I can't fake it. I get in trouble everywhere I go, 'Cos I can't say no, I gotta shake it. Oh, I feel my heart beating heavy, Banging like a big bass drum. An' all you blue jeans queens Know exactly where I'm coming from, I'm looking for some. Rock an' roll, rock an' roll, Rock an' roll angels. Rock an' roll, rock an' roll, Rock an' roll angels. Solo: Lord I feel my heart beating heavy, Banging like a big bass drum. An' all you blue jeans queens Know exactly where I'm coming from, I'm looking for some. Rock an' roll, rock an' roll, Rock an' roll angels... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Dancing Girls (Coverdale) 3:11 I don't need a doctor, I don't need a priest, I don't need no superstitious cures for my release. I'm flesh an' blood, skin an' bone. A little petticoat company can't get me stoned. So just gimme the night, Skin it back to the bone, Turn on the spotlight. C'mon, bring on the dancing girls, Bring on the dancing girls, Bring on the dancing girls. You can dance, dance, Dance for me, Dance for your daddy all night. I got a one track notion on a feminine squeeze, A sackfull of love an' a mindful of fantasies. A midnight rider on a stallion steam, I got an old man's weakness hanging on a young man's dream. So just gimme the night, Skin it back to the bone, Turn on the spotlight. C'mon, bring on the dancing girls, Bring on the dancing girls, Bring on the dancing girls. You can dance, dance, Dance for me, Dance for your daddy all night. Solo: Lord So just gimme the night, Skin it back to the bone, Turn on the spotlight. C'mon, bring on the dancing girls, Bring on the dancing girls... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Saints An' Sinners (Coverdale, Lord, Moody, Marsden, Paice, Murray) 4:20 Get ready for Judgment day An' the final curtain call, Don't lie when you testify 'Cos the Good Lord know you're all. Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves, Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves. When Moses stood on the Red Sea shore Laying the Law on the line, He said don't come knocking On the Pearly Gates If all you did was have a real good time. Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves, Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves. For what we are about to receive May the Lord make us truly thankful. Saints an' sinners. I stand guilty of a thousand crimes, An' I suffer temptation still, Show me a man who won't give it to his woman An' I'll show you somebody who will. Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves, Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves. For what we are about to receive May the Lord make us truly thankful. Solo: Marsden Saints an' sinners, Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves, Get ready for Judgment day An' the final curtain call, Don't lie when you testify 'Cos the Good Lord know you're all. Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves, Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves. For what we are about to receive May the Lord make us truly thankful. Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves. Saints an' sinners... ------------------------------------------------------------------------
