1. Hypermobile

I may move too quick for you
Think fast, or your time is through
Shin kickin', motorvatin' my way thru' life

Switch on my hyper thrust
No one else i can trust
Gotta rock, gotta roll, gonna let it slide

Reel it down
Wheel it 'round
Hey!

I can't stand to stand in lines
Red tape just blows my mind
These robot people just ain't my kind

All the dough in the world
Lear jets or silly con-girls
Could never stop me or steal my time

Reel it down
Wheel it 'round
Gonna rock this town
That all american million buck smile
Can't cramp my style, i'm hyper mobile

Reel it down
Wheel it 'round
Gonna rock this town
That all american million buck smile
Can't cramp my style, i'm hyper mobile
Can't cramp my style, i'm hyper mobile
Hey!

2. Street Poetry

I sit here everyday, watchin' you rush away
I write down what you wear
Words in prose of skirts and suits
In blues and greys, such bad taste

Your runnin' when it rains,
Too late to catch the train
The work just has to wait
Most of you i've learned to recognize by sight
As you walk by

I write it down in rhymes about your busy lives
Invisible to you, a mirror of the edges of society
Rich in poverty

I'm the outsider, the observer
The outcast, the word conserver
I'm inspired by the streets
Some day it will be in my biograffiti

I'm just recitin' my street poetry
Might mean nothin' much to you,
But it's the whole world to me
I'm just recitin' my street poetry
Might mean nothin' much to you,
But it's the whole world to me
Nothin' much to you,
But it's the whole world to me

That guy has got a mortgage
And children, bet they're gorgeous
But as i read his eyes i know he's unhappy
With his greedy wife and his daily life

I've seen the grey masses, slaves to higher classes
Someday somewhere somehow
Someone will release my book of poetry
Or at least a piece

I'm the outsider, the observer
The outcast, the word conserver
I'm inspired by the streets
Some day it will be in my biograffiti

I'm just recitin' my street poetry
Might mean nothin' much to you,
But it's the whole world to me
I'm just recitin' my street poetry
Might mean nothin' much to you,
But it's the whole world to me
Nothin' much to you,
But it's the whole world to me
Recitin' my street poetry

I'm just a writer of street poetry
Might mean nothin' much to you
But it's everything to me

3. Fashion

When fashion is your passion
At first glance leaves a lasting impression
Paris catwalks, big small talk
The casting couch promise that'll put you worse off

Every evening london's receiving
A beat-machine man-made and so deceiving
We got the groove now
We'll show the world how
To wake this planet up with a new sound now

I'm into fashion just because of you
It ain't the flash man, it's down to attitude
I'm into fashion all because of you
I got new fashion just designed for you

Silk emerald islands
Diamonty high lands
A vogue sale scheme, just an empty day dream
Child labour out of favour
Fashion can have such a nasty flavour

I'm into fashion just because of you
It ain't the flash man, it's down to attitude
I'm into fashion all because of you
I got new fashion just for you

Hand me downs,
I wear my rags well
I mix, match and i make it jell
Just hand it down,
I'm breaking new ground
You'll always find me in a thrift store wheelin' around

I'm into fashion just because of you
It ain't the flash man, it's down to attitude
I'm into fashion all because of you
I got new fashion just for you

I'm into fashion 'cuz of you.

4. Highwired

We all want something, don't we?
To realize our fantasies
You can waste a lifetime pining for the happy end

Regret can be instructive
But remorse is a waste of time
Just wake yourself up and start up livin' again

Don't let the meanstreets get you down
There's a rock'n'roll circus in town
And we wanna sing hey! hey!

We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance on the highwire
Ain't seen nuthin' yet, no safety net
Get up and prance on the highwire
We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance and get highwired
Dance and get highwired

To escape is not a crime
It's hard to face life
Head-on all the time
Got to let go and get wild
Every once in a while

The band's on stage, it's starry night
The vibe's ok and we're feelin' alright
Forget your sorrow
Tomorrow's just a night away

Don't let the meanstreets get you down
There's a rock'n'roll circus in town
And we wanna sing hey! hey!

We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance on the highwire
Ain't seen nuthin' yet, no safety net
Get up and prance on the highwire
We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance and get highwired
Dance and get highwired

Hey! hey!

We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance on the highwire
Ain't seen nuthin' yet, no safety net
Get up and prance on the highwire
We feel the love, we see the light
We'll rock'n'roll right through the night
We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance and get highwired
Dance and get highwired

5. Power Of Persuasion

Well, it came out in conversation
Under police surveillance in some shady bar
A rather sticky situation
Some cholo's gun against my head
He wants to cap me dead
Just be cool, no hesitation
Now they've offered a deal that you just can't refuse
But bet you're gonna lose

That's when you wish that you were somewhere else
Dance, dance, dancing
And you feel like you could dance the night away

It's in the power of viscious tongue
It makes you get up and wanna run
You've got the power to beat it
You know just how to defeat it
It's in the power of viscious tongue
It makes you get up and wanna run
Forceful manipulation
The power of persuasion

You gave an oath of obligation
There ain't no referee for what's been disagreed
A lesson for your graduation
The evil always wants more
Once inside your door

That's when you wish that you were somewhere else
Dance, dance, dancing
And you feel like you could dance the night away

It's in the power of viscious tongue
It makes you get up and wanna run
You've got the power to beat it
You know just how to defeat it
It's in the power of viscious tongue
It makes you get up and wanna run
Forceful manipulation
The power of persuasion

That's when you wish that you were somewhere else
Dance, dance, dancing
And you feel like you could dance the night away

It's in the power of viscious tongue
It makes you get up and wanna run
You've got the power in your mind
You've got the time on your side
You've got the power to beat it
You know just how to defeat it
Forceful manipulation
The power of persuasion

6. Teenage Revolution

An image with your kind of potential
Can shape up all the shapes of things to come
You build your dreams so high, up to the sky
Don't let them crumble down on you

Now if ever all the kids should get united
And change this world for better once 'n' for all
Grab the power, steal the throne
Use software, sticks or stones
Don't let this planet burn down, down, down, down
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Teenage revolution
In the heart of the town
Teenage revolution
Spread the word around

Now they got two guns per every household
Like in the wild western days of old
They build more prisons than schools
Too many trigger-happy fools
Don't let them shoot you down, down, down, down
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Teenage revolution
In the heart of the town
Teenage revolution
Spread the word around

Teenage revolution
Teenage revolution...

7. Worth Your Weight In Gold

You, you're an emotional landmine
Always searchin' for a website
Tryin' to find advice to get by

The spiritual switchboard callin'
You can find yourself fallin',
Climbin' and crawlin' to reply

Even though the sun is shining
You don't embrace it 'cos it's blinding

Don't you know you're worth your weight in gold
Make your move before you get too old
Give it all until you reach your goal
Learn to know you're worth your weight in gold

You can find the secret of perfection
It can loom around the corner
Tellin' you, you lack some kinda flaw

Try to find yourself amongst the livin'
Give some takin', take some givin'
Or you'll face another shut door

Even though the sun is shining
You don't embrace it 'cos it's blinding

Don't you know you're worth your weight in gold
Make your move before you get too old
Give it all until you reach your goal
Learn to know you're worth your weight in gold

8. Transcendental Groove

Layin' on the floorboards, tryin' to get forwards
Lookin' for a place to sway
Starin' at the stars, they're as close as they're far away

Can't you tell that i really ain't a people person
I'm the real deal, i ain't a cover version
Welcome to the rock'n'roll jukebox of my life

I got the transcendental groove
It really makes you wanna move
It makes you get up on your feet,
Get out on the street
An intercontinental cool
So if you wanna break the rules
You better make a move
Get in the transcendental groove

A line of everpassing masses do their own thing
I'm just here to spread the groove
They spout and they sputter, just mutter their lives away

Around it's all fads that disappear fast
Rock'n'roll seems the only thing that lasts
Feels like we're the only ones who came to stay

We got the transcendental groove
It really makes you wanna move
It makes you get up on your feet,
Get out on the street
An intercontinental cool
So if you wanna break the rules
Get in the transcendental groove

I got the transcendental groove
It really makes you wanna move
It makes you get up on your feet,
Get out on the street
An intercontinental cool
So if you wanna break the rules
And if you wanna keep your cool
Then you better make your move
We got the transcendental groove!

9. This One's For Rock'N'Roll

We pulled through
Despite expectations, desperate situations
Tooting bec to the west end
It's a long way to go when you play rock'n'roll

Yeah, yeah, yeah, was i dreamin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the crowd was screamin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah

This one's for rock'n'roll
For everyone who's made it roll along
This one's for rock'n'roll
From chuck berry to the rolling stones

The moonlite club, six tickets sold
We still rocked and we rolled
Then the future came to pass
All those wasted years were never meant to last

Yeah, yeah, yeah, am i dreamin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the crowd is screamin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah

This one's for rock'n'roll
For everyone who's made it roll along
This one's for rock'n'roll
From chuck berry to the rolling stones
From little richard to the ramones

This one's for rock'n'roll
For everyone who's made it roll along
This one's for rock'n'roll
From chuck berry to the rolling stones

This one's for rock'n'roll
For everyone who's made it roll along
This one's for rock'n'roll
From chuck berry to the rolling stones
From little richard to the ramones

This one's for rock'n'roll
This one's for rock'n'roll

10. Powertrip

I'm not your slave, never was, never will be
I gave all i had and you took what you needed
It's out of gods lips into your ears
You act like you ain't gotten laid in five years

Powertrip
Powertrip
Why can't you admit you've been pussy-whipped
She's on a powertrip

Bitchin' comes off me like water on oil
But this powertrip babe is way outta control
Something's gotta give or someone's gonna get smashed
Your ego's writin' cheques that your body can't cash

Powertrip
Powertrip
Even tougher than than most get burned like toast
With your powertrip
Powertrip
Powertrip
Powertrip

Powertrip
Powertrip
Even tougher than than most get burned like toast
With you your powertrip

Why can't you admit you've been pussy-whipped
She's on a powertrip
Powertrip
Powertrip

11. Walkin' Away

I'm still in bed with you
And i forgive all the things you do
Stop for a moment rantin' and ravin'
Your demons get me down

What should i do with you?
Knock you down, or storm out like a fool?
It ain't over until we're sober
Stop dissin' me around

You keep naggin' at me night and day
I just wanna make it fade away

You got me walkin'
Walkin'away
I count the reasons and still i stay
You keep on talkin' with nothin' to say
I feel like walkin'
Walkin' away

Still in bed with you
You stab my back, you're so goddam cruel
Hey, don't you get it?
I'll never let it tear either of us down

You got me walkin'
Walkin' away
I count the reasons and still i stay
You keep on talkin' with nothin' to say
You got me walkin'
Walkin' away

You keep naggin' at me night and day
I just wanna make it fade away

You got me walkin'
Walkin' away...

12. Tootin' Star

I met a mean mad daddy
Who had a bad luck baddy of a habit
He bought a brand new caddy
'cos he couldn't make the rolls rock steady

Ya wanna fix it, mix it, stir it, take it far
Ya wanna sunset strip it, rip it off real smart

He rocked hard
Played the part
All night like a certified tart
He wrecked cars,
Got smashed in bars
Rootin' and-a-tootin' like a shootin' star

He got his hands all greasy
Shakin' hands with the man so sleazy
Had success when he sucked less
On the walk of shame he was a staggerin' mess

Ya wanna fix it, mix it, stir it, take it far
Ya wanna sunset strip it, rip it off real smart

He rocked hard
Played the part
All night like a certified tart
He wrecked cars,
Got smashed in bars
Rootin' and-a-tootin' like a shootin' star

13. Self Destruction Blues

(бонус)

It was a Monday morning, When the blues came falling on me
It was a Monday morning, When the blues came falling on me
Now it's Saturday evening, And still got a hold on me

It was a Monday morning, When my baby left me
It was a Monday morning, When my baby left me
now she's walking down the street, And stopping every man she meets

Now I'm sitting at the table, With a breakfast made for two
Sitting at the table, With a breakfast made for two
Oh please, dear Lord, Help me get rid of my self destruction blues

14. Worldshaker

(бонус)

I'm a born worldshaker
True blue rock'n'roll
I question everything that i'm told
I rattle all the cages, kick down the walls
Got no one there who's gonna catch my fall
Catch my fall
Gonna do some worldshakin' my own way

Some go to bed, some go to betty ford's
Such luxury i just can't afford
I say what i think, i mean what i say
Most of my life i've been m.i.a.
M.i.a.
Gonna do some worldshakin'– come what may

So can ya feel the groove?
Ya dig what i play?
It ain't where ya been, it's whatcha do today
I'm a born worldshaker, hey! i'm d.t.k.
We're gonna rock the world and we're here to stay
Here to stay
So let's do some worldshakin' our own way
