Stagefright

Got the set together
And the stage is all leather
Crowd, sound & lights
All black ledger
Full catering backstage
T-shirts on display
Clean toilets in the hall
But I’m afraid
Alright, stagefright
Stagefright, all night
My hands are really sweaty
And I ate too much spaghetti
It’s almost time to play
But I’m not ready
My motion’s automatic
But my eyes are seen’ static
Point me toward the mic
My job’s problematic
Alright, stagefright
Stagefright, all night
SOLO
Alright, stagefright
Stagefright, all night
Alright, stagefright
Stagefright, good night

№ 1 Instigator

I step through the door and everybody stops and stares
They know I know they know I bet they will so who cares
But while they’re quaking, shaking in their pointy little boots
It’s me ya see that will be here to shake loose a few roots
I want action now - so listen
I’m your number four detonator
I’m number three operator
I’m number two terminator
But I’m the number one-a-instigator
I play all of these roles but then there’s still so many holes
To get it right I fight at night and don’t do what I’m told
If you wanna start too bad I did that yesterday
All I gotta say is “Hey, man, great, O.K.?”
I want action now - so listen
I’m the number eight liquidator
I’m number seven dictator
I’m number six accumulator
and number five defibrillator
I’m your number four detonator
I’m number three operator
I’m number two terminator
But I’m the number one-a-instigator
SOLO
I’m the number eight liquidator
I’m number seven dictator
I’m number six accumulator
and number five defibrillator
I’m the number four regulator
I’m the number three aggravator
I’m the number two, I’ll see you later
Cuz I’m the number one-a-instigator

Outta Gas Again

Haulin’ ass on the highway, I’m on the road
If I don’t get where I want to be ya know I will explode
Passin’ left, passin’ right, get outta my way
But you know I never win
I’m outta gas again
Outta gas again
Thumb’s out lemme ride, I gotta go
Pick me up and drop me off, that’s how it goes
Outta cash, got no grass & I got a rash
C’mon just let me get in
Outta gas again
Outta gas again
Alright top it off
Draggin’ ass on the highway, walking’ down the road
Got a gas can, filled it up, I’m headin’ back ya know
Up, down, all around I know a thing or two
But what’s this, I’ve been towed!
I heave the can
I curse the man
Here I stand
Rememberin’
That I’m outta gas again
Outta gas again
Outta gas again
Outta gas again

Love Light

I’ve been watching you baby
But you just don’t see
What I’ve got for ya sugar is
As bright as the sun on a summer day
Right by the sea
I got a love light
Got you in bright white
I got a love light tonight
You’ve been blind to me honey
And I understand
That it ain’t your fault mama
It’s hard to see in the dark but I
I got a plan
I’ll use my love light
Got you in my sight
I’ll use my love light alright
I got a love light
Got you in bright white
I got a love light tonight

I’m too young to die, too old to try
If I talk ‘bout love people will laugh
I’m too tough for love, too butch to cry
I’m a stud
My one & only friend is my motorbike
Speeding down the road wind in my eyes
Beating up the old, too shy to fight
I’m a stud
I’m too proud to jerk, too pretty to work
Standing in the street with my pants too tight
I’m selling myself to make a few bucks
I’m a stud
Sure I lie & cheat whoever I meet
I’ve have no finesse just a pretty face
I’m so good you can’t send me away
I’m a stud
A fifty dollar leather wearing stud

It's A Loaner

See I’m cheap
And whats best is free
Lemme see that thing
Lemme pay no fee
Some people rent
While others buy
I just borrow it and say
see ya later babe
Watch that guitar it’s a loaner
If I break it then I hafta buy it
Hear that big riff it’s a loaner
Can’t afford to write our own
Everything’s been done
And done pretty good
Why waste time and effort
That fact’s understood
Before you run up
And say I bit his style
Get one thing clear
Hey I know I did
Don’t tow that van it’s a loaner
I can push it to a free parking space
Don’t sit there that chair’s a loaner
There’s plenty room on the floor
Check out my band it’s a loaner
They’ll split when I forget to pay
Pretty nice gear, huh? It’s a loaner
It’ll go back in hock after the gig
Don’t touch that dial it’s a loaner
This song is pretty much over anyways

License To Rock

Ain’t got a license to a kill
I got a permit to thrill
And everybody here ain’t standin’ so still
So stop staring at the clock
Cuz it just won’t stop
Even if the tunes sound a little stock
Rollin’ in the mornin’
Rockin’ in the evenin’
The place right in the middle could use a little seasonin’
Come round the block
It’s about to pop
Me and the boys got a license to rock
Leather-clad
Nice & bad
Pounding drums
No sucker thumbs
Eat the rich
Watch em twitch
A-B-C-Can I see some I.D.
Neighbors gettin’ pissed
Cuz they missed the guestlist
They wanna be in the sea of raised fists
Everybody rocks
So run don’t walk
Ah shit it’s the cops
Guess the party’s done
Pigs shut down the fun
Ruined the night for everyone
But wait, look up the block
We’re settin’ up shop
Me and the boys got a license to rock
Burnin’ wheels
Guitar squeals
Power sound
Lost & found
Thunder roar
Come get some more
Rock
Rock
Rocccccckkkkkk and roll, too
Well nobody came
Gee wow what a shame
Promotor said there was a baseball game
So the show was a flop
No money we got
Have we lost our license to rock?
Nope no way no how
don’t think so
Back into the basement is where we go
Cutting our chops
So we make it to the top
Me and the boys got a license to…
License to rock
License to rock
License to rock
License to rock
