100 Greatest Hair Metal Songs Vol 5

I'd like to see you in the morning light
I like to feel you when it comes to night
Now I'm here and I'm all alone
Still I know how it feels, I'm alone again

Tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you
Alone again without you
Alone again without you

I said stay, but you turned away
Tried to say that it was me
Now I'm here and I've lost my way
Now I know how it feels, I'm alone again

Tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you
Alone again without you
Alone again without you
Alone again without you

I tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you
Alone again without you
Alone again
Alone again
Alone again without you

I awoke on impact
Under surveillance from the camera eye
Searching high and low
The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime
Handcuffed and blind, I didn't do it
She said she loved me
I guess I never knew
But do we ever, ever really know?
She said she'd meet me on the other side
But I knew right then, I'd never find her

I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel

No more nightmares, I've seen them all
From the day I was born, they've haunted my every move
Every open hand's there to push and shove
No time for love it doesn't matter
She made a difference
I guess she had a way
Of making every night seem bright as day
Now I walk in shadows, never see the light
She must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye

I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
I'll just pretend she never was real
I don't believe in love
I need to forget her face, I see it still
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel

No chance for contact
There's no raison d'etre
My only hope is one day I'll forget
The pain of knowing what can never be
With or without love it's all the same to me

I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
I'll just pretend she never was real
I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel
The pain that you feel

A wild ride, over stony ground
Such a lust for life, the circus comes to town
We are the hungry ones, on a lightning raid
Just like a river runs, like a fire needs flame
Oh, I burn for you

I gotta feel it in my blood, whoa, oh
I need your touch don't need your love, whoa, oh
And I want, and I need, and I lust, animal
And I want, and I need, and I lust, animal

I cry wolf, given mouth to mouth
Like a moving heartbeat, in the witching hour
I'm running with the wind, a shadow in the dust
And like the driving rain, hey, like the restless rust
I never sleep

Huh! Oh! Cry wolf baby, cry tough
Gonna hunt you like an, uh, uh, animal
Gonna take your love and run

And I want (And I want)
And I need (And I need)
And I lust (And I lust)
Animal (Animal)

And I want (Take me)
And I need (Tame me)
And I lust (Make me)
Animal (Your animal)

And I want (Show me)
And I need (Stroke me)
And I lust (Let me be your)
Animal (Animal)

And I want (I want)
And I need (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
And I lust
Animal (Animal)

Baby
I get so scared inside, and I don't really understand
Is it love that's on my mind, or is it fantasy?
Heaven
Is in the palm of my hand, and it's waiting here for you
What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same?
Sometimes
It's hard to hold on
So hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn't always what it seems
When you're face to face with me
You're like a dagger
And stick me in the heart
And taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep, would you shelter me
In your warm and darkened grave?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same?
Will you ever take me?
No, I just can't take the pain
But would you ever trust me?
No, I'll never feel the same, Oh
I know I've been so hard on you
I know I've told you lies
If I could have just one more wish
I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same?
Close your eyes

I guess the time was right for us to say
We'd take our time and live our lives
Together day by day
We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer
We know our dreams will all come true
With love that we can share

With you I never wonder - will you be there for me?
With you I never wonder - you're the right one for me?
I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart
I finally found the love of a lifetime

With every kiss, our love is like brand-new
And every star up in the sky
Was made for me and you
Still we both know that the road is long
We know that we will be together
Because our love is strong

I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart
I finally found the love of a lifetime

Ooh, I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through, ooh
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart
I finally found the love of a lifetime (I finally found the love of a lifetime)
Love of a lifetime (I finally found the love of a lifetime)
I finally found the love (I finally found the love of a lifetime)
Ooh, forever in my heart
I finally found the love of a lifetime, ooh

Ooh yeah wooh!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah

Life's ambition occupy my time
Priorities confuse the mind
Happiness one step behind
This inner peace I've yet to find

Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I'm not blind why can't I see
That a circle can't fit where a square should be?

There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
Hole-hearted
Hole-hearted

This heart of stone is where I hide
These feet of clay keep warm inside
Day by day less satisfied
Not fade away before I die

Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I'm not blind why can't I see
Ooh, that a circle can't fit where a square should be?

There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do

There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
Should have known from the start
I'd fall short with the things I do
Hole-hearted, hole-hearted
Hole-hearted, hole-hearted

Hole-hearted, hole-hearted
Yeah
Yee haw!

I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
Since we broke the ties
I call you on the phone
But never get a rise
So sit there all alone
It's time you realize

I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's foooool
I'm no fooool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Never again no no

You take your road I'll take mine,
The paths have both been beaten
Searchin' for a change of pace
Life needs to be sweetened
I scream my heart out just to make a dime
And with that dime I bought your love
But now I've changed my mind

I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Never again no no

I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
since we broke the ties

I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool

Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool

Well, the night's begun and you want some fun
Do you think you're gonna find it (think you're gonna find it)?
You got to treat yourself like number one
Do you need to be reminded (need to be reminded)?

It doesn't matter what you do or say
Just forget the things that you've been told
We can't do it any other way
Everybody's got to rock and roll, whoo, oh, oh

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud

If you don't feel good, there's a way you could
Don't sit there broken-hearted (sit there broken-hearted)
Call all your friends in the neighborhood
And get the party started (get the party started)

Don't let 'em tell you that there's too much noise
They're too old to really understand
You'll still get rowdy with the girls and boys
'Cause it's time for you to take a stand, yeah, yeah

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
You've got to have a party
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Turn it up louder
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Everybody shout it now
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Oh yeah
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Hear it getting louder
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
And everybody shout it now
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud

Stormy night
Under jet-black skies
Billy pulls into town
Thunder rolled
And the lightning bolts
Come crashin' to the ground

Cold as ice, hard as stone, as he walks into the room
With another man who was feeling the same way, all hell's breakin' loose

Bang bang, shoot 'em up
Bang bang, blow you away
It's a showdown in the no man's land for the cowboy of the modern day
Come on, sundown
Don't be hangin' 'round
'Cause the cowboy'll blow you away

Al Capone
And the Bad Boy Jones
On the wrong side of the law
Johnny D
And his company
Always first to the draw

Gangster lean
Feelin' so mean
Tryna take more than their share
'Cause all they saw
Was ruling it all
The scent of blood was in the air

Bang bang, shoot 'em up
Bang bang, blow you away
It's a showdown in the no man's land for the cowboy of the modern day
Come on, sundown
Don't be hangin' 'round
'Cause the cowboy'll blow you away

So here we are
And we've come this far
But it's only getting worse
Foreign lands
With their terrorist demands
Only cause the good to hurt

The U.S.A., the U.S.S.R. with their six-guns to the side
I see the message written on the wall. Too much anger deep inside

Bang bang, I shoot 'em up
Bang bang, blow you away
It's a showdown in the no man's land for the cowboy of the modern day
Oh, come on, sundown
Don't be hangin' 'round
'Cause the cowboy'll blow you away

It's a showdown!

In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the Still of the Night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more

In the shadow of night
I see the full moon rise
Telling me what's in store,
My heart start aching
My body start a shaking
And I can't take no more, no, no

Now I just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat...

In the Still of the Night...
In the Still of the Night...
Over here baby...

In the heat of the day
I hang my head down low
And hide my face from the sun
Through the light of the day
Until the evening time
I'm waiting for the night to come

In the Still of the Night,
In the cool moonlight,
I feel my heart is aching
In the Still of the Night...

Tell me here baby

In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door...
In the Still of the Night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more...

Now I just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat.

In the Still of the Night...

Still of the Night,
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night...

She was always something special
A diamond shining bright in the rain
Everybody dreams of angels
No one will ever know
How much I loved you so

Now it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What happened to Jayne

You were always on my mind
Childlike summer days in the sun
Slowly wishes turn to sadness
Time don't heal a broken gun
I wish I'd never let you go
Hear me now 'cause I want you to know

That it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What happened to Jayne

Now she's breakin' hearts in heaven
Shining bright in the sky
I still hear her voice in the wind
I still think of you in the night, oh yeah
Well, I guess she'll never know
How much I need her so

Now it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What a shame
What happened to Jayne

Now it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What happened to Jayne
What happened to Jayne

I've got a picture of your house
And you're standing by the door.
It's black and white and faded,
And it's looking pretty worn.
See the factory that I worked
Silhouetted in the back.
The memories are gray but man they're really coming back.

I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as i'm the hero of this little girl

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday
No matter what your friends might say

How I love the way you move
And the sparkle in your eyes
There's a color deep inside them
Like blue suburban skys
When i come home late at night
And you're in bed asleep
I wrap my arms around you
So I can feel you breathe

I dont need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday (Ah, ah)
No matter what your friends might say
We'll find our way, yeah

Now the lights are going out,
Along the boulevard
Memories come rushing back and makes it pretty hard
I've got nowhere left to go
And no one really cares
I don't know what to do
But I'm never giving up on you.

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
ohhhh ohhh
No matter what your friends say
I know we're gonna find a way

(Heaven)

Whoah, oohh, ohhh
Whoah, oohh, ohhh

(Heaven)

It's not too far away

Whoah, oohh, ohhh

Yeah yeah yeah

You better come inside when you're ready to
But no chance if you don't wanna dance
You like a four letter words when you're ready to
But then you won't 'cause you know that you can
You got it
But are you getting it?
You say that love is won when you get some
But then your finger won't trigger the gun

You know you can't stop it, so don't rock it
You know you got it
Hey, but are you getting it?
Ooh, really getting it?
Come get it from me

(Give me all of your loving)
Every little bit
(Give me all that you got)
Every bit of it
(Every bit of your loving)
Oh, come on live a bit
(Never want to stop)

Yeah, but are you getting it?
(Armageddon it)
Ooh, really getting it?
(Yes, Armageddon it)
Come on get it
Yeah
Do, do, do
Uh oh

You try coming on when you need some
But then you don't because you already did
Yeah, you jangle your jewels while you're shaking your
And drive the pretty boys out of their heads
You got it
But are you getting it?
You flash your bedroom eyes like a jumping Jack
Then play it pretty with a pat on the back

Yeah, but are you getting it?
(Armageddon it)
Ooh, really getting it?
(Yes, Armageddon it)
Come on, Steve, get it, huh

Take it, take it, take it from me
I got an itchy finger following me
Pull it, pull it, come on trigger the gun
Because the best is a yet to come
I say
(Because the best is yet to come)

Oh, are you getting it?
Oh, really getting it?
Yes, are you getting it?
Whoa, really getting it?

Come get it from me
(Give me all of you loving)
Every little bit
(Give me all that you got)
Every bit of it
(Every bit of your loving)
Oh, come on live a bit
(Never want it to stop)

Oh, are you getting it?
(Give me all of your loving)
Ooh, really getting it?
(Give me all that you got)
Oh are you getting it?
(Give me all of your loving)
Oh, live a bit
(Give me all that you got)

No, live a bit
You've got to live it
(Give me all of your loving)
Ooh, baby live it
(Give me all that you got)
Come on and give it
(Every bit of your loving)
Oh, come on and give it
(Never want it to stop)

Oh, are you getting it?

Ooh, really getting it?

He ain't never gonna be the same.

Run away, run away from the pain yeah, yeah

Now everybody is on the run
Janie's got a gun

I lie awake and dread the lonely nights
I'm not alone
I wonder if these heavy eyes
Can face the unknown
When I close my eyes I realize
You'll come my way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together

With the dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
With the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone

I feel the touch comin' over me
I can't explain
I hear the voices callin' out
Callin' my name
It's the same desire to feel the fire
That's comin' your way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together

With the dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
With the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
With the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone

Sweet revenge, the bitter end
This time
Break the spell of illusion
Bound together waiting for you

Dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
With the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
With the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
With the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors, forever
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors

Wait, wait
I never had a chance to love you
Now I only wanna say I love you one more time

Wait just a moment before our love will die
Cause I must know the reason why we say goodbye
Wait just a moment and tell me why
'Cause I can show you loving that you won't deny

Wait and show your loving like it was before
Cause I won't let that feeling walk out through the door
Yeah wait just a moment and try once more
Cause babe I need to hold you like I did before

So if you go away I know that I will follow
Cause there's a place inside my heart that tells me
Hold out, hold out, hold out

Wait - wait
I never had a chance to love you
Wait - wait
If only our love could show you
Wait - wait
I never wanna be without you
Wait - wait
No I never had a chance to love you
Now I only wanna say I love you
One more time

[Solo]

Wait - wait
I never had a chance to love you
Wait - wait
If only our love could show you
Wait - wait
I never wanna be without you
Wait - wait
No I never had a chance to love you
Now I only wanna say I love you
Wait...

I can't believe I could've been so blind, but love is strange
I thought about it for a long, long time, but the truth remains
I don't need another lonely night to dry my tears
The answer's plain as black and white, and I can see the picture very clear...

I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl
I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why, I gotta say goodbye!

It isn't like you never had the chance to change your tune
Did you think that I'm a dime a dance, well the dance is through
I've been doing things your way too long, well, baby that's over! (Baby that's over)
It won't be easy, but I gotta be strong, and if I wanna cry I won't need your shoulder

I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl
I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why, I gotta say goodbye!

I'll find someone else, who's nothing like you
And two can play the game as well
And you're gonna be sorry, baby, when it's over!

I've been doing things your way too long, baby that's over! (Baby that's over)
It won't be easy, but I got to be strong, and if I wanna cry I won't need your shoulder

I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl
I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why, I gotta say goodbye!
I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why, I gotta say goodbye!
I've been living on the edge of a broken heart

Well I see him on the TV preachin' 'bout the promised lands
He tells me to believe in Jesus
And steals the money from my hands
Some say he was a good man
But Lord I think he sinned, yeah

Twenty-two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his country didn't want him back

Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
In a time I don't remember, in a war he can't forget
He cried "Forgive me for what I've done there
Cause I never meant the things I did"

[Chorus:]
And give me something to believe in if there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in Oh, Lord arise

My best friend died a lonely man
In some Palm Springs hotel room
I got the call last Christmas Eve
And they told me the news

I tried all night not to break down and cry
As the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
Like a lost soul out of place
And the mirror mirror on the wall sees my smile it fades again

[Chorus]

Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then road you gotta take me home

I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
Like bodies in an open grave
Underneath the broken old neon sign
That used to read JESUS SAVES

A mile away live the rich folks
And I see how they're living it up
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich is drinking from a golden cup

And it just makes me wonder why so many lose, so few win

[Chorus]

You take the high road and I'll take the low road

Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then
And give me something to believe in

don't wanna hear about it anymore
It's a shame I've got to live without you anymore
There's a fire in my heart
A pounding in my brain
It's driving me crazy

We don't need to talk about it anymore
Yesterday's just a memory
Can we close the door

I just made one mistake
I didn't know what to say
When you called me baby

Don't say goodnight
Say you're gonna stay forever
Oh, whoa, all the way

Can you take me high enough
To fly me over (fly me over) yesterday
Can you take me high enough
It's never over
Yesterday's just a memory
(Yesterday's just a memory and)

I don't want to live without you anymore
Can't you see I'm in misery
And you know for sure
I would live and die for you
And I'd know just what to do when you call me baby

Don't say goodbye
Say you're gonna stay forever
Oh, whoa, all the way

Can you take me high enough
Can you fly me over (fly me over) yesterday
Can you take me high enough
It's never over
Yesterday's just a memory

I'm running
I was running for the door
The next thing I remember
I was running back for more, yeah

Don't say goodbye
Say you're gonna stay forever
Oh, whoa, all the way (all the way, all the way, yeah)

Can you take me high enough
Can you fly me over (fly me over) yesterday
Can you take me high enough
It's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa

Can you take me high enough
Won't you fly me over (won't you fly me over) yesterday
Can you take me high enough
It's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa
