OK, someone asked me for them, so I'll post these before y'all start flooding
my mailbox for requests a week at a time and force me to type them all out
hundreds of times individually. 

HIGH 'N' DRY (SATURADY NIGHT) (Clark, Savage, Elliot)
A Saturday, I feel right, I've been drinking all day
Yes I got a date, a midnight ride, I had to get it away

Yeah, I'm not a loner, I'm not a fool
Don't need a reason to be cool
I got my whiskey, I got my wine
I got my woman and this time the lights are going out
(Saturady Night)
High
(Saturday Night)
High and dry
(Saturday night)
I'm high
(Saturday night)
High and dry

I feel bad, I feel mean
I'm up and down and in between
On the bottle, I'm on the line
I'm up and feelin' fine

Oh...

A Saturday, kickin' out, I'll take what's comin' to me
Gotta move, Number one, Saturday night on the run
(Saturday night)
High
(Saturday night)
High and dry
(Saturday night)
(Saturday night)
(Saturday night)
(Saturday night)
High and dry
You got it comin' tonight

ANOTHER HIT AND RUN (Savage, Elliot)
Union Jack is back with a hole in his head
He's gettin' badly burned ev'ry time
He's laughin' at me and dancin' on my sneakers
And his sixties songs are blowin' up my speakers

I say: You got no repect
Respect for authority
You just plan your dirty tricks
And then come cryin' to me
Hit and run
Hit and run
Hit and run
Another hit and run

Bulldog's lost his bite and his breath has gone bad
Now the whole damn world is really laughing mad

I say: You got no respect
Respect for authority
You just plan your dirty tricks
And then come cryin' to me
Hit and run
Hit and run
Hit and run
Another hit and run

Oh bring it down
Oh bring it down
I said you ain't got no respect
I said you ain't got no respect
No, you ain't got no respect
And you hit me when I'm down

Hit and run
Hit and run
Hit and run
Hit and run
Hit and run
Hit and run
Hit and run
Hit and run
Hit and run
Hit and run

YOU GOT ME RUNNIN' (Clark, Willis, Elliot)
I don't care too much for your back stabbin' and side steppin'
You're all sweet talk, you're all lust, you're the kind, yeah, I don't trust
I've got to get out, step aside, before you damage my pride
Let me thru, don't spoil my view, I gotta get away, away from you

Oh, no, no, never thought I'd feel so low
You got me runnin', you got me runnin', but I ain't gonna hide
And yesterday, ev'rything seemed OK, yeah you'd better run and hide away
Oh, you'd better hide

Yeah, I'm out on the street, but I'm back on my feet
I'm not a loser, so get wise, stop your usin' and your lies
Out my friend, don't stick around, your time is up and the chips are down
Let me thru, don't spoil my view, I gotta get away, away from you

Oh, no, no, never thought I'd feel so low
You got me runnin', you got me runnin' but I ain't gonna hide
And yesterday, ev'rything seemed OK, yeah you'd better run and hide away
Oh, you'd better hide

You've got me runnin' (You've got me runnin')
You've got me runnin' (You've got me runnin')
You've got me runnin' (You've got me runnin')
You've got me runnin' runnin'

Oh, no, no, never thought I'd feel so low
You got me runnin' you got me runnin' but I ain't gonna hide
And yesterday, ev'rything seemed OK, yeah you'd better run and hide away
Oh, you'd better hide

You've got me runnin' (You've got me runnin')
You've got me runnin' (You've got me runnin')
You've got me runnin' (You've got me runnin')
You've got me runnin' (You've got me runnin')
Get out! (You've got me runnin')
Just can't live no more (You've got me runnin')
Get out the door (You've got me runnin')
You've got me runnin'

LET IT GO (Willis, Clark, Elliot)
Cool woman with cool eyes
Got me hypnotised
So head down, get rhythm
Stop your stallin' and your bitchin'
I'm rock steady but still shakin'
I'm ready for the takin'
So make your move, yeah make me
And get ready for the big "C"

Let it rock, yeah
Let it roll, ready
Let it go, Let it go

You gotta let it rock
Let it roll
Let it go

Slow down, hold on
You're too fast, too strong
Take it easy, take it slow
Make it last, don't let go
We're one body, it's one way
You're not leavin', you gotta stay
So get down on your knees
And let me know you're eager to please

Let it rock, yeah
Let it roll, ready
Let it go, let it go

You gotta let it rock
Let it roll
Let it go

Let it go
Let it go

Cool woman, cool eyes
You got me hypnotised
Slow down, hold on
You're too fast, too strong

I need a woman, a woman to love
One good woman, and you've got what I want
What I want

Slow down, hold on
You're much too fast, you're much too strong
Take it slow, make it last
Take it easy, not too fast
Don't let go, No!
Rock steady but still shakin'
I'm ready for the takin'
So make your move, yeah make me
And get ready for the big "C"

Let it rock
Let it roll
Let it go

Let it rock
Let it roll
Let it go

Let it rock
Let it roll
Let it go

Let it rock
Let it roll
Let it go

MIRROR, MIRROR (LOOK INTO MY EYES) (Clark, Elliot)
Mirror, mirror, just watching with your eye of glass
You're just a fortune wheel with something that I wanna ask
Mirror, mirror, got my fate lying in your hands
You're the fool, you're the juggler,
Hangman and lover, you're not like no other

(Take a look into my eyes)
Tell me what you see
(Take a look into my eyes)
Tell me is it true?
(Take a look into my eyes)
Oh, when I look at you
(Take a look into my eyes)
Tell me is it me
Is it really me

Mirror, mirror, gotta know just what you see
My crystal ball, you're looking so sly and so sleazy
Mirror, mirror, hanging there with a crack in your eye
You make me stumble, make me blind
Time after time and line by line

(Take a look into my eyes)
Tell me what you see
(Take a look into my eyes)
Tell me is it true
(Take a look into my eyes)
Oh, when I look at you
(Take a look into my eyes)
Tell me is it me

You're the fool, you're the juggler
Hangman and lover, you're not like no other so

(Take a look into my eyes)
Tell me what you see
(Take a look into my eyes)
Tell me is it true
(Take a look into my eyes)
Oh, just couldn't last
(Take a look into my eyes)
Gonna have to smash the glass

(Take a look into my eyes)
(Take a look into my eyes)
(Take a look into my eyes)
(Take a look into my eyes)
(Take a look into my eyes)
(Take a look into my eyes)
(Take a look into my eyes)
Take a look into my eyes
Tell me is it me

LADY STRANGE (Willis, Clark, Allen, Elliot)
I never needed love before till I met you girl
A girl like you I had never seen
You came into my life like a whirlwind girl
You let me know what lovin' really means

Lady Strange, Lady Strange, I want you
Lady STrange, Lady Strange, I need you

You got me where you want, girl, so no messin' 'round
You know I never play that hard to please
I've been there many times before, I've walked this sacred ground
But this time you got me on my knees, you got me

Lady Strange, Lady Strange, I want you
Lady Strange, Lady Strange, I need you
Lady Strange, Lady Strange, I want you
Lady Strange, Lady Strange, I want you
Lady Strange, Lady Strange, I need you

Takin' love from you's like taking candy from a baby
But Lady Strange there is no stranger lady
But just you and me
We make love, good love
You let me know what lovin' really means
What it means

Lady Strange, Lady Strange, I need you
I need you
I want you
Yeah

ON THROUGH THE NIGHT (Savage, Clark, Elliot)
The waitin's done, the battle's won
So count the cost before you run
'Cause on and on with timeless powers
The clock on the wall ticks away the hours
So come on down, you're flying high
You'll never win if you never try
Stop the hate, carry the load
And come on get this show on the road

On thru the night
You can't stop me now
On thru the night
You won't stop me anyhow

The stakes are high, gettin' higher
I'm flat on my face and you call me a liar
I'm watchin' you, you're watchin' me
You're watchin' ev'ry move that I can't see
My  reputation's still at stake
Why play it safe for safety's sake
You read those lines of promises
But in vain again and again

On thru the night
You won't stop me now
On thru the night
You won't stop me anyhow, not anyhow

All you wanna bear is the audience applause
You can't get on stage for a contract clause
And the road ahead seems a little rough
You wanna know my feelings? I'd say that's tough
That's tough

Your wheels ain't turnin', you're out of gas
You pay by check but they take cash
Two roads ahead but which to take?
If you can't see, it's your mistake
They're waitin' for you, they're waitin' for me
In what seems an eternity
It's all tradition, they'll get you yet
In rock'n'roll there's no safety net

On thru the night
You can't stop me now
On thru the night
You can't stop me anyhow
On thru the night
Goin' on and on, on and on
On thru the night
You can't stop me anyhow
Oh, no, not anyhow

NO NO NO (Savage, Willis, Elliot)
She was a foxy rocker, roxy roller, unchained sex machine, yeah
Slippin', slidin', electric glidin', and boy, she was mean, I saud mean
High price dealer, sippin' her tequila, comin' on pretty strong
Real love stealer, rebel rousin' squealer, she said "Go!" but I said "No!"

And I kept sayin' no
No no no no no
And I kept sayin' no
No no no no no

Waiting at the back door, couldn't take it anymore, didn't know where she'd 
	been
She looked pretty neat, turnin' on the heat, and only se se seventeen, 
	seventeen!
Windin' her up, bringin' her down, she wanted it just the same
Said "Stick around" That's when I found I had only myself, myseld to blame

And I kept sayin' no
No no no no no
And I kept sayin no
No no no no no no
High

No no no no no
I kept sayin' no
No no no no no
No no
No no no
I said
No no no
I said
No no
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no 
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no

BRINGIN' ON THE HEARTBREAK (Clark, Willis, Elliot)
Gypsy, sittin' lookin' pretty
A broken rose with laughin' eyes
You're a myst'ry, always runnin' wild
Like a child without a home
You're always searchin', searchin' for a feelin'
But it's easy come and easy go
Oh, I'm sorry but it's true
You're bringin' on the heartache
Takin' all the best of me
Oh can't you see
You got the best of me
Oh, can't you see
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see, oh

You're such a secret, misty eyed and shady
Lady, how you hold the key
You're like a candle, your flame is slowly fading
Burnin' out and burnin' me
Can't you see
Just try'n to say to you
You're bringin' on the heartache
Takin' all the best of me
Oh, can't you see
You got the best of me
Oh, can't you see
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see
Can't you see

No!
No!
No!

You got the best of me
Oh, can't you see
You got the best of me
Oh can't you see
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heatache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak

More coming as I've exceeded my quota again.

"Inside the power cage, I can feel the music call my rage
It's paranoid, first degree. It's telling me that I'm not free.
I've got heavy metal music in my blood and I like to get it to you if I could"
