### Bad Company (1974)

* Well, I take whatever I want, And baby, I want you. You give me something I need; Now tell me I got something for you.Come on, come on, come on and do it. Come on and-uh do what you do. I can't get enough of your love. I can't get enough of your love.
** Can't Get Enough, written by Mick Ralphs
* Company, always on the run. Destiny, mmm, is a rising sun. Oh, I was born six-gun in my hand. Behind a gun, I make my final stand, hey. It's why they call meBad company and I can't deny. Bad company 'til the day I die. Oh, 'til the day I die. 'Til the day I die.
** Bad Company, written by Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke
* I get up in the morning and it's just another day. Pack up my belongings, I've got to get away. Jump into a taxi and the time is gettin' tight. I got to keep on movin' I got a show tonight.And I'm movin' on, movin' on from town to town. Movin' on, baby, yeah I'm never touchin' the ground.
** Movin' On, written by Mick Ralphs

### Straight Shooter (1975)

* If I hear you knocking hard up on my door, Ain't no way that I'm gonna answer it. 'Cos cheating is one thing and lying is another, And when I say it's over that's it I'm gonna quit, yeah.Now I ain't complaining, just tryin' to understand. What makes a woman do the things she does? One day she'll love you the next day she'll leave you. Why can't we have it just the way it used to be?
** Good Lovin' Gone Bad, written by Mick Ralphs
* Baby, when I think about you, I think about love. Darlin', don't wanna live without you And your love. If I had, those golden dreams Of my yesterdays I would wrap you, in the heaven 'Til I'm dyin' (dyin', dyin',) On the way.Feel like makin', Feel like makin' love.
** Feel Like Makin' Love, written by Paul Rodgers and Mick Ralphs
* Johnny told his mama, "Hey, Mama, I'm goin' away. I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday." Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye. Johnny said, "Don't cry, Mama," smiled and waved good-bye.Don't you know, yeah yeah. Don't you know that you are a shooting star? Don't you know, don't you know. Don't you know that you are a shooting star? And all the world will love you just as long As long as you are.
** Shooting Star

### Run with the Pack (1976)

* Well, the first time that I met you, you were only seventeen. But I had to put you down, 'Cause I didn't know where you'd been. You had a long black dress, your hair in a mess. You didn't seem to have no class, but the look on Your face was no disgrace, I knew I had to move real fast.Honey Child, don't you know you drive me wild! Oh, Honey Child. Don't you know you drive me wild! Just about to lose my mind.
** Honey Child, written by Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs, Boz Burrell, and Simon Kirke
* You never give me my money, You only give me your sympathy. 'Cause I keep on running, There's no way to catch up with me. I'm leaving you, don't make no fuss; You won't even see me, oh no, for dust.I'm running with the pack, Running with the pack. I'm running with the pack; Never looking back.
** Run With the Pack

### Burnin' Sky (1977)

* The sky is burnin'. I believe my soul's on fire. You are, I'm learnin', the key to my desire.
** Burnin' Sky

### Desolation Angels (1979)

* Here come the dancers, one by one; Your momma's callin' but you're having fun. You find your dancin' on the number 9 cloud; Put your hands together now, and sing it out loud.It's all part of my rock and roll fantasy. It's all part of my rock and roll dream.
** Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy

### Rough Diamonds (1982)

* The neon lights go flashing by, Electricland is in my eyes. The underworld is on the move And everybody's got something to prove.
** Electricland
