Some Like It Hot

We want to multiply, are you gonna do?
I know you qualify, are you gonna do?
Don't be so circumscribe, are you gonna do it?
Just get yourself untied, are you gonna do it?

Feel the heat, pushing you to decide
Feel the heat, burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot, so lets turn up the heat 'til we fry

The girl is at your side, are you gonna do?
She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it?
She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it?
I know you won't be satisfied, until you do it!

Feel the heat, pushing you to decide
Feel the heat, burning you up, ready or not

(chorus)

Feel the heat, pushing you to decide
Feel the heat, burning you up, ready or not

(chorus)

Some like it hot... some like it hot
Some like it hot... some like it hot
Some like it hot... some like it hot
Some like it hot... some like it hot!

Murderess

She says your money's safe
You needn't keep your head down
Now who's kidding who?
Her picture's all over town

I always knew that she was on the run
I read the paper are it said so
I know you like them to be troublesome
Take it to the maximun

She's a murderess, murderer
She likes to go for the jugular
Murderess, murderer
That woman of yours is a killer

I heard his breath escape
She left the gun on the floor
He left his key with me
I hadn't been there before

I always knew that she was on the run
I read the paper are it said so
I know you like them to be troublesome
Take it to the maximun

(chorus)

She says she's innocent
She says she's your 'baby face'
Ah who's kidding who?
Your things are in a suitcase

I always knew that she was on the run
I read the paper are it said so
I know you like them to be troublesome
Take it to the maximun

(chorus)

Lonely Tonight

Lonely tonight, lonely tonight, lonely tonight, lonely tonight
Lonely tonight, lonely tonight, lonely tonight, lonely tonight

We're enchanted, struck by lightning
What can we do when the feeling's so exciting?
We just ran into each other
Now we can't refuse, 'cos the night is so inviting
You sure took me by surprise, I ain't fooling

Everything was synchronized in a movement
When I met you, I knew there was a reason
Every moment that we've shared guarantees it

We.. We won't be lonely tonight
Must be miles ago since we first said "hello"
We. We won't let us out of our sights
Passion has to grow, darling because we know
Riding our tide, luck is with us
No risk to take, when we've got so much to give us
Fate's on our sidem it's our moment
We're getting warm, 'cos we give each other shivers

Yeah, let's keep the fire alight
Nothing can go wrong, we're together for now on
Oh, all the love we excite
Loneliness has gone, did it take us so long
Can't remember life without your music
Oh, there never was a doubt, don't we prove it?
You sure took me by surprise, I ain't fooling
Everything is synchronized in a movement

We're enchanted, stuck by lightning
What can we do when the feeling's so exciting?
We just ran into each other
Now we can't refuse, 'cos the night is so inviting

We won't be lonely tonight
Must be miles ago since we first said "hello"
We won't let us out of our sights
Passion has to grow, darling because we know
Yeah, let's keep the fire alight
Nothing can go wrong, we're together for now on
Oh, all the love we excite
Loneliness has gone, did it take us so long...

Communication

Airmail, cassettes... postcards, telex
Drop me a line, be my grapevine
I'm always trying to reach you, can't get through
Our communication depends on me and you
Got to stay in touch even though we're on the move
Keep your lines open, say, what's new
Exchange the facts, keep in contact
I keep on trying to call you but I can't get through
Our communication must get through

Communication... don't hang up
Communication... keep in touch
Communication... don't put me on hold
Situation... soul to soul

Send word, stay tuned, call me real soon
Every time I phone you, you're not home
We've got to stay in touch on the telephone
I keep on trying to reach you
But I can't get through
Our communication must get through

Communication... baby, talk to me
Communication... information, please
Communication... don't put me on hold
Situation... soul to soul

Communication... don't hang up
Communication... keep in touch
Communication... don't put me on hold
Situation... soul to soul

Communication... baby, talk to me
Communication... information, please
Communication... don't put me on hold
Situation... soul to soul

Communication... baby, don't hang up
Communication... keep in touch
Communication... don't put me on hold
Situation... soul to soul

Communication... baby, talk to me
Communication... information, please
Communication... don't put me on hold
Situation... soul to soul

Communication... Ahh, don't hang up...

Get It On (Bang A Gong)

Well you're dirty and sweet
Clad in black,
Don't look back,
And I love you,
You're dirty and sweet oh yeah
Well you're slim and you're weak
You got the teeth
Of the hydra upon you
You're dirty sweet
And you're my girl

Get it on...
Bang a gong... get it on
Get it on...
Bang a gong... get it on

You're built like a car
You got a hubcap Diamond star halo
You're built like a truck, oh my
You're an untamed youth
That's the truth
With your cloak full of eagles
You're dirty sweet And you're my girl

(chorus)

Well you're windy and wild
You got the blues -
I'm in your shoes and your stockings
You're windy and wild, oh yeah

You're built like a car
You got a hubcap -
Diamond star halo
You're dirty sweet
And you're my girl

(chorus)

Go To Zero

Hey, hey on your marks, get set go to zero
Present and correct go to zero
North, South, East and West go to zero
Nothing is best go to zero

I do this and I do that, and when it's cold, I wear a hat,
It's mostly cold
It pays to advertise thay say, I'll keep my hat on anyway
Or so I'm told

When you're on patrol go to zero
By remote control go to zero
Forward, pause, return go to zero
All roads lead astern go to zero

(chorus)

When you miss your cue go to zero
Start the dance, anew go to zero
Black, red, white and blue go to zero

When you lose the one go to zero
Rewind can be fun go to zero
Nudge it left and right go to zero
Don't wait 'til tonight go to zero

Go to Zero! (chorus)

(Go to Zero)

Everywhere you go go to zero
Nough is apropos go to zero
North, South, East and West go to zero
Nothing is Best go to zero

Harvest For The World

All babies together
Ev'ry one a seed
Half of us are satisfied
The other half of us in need
Love's bountiful in us
Tarnished by our greed

Oh, when will there be a harvest... for the world?
(Harvest for the world)

A nations planted
So concerned with gain
As the seasons come and go, we won't wait in vain
Far too many, feelin' the strain

(chorus)

(A harvest... A harvest)
(A harvest... A harvest)
(A harvest... A harvest)
(A harvest... A harvest)
(A harvest... A harvest)

Dress me up for battle
When all I want is peace
Those of us who pay the price
Come home with the least
And nation after nation, tuning into beasts

(chorus)

When will there be... a harvest...

Still In Your Heart

The night you met, it was a magic start
All the connections were made in your heart
Following you everywhere, you could feel her eyes -
A glimpse of somebody, takes you by surprise

Another place and day, now where's she gone?
You can't forget her face, or things you left undone
Re-run memories from the start -
The time has flown
All the time you've been appart
And she's still in your heart

Try as you might the recollections stay
Like a photographic memory of each day
You can feel her by your side in an empty room -
And words like 'forever', you spoke too soon

Another place and day, now where's she gone?
You can't forget her face, or things you wish you'd done
Re-run memories from the start -
The time has flown
Where's end ending and the start?
Is she still in your heart?

We Fight For Love

I will protect you
Nothing can hurt you
No storm clouds gathering terrify

I am a mountain
Surrounded by your love
You are a fountain that dreams are made of

We fight for love
We fight for love
Fight for love

Somewhere
Somehow
Someone

Somewhere
Somehow
sSomeone

I fight with fire
As I watch them conspire
To blow my world apart

Between the light
And the endless night
You will always be in my heart

We fight for love
We fight for love
Fight for love
We fight for love

Somewhere
Somehow
Someone...
