The Game (1980)


1. Play The Game

Open up your mind and let me step inside
Rest your weary head and let your heart decide
It's so easy when you know the rules
It's so easy, all you have to do is fall in love
Play the game, everybody play the game of love
When you're feelin down and your resistance is low
Light another cigarrette and let yourself go
This is your life, don't play hard to get
It's a free world
All you have to do is fall in love
Play the game, everybody play the game of love
My game of love has just begun
Love runs from my head down to my toes
My love is pumpin through my veins
Driving me insane
Come come come come play the game, play the game, play the game, play the game
Play the game, everybody play the game of love

This is your life - don't play hard to get
It's a free world all you have to do is fall in love
Play the game
Play the game of love

This is your life - don't play hard to get
It's a free world all you have to do is fall in love
Play the game
Play the game of love


2. Dragon Attack

Take me to the room where the red's all red
Take me out of my head's what I said
Take me to the room where the green's all green
And from what I've seen it's hot, it's mean

Gonna use my stack
It's gotta be Mack
Gonna get me on the track
Got a dragon on my back

Take me to the room where the beat's all round
Gonna eat that sound, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Take me to the room where the blacks all white
And the white's all black, take me back to the shack
Jack

She don't take no prisoners
Gonna give me the business
Got a dragon on my back
It's a dragon attack

She's low down-She don't take no prisoners
Go down-Gonna give me the business
No time-Yeah chained to the rack
Show time-Got a dragon on my back
Show down-Go find another customer
Slow down-I gotta make my way
On my way
On my way


3. Another One Bites The Dust

Steve walks wearily down the street with his brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet, machine guns ready to go

Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm gonna get along without you when your gone
You took me for everything that I had, and kicked me out on my own

Are you happy are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat. Look Out!

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Ooh shoot out

There are plenty of way that you can hurt a man, and bring him to the ground
You can beat him you can cheat him you can treat him bad and leave him when he's down
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Shoot Out!


4. Need Your Loving Tonight

No I'll never, look back in anger
No I'll never, find me an answer
You promised me you'd keep in touch
I read your letter and it hurt me so much
I said I'd never, never be angry with you

I don't wanna feel like a stranger
Cause I'd rather stay out of danger
I read your letter so many times
I got your meaning between the lines
I said I'd never, never be angry with you

I must be strong so she won't know how much I miss her
I only hope as time goes on, I'll forget her
My body's aching, can't sleep at night
I'm too exhausted to start a fight
And if I see her with another guy
I'll eat my heart out cause I love her, love her, love her, love her

Come on baby, lets get together
I'll love you baby, I'll love you forever
I'm trying hard to stay away
What made you change, what did I say?
Ooh I need your loving tonight

Ooh I need your loving
Ooh I need your loving
Ooh I need your loving tonight

Ooh I need your loving tonight

No I'll never, look back in anger
No I'll never, find me an answer
Gave me no warning, how could I guess
I guess I'll have to learn to forgive and forget

Ooh I need your loving
Ooh I need your loving
Ooh I need your loving tonight


5. Crazy Little Thing Called Love

This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love

This thing (this thing) called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby) in a cradle all night
It swings (woo woo) it jives (woo woo)
It shakes all over like a jellyfish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to rock'n'roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
Get on my track's
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
Get on my track's
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready (Ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love

8. Sail Away Sweet Sister

Hey little baby you're changing
Babe are you feeling sore?
It ain't no use in pretending
You don't wanna play no more

It's plain that you ain't no baby
What would your mother say
You're all dressed up like a lady
How come you behave this way

Sail away sweet sister
Sail across the sea
Maybe you'll find somebody
To love you half as much as me
My heart is always with you
No matter what you do
Sail away sweet sister
I'll always be in love with you

Forgive me for what I told you
My heart makes a fool of me
You know I'll never hold you
I know that you gotta be free

Sail away sweet sister
Sail across the sea
Maybe you'll find somebody
To love you half as much as me
Take it the way you want it
But when they let you down my friend
Sail away sweet sister
Back to my arms again

Hot child don't you know, you're young, you got your whole life ahead of you
And you can throw it away too soon
Way too soon

Sail away sweet sister
Sail across the sea
Maybe you'll find somebody
Who's gonna love you half as much as me
My heart is always with you
No matter what you do
Sail away sweet sister
I'll always be in love with you


9. Coming Soon

Oooooooooo,Oooooooooo
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I get some headaches when I hit the heights
Like in the morning after crazy nights
Like some mother-in-law in her nylon tights
They're always
They're always
They're always
They're always
Coming soon
Coming soon, on the outside, of the tracks, you take'em
The same old babies with the same old toys
The neighbors screaming when the noise annoys
Somebody naggin you when you're out with the boys
They're always
They're always
They're always
They're always
Coming soon
Coming soon, on the outside of the track
Yeah, yeah, yeah
They're always
They're always
They're always
They're always
Coming soon
Coming soon, on the outside of the track
Coming soon
Coming soon, on the outside of the track
Yeah, yeah, yeah


10. Save Me

It started off so well
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in you glory and your love
How I loved you, how I cried
The years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived the lie
"I love you 'till I die"

Save Me
Save Me
Save Me
I can't face this life alone
Save me, save me, save me
I'm naked and I'm far from home

The slate will soon be clean
I'll erase the memories
To start again with somebody new
Was it all wasted, all that love?
I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent

Save Me
Save Me
Save Me
I can't face this life alone
Save me, save me, oh
I'm naked and I'm far from home

Each night I cry, I still believe the lie
I love you 'till I die

Save me, save me, oh yeah
Save me, save me, oh save me
Don't let me face this life alone
Save me, save me, oh
I'm naked and I'm far from home
