Lyrics
CITY LIGHTS
D.Ainasoja/D.Ainasoja
Solo: Tom
It’s close to nighttime
Out on the street
Goin’ for prime time
Checkin’ out on the scene
The band is playin’
that same old song
And the ladies lookin’
like they used to
But that’s what I like
It’s what it’s all about
And when they get it on
It turns me on
Let’s spend another night
In these city lights
Goin’ for another place
With much lighter pace
Soul music easin’ out
Otis just hittin’ right
The DJ’s playin
that same old song
And the ladies lookin’
like they used to
But that’s what I like
It’s what it’s all about
And when they get it on...
We’re on the street again
In an early mornin’ atmosphere
People hangin’ ‘round
Lovin’ with no unwanted bound
The birds are singing
that same old song
And the ladies lookin’
like they used to
But that’s what I like
That’s what it’s all about
And when they get it on...

DON’T GET UPTIGHT
D.Ainasoja/D.Ainasoja
Solo: Tom
Rhodes: Mats Granfors
Tastes like honey, always funny
All alone, nobody home
Makin’ a mess, need to confess
For the man she’s waiting for
But the hours starts
running away
Nothing to do, stuck on you
These times she’s gettin’ so blue
Baby, don’t get uptight
It’s gonna be alright
Baby, don’t get uptight
I’m comin home tonight
Last days,
been workin’ like a dog
Coming home late,
my mind in a fog
Hungry and cold, tired and old
Ain’t no chance,
that I’ll do what I’m told
Baby, don’t get uptight...
Gone away for miles,
chasin’ the lights
Turnin’ home, back from the tiles
Get the heat on,
hard as it seems
Gotta sit down, blow off some steam
Baby, don’t get uptight...

OLD ROCK’N’ROLL STAR
D.Ainasoja/D.Ainasoja
Solo: Daniel
Piano & organ: Mats Granfors
I’ve always liked big
money and cars
I’ve always liked
big shinin’ guitars
I’ve always liked
those women and bars
I’d like to be an
old rock’n roll star, yeah
My baby left me, a long time ago
She didn’t care for
my rock’n’roll shows
But I don’t need her, anymore
Cause everybody seems to open their doors, yeah
Well, I’m goin’ babe
and I want more
Come on baby,
this is rock’n roll, yeah
Me and the boys went
out on the road
Drove down south
in an old Plymouth
Came to the big town
and put on a show
As we got goin’ I could feel that glow, yeah
Well, I’m goin’ babe
and I want more
Come on baby, this is rock’n’roll, yeah
I’ve always liked big
money and cars
I’ve always liked big
shinin’ guitars
I’ve always liked
those women and bars
I’d like to be an
old rock’n’roll star, yeah
Well, I’m goin’ babe
and I want more
Come on baby, this is rock’n’roll, yeah
Well, I’m goin’ babe
and I want more
Come on baby, this is rock’n’roll, yeah

WE STARTED OUT
D.Ainasoja/D.Ainasoja
Solo: Daniel
Organ: Mats Granfors
We started out
To scream and shout
When they took our rock’n’roll music away
That we can’t live without
So we got it down
What we’d heard around
Chasin’ the riffs
and pickin’ the licks
Buildin’ up the sound
Come on you young people
You’re growin old
Come on you stiff steeple
Your babe is gettin’ cold
Jump up, start your diesels
Your dancin shoes
Hey, you’ve got no excuse
Whoa, and no time to loose
You know the songs
They can’t be wrong
Whenever you’d like to get the feelin’ on
You just put ‘em on
It will shake your leg
And it will bruise your head
You know you’ve been rockin’
When your mama is knockin’
And your legs are spread
Come on young people...
We got it made
The price is paid
Baby, you know,
that this is a show
That can’t complicate
We started out
To scream and shout
When they took our rock’n’roll music away
That we can’t live without
Come on young people...

BEEN HAD
T.Forsman, D.Ainasoja/T.Forsman
Sax: Conny Sundman
Trumpet: Jan-Anders Fagerhed
Steel: Johan Engström
You tried so hard
to be yourself
Gave it your everything
didn’t go too well
We all make wrong turns
and you made yours
Got lost a little while
slipped by my door
Don’t feel bad about it
I’ll do that for you anytime
Don’t feel sad about it
You’ve been had and so have I
You’re so young
but there ain’t no time to cry
You had your share
couldn’t give ’em up
I gave you more from my
poisoned lovin’ cup
I’ve worn out my soul
a long time ago
If you can’t build it up
you gotta let it go
Don’t feel...
We all make wrong turns
and you made yours
Got lost a little while
slipped by my door
Don’t feel...

LATELY
D.Ainasoja/D.Ainasoja
Solo: Daniel
Organ: Mats Granfors
Lately
I’ve been out lately
Standin’ on stages
Slightly out of tune
Been here since the fifties
Seen the blues drift in
I ran to the river
Writing my songs
Suddenly, the world
became shadows
My soul, seemed to be gone
Lately
I’ve been out playin’
Jumpin’ and wailin’
But the thrill is gone
Mornings
How I hate them mornings
When life is over
And everything’s wrong
Save me
You can still save me
Playin’ your heart out
Knockin’ your love
Suddenly, the world
became shadows
Your soul, seemed to be gone
Lately
My poor heart’s been lonely
And I am bleedin’
Still needin’ your love
¬ back to top
I LIKE IT THAT WAY
D.Ainasoja/D.Ainasoja
Solo: Daniel
Piano: Mats Granfors
Something’s waiting to happen
In this place
That will heat up the pace
It might get rough,
like the last time
It might get tough,
something’s on the line
Somebody’s gonna stand up, pick a fight
Turn this place into a city sight
Hey, I like it that way
Hey, I like it that way
And that’s the way it’s gonna be
In these dark rooms
You can’t tell
If you’re in heaven or hell
One step left, two steps right
Chasin’ that girl
might get you a black eye
Then the lady
down on the street
Has got more glamour than me
Hey, I like it that way...
Again I’m in the crossfire
Of the good and the bad
It just drives me mad
Who’s right or wrong,
who might be free
Maybe Miss Fortune
gets the hots for me
One billion dollar
won’t be enough
If not everybody’s
got the right to speak up
Hey, I like it that way...

SMOKIN’ HEAT
D.Ainasoja/D.Ainasoja
Solo: Tom
Ridin’ my charger, around town
The challenge’s gettin harder, all of the time
Got my sweet girl,
in the passenger seat
The motor is runnin’,
buildin’ some heat
Head up, feet down,
we’re beatin’ the street
We kick the smokin’ heat
I’m kickin high, I’m
on a live wire
Burnin the sky,
and my wheels are on fire
Goin’ for the second heat, warmin’ the tyres
Hot glue on the street and the oil is on fire
Head up, feet down,
we’re beatin’ the street
We kick the smokin’ heat
Come baby, ridin’ into
the night
My sharpshooter
is loaded up tight
Straight forward
and I’ll put on the light
My baby’s comin
when the time is right
The heat
We kick the smokin’ heat
Checkin’ around,
hearin’ the sound
Of motors runnin’,
so smooth and fine
Smellin’ gasoline,
dirty young boy
Tinkering fellow,
playin’ with toys
Head up, feet down,
we’re beatin’ the street
We kick the smokin’ heat
We kick the smokin’ heat
Yeah

I’LL BE BACK AGAIN
D.Ainasoja/D.Ainasoja
Solo: Tom
It’s gettin late
I ain’t got no date
I’m at the same old place
Can’t see no pretty face
I’m used to this
You know how it is
I’m out of love again
I’m waiting for my friend
I might find someone
And stay forever young
If it won’t be, then you will see
I’ll be back again
My baby left me
Cause I couldn’t please
I was a broken man
But now I’m up again
I ain’t the only one
And I know when I’m done
Let’s take another round
I know you will be found
I can find someone
And stay forever young
If it won’t be, then you will see
I’ll be back again
But I don’t care
Until I die I dare
I know my heart will win
I’ll find my love again
I might be messin’ ‘round
I might lay on the ground
But I’ll kick some ass
And then I’ll have a gas
I will find someone
And stay forever young
If it won’t be, then you will see
I’ll be back again

YUCCA MOUNTAIN
T.Forsman, D.Ainasoja/T.Forsman
Solo: Daniel
Piano: Mats Granfors
I’ve seen the loads
rollin’ down the hill
I’ve seen the sign,
know who’s payin the bill
Well I’ve seen the hole,
six seven miles deep
Know who’s the winner,
know who’s the creep
Don’t need a fortuneteller to see
who’s at stake in this jeopardy
Yucca Mountain is
rockin’ and rollin’
Yucca Mountain is
rockin’ and rollin’
Better move your feet
get up goin’
Yucca Mountain is
rockin’ and rollin’
The ground is shakin’
The earth is quakin’
No time to loose, come on, come on
Yucca Mountain is
rockin’ and rollin’
You’ll have money
flowin’ outta’ the rift
You’ll be gone
when the land starts a’drift
You’re a big spender
in human life
Hot as a gun, sharp as a knife
Don’t need a brain baby,
only a heart
To see who’s the loser
right from the start
Yucca Mountain is rockin’...
People spent sweat here
from day one
Layin’ sound asleep
when the day is done
Late one night
awoken from the sound
When that old mountain starts movin the ground
Don’t be stupid don’t be blind
The end of days
wears a dollar sign
Yucca Mountain is rockin’...

YOU MUST BE THE ONE
D.Ainasoja/D.Ainasoja
Solo: Tom
Organ: Mats Granfors
You accuse me of lovin’
And you say that I’m goin’ blind
You accuse me of lovin’
But you don’t seem to mind
I remember when I met you
It was back in ‘72
And I remember when you said
That you love me too
Cause I know baby
That you’re my kind of girl
And I know baby
That you want my love
I remember when you said
That you love me too
You must be the one
Now when we get on vacation
We’re goin’ to see the sun
Now when we get on vacation
We’re gonna be on the run
Cause I know baby
That you’re my kind of girl
And I know baby
That you want my love
Now when we get on vacation
We’re gonna be on the run
You must be the one
I’ll be waiting on you
Smokin’ my cigar
Celebratin’ our relationship
Seems we’re goin far
And I know baby
That you’re my kind of girl
And I know baby
That you want my love
You accuse me of lovin
But you don’t seem to mind
You must be the one

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
D.Ainasoja/D.Ainasoja
Steel: Johan Engström
Drums: Tom
Sittin here thinkin’ ‘bout you
And the things that you do
This is the time of season
When my dream has come true
Can’t think of a life
without you
It would be so sad
Cause you’re the most beautiful
I’ve ever had
Remember when we
were fighting
Playing our games
I know you were
pullin’ me right in
Into your frames
Can’t think of a life
without you...
Soon as I’m around you
Something’s happening to me
I’m gettin’ young, happy and wild
Runnin’ like a fool over town
With you by my side
I’m just feelin’ like
the king of the night
Imagine that we were aging
Like some people do
Suppose that we
would be makin’
A life out of the blue
Can’t think of a life
without you...

I WANT TO HOLD YOU 2,24
D.Ainasoja/D.Ainasoja
Organ: Mats Granfors
I want to hold you
All the day and all of the night
I guess I’ve told you
How I feel about you
You are my sunshine
My life, my love,
my darling so kind
You’ll bring me good times
And make me feel so fine
When I walk you home
I’m feelin’ so alone
When I’m on my own
I easily get so blue
Thinkin’ ‘bout you
And I feel so lonely
I want to love you
Like I do baby all of the time
You say you love me
I’m so glad you’re mine
When I walk you home...
I want to hold you
All the day and all of the night
I guess I’ve told you
How I feel about you
When I walk you home...
