We Are the Hungry Ones On a Lightning Raid

Posted on 2021/11/26 by Chad Philip

Animal (track 03 from the Hysteria LP by Def Leppard )

A wild ride over stony ground
Such a lust for life
The circus comes to town
We are the hungry ones on a lightning raid
Just like a river runs—like a fire needs flame—I burn for you

I’ve got to feel it in my blood
I need your touch
I need your love

And I want
And I need
And I lust
Animal

I cry wolf to feel the mouth to mouth
Like a moving heartbeat in the witching hour
I’m running with the wind
I’m a shadow in the dust
And like the driving rain—like the restless rust—I never sleep

I’ve got to feel it in my blood
I need your touch
I need your love

And I want
And I need
And I lust
Animal

Cry wolf
Cry tough
Gonna hunt you like an animal
Gonna take your love and run

I’ve got to feel it in my blood
I need your touch
I need your love

And I want
And I need
And I lust
Animal

Heaven Helps Those Who Help Themselves

Lights Out (track 04 from the eponymous LP by UFO )

Wind blows back and the batons charging
It winds all the way
Right to the butt of my gun
Maybe now your time has come

From the back streets there is a rumbling and smell of anarchy
No more nice time, bright-boy shoe shines
Pie in the sky dreams

Lights out in London
Hold on tight until the end
Better now you know we’ll never wait until tomorrow
Lights out in London
Hold on tight until the end
God knows when I’m coming on my run

Heaven helps those who help themselves, that’s the way it goes
The frightening thoughts of what’s been taught, and now it shows

Lights out in London
Hold on tight until the end
Better now you know we’ll never wait until tomorrow
Lights out in London
Hold on tight until the end
God knows when I’m coming on my run

You keep coming
There is no running
Tried a thousand times
Under your feet grass is growing
It’s time we said goodbye

Lights out in London
Hold on tight until the end
Better now you know we’ll never wait until tomorrow
Lights out in London
Hold on tight until the end
God knows when I’m coming on my run

It can’t be a bad day when a UFO classic gets major American radio airplay in 2021. Cheers @houseofhair .

I’ll Wait (track 07 from the 1984 LP by Van Halen )

You’ve got me captured, I’m under your spell
I guess I’ll never learn
I have your picture, yes I know it well
Another page is turned
Are you for real?
It’s so hard to tell from just a magazine
You just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me

I’ll wait until your love comes down
I’m coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now, as fine as you are

I wrote a letter and told her these words—that meant a lot to me
I never sent it because she wouldn’t have heard
Her eyes don’t follow me
And while she watches I can never be free
Such good photography

I’ll wait until your love comes down
I’m coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now, as fine as you are

You can’t imagine what your image means
The pages come alive
Your magic greeting everyone who reads
Heartbreak in overdrive
Are you for real?
It’s so hard to tell from just a magazine
You just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me

I’ll wait until your love comes down
I’m coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now, as fine as you are
