1. Delivering the Goods

Feeling like we’re, ready to kick tonight.
No hesitating, my bodies aching.
Looking for some action, satisfaction all right.
Charging, vein faced, as active as one-hundred solid proof.
Megaton, Leviathan, we’re ready to hit the roof.

You better watch out and hold on tight.
We’re heading your way like dynamite.
Delivering the goods.
Delivering the goods.

Shake down, rock ’em boys, crack that whip strap mean.
Pulse rate, air waves, battle lies in every place we’ve been.
Stealing your hearts all across the land.
Hot blood doing good, we’re going to load you with our brand.

You better watch out and hold on tight.
We’re heading your way like dynamite.
Delivering the goods.
Delivering the goods.

Have it your way.
Stealing your hearts.

Well we don’t pull no punches, we aim where the crunch is.
Bound to do most damage to your brain.
If you’re looking for it mellow.
you’re nothing more than yellow.
Gonna do it again and again.
We’ll beat you to submission.
So you might as well surrender.
You gotta learn your lesson.
‘Cause there ain’t nobody here to defend your heart.

Faster, higher ’til it seems that we’re gonna break.
Shootin’ further, giving more than you’re ever gonna take.
Leaving your heads, crushed out on the floor.
Begging for mercy, be careful or we’ll do it some more.

You better watch out and hold on tight.
We’re heading your way like dynamite.
Delivering the goods.
Delivering the goods.

2. Rock Forever

When the day is over, I like to ease my mind.
By jucin’ up my system with the beat of a heavy kind.
I smack a bottle open, I crank the Hi-Fi high.
I’m in a seventh heaven, I can touch the sky.

I’m in love, so in love and I can’t stop talking about my rock forever.

It starts to move into me, just how I can’t explain.
It’s like a brilliant sunshine, after standing in the pouring rain.
My skin begins to tingle, right on down my back.
It’s really got me fevered, pounding my senses flat.

I’m in love, so in love and I can’t stop talking about my rock forever.

Rock forever, I love it.
Rock forever, my fever.
Rock forever, always gonna rock forever.
I can’t stop talking about rock.
Now get it right, boys.

So when you get those blue days, here’s just what to do.
Switch into this lifeline and the feelin’ rushin’ through.
Before you know it, blue days are now left behind.
By juicin’ up your system with this beat of a heavy kind.

I’m in love, so in love and I can’t stop talking about my rock forever.

Rock forever, I rock forever.

3. Evening Star

I traveled to a distant shore, I felt I had to go.
An inner voice had called me there but why I did not know.
I saw the evening star rise up, shining out to sea.
Now I understand at last what it means, what it all means.

Evening star, I can see the light.
Evening star guiding me so bright.

I used to tempt fate, I couldn’t see straight.
I faltered through my younger days.
Never knowing where I was going.
Then something helped me penetrate the haze.

Evening star, I can see the light.
Evening star guiding me so bright.

Now I am stronger, the haze no longer will veil my future destiny.
Such inspirations and new sensations, though nothing strange has changed in me.

Evening star, I can see the light.
Evening star guiding me so bright.

I’m home once more, much better for the things that I have found.
Much wiser now, so simple how, each time I turn around.
I see the evening star rise up, shining out on me
Now I understand at last what it means, what it all means.

Evening star, I can see the light.
Evening star guiding me so bright.

Guiding me!

Evening star, I can see the light.
Evening star guiding me so bright.

Evening star, I can see the light.
Evening star guiding me so bright.

Evening star, I can see the light.
Evening star guiding me so bright.

4. Hell Bent for Leather

Seek him here, seek him on the highway.
Never knowing when he’ll appear.
All await, engine’s ticking over.
Hear the roar as they sense the fear.

Wheels, glint of steel and a flash of light!
Screams, from a streak of fire as he strikes!

Hell bent, hell bent for leather.
Hell bent, hell bent for leather.

Black as night, faster than a shadow.
Crimson flare from a raging sun.
An exhibition, sheer precision.
Yet no one knows from where he comes.

Fools, self destruct cannot take that crown.
Dreams, crash one by one to the ground.

Hell bent, hell bent for leather.
Hell bent, hell bent for leather.

There’s many who tried to prove that they’re faster.
But they didn’t last and they died as they tried.

There’s many who tried to prove that they’re faster.
But they didn’t last and they died as they tried.

Hell bent, hell bent for leather.
Hell bent, hell bent for leather.
Hell bent, hell bent for leather.
Hell bent, hell bent for leather.

5. Take On the World

Got to leave your seat, gotta get up upon your feet.
Gonna move ya to the rhythm ’til you never can stop.
We got the power, we got the music and you betcha that we can use it,
Gonna take it rock-bottom, gonna take it to the top.

Put yourself in our hands, so our voices can be heard and together we will take on all the world.
Put yourself in our hands, so our voices can be heard and together we will take on all the world.

Move a little nearer, you know you got to follow your leaders.
‘Cause we need you, like you need us for sure.
We’re gonna drive ya, we’re gonna ride ya, we’re gonna get right inside ya.
If you wanna keep going, just shout out for more!

Put yourself in our hands, so our voices can be heard and together we will take on all the world.
Put yourself in our hands, so our voices can be heard and together we will take on all the world.

Sing your song, we’ll listen to you.
Sing your song, the spotlights on you.

Put yourself in our hands, so our voices can be heard and together we will take on all the world.
Put yourself in our hands, so our voices can be heard and together we will take on all the world.

Put yourself in our hands, so our voices can be heard and together we will take on all the world.
Put yourself in our hands, so our voices can be heard and together we will take on all the world.

6. Burnin’ Up

You stitch me up good and you cut me down.
So I string you up to keep you hanging around.
You dish the hot stuff up but you keep me waiting.
So I’ll play it dirty ’til your body is breaking.

We’ve got to make love, the time is right.
We’ve got to make love tonight.
‘Cause we’re burnin’ up!

You make me greedy, you won’t feed me my food.
But I’ll make out easy, ’cause I see straight through you.
You cool me off and hot me up and that’s not right.
‘Cause you’ll get hungry in the heat of the night.

Then we’ll make love, just when it’s right.
When we make love tonight.
We’ll be burnin’ up!

I know you feel the same, I know you feel the flame.
Staring deep inside of you, Burnin’ you up, breaking ya down.
Breakin’ you out in a cold sweat and as you lose control of your very soul.
Your desire takes over, you’ll feel the heat sway
You’re round to my way and suddenly you’ll know that you’re burnin’ up.

You stitch me up good and you cut me down.
So I string you up to keep you hanging around.
You dish the hot stuff up but you keep me waiting.
So I’ll play it dirty ’til your body is breaking.

We’ve got to make love, the time is right.
We’ve got to make love tonight.
‘Cause we’re burnin’ up, we’re burnin’ up!

7. Killing Machine

I never give true answers, I never tell no lies.
I never walk a straight line, so never get surprised.
I don’t ask no favors, so don’t get abused.
I learned to win when I was young.
So I’m never ever gonna lose.

They pay me the money and I do the job.
I got a contract on you.
I got a contract on you.

I never ask no questions, I never speak my mind.
I always found that silence helps to keep me and my kind alive.
I take care of business, It takes care of me.
I look after myself and do it well.
’cause somebody’s always looking for me.

They pay me the money and I do the job.
I got a contract on you.
I got a contract on you.

What manner of man am I?.
A gun, lump sum and then I move on.
What manner of man are you?
Stab a friend’s back to jump a queue.

I do what I do ‘cos I can’t do nothing better.
You do what you do, just defendin’ yourself.

‘cos you got nothin’ better to do.

I got no face, no name, I’m just a killing machine.
I cut the population down, if you know what I mean.
I never stop in one place, I move about the cities.
Got expensive tastes, but I hasten to add that I’m the best that there is.

They pay me-uh the money and I do the job.
I got a contract on you.
I got a contract on you.

I got a contract on you.
I got a contract on you.

8. Running Wild

I move as fast as I can, I like to get around.
I’m crazy like a madman, my feet don’t touch the ground.
I move amongst the night life and they just step aside.
Cause when they see me coming, they know I’m running wild.

Dead or alive there’s nothing that bothers me at all.
I take on all comers, they back off or they fall.
They raise their hands to stop me, I laugh and I defy.
Cause what’s the point in living unless you’re living wild.

No chains can hold me down, I always break away.
I never hear society, tell me what to do or say.
I taste the life that pleases me and raise a storm for all the world to see.

I never stumble, never fall, never stop for rest.
I rebel but I walk tall and I demand respect.

I move amongst the nightlife and they just step aside
‘Cause when they see me coming, they know I’m running wild

I’m running wild.
I’m running wild.
Get outta my way.

I’m running wild.
I’m running wild.
You better believe it.

Wild!…

9. Before the Dawn

Before the dawn, I hear you whisper in your sleep: “Don’t let the morning take him”.
Outside the birds begin to call, as if to summon up my leaving.

It’s been a lifetime since I found someone, since I found someone who would stay.
I’ve waited too long and now you’re leaving, please don’t take it all away.

It’s been a lifetime since I found someone, since I found someone who would stay.
I’ve waited too long and now you’re leaving, please don’t take it all away.

Before the dawn, I hear you whisper in your sleep: “Don’t let the morning take him”.

10. Evil Fantasies

We turn and face each other.
My fingers pull your hair.
You wince and jerk my wrist off.
I bite my lip and stare.
Your stance at once defiant.
I’m rigid to your pose.
You clench your teeth in anger.
My loving swells and grows.

You give me evil fantasies, I wanna get inside your mind.
Come on and live my fantasies, I’ll show you evil you can’t hide.

You’re dragged into my vision.
Trapped, subservient to my needs.
Maybe imagination is where my dark side feeds.
You slide your nails down in me.
I raise my structure high.
You pout, I snarl, you whimper and wave compassion ‘bye.

You give me evil fantasies, I wanna get inside your mind.
Come on and live my fantasies, I’ll show you evil you can’t hide.

Give me evil!

Gonna take you, wanna get through.
Gonna make you, do what I want.

You give me evil fantasies, I wanna get inside your mind.
Come on and live my fantasies, I’ll show you evil you can’t hide.

You’re dragged into my vision.
Trapped, subservient to my needs.
Maybe imagination is where my dark side feeds

C’mon, evil. Yeah!
You give me evil, evil fantasies.
C’mon!
You evil. Yeah!
Gimme, gimme, gimme fantasies.
I want it, you got it, those evil fantasies.
Oh, you need it!
I’m gonna give it!
Give it, give it, give it fantasy!
C’mon and get it, get it!
Fantasies!

11. The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown) (Fleetwood Mac cover)

Now when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks
And the night is so black that the darkness cooks
And you come creeping around, making me do things I don’t want to do

I can’t believe that you need my love so bad
You come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad
Busting in all my dreams, making me see things I don’t want to see

‘Cause you’re the Green Manalishi with the two-pronged crown
All night dragging us up, or you’re bringing us down
Just taking my love, and slip away
Leaving me here, trying to keep from following you

*Note: “Originally released as “Killing Machine” in UK and Europe, in 1978 without “The Green Manalishi” song, then re-released as “Hell Bent for Leather” in March, 1979 in the USA. The US version was forced to be delayed until 1979 so as to not compete with the then current album “Stained Class”. The band themselves consistently refer to the album as “Killing Machine”.”
