ΟΝΟΜΑ: Michael Schenker
INSTRUMENT: Κιθάρα
ΗΜ/ΝΙΑ ΓΕΝΝΗΣΗΣ: 10 Ιανουαρίου 1955 [63]
ΠΟΛΗ / ΧΩΡΑ ΓΕΝΝΗΣΗΣ: Sarstedt, Γερμανία
ΠΡΟΣΩΠΙΚΗ ΚΑΤΑΣΤΑΣΗ: Χωρισμένος με δυο παιδιά.
ΣΥΓΚΡΟΤΗΜΑΤΑ ΠΟΥ ΕΧΕΙ ΠΑΙΞΕΙ: SCORPIONS, UFO, MSG, MCAULEY SCHENKER GROUP, CONTRABAND, RATT, G3
HIGHLIGHTS: Θεωρείται επιρροή για αμέτρητους καταξιωμένους κιθαρίστες, ιδιαίτερα του metal χώρου και δικαιολογημένα χαρακτηρίζεται μια θρυλική φιγούρα στην ιστορία της κιθάρας του metal.
ΕΧΕΙ ΠΕΙ: «Ήξερα ότι αν πουλούσα τρία άλμπουμ την ημέρα θα είχα αρκετά να φάω. Όταν επέστρεψα σπίτι (από την περιοδεία της προώθησης του “Thank you”) αρκετοί οπαδοί είχαν αγοράσει το άλμπουμ, για να με κάνουν πλούσιο…»
ΕΧΟΥΝ ΠΕΙ ΓΙΑ ΕΚΕΙΝΟΝ:
– Phil Mogg: «Θυμάμαι τον Michael να βγαίνει από το στούντιο, μουρμουρίζοντας: ‘καημένο, καημένο Rock Bottom’. Ήταν η τελευταία φορά που τον είδα».
– Gary Barden: «Δείχνει πολύ πιο χαρούμενος αυτές τις μέρες και παρ’ όλα προβλήματά του, θα ήθελα κάποιος σαν τον Michael Schenker να βρίσκεται σε κάθε γωνία δρόμου, σε κάθε χώρα».
ΟΙ ΣΧΕΣΕΙΣ ΤΟΥ ΜΕ ΤΗΝ ΕΛΛΑΔΑ: Έχει παίξει τέσσερεις φορές μπροστά στο ελληνικό κοινό ως σόλο καλλιτέχνης σε Αθήνα και Θεσσαλονίκη αντίστοιχα το 2004 και το 2012, μεσολάβησε όμως και μια επίσκεψη του τον Ιούλιο του 2009, ως guest στο SCORPIONS Festival.
Έχοντας από κοντά τον αδελφό του Rudolf, ο Michael Schenker μυήθηκε νωρίς – νωρίς στη μουσική, και όταν ο πρώτος έφερε στο σπίτι Gibson Flying V κιθάρα ο Michael βρήκε το όργανο που ήταν ικανό να τον συναρπάσει. Παιδί ακόμα, στα έντεκα χρόνια του, έδινε την πρώτη του συναυλία με τον Rudolf και τους SCORPIONS, στα 17 του έκανε το πρώτο του άλμπουμ της ζωής του, το “Lonesome crow” του γερμανικού γκρουπ για να ενταχθεί λίγο αργότερα στους UFO. Η καριέρα του εκεί, παρά την επιτυχία της μπάντας, ήταν ιδιαίτερα ταραχώδης με τον κιθαρίστα να φεύγει μακριά τους πάνω από πέντε φορές, οι περισσότερες μετά τη δεκαετία του ’70 και οριστικά και αμετάκλητα μετά το άλμπουμ “Sharks” που κυκλοφόρησε το 2002. Αν μη τι άλλο πάντως, το ταλέντο του έλαμψε από νωρίς, με τον Schenker να κερδίζει την προσοχή των μουσικών κριτικών και της κιθαριστικής κοινότητας, κάνοντας αρκετούς να ισχυρίζονται ότι οι UFO ξεχώρισαν μόνο και μόνο επειδή είχαν εκείνον στις τάξεις τους και όχι άδικα, ειδικά αν κοιτάξει κανείς τη συνέχεια τους χωρίς αυτόν, ειδικά τα πρώτα χρόνια. Η συνέχεια τον βρήκε για λίγο στους SCORPIONS, αλλά μετά το “Lovedrive” έκανε τους δικούς του M.S.G., με του οποίους έκανε πολλά καλά και μέτρια άλμπουμ, δυο live και χρόνια που μεσολάβησαν, γνώρισε εμπορική επιτυχία με τον Robin McAuley στο πλευρό του. Ποτέ δεν έγινε πλούσιος από τη μουσική, πάντα όμως θα παραμένει ένας τρομακτικά καλός κιθαρίστας, αλλά περίεργος και δύσκολος χαρακτήρας.Μετά από πολλές προσωπικές και οικονομικές περιπέτειες, ξαναγύρισε στους UFO το 1995, έκαναν τρία καλά στούντιο άλμπουμ, αλλά τα έσπασαν για ακόμα μια φορά. Η περίοδος που ακολούθησε, ήταν δύσκολη για το αυτόν, αφού ο γάμος του κόντευε να διαλυθεί και εκείνος εξαφανίστηκε, ενώ ο μάνατζερ του φέρεται να το έσκασε με τα κέρδη του. Αναγκάστηκε να πουλήσει τις τρεις βραβευμένες Flying V κιθάρες του, ενώ η χρήση αλκοόλ και χαπιών ήταν καταστρεπτική γι’ αυτόν. Παρ’ όλα αυτά, κατάφερε να απεξαρτηθεί, να ορθοποδήσει και να επιστρέψει στα μουσικά δρώμενα με το άλμπουμ “ Arachnophobiac” και μια διετή περιοδεία. Τα τελευταία χρόνια δουλεύει μόνος, έχει κάνει τη δική του δισκογραφική και φαίνεται να έχει βρει την προσωπική του γαλήνη.
Sex, Drugs & Rock ‘n’ Roll: Τα έχει πει όλα μόνος του:
«Για να είμαι ειλικρινής, έπινα και δε θυμάμαι πολλά, έπινα πολύ. Το αλκοόλ με βύθιζε όλο και περισσότερο στην κατάθλιψη κι ενώ όλα κατέρρεαν, η μόνη μου διέξοδος ήταν το ποτό»,
ομολογεί όσον αφορά το 2007 και την περιοδεία του με τους SCORPIONS. Όμως και στην προσωπική του ζωή, το 2002, η γυναίκα του πριν φύγει να πάει στην πατρίδα της, την Ταϋλάνδη, πούλησε το στούντιο, τα αυτοκίνητά του. «Έμεινα μ’ ένα ποδήλατο και μερικά πουκάμισα… Χρειάστηκε να πουλήσω τις κιθάρες μου στο Ebay». Οι ατυχίες σε όλα τα επίπεδα τον κυνηγούν από την αρχή της καριέρας του με τους UFO. Το 1977 έφυγε γιατί «είχαμε ένα hit album ξαφνικά και φοβήθηκα, έφυγα μακριά. Βρέθηκα στη σκηνή και δεν ήθελα πια να είμαι εκεί». Πόσο sex, drugs & rock n’ roll ακούγεται αυτό; Στην περιοδεία επανασύνδεσης με τους UFO, το 1995, αποπειράθηκε να χτυπήσει τον πληκτρά Paul Raymond με μια καρέκλα στα παρασκήνια…
Οι δαίμονες του αλκοόλ και των χαπιών, τον βοηθούν να γιατρέψει το φόβο του για τις περιοδείες και τις σχέσεις του με τους πότες Way και Mogg. Το 1989, καταλήγει στην αποτοξίνωση, λόγω χαπιών, που παίρνει για τα νεύρα του. Δυστυχώς, ο Schenker δεν έπαιρνε χάπια και έπινε για να «ανέβει», αλλά για να αντέξει την πίεση της συνύπαρξης στο δρόμο, με προσωπικότητες που από νωρίς άσκησαν μεγάλη ψυχολογική πίεση στο νεαρό τότε Γερμανό και τον οδήγησαν σε σειρά εθισμών, που κρατάνε ως σήμερα, με διαστήματα ανάνηψης.
Did you know that:
– Το 2004, κέρδισε την αναγνώριση από την εταιρεία Dean Guitars, που ξεκίνησε να παράγει ένα μοντέλο Dean V, με την υπογραφή του.
– Μετά το θάνατο του Randy Rhoads, ήταν ο πρώτος που δέχτηκε τηλεφώνημα από’ τον Ozzy Osbourne, προκειμένου να τον αντικαταστήσει, αφού ήταν μια τεράστια επιρροή του Rhoads. Αυτό δεν έγινε σύμφωνα με τον Ozzy, λόγω των εξωπραγματικών απαιτήσεων του Schenker. Ο Γερμανός απ’ την πλευρά του, έχει δηλώσει, ότι αυτός ήταν που αρνήθηκε: «Αν είχα πάει στον Ozzy Osbourne, θα είχα καταστρέψει τη ζωή μου. Ήμουν έτοιμος να το κάνω, αλλά κάτι μέσα μου, μου είπε: Μην το κάνεις!»
With your head up in the clouds
You try to win the race
You’re the leader of the pack
Always
The candle keeps burning from both ends
Until it’s blowing out with a bang
.
When you think you know the game
You don’t know anything at all
You cross the red line once again
Free fall
Hope you’ve learned your lesson well, my friend
‘Cause there will always be a second chance
.
When you know where you come from
You know where you’re going
Just because you’re a child of your time
When you know where you come from
You back down for no one
Just be true to yourself, it’s your life
.
And you keep driving down the highway of your life
There is no exit sign at all
There is a warning light that’s flashing all the time
And only you can stop your downfall
And only you can stop your downfall
.
With your head up in the clouds
Your angels by your side
Someone up there keeps your dreams
Alive
The candle keeps burning from both ends
And the road calls your name once again
.
When you know where you come from
You know where you’re going
Just because you’re a child of your time
When you know where you come from
You back down for no one
Just be true to yourself, it’s your life
Just be true to yourself, it’s your life
Restless nights up for a ride
Out of the shadow into the light
I chase my luck, I live my dream
The engine’s screaming “Set me free”
.
Hot wheels on fire
Come on, Lucille
Jump the backseat
On my horse of steel
.
Cheer me up
Don’t bring me down
Don’t you let it go
We’re gonna rock this town
.
Crossing borders
Crossing borders
Come on, baby
I’ll take you ‘cross the line
.
Oh yeah
That’s right
.
Hold on tight, let’s slip ‘n’ slide
Ain’t got no limit to rock the night
A hot desire, a badass dream
The motor’s dirty, the engine’s clеan
.
Cheer me up
Don’t bring me down
Don’t you let it go
Wе’re gonna rock this town
.
Crossing borders

Come on, baby

C’mon
Across the line
Across the line
Across the line
Across the line
You’ll see, c’mon, baby
Across the line
Woo woo woo
Yeah, across the line
We walk the line of good and bad
We have a laugh and we are sad
No matter if you’re rich or poor
You can run but there’s no cure
You can run but there’s no cure
.
A time to rise, a time to fall
Who saw the writing on the wall?
One last kiss to wake the lust
A super spread kills all of us
A super spread kills all of us
.
Unleash the beast in the east
Says the rhythm to the beat
Diving down into the deep
Sharks are coming, sharks are coming
When you bleed
.
Spread your wings, little bird
Time has come to save the world
Look in the mirror, what do you see?
A hurting soul, a human being
A hurting soul, a human being
.
Spread the message, love rules
Let’s turn around this ship of fools
We keep on dancing in the dust
Some stay alive and some are lost
Some stay alive and some are lost
.
Unleash the beast in the east
Says the rhythm to the beat
Diving down into the deep
Sharks are coming, sharks are coming
When you bleed
.
Unleash the beast
Oh!
.
Unleash the beast in the east
Says the rhythm to the beat
Diving down into the deep
Sharks are coming when you bleed
.
Unleash the beast in the east
Says the rhythm to the beat
Diving down into the deep
Sharks are coming, sharks are coming
When you bleed
Good morning world
How do you feel?
You look so tired
Sometimes I think you’re gonna stop turning ’round
Who’s to blame but us
When half the planet caught on fire
And one more spark seems enough
To burn it down
.
Good morning world
How do you feel?
You look so sad
The clock is ticking
And precious time will fade away
Oh, the cyber war
A dirty ocean, the climate change
When tomorrow comes we’ll pay the price
For today
.
See the writing on the wall
(The future calls)
Can I trust fate anymore?
(The world is yours)
Young is old and old is young
(You are the ones)
Call me when tomorrow comes
(When tomorrow comes, whеn tomorrow comes)
.
Good morning world

When the number of the dead
Still explodes

Up and away far away
Stayed up all night, slept all day

And the girls are melting down

“Crazy spiders are on their way”
Electrified from head to toe
Fired up, ready to go

Lights go down, the pulse goes up
When baby, we’re about to rock

Heaven is a place on earth
Can’t find the door to say goodbye
Maybe tomorrow but not tonight
Not tonight

Hell’s bells are ringing
This is the start
We came to shoot for your heart
This is the beginning
Losers are winning

Inside my head, just bring me back
Just bring me back, just bring me back again
Just bring me back

[Verse 1]
We could turn another page
Keep the lions in the cage
The battlefield is bleeding red
Land of glory, monster dead
Into a world without frontiers
With no hate, regret or fears
We’ll burn to ashes in a flash
If we don’t change, we’re gonna crash
.
[Chorus]
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Bury the undertaker
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Black horses ride
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Bury the undertaker
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Last exit life
.
[Verse 2]
The evil monster is still alive
Even after all this time
It’s been written in the stars
Forever love, stop the war
A ray of light is shining down
Tomorrow’s ’round the corner now
Now the future’s in your hands
Do you remember? “Yes, we can!”
.
[Chorus]
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Is there a better life
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Under the sun?
Peacemaker, peacemaker
There ain’t no paradise
Peacemaker, peacemaker
For anyone
.
[Chorus]
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Bury the undertaker
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Black horses ride
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Bury the undertaker
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Last exit life
Last exit life

Alligators in the loo
42nd Street’s a zoo
Stretch limousines invade the city
Down and dirty looks so pretty

Knock ’em dead, knock ’em dead
Don’t let the fame go to your head
Knock, knock, knock ’em dead
We want it all and nothing less
Knock ’em dead, knock ’em dead
It feels so good to be bad

Out in the jungle in the heat
Don’t walk the wrong side of the street
Oh, yeah
The coolest garden is a square
You smell the big time in the air

Knock ’em dead, knock ’em dеad

The big apple never sleeps at all
Hey, now you’re competing with the best
Show them you’re better, better than the rest

Knock ’em dead, knock ’em dead
Don’t let the fame go to your head
Knock, knock, knock ’em dead

Go knock ’em dead
[Intro]
I’m a rock believer
.
[Verse 1]
You start to crawl until you walk
You make a scream and learn to talk
You discover life on every day
From the first day you were born
You walked the lifeline of your own
And if you always keep the faith
No one can take your dreams away
.
[Verse 2]
In the ruins of their souls
You saw the beauty of it all
Simply a generation change
Our fathers came with steel
But we came back to make you feel
Our love in every song we play
.
[Chorus]
Scream for me, screamer
I’m a rock believer like you
Just like you
Come on, scream for me, screamer
I’m a rock believer like you
Just like you
.
[Verse 3]
We go from here to everywhere
So many moments that we share
Of all the love we give and take
Love came to me so many ways
No matter what some haters say
No one can take our dreams away
.
[Chorus]
Scream for me, screamer
I’m a rock believer like you
Just like you
Come on, scream for me, screamer
I’m a rock believer like you
Just like you
.
[Post-Chorus]
Scream, scream, scream
(I’m a rock believer)
Scream, scream, scream
(I’m a rock believer)
.
[Bridge]
No one can take our dreams away
No one can take our dreams away
.
[Chorus]
Scream for me, screamer
I’m a rock believer like you
Just like you
Come on, scream for me, screamer
I’m a rock believer like you
Just like you
.
[Post-Chorus]
Scream, scream, scream
(I’m a rock believer)
Scream, scream, scream
(I’m a rock believer)
Scream, scream, scream
(I’m a rock believer)
Scream, scream, scream
Walking down the city streets into the glaring light, glaring light
The girls got me rocking this red hot summer night, summer night
I walk up to the Monkey Bar for a drink or two, a drink or two
The way you dance helps me to forget the reason I feel blue
Oh yeah
.
I feel the roots in my boots every move I make
I feel the roots in my boots, whatever comes my way
I feel the roots in my boots when the music rocks
It’s simply in my blood
.
They take me to the place where the night is screaming hot, screaming hot
Where thе good life shines a light and the party nеver stops, never stops
I live my life to the fullest, here comes another show, another show
And it’s always just hit and run, but never time to go
Oh no
.
I feel the roots in my boots every move I make
I feel the roots in my boots, whatever comes my way
I feel the roots in my boots when the music rocks
It’s simply in my blood

Pour hammer riffs all over me
A little dirty, a little cheap
Move your fingers up and down the fret
The V is flyin’ without a net
.
Black me in and black me out
The king of riffs is back in town
Who is up for a deadly sting?
Black me out and black me in
.
Let’s play it louder, play it hard
Laid back and a little dark
Give me a dirty riff, my friend
There’s gotta be more gas in the tank
.
Gas in the tank

Sign your name across my skin
We’re born to lose, we live to win
There’s lots of gas in my Trans Am
It’s wham bam, thank you mam

A little dirty, a littlе cheap
Only rock and no bling bling

Gas in the tank
G-G-Gas in the tank
Lots of gas in the tank
Someone holds a sign
It says we are human, too
And while the sun goes down
The world goes by
White dove
Fly with the wind
Take our hope under your wings
For the world to know
That hope will not die
Where the children cry
Waves, big like a house
They’re stranded on a piece of wood
To leave it all behind
To start again
But instead of a new life
All they find is a door that’s closed
And they keep looking for
A place called hope
Heroes don’t cry
Heroes don’t cry
.
Standing here in front of you
A wave of joy and sadness fills the room
.
Your soul had crashed into a wall
Your world just broke to pieces after all
.
The days of your life
Leave the world standing outside
But you find the strength for a smile
Because heroes like you wouldn’t cry
.
Heroes don’t cry
Heroes don’t cry
.
The judge decided it’s your right
To wake up from the dream of your life
(Heroes don’t cry)
The curtain is about to fall
No need for words, your eyes just say it all
.
The days of your life
Leave the world standing outside
You find the strength for a smile
Because heroes like you wouldn’t cry
.
Heroes don’t cry
.
The days of your life
Leave the world standing outside
You find the strength for a smile
Because heroes like you wouldn’t cry

Heroes don’t cry

Hay un ro, un monte de chocitas chiquititas
Es el morro de los negros, la mansin
Es tan humilde, tan desgraciada y tan sencilla
Ni siquiera una capilla da cobijo para rezar
.
Pero si vive cerca del cielo y cayera
Y la noche con su manto cubre las chozas que van a amar
.
All se escucha, al fin del da una plegaria, ave maria
All se escucha, al fin del da una plegaria
.
Ave maria, ave maria
Aunque no tenga capilla, reza la gente sencilla
Ave maria
.
All se escucha, al fin del da una plegaria, ave maria
All se escucha, al fin del da una plegaria
.
Ave maria, ave maria
Aunque no tenga capilla, reza la gente sencilla
Ave maria

Poor little girl
There is no one
You can trust in the world
In the darkness of the night
What he’s doing is a crime
Your mother denies
There’s a problem
She’s looking away
She don’t wanna hear you cry
She will pray
That it’s over for a while
Sweet little child
You know nothing
About a cold world outside
You’re too young to realize
What he wants from you tonight
Your mother denies
There’s a problem
She’s looking away
She don’t wanna hear you cry
She will pray
That it’s over for a while
An ocean of silence
Is drowning your heart
What never should be
Will remain in the dark

Do you say a prayer when your feeling down
Do you believe that love can turn your faith around
You’re feeling high and low, but you don’t know what to think
The world is full of saints who live their lives in sin
.
Don’t ask the mirror ball you better ask yourself
I think you know the answers but maybe you can’t tell
You’ll see it all so clear just take a look inside
The judge you build inside your heart will always be your guide

Mon destin inscrit en toi
Mon destin inscrit en toi

Another day goes by and so does your life
You try to make some sense before your time to die
If you feel humility for something that is true
You’ll find the secrets of this life deep inside of you

He talked and talked
And I heard him say
That she had the longest, blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie’s the name of his latest flame
Though I smiled the tears inside were a burning
I wish him luck, and then he said goodbye
He was gone, but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry
Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and sworn to me
She’d be mine eternally
And Marie’s the name of his latest flame
Though I smiled the tears inside were a burning
I wish him luck, and then he said goodbye
He was gone, but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry
Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and sworn to me
She’d be mine eternally
And Marie’s the name of his latest flame
And Marie’s the name of his latest flame
And Marie’s the name of his latest flame
I go back to the places we’ve been
It feels like you’re still there
I live all those moments again
Wishing you were here
Since you’re gone
There is an lonely heart
Since you’re gone
Nothin’ is like it was
There are memories all over the place
Bringin’ it back all so clear
Remember all of those days
Wishing you were here
All those lonely nights
I gotta fight for you, yes I do
Yes I do
Since you’re gone
There is a heart that bleeds
Since you’re gone
I’m not the man I used to be
I follow you steps in the snow
The traces disappear
We know what we’ve lost when it’s gone
I’m wishing you were here
All those lonely nights
I gotta fight for you, yes I do
Yes I do
I’m in heaven, I’m in hell
Don’t wipe that smile off my face
Can’t you tell
I see faces in the weirdest places
Please, won’t you take me down
Underneath you spell
Oh, oh I’m back at midnight (alright)
I drop my keys, could you get ’em love
Oh, oh baby I might (he might)
I got the stuff to keep it goin’ on all night
Take me down nightmare avenue
Goin’ down nightmare avenue
I wanna take you too
Sharp as a sabres tooth
Back in my favorite booth
I’m getting spanked with cold champagne
I’d walk on a razor blade
If you’re dressed like a French maid
I get my pleasure out of pain
I’m in heaven, I’m in hell
Don’t wipe that smile off my face
Can’t you tell
I see faces in the weirdest places
Please, won’t you take me down
Underneath you spell
Oh, oh I’m back at midnight (alright)
I drop my keys, could you get ’em love
Oh, oh baby I might (he might)
I got the stuff to keep it goin’ on all night
Take me down nightmare avenue
Goin’ down nightmare avenue
Drive me down nightmare avenue
Lay me down on nightmare avenue
Take me down nightmare avenue
Goin’ down nightmare avenue
Drive me down nightmare avenue
Lay me down on nightmare avenue
And I’ve gonna take you too
Heading for a nervous breakdown
Can’t take it anymore
I see the fear explode just like
A thousant nights before
The ship of fools
Keeps on rollin’ through a deadly storm
It won’t take long ’till we collide
The ship of fools
Keeps on following the siren’s call
Damned to be sacrificed
Corrupt politicians
Promise paradise
The thieves are reaching out for the crown
Violence is a killer
Threatens all our lives
Judgment day has come here and now
Heading for a nervous breakdown
Can’t take it anymore
I see the fear explode just like
A thousant nights before
The ship of fools
Keeps on rollin’ through a deadly storm
It won’t take long ’till we collide
The ship of fools
Keeps on following the siren’s call
Damned to be sacrificed
Heading for a nervous breakdown
Can’t take it anymore
I see the fear explode just like
A thousant nights before
The ship of fools
Keeps on rollin’ through a deadly storm
It won’t take long ’till we collide
The ship of fools
Keeps on following the siren’s call
Damned to be sacrificed
The ship of fools
Keeps on rollin’ through a deadly storm
It won’t take long ’till we collide
The ship of fools
Keeps on following the siren’s call
Damned to be sacrificed
I start to think and the headache goes boom
I’m counting the bills that are stacked to the moon
The money I’m giving to you
I could live on forever (on the sunny side)
What can I do so my life
Turns around for the better (Got knows that I tried)
Taxman woman I keep running
Can’t you see it’s only money
Taxman woman I keep running
Can’t you see it’s so hard honey
To keep up with you
I work twice as hard what else can I do
To make up the part that’s been taken by you
If it wasn’t for you I would be rich
But instead I’m a poor son of a bitch
The money I’m giving to you
I could live on forever (on the sunny side)
What can I do so my life
Turns around for the better (Got knows that I tried)
Taxman woman I keep running
Can’t you see it’s only money
Taxman woman I keep running
Can’t you see it’s so hard honey
Taxman woman I keep running
Can’t you see that it ain’t funny
Taxman woman I keep running
Can’t you see it’s so hard honey
To keep up with you
I’m runnin’ out of patience
And I ain’t gonna say it twice
The world out there is down’n dirty, honey
And I just hate to be nice
So don’t think about movin’ any closer, baby
Just forget about it
You body may be a weapon on legs
But hey, I’m not fallin’ for that
Don’t you get it, I’m not impressed at all
I just wanna see you crawl all over me
I’m runnin’ out of patience
And I ain’t gonna say it twice
The world out there is down’n dirty, honey
And I just hate to be nice
Don’t you understand
Don’t you understand
Tell me when your eyes say yes
How can your lips say no
A girl like you shouldn’t be surprised
It’s just I hate to be nice
I’m runnin’ out of patience
And I ain’t gonna say it twice
The world out there is down’n dirty, honey
And I just hate to be nice
I’m chained to the fears
Inside these walls
The silence talks loud
’bout the things I recall
Through the bricks in the window
I scream at the world
But when no one is listening
It’s hard to be heard
Woman you can change my world
Woman there’ll be no return
I see shadows
Coming through the walls
I hear voices
But no one’s talking at all
I can feel the madness
Crawling up my spine
Reachin’ out
To grab your mind
Woman come and change my world
(Do you remember all those fears’)
They won’t leave me alone
(Do you remember all those tears’)
I pretend to be strong
(Do you remember all the pain’)
I’m getting tired of the game
I cannot live I cannot die
I wanna know who the hell am I
You’ve never seen me
But I know you so well
And before it kills me
I gotta break the spell
The deeper we touch
The higher we’ll go
The time has come
To heal my soul
Woman you can change my world
(Do you remember all those fears’)
They won’t leave me alone
(Do you remember all those tears’)
I pretend to be strong
(Do you remember all the pain’)
I’m getting tired of the game
I cannot live I cannot die
I wanna know who the hell am I
Woman I’m gonna change your world
Unholy alliance
Unholy alliance
It came up screaming from the ashes of the grave
To make this world a battle field
It’s got a voice that steals the courage from the brave
And leaves a scar that will not heal
Unholy alliance
Unholy alliance
Don’t wanna hear the same old lie that spreads the fear
Only fools think it’s cool
We must be blind not to see the signs
How can we dare to look away in the wake of yesterday
Troubled times don’t turn your back to the lions
Troubled times just learn your lesson well
The party is over
We must be blind not to see the signs
How can we dare to look away in the wake of yesterday
Troubled times don’t turn your back to the lions
Troubled times just learn your lesson well
The party is over
Unholy alliance…
Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a Heaven in the sky
Why can’t we get it right
’cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why can’t we live as one
I saw the evening
Fading shadows one by one
We watch the lamb, lay down to the sacrifice
I saw the children
The children of the sun
How they wept, how they bled, how they died
Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a Heaven in the sky
Why can’t we stop the fight
’cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why can’t we live as one
Sometimes I think I’m going mad
We’re loosing all we had and no one seems to care
But in my heart it doesn’t change
We’ve got to rearrange and bring our world some love
And does it really matter
If there’s a heaven up above
We sure could use some love
’cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why can’t we live as one
’cause we all live under the same sky
We all look up at the same stars
Then why, tell me why can’t we live as one
Baby I don’t care
If I have to crawl an extra mile
’cause you can take me everywhere
And you’re the one I really need tonight
Someone to touch
I need a girl like you
Someone to touch
That somebody could be you
Don’t try to tell me that your daddy’s mean
You think your mama wouldn’t let me in
Come on ‘n step inside my dream machine
Don’t fight it honey you just can’t win
’cause baby I don’t care
If I have to crawl an extra mile
’cause you can take me everywhere
And you’re the one I really need tonight
Someone to touch
I need a girl like you
Someone to touch
That somebody could be you
Someone to touch
I need a girl like you
Someone to touch
C’mon baby, I think it’s you
Face in the gutter eyes on the floor
Knocked down twice can’t take it no more
You got no vision in your head
You got no vision better dead
Get on your feet open the door
.
Walk on down you know the score
It’s a dead-end street back to the wall
You get it together you can get it all
.
The weak will fall the strong remain
.
No pain no gain (yeah)
No pain no gain (yeah)
.
No time for losers you make the call
Believe in yourself stand tall
Another day it’s in your hand
You can be the winner in the end
.
The weak will fall the strong remain
.
No pain no gain (yeah)
No pain no gain
No pain no gain (yeah)
No pain no gain (yeah, yeah)
.
Keep runnin’ don’t look back
Keep movin’ paint it black
Keep goin’ don’t ever stop
There’s time to rest the day you’ll drop
.
You roll the dice you play the game
The weak will fall the strong remain
.
No pain no gain
No pain no gain

In the city of angels
Death is just a moment away
In the city of angels
Your future won’t see the light of the day
Beware of the alien nation
Beware of the truth that they seek
They pray for eternal salvation
They pray for your soul to keep
On the eve of destruction
A reign of terror rules the street
When the heads start rolling
The devil comes to let it bleed
In the city of angels
Death is just a moment away
In the city of angels
Your future won’t see the light of the day
Walk on past the alien nation
Walk on to the end of your reach
No fear of the alien nation
No fear of the hatred they preach
Don’t run, there’s no place to hide
Today or tomorrow it will get you
Don’t move, the knife is right at your throat
And whatever you do, there’s no way out
When the shroud comes down on this place
To bury us all alive
We’ll know the time has come, to face the heat
Beware of the alien nation
Beware of the truth that they seek
They pray for eternal salvation
They pray for your soul to keep
Walk on past the alien nation
Walk on to the end of your reach
They pray for eternal damnation
They pray for your soul to keep
The innocence is gone
But still I’m holding on
Searchin’ for love that lasts forever
Lookin’ for a place
Where love can hide away
Takin’ a chance it’s now or never
.
Maybe it’s time to draw the line
There’s just one thing that’s on my mind
.
Is it lust, is it love
Whatever it is I can’t get enough
Is it lust, is it love
When I look around tell me who can I trust
Is it love
.
Lovers come and go
Sometimes it’s hard to know
If this will be a night to treasure
When the damage has been done
And the hurting has begun
You’ll justify a moment’s pleasure
.
Is it lust, is it love
Whatever it is I can’t get enough
Is it lust, is it love
It ain’t nothin’ that I can’t rise above
Is it lust, is it love
When I look around tell me who can I trust
Is it love
Lust or love
.
Maybe it’s time to draw the line
There’s just one thing that’s on my mind
.
Is it lust, is it love
Whatever it is I can’t get enough
Is it lust, is it love
It ain’t nothin’ that I can’t rise above
Is it lust, is it love
Still lookin’ for more, it’s never enough
Is it lust, is it love
When I look around tell me who can I trust
Is it love, is it love, is it love
Is it love, is it love

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world is closing in
And did you ever think?
That we could be so close?
Like brothers
The future’s in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change

And distant memories
Are buried in the past forever

You shouldn’t feel so blue
Shouldn’t feel so blue
When I go tonight
Baby, you shouldn’t feel so blue
Shouldn’t feel so blue, when I’m gone
I can’t stay
Keep me in your mind till I
Come back to love ya
Keep me in your mind till I
Come back to take you worlds away,
to take you worlds away, baby
Ooh, girl, I’m leaving you
Yes, I’m leaving you
I’ve got to go tonight
Baby, you shouldn’t feel so blue
Shouldn’t feel so blue, when I’m gone
I can’t stay
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
My body is burning
It starts to shout
Desire is coming
It breaks out loud
Lust is in cages
Till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it
With someone I choose
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs the show
He’s licking his lips
He’s ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane (Are you ready, baby?)
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane (Come on, come on, baby)
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Rock you like a hurricane
It’s early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
It scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin?
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs the show
He’s licking his lips
He’s ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane (Are you ready, baby?)
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

Rock you like a hurricane (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

Out in the night
Glaring eyes in darkness
Tigers wanna fight
Out in the night
Spiders all around you
Spinning webs and make you pray
Tie you up and you can’t get away
Bad boys running wild
If you don’t play along with their games
Bad boys running wild
And you better get out of their way
Out in the streets
The dogs are on the run
The cats are all in heat
Out in the night
Spiders all around you
Spinning webs and make you pray
Tie you up and you can’t get away
Bad boys running wild
If you don’t play along with their games
Bad boys running wild
And you better get out of their way
Bad boys running wild
If you don’t play along with their games
Bad boys running wild
And you better get out of their way
Get out of their way
This is the place where I belong
I really love to turn you on
I’ve got your sound still in my ear
While your traces disappear
I climb the stage again this night
‘Cause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down
I climb the stage again this night
‘Cause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down
When the smoke is going down
When the smoke is going down
You said you’re looking for a place
Where there’s no hate
Oh, babe, it really makes no sense
To escape
How long will it take
To make the world a flaming star
How long will it take
Till they stop their senseless wars
How long will it take
Till everybody will understand
That we need to fill our hearts with love again
The only future we’ve got
Exists right now
Let’s take the time, babe
As long as the world is turning ’round
How long will it take
To make the earth a fireball
How long will it take
Till no more life exists at all
How long will it take
Till everybody will understand
That we need to fill our hearts with love again
It’s up to you
To fight the evil in your mind
It’s up to you
The more love you give, the more you’ll find
The more love you give, the more you’ll find
Don’t make the world a flaming stra
Stop, stop all these senseless wars
How long will it take
Till everybody will understand
That we need to fill our hearts with love again
Loved her in her car
Took me to the stars
Babe, we went nuts all the way
Loved her on the moon
Morning came too soon
She got me high and loose, loose, loose
Arizona really feels alright
Girls swing here and they treat you right
Have so many special ways, you know
And that’s alright
Was so hard to leave and say goodbye
I’d like to stay and have another try
Mindblowing all the way, you know
Just out of sight
Loved her in her car
Took me to the stars
Babe, we went nuts all the way
Loved her on the moon
Morning came too soon
She got me high and loose, loose, loose
Ooh, what a night
Such a good time
Out of sight
Yeah, what a night

Getting out of control
There’s nothing that can bring me down
Nothing I’ll leave out tonight
I’m feeling good, I’m living now!
Like it real hot
Never can’t stop

Never stay low

No one holds me back

It’s gonna be wild
Now!

It’s gonna be wild
Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now!
You give me all I need
You give me all I need
You give me all I need
You give me all I need
Let’s try again
There’s still romance
We’ll start a new life, take a chance
There are so many ways
Please don’t forget it anyday
My heart’s in pain
I need you so
My love’s the same
So please don’t go
You give me all I need
You give me all I need
You give me all I need
You give me all I need
There’s no one like you
I can’t wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we’ll do
I just wanna be loved by you
No one like you
I can’t wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we’ll do
I just wanna be loved by you
Girl, there are really no words strong enough
To describe all my longing for love
I don’t want my feelings restrained
Ooh, babe, I just need you like never before
Just imagine you’d come through this door
You’d take all my sorrow away
There’s no one like you
I can’t wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we’ll do
I just wanna be loved by you
No one like you
I can’t wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we’ll do
I just wanna be loved by you

I just wanna be loved by you
No one like you
I can’t wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we’ll do
I just wanna be loved by you…
Can’t live, can’t live without you
Can’t live, can’t live without you
Can’t live, can’t live without you
Can’t live, can’t live without you
Put your hands in the air
So I can see you are there
I wanna see all your lights shining on
Want you to stand up and dance
Gonna leave you no chance
To take a breath between each single song
Can’t live, can’t live without you
Can’t live, can’t live without you
Can’t live, can’t live without you
Can’t live, can’t live without you
Stand up and shout
We’re ready to rock, we’re ready to roll
Stand up and shout
Are you ready, are you ready
Come on and get it!
Can’t live, can’t live without you
Can’t live, can’t live without you
Can’t live, can’t live without you
Can’t live, can’t live without you
My head explodes, my ears ring
I can’t remember just where I’ve been
The last thing that I recall
I got lost in a deep black hole
Don’t want to find out
Just want to cut out
Blackout
I really had a blackout

Saw uncle John with bald headed Sally
Saw Mary comin’ and he ducked back in the alley
Oh, baby, yeah, oh, baby, eh, ooh, baby
Havin’ me some fun tonight

You ain’t nothing but a hound dog
Crying all the time
You ain’t nothing but a hound dog
Crying all the time
.
You ain’t never caught a rabbit
And you ain’t no friend of mine
.
When they said you was high classed
It was just a lie
When they said you was high classed
It was just a lie
.
You ain’t never caught a rabbit
And you ain’t no friend of mine

Can’t get enough of the girl that I love
She’s hot like the fire which burns on the sun.
She turns me on and my mind’s goin’ round
Hot lovin’ woman is back in town
.
Well just to make me feel alright
All night long, oh yeah
But just to make me feel alright
All night long
.

Instrumental
Whenever she is by my side
She’s the spice of my life
Sugar on my love bite
She’s got everything I need
.
If I don’t love her every day
Her headache gives in far away
And all I need to know from Dr Love
Is how I ever can survive
.
(she says)
.
You passed the point of no return
If life was all like this you’ll crash and burn
You’ll be destroyed and crashed before you’ll die
Sounds like I’m having hell of a time
.
It’s a hard, a hard hard life
It’s a hard, a hard hard life
It’s a hard, a hard hard life, yeah yeah
It’s a hard life
.
And there is one more thing you know
She’s more addictive blow by blow
The sex we have the more she wants
It’s when I get that I can’t sleep
.
I used to be a handsome boy
But no, I’m just a love toy
If there is sex like after that
Give me the answer Dr (?)
.
(she says)
.
You passed the point of no return
If life was all like this you’ll crash and burn
.
You’re playing with the fire (?) heaven and hell
You’ve got (..?) from the devil itself
.
It’s a hard, a hard hard life
(It’s kind of dark but someone’s gotta do it)
It’s a hard, a hard hard life
(I cannot stop that rock’n’roll fluid)
It’s a hard, a hard hard life
(It’s kind of dark but someone’s gotta do it)
It’s a hard life, life, life
.
(she says)
.
You passed the point of no return
If life was all like this you’ll crash and burn
You’ll be destroyed and crashed before you’ll die
Sounds like I’m having hell of a time
.
It’s a hard, a hard hard life
It’s a hard, a hard hard life
It’s a hard, a hard hard life, oh yeah
It’s a hard life
.
You want to live your life you gotta give it
I’ve got your ticket to the living — repeats until fading
.
It’s been a long way
You’ve walked alone
And now it’s almost time to go
.
At the end of the night
You saw the final come to fall
It’s been the longest fight
But you can’t win them all
.
There’s a falling star
That shines at midnight
Falling star
And it feels so blue
.
In the midnight hour
When you saw her tears (saw her tears)
You won’t pretend that it’s just a game
.
There’s a place in my heart
When it started to shine (?)
We’ll share your victories forever when you’re gone
.
There’s a falling star
That shines at midnight
Falling star
Baby don’t you cry
A falling star (a falling star)
That shines one last time
Shooting star (a falling star)
For the last goodbye
.
At the end of the ride
Don’t wanna be there on your own
Cause it would break my heart
To see you walk that road alone
.
There’s a falling star (a falling star)
That shines in midnight
Falling star (a falling star)
Baby don’t you cry
A falling star (a falling star)
That shines one last time
Shooting star (a falling star)
For the last goodbye
For the last, for the last goodbye

The only king of rock has gone gone to heaven
A star on the way to the stars
Another king of rock is born, ’77
Just born to be there, when it starts
.
’94,’95, if the world is still alive
Will be the start, for the riot of your time
Here’s a ticket for a burning train
To set the world in flame
To play the hero game
Here’s a ticket for the future days
You’ll be the xrock king
The new electric face
A new generations mind
The riot of your time
.
He’s got the message to be more,
A new desire
A storm full of life, wild and young
“the x-rock 1994 electric fire”
Will burn out the time, like the sun
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Yeah… I’d like to tell you something now
Before madness shows her lucid feathers in the Sky…
.
How can you lose your mind
How can you waste your time only like that ?
Look at the sun inside of my hand so bright
I call it music –
And if you touch you’ll see
It comes from infinity
It’s made forever
You will not touch in vain
Music will make you sane
Will make you sane
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
.
I see your shadow over me
Then in my ears I hear a symphony
I see the world and I see all the people
What they are doing what they need
.
Yeah!
.
Takes my dinner
Drinks my beer
Spends my money
But I don’t care
.
She’s my love
She’s my dear
Love is here
.
I was there
.
Ahhh!
Yeah
I’m lost
.
Faintly the dream of a true and wonderful world
And no one will care as long as the world will turn
And I know a place to go to find my peace of mind
And I know a place to find my peace of mind
And I try
And I try
And I try
And I try…
Heavenly won’t it be
Here’s some money
Belong to thee
I will pay they will say
Give your money, oh
.
Obligator came and said to me
Why don’t you pay your debt
The debt that you amend
Asking him forgive on his demand
For I am with a mate
Despite in her return
Remittance of the debt
I can’t accept
He told me and he capped
Quite time on his demand
.
Imaginations came into my brain
Cause if you patients came
That brings me in my break
.
Test the mend, devil mend
Bloody money when it’s lent
Scum repair everywhere
They want money, oh
.
