SMOKE ON THE WATER

We all came out to Montreux


On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

They burned down the gambling house


It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

We ended up at the Grand Hotel


It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
WOMAN FROM TOKYO

Fly into the rising sun,


faces, smiling everyone
yeah, she is a whole new tradition
i feel it in my heart
My woman from tokyo
she makes me see
my woman from tokyo
she's so good to me
Talk about her like a queen
dancing in a eastern dream
yeah, she makes me feel like a river
that carries me away
My woman from tokyo
she makes me see
my woman from tokyo
she's so good to me
But i'm at home and i just don't belong ...
So far away from the garden we love
she is what moves in the soul of a dove
soon i shall see just how black was my night
when we're alone in her city of light
Rising from the neon gloom
shining like a crazy moon
yeah, she turns me on like a fire
i get high
My woman from tokyo
she makes me see
my woman from tokyo
she's so good to me
HUSH

Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah (x2)

I got a certain little girl she's on my mind


No doubt about it she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad

Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah (x2)

Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now

(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(Love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(Love, love)
Well, I want that, need it
(Love, love)
Oh, I gotta gotta have it

She's got loving like quicksand


Only took one touch of her hand
To blow my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat and I can't sleep

Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah (x2)

(Listen)
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now

(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(Love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(Love, love)
Well, I want that, need it
(Love, love)
Hey, I gotta gotta have it

Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah (x2)

Nahhh, nah-nah-nahhh, nah-nah-nahhh, nah-nah-nahhh....


JUMPIN' JACK FLASH

I was born in a crossfire hurricane


And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
But it's all right, now, in fact it's a gas
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas, gas, gas!

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag


I was schooled with a strap right across my back
But it's all right, now, in fact it's a gas
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas, gas, gas!

I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead


I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head
But it's all right, now, in fact it's a gas
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas, gas, gas!

Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas


Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas

Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas


Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas
SATISFACTION

I can't get no satisfaction,


i can't get no satisfaction.
'cause i try and i try and i try and i try.
i can't get no, i can't get no.
When i'm drivin' in my car
and that man comes on the radio
and he's tellin' me more and more
about some useless information
supposed to fire my imagination.
i can't get no, oh no no no.
hey hey hey, that's what i say.
I can't get no satisfaction,
i can't get no satisfaction.
'cause i try and i try and i try and i try.
i can't get no, i can't get no.
When i'm watchin' my tv
and that man comes on to tell me
how white my shirts can be.
well he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
the same cigarrettes as me.
i can't get no, oh no no no.
hey hey hey, that's what i say.
I can't get no satisfaction,
i can't get no girl with action.
'cause i try and i try and i try and i try.
i can't get no, i can't get no.
When i'm ridin' round the world
and i'm doin' this and i'm signing that
and i'm tryin' to make some girl
who tells me baby better come back later next week
'cause you see i'm on losing streak.
i can't get no, oh no no no.
hey hey hey, that's what i say.
I can't get no, i can't get no,
i can't get no satisfaction,
no satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction.
MORE THAN A FEELING

I woke up this morning and the sun was gone,


Turned on some music to start my day.
I lost myself in a familiar song,
I closed my eyes and I slipped away.

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)


When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling).
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
Till I see Marianne walk away.
I see my Marianne walking away.

So many people have come and gone,


Their faces fade as the years go by;
Yet I still recall as I wander on,
As clear as the sun in the summer sky.

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)


When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling).
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
Till I see Marianne walk away.
I see my Marianne walking away.

When I'm tired and thinking cold


I hide in my music, forget the day,
And dream of a girl I used to know.
I closed my eyes and she slipped away.

She slipped away.

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)


When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling).
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
Till I see Marianne walk away.
I see my Marianne walking away.
DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER

Slip inside the eye of your mind


Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Slowly fade away

So I start the revolution from my bed


Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up besides the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late


as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away

Gonna start the revolution from my bed


Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up besides the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late


as She´s walking on by
My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say

So Sally can wait, she knows it´s too late


as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say

So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late


as she´s walking on by
My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
don´t look back in anger
I heard you say
it´s not too late
LETS SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER

My, my, my, my


Don't you worry 'bout what's on your mind
I'm in no hurry, I can take my time
I'm going red and my tounge's getting tied
I'm off my head and my mouth's getting dry
I'm high, but I try, try, try

Let's spend the night together


Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now

I feel so strong that I can't disguise


But I just can't apologize
Don't hang me up and don't let me down
We could have fun just groovin' around

Let's spend the night together


Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together

Let's spend the night together


Now I need you more than ever

You know I'm smiling, baby


You need some guiding, baby
I'm just deciding, baby, now
I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together
Let's spend the night together now

This dosn't happen to me ev'ry day


No excuses offered anyway
I'll satisfy your every need
And now I know you'll satisfy me

Let's spend the night together


Now I need you more than ever...

OTHERSIDE

How long how long will I slide


Separate my side, I don’t
I don’t believe it’s bad
Slit my throat, it’s all I ever
I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I’ve got to take it on the otherside

Centuries are what it meant to me


A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I’ve got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on
How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don’t
I don’t believe it’s bad
Slit my throat it’s all I ever
Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray's full and I’m spillin' my guts
She wants to know am I still her slut
I’ve got to take it on the otherside

Scarlet starlet and she’s in my bed


A candidate for my soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I’ve got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

How long how long will I slide


Separate my side I don’t
I don’t believe it’s bad
Slit my throat it’s all I ever

Turn me on take me for a hard ride


Burn me out leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that
It’s not my friend
I tear it down I tear it down
And then it’s born again
CALIFORNICATION

Psychic spies from China


Try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californication

It's the edge of the world


And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood
sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well


To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging

[Chorus:]
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Marry me girl be my fairy to the world
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication

Space may be the final frontier


But it's made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderon's not far away
It's Californication

Born and raised by those who praise


Control of population everybody's been there
and
I don't mean on vacation

[Chorus]

Destruction leads to a very rough road


But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
They're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
From Californication
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest
There is no test
But this is what you're craving
AMANDA

Babe, tomorrow's so far away.


There's somethin' I just have to say.
I don't think I could hide
What I feel inside
Another day.
Knowin' I love you.

And I -- I'm getting' too close again.


I don't wanna see it end.
If I tell you tonight
Will you turn out the light.
And walk away
Knowin' I love you?

I'm gonna take you by surprise


And make you realize.
Amanda I'm gonna tell you right away
I can't wait another day.
Amanda I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand, Amanda
I love you.

And, I feel like today's the day.


I'm lookin' for the words to say.
Do you wanna be free,
Are you ready for me
To feel this way?
I don't wanna lose ya.

So it may be too soon I know.


The feelin' takes so long to grow.
If I tell you today
Will you turn me away
And let me go?
I don't wanna lose you.

I'm gonna take you by surprise


And make you realize.
Amanda I'm gonna tell you right away
I can't wait another day.
Amanda I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand, Amanda
I love you.

You and I -- I know that we can't wait.


And I swear -- I swear it's not a lie girl,
Tomorrow may be too late.
You -- you and I girl -- we can share a life together.
It's now or never And tomorrow may be too late.

And, feelin' the way I do,


I don't wanna wait my whole life through
To say I'm in love with you.
