Dream Into It lyrics - Billy Idol
Late night conversations
With past life hesitations
Once when I was younger
Back when I knew hunger
I was just bored with a life to live
All I knew was to dream into it
Naïve motivations
Heightened expectations
The door was open calling
They said I was foolish
I had to walk through, didn't think of the price
With a twinkle in my eye, I dreamed into it
And the records turn
Like they did when I was young
And I still don't know
If I've only just begun
And the records spin
As the soundtrack to my sins
Baby, I'm dying, dying, dying, dying to live
So I dream into it
Dream into it
First came luck, then pressure
One man rollercoaster
Around the world like phantoms
I didn't care what would happen
See, I was kicking at the stars with the wind at my wings
Kid to a king, all I wanted was everything
And the records turn
Like they did when I was young
And I still don't know
If I've only just begun
And the records spin
As the soundtrack to my sins
Baby, I'm dying, dying, dying, dying to live
So I dream into it
Feel it in my soul, I've been running so long
Regrets are flowing fast, an imaginary storm
Gripping at the branches and I'm trying to hold on
So many memories made, wish I was there for them all
I'm still at the beginning, 'though I feel like it's the end
I'm begging for a chance to see the sunrise again
'Cause I'm dying, dying, dying, dying to live
And the records turn
Like they did when I was young
And I still don't know
If I've only just begun
And the records spin
As the soundtrack to my sins
Baby, I'm dying, dying, dying, dying to live
So I dream into it
Dream into it
Dream, baby, dream
Dream, baby, dream
Dream, baby, dream
Dream, baby, dream
77 lyrics - Billy Idol (feat. Avril Lavigne)
Going out after midnight
Two vampires on the street
People stare when we walk by
'Cause they're scared of you and me
I'm not the same as them, I never was
Never gonna let us in to their club
Know you gotta give it back as good as you got
'Cause this is our time and this is our shot
She said she don't wanna run anymore
Don't care about going to Heaven
She said do it like we did it before
Fight back like '77
Hey, hey, he-e-ey
Fight back like '77
Hey, hey, he-e-ey
Fight back like '77
King's Road every weekend
They hate us and they don't know why
No love from policemen
Too fast to live, too young to die
Here come the teddy boys and the skins
I can see them walking up on the bridge
No, it's not a fair fight, it never is
But you gotta swing first and you better not miss (Hey-hey)
She said she don't wanna run anymore
Don't care about going to Heaven
She said do it like we did it before
Fight back like '77
Hey, hey, he-e-ey
Fight back like '77
Hey, hey, he-e-ey
Fight back like '77
It's our lives in their hands
Same old thing it's always been
Sometimes we lose, sometimes we win
They show their teeth, we kick them in
She said she don't wanna run anymore
Don't care about going to Heaven
She said do it like we did it before
Fight back like '77
Hey, hey, he-e-ey
Fight back like '77
Hey, hey, he-e-ey
Fight back like '77
Fight back like '77
Fight back like '77
Too Much Fun lyrics - Billy Idol
I bleached my hair, dropped out of school
I made a living breaking rules
Of passing out in swimming pools
Waking up in hospital
Did GHB with GBH
I kissed a girl, then smoked some H
I saw God, but I don't pray
'Cause I never know what to say
Too much, too soon
Almost lead to my doom
I looked into my tomb
And walked away
They said, "Pick your poison"
So I drank every one
I've had that fatal charm ever since I was young
I'm not leaving until I say I'm done
'Cause I don't want to have a little
I wanna have too much fun
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna have too much fun
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna have too much fun
Half a line turned into five
I flirt with death to feel alive
Fell off stage, but didn't dive
Crashed my bike, but I didn't die
Too much too soon
Almost lead to my doom
I looked into my tomb
And walked away
They said, "Pick your poison"
So I drank every one
I've had that fatal charm
Ever since I was young
I'm not leaving until I say I'm done
'Cause I don't want to have a little
I wanna have too much fun
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna have too much fun
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna have too much fun
They said, "Pick your poison"
So I drank every one
I've had that fatal charm
Ever since I was young
I'm not leaving until I say I'm done
'Cause I don't want to have a little
I wanna have too much fun
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna have too much fun
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna have too much fun
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna have too much fun
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna have too much fun
John Wayne lyrics - John Wayne (feat. Alison Mosshart)
You know you make me crazy
And my mind is racing
You're wastin' all my time
Someone come and save me
Oh, yeah
'Cause when I need you
I can see through
And I feel you
Right now
On the highway
Doin' my way
And I want you to feel
As I'm going down
'Cause I am not afraid
And I won't go down in flames
'Cause nothing's gonna be the same
And everything you know
You keep inside your soul
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be John Wayne
Oh, yeah
Our golden days are chasin'
And you're not gonna face it
The reason's in the rhyme
You walked on what was sacred
Oh, yeah
And when I need to
I can reach through
And I feel you
Right now
It's a new day
But your skies are grey
And I want you to feel
When I'm going down
'Cause I am not afraid
And I won't go down in flames
'Cause nothing's gonna be the same
And everything you know
You keep inside your soul
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be John Wayne
Everything you know
You keep inside your soul
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be John Wayne
I am not afraid
And I won't go down in flames
'Cause nothing's gonna be the same
And everything you know
You keep inside your soul
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be John Wayne
Ow
I am not afraid
And I won't go down in flames
'Cause nothing's gonna be the same
And everything you know
You keep inside your soul
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be John Wayne
Yeah, yeah
Wildside lyrics - Billy Idol (feat. Joan Jett)
Riding in the fast lane, baby
I'm not slowing down, down, down
I still got a wildside and sometimes
It still comes out, out, out
Did you forget who you're with?
You know what you signed up for
Now you plead the Fifth
Hope you get happiness
I know that you don't deserve
To be hurt like this
This wasn't the plan
I thought I could stay
Now I know that I can't
This wasn't the plan
But I can't change who I am
Riding in the fast lane, baby
I'm not slowing down, down, down
I still got a wildside and sometimes
It still comes out, out, out
I can't love you like you want me to
If I let you win, then we both lose
I still got a wildside and sometimes
It still comes out, out, out
Tell your friends that I left
Say it's all my fault 'cause it is, I guess
It'll be for the best
When we both move on
And forget this mess
This wasn't the plan
I thought I could stay
Now I know that I can't
Know that I can't
This wasn't the plan
But I can't change who I am
Riding in the fast lane, baby
I'm not slowing down, down, down
I still got a wildside and sometimes
It still comes out, out, out
I can't love you like you want me to
If I let you win, then we both lose
I still got a wildside and sometimes
It still comes out, out, out
Riding in the fast lane, baby
I'm not slowing down, down, down
I still got a wildside and sometimes
It still comes out, out, out
I can't love you like you want me to
If I let you win, then we both lose
I still got a wildside and sometimes
It still comes out, out, out
I still got a wildside
I still got a wildside
Wildside
I still got a wildside
I still got a wildside
Wildside
People I Love lyrics - Billy Idol
I know I could be sorry, but I don't feel bad for being who I am
I see you're disappointed I left school to start a punk rock band
Don't wanna follow your footsteps, that was never part of my plan
I'm giving you one, two, three chances to tell me you understand
Why do I keep pissing off people I love?
It hurts like hell, for heaven's sake
Every time I mess things up
Another little piece of my heart breaks
The way it is is just the way it always was
I gotta find a way to stop pissing off people I love
I know I should be sorry, but I don't remember what I did last night
I don't know how I got home, but my ride's not parked outside
Think my girl is mad at me, I hope I didn't make her cry
She's given me one (one), two (two), three second chances
But I don't ever get it right
Why do I keep pissing off people I love?
It hurts like hell, for heaven's sake
Every time I mess things up
Another little piece of my heart breaks
The way it is is just the way it always was
I gotta find a way to stop pissing off people I love
Whoa
Whoa
I know I missed your birthday and your graduation
You knew I wouldn't make it, but you still gave me the invitation
I sent you a card saying, "I love you, congratulations"
You've given me one (one), two (two), three (three)
Million chances
And I keep pissing off people I love
It hurts like hell, for heaven's sake
Every time I mess things up
Another little piece of my heart breaks
The way it is is just the way it always was
I make mistakes the same as everybody does
I gotta find a way to stop pissing off people I love
Whoa
Whoa
People I love
People I love
Gimme The Weight lyrics - Billy Idol
Tried every party, but they only made me crazy
I loved a thousand girls, it only made things worse
Tried every drug until they didn't elevate me
Drank every bottle, but they couldn't quench my thirst
Till you came
Gravity changed
Gimme the weight
When it gets heavy
Gimme the weight
It's you I'll carry
When it's hardcore
I only want you more
Gimme the weight
'Cause I'd give it away just to carry the weight with you
Weight with you
White lines and late nights only lead to paranoia
Sent me to rehab, I got high and ran away
I saw the world, but only hotel bars and bathrooms
I had it all and then I lit it with butane
And then you came
And I'm not the same
Gimme the weight
When it gets heavy
Gimme the weight
It's you I'll carry
When it's hardcore
I only want you more
Gimme the weight
'Cause I'd give it away just to carry the weight with you
Weight with you
Gimme the weight
When it gets heavy
Gimme the weight
It's you I'll carry
When it's hardcore
I only want you more
Gimme the weight
'Cause I'd give it away just to carry the weight with you
Weight with you
I'm Your Hero lyrics - Billy Idol
In this crazy life I have known
So much love, so much light, so much sorrow
In your eyes, I'm brand new, I am pure
I'm your hero, I'm your hero, I'm your hero
I'm reborn
I closed the door on my days, upside down
I found the cure to my haze and I climbed out
This beautiful girl, only hope, never doubt
I'll make you my world 'cause for long, I was screaming out
In this crazy life I have known
So much love, so much light, so much sorrow
In your eyes, I'm brand new, I am pure
I'm your hero, I'm your hero, I'm your hero
I'm reborn
I'm still not safe on these trails, but I'm on track
I still have thoughts, troubled past tryin' to drag me back
Yeah, beautiful sirens on the rocks, tryin' to make me crash
But I've got a feeling, if you stay, I can't be that bad
In this crazy life I have known
So much love, so much light, so much sorrow
In your eyes, I'm brand new, I am pure
I'm your hero, I'm your hero, I'm your hero
I'm reborn
In this crazy life I have known
So much love, so much light, so much sorrow
In your eyes, I'm brand new, I am pure
I'm your hero, I'm your hero, I'm your hero
I'm reborn
I'm reborn
I'm reborn
Still Dancing lyrics - Billy Idol
Left my home
For jet black gold
Sold my soul
In a fever, in a fever
Changed my name
A suicide game
Machine guns on
My t-shirt, my t-shirt
It's been a long ride
But the ride is all I know
I'm still dancing
But now I ain't alone
I got everything I need next to me
Right here in my bones
I'm still dancing
But now I'm in control
I got everything I need next to me
From LA to Tokyo
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still dancing
Plastic bag
Full of clothes
Turn to robes
In the ether, in the ether
I smashed hotels
And hurt myself
But I always stayed
A believer, a believer
It's been a long ride but...
I'm still dancing
But now I ain't alone
I got everything I need next to me
Right here in my bones
I'm still dancing
But now I'm in control
I got everything I need next to me
From LA to Tokyo
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still dancing
Skinheads stomp
Right down the road
Teddy Boys stood
Clutching their combs
Reggae blitz rock
Deep to the core
In Brixton
Punks trying to riot
Up on the high street
Causing a ruckus
Who wants to fight me?
Pogo slam
No need to remind me
I'm still dancing
But now I ain't alone
I got everything I need next to me
Right here in my bones
I'm still dancing
But now I'm in control
I got everything I need next to me
From LA to Tokyo
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still dancing
Cage lyrics - Billy Idol
Screaming in isolation
Walking through desolation alley
Boarded up our ambitions
Flooded out all the engines
I've been punching through the walls
I've been living on the edge
I've been fighting with my demons
So long they've become my friends
The zombies at the window
Say it's finally the end
So I'm kicking down my door
And never closing it again
Hey!
I'm coming out of my heartless, hopeless rage
I'm coming out of my cell, my broken cage
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
Get me out of my cage!
Drive you straight out the city
You can live in a ghost town with me
We can dig in the gold mine
Look for treasure we won't find
I can dream all that I want but
I'm not going any place
I can tell you all my feelings
When I'm staring into space
And the road is an illusion I just keep to pass the days
I'm counting down the seconds 'til I'm making my escape
Hey!
I'm coming out of my heartless, hopeless rage
I'm coming out of my cell, my broken cage
I said, whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh, yeah
Running From The Ghost lyrics - Billy Idol
I'm running from the ghost
The ghost inside of me
Heavy on my mind
Still fight him in my sleep
I see him all the time
The Jekyll to my Hyde
Down each and every road
No matter where I go
I'll be running from the ghost
I'll be running from the ghost
I'll be running from the ghost
Ghost, ghost
Ghost, ghost
Wake me up
Set me free
Can't take back all the things I've seen
Darkest days
No beliefs
Feel the hope fall away from me and
Don't you pray for me
It's too late for me
What can save me
It's night and day for me
Can't go back there
To cold hard memories
Just one way for me
I'll be running from the ghost
The ghost inside of me
Heavy on my mind
Still fight him in my sleep
I see him all the time
The Jekyll to my Hyde
Down each and every road
No matter where I go
I'll be running from the ghost
Keep running from the ghost
I'll be running from the ghost
Keep running from the ghost
Oh, yeah
Ghost
Wake me up
Set me free
Can't take back all the things I've seen
Darkest days
No beliefs
Feel the hope fall away from me
Don't you pray for me
It's too late for me
What can save me
It's night and day for me
Can't go back there
To cold hard memories
Just one way for me
I'll keep running from the ghost, from the ghost
I'll keep running from the ghost, from the ghost
I'll keep running from the ghost
Rebel Like You lyrics - Billy Idol
Saw you out there in the front front row
Screamin' back at me
Lookin' like somebody that I know
Guess we got history
Ain't nobody gonna love you more
Except your mommy and your daddy, maybe
Looking like you're on the go, go, go
Guess I've got company
Yeah, it's alright
Yeah, it's alright
Yeah, it's alright
Now, you're here
Well, I never thought
I'd ever get to meet another rebel like you
Yeah, I've been livin' like a devil so long
I thought that it couldn't be true
Call my name, I'll pick up the receiver
Baby, baby, make me a believer
I never thought I'd ever get to meet another rebel like you
Like me, like you, like me, like you
Rebel like you
You're in your leather boots and black waistcoat
Lookin' just like me
Pretty blue eyes never seen the road
Ride along with me
Yeah, it's alright
Yeah, it's alright
Yeah, it's alright
Now, you're here
Well, I never thought
I'd ever get to meet another rebel like you
Yeah, I've been livin' like a devil so long
I thought that it couldn't be true
Call my name, I'll pick up the receiver
Baby, baby, make me a believer
I never thought I'd ever get to meet another rebel like you
Like me, like you, like me, like you
Rebel like you
Rebel like you
Rebel like you
Like me, like you, like me, like you
Rebel
Well, I never thought
I'd ever get to meet another rebel like you (Like you, like you, like you)
Yeah, I've been livin' like a devil so long
I thought that it couldn't be true (Be true, be true, be true)
Call my name, I'll pick up the receiver
Baby, baby, make me a believer
I never thought I'd ever get to meet another rebel like you
Like me, like you, like me, like you
Rebel like you
Rebel like you
Rebel like you
Like me, like you, like me, like you
Miss Nobody lyrics - Billy Idol
I was walkin' 'round MacArthur Park
It was late night and the streetlights sprayed the dark
She was huddled down by a Kmart cart
With a black eye and a shadow 'cross her heart (Cross her heart)
She'd been waitin' around for a better god
But most nights, he didn't show up when he should
She gripped a cup and lit one up
In the summer heat, "Hey mister, listen good" (So good, so good)
She said, ("Hey mister, listen good")
"Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody
But I'm doing fine
I don't miss nobody
I'm on my own all night
And if you are somebody
Someone with sympathy
Just sit down here beside me
Your soul could set me free
Your soul could set me free"
Broken friends inside her head
People rarely plan their demolition
Bleached out in the sun again
Then bleeding nights
When funds are insufficient
She keep holdin' on until the dawn
But never lose the fortitude and grace
And when she smile, she come alive
And golden days illuminate her face, oh, yeah
She said
"Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody
But I'm doing fine
I don't miss nobody
I'm on my own all night
And if you are somebody
Someone with sympathy
Just sit down here beside me
Your soul could set me free
Your soul could set me free"
Sometimes, life can be so beautiful
Sometimes, life can be so magical
Sometimes, life can take the wrong turn
And you turn up here
She said
"Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody
But I'm doing fine
I don't miss nobody
I'm on my own all night
And if you are somebody
Someone with sympathy
Just sit down here beside me
Your soul could set me free
Your soul could set me free"
Rita Hayworth lyrics - Billy Idol
We're all actors
I play you, you play me
In this scene of wannabes and abusers
'Cause when the black hits
There's no available light left
You can't offset the dark with illusions
You do rails of blow at the House Soho
And say, "Man, this place is so full of losers"
And when you wait at the valet and try to escape
You get a, "Come on," from some nothin' producer
And he says
And he says
And he says
You look like Rita Hayworth
From the pinup in a magazine
I said, you look like Rita Hayworth
I know you know what he means
You're swimmin' with Jaws
And this dream town will swallow you whole
You're gonna need a bigger boat
You're swimmin' with Jaws
And this dream town will swallow you whole
You're gonna need a bigger boat
You found a star map
Lyin' dead in the street
You tried to glue it but the holes were colossal
It's all a rat trap
Full of beautiful thieves
Selling infamy with evil apostles
You know it's time to leave this place
Sugar, this ain't Oscar bait
You look like Rita Hayworth
From the pinup in a magazine
I said, you look like Rita Hayworth
I know you know what he means
You're swimmin' with Jaws
And this dream town will swallow you whole
You're gonna need a bigger boat
You're swimmin' with Jaws
And this dream town will swallow you whole
You're gonna need a bigger boat
You look like Rita Hayworth
From the pinup in a magazine
I said, you look like Rita Hayworth
I know you know what he means
You're swimmin' with Jaws
And this dream town will swallow you whole
You're gonna need a bigger boat
You're swimmin' with Jaws
And this dream town will swallow you whole
You're gonna need a bigger boat
You're gonna need a bigger boat
You're gonna need a bigger boat
Bitter Taste lyrics - Billy Idol
The bitter taste on my tongue
Too many holes, the damage done
It's bittersweet, black on gold
Talk is cheap, or so I'm told
I'm gonna ride this bike to the edge of town
Roll to the bridge with my eyes shut
And spit at the stars
And scream in the dark
There's nothing I can do to change it now
But if I cut myself open, baby
You can read all my scars
Read all my scars
Hello, goodbye
There's a million ways to die
Should've left me way back
Should've left me way back
By the roadside
Hello, goodbye
I was staring in the devil's eyes
Should've left me way back
Should've left me way back
By the roadside
It's a bitter taste
Jagged stain on my skin
Broken leg, born again
Wide glide, upside down
Twisted frame, my new crown
I'm gonna ride this bike till the break of day
Rolling through the garden like the fountain
Won't take it away
I'm not gonna change
I'm gonna live so hard, these broken wings
Will lift me to the sun so I can burn
Up in the flames
Again and again
Hello, goodbye
There's a million ways to die
Should've left me way back
Should've left me way back
By the roadside
Hello, goodbye
I was staring in the devil's eyes
Should've left me way back
Should've left me way back
By the roadside
It's a bitter taste
It's a jagged stain
It's a bitter taste
It's a jagged stain
Hello, goodbye
There's a million ways to die
Should've left me way back
Should've left me way back
By the roadside
It's a bitter taste
U Don't Have To Kiss Me Like That lyrics - Billy Idol
Bet you didn't think this was part of the plan
An empty parking lot at 2 AM
Leaning on my bumper, not a single soul in sight
Yeah
The one that got away, now the one of my dreams
Tryin' to make a move, bustin' at the seams
I could be your king if you let me crown you tonight
You keep acting like you gotta go
Without a chance for me to show
Put your arms around me
Let me be your savior tonight
One touch of your lips
Sent electric shock to my hips
It's the first round, I'm coming unzipped
Don't put up a fight
You ain't gotta kiss me like that
Do it just so good that I can't react
Your mouth is gonna give me a heart attack
When it hits mine
You don't have to leave me tonight
Stay a little longer, honey, I won't bite
Not at least until the moment is right
I hope that's fine
You ain't gotta kiss me like that
But if you do it's alright, alright, alright
It's alright, alright, alright
All I did was take time runnin' around
Chasin' all the taken ones, fightin' off a town
If you were around, I would have tried a little harder back then
Yeah
Glad your baby daddy brought you out tonight
Too bad the cops took him in for a fight
We gotta lot of time to become a little more than friends
So don't act like you gotta go
Without a chance for me to show
Let me be your Jesus
You can be my Mary tonight
You ain't gotta kiss me like that
Do it just so good that I can't react
Your mouth is gonna give me a heart attack
When it hits mine
You don't have to leave me tonight
Stay a little longer, honey, I won't bite
Not at least until the moment is right
I hope that's fine
You ain't gotta kiss me like that
But if you do it's alright, alright, alright
It's alright, alright, alright
I'm a sayin', come over here now
(I come a runnin', ooh, I come a runnin')
Oh girl, come a little closer now
(I come a runnin', ooh, I come a runnin', babe)
Oh, feel me all over now
(I come a runnin', ooh, I come a runnin', babe)
You ain't gotta kiss me like that
Do it just so good that I can't react
Your mouth is gonna give me a heart attack
When it hits mine
You don't have to leave me tonight
Stay a little longer, honey, I won't bite, yeah
Not at least until the moment is right
I hope that's fine
You ain't gotta kiss me like that
But if you do it's alright, alright, alright
It's alright, alright, alright
It's alright, alright, alright
It's alright, alright, alright
Baby Put Your Clothes Back On lyrics - Billy Idol
Let me say that I tried like hell
Tried not to drive you home
You know I lied, lied to myself
That I could keep my self-control
All it might take
Is one good drink and one good song
I like you way too much
To go and mess this up
Honey, you did nothing wrong
Before the night gets real
And tell you how I feel
I won't string you along
So baby, put your clothes
Baby, put your clothes back on
Let me say that I tried like hell
Tried not to see you here
From the moment you smiled that night
The intentions on our faces were clear
All it might take
Is one strong drink and one good song
I like you way too much
To go and mess this up
Honey, you did nothing wrong
Before the night gets real
And tell you how I feel
I won't string you along
So baby, put your clothes
Baby, put your clothes back on
Throw it all away
Throw it all away
Connections are so strong
Throw it all away
Throw it all away
Who's to say what's right or wrong?
I like you way too much
To go and screw this up
Honey, you did nothing wrong
Before the night gets real
And tell you how I feel
I won't string you along
So baby, put your clothes
Baby, put your clothes back on
Bitter Pill lyrics - Billy Idol
Yeah!
Ridin' down this road
Like I've ridden down a million
I've run through every roadblock in this town
I laughed at all the signs
That say speed'll kill ya
It took you to slow me down
I've forgotten
How to fly
But I'll remember
Before I die
It's a crooked line I follow
It's a rocky road I ride
It's a bitter pill I swallow
Just to keep you by my side
Oh, I
Oh, I might sing some blues
Like there just ain't no tomorrow
'Cause misery is always colorblind
I've taken every remedy for ignorance and sorrow
Something to cure this wicked mind
And I've forgotten
How to fly
But I'll remember
Before I die
It's a crooked line I follow
And a rocky road I ride
It's a bitter pill I swallow
Just to keep you by my side
Just to keep you satisfied
Wow!
I work
So hard
And I've forgotten
The reasons why
And I'll remember
Before I die
It's a crooked line I follow
It's a rocky road I ride
It's a bitter pill I swallow
Just to keep you by my side
Just to keep you satisfied
Just to keep you by my side
Satisfied, satisfied
It's a wicked world, baby
Ridin' down this road
Like I've ridden down a million
I've run through every roadblock in this town
I laughed at all the signs
That say speed'll kill ya
It took you to slow me down
It took you to slow me down
It took you to slow me down
It took you to slow me down
It took you to slow me down
It took you to slow me down
Can't Break Me Down lyrics - Billy Idol
The devil's house in the shape of a chapel
You hid the knife in the core of an apple
Burn me, try to hurt me
Try to hit me when my back was turnin'
I saw you wait where the shadows are growin'
You're talkin' straight, but your colors are showin'
Burn me, try to hurt me
Try to get me when my head was turnin'
You wanna rain on my survival story
You're crazy, baby, 'cause I never had a doubt
I'm singin' songs about love and glory
Oh, oh, oh
Your gun went
Bang, bang, bang
You shot me to the ground
But you can't break me down
Bang, bang, bang
You tried to knock me out
No, you can't break me down
It's just my natural reaction
When I hit the floor
I'm the original assassin
I come up for more
You put me up, so you can watch me crumble
I always knew you were some kind of trouble
Lurkin', you can't hurt me
'Cause I see just how your evil's workin'
A silver tongue with the best of intentions
But you're a child with the cruelest inventions
Burnin', you're just hurtin'
I know somewhere deep in hell you're workin'
You wanna rain on my survival story
You're crazy, baby, 'cause I never had a doubt
I'm singin' songs about love and glory
Oh, oh, oh
Your gun went
Bang, bang, bang
You shot me to the ground
But you can't break me down
Bang, bang, bang
You try to knock me out
No, you can't break me down
It's just my natural reaction
When I hit the floor
I'm the original assassin
I come up for more
You don't know what you started
You hit but missed the target
You don't know what you started
You hit but missed the target
You don't know what you started
You hit but missed the target
You don't know what you started
You hit but missed the target, yeah
Bang, bang, bang
You shot me to the ground
But you can't break me down
Bang, bang, bang
You tried to knock me out
No, you can't break me down
It's just my natural reaction
When I hit the floor
I'm the original assassin
I come up for more
Save Me Now lyrics - Billy Idol
I trusted a priest
I fell to his feet
And he raised me up there
Then cut me off at the knees
I trusted the law
They didn't help me at all
I wound up black, blue, screwed
In the back of his car
I don't wanna wake up alone
I need you to hear me now
I don't wanna do it alone
I need you here with me now
I don't wanna wait for your love
I need you to save me now
They got me, and I'll never give up
But I need you to save me now
Well, they feed upon the poor
My head is banging on the floor
Yes, it's over, yes, it's over
They're lying
I don't wanna wait for your love
I need you to save me now
Save me now
I once had a girl
I gave her my world
But she played around, put me down
Still wanted the pearl
So I went to a priest
Yes, I fell to his feet
And he just raised me up
To cut me off at the knees
I don't wanna wake up alone
I need you to hear me now
I don't wanna do it alone
I need you here with me now
I don't wanna wait for your love
I need you to save me now
They got me, and I'll never give up
But I need you to save me now
'Cause the priest and the law
Truth is pounding at the door
Yes, it's over, yes, it's over
They're dying
I don't wanna wait for your love
I need you to save me now
Save me now
I don't wanna wake up alone
I need you to hear me now
I don't wanna do it alone
I need you here with me now
I don't wanna wait for your love
I need you to save me now
They got me, and I'll never give up
But I need you to save me now
Well, they feed upon the poor
My head is banging on the floor
Yes, it's over, yes, it's over
They're lying
I don't wanna wait for your love
I need you to save me now
Save me now
One Breath Away lyrics - Billy Idol
If I had a world to give and
If I have a life to live
Would you come to me?
Would you come to me?
And if I have the time in hand
Built up in grains of sand
Would you be with me?
Would you be with me?
You see that everything I do
Still leaves me lost and alone for you
If I can find some time
And a place to hide
I can sit right down and free my mind
One breath away
One breath away
And I know the past is dead and gone
Wasted in motions carried on
One breath away
One breath away
My dear
When you took me by the hand
You touched a child inside the man
And I was free
Yes, I was me
But then I took a different turn
And now the child begins to burn
'Cause I'm angry
'Cause I can feel
You see that everything I do
Still leaves me lost and alone for you
If I can find some time
And a place to hide
I can sit right down and free my mind
One breath away
One breath away
And I know the past is dead and gone
Wasted in motions carried on
One breath away
One breath away
My dear
Here comes the pressure
And it's coming down hard
My spirit's fading
But I'm still gonna fight
Here comes the pressure
And it's coming down hard
My spirit's fading
But I'm still gonna fight
If I can find some time
And a place to hide
I can sit right down and free my mind
One breath away
One breath away
And I know the past is dead and gone
Wasted in motions carried on
One breath away
One breath away
My dear
Oh yeah
One breath away
And that's the hardest breath to take
My dear
Postcards From The Past lyrics - Billy Idol
If the world keeps turning
And the mind keeps burning
Can you feel the passion?
I cannot make it happen once again
Now I'm running in times that are frightening
But I won't let that break me
I won't let that take me down again, no
So you know my story
Well, I'll tell you a secret
Inside I was certain
Inside I was crying out for more
Now I'm roaming through streets that are empty
To find my destination
Will you touch my fascination once again?
It's like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
Yesterday is history
It's there for all the world to see
Like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
My future seems wide open
And tomorrow's never broken
So come on
I'm twice the man I used to be
Through a journey of discovery
And it's more than a feeling
It's there inside the meaning
Of the man who is speaking
To all of your emotions
And now I'm beholden to keys to our future in my hand
Ah ow!
It's like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
Yesterday is history
It's there for all the world to see
Like a memory that will last
Yeah, like a postcard from the past
My future seems wide open
And tomorrow's never broken
So come on
You don't understand that I won't shake
You don't realize that I won't break
'Cause I could be so strong for you alone
We can live it once again
Oh yeah!
Yow!
So you know my story
Well I'll tell you a secret
Yesterday is history
It's there for all the world to see
Like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
Yesterday is history
It's there for all the world to see
Like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
My future seems wide open
And tomorrow's never broken
Like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
I think my future seems wide open
And tomorrow's never broken
So come on
Come on
Come on
Come on!
Kings & Queens Of The Underground lyrics - Billy Idol
".. They'll even stop calling you Mr. Broad. People call me Mr. Idol...."
Born in a time that wasn't made to last
In 1977, what it went fast
Johnny told us to rise, not to give a shit
And then "Kiss Me Deadly," and we had a hit
Last night in the Roxy we made love on the floor
We shot up in the bathroom and said we were bored
If you are here tonight, and you hear these sounds
We are still kings and queens of the underground
I don't mean to be profound, but if I'm still around
We are still kings and queens of the underground
Oh, yeah
1984, and "Rebel Yell" had the floor
All we said was, "more more more"
Well I touched you with my "Eyes Without A Face""
I was "Hot in the City." Yes, I thought I was ace
I didn't know then when I was in your front room
On MTV, baby, I was high as the moon
If you are here tonight, and you hear these sounds
We are still kings and queens of the underground
I don't mean to be profound, but if I'm still around
We are still kings and queens of the underground
Ooh golden years
Ooh golden years
Ooh golden years
Ooh golden years
Sold all my vinyl, it went up my arm
And I thought rock n roll couldn't do me no harm
Now I'm rolling a joint, and I'm dressed in black
If we lose the music, baby, we can never go back
But if you are here tonight, and you hear these sounds
We are still kings and queens of the underground
I don't mean to be profound, but if I'm still around
We are still kings and queens of the underground
Jonesy said, "Bill, don't be profound
If you are still a king of the underground"
If you hear my voice, and you dig these rebel sounds
Still kings and queens of the underground
Here tonight, I wanna dig these sounds
I'm still a king of the underground
If you hear my voice, dig these rebel sounds
Still kings and queens of the underground
Ooh golden years
Ooh golden years
Eyes Wide Shut lyrics - Billy Idol
You call me crazy
As you call my name
But your temptations
Drive me insane
A golden silence
With the lights so low
An invitation that I'll never know
Queen of the scene
But you're so obscene
With your long black hair
And you just don't care
The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
You know I fell for you
With my eyes wide shut (That's right)
The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
I should have walked away
With my eyes wide shut
Spiral staircase
And a flowing robe
Eyes of fire
That give me hope
But through the airwaves
A sign so clear
There's someone else that you hold dear
Changing your mind
In the blink of an eye
And forgetting your lies
It was no surprise
The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
You know I fell for you
With my eyes wide shut (That's right)
The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
I should have walked away
With my eyes wide shut
Worldwide chaos, girl
People love and hate
A nationwide panic, yeah
And the future quakes
The social network
Betrayed my dreams
You with another guy
My mind starts to scream
Yeah!
The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
You know I fell for you
With my eyes wide shut
You call me crazy
As you call my name
You call me crazy
The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
You know I fell for you
With my eyes wide shut
I said, the tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
I should have walked away
With my eyes wide shut
Eyes wide shut
Ghosts In My Guitar lyrics - Billy Idol
Tommy cashed it in down on Avenue A
Didn't have a reason
Didn't have much more to say
Well, last time I saw him he was
Looking green
Y'know, some people never make it
Out of this scene
Like, Rudy took a hit around Chapter 9
Adios, my friend, we had one hell of a time
When I think of you
There's a voice in my head
That says without fire
We're better off dead
And I thank you all
I'll never forget
The ghosts in my guitar
Terry told me that she loved me true
Next time I looked around
She'd run off with you
Well, I was out there playing
'Round the world
No time to think about another lost girl
When I think of you
There's a voice in my head
That says without fire
We're better off dead
And I thank you all
I'll never forget
The ghosts in my guitar
The ghosts in my guitar
Billy is my name
And you, you know me well
I've played every game, and, yes
I walked into hell
And, yes, down on my luck
I played the fool
Had you to live for
Now I'm back here for good
And
When I think of you
There's a voice in my head
That says without fire
We're better off dead
And I thank you all
Yes, I'll never forget
The ghosts in my guitar
The ghosts in my guitar
Whoo!
The ghosts in my guitar
Will only take me so far
The ghosts in my guitar
'Cause I've got to walk on...
Nothing To Fear lyrics - Billy Idol
When you are small
They make you crawl
They make you run away
And then you grow tall
Like a skyscraper, you start to fall
There was a time
When the sun would always shine
Now there's a day
When the pain just won't go away
Dreams are made and broken
In my mind
Do you feel the same inside?
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear (but fear itself)
I'm making it clear
That I am not afraid
Nothing to fear
I say the future is here (so heal yourself)
It's a new frontier
There's nothing to fear
In my world
I had a girl
She was young, like a summer wind
But seasons they change
And the cold began coming in
Now if I feel bad
I stop, and I turn around
I tell myself it's me
Or this crazy town
Dreams are made and broken
In my mind
Do you feel the same inside?
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear (but fear itself)
I'm making it clear
That I am not afraid
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear (so heal yourself)
I'm making it clear
There's nothing to fear
In my world
When you walk alone
You're not on your own
If you realize
What's behind my eyes
So please understand
I'm holding your hand
I'm leading you blind
Inside my mind
So let your troubles fly, yeah
Dreams are made and broken
In my mind
Do you feel the same inside?
Dreams are made and broken
In my mind
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
I'm making it clear
That I am not afraid
Nothing to fear
I say the future is here
It's a new frontier
There's nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
I'm making it clear
That I am not afraid
Nothing to fear
You've faced the new frontier
So sound the 'all clear'
There's nothing to fear
But fear itself
Love And Glory lyrics - Billy Idol
Baby, don't you know
How long I've been waiting?
Oh my soul
I said now
Girl, don't you know
How long I've been thinking?
Oh oh oh
Guess I'm spinning my wheels
I'm going nowhere fast
'Cause every love I've ever had, girl
It just don't last
I don't know what it means
'Cause I'm living all my dreams
But I'm still waiting patiently for you, oh-oh
Girl, don't you know
How long I've been falling on the ground
Waiting for a chance
To turn my world around?
For in another universe
Where the planets are reversed
Would I still be waiting patiently for you?
Love and glory
That's the story
That's the way I want to live my life
Love and glory
That's the story
Of you and me, of all our lives
All my life to learn, oh yeah
Yeah
Now I see your face
I need your loving embrace
For a life turned upside down, babe
Don't let it go to waste
And now I can see
Everything it could be
So I'm still waiting patiently for you, yeah
Love and glory
That's the story
That's the way I want to live my life
Love and glory
That's the story
Of you and me, of all our lives
Love and glory
That's the story
In my world there ain't no black or white
Love and glory
That's the story
Of you and me, of all our lives
Time won't stop me dreaming of someone
Won't stop me dreaming of someone now
Ain't gonna lose it this time
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Whiskey And Pills lyrics - Billy Idol
Go!
The sun, you know, it rots my brain
The way I walk is with a cane
The wind, it blows, it takes me in
And times it turns, it makes me thin, yeah
My life is going down the drain
My wife, you know, she went insane
My kids are messed up in the brain
But when I'm high, I feel no shame
When my mind won't hold still
When I feel the sickening chills
When I feel I've had my fill
And every voice I hear is shrill
I calm myself with whiskey and pills
I calm myself with whiskey and pills
The people I know
Their number's changed
Their view of me is rearranged
The way I see they're really strange
I've got no reason to play their game, yeah
They look at me with eyes a stare
I look at them, but I don't care
I tell them all, what's fair is fair
And here and there and everywhere
When my mind won't hold still
When I feel the sickly chills
When I feel I've had my fill
And every voice I hear is shrill
I call upon my friends
Whiskey and pills
I call upon my friends
Whiskey and pills
Ooh, ooh, whiskey and pills
When you see me
I'm a-roaming around
My face hits the pavement
Yes, I'm on the ground
Turn me around, see if I'm okay
Check out this smile
That's on my face
Yeah yeah!
Ow!
Yeah yeah!
I never thought I was gonna die
Until I stared into God's eyes
He said to me, "Well, come on, son
Better shape up, boy, your days are done."
Ow! Wow!
Up my mind I got the chills (Brr!)
Even though he talked with skill
Of the voice I heard the shrill
It was a sound I had to kill
I turned around and grabbed
The whiskey and pills
Can't say goodbye to
Whiskey and pills
Ow, I call upon my friends
Whiskey and pills
I calm myself with
Whiskey and pills
Whiskey and pills
Ooh, pills, yeah
Whiskey and pills, yeah
Whiskey and pills, yeah
Whiskey and pills, yeah
Whiskey and pills, yeah
Whiskey and pills
Ow!
Hollywood Promises lyrics - Billy Idol
I need a name, a place in the game
A way to sustain my stake in the frame
Then Hollywood, you come callin'
Oh, fickle fate, will it happen too late?
With the morning sun will I be done, or in Hollywood?
And she starts bawlin'
I'm talkin' 'bout the weatherman with his golden tan
Has a master plan, he's talkin' 'bout Hollywood
Hollywood promises
Now, I live in the hills on whiskey and pills
And inside my head, I vanquish the dead
And Hollywood, she's rewardin'
Well I'm riding the wave
Yes, and rock n' roll saves
And right to the top and down I'll drop
And Hollywood, you com crawlin'
Talkin' 'bout the actor man who needs a chance
But he's cleaning vans
I'm talkin' 'bout hooker bars and the crazy cars
Searching' for the stars
I'm talkin' 'bout Hollywood
Hollywood promises
Hollywood promises is it a dream?
Hollywood promises, another crazy
Hollywood promises is it a dream?
Hollywood promises, another crazy
Star, star, star
You're a star, star, star
You're a star, star, star
You're a star!
Am I inside a trap?
Just a star on the map?
Am I failin' in my dreams?
Torn apart at the seams
In Hollywood, and she's callin'
Talkin' 'bout the screaming' fans holdin' out their hands
It's all empty man
I'm talkin' 'bout the city fools and the swimming pools
Get the crazy blues
I'm talkin' 'bout the studio head telling me I'm dead
Get out of Babylon, yeah
Talkin' 'bout Hollywood
Hollywood promises
