Torment in Tehran

Hi-jack city in the dark of night
Desert stretches out beyond our sight
Terror of their mission, another mystery flight
Across the sea, toward the fading light
The world looks on in anger
The hostage cries to sleep
Victim of a bloody circumstance
No-one gives a damn
For the terror in Tehran
Torment in Tehran
Torment in Tehran
Torment in Tehran
Negotiations on the hour, pressure starts to swell
The rescue from this bloody airborne hell
Some will die, some may live, how many, none can tell
But the mercenaries game is bound to fail
Doesn't stand for justice
Doesn't live for peace
Just fighting for a cause that has no plan
No-one gives a damn
For the terror in Tehran
Torment in Tehran
Torment in Tehran
Torment in Tehran

Spending each working day, holed up inside
A factory condemned in 1955, I don't know why
Check out the gig guide, living in hope
Look for the band, you want to devote
A lifetime to, and that's no crime
Do it for danger, do it for kicks
Do what you want, you're proud of it
You've got your rightrs, no-one can deny
One hand held high
One hand held high
Live for the weekend, party all night
Sweat through the leather, wearin' your jeans oh so tight
And hold your heads high
Come from all corners, packed to the stage
Givin' it all, oh what a rage
It's a sight to see, give it to me
Do it for danger, do it for kicks
Do what you want, you're proud of it
You've got your rights, no-one can deny
One hand held high
One hand held high
Ruled by the moon, live for the night
Just show me your hands, it'll be alright
All in all, we stand alone
Join together, and enter the danger zone

Keepin' time with my cigarette
Shakin' like a fool
Gettin' faster as I drink my wine
Feedin' on rocket fuel
You can run, you can fly
But you can't hide your snowcone eyes
You're so sly, and you try
But you can't hide your cocaine eyes
Watching the lines go down
Hot dog, I'm a weak at the knees
I got a loaded gun
Gonna have one helluva time
Lookin' after number one
You can run, you can slide
But you can't hide your loose-head mind
You're so sly, and you try
But you can't hide your cocaine eyes
Watching the lines go down
Well if it's hot, it's alright
Burnin' down one side
You'd better let it run wild and free
And there's only one stop
and you can't get off
You're a train that's out of control
Hot dog, I'm a weak at the knees
I got a loaded gun
Gonna have one helluva time
Lookin' after number one
You can run, you can slide
But you can't hide your loose-head mind
You're so sly, and you try
But you can't hide your cocaine eyes
Watching the lines go down

On the end of a string

Hot for satisfaction, mother of pearl
You got everything a man could want from a girl
You got elusive eyes, so shy and sweet
You're so hot, I can't stand the heat
It's first blood, you're playin' dirty and mean
and I'm fighting back with my love machine
Your reputation stands unmatched
There's no tricks, there's no catch
On the end of a string I got you
Bending to all my desires
On the end of a string I got you
So hot I'm burning with fire
Young in the tooth, busted and brazen
It's hard to keep up with the midnight raven
In for the kill, no holds barred
You're mine for the taking, but that ain't hard
I see through your eyes, I'm a distant stranger
You know what I want, and that spells danger
A marionette, from my deepest dreams
The wildest thing, that I've ever seen
It's first blood, you're playin' dirty and mean
and I'm fighting back with my love machine
Your reputation stands unmatched
There's no tricks, there's no catch
On the end of a string I got you
Bending to all my desires
On the end of a string I got you
So hot I'm burning with fire

Visions of a dreamer

Night time and fantasy
Step into twilight zone fever
Why such a man of foresight
Misunderstood and made a martyr
All night long, living in a dream
The future just appears
Lost once more, deep into the night
Caught on an endless flight
These are the visions of a dreamer
He's years ahead of us
A heretic in his own lifetime
There's no-one he can trust
The knowledge would be his decline
All night long, living in a dream
The future just appears
Lost once more, deep into the night
Caught on an endless flight
These are the visions of a dreamer
Nostradamus style
The message must be left in code
He feels responsible and has
To bear this heavy load
All night long, living in a dream
The future just appears
Lost once more, deep into the night
Caught on an endless flight
These are the visions of a dreamer

It sure ain't easy to tie me down
But I'm not playing hard to get
I've blown every cent on rock 'n roll
There's nothing to show for it yet
Seven long years is a hell of a time
Waiting for a fool like me
But if it works out, it'll be my shout
And you can start livin' rent free
We've fought through the bad
We've laughed through the good times
Don't throw it away in desperation
No No wooah
Money can't change your mind
And I know you can't take any more
And I know we've been wasting time
Just hold on a little bit more
I know it's a shame
And I tried so hard to please you
I wrote you letters every single day
To keep your mind at ease
I've broken promise after promise
I confess - I'm guilty of that crime
I could make it up to you in a single day
I just ain't had the time
wooah
Money can't change your mind
And I know you can't take any more
And I know we've been wasting time
Just hold on a little bit more
Money can't change your mind
Do anything you wanna do
Money can't change your mind
You can spend up big but hold on to love
wooah
Money can't change your mind
And I know you can't take any more
And I know we've been wasting time
Just hold on a little bit more
wooah
Money can't change your mind
And I know you can't take any more
And I know we've been wasting time
Just hold on a little bit more
wooah
Money can't change your mind
And I know you can't take any more
And I know we've been wasting time
Just hold on a little bit more
wooah
Money can't change your mind
And I know you can't take any more
And I know we've beeen wasting time
Just hold on a little bit more

Sneakin' out the door like a slick machine
Got to do it right, keep the record clean
Playground duties, take it in my stride
Can't see no wrong, in a bit on the side
I can beg you to stop
But you won't let up
and my only relief at the end of the week
In the nick of time, I've been saved by the bell
Saved by the bell, Saved by the bell...
High school teacher, got a crush on you
And the principal don't know what you get up to
You're wearing me out with my daily detention
If we get caught, it's a three month suspension
I can beg you to stop
But you won't let up
and my only relief at the end of the week
In the nick of time, I've been saved by the bell
Saved by the bell, Saved by the bell...
Did I pass my exams, with your helping hand
I got lessons in physical education
Who'll explain, this ball and chain

Hellraiser

You got a big reputation for whipping up a storm
And your mama won't like it, if you keep up that form
You got lips like an angel, you got hips that swing
And you're driving me crazy, you're such a sweet thing
So C'mon, get down, it's a natural thing
Take me in your guardian wing
Chew it up, spit it out
Show this town what it's all about
'Cause you're a hellraiser
Oh she's a hellraiser
Don't you know, she's a hellraiser
Scratch like a cat, but don't put up no fight
I got a booked reservation, I got front row seats
For a sell out performance, ain't no-one can beat
Don't need no commitment, don't need guarantees
I know I'm backing a winner, and I'm beggin' you please
So C'mon, get down, it's a natural thing
Take me in your guardian wing
Chew it up, spit it out
Show this town what it's all about
'Cause you're a hellraiser
Oh she's a hellraiser
Don't you know, she's a hellraiser
Barks like a dog, but you know she won't bite
You're a hellraiser
Oh she's a hellraiser
Don't you know she's a hellraiser
And she'll scratch like a cat
Hellraiser
Oh she's a hellraiser
Don't you know she's a hellraiser
Barks like a dog, but you know she won't bite

Heart attack
03:58
|
|
||
|
Out of the darkness, a shadow crossed his face
A brush with the wicked, a mortal takes his place
A turn for the cold, shivers down the spine
No resolution, the end of the line
And like a drowning rat, he clutches at the straw
A final flash of light, the closing of the door
It's a heart attack
Cracks like thunder in the pouring rain
It's a heart attack
Strikes like lightning, now you feel no pain
No rest for the good man, no rest for the bad
Still shaken, has he been mistaken, or is he going mad
and in the aftermath, the flashes fade to grey
Will he ever rise again, to see the light of day
It's a heart attack
Cracks like thunder in the pouring rain
It's a heart attack
Strikes like lightning, now you feel no pain
Heartbeats - faster
Pulse rate - increased
Threshold - advancing
Body's got the beat
And like a drowning rat, he clutches at the straw
A final flash of light, the closing of the door
Cracks like thunder in the pouring rain
Strikes like lightning, now you feel no pain
It's a heart attack
Cracks like thunder in the pouring rain
It's a heart attack
Strikes like lightning, now you feel no pain

I fell in love with their newer album, so i decided to get this one as well, and I do thank my greed for awesome NWOTHM for this good choice! I mean it's great music like Crimson Glory and Judas Priest, with very talented guitar players, and a very high-pitched vocals à la Helloween and Whitesnake and IMHO really cool lyrics. Really enjoy WoS and can't wait to see them live on stage!!!

A criminally underrated album of a criminally underrated and underexposed genre. The production values here are so authentically 1980s. A good balance of traditional hard rock, synths, and strong melodies, with a spooky yet nostalgic feel, with the songs carefully curated for a strong experience start to finish. For those lonely nights, stuck in your bedroom, reminiscing days gone by: listen to this.

So Dirty Right
by Dangerous Curves
supported by 4 fans who also own “ONE MAN ARMY”
I told myself I'd review when I could pick a favourite song. I still can't really pick one -- it'd be easier to list the ones I like the least, but even they've grown on me to a point where I want to listen to them frequently ("Funky Bonez", I'm lookin' you!). At a push it's probs "I Need Lovin'" that beats the rest -- there's just something special about it. There's something special about the whole album, really. I love the different influences in it. Guys, keep doin' you!♡
