1.Young Blood

(coverdale/marsden)

If you feel the rolling thunder
An' your eyes see lightning strike,
Don't be afraid, just call on me
I'll bring you shelter from the night

When the wind is howling
I'll hold you near,
An' soothe your troubled mind
With a little bit of this,
An' a little bit of that
I'll make you leave all your worries behind

Don't try to hold on to what you got,
'cos i got what you need
Don't try to hold on, for anyone,
Come on, give it to me

Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood
Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood
Youngblood...

When you're burning hot with fever
An' you shake down to your bones,
Don't get yourself into a cold sweat
'cos it's just your bad blood throwing stones
The devil has got your number
An' he wants you hanging on a line,
But, before the night is over, baby
I'm gonna make you mine

Don't try to hold on to what you got,
'cos i got what you need
Don't try to hold on, for anyone,
Come on, give it to me

Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood
Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood
I'm coming to get you

Don't try to hold on to what you got,
'cos i got what you need
Don't try to hold on, for anyone,
Come on, give it to me

Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood...

I'm gonna make you mine...


2.Rough An' Ready

(coverdale/moody)

I take what i want
An' i steal anything that i need,
I would do anything
To get my satisfaction guaranteed

'cos i'm looking for love,
The time has come
I'm looking for love,
An' i mean to get me some
I'm looking for love right now,
An' i'm rough an' ready

All of you woman better
Lift up your skirts an' run,
'cos i aim to shoot my pistol
An' fire like a gatlin gun

'cos i'm looking for love,
Believe me when i say
I'm looking for love,
In the worst kind of way
I'm looking for love right now
An' i'm rough an' ready

Rough an' ready...

Rough an' ready...

I take what i want
An' i steal anything that i need,
I would do anything
To get my satisfaction guaranteed

'cos i'm looking for love,
The time has come
I'm looking for love,
An' i mean to get me some
I'm looking for love right now,
An' i'm rough an' ready

Rough an' ready...


3.Bloody Luxury

(coverdale)

Now when i first met you
I was rolling along,
Just a bar room crooner
Singing heartbreak songs,
An' i supposed i could never get next to you
But, you seemed quite happy with my company
You kept my body heat steady at 103,
With your mouth full of gimme
An' your body full of much obliged

It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
Bloody luxury
What you do to me
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
'cos no matter what you do to me
It's bloody luxury
Bloody luxury...

You're a five star woman,
An' you know what to give
To fill a part time loser
Full of reasons to live,
But, there's no doubt about it
I'm taking a chance on you
Becos' you get my heart beating heavy,
Make my knees go weak
You get me so damn nervous
I can hardly speak,
But, nothing's gonna stop me
Hanging on my good luck charm

It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
Bloody luxury
What you do to me
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
'cos no matter what you do to me
It's bloody luxury
Bloody luxury...

It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
Bloody luxury
Honey what you do to me
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
'cos no matter what you do to me
It's bloody luxury

Bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
Bloody luxury
Honey what you do to me
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
'cos no matter what you do to me,
No matter what you do to me,
No matter what you do to me,
It's bloody luxury
Bloody luxury

Bloody luxury...


4.Victim Of Love

(coverdale)

I'm down on love
An' i don't give a damn,
I take my chances
Whenever i can
Like a lamb to the slaughter,
Another sacrifice,
For giving love to woman
With a heart stone cold as ice

I'm down on love
An' i'm clean out of pain,
I ain't no stranger
To the crying game
Too scared to suffer,
An' too blind to see,
But, i played with fire
An' i got what was coming to me

Now, one more heartache
Don't bother me,
Just one more lonely night
To drown in misery

I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, i never thought
I'd be a victim of love
Victim of love, victim of love,
Lord, i never thought
I'd be a victim of love

I'm down on love
An' i feel like a fool
To beg for mercy
'cos i broke the rules
So do me no favours
With your cool advice,
I know the losing cost,
An' i'll pay the price

One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery

I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, i never thought
I'd be a victim of love

Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, i never thought
I'd be a victim of love

One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery

Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, i never thought
I'd be a victim of love...


5.Crying In The Rain

(coverdale)

A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy
With the though of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life

I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel i'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind,
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But, a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain...

I can never deny
All the sweet things i have tasted
Tho' i've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more,
I know where i'm going
There's no hope of absolution
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain

Crying in the rain...


6.Love An' Affection

(coverdale/moody)

Well, i love the way you walk
With your skin tight stride,
You got my eyes wide open
An' my loose tongue tied
A french kiss mouth
An' a smile so bad,
You're the finest woman
That i ever had
So it's alright,
Do anything you wanna do

Nobody had to tell you
How to make a man's heart bleed,
Your mama always knew
You was born to succeed
I can see the honey juice
Dripping off your lips,
Girl, you got the midas touch
It's in your fingertips
But it's alright,
Do anything you wanna do

'cos after midnight, i'll be alright
Riding on cupid's train,
You give me loving, like i've never had before,
I'm back in the saddle again

So give me love an' affection,
Love an' affection
A little love an' affection
Sure 'nuff goes a long, long way

You put your arms around me
Like a circle 'round the sun,
Your eyes turn on the hypnotising game
You play for fun
I'm caught in your spell
Just like the spider an' the fly,
An' i can't break away from you
No matter how i try
But, it's alright,
Do anything you wanna do

'cos after midnight, i'll be alright
Riding on cupid's train,
You give me loving, like i've never had before,
I'm back in the saddle again

So give me love an' affection,
Love an' affection
A little love an' affection
Sure 'nuff goes a long, long way

'cos after midnight, i'll be alright
Riding on cupid's train,
You give me loving, like i've never had before,
I'm back in the saddle again

So give me love an' affection,
Love an' affection
A little love an' affection
Sure 'nuff goes a long, long way

Love an' affection
A little love an' affection
Baby, baby, love an' affection
Sure 'nuff goes a long, long way

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
I need love an' affection,
Sure 'nuff goes a long, long way...


7.Dancing Girls

(coverdale)

I don't need a doctor, i don't need a priest,
I don't need no superstitious cures for my release
I'm flesh an' blood, skin an' bone
A little petticoat company can't get me stoned

So just gimme the night,
Skin it back to the bone,
Turn on the spotlight

C'mon, bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls
You can dance, dance,
Dance for me,
Dance for your daddy all night...

I got a one track notion on a feminine squeeze,
A sackfull of love an' a mindful of fantasies
A midnight rider on a stallion steam,
I got an old man's weakness hanging on a young man's dream

So just gimme the night,
Skin it back to the bone,
Turn on the spotlight

C'mon, bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls
You can dance, dance,
Dance for me,
Dance for your daddy all night...

So just gimme the night,
Skin it back to the bone,
Turn on the spotlight

C'mon, bring on the dancing girls,

Bring on the dancing girls...


8.Saints An' Sinners

(coverdale/lord/moody/marsden/murray/paice)

Get ready for judgement day
An' the final curtain call,
Don't lie when you testify
'cos the good lord know you're all

Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves,
Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves

When moses stood on the red sea shore
Laying the law on the line,
He said don't come knocking
On the pearly gates
If all you did was have a real good time

Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves,
Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves

For what we are about to receive
May the lord make us truly thankful.

Saints an' sinners

I stand guilty of a thousand crimes,
An' i suffer temptation still,
Show me a man who won't give it to his woman
An' i'll show you somebody who will

Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves,
Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves

For what we are about to receive
May the lord make us truly thankful

Saints an' sinners,
Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves,

Get ready for judgement day
An' the final curtain call,
Don't lie when you testify
'cos the good lord know you're all

Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves,
Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves

For what we are about to receive
May the lord make us truly thankful

Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves

Saints an' sinners...


9.Rock An' Roll Angels

(coverdale/moody)

I'm goin' looking for a woman
With the night in her eyes,
Someone to take all the small talk
And laugh at the lies
A high heeled double trouble backstage queen,
Who gets what she wants
And knows where she's been

Alright show your hand,
I'm looking for the promise of a one night stand
So i'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight

You can see in my face
Just what i'm hoping to find,
I want a twelve bar beauty
With a one track mind
I don't drive babe, but, i can steer,
We got the green light let's get out of here

Alright show your hand,
I'm looking for the promise of a one night stand
So i'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight,
I said i'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight

When i saw you across the floor,
I could feel i wanted more
I get lonely in the night,
I would do anything, anything you say,
Do anything to take the pain away
So those lonely nights will be alright,
Don't worry honey, we can put out the light
I'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight,
I said i'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight

So i'm looking for a woman who got no shame,
'cos in the morning there'll be no one to blame.
A high heeled double trouble backstage queen,
Who gets what she wants and knows where she's been.

Alright show your hand,
I'm looking for the promise of a one night stand
So i'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight,
I said i'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight

Rock 'n' roll women, rock 'n' roll women,
Rock 'n' roll women gonna steal my heart away
Rock 'n' roll women, i said rock 'n' roll women,
I said rock 'n' roll women gonna steal my heart away

Rock 'n' roll women...

Talkin' 'bout rock 'n' roll women, rock 'n' roll women,
Rock 'n' roll women gonna steal my heart away
Rock 'n' roll women, rock 'n' roll women,
I said rock 'n' roll women gonna steal my heart away...


10.Here I Go Again

(coverdale/marsden)

I don't know where i'm going
But, i sure know where i've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' i've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here i go again
Here i go again

Tho' i keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what i'm looking for
Oh lord, i pray
You give me strength to carry on,
'cos i know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here i go again on my own
Goin' down the only road i've ever known,
Like a hobo* i was born to walk alone
An' i've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' i'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
'cos i know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here i go again on my own
Goin' down the only road i've ever known,
Like a hobo* i was born to walk alone
An' i've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

But, here i go again,
Here i go again,
Here i go again,
Here i go...

An' i've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time

An' here i go again on my own
Goin' down the only road i've ever known,
Like a hobo i was born to walk alone
'cos i know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here i go again on my own
Goin' down the only road i've ever known,
Like a hobo i was born to walk alone
An' i've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time...

But, here i go again,
Here i go again,
Here i go again,
Here i go,
Here i go again...

* in the 1987 version this word is changed to 'drifter'.
Davids management thought that hobo could be confused with homo!
