[Spoken]
Ya know we get, we’re getting a bit confused up here.
It’s your licensing laws.
We’ve just taken a vote; apparently this is something called Natural Thing

[Intro]

Said she came from Memphis
You can look but please don't touch
Didn't like rock and rollers
It seemed a bit much too much

Cause it's the natural thing you git at the start
The natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, you git at the start
Then she'll never let you go

Hey girl, now does it feel alright
D’ya think I'm getting through
Don't you think it feels real tight
Wait till we start to move

May sound funny but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny but you gave it to me
Now I got to live without it

[Instrumental]

Gittin’ on down to Atlanta
I got to move my feet
Ya know I’m down for the last encore
With every star she meets

Cause it's the natural thing you git at the start
The natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, you git at the start
Then she'll never let you go

Hey girl, now does it feel alright
D’ya think I'm getting through
Don't you think it feels real tight
Wait till we start to move

May sound funny but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny but you gave it to me
Now I got to live without it

[Instrumental to end]

Lady love to hang on
Lady like a real intel-lectual
Sweet sister you’re still shaking
And your tragedy is never ending
Silver shoes you're wearing
Every window that you've ever stared in
Over my head, over my head

Sidewalks of the city
Every theater there you've ever played
Your comic book impersonations
Wish for cinder embers to keep
Over my head, so it's all…

Out in the streets for just one more matinee
Yes, your vaudeville carries on
So put a smile in front your man can see
Yes your vaudeville carries on

[Instrumental]

Out in the street for just one more matinee
Yes, your vaudeville carries on
So put a smile in front your man can see
Yes your vaudeville carries on

Lady love to hang on
Lady like a real intel-lectual
Sweet sister you’re still shaking
And your tragedy is never ending
Over my head, over my head

Who’s taking time out, we’ll take a shine out
We’re the boys we got nothing to lose
I’ve had enough now of school and stuff now
If you ain’t with us then it’s just bad news

Only you can rock me rock me
Come on back now d o it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kicking out just like a hurrican3

We can’t wait from day to day
Cuz we’ve got something to say
We can’t wait from day to day
Cuz we’ve got something to say

Come on the street now on every corner
Breaking out and we’re doing what we want to
Just like a jewel shines in the night
She burns so hot out under the street light

Chorus

We are here and there’s no end
We keep on coming again
We are here and there’s no end
We just keep coming again

Instrumental

Who’s taking time out, we take a shine out
We’re the boys we got nothing to lose
I’ve had enough now of school

And stuff now
If you ain’t with us then it’s just bad news

Only you can rock me, rock me
Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kickin’ out just like a hurricane

We can’t wait from day to day
Cuz we’ve got something to say
We are here and there’s no end
We’ll keep on coming again

We can’t wait from day to day
Cuz we’ve got something to say
We are here and there’s no end
We’ll keep on coming again

Only You Can Rock Me

Michael Schenker; Phil Mogg

Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess Im in
Doctor doctor, please,
Oh the mess Im in
She walked up to me
And really stole my heart
And then she started
To take my body apart

*livin, lovin, Im on the run
Far away from you
Livin, lovin, Im on the run
So far away from you

Doctor doctor, please
Oh, Im goin fast
Doctor doctor, please,
Oh, Im goin fast
Its only just a moment,
Shes turnin paranoid
Thats not a situation for a nervous boy

Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess Im in
Doctor doctor, please,
Oh, the mess Im in
But you look so angry
As I crawled across your floor
Shes got the strain,
And I cant take any more

*repeat
*repeat

Try to make some changes really on the line
Given your religion, never ever time
All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor
Don't misunderstand it, baby needs some more

Lovin' up some ransom, weapon and a gun
Just your education, hard to understand
Will the teenage lesion make a mark on you
Make a big tome status, then we run them through

Mother Mary could you ever really feel the same
And would you try to understand a wild colonial boy

Try to make some changes really on the line
Given your religion, never ever time
All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor
Don't misunderstand it, baby needs some more

Mother Mary could you ever really feel the same
And would you try to understand a wild colonial boy

Michael Schenker; Phil Mogg; Schenkar

Kid's gettin' tired, hangin' around
So cocksure, thinkin' aloud
Can't get it in (when you) can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt

You can't stop a train with just a smile
Stop me at the start only for a while
Hole in my pocket and a hole in my arm
All that's left when life's lost it's charm

This could be for us just any other day
So come on girl, we really got to get away
It's the only chance you'll ever have to change
Or stick in this city will drive you insane

*

Can't win or lose when there's little left to choose
Now 'til next year it'll always be the same
The black backstreets and people who don't know your name
Go with the wind if it'll only carry us away

Between The Walls
No Lyrics - Instrumental

Michael Schenker; Phil Mogg

Oh it’s been too many times and I can’t go back
Night bars, guitars, rundown motels like shacks
What it mounts up to I don’t want it at all
Lost you and I want you today

* misty green and blue
Love to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Love to love to love you

To be something, to be with you
Don’t say that you’ll never know
Love to love to love you

[instrumental]

Half the time it could seem funny
The other half is just too sad
This west bound moon’s they rise and fall
Lost you and I want you today

* repeat

To be something, to be near you
I don’t know where I’m goin’ to
I’ve tried and I need you to stay

[instrumental]
