Music for every situation

Nazareth - This flight tonight (1973)

Look out the left the captain said
The lights down there that's where we'll land
Saw a falling star burning
High above the Las Vegas sand

It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailers
Not the early one that you wish upon
Not the northern one that guides in the sailors

You've got that touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so cryptical
Can't talk to you babe you know I get so weak
Sometimes I think that love is just mythical

Up there's a heaven, down there's a town
Blackness everywhere any little lights shine
Blackness, blackness draggin' me down
Come on light a candle in this heart of mine

Starbright, starbright, you've got the lovin' that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on this flight tonight

I'm drinkin' sweet champagne
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you, can't drum you out of my mind

They're singin' "Goodbye baby
Baby bye-bye,
Ooh! love is blind"

Up go the flaps, down go the wheels
Hope you got your heat turned on baby
Hope they've finally fixed your automobile
Hope it's better when we meet again babe

Golden Earring - Radar love (1973)

I've been drivin' all night
My hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says I need you here
And it's half past four and I'm shifting gear

When she's lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
We don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a wave in the air, radar love

The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming on Strong"
The road's got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise

When I get lonely, and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, comin' in from above
Don't need no radio at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a line in the sky

No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow

And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming on Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
One more radar lover's gone

When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends the comfort coming in from above
Don't need no radio at all
We got a thing that's called radar love
We got a line in the sky
We got a thing that's called radar love
We got a thing that's called radar love

Slade - Skweeze me pleeze me (1973)

You know how to skweeze me, oh oh
You know how to pleeze me, oh oh
You're learning it easy, oh oh
And I thought you might like to know
When a girl's meaning yes, she says no
You got rude talk, you got one walk
All your jokes are blue
You've got long nails, you tell tall tales
Some you think are true

And there's nowhere to go you won't go
If there's nowhere to run you go slow
If you move up to me then I'll show you the way
Then you'll know how to skweeze me, oh oh
You know how to pleeze me, oh oh
You're learnin' it easy, oh oh
And I thought you'd might like to know
How to skweeze me, oh oh
You know how to pleeze me, oh oh
You're learnin' it easy, oh oh
And I thought you might like to know
When a girl's meaning yes, she says no

You got a sweet tongue you sing love songs
Can't you learn to spell
Take me back 'ome, you got it all wrong
'Cos we sing that as well

And there's nowhere to go you won't go
If there's nowhere to run you go slow
If you move up to me then I'll show you the way
Then you'll know how to skweeze me, oh oh
You know how to pleeze me, oh oh
You're learnin' it easy, oh oh
And I thought you'd might like to know
How to skweeze me, oh oh

Mud - Dynamite (1973)

Nobody knew her name
She turned up just the same
There was a knock on the door
A bump on the floor
And the party turned insane
She called out her name

Then she walked in looking like dynamite
She said now come along boogaloo through the night
And by the way she's moving well dynamite
Might she not, we're all she's got
She's got the whole town lighting up dynamite
Nobody quite knows what to do wrong or right
But they all know Dyna is dynamite
And they're right

She hadn't been there long
When she told us where she came from
There was a flash in the sky
A light in her eye
And the dynamite light burned on
As the music went on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on

Then she walked in looking like dynamite
She said now come along boogaloo through the night
And by the way she's moving well dynamite
Might she not, we're all she's got
She's got the whole town lighting up dynamite
Nobody quite knows what to do wrong or right
But they all know Dyna is dynamite
And they're right

And then she walked in looking like dynamite
She said now come along boogaloo through the night
And by the way she's moving well dynamite
Might she not, we're all she's got
She's got the whole town lighting up dynamite
Nobody quite knows what to do wrong or right
But they all know Dyna is dynamite
And they're right
And they're right
And then she walked in looking like dynamite

Blue Öyster Cult - Hot rails to hell (1973)

Riding the underground
Swimming in sweat
A rumble above and below
Hey cop don't you know
The heats on alright
The hot summer day didn't quit for the night

1277 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
1277 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
You caught me in its spell
Trying to leave but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn your eyes out

Blackened out eyes
Scratched on the wall
Stoned out looks from the crowd
The king will not know
On the wall it was said
The flash of his cards was sprayed with red

1277 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
1277 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
You caught me in its spell
Trying to leave but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn your eyes out

1277 express to...
1277 express to...

1277 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
1277 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
You caught me in its spell
Trying to leave but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn...
Yeah, burn...burn your eyes out, your eyes out

Your eyes out

The Hollies - The day that Curly Billy shot down crazy Sam McGee (1973)

Big tall man standing in the street
Gun hanging by his side
Just one man that he'd like to meet
That's when I began to hide

I recognised him from the face of his son
The hate in his eye didn't lie
And what I did can't be undone
Borrowed time there's none to buy

Well, I hid round the back of a derelict shack
Ain't looking for a mad showdown
But he was smart, he'd already checked
A week in advance I'd paid down

Well, the hotel clerk was a fun-loving man
The job he had it didn't pay
He told all about what happened that night
There he is, that's the one's all he'd say

Well, all the people were running, jumping
Even jumping
On my bad neighbours door
Crying Curly Billy silly with his colt he calls Filly
Let me in, I gotta hide
Well, everybody was crying
Sighing Sam McGee's dying
No one to protect our town
Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls Filly
He's gonna shoot your sheriff down

Big tall man standing in the street
Now a hand hovering ready to slide
Drew out his gun it wasn't for fun
Let me in there's nowhere to hide

Well, I made my play but it wasn't my day
I felt the ripping lead
That's when I knew my time was through
Rest in peace were the last words he said

Well, all the people were running, jumping
Even jumping
On my bad neighbours door
Crying Curly Billy silly with his colt he calls Filly
Let me in, I gotta hide
Well, everybody was crying
Sighing Sam McGee's dying
No one to protect our town
Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls Filly
He's gonna shoot your sheriff down

Well, all the people were running, jumping
Even jumping
On my bad neighbours door...

Led Zeppelin - The ocean (1973)

Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain 
Got no time to pack my bag
My foots outside the door
I got a date, I can't be late
For the high hopes Hailla Ball

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free, play for me
And play a whole lot more, more
Singing about good things
And the sun that lights the day
I used to sing on the mountains
Has the ocean lost it's way

Sitting round singing songs
'Til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains
But the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs
To the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old
And it's a real fine way to start

Iggy & The Stooges - Search and destroy (1973)

I'm a street walking cheetah
With a heart full of napalm
I'm a runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb
I am a world's forgotten boy
The one who searches and destroys

Honey gotta help me please
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby detonate for me

Look out honey, 'cause I'm using technology
Ain't got time to make no apology
Soul radiation in the dead of night
Love in the middle of a fire fight

Honey gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby penetrate my mind

And I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
And honey I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin', only to destroy

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Look out honey, 'cause I'm using technology
Ain't got time to make no apology
Soul radiation in the dead of night
Love in the middle of a fire fight

Honey gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby penetrate my mind

And I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
And honey I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy

Forgotten boy, forgotten boy
Forgotten boy said
Hey forgotten boy...

The Sweet - Ballroom Blitz (1973)

Are you ready Steve? Aha
Andy? Yeah
Mick? Okay
Alright fellas, let's go

Oh it's been getting so hard
Living with the things you do to me
Well things are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see

Oh, I see a man in the back as a matter of fact
His eyes were as red as the sun
And the girl in the corner that no one ignores
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

Oh yeah, it was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And the man in the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said boy I want to warn you
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz

Oh, reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
Oh, I softly call you over
When you appear there's nothing left of you

And the man in the back is ready to crack
As he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's mourner
She could kill you with a wink of her eye

Oh yeah, it was electric
So frantically hectic
And the band started leaving
'Cause they all stopped breathing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And the man in the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said boy I want to warn you
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

Oh yeah, it was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And the man in the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said boy I want to warn you

The Who - Relay (1973)

You can hear it in the street
See it in the dragging feet
The word is getting out about control
Spies they've come and gone, the story travels on
The only quiet place is inside your soul

From tree to tree, from you to me
Traveling twice as fast as on any freeway
Every single dream, wrapped up in the scheme
They all get carried on the relay

Relay, things are brewing
Relay, something's doing
Relay, there's a revolution
Relay, relay, hand me down a solution, yeah
Pass it on, come on, a relay

Someone disapproves of what you say and do
I was asked to see what I could really learn you
Don't believe your eyes, they're telling only lies
What is done in the first place don't concern you

From tree to tree, from you to me
Traveling twice as fast as on any freeway
Every single dream wrapped up in the scheme
They all get carried on the relay

Relay, things are brewing
Relay, something's doing
Relay, there's a revolution
Relay, relay, hand me down a solution, yeah
Pass it on, pass it on, pass it on
Hey you, pass it on
We're on the relay, get a moving
Get on a moving on
The relay, the relay, the relay, the relay

Grand Funk Railroad - Walk like a man (1973)

Walk like a man, and talk like a man
Walk like a man, hey baby
You can call me your man

A little girl asked me what am I gonna do
When I get old and blue and worn clear through
And I say by that time I ought to be in my prime
I'm gonna' strut like a cock until I'm ninety-nine

I'm gonna...
Walk like a man, and talk like a man
Walk like a man, hey baby
You can call me your man

Sometimes I feel it's gettin' late
In life, all that settlin' down can wait
'Till my routine days all seem the same
Right now, I've got to get on out
I've got to make my day

I'm gonna...
Walk like a man, and talk like a man
Walk like a man, hey baby
You can call me your man

Walk like a man, and talk like a man
Walk like a man, hey baby
You can call me your man

The Rolling Stones - Doo doo doo doo doo (Heartbreaker) (1973) 

The police in New York City
They chased a boy right through the park
And in a case of mistaken identity
They put a bullet through his heart

Heartbreakers with your forty four
I wanna tear your world apart
You heartbreaker with your forty four
I wanna tear your world apart

A ten-year old girl on a street corner
Sticking needles in her arm
She died in the dirt of an alleyway
Her mother said she had no chance, no chance

Heartbreaker, heartbreaker
She stuck the pins right in her heart
Heartbreaker, painmaker
Stole the love right out of you heart

Oh yeah, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo 
Oh yeah, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo 
I wanna tear your world apart 
Oh yeah, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo 
Oh yeah, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo 
I wanna tear your world apart

Heartbreaker, heartbreaker
You stole the love right out of my heart
Heartbreaker, heartbreaker
I wanna tear your world apart

I...I...I wanna tear that world apart 
Heartbreaker, heartbreaker
You stole the love right
You stole the love right

Birth Control - Gamma Ray (1973)

The world is pervated with
Ironie, hunger and corruption
The Eastern world and the Africans too
Are going to repeat the history of our wars
And our industry supplies them with arms
Everybody knows, but apparently
Nobody can do anything against it
For our society is on the make

Well, sometimes, sometimes
I tried to draw up a list
I tried to find out what death had done
I thought of honourable murderers you know
Like jobbers and mad Rabble-Rousers
At anytime, everywhere in the whole world

If I were a Gamma Ray, a Gamma Gamma
Gamma Ray made of pure existence
If I were a Gamma Ray, a Gamma Gamma
Gamma Ray mighty and unfailing
I'd radiate love, to fight misery

Without a body I could fly round the world
Destroying arms, destroying rockets
Mix-Up complexions of the whole human race
We all would turn into chocolate people
Everybody, everywhere in the whole world

If I were a Gamma Ray, a Gamma Gamma
Gamma Ray made of pure existence
If I were a Gamma Ray, a Gamma Gamma
Gamma Ray mighty and unfailing
I'd radiate love, to fight misery

Thin Lizzy - The rocker (1973)

I am your main man if you're looking for trouble
I'll take no lip 'cause no ones tougher than me
If I kicked your face you'd soon be seeing double
Hey little girl, keep your hands off me
'Cause I'm a rocker, I'm a rocker
I'm a roller too, baby
I'm a rocker

Down at the juke joint me and the boys were stompin'
Bippin' an a boppin', telling a dirty joke or two
In walked this chick and I knew she was up to something
I kissed her right there out of the blue

I said, Hey baby, meet me I'm a tough guy
Got my cycle outside, you wanna try
She just looked at me and rolled them big eyes
And said, Ooh I'd do anything for you
'Cause you're a rocker
That's right I'm a rocker
I'm a roller too, honey
I'm a rocker!

I love to rock and roll
I get my records from the Rock on stall
Rock and roll
Teddy boy, he's got them all, all, all, all, all

(Ro-cker)
I love to rock and roll
I get my records from the Rock on stall
Sweet rock and roll
Teddy boy, he's got them all, all, all, all, all

Pink Floyd - Money (1973)

Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're okay
Money it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money get back
I'm alright Jack, keep your hands off my stack
Money it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the Hi-Fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear Jet

Money it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise
That they're giving none away, away, away...

Don't try to be anything else but what you are
Don't try to do anything else but the things you do
'Cause I had a dream about the seven stars
And the seven good things that you are to me

The very reason I'm livin' is just for lovin' you
And the seasons are changin' makin' it all come true
'Cause with the spring and the clearing skies
Love's soft light will fill my eyes for you

Who fills my head with these dreams
As I'm leaving my mind
Leaving my mind
Seven new stars are born, seven lie waiting to die
Seven new stars

The very reason I'm livin' is just for lovin' you
And the seasons are changin' makin' it all come true
'Cause I had a dream about the seven stars
And the seven good things that you are to me

Who fills my head with these dreams
As I'm leaving my mind
Leaving my mind
Seven new stars are born, seven lie waiting to die

The Doobie Brothers - China grove (1973)

When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
Down around San Antone
And the folks are risin' for another day
'Round about their homes

The people of the town are strange
And they're proud of where they came
Well, you're talkin' bout China grove
Oh, China grove

Well, the preacher and the teacher
Lord, they're a caution
They are the talk of the town
When the gossip gets to flyin'
And they ain't lyin'
When the sun goes fallin' down

They say that the fathers insane
And dear missus perkins a game
We're talkin' 'bout the China grove
Oh, China grove

But every day there's a new thing comin'
The ways of an oriental view
The sheriff and his buddies
With their samurai swords
You can even hear the music at night

And though it's a part of the lone star state
People don't seem to care
They just keep on lookin' to the east

Talkin' bout the China grove
Oh, China grove
