SAXON LYRICS

1. Paint It Black

[originally by The Rolling Stones]

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never coming back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens everyday

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I wanna see it painted black, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted black...

2. Immigrant Song

[originally by Led Zeppelin]

Ah-ah!
Ah-ah!

We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow

The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming

On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal is the western shore

Ah-ah!
Ah-ah!

We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow

How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore
Of how we calmed the tides of war
We are your overlords

On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal is the western shore

So now you'd better stop
And rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing

3. Paperback Writer

[originally by The Beatles]

Paperback writer...

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

It's the dirty story by a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand
His son is working for the Daily Mail
It's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

Paperback writer...

It's a thousand pages, give or take a few
I'll be writing more in a week or two
I can make it longer if you like the style
I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

If you really like it you can have the rights
It could make a million for you overnight
If you must return it, you can send it here
But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

Paperback writer...

Paperback writer
Paperback writer
Paperback writer
Paperback writer
Paperback writer
Paperback writer...

4. Evil Woman

[originally by Crow]

I see the look of evil in your eyes
You've been filling me all full of lies
Sorrow will not change your shameful deeds
You will bear someone else's bitter seed

Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me

Now I know just what you're looking for
You want me to claim this child you bore
Well, you know that it was he, not me
And you know the way it's got to be

Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Evil woman, don't you play your games with

Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me

Wickedness lies in your moistened lips
Your body moves just like the crack of a whip
Black cat sleeps on top of your stained bed
Don't you wish that you could see me dead?

Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Evil woman, don't you play your games with
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Evil woman, don't you play your games with

5. Stone Free

[originally by Jimi Hendrix]

Everyday in the week, I'm in a different city
If I stay too long, the people try to pull me down
They talk about me like a dog, talk about the clothes I wear
But they don't realize they're the ones who's squares, yeah

And that's why you can't hold me down
I don't wanna be down
I gotta move on, oh

I'm stone free, to do as I please
Stone free, to ride the breeze
Stone free, I can't stay
I've got to, got to, got to get away
I've got to, got to, got to get away
Listen to this

A woman here, a woman there, try to keep me in a plastic cage
But they don't realize it's so easy to break
But sometimes I can-a, feel my heart kind of running hot
That's when I got to move, before I get caught, hey

That's why, listen to me, you can't hold me down
I don't wanna be tied down
I gotta be free, eh

I said stone free, to do what I please
Stone free, to ride the breeze
Stone free, I can't stay
I got to, got to, got to get away
I got to, got to, got to get away, oh

Stone free, to ride the breeze
Stone free, to do what I please
Stone free, I can't stay
Stone free, I got to get away
Stone free, to do as I please
Stone free, to ride the breeze
Stone free, I can't stay
I got to, got to, got to get away, oh

Stone free
Stone free
Stone free
Stone free
Stone free

6. Bomber

[originally by Motörhead]

Ain't a hope in hell
Nothing gonna bring us down
The way we fly
Five miles off the ground, because

We shoot to kill
And you know we always will
It's a bomber, it's a bomber
It's a bomber

Scream a thousand miles
Hear the black death rising moan, hey
Firestorm coming closer
Napalm to the bone, because

You know we do it right
A mission every night
It's a bomber, it's a bomber
It's a bomber

No night fighter
Gonna stop us getting through
The sirens make you shiver
You bet my aim is true, because

You know we aim to please
Bring you to your knees
It's a bomber, it's a bomber
It's a bomber

7. Speed King

[originally by Deep Purple]

Good Golly, said little Miss Molly
When she was rockin' in the house of blue light
Tutti frutti, oh, so rooty
Rockin' to the east and west
Lucille was oh, so real
When she didn't do her daddies will
Come on baby, drive me crazy, do it, do it!

I'm a speed king, you go to hear me sing
I'm a speed king, see me fly

Saturday night and I just got paid
Gonna fool about ain't gonna save
People gonna rock some people gonna roll
Gonna have a party to save my soul
Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man
They been causing trouble since it all began
Take a little rice, take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans

I'm a speed king, you go to hear me sing
I'm a speed king, see me fly

Good Golly, little Miss Molly
When she was rockin' in the house of blue light
Tutti frutti, oh, so rooty
Rockin' to the east and west
Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man
They been causing trouble since it all began
Take a little rice, take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans

I'm a speed king, you go to hear me sing
I'm a speed king, see me fly
Speed king, you go to hear me sing
I'm a speed king, see me fly!

8. The Rocker

[originally by Thin Lizzy]

I am your main man
If you're looking for trouble
I'll take no lip
No-one's tougher than me
I kicked your face
You'd soon be seeing double
Hey little girl, keep your hands off of 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 stomping
Blipping and bopping, telling a dirty joke or two
In walked this chick and I knew she was up for 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, do you wanna try?"
She just looked at me and rolled them big eyes and said
Oh, 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

Rock and roll
I get my records at the rock on stall
Rock and roll
Teddy boy, you got it all

'Cause I'm a rocker
I'm a rocker
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller too, honey
'Cause I'm a rocker
'Cause I'm a rocker
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller too, honey

'Cause I'm a rocker
I'm a rocker
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller too, honey

9. Hold The Line

[originally by TOTO]

It's not in the way that you hold me
It's not in the way you say you care
It's not in the way you've been treating my friends
It's not in the way that you stayed till the end
It's not in the way you look
Or the things that you say that you'll do

Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time

It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look
Or the things that you say that you'll do

Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
(Love isn't always on time)

It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look
Or the things that you say that you'll do

Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
(Love isn't always on time)
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
(Love isn't always on time)

10. Problem Child

[originally by AC/DC]

I'm hot, when I'm not
I'm cold as ice
See me coming, step aside
Or pay the price

What I want, I take
What I don't, I break
And I don't want you
With a flick of my knife
I can change your life
There's nothing you can do

'Cause I'm a problem child
A problem child
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child

Every night, street light
I drink my booze
Some run, some fight
But I win, they lose

What I want, I stash
What I don't, I smash
And I don't like you
You say bye-bye
While you're still alive
'Cause your time is through

'Cause I'm a problem child
A problem child
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child

Make my stand, no man's land
On my own
Man in blue, it's up to you
The seed is sown

What I want, I stash
What I don't, I smash
And you're on my list
Dead or alive
I got a .45
Yeah, I never miss

'Cause I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
A problem child
A problem child
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child
A problem child

(A problem child
A problem child
A problem child
A problem child
A problem child
A problem child
A problem child)

11. See My Friends

[originally by The Kinks]

See my friends, see my friends
Laying 'cross the river
See my friends, see my friends
Laying 'cross the river

She is gone, she is gone
And now there's no one left
Except my friends
Laying 'cross the river

She just went, she just went
Went across the river
Now she's gone, now she's gone
Wish that I'd gone with her

She is gone, she is gone
And now there's no one left
Except my friends
Laying 'cross the river

She is gone
And now there's no one left to take her place
She is gone
And now there's no one else to love
Except my friends
Laying 'cross the river

See my friends, see my friends
See my friends, see my friends
See my friends, see my friends
See my friends
