The Bottom

I don’t give a damn if I can’t get a lick.
I’ll do it your way, but let’s make it quick.
No more please, I’m only a man.
Over and over, it’s all I can stand.
Here I go
Down below.
Here I go
To the bottom.
I look in your eyes, and you’re startin’ to stare.
You give me a kiss, but I just don’t care.
Dreaming while awake, and waking while I dream.
Everything’s a blur, I just wanna scream.
Here I go
Down below.
Here I go
To the bottom.
I know what I need to get some satisfaction.
Slippin’ and slidin’ I can’t get me no traction.
I’m fallin’ like a domino in a chain reaction.
I’ve got this hunger with nothin’ to eat.
(Oh yeah, just wanna eat.)
Give me a taste, give me somethin’ sweet.
(Oh please, give me somethin’ sweet.)
I’m lost in a world I can’t control.
I can’t stay here, but there’s somewhere to go.
(Down below, there’s somewhere to go.)
Here I go
Down below.
Here I go
To the bottom.
Here I go
Down below.
Here I go
To the bottom.
Here I go
Down below.
Here I go
To… to the bottom.

Will we sing and dance?
Have another chance?
Take a Sunday drive?
Now, maybe we’ll survive
Will the lights go on again?
Will we still be here
In another year?
Will the airplanes fly?
Will the oceans get too high?
Will the lights go on again?
Will the lights go on again?
Will the darkness never end?
Please, don’t tell me it’s the end
No! No! No! No!
Who’ll be in control?
Just the brave and bold.
It’s the world’s darkest hour,
And we are the power.
Will the lights go on again?
Will the lights go on again?
Will the lights go on again?
Will the lights go on again?
Will the lights go on again?
Will the lights go on again?

Yeah, I’m movin’ on
Singin’ a new song
Finally feelin’ strong
Lookin’ up ahead
Clearin’ out my head
Put the past to bed
If it wasn’t for the night
I would be all right
And I’d finally make it through
If it wasn’t for the night
I could see the light
And I’d be over you
If it wasn’t for the night
Start a brand new day
Now, I’m on my way
Ready now to play
Crashin’ through the door
Slidin’ ‘cross the floor
Better than before
If it wasn’t for the night
I would be all right
And I’d finally make it through
If it wasn’t for the night
I could see the light
And I’d be over you
If it wasn’t for the night
Another day it fades away
As the darkness kills the light
As I lay awake, I see your face
And I can’t escape the night
If it wasn’t for the night
If it wasn’t for the night
If it wasn’t for the night
If it wasn’t for the night
If it wasn’t for the night
If it wasn’t for the night
I would be all right
And I’d finally make it through
If it wasn’t for the night
I could see the light
And I’d be over you
If it wasn’t for the night
I would be all right
And I’d finally make it through
If it wasn’t for the night
I could see the light
And I’d be over you
If it wasn’t for the night
If it wasn’t for the night
If it wasn’t for the night
If it wasn’t for the night
If it wasn’t for the night
If it wasn’t for the night
If it wasn’t for the night
If it wasn’t for the night
If it wasn’t for the night

Still Around

I’ve seen ‘em come and go
I’ve seen it all and more
Up around the bend
Now, I’m back again
Yeah, I’m back in town
And I’m layin’ it down
I’m still around
I’m still around
I’m still around
I’m still around
Ain’t no kid, I ain’t no fool
Ain’t no punk tryin’ to prove I’m cool
There are lessons I have learned
Respect is something earned
I’ve got the sonic sound
And I’m playin’ it loud
I’m still around
I’m still around
I’m still around
I’m still around
I fought my way out of hell
Stories I can tell
I’ve been loved I’ve been despised
Yeah! I tell no lies
Yeah, I’m back in town
And I’m layin’ it down
I’m still around
I’m still around
I’ve got the sonic sound
And I’m playin’ it loud
I’m still around
I’m still around
I’m still around
I’m still around

The Hollywood Stars Los Angeles, California
Flashback to 1973. Two years before Kim Fowley would unveil his teenage Runaways to an unsuspecting world, the rock ‘n’ roll Svengali of the Sunset Strip was assembling the Hollywood Stars. Fowley conceptualized the group as a West Coast answer to the New York Dolls — having the energy and excitement of mid-60s pop and rock, with the crunchy guitars and attitude of hard rock. ... more
