Machine Head

Highway Star


Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
I'm gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power big fat tyres and everything

I love it and I need it
I bleed it yeah it's a wild hurricane
Alright hold tight I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my girl
I'm gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl
She stays close on everybend
Oooh she's a killing machine
She's got everything
Like a moving mouth body control and everything

I love her I need her
I seed her yeah she turns me on
Alright hold tight I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my head
I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head
Noaw that I'm on the road again
Oooh I'm in heaven again
I've got everything
Like a moving ground throttle control and everything

I love it and I need it
I seed it eight cylinders all mine
Alright hold tight I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
I'm gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh it's a killing machine
Ait's got everything
Like a driving power big fat tyres and everything

I love it and I need it
I bleed it yeah it's a wild hurricane
Alright hold tight I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star I'm a highway star



Maybe I'm A Leo


Peeping round my door I got a big surprise
Couldn't see a thing but open skies
They've taken her away where is she now

Wish that she was here wish she'd hold my hand
Maybe she would laugh maybe understand
Why was I so cruel where is she now

Acting like a fool had to make her cry
Maybe I'm a Leo but I ain't a lion
I'm hurting oh so bad I want her now



Pictures Of Home


Somebody's shouting
Up at a mountain
Only my own words return
Nobody's up there
It's a deception

I'm alone here
With emptiness eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And whispering pictures of home

Wondering blindly
How can they found me
Maybe they don't even know
My body is shaking
Anticipating
The call of the black hooded crow

I'm ...

Here in this prison
Of my own making
Year after day I have grown
Into a hero
But there's no worship
Where have they hidden my throne

I'm ..



Smoke On The Water


We all come out to Montreux on the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile we didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers were at the pest place around
But some stupid with the flure gun burned the place to the ground

Smoke on the water and fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

They burned down the danbling house it died with an awful sound
Funke and Cloud was running in and out pulling kids out the ground
When it all way over we had to find another place
It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water and fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

We ended up in the Grand Hotel, it way empty, cool and fare
But with the Rolling truck Stones things just outside waking our music here
With the few red lights and a few old beds we made a place to sweat
No matter what we got out of this I know, I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water and fire in the sky
Smoke on the water



Space Trucking


Well we had a lot of luck on Venus
We always have a ball on Mars
We're meeting all the groovy people
We've rocked the Milky way so far
We danced around the Borealice
We're space trucking round the stars

2 times :
Come on, come on, come on,
Let's go space trucking

Remember when you did the woonshot
And Ponny Treeper lid the way
We'd move to the Canaveral moonstop
And every night would dance and sway
We got music in our solar system
We're space trucking round the stars

2 times :
Come on, come on, come on,
Let's go space trucking

The fireball that we rooled was moving
And now we got the new machine
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the treaks said,
Man those cats can really sing"
They got music in their solar systems
They're rocked around the Milky way
They danced around the Borealice
They're space trucking every day

Many times :
Come on, come on, come on,
Let's go space trucking


Woman From Tokyo


Fly into the rising sun,
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart

My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me

Talk about her like a Queen
Dancing in a Eastern Dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
That carries me away

My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me

But I'm at home and I just don't belong ...

So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When we're alone in Her City of light

Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get high

My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me



Mary Long

Mary Long is a hypocrite
She does all the things that she tells us not to do
Selling filth from a corner shop
And knitting patterns to the high street queue
She paints roses, even makes them smell good
And then she draws titties on the khazy wall
Drowns kittens just to get a thrill
And writes sermons in the Sunday Chronicle

How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?

Mary told Johnny not to write such trash
Said it was a waste of public money
She made a fuss, they made apologies
But everybody thought the show was funny
When the nation knew you'd had children
It came as such a surprise
We really didn't know you'd had it in you
How you did it we can only surmise

How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?

Mary Long, you're not alone
But you're a long way behind our times
What we do in full frontal view
Is more honest than your clean-up mind
What I'm saying, Mary Long is
When you can spare a minute
Go find your friend the porny Lord
Dig your self a hole and jump in it

How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?
