Wired Up (Ace Frehley, 1985)
** Invariably know as "I'm So Wired", "Gotta Find A Party", this song is really "Wired Up", a cover of a Jeff Paris song...
[Chorus]
I'm so wired
Wired up
We gotta find a party
Fire's burinin'
Burnin' up
We gotta find a party tonight
[Verse]
Must be 12 O'clock
But I don't want to sleep
Can't you hear the music
And the stomping feet (yeah)
I look in to the closet
For my "danger" shoes
My temperature's rising
About to fall with you
[Chorus]
[Verse]
All week
I've been wearing out this sound
Breakin' out
'Cause I'm hungry for the night
My fantasy
My favorite took 'em to
Come along with me
We've got nothing left to lose
[Verse]
The girls in the corner
Are giving us the eye
From A to Z
We're gonna take a ride (yeah)
We're going nowhere
But in need of love
Gotta find some action
Gonna have a ball
[Chorus] X2
We gotta find a party
We gotta find a party tonight
[Solo]
Looking as wreckers?
Tonight as the battle's been here
We're gonna give it all away tonight...
[Chorus] X3
I Will Survive (Frehley's Comet, 1984)
** Another of the very earliest Frehley's Comet recordings. Written prior to June 1984 by Arthur Stead and Ace and
sometimes referred to as "I'll Stay Alive"....
[Verse]
Tired of the town I'm livin' in
And tired of the shaped my head's been in
The music sucks and the mood is sad
Every day I think I'm going mad
[Verse]
When people see me, they stop and stare
Doesn't sound like it's really fair
There's nothing to look at and nothing to see
This whole town is a buggin' me
[Chorus]
Point me in the right direction...
And I'll stay alive
I'll stay alive
If you think you need a ticket to nowhere...
I will survive
I will survive
[Verse]
Don't wanna cut my hair
Or wear clothes like my Dad
I'm sick of going to that stupid school
Where they tell me that I'm bad
[Verse]
I think it's time for a radical change
And it better come a fast
I know I really gotta get out of here
If I'm ever gonna last
[Chorus]
Point me in the right direction...
And I'll stay alive
I'll stay alive
If you think you need a ticket to nowhere...
I'm sure I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive
[Break]
I can take it
And we can make it
Another shot and I'll be alright
I can take it
And I can fake it
Or I can dish it out with all of my might
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus X3]
If you point me in the right direction...
And I'll stay alive
I'll stay alive
If you think you need a ticket to nowhere...
I'm sure I'll survive
I will survive
The Hurt Is On (Frehley's Comet, 1985)
** Yet another excellent early Frehley's Comet demo which begs the question why the debut album was so patchy...
[Verse]
We had a thing, with no strings attached
Seems like a dream come true
We were a party that never stopped
I've never met anyone like you
[Verse]
There's something happening when I felt a change
I got in over my head
I had to have her so I took a chance
And now the problem is plain
[Chorus]
The hurt is on
What am I gonna do
The hurt is on
I fell in love with you
The hurt is on
Look what a mess I've made
The hurt is on
My love scared you away
[Bridge]
Doesn't matter what I say or do
Too much too soon was too much for you
[Verse]
I can't forget the nights we used to have
Passion burning through our veins
Now I'm alone and I can hear you say, "Baby,
Fallin' in love only killed the flame
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Break]
No matter what I say
No matter what I do
It's just too much...
Just too much...
Too much for you...
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus X2]
The hurt is on
What am I gonna do
The hurt is on
I fell in love with you
The hurt is on
Look what a mess I've made
The hurt is on
My love scared you away
Scared you away
[Chorus]
The hurt is on
What am I gonna do
The hurt is on
So in love with you
The hurt is on
I'll never let you fall this time
The hurt is on...
I Got The Touch (Frehley's Comet, 1984)
** Another early Frehley's Comet compsition...
[Verse]
When she comes, she's a kind of fakin'
She'll play with your mind
All the boys find her fascinating
But she'll leave you behind
My friends think that she's a teaser
And they may be right
But I know, the only way to please her
I'm gonna do it tonight
[Chorus]
She knows (she knows) I got the touch
She knows where to come for love
She knows (she knows) I got the touch
She'll never get enough
[Verse]
When she walks, people can't believe her
Their heads turn around
Don't think that you can deceive her
She'll leave them astounded
All the boys ask me what's my secret
But I always deny
I know, the only way to please her
And keep her satisfied
[Chorus X2]
[Guitar Solo]
Ya know
[Chorus X3]
She knows (she knows) I got the touch
She knows where to come for love
She knows (she says) I've got the touch
She'll never get enough
I'm An Animal (Frehley's Comet, 1984)
** Another early Frehley's Comet composition...
[Verse]
I don't need nobody,
Out here in the wild
There's no need for money,
I take what I find (yeah)
Don't ya tease me honey,
I don't wanna play...
'Cause I eat you honey,
And I don't care if you beg
[Chorus]
I'm an animal, looking for a kill
I'm an animal, out of my cage
I'm an animal, call me what you will
I'm an animal, lock me away...
[Verse]
Can you see me comin',
Until it's too late
There's no use in runnin',
I'll never ever hesitate (no)...
I won't eat no dinner,
That's bought in the store
So get ready, honey
I'm gonna eat you up raw
I'm not human,
I'm a beast that can last all night (oh...)
It's a challenge
Anybody lookin' for a fight...
[Chorus X2]
[Guitar Solo]
I'm not human,
I'm a beast that can last all night (oh...)
It's a challenge
Anybody lookin' for a fight...
[Chorus X2]
I'm an animal, an animal, an animal, an animal, an animal
Lock me away...
Back On The Streets (Frehley's Comet, 1984)
** An early Frehley's Comet cover of a Vinnie Vincent song...
[Verse]
Someone has taken your love, it's true, isn't it?
It's not just talk that I hear
And when I see him build his world around you
I know the end is near
You tell me that I'm wrong
And it's all in my mind
But you won't come along
And it just makes my blood run wild
And I'm dying...
[Chorus]
So I'm back
I'm back on the streets
Girl, I'm back to find somebody new
Yes I'm back
I'm back on the street
Yes, I'm back and it's over for you
[Verse]
I've lost your love girl and all that I live for
I see it in your eyes
And when I see you walking out that door, girl
Another part of me dies...
It's time to move on
And I know it for sure
And the feeling is gone
And I won't be comin' home no more
And I'm not going to fall
[Chorus]
Yes, I'm back
I'm Back on the streets
Girl, I'm back to find somebody new
Yes, I'm back
Back on the streets
Yes, I'm back and it's over for you

Yes I'm back
I'm back on the street

Oh, I'm back
Look out!
Oh, I'm back on the streets

[Verse]
Someone has taken your love, its true isn't it?
It's not just talk that I hear
And when I see him build his wall around you

Baby-O (Warrior, 1982)
** Warrior demo version...
[Verse]
You're a double-barrel cardiac arrest
She-Demon, I see right through your dress
You make my love like rollin' dice
I'm tired of your airtight alibies
Your lips caress the velvet lies
And heart break me down to size
[Chorus]
Baby-O, Baby-O, I
Baby-O, Baby-O, I
[Verse]
You could be nice, but there's blackmail in your eyes
Someone collides, we're over over-drive
You took my love that's riding in your bed
You never gave me love, you're an aftermath
You travelled all your midnight tracks
You thought of some angle I can't
[Chorus]
Baby-O, Baby-O, I
Baby-O, Baby-O, I
Baby-O, Baby-O, I
When you never look inside of you
And tell me what you see
[Guitar Solo]
Your lips caress the velvet lies
And heart-break me down to size
You travelled all your midnight tracks
You're a daughter from the angel of death
Baby-O, Baby-O, I
Baby-O, Baby-O, I
Baby-O, Baby-O, I
Baby-O, Baby-O, I
When you never look inside of you
And tell me what you see
Baby-O, Baby-O, I
Baby-O, Baby-O, I
Baby-O, Baby-O, I
Baby-O, Baby-O, I
Gypsy In Her Eyes (Vinnie Vincent, 1981)
** Vinnie vocal demo version...
[Verse]
There's a light that shines in New York City
I swear it feels like years since you were here
Oh, and if you're not back when it burns out it's a pity
You're tellin' me, but I don't wanna hear
[Chorus]
Love knows she's been denying
A restless heart that's hiding
I saw the gypsy in your eyes
[Verse]
You were young and love was everlasting
Do you know other ways our dreams can come at all
Oh, but now the tears are melting on the back streets
Oh, but freedom called your name and you were gone
[Chorus X2]
[Verse]
She's going back to a simple place she knows
With a mountain view and people that know her name
Oh, but she'll be free and I know that I'll be broken
Oh, she's leaving one last ember in the rain
[Chorus X2]
I saw the gypsy in your eyes...
Young Blood, Young Fire (Vinnie Vincent, 1987/8)
** Jeff Scott Soto vocal version...
[Verse]
I paid my penance, I've done my time
I'll never look back at all
Through tears of shame, my soul remains
Against the combat wall
We were one, you were my love
We kept each other warm
Friend, my cover, shelter from the storm
Run away, two restless hearts
Our dreams we will defend
All for one and faithful
[Chorus]
Young blood (young blood), young fire
Young warriors will never die
Young blood (young blood), young fire
The world is out it's burning in your eyes
In our eyes
[Verse]
The times have change, they'd ring the bell
And weary hearts grow cold
Fallen angels, we've become as one soul to soul
The wind is coming down to me
Just like I've heard before
Tellin' me the way will soon be gone
Precious one, our day will come
When we find where we belong
Right beside each other, standing strong
[Chorus]
Young blood (young blood), young fire
Young warriors will never die
Young blood (young blood), young fire
The world is out it's burning in your eyes
In your eyes
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, young blood (young blood), young fire
Young warriors will never die
Young blood (young blood), young fire
The world is out it's burning in your eyes
Young blood (young blood), young fire
Young warriors will never ever die
Young blood (young blood), young fire
Young blood (young blood), oooh
Young blood (young blood), young fire
Young blood, young warriors
Young blood, young warriors
Young blood, young warriors
Forbidden (Vinnie Vincent, 1987/8)
** Jeff Scott Soto vocal version...
[Verse]
Someday, we'll talk it over once again
When the hurt has said its last goodbye
Then we'll see our love through different eyes
I had you once, why can't I have you once again
Can't you understand the way I feel
To have you I won't beg, borrow, or steal, my love
[Chorus]
Tell me why, why must our love be forbidden
Tell me why, tell me why must our love be forbidden
[Verse]
Here we are, somewhere between love and hate
It's strangest that our love has long betrayed
Feelings that have gone their separate ways
Call your name, darling just to ease my pain
But the coldness never fades away
When love is just an echo in the wind, my love
[Chorus]
Tell me why, why must our love be forbidden
Tell me why, tell me why must our love be forbidden, oh no
Tell me why, why must our love be forbidden
Tell me why, tell me why must our love be forbidden, my love
Now if you only knew
The Hell I've been going through
There's no love inside your eyes for me
I'm just getting over... losing you...
Tell me why, why must our love be forbidden
Tell me why, tell me why must our love be forbidden, my love
Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, why must our love be forbidden...
Invincible (Vinnie Vincent, 1989/90)
** Guitars From Hell version...
[Verse]
Frozen twilight leads my way down my darkest road
Angel of mercy, you I beg, won't you run away first though
Bitches, my sonic world, useless and glowing endure
Inside, feel the pain I've caused, now let the story be told
Father, let thy will be done
While our world is in Hell
You've taken away my will
I will make my stand
I will make my stand
[Chorus]
I shall be invincible
Power of love in my veins
I shall be invincible
Rescue my destiny and stand
[Verse]
As though my heavy heart beats strong, love will free my soul
Shackles of hate some day will be gone, and the truth I'll fight to be known
Outrage, my apology, has turned my heart to the stone
My teary eye has seen his face one, bearing the weight for so long
From ashes, I will rise again
Though you'll want to know
In this world I sign my name
Mine and their treck be known
Let it be written, let it be known
[Chorus]
I shall be invincible
Power of love in my veins
I shall be invincible
Mighty and strong I will stand
[1:57 Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I shall be invincible
Power of love in my veins
I shall be invincible
Mighty and strong I will stay
I shall be invincible
Is this my destiny's plan
I shall be invincible
Power of love in my veins
Mighty and strong I will stay
Invincible (power and love in my veins)
Inside will be invincible
Power of love in my veins
Shocker (Vinnie Vincent, 1989/90)

Pain, Miss Adultress, wicked as wicked goes
Lonely man, you reep what you sew
Give it to me good, dancing on my soul

True hope and I love it too
Shocker
Shock those bones

Switch that current through my bones
Shocker
True hope and I love it too
Shocker
Shock those bones

Stop pulling my chain, I'm outta face
Shocker

It was a candy, ain't it a shame
Misfit, we're an instant big hurricane
Then you proceed, you're soul got to see
I got your number, but I never got your name
[Chorus]

Switch that current through my bones
Shocker
True hope and I love it too
Shocker
Shock those bones
Shocker
