TAKES TIMEWords and music by Triumph
I've known girls all around the world
I've met every kind
You say you're something special to me
But honey never mind
Everytime you say you mean it
I whisper something, oh yeah, I can't repeat it
Everytime I'm sorry to say
Baby don'tcha understandCHORUS:
It takes time baby it takes time
To make time baby it takes time
It takes time to make time with meYou say that you wanna settle down
Yeah I guess we might
But we'll be on the road for 90 days
Yeah we leave tonight
All the time you been schemin'
To try to trick me, oh yeah, you must be dreamin'
Once again I'm sorry to say
Baby don'tcha understandCHORUS
BRINGING IT ON HOME
Words by Rik Emmett
Music by Rik Emmett and Mike LevineI see the light shining in your eyes
I feel my temperature start to rise
Sweet lady I've got a surprise
You feel my lovin' down deep insideDon't tease don't stand me up
I wanna drink from your lovin' cup
Ooh girl I'm singin' to you
You feel my message comin' on throughI'll bring it on home to you
I'm singin' my song for you
I'm singin' it for youAll alone when I came your way
You let me in won't you let me stay
It doesn't happen every day
Don't let it fade awayGot love and I got time
I got a way I'm gonna make you mine
Ooh girl I'm singin' to you
You gotta feel it just comin' on through
LITTLE TEXAS SHAKER
Words and music by Triumph
The boys were rock 'n' rollin' down in old San
Antone
About two thousand miles far away from their
home
A little brown eyed beauty was shakin' her thing
The band was hot ya know the mood was right
Gotta shake it up tonightCHORUS:
Got to shake it Little Texas Shaker
Got to shake your money maker
Got to shake it Little Texas Shaker
Ya, there were pretty ladies standin' all in a row
Waitin' for the boys right after the show
But she was like diamond among other girls
The band was hot ya know the mood was right
Gotta shake it up tonightCHORUS
Hey pretty baby forget all you fears
Rock to the music ringin' in my ears
Well I'm a see-saw lover and I think you know
If you don't want to make it then you got to go
Tonight we'll have a party yes I think we might
The band was hot ya know the mood was right
Gotta shake it up tonight
NEW YORK CITY STREETS - PART 1
Words and music by Gil Moore
Many days
Many days have come and gone
Since we all believed
The air was ours to breatheMany times
In the networks of our lives
We've been deceived
By those who lead
Can't you see
Can't you see
This can't go on forever
This can't go on
Down in New York
Down in New York
Down in New York townWhat's the cost if another truth is lost
Inside a scheme designed to sell a dream
A baby's cryin' and New York City's dyin'
But does God know I though he ran this show
Don't you know don't you know
This can't go on down in New York
NEW YORK CITY STREETS - PART 2
Words and music by Gil Moore
Steppin' out on Broadway
In a place they call Manhattan
Witness life and death itself
And watch as it happens
Here is New York town baby
You don't trust no one
Or you may soon be face to face
With someone's loaded gunCHORUS:
New York City streets
New York City streetsStandin' on a corner in this heavy New York City
Waits a lady dressed to kill she' tryin' to be pretty
Best believe she's hustlin' just to
Make her man a score
Keep him in the finest style that's
What a good girl's forCHORUS
Harlem star in their big black cars
New York City sidewalks
On a young girl's knee
New York City
Gotta get away,
Gotta get away from New York
New York CityCHORUS
THE CITY
Words and music by Rik Emmett
Part 1 - WAR MARCH
(Instrumental)Part 2 - EL DUENDE AGONIZANTE
(Instrumental)Part 3 - MINSTREL'S LAMENT
I have watched in wonder as
The colours turned to grey
I've seen the metal machines and
The factory dreams
I just got to get away
I have grown accustomed to
The drugs of power and steel
And the achin' in my head and the concrete bed
And the politician's velvet feel, ohI have learned to save my smile and
Use it like a knive
We've all learned to trust in profit and value
Profit over life
I have watched the skyline grow in
Defiance of the sun
We let it take us and we let it break us
Now the damage has been done, ohI have learned the language
Of the lost that walk the streets
And I'm the city's minstrel
Who knows all of her syncopated beats
I can recall when ambitions were small
And the music filled the air
But the minstrel's crying 'cause the music's dying
And the city's everywhere
It's everywhereNow there's no more singing
Just a ringing in my ears
And the city's story in all it's power
Is the greatest of my fearsLong gone once upon a time
I sang a song so sweet
But now I can't hear the melody
I just feel the driving beat, beneath my feet
Hear my crying
ROCKY MOUNTAIN WAY
Words and music by Joe Walsh, J. Vitale,
K. Passarelli, and R. GraceSpent the last year
Rocky mountain way
We couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture
I think it's safe to say
A time to open fireCHORUS:
And we don't need the lady
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad
Rocky mountain way
Is better than the way we had
Yeah, yeahWell, he's tellin' us this and he's tellin' us that
Changin' it everyday
And says it doesn't matter
The bases are loaded and Casey's at bat
Changin' it play by play
A time to change the batterCHORUS
CHORUS
ROCK AND ROLL MACHINE
Words and music by Gil Moore
Tonight's the night everybody's at the show
The girls and boys come to
Hear the rocket blow
You can't stop when the Rocket's playin'
Everybody jump and shout
Let's rock and reel it anyway you feel it
That's what this is all aboutCHORUS:
Rock and Roll Machine
Faster than you ever seen
Rock and Roll Machine
All those eyes just lookin' at youOoh baby you're crazy
If you try to steal the show
Get set, get ready time to watch the Rocket go
Rock and Roll Machine plays faster
East as ringin' a bell
A fireball steamer, heavy metal screamer
Playin' licks hotter than hellCHORUS
