"Ain't Got You" (3:02) <cover>
Rock n Roll (1979 - 1980)
"Prisoners" (5:11) Sloan/Libera
Set out - to see the world, the guys and I you know
We went for it all like the good old days
Hey they said we went to far
When some local cat, in some town in Iraq
Well they, they took us for a ride
Now I'm sweatin through the nights babe
screamin in the darkness
poundin at the stone walls, but these bars just remind us
that there is no getting out of here
And it's that cold stone that chills the bone
and God knows that we're all alone - well, so far from home
And I don't know who - and I don't know why
I don't know where, but we gotta get outta here
Gotta break out of here
Now I'm sweatin through the nights babe
screamin in the darkness
poundin at the stone walls but these bars just remind us
that there is no getting out of here -
there's no getting out of here

"Living Inside Your Love" (2:53) Sloan/Libera
What can you say about "Mr. Sloan". I was an "AM Baby" combined with an upbringing based on my dad's favorites; Sinatra, Andy Williams, Sergio Mendes, Soundtrack to "A Man and a Woman", etc..... If it were not for Mr. Sloan, I would not have discovered Jimmie and ROCK! It was through Randy's unbelievable talent that I too could actually listen and dig the MUSIC (you know, what the singer/lyricist would call - back up). There was "Spoon Fed", "EXP" and "Strut". We were not the original Glimmer Twins <no>, but we had a little shine about us. |
I showed up at the audition in my Texaco work shirt and no doubt smelled of a multitude of petroleum products. Soon I was singing Robin Trower (who's that?!), but "Too Rolling Stone" was kinda cool. I got the gig and we proceeded to practice in our exclusive studio, yet we never performed - Oh, that's where I met Randy (the Alpha musician). And when he bailed up to a place called Washington State, I was soon to follow. It was with $600 a one-way airline ticket, a Christmas present suitcase and high school partymate that I bid farewell to California. It was 1979 and I was 19 years old. |
"LOVERS" (4:49) Sloan/Libera
"Thank You" (3:23) <cover>
| "Shine" (1:59) Sloan/Libera |
The sun rose this morning and kissed the clouds goodbye
So why don't you try your smile, see you've had your cry yeah
All I want to do is shine - I'm doing it all the time
and so I'm hoping you don't mind - cuz I'm doing it all for you - doing it all for you -
And some times it's not so easy - no
Those shadows they drive me crazy
But don't let it get you down baby
Because I'll be around you
See all I want to do is shine - I'm doing it all the time
and so I'm hoping you don't mind - cuz I'm doing it all for you - doing it all for you -
Oh oh and shine - shine - shine - shine it baby.................... Baby won't you let it shine ....

Sweatin through the nights babe
screamin in the darkness
poundin at the stone walls, but these bars just remind us
that there is no getting out of here - there's no getting out of here
And it's that cold stone that chills the bone
and God knows that we're all alone - we're so far from home
And I don't know who - and I don't know why
I don't know where baby, but I gotta get outta here
Gotta break out of here - Gonna break outta here
I'm sweatin through the nights babe
screamin in the darkness
poundin at the stone walls, but these bars just remind us
that there is no getting out of here - There's no getting out of here
I'm Sweatin through the nights babe
screamin in the darkness
poundin at the stone walls but these bars just remind us
that there is no getting, no getting out of here - Break Out!

Rising steam surrounds the city man
He makes his way through this urban land
Yellow haze glows within its maze
as darkness takes another turn
Through his eyes she is set free
a prisoner of - this plastic crowd
Escaping from reality, they weave their fantasies
Lovers - Lovers
Desperate passions fill the air
Lovers - Lovers
Knowing of this fate they share
He makes his way through this urban land
Yellow haze glows within its maze
as darkness takes another turn
Through his eyes she is set free
a prisoner of - this plastic crowd
Escaping from reality, they weave their fantasies
Lovers - Lovers
Desperate passions fill the air
Lovers - Lovers
Knowing of this fate they share
Neon lights cage the dirty street
Ten floors high in the summer heat
Venetian blind stripes her negligee
it brings out the animal
They make their moves in this pleasure game
taking chance on its joy or pain
Letting go they shed the night
knowing they can always find
Lovers - Lovers
Desperate passions fill the air
Lovers - Lovers
Knowing of this fate they share
Ten floors high in the summer heat
Venetian blind stripes her negligee

They make their moves in this pleasure game
taking chance on its joy or pain
Letting go they shed the night
knowing they can always find
Lovers - Lovers
Desperate passions fill the air
Lovers - Lovers
Knowing of this fate they share
Souls together
Souls as one
Trade the shadows
for the sun
When it goes down -
they go down
Where love is lost -
love is found
Souls as one
Trade the shadows
for the sun
When it goes down -
they go down
Where love is lost -
love is found
