3. LITTLE LOVER
High Voltage (Aus) (1974)
High Voltage (1976)
(Young, Young, Scott)
Saw you in the front row
Moving to the beat
(Just movin' and groovin')
Killed me when I saw
The wet patch on your seat
(Wasn't Coca Cola)
Oh baby
I hope you liked the show
When the band said good night
I had to say hello
CHORUS:
Little lover, I can't get you off my mind
Little lover, I've been trying hard to find
Someone like you
Oh baby
You sure looked sweet
(Cruisin')
A leg either side
Of my motorcycle seat
(Just oozin')
Could have been a nightmare
Could have been a dream
But on my way home, babe
I thought I heard you scream
CHORUS
You had my picture
On your bedroom wall
(Next to Gary Glitter)
I was standing on the stage
Playing rock 'n' roll
(I was a guitar picker)
Never had a record
Never had a hit
Oh baby
You didn't mind a bit
CHORUS
Baby I know you're a -
Little lover
4. STICK AROUND
High Voltage (Aus) (1974)
(Young, Young, Scott)
You've been smiling lately baby
You've been singing in the bath
You've been acting like a lady
Not a dirty photograph
Then tonight you came home early
Packed a bag or two
It's been worrying me honey
Just what you're gonna do
Stick around, yeah, stick around
Stick around, babe, stick around
Well you came on like a hurricane
About a month ago
Blowing like a stiff breeze
Always on the go
All the good times that we had
All stayed in the past
All the good lays that I get
Never seem to last
Stick around, yeah, stick around
Stick around, babe, stick around
(Come on baby, sit on this)
What have I been doing lately
To make you wanna go
I take you out dancing
Honey we can go out to a show
Spend a night romancing
Nights out on the town
Listen to me baby
You'll be glad you stopped around
Stick around, yeah, stick around
Stick around, babe, stick around
5. SOUL STRIPPER
High Voltage (Aus) (1974)
'74 Jailbreak (1984)
(Young, Young)
Well, I met her in the garden
Underneath that old apple tree
Sitting with a handful of flowers
Looking as cool as can be
We talked away a couple of hours
Then she laid her hand on my lap
Oh, I thought I got to be dreaming
I didn't know I fell in her trap
CHORUS:
Then she made me say things I didn't want to say
Then she made me play games I didn't want to play
She was a soul stripper, she took my heart
Soul stripper, and tore me apart
She started moving nice and easy
Slowly getting into my spine
Killing off this nice little feeling
Ooooh, everyone she could find
And when she had me hollow and naked
That's when she put me down
Pulled out a knife and flashed it before me
Stuck it in and turned it around
CHORUS
6. YOU AIN'T GOT A HOLD ON ME
High Voltage (Aus) (1974)
'74 Jailbreak (1984)
(Young, Young, Scott)
You can roll me round your finger
You can roll me if I'm blind
You can roll me tally ho ho
I'm easy rollin' kind
But don't think I'm facin' down hill
'Cause soon you'll see
You'll lose your grip and slip
'Cause you ain't got a hold on me
CHORUS:
You ain't got a hold on me
You ain't got a hold on me
Why don't you let me free
'Cause you ain't got a hold on me
You can take me to your bedroom
You can take me to your heart
You can take me to a climax
I won't fall apart
But don't count on me givin' it
All back to you
Just because I'm hooked on livin
Doesn't mean I'm hooked on you
CHORUS
7. LOVE SONG
High Voltage (Aus) (1974)
(Young, Young, Scott)
I can tell by the look in your eye
I can tell by the way you sigh
That you know I've been thinking of you
And you know what I want to do
Oh Jean
When you smile I see stars in the sky
When you smile I see sunrise
And I know you've been thinking of me
And I know how you want it to be
Oh Jean
I can tell by the things you say
I can tell that you know the way
And I know what you want me to do
Oh, I've got hearts and flowers for you
If you leave me you'll make me cry
When I think of you saying good bye
Oh the sky turns to a deeper blue
That's - that's how I'd feel if I lost you
Oh Jean
8. SHOW BUSINESS
High Voltage (Aus) (1974)
'74 Jailbreak (1984)
(Young, Young, Scott)
You learn to sing
You learn to play
Why don't the businessman
Ever learn to pay
CHORUS:
That's show business
Show bizness
Show bizness
That's the way it goes
You play in halls
You play in bars
You're climbin' walls
Chasin' stars
CHORUS
You pay the men
You pay your dues
When it's all gone
You sing the blues
CHORUS
You wanna roll
You wanna rock
But you find it hard
If your guitar's in hock
CHORUS
We smoke our butts
They smoke cigars
We drown in debt
They drown in bars
CHORUS
You pull a chick
Take her home
No use, man
You're worn out to the bone
CHORUS

TNT (Aus) (1975)
High Voltage (1976)
SINGLE: It's A Long Way To The Top/Can I Sit Next To You Girl
(Young, Young, Scott)
Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the by-ways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
Hotel, motel
Make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playin' in a band
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
10. ROCK 'N' ROLL SINGER
TNT (Aus) (1975)
High Voltage (1976)
(Young, Young, Scott)
My Daddy was workin' nine to five
When my Momma was havin' me
By the time I was half alive
They knew what I was gonna be
I left school and grew my hair
They didn't understand
They wanted me to be respected as
A doctor or a lawyer man
(But I had other plans)
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Well I worked real hard and bought myself
A rock 'n' roll guitar
I gotta be on top some day
I wanna be a star
I can see my name in lights
And I can see the queue
I got the devil in my blood
Tellin' me what to do
(And I'm all ears)
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
(I hear it pays well)
Well you can stick your nine to five livin'
And your collar and your tie
And stick your moral standards
'Cause it's all a dirty lie
You can stick your golden handshake
And you can stick your silly rules
And all the other shit
That they teach to kids in school
('Cause I ain't no fool)
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
11. THE JACK
TNT (Aus) (1975)
High Voltage (1976)
SINGLE: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap/Big Balls-The Jack
Live version with different lyrics (first verse of Cleveland live):
If You Want Blood - You've Got It (1978)
LIVE (1992)
(Young, Young, Scott)
She gave me the Queen
She gave me the King
She was wheelin' and dealin'
Just doin' her thing
She was holdin' a pair
But I had to try
Her Deuce was wild
But my Ace was high
But how was I to know
That she'd been dealt with before
Said she'd never had a Full House
But I should have known
From the tattoo on her left leg
And the garter on her right
She'd have the card to bring me down
If she played it right
She's got the Jack
Poker face was her name
Poker face was her nature
Poker straight was her game
If she knew she could get you
She play'd 'em fast
And she play'd 'em hard
She could close her eyes
And feel every card
But how was I to know
That she'd been shuffled before
Said she'd never had a Royal Flush
But I should have known
That all the cards were comin'
From the bottom of the pack
And if I'd known what she was dealin' out
I'd have dealt it back
She's got the Jack

Or hotter than a rollin' dice
Send you to heaven
Take you to hell
I ain't foolin'
Can't you tell
I'm a live wire
Gonna set this town on fire
Well if you need some lovin'
And if you need some man
You've got the phone and the number
And I got no future plans
Oh come on honey you got nothin' to lose
You got the thirst 'n I got the booze
Give you an inch
Take you a mile
I wanna make you smile
I'm a live wire
Holy smoke and sweet desire
Like a hot rod baby?
Oh stick this in your fuse box
Cooler than a body on ice
Hotter than a rollin' dice
Wilder than a drunken fight
You're gonna burn tonight
I'm a live wire
And I'm gonna set this town on fire

SINGLE: Let's Get It Up/TNT(live)-Back In Black(live) (1981)
(Young, Young & Scott)
See me ride out of the sunset
On your colour TV screen
Out for all that I can get
If you know what I mean
Women to the left of me
And women to the right
Ain't got no gun
Ain't got no knife
But don't you start no fight
CHORUS:
'Cause I'm T.N.T. I'm dynamite
T.N.T. and I'll win the fight
T.N.T. I'm a power load
T.N.T. watch me explode
I'm dirty, mean and mighty unclean
I'm a wanted man
Public enemy number one
Understand
So lock up your daughter
Lock up your wife
Lock up your back door
And run for your life
The man is back in town
Don't you mess me 'round
CHORUS

I met this girl for the first time on Saturday night
Standing in the queue at the Odeon alright
Oh I took her by surprise
When I gave her one of my lines
She started smiling at me real fine (ha ha)
That's when I said
Can I sit next to you, girl
At intermission we were doing alright
Until this guy came up and stood by her side
Oh I took him by surprise
When I gave him one of my lines
She started smiling at me real fine
And that's when I said
Can I sit next to you, girl

You wanna see me do my thing
All you gotta do is plug me into high

17. SCHOOL DAYS
TNT (Aus) (1975)
(Chuck Berry)
Up in the morning and out to school
The teacher is teaching the golden rule
American history and practical maths
Study 'em hard and hoping to pass
Working your fingers right down to the bone
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone
Ring ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunch room is ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom open your books
Gee but the teacher don't know how mean she looks
Hail hail rock 'n' roll
Soon as 3 o'clock rolls aroun'
You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books and get out of your seat
Down the hall and into the street
Up to the corner and 'round the bend
Right to the juke joint you go in
Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that's really hot
With the one you love you're makin' romance
All day long you've been wanting to dance
Feeling the music from head to toe
Round and round and round you go
Long live rock 'n' roll...
