Recorded in PUK Recording Studios a/s, Denmark, February/March 1996.



I must say that it took me some time to get used to this album. Don't get me wrong, I loved most of it from the begining but it's a strange sensation to hear old favorites in new versions. The production is very weird though. You can hear every instrument perfect but the mix is sometimes, in my humble opinion, not that good. The balance between the instruments cold have been a lot better but it's still not a major problem once you get used to it. I must admit that I don't really understand why BTO chosed to re-record old songs instead of making a brand new album. The ten classic songs are of course very good and I guess that none of us expected anything less. So it's just natural that the biggest interest concerns the five new songs. Well, actually it's just two new songs as the other three are covers written by other composers. Personally I don't see the point for BTO to record other songs then their own as they are excellent songwriters in their own right. This also means that the three covers was a major disappointment for me but that the two new compositions from the band was definitely not a let down. Especially the heavy Nothing Comes Easy exited me as it's a real BTO classic that I hope will set the direction for coming BTO albums.

HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

[acoustic guitar]

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one


ROLL ON DOWN THE HIGHWAY

We rented a truck and a semi to go
Travel down the long and winding road
Look on the map I think we've been here before,
Close the doors let's roll once more.

Cop on the corner, look he's startin' to write
I don't need no ticket so I screamed out of sight,
Drove so fast that my eyes can't see,
Look in the mirror is he still followin' me?

Let it roll down the highway
Let it roll down the highway,
Roll, roll.

Look at the sign, we're in the wrong place
Come on boys, let's get ready to race
454 coming over the hill
The man on patrol, is going to give us a bill.

The time's real short, you know the distance is long
I'd rather have a jet but it's not in the song
Climb back in the cab, cross your fingers for luck
We gotta keep movie' if we're going to make a buck.

Let it roll down the highway, . . .

HOLD BACK THE WATER

Headed 'cross the border
Looking for a place to play
I left the sun behind
I don't mind
But I think that it looked like rain

Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn

Headed west to Georgia
Looking for the road to L.A.
They say the weather's fine
But the sun don't shine
'Cause the smog's always in the way

Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
Hold back the water (Yo!)
I gotta find time to burn

I've never played no smoker
You know I've never played no hotdog
The preacher say
I was born this way
With storm cloud in my heart

Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn (Whooo)

Headed 'cross the border
Looking for a place to play
I left the sun behind
I don't mind
But I think that it looked like rain

Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn

Hold back the water (Yo!)
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn

Hold back the water (Hey!)
I gotta find time to burn


GIMME YOUR MONEY PLEASE

I was walking on down the alley
When a face I've never seen
Came so from deep in the darkness
And his mouth came on real mean

And I saw that he'd been liquored
And he staggered up to -- you know -- he staggered up to his feet
And he said, "Boy, you'd better move real slow
And gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."

Wasn't that strange
Wasn't that strange indeed
Wasn't that strange
Wasn't that strange indeed
He said, "Gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."

Being born and raised in New York
There ain't nothing you won't see
'Cause the streets are filled with bad goings-on
And you know that's no place to be

But my car broke down in the evening
You know it just stopped stone cold
Stopped stone cold in the street
And a dirty mean man with a shot glass eye
He said, "Gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."

Wasn't that strange
Wasn't that strange indeed
Wasn't that strange
Wasn't that strange indeed
He said, "Gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."

Being born and raised in New York
There ain't nothing you won't see
'Cause the streets are filled with bad goings-on
And you know that's no place to be

But my car broke down in the evening
You know it just stopped stone cold
Stopped stone cold in the street
And a dirty mean man with a shotgun in his hand
He said, "Gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."

Wasn't that strange
Wasn't that strange indeed
Wasn't that strange
Wasn't that strange indeed
He said, "Gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."
(Awww!)


LET IT RIDE

Goodbye, I lied, don't cry, would you let it ride.
Goodbye, I lied, don't cry, would you let it ride.

You can't see the morning, but I can see the light (try, try, try to let it ride)
While you been out running, I've been waiting half the night - (try, try, try to let it ride)
And would you cry if I told you that I lied, or would you say goodbye or would you let it ride.
And would you cry if I told you that I lied, or would you say goodbye or would you let it ride.

See my life is not complete, I never see you smile (try, try, try to let it ride)
Baby you want the forgiving kind and that's just not my style. - (try, try, try to let it ride)
And would you cry if I told you that I lied, or would you say goodbye or would you let it ride.
And would you cry if I told you that I lied, or would you say goodbye or would you let it ride.

Solo

I've been doing things worthwhile and you've been booking time - (try, try, try to let it ride)
And would you cry if I told you that I lied, or would you say goodbye or would you let it ride.
And would you cry if I told you that I lied, or would you say goodbye or would you let it ride.
Would you let it ride, would you let it ride, would you let it ride, would you let it ride.

(try, try, try to let it ride) - (try, try, try to let it ride)
(try, try, try to let it ride) - (try, try, try to let it ride)
(try, try, try to let it ride) - (try, try, try to let it ride)
(try, try, try to let it ride) - (try, try, try to let it ride)
(try, try, try to let it ride)
Would you let it ride, would you let it ride, would you let it ride, would you let it ride.


YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET

I met a devil woman, she took my heart away
She said I had it comin' to me, but I wanted it that way
I think that any love is good lovin'
And so I took what I could get, mmm
Oooh, oooh, she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said

You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet

And now I'm feelin' better, 'cause I found out for sure
She took me to her doctor and he told me of a cure
He said that any love is good love
So I took what I could get, yes, I took what I could get
Oooh, and she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said

You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something, here's something that you're never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
You need educated

[break]

Any love is good love
So I took what I could get, yes, I took what I could get
And then, and then, and then she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said

You ain't seen nothin' yet
Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something, here's something, here's something, mama, you're never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nu-nu-nu-nothin' yet
You ain't been around

You ain't seen nothin' yet
I know I ain't seen nothin' yet
I know I ain't seen nothin' yet
Baby, Baby, Baby
You ain't seen nothin' yet


NOT FRAGILE

Comin' to you across country
Hoping boogies still allowed
You ask do we play heavy music
Well are thunderheads just another cloud, we do
Not Fragile, straight at you

Then we vanish to the night
Still in your ears but out of sight
Not Fragile

Don't think we feel hurt or wounded
Or our egos are showing thru
It's our world that's been disrupted
And our strength reflects from you
Well its true
Not Fragile, over you

Try us when you're getting down
Feelin' high or just hangin' round
Not Fragile

The times we travel in our lives
Will make us hard and give us drive
We may seem distant most of the time
But many thoughts are still on our minds
Not Fragile


HEY YOU

Hey you, you say you wanna change the world
It's alright, with me there's no regret
It's my turn, the circle game has brought me here
And I won't let down 'till every song is set

You realize now
You should have tried now, oooh
The music's gone now
You lost it somehow
Hey you, sha lalala
Hey you, sha lalala
Wooo, sha la la
Wooo, sha la la

Hey you, you say the race is much too fast
It's okay, with me I'm keeping pace
It's my game, the music is inside my head
For every one on top there's one who can't retrace

You realize now
You should have tried now, oooh ooh
The music's gone now, you'll find out
You lost it somehow
Hey you, sha lalala
Hey you, sha lalala
Wooo, sha la la la
Wooo, sha la la la

You realize now oooh
You could have died now, oooh
The music's gone now
You lost it somehow
Hey you, hey you, sha lalala
Hey you, sha lalala
Wooo, sha la la
Wooo, sha la la

Sha lalala, hey you, hey you, hey you
Sha lalala, ba-ba-ba-baby's stupid
Sha lalala, no time, no time left, no time
Sha lalala, don't let me down, don't let me down

(music and singing fades out)


TAKE IT LIKE A MAN

Only three stops to make in Alabama
Every one a one night stand
Workin' for a man down south Louisiana
Cause Z.Z. ain't his only band
Business ain't been good or bad
But sittin' here will drive me mad

I'm gonna get back where they want me
Get back where they want me
Get back where they want me
Make a stand
I'm gonna take it like a man

Met a stray woman, I think it was in Texas
She was made for those who'd pay
Got a little drunk and raised a mild ruckus
The city said I could not stay

1.(I) Guess I'm gonna have to change
until my life is rearranged

You know (Chorus)

Repeat 1

Chorus

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE

Why can't you do something right?
Your name is all over the town.
Your reputation is sweeping the nation.
The rumors are bringing me down.

You stand on the tip of my tongue,
I can't get you out of my head.
Theres no syncopation with any relation,
Could it be that there's trouble ahead?

Four wheel drive, four wheel ride, side by side, four wheel drive.


Why dont you try to slow down?
I'm standing at the back of the line.
We made reservations to meet at the station,
My schedule is running behind.

What can I do to survive?
Why am I always abused?
Anticipation of constant frustration;
Can it be that there's any good news?

Four wheel drive, four wheel ride, side by side, four wheel drive.

A SENSE OF DANGER
