  • JAILBREAK
    (Young - Young - Scott)

    There was a friend of mine on murder
    And the judge's gavel fell
    Jury found him guilty
    Gave him sixteen years in hell
    He said "I ain't spending my life here
    I ain't living alone
    Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang
    I'm breakin' out and headin' home"

    Gonna make a jailbreak
    And I'm lookin' towards the sky
    I'm gonna make a jailbreak
    Oh, how I wish that I could fly

    All in the name of liberty
    All in the name of liberty
    Got to be free

    Jailbreak, let me out of here
    Jailbreak, sixteen years ah
    Jailbreak, had more than I can take
    Jailbreak, yeah

    He said he'd seen his lady being fooled with
    By another man
    She was down and he was up
    Had a gun in his hand
    Bullets started flying everywhere
    And people started to scream
    Big man lying on the ground
    With a hole in his body
    Where his life had been

    But it was all in the name of liberty
    All in the name of liberty
    I got to be free

    Jailbreak, jailbreak
    I got to break out
    Out of here

    Heartbeats, they were racin'
    Freedom, he was chasin'
    Spotlights, sirens, rifles firing
    But he made it out
    With a bullet in his back

    Jailbreak, jailbreak
    Jailbreak, jailbreak
    Jailbreak, jailbreak
    Jailbreak, jailbreak
    Jailbreak, jailbreak

    YOU AIN'T GOT A HOLD ON ME
    (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 the 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

    You ain't got a hold on me
    You ain't got a hold on me
    Why don't you let me be
    '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

    You ain't got a hold on me
    You ain't got a hold on me
    Why don't you let me be, no no
    You ain't got a hold on me
    Oh let me be

    You ain't got a hold on me
    You ain't got a hold on me
    Why don't you just let me be
    'Cause you ain't got a hold on me

    You ain't got a hold on me
    You ain't got a hold on me
    You ain't got a hold on me

    Hey you ain't got a hold on me
    Ain't got a hold on me
    Ain't got a hold on me
    Ain't got a hold on me
    Ain't got a hold on me

    SOUL STRIPPER
    (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

    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, yeah
    She took my heart
    She was a soul stripper, ooh
    And tore me apart

    She started moving nice and easy
    Slowly getting near to my spine
    Killing off each last little feeling
    Ooh everyone she could find
    And when she had me hollow and naked, yeah
    That's when she put me down
    Pulled out a knife and flashed it before me
    Stuck it in and turned it around

    Then she made me say things I didn't want to say, you know
    Then she made me play games I didn't want to play
    She was a soul stripper, yeah
    Ooh she took my heart
    Ooh was a soul stripper
    Tore me apart

    Soul stripper, soul stripper
    You're a soul stripper
    Soul stripper, soul stripper
    Soul stripper
    Took out my heart
    And tore it apart

    Aah you're a soul stripper
    Soul stripper, soul stripper
