1. Trouble

[Rhoads, DuBrow]
[Originally from: Quiet Riot II (Japan Only)]

I got a letter in the mail sayin' that I'm gonna go to jail
Someone's got an axe, lookin' out for me
I was feelin' pretty nice didn't have to think twice
Finders keepers, baby, keep it away from me

You're gettin' me in trouble
Gettin' me in trouble
Gettin' me in trouble
Every day and night
I'm all right

Well I'm a high speed king I never think about a thing
Now all I can do is moan, Oh no
Everybody takes their turn from the trash I have learned

You're getting' me in trouble
Gettin' me in trouble
Gettin' me in trouble
Every day and night
I'm all right

You try to put the weight of the world on top of my shoulders
You got to know that you're a little girl who wants to feel older, feel older
Trouble, trouble, I'm in trouble baby
You're gettin' me in trouble

Gettin' me in trouble
Gettin' me in trouble
Every day and night

Nothin' I can say and nothin' I can do
Will get me off the road that leads to you

I'm in trouble, trouble, trouble
I'm in trouble, trouble, trouble
I'm in trouble, trouble, trouble


2. Laughing Gas

[Rhoads, DuBrow]
[Previously unreleased]

Stay alive, just laugh the time away
You'll survive, do what you do your way

Burn the fire like a flame and knock 'em out in a hot flash
They'll all think that you're insane, it's just a laughing gas

Bombs away, they won't do you no harm
Help me babe, I have ..... of your charm


3. Afterglow (Of Your Love)

[Steve Marriott of Humble Pies/Small Faces cover]
[Previously unreleased acoustic version]
[Original version is on Quiet Riot II (Japan Only)]

Love is all around me everywhere
Love has come to touch my soul
With someone who really cares
No one can deny us
People who once passed me by
Will turn their heads 'round

I'm happy just to be with you,
And lovin' you the way I do
'Cause everything I need to know,
Just resting in the afterglow of your love

You, as you have always been here
A feeling deep inside
A feeling that I could not see or touch
Or try to hide

My love is in and around you
I bless the day that I found you
So listen baby

I'm happy just to be with you,
And lovin' you the way I do
'Cause everything I need to know,
Just resting in the afterglow of your love

Love is like a voice in my head
Keeps turning around the things we've said

I'm happy just to be with you,
And lovin' you the way I do
'Cause everything I need to know,
Just resting in the afterglow of your love


4. Killer Girls

[Rhoads, DuBrow, Sobol]
[Originally on: Quiet Riot II (Japan Only)]

The chicks in the town been runnin' around
On the loose
Legs they'll spread for free or for bread
On the loose
Can't get enough to satisfy their lust
On the loose

Killer girls waitin' in line for me
Blood thirsty, get home in time for tea
Killer girls for all you boys to see
Easy action, get what you want for free

Never ease up, got a stick shift disease
Turn me loose
Hypnotized when they give me the eye
Turn me loose
In their disguise I see murder and lies
Turn me loose

Killer girls waitin' in line for me
Blood thirsty, get home in time for tea
Killer girls for all you boys to see
Easy action, get what you want for free

Killer girls in a frenzy on me
No more juice
Take my advice, you'd better think twice
No more juice
They'll hump and bump you, forget your name
No more juice

Killer girls waitin' in line for me
Blood thirsty, get home in time for tea
Killer girls for all you boys to see
Easy action, get what you want for free


5. Picking Up The Pieces

[Rhoads, DuBrow ]
[Previously unreleased]

Take cover, young lovers,
fall apart at the seams
It's stainless steel, that's how I feel,
you're the girl of my dreams

Well I tried to call you on the phone,
your dad said that you weren't at home

But we are, picking up the pieces of our lovin'
over and over again
Picking up the pieces let's do it again
We're picking up the pieces,
picking up the pieces of our love

Well, I need your lovin'
to show me what I am
And I want your body
to make me feel like a man

You know that I'm down on my knees,
you know it's you that I want to please, please

Picking up the pieces of our lovin'
over and over again
Picking up the pieces let's do it again
We're picking up the pieces,
picking up the pieces of our love


6. Last Call For Rock And Roll



7. Breaking Up Is A Heartache



8. Force Of Habit

[Rhoads, DuBrow]
[Previously unreleased]

Too much coffee's gonna shatter my nerves,
too much whiskey's gonna stutter my words
A whole lotta speed gonna take me to fast,
how much longer can I last

Too many women gonna put me to waste,
too much money gonna spoil my taste
Doctor says to slow down if you wanna stay alive,
how am I gonna survive - I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, oh yea
Been working to hard don't got no time to rest,
don't look to well I ain't feeling my best
Can't push much harder before I fall on the ground,
I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown

I've gotta slow down,
get my feet on the ground, yeah
I better slow down fast,
today could be my last, all right


9. It's Not So Funny Anymore

[Rhoads, DuBrow]
[Originally from: Quiet Riot (Japan Only)]

Walking 'round the town with nothing to do
Rock-n-roll ringin' in my ears
Work just 'til nine I'm singin' the blues
Got to find a way out of here

It's not so funny
Just a kid, nobody listens to me
Ain't got the money to do what I want
Something's got to set me free

You say when you grow up you'll have what you want
And everything that you need
What is the use of having it all
If you listen and never be seen

It's not so funny
Just a kid, nobody listens to me
Ain't got the money to do what I want
Somethin's got to set me free

If I could suddenly be older
I'd show them all and bring them down to my size

My parents tell me you're not the only one
There's a lot of kids around like you
If all of us kids got together for fun
We'd show you a thing or two
No no no

It's not so funny
Just a kid, nobody listens to me
Ain't got the money to do what I want
Somethin's got to set me free
It's not so funny
I ain't got no money
It's not so funny
I ain't got no money
It's not so funny
I ain't got no money...


10. Look In Any Window

[Rhoads]
[Originally from: Quiet Riot (Japan Only)]

You'd better beware
He'll catch you when you're unaware
Look out, he's gonna stare
Catch him, he won't care

Look in any window
Hold yourself back
He's gonna look in any window
It's a visual attack

He's spying he's thinkin'
He's craving for sin
Open up your window
Go on and let him in

Look in any window
Hold yourself back
He's gonna look in any window
It's a visual attack, that's what it is

What a desire
His mind is on fire
He sweats and he pants
The love he can't have

Look in any window
Hold yourself back
He's gonna look in any window
It's a visual attack
