  • Who's taking time out, we'll take a shine out
    We're the boys we got nothing to lose
    I've had enough now of school and stuff now
    If you ain't with us then it's just bad news

    Only you can rock me rock me
    Come on back now do it again
    Only you can rock me, rock me
    Kicking out just like a hurricane

    We can't wait from day to day
    'Cause we've got something to say
    We can't wait from day to day
    'Cause we've got something to say

    Come on the street now on every corner
    Breaking out and we're doing what we want to
    Just like a jewel shines in the night
    She burns so hot out under the street light

    [Chorus:]

    We are here and there's no end
    We keep on coming again
    We are here and there's no end
    We just keep coming again

    Who's taking time out, we take a shine out
    We're the boys we got nothing to lose
    I've had enough now of school

    And stuff now
    If you ain't with us then it's just bad news

    Only you can rock me, rock me
    Come on back now, do it again
    Only you can rock me, rock me
    Kicking out just like a hurricane

    We can't wait from day to day
    'Cause we've got something to say
    We are here and there's no end
    We'll keep on coming again

    We can't wait from day to day
    'Cause we've got something to say
    We are here and there's no end
    We'll keep on coming again Writer/s: MICHAEL SCHENKER, PETER FREDRICK WAY, PHILLIP JOHN MOGG

  • Bleepyf from EdinburghIn a video interview, Paul Raymond confirmed that Pete had come up with the first riff and Schenker had added to that as Pete described in his book, from a prone position as he often did. Raymond said he then came up with the middle eight section, although he was never credited. Raymond has also admitted elsewhere that his famous keyboard line was heavily influenced - Raymond jokingly used the word "stolen" - from Rush with whom UFO had toured.
