Their debut album is said to hit stores by Sept. 19. According to Dave Stewart, he said that it was hard for all of them to be in one place because they all either lived in other parts of the world or were in other parts of the world for things. He also says it was the hardest album ever to make.

Fave Rock Songs

Head Games by Foreigner

Daylight, alright
I don't know, I don't know if it's real
Been a long night and something ain't right
You won't show, you won't show how you feel

No time ever seems right
To talk about the reasons why you and I fight
It's high time to draw the line
Put an end to this game before it's too late

Head games, it's you and me baby
Head games, and I can't take it anymore
Head games, I don't wanna play the...
Head games

I daydream for hours it seems
I keep thinkin' of you, yeah, thinkin' of you
These daydreams, what do they mean?
They keep haunting me, are they warning me?
Daylight turns into night
We try and find the answer but it's nowhere in sight
It's always the same and you know who's to blame
You know what I'm sayin', still we keep on playin'

Head games, that's all I get from you
Head games, and I can't take it anymore
Head games, don't wanna play the...
Head games

So near, so far away
We pass each other by 'cause we don't know what to say
It's so clear, I'm sorry to say
But if you wanna win you gotta learn how to play

Head games, always you and me, baby
Head games, 'till I can't take it anymore
Head games, instead of makin' love
Head games, ooh

Head games, always you and me, baby
Head games, 'till I can't take it anymore, no more
Head games, instead of makin' love, we play
Head games

Head games, in the first degree
Head games, yeah, always you and me
Head games, why do you do it baby?
Head games


Rock and a Hard Place by The Rolling Stones

The fields of Eden
Are full of trash
And if we beg and we borrow and steal
We'll never get it back
People are hungry
They crowd around
And the city gets bigger as the country comes begging to town

We're stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place

This talk of freedom
And human rights
Means bullying and private wars and chucking all the dust into our eyes
And peasant people
Poorer than dirt
Who are caught in the crossfire with nothing to lose but their shirts

Stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place

You'd better stop put on a kind face
Between a rock and a hard place

We're in the same boat
On the same sea
And we're sailing south
On the same breeze
building dream churches
With silver spires
And our rogue children
Are playing loaded dice

Give me truth now
Don't want no sham
I'd be hung drawn and quartered for a sheep just as well as a lamb

Stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
You'd better stop
Put on a kind face
Can't you see what you've done to me


Revolution by The Beatles

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We'd all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We'd all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be alright [x3]

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We'd all want to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're all doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you'll have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright [x4]

You say you'll change the constitution
Well you know
We'd all love to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know know it's gonna be alright [x3]
Alright [x7]

Dream On by Aerosmith

Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life's
in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes through
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On, AHHHHHHH

Sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away......


Waiting for a Girl Like You by Foreigner

So long, I've been looking too hard, I've waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find
I only know it's a matter of time
When you love someone... When you love someone...
It feels so right, so warm and true, I need to know if you feel it too
(Aaah-aaah) maybe I'm wrong
(Aaah-aaah) won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?
(Aaah-aaah) this heart of mine has been hurt before
(Aaah-aaah) this time I wanna be sure
I've been waiting, for a girl like you
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) to come into my life (life)

(New) To make me feel alive, ah-ah
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you (waiting for a girl) to come into my life
(Aaah-aaah... Aaah-aaah...)
You're so good, when we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word we say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone... Yeah, really love someone...
(Aaah-aaah) now I know it's right
(Aaah-aaah) from the moment I wake up till deep in the night
(Aaah-aaah) there's no where on earth that I'd rather be
(Aaah-aaah) than holding you, tenderly

I've been waiting, for a girl like you
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) To come into my life (life)
I've been waiting, for a girl like you
(Waiting for a girl) and a love that will survive
I've been waiting (I've been waiting) for someone new
(New) To make me feel alive, ah-ah
Yeah, waiting (waiting) for a girl like you
(Waiting for a girl) to come into my life

Oooh-oooh, oooh-oooh, I've been waiting
Aaah-aaah, (waiting for you) oooh-oooh, oooh
(Aaah-aaah) oooh-oooh, I've been waiting
(Waiting) I've been waiting, yeah
I've been waiting for a girl like you, I've been waiting
Won't you come into my life? (Life?) My life?
(It's been so long) I've been waiting for a girl like you
I've been waiting, (I've been waiting) oh-oh


Hey Jude by The Beatles

Hey Jude don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better

And any time you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Da da da da da
da da da da

Hey Jude don't let me down
You have found her now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

So let it out and let it in
Hey Jude begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you
Hey Jude you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder

Da da da da da
da da da da Yeah

Hey Jude don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it better
Better, better, better, better, better, Yeah,Yeah,Yeah

Rag Doll by Aerosmith

[Chorus:]
Rag Doll livin' in a movie
Hot tramp Daddy's little cutie
You're so fine they'll never see ya leavin' by the back door, mam
Hot time get it while it's easy

Try and tell me of an old dream
A new version of the old scene
Speak easy on the grape vine
Keep shufflin' in a shoe shine
Old tin lizzy do it till you're dizzy
Give it all ya got until you're put out of your misery

Urgent by Foreigner

You're not shy, you get around
You wanna fly, don't want your feet on the ground
You stay up, you won't come down
You wanna live, you wanna move to the sound
Got fire, in your veins, burnin' hot, but you don't feel the pain
Your desire, is insane, you can't stop, until you do it again
But sometimes I wonder as I look in your eyes
That maybe you're thinking of some other guy
But I know, yes I know, how to treat you right
That's why you call me in the middle of the night

You say it's urgent, so urgent, so-oh-oh urgent...
Just you wait and see, how urgent, my love can be, it's urgent...

You play tricks, on my mind, you're everywhere
But you're so hard to find, you're not warm, or sentimental
You're so extreme, you can be so temperamental
But I'm not looking for a love that will last
I know what I need and I need it fast
Yeah, there's one thing in common that we both share
That's a need for for each other anytime, anywhere

It gets so urgent, so urgent, you know it's, urgent
I wanna tell you it's the same for me, ooh-oooh, so-oh-oh urgent...
Just you wait and see, how urgent, our love can be, it's urgent...

You say it's urgent, make it fast, make it urgent
Do it quick, do it urgent, gotta rush, make it urgent...Want it quick
Urgent, urgent, emergency...Urgent, urgent, emergency...
Urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, emergency, so urgent, emergency
Emer-(ooh-oooh) emer-(ooh-oooh) emer-(ooh-oooh) It's urgent
So urgent...

You Got Me Rocking by The Rolling Stones

I was a butcher
Cutting up meat
My hands were bloody
I'm dying on my feet
I was a surgeon
Til I start to shake
I was a-falling
But you put on the breaks
Hey hey
You got me rocking now
Hey hey
You got me rocking now
Hey hey
You got me rocking now

I was a pitcher
Down in a slump
I was a fighter
Taken for a sucker punch
Feeling bad
Guess I lost my spring
I was the boxer
Who can't get in the ring

Hey hey
You got me rocking now
Hey hey
You got me rocking now
Hey hey
There ain't no stopping me
Hey hey
You got me rocking now
Hey hey
You got me rocking now
Hey hey
You got me rocking now

I was a hooker
Losing her looks
I was a writer
Can't write another book
I was all dried up
Dying to get wet
I was a tycoon
Drowning in debt

Hey hey
You got me rocking now
Hey hey
You got me rocking now
Hey hey
There ain't no stopping me
Hey hey
You got me rocking now
Hey hey
You got me rocking now
Hey hey
You got me rocking now

Walk This Way by Aerosmith

backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
till I talked to your daddy, he say
he said "you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a
muffin
then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways"
I met a cheerleader, was a real young guido
oh, the times I could reminisce
'cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and
her cousin
only started with a little kiss
like this!

seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
and your feet flyin' up in the air
singin' "hey diddle diddle"
with your kitty in the middle of the swing
like you just don't care
so I took a big chance at the high school dance
with a missy who was ready to play
wasn't me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
and I knowed love was here to stay
when she told me to

walk this way talk this way (4X)
just gimme a kiss
like this!

schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
there was three young ladies in the school gym locker
when I noticed they was lookin' at me
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
till the boys told me somethin' I missed
then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
so I gave her just a little kiss
like this!

[repeat second verse, substitute this at the end]
when she told me how to walk this way, she told me to

walk this way talk this way (4X) just gimme a kiss
like this!

Let It Be by the Beatles

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Ah let it be, yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Yeah let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah let it be
Oh there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah let it be
Oh there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Ah let it be, yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

David Bowie

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000309/bio
David Robert Jones was born on January 8, 1947 in Brixton, London, England. He is an English born musician, actor, music arranger, record producer best known for his somewhat freaky alter ego Ziggy Stardust in the 1970s, and the band with it, The Spiders.

Man he was cute in the 1960s!!!

People got their 1st taste of Bowie when in July 1969, his song Space Oddity, hit #1 on the UK charts. In 1972, he made a debut as the somewhat weird Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders, a band inspired by the glam rock era of the 1970s. In 1975, he made his 1st American crossover song, Fame, with John Lennon, and his album Young Americans hit #1 on the charts. As the years went on, he got more popular, especially in the 1990s and 2000s, with songs like Let's Dance, Modern Love, Under Pressure, China Girl.

His nicknames include Ziggy Stardust, and the Thin White Duke. In the 1960s, he changed his name from David Jones to David Bowie to avoid confusion with The Monkees lead singer Davy Jones.

Spouse
  • Angela Bowie: March 19, 1970-February 8, 1980, divorced, 1 child

  • Iman: June 6, 1992-present, 1 child

Trademark:
  • Constantly changing appearance

  • Wide ranging vocals

  • His one permanently dilated pupil gives him the appearance of 2 differently colored eyes.

Trivia
  • Both eyes are blue, but due to a fight long ago, one eye is dilated and appears darker

  • Has performed on several occasions with Mick Jagger, Queen, Iggy Pop, Al B Sure!, Tina Turner, Annie Lennox, Nine Inch Nails, Bing Crosby

  • Lied about his bisexuality to give more mystery to himself

  • In July 2004, underwent a triple bypass on his heart

  • Voted #12 on VH1's 100 Sexiest Artists. I really don't know how this one happened, or how Mick Jagger got #4 while Steven Tyler got #21

In the 1960s, he and a bunch of his friends formed a band called the Konrads, and their manager was a guy named Leslie Conn. He quit the band later and joined the Manish Boys, a blues-rock band. He said he dreamed of being like Mick Jagger, and what's funny is that later on, he would do a version of the song Dancing in the Street with Mick Jagger.
This is from the video he and Mick did, for the song Dancing in the Street.

In 1984, Bowie paired up with Mick Jagger and they both did a version of the Martha and the Vandellas hit Dancing in the Street. The video is on YouTube now. He has also gone in to acting. One of the movies he has been in is the movie The Prestige, with Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, where he played Nikola Tesla. Some of the other movies he was in include Basquiat, which is about Andy Warhol, who he plays, he was in the SpongeBob Squarepants movie Atlantis Squarepantis, he did the voice of the Lord Royal Higness, he played a fashion judge in Zoolander, with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, in Martin Scorcese's 1988 movie Last Temptation of Christ, he played Pontius Pilate, and in the movie Labyrinth, he plays Jareth, the king of the goblins.
Labyrinth
Strangely enough, he looks dead on Andy Warhol!
Zoolander
First time I saw this, I never knew who David Bowie was, I swear!!
Bowie as Nikola Tesla in the Prestige
