The Scorpions

A little something about Scorpions
Known best for their 1984 anthem "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and the 1990 ballad "Wind of Change," the German rockers the Scorpions have sold 22 million records, making them one of the most successful rock bands to ever come out of Continental Europe. After releasing World Wide Live in 1985, the band took a long hiatus and remained uninvolved from the music industry for two years. Their tenth studio album, Savage Amusement, was finally released in 1988, and the hit ballad "Rhythm of Love" brought on another major success. In 1990, the album Crazy World was released and would eventually become the Scorpions' biggest-selling record to date, drawing on the strength of the hit ballad "Wind of Change." Not too surprisingly, Crazy World was the last successful Scorpions release in the U.S. By the time their Face The Heat album hit the shelves in 1993, many long-time fans had already lost interest in the band, due to the alternative explosion of the early '90s (we can blame Nirvana for that).

Lyrics shown below : "Still Loving You", "Rock you like a hurricane", "Wind of Change" (Note: "Wind of Change" is not technically an 80s song, it's from 1990. But it captures the spirit of the '80s music genre in general so it's here anyway

Rock you like a hurricane

It's early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking 
And pretty loud
My cat is purring 
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin
The bitch is hungry 
She needs to tell 
So give her inches 
And feed her well
More days to come
New places to go 
I've got to leave
It's time for a show

Here I am 
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

My body is burning
It starts to shout
Desire is coming
It breaks out loud
Lust is in cages
Till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it
With someone I choose
The night is calling 
I have to go 
The wolf is hungry 
He runs to show
He's lickin' his lips
He's ready to win 
On the hunt tonight 
For love at first sting

Here I am 
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am 
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am 
Rock you like a hurricane

It's early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking 
And pretty loud
My cat is purring 
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin
The night is calling 
I have to go 
The wolf is hungry 
He runs to show
He's lickin' his lips
He's ready to win 
On the hunt tonight 
For love at first sting

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane




Wind of Change 

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change

Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change

The wind of change
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change



No One Like You

Girl, it's been a long time that we've been apart
 Much too long for a man who needs love
 I miss you since I've been away
 Babe, it wasn't easy to leave you alone
 It's getting harder each time that I go
 If I had the choice, I would stay

 There's no one like you
 I can't wait for the nights with you
 I imagine the things we'll do
 I just wanna be loved by you

 No one like you
 I can't wait for the nights with you
 I imagine the things we'll do
 I just wanna be loved by you

 Girl, there are really no words strong enough
 To describe all my longing for love
 I don't want my feelings restrained
 Ooh, babe, I just need you like never before
 Just imagine you'd come through this door
 You'd take all my sorrow away

 There's no one like you
 I can't wait for the nights with you
 I imagine the things we'll do
 I just wanna be loved by you

 No one like you
 I can't wait for the nights with you
 I imagine the things we'll do
 I just wanna be loved by you

 No one like you
