Night Ranger
A little something about Night Ranger
Night Ranger, one of the most successful touring and recording bands of the 1980s, left their indelible mark on that decade's charts with a string of five best-selling albums between 1982 and 1988 (Dawn Patrol, Midnight Madness, 7 Wishes, Big Life, and Man In Motion ) that went on to sell a total of more than 10 million copies worldwide. At the same time, their popularity was fueled by an impressive string of instantly recognizable hit singles and signature album tracks that are as much a part of 80s rocklore as Night Ranger itself, including "Sister Christian," "(You Can Still) Rock In America," "When You Close Your Eyes," "Sentimental Street," "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" and "Restless Kind," to name but a few.
After calling it a day in 1989, the five Bay Area veterans embarked on a dizzying series of group and solo endeavors that were faithfully followed by the Night Ranger legions. For example, Blades founded Damn Yankees with Ted Nugent and Tommy Shaw (ex-Styx) which led to the subsequent Shaw*Blades project. "Fitz"gerald became a regular in the ever-changing Van Halen tour lineups. Watson released a pair of star-studded solo albums, then formed the equally all-star band known as Mother's Army. Gillis also attracted some of rock's big names to his solo effort, Gilrock Ranch. Keagy, another busy session rat, eventually hooked up with Gillis to play their own music and Night Ranger hits on the road.
Sister Christian
Sister Christian, oh the time has come
And you know that you're the only one to say
Okay
Where you goin', what you looking for?
You know those boys don't want to play no more with you
It's true
You're motoring
What's your price for flight,
And finding Mister Right?
You'll be all right tonight
Babe, you know you're growing up so fast
And momma's worrying that you won't last to say
Let's play
Sister Christian, there's so much in life
Don't you give it up before your time is due
It's true
It's true (Yeah)
You're motoring
You've got him in your sights
And driving through the night
You're motoring
What's your price for flight,
And finding Mister Right?
You'll be all right tonight
You're motoring
What's your price for flight,
And finding Mister Right?
You'll be all right tonight
You're motoring
What's your price for flight,
And finding Mister Right?
You'll be all right...
Tonight
Sister Christian, oh the time has come
And you know that you're the only one to say
Okay
But you're motoring
Goodbye
As the sun hides his head
For another night's rest
And the wind sings
His same old song
And you on the edge
Never close, never far
Always there when I needed a friend
Yet it's hard living life
On this memory-go-round
Always up, always down
Spinning 'round and 'round and 'round
And all this could be
Just a dream so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye
There once was a time
Never far from my mind
On the beach, on the 4th of July
I remember the sand
How you held out your hand
And we touched for what seemed a lifetime
Now it's hard
Leaving all this behind me now
Like a schoolboy so lost
Never found until now
And all this could be
Just a dream so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye
Yet it's hard
Living life on this memory-go-round
Always up, always down
Turning 'round and 'round and 'round
And all this could be
Just a dream so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye
And all this could be
Just a dream so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye
Goodbye
Four in the morning
Four in the morning
Came without a warning
Everybody's got a place to be
I got holes in my conscience
Shot with a vengeance
I must have been a fool not to see
I need you bad
It's hard to live without your company
I need you bad
So bad I can't take it you see
Oh I
Can't take anymore
I can't fake anymore
It's such a hard time loving you
I can't take anymore
I can't fake anymore
It's such a hard time loving you
There was a time when I knew you
I held my body to you
Made you feel like you never felt before
And now it's all in the distance
Still you keep resisting
I love you like never before oh
I need you bad
It's hard to live without your tender touch
I need you bad
So bad I guess you're playing me touch
Oh I
Can't take anymore
I can't fake anymore
It's such a hard time loving you
I can't take anymore
I can't fake anymore
It's such a hard time loving you
I guess I was going in the wrong direction
I guess I was thrown for a while
I need to see you smile
I need you so yeah
I must have been going in the wrong direction
I guess I was thrown for a while
I need you bad
It's hard to live without your company
I need you bad
So bad I can't take it you see
I need you bad
It's hard to live without your tender touch
I need you bad
So bad I want to tell you so much
Oh I
Can't take anymore
I can't fake anymore
It's such a hard time loving you
I can't take anymore
I can't fake anymore
It's such a hard time loving you
(Repeat)
Don't Tell Me You Love Me
It ain't the way you move
It ain't the way that you move me
Oh no
It ain't the way you shake
It ain't the way that you shake me
Oh no
I've lived twenty-five years I'm a
kid on the run
I've got a pistol for action
CHORUS:
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me, I don't wanna know
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me, I don't wanna know
I love the way you use
I love the way that you use me
Oh yeah
I love the way you shoot
I love the way that you shoot to kill me
Oh yeah
It's taken miles and lines to learn the
Right from the wrong
I keep you hanging on
CHORUS:
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me, I don't wanna know
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me, I don't wanna to know
[Guitar solos]
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
(You love me, you love me)
Don't tell me you love me
(You love me, you love me)
Don't tell me you love me
(You love me, you love me)
Don't tell me you love me
(You love me, you love me)
love me love me love me yeah
CHORUS:
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me, I don't wanna to know
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me, I don't wanna to know
Secret of my success
Think of it, I, hold the world in the palm of my hand
Run a comb through my hair, head on out for some new
foreign land
And all this could seem like a dream out the door
With everyday people, face down on the floor
I always said I could make it and be who I am
There's a new look in sight, what a change for the
new modem man
With all this it seems, like I'm dying for more
The streets are on fire, never seen it before
It's like the sound of electric guitars
Worlds collide and hearts will be broken
Over and over it's the same every day-
How can I say what has never concerned me
The secret of my success is I'm living 25 hours a day
It's amazing to me, what a fool will believe to get by
With a change of your mind, I can live, I can fly
The harder they come, the harder they fall
I never say maybe and I go for it all
Just like the sound of electric guitars
Worlds collide and hearts will be broken
Over and over it's the same every day-
How can I say what has never concerned me
The secret of my success is I'm living 25 hours a day
With nothing to show, just sweat from my soul
My heart's on the line and I'm dying to go
Look at us now, gonna make it somehow
Hold on to me baby, can't hold me down
Worlds collide and hearts will be broken
Over and over it's the same every day-
How can I say what has never concerned me
The secret of my success is I'm living 25 hours a day
When you close your eyes
What do you do when it's falling apart
And you knew it was going from the very start
--Do you close your eyes...and dream about me?
A girl in love with a gleam in your eye
I was a younger boy....all dressed in white
We're older now....but do you still think about me?
I remember we learned about love in the back of a Chevrolet
It felt so good to be young......feels like yesterday.....
Chorus:
When you close your eyes.....Do you dream (dream) about me?
When you close your eyes.....Do you dream about me?
--Do you still dream about me?
I guess I don't know what I'm thinkin'
Comin' off a hard night of drinkin'
Angie come closer to me, I need a soul to bleed on.
Well it coulda been done in a different kind of way
But that ain't you, you play tough when you play
It's over now.....but do you still think about me?
I remember I held you so tight and we danced the night away
With the moves of two wide-eyed kids...I need you so much today....
Repeat Chorus
Solos
I remember we learned about love in the back of a Chevrolet
No good for an old memory to mean so much today
Repeat Chorus
