The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling Way down in the valley tonight Theres a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye And a blade shining oh so bright Theres evil in the air and theres thunder in the sky And a killers on the bloodshot streets And down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising Oh I swear I saw a young boy Down in the gutter He was starting to foam in the heat Oh baby youre the only thing in this whole world Thats pure and good and right And wherever you are and wherever you go Theres always gonna be some light But I gotta get out I gotta break it out now Before the final crack of dawn So we gotta make the most of our one night together When its over you know Well both be so alone
Like a bat out of hell Ill be gone when the morning comes When the night is over Like a bat out of hell Ill be gone gone gone Like a bat out of hell Ill be gone when the morning comes When the day is done And the sun goes down And the moonlights shining through Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven Ill come crawling on back to you
Im gonna hit the highway like a battering ram On a silver black phantom bike When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry And were all about to see the light Nothing ever grows in this rotten old hole And everything is stunted and lost And nothing really rocks And nothing really rolls And nothings ever worth the cost And I know that Im damned if I never get out And maybe Im damned if I do But with any other beat I got left in my heart You know Id rather be damned with you If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned Dancing through the night with you If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned If gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned Dancing through the night Dancing through the night Dancing through the night with you
Oh baby youre the only thing in this whole world Thats pure and good and right And wherever you are and wherever you go Theres always gonna be some light But I gotta get out I gotta break it out now Before the final crack of dawn So we gotta make the most of our one night together When its over you know Well both be so alone
Like a bat out of hell Ill be gone when the morning comes When the night is over Like a bat out of hell Ill be gone Like a bat out of hell Ill be gone when the morning comes But when the day is done And the sun goes down And the moonlights shining through Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven Ill come crawling on back to you Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven Ill come crawling on back to you
I can see myself Tearing up the road Faster than any other boy has ever gone And my skin is rough but my soul is ripe And no ones gonna stop me now I gotta make my escape But I cant stop thinking of you And I never see the sudden curve until its way too late I never see the sudden curve until its way too late
Then Im dying on the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell And the last thing I see is my heart Still beating Breaking out of my body And flying away Like a bat out of hell
Then Im dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell And the last thing I see is my heart Still beating Still beating Breaking out of my body and flying away Like a bat out of hell Like a bat out of hell Like a bat out of hell Like a bat out of hell Like a bat out of hell Like a bat out of hell
Every night I grab some money and I go down to the bar I got my buddies and a beer, I got a dream, I need a car You got me begging on my knees, cmon and throw the dog a bone A man he doesnt live by rock n roll and brew alone Baby baby, baby baby
Chorus:
Rock n roll and brew, rock n roll and brew They dont mean a thing when I compare em next to you Rock n roll and brew, rock n roll and brew I know that you and I oh we got better things to do
I dont know who you are or what you do, or where you go when youre not around I dont know anything about you baby, but youre everything Im dreaming of I dont know who you are, but youre a real dead ringer for love A real dead ringer for love
(girl:) ever since I can remember you been hanging round this joint You been trying to look away but now you finally got the point I dont have to know your name and I wont tell you what to do But a girl - she doesnt live by only rock n roll and brew
Baby baby, baby baby - chorus
You got the kind of legs that do more than walk
(girl:) I dont have to listen to your whimpering talk
(boy:) listen you got the kind of eyes that do more than see
(girl:) you got a lotta nerve to come on to me
(boy:) you got the kind of lips that do more than drink
(girl:) you got the kind of mind that does less than think
But since Im feeling kinda lonely and my defenses are low Why dont you give it a shot and get it ready to go Im looking for anonymous and fleeting satisfaction And I want to tell my daddy Ill be missing in action
Ever since I can remember Ive been hanging round this joint My daddy never noticed, now hell finally get the point
(boy:) you got me beggin on my knees, cmon and throw the dog a bone A man he doesnt live by rock n roll and brew alone
They say you never come home, boy you been drivin too fast When you gonna shape up, how long is this gonna last You may be laughin today, but listen to some good advice An take a look at tomorrow in a workin mans weary eyes You gotta pick a carreer, go for the gold Smile for the camera, do what youre told Well you can take away the ladder cos I aint gonna climb it If theres a stairway to heaven I swear Im gonna find it

Om er meteen goed in te vliegen, heb ik een lijst opgesteld met ALLE liedjes van Meat Loaf (= discografie), alle albums en een biografie geplaatst (die ik nog uit het Engels ga vertalen). Nadien ga ik alle lyrics plaatsen.
Biografie( ga ik nog vertalen)
Marvin Lee Aday was a singer and occasional actor who, for reasons never definitively answered, recorded under the name Meat Loaf. In all likelihood a childhood nickname, the tag stuck, and many puns followed as the performer -- who tipped the scales at well over 300 pounds -- became one of the biggest chart acts of the 1970s before enjoying a commercial renaissance two decades later.
Meat Loaf was born in Dallas, Texas. The product of a family of gospel singers, he moved to Los Angeles in 1967 and formed a group known as both Meat Loaf Soul and Popcorn Blizzard. The band earned some renown through opening gigs in support of the Who, the Stooges, and Ted Nugent before Meat Loaf won a role in a West Coast production of the musical Hair. During a tour stop in Detroit, he and a fellow castmate named Stoney teamed to record the 1971 LP Stoney & Meat Loaf for Motown's Rare Earth imprint.
After a tenure in the off-Broadway production Rainbow (In New York), Meat Loaf earned a slot in More Than You Deserve, a musical written by classically trained pianist Jim Steinman. An appearance in the cult film The Rocky Horror Picture Show followed, and in 1976 Meat Loaf also handled vocal duties on one side of Nugent's LP Free-for-All. Soon, Meat Loaf re-teamed with Steinman for a tour with the National Lampoon Road Show, after which Steinman began composing a musical update of the Peter Pan story titled Never Land.
Ultimately, much of what Steinman composed for Never Land became absorbed into 1977's Bat Out of Hell, the album which made Meat Loaf a star. Produced by Todd Rundgren, the record was pure melodrama, a teen rock opera which spawned three Top 40 singles -- "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad," "Paradise by the Dashboard Light," and "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth" -- on its way to becoming one of the best-selling albums of the decade.
A sequel was planned, but in 1981 Steinman issued his own solo debut, Bad for Good. After Meat Loaf released his own follow-up, Dead Ringer, rumors began flying, and it was reported that Loaf had been unable to record the songs which comprised the Steinman album due to physical and emotional problems. Eventually, Steinman filed suit against Meat Loaf and his label, Epic, and none of his songs appeared on the 1983 Meat Loaf effort Midnight at the Lost and Found. After subsequent records like 1984's Bad Attitude and 1986's Blind Before I Stop bombed, the singer declared bankruptcy and began physical and psychological rehabilitation to restore his road-ravaged voice.
After several years in relative obscurity, Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman reunited in 1993 for Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell, which continued the original's storyline and duplicated its thunderous sound. The follow-up proved almost as successful than the first Bat Out of Hell, selling over five million copies and yielding a massive hit single with "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)." Without Steinman, he returned in 1995 with Welcome to the Neighborhood. ..
