Greatest Kiss


Greatest Kiss
       Yet another compilation by Kiss.  It was to be released only overseas but fans demanded the album and they got it.  This was the forth compilation album (including Kiss My Ass) released in America in the last year.  The album did not sell well.  The fans wanted new material.  Again, no videos were made for that compilation.  The Australian release contains 21 tracks instead of 16.

Detroit Rock City
(Paul Stanley & Bob Ezrin)
 
I feel uptight on a Saturday night 
Nine o' clock, the radio's the only light 
I hear my song and it pulls me through 
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do 
I got to 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 

Getting late 
I just can't wait 
Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road 
First I drink, then I smoke 
Start up the car, and I try to make the midnight show 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 

Movin' fast, doin' 95 
Hit top speed but I'm still movin' much too slow 
I feel so good, I'm so alive 
I hear my song playin' on the radio 
It goes 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 

Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock 
There's a truck ahead, lights starin' at my eyes 
Oh my God, no time to turn 
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die 
Why 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get up 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Hard Luck Woman
(Paul Stanley)
 
If never I met you 
I'd never have seen you cry 
If not for our first "Hello" 
We'd never have to say goodbye 
If never I held you 
My feelin's would never show 
It's time I start walkin' 
But there's so much you'll never know 

I keep telling you hard luck woman 
You ain't a hard luck woman 

Rags, the sailor's only daughter 
A child of the water 
Too proud to be a queen 

Rags, I really love you 
I can't forget about you 
You'll be a hard luck woman 
Baby, till you find your man 

Before I go let me kiss you 
And wipe the tears from your eyes 
I don't wanna hurt you, girl 
You know I could never lie 

I keep telling you hard luck woman 
You ain't a hard luck woman 
You'll be a hard luck woman 
Baby, till you find your man 

Rags, the sailor's only daughter 
A child of the water 
Too proud to be a queen 

Rags, I really love you 
I can't forget about you 
You'll be a hard luck woman 
Baby, till you find your man 
You'll be a hard luck woman 
Baby, till you find your man 

Oh yeah, bye bye, so long, don't cry 
I'm just packin' my bags, whoo, leavin' you 
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, baby, don't cry 
I gotta keep on movin', yeah movin' 
Bye, bye my baby 
Ooh, don't cry, lady, oh

Sure Know Something
(Paul Stanley & Vini Poncia)
 
I've been up and down, I've been all around 
I was mystified, almost terrified 
But late at night I still hear you call my name 
I've been on my own, I've been all alone 
I was hypnotized, I felt paralyzed 
But late at night I still want you just the same 

I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool 
And I sure know something, sure know something 
You showed me things they never taught me in school 
And I sure know something, sure know something 
No one can make me feel the way that you do 
And I sure know something, aha 

I was seventeen, you were just a dream 
I was mesmerized, I felt scared inside 
You broke my heart and I still can feel the pain 

I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt 
I've been starry eyed, never satisfied 
'Cause late at night I still need you just the same 
Just the same 

I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool 
And I sure know something, sure know something 
You showed me things they never taught me in school 
And I sure know something, sure know something 
No one can make me feel the way that you do 
And I sure know something, aha 

I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt 
I've been starry eyed, never satisfied 
'Cause late at night I still need you just the same 
Just the same, yeah 

I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool 
And I sure know something, sure know something 
You showed me things they never taught me in school 
And I sure know something, sure know something 
No one can make me feel the way that you do 
And I sure know something, sure know something 
No one can tell me till I hear it from you 
And I sure know something, sure know something 
I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool 
Sure know something, sure know something 
You showed me things they never taught me in school 
Sure know something, sure know something 
No one can make me feel the way that you do

You like my seven inch leather heels 
And goin' to all of the shows, but 
Do you love me, do you love me

All of the fame and the masquerade 
You like the concerts and studios 
And all the money, honey, that I make, but

Your backstage pass and black sunglasses 
Make you look just like a queen 
Even the fans, they know your face 
From all of the magazines, but

Two Sides Of The Coin
(Ace Frehley)
 
I've met some ladies and then some girls 
But they don't tell you, they just want a whirl 
It's kind of funny, a little sad 
'Cause they're not happy, they're just kind of glad 
To be with me for just a night 
And maybe even turn out the lights, we'll turn out the lights 
I need time to ease my mind, make up my mind, which one to find 

Chorus: 
Two sides of the coin to choose from, two sides of the coin, they are mine 
Two sides of the coin, I'm gettin' weary 
Which one should I choose, I need time 

I'd like to say a word or two, about the women we all seem to know 
They're all around us, they're everywhere 
You meet them this place and then meet them there 
Then you deside to pick a mate 
Because you're tired of all those dates, of all those dates 

I need time to ease my mind, make up my mind, which one to find 

chorus - choose one!
