Return To Forever

1.	Going Out With A Bang	LYRICS If you say we're falling It's gonna be on our feet We're gonna take it to town We'll ride the dark side of the street If you think we're not fighting Like we used to do So are you ready for this You might learn a bit a trick or two ‘Cause all those years of rockin' hard Have taught us how to rise and how to fall And we're still standing tall We're going out with a bang We're going out with a bang I said we gonna go out with a bang Bang, bang, bang Out with a bang If you say we're losing Watch out we're taking the crown Thumbs go up all the way No sign of slowing down If you think we're exited I cannot tell you how much ‘Cause life's a heartbeat away And we're never losing touch ‘Cause all those years of rockin' hard Have taught us how to rise and how to fall We're standing tall	03:46
2.	We Built This House	LYRICS Love is the glue That holds us together Faith and believing is the key This door of forever Baby, you and I We're every reason on earth Now and again it's always us Against the world When the rain fell and the flood came And the wind blew hard like a hammer on these walls We didn't crack or break or fall We built this house on a rock We built this house on a rock There is a time To face stormy weather But we are always standing strong A lifetime together Baby, you and I We don't regret anything Now it's the two of us again Against the wind ¬ When the rain fell and the flood came And the wind blew hard like a hammer on these walls We didn't crack or break or fall We built this house on a rock We built this house on a rock Brick by brick we have set it up Oh man, if these walls could talk Bit by bit based it on trust We gave it all we got	03:53
3.	Rock My Car	LYRICS Rock, rock, rock my car Let's push the pedal down to the metal! Rock, rock, rock my car Let's push the pedal down to the metal! Yeah! Ultimate pleasure is waiting for me You wanna join in for a drive The engine is roaring, I double the speed In Iove with the fast lane of life Run to the hare, I’m changing the gear Let’s get the power unchained My heart’s beating faster, ‘cause I can hear The highway is calling my name Fasten your seatbelts Ready to go We gonna have fun tonight Rock, rock, rock my car Let's push the pedal down to the metal! Rock, rock, rock my car Let's push the pedal down to the metal! Yeah! The maximum power, it can't be too fast And when the morning arrives We´re starting all over, no future no past Forever big city nights Put on your helmet Ready to go We gonna have fun tonight Rock, rock, rock my car Let's push the pedal down to the metal! Rock, rock, rock my car Let's push the pedal down to the metal! Yeah!	03:20
4.	House Of Cards	LYRICS Sometimes I walk mysterious places Hear voices that talk without a word to say Sometimes I hear the echoes of laughter In the twilight of affairs and other tragedies A half-moon away, way too dose to heaven She had the Iook, but no morality Sometimes it's easy to forget only for a moment But there are nights you regret eternally Whatever frozen hearts can do Will melt the ice away How you know what it's like When good luck has changed the sides And no sun shines in the dark and no angels Ever hear your prayers in the night When your fears come up your spine When your life turns upside down it breaks your heart When you get crushed in a house of cards House of cards It´s so hard to find a way when life is in pieces And the taste of a kiss is so bittersweet Sometimes it's easy to forget only for a moment But the man who'll rise up from the ashes is no one else but me l'm standing in a waterfall To wash the lies away How you know what it's like When good luck has changed the sides And no sun shines in the dark and no angels Ever hear your prayers in the night When your fears come up your spine When your life turns upside down it breaks your heart House of cards Whatever frozen hearts can do Will melt the ice away How you know what it's like When good luck has changed the sides And no sun shines in the dark and no angels Ever hear your prayers in the night When your fears come up your spine When your life turns upside down and there is no one You get crushed in a house of cards House of cards	05:05
5.	All For One	LYRICS The weekend comes around The gang is back in town We love Saturdays We love Saturdays Another drink to slam The Girls Wham Bang The Band starts to play The Band starts to play That road fever never leaves me cold You son of a gun, you never let me go All for one standing tall through high and low All for one we ride the storm where it may blow All for one and one for all A California jam Meet some good old friends The city never sleeps The city never sleeps And when we hit the road Watch out for trouble, bro Don't mess with rattlesnakes Don't mess with rattlesnakes That road fever hits me and I guess I won't stop till they'll Iay my bones to rest All for one standing tall through high and low All for one we ride the storm where it may blow All for one and one for all Once I did only care about myself Once I was lost and lonely Road can be heaven, road can be hell So if you want me, call me That road fever never leaves me cold You son of a gun, you never Iet me go All for one standing tall through high and low All for one we ride the storm where it may blow All for one just down the road, go, go, go All for onealways fast and never slow All for one and one for all	02:58
6.	Rock 'n' Roll Band	LYRICS Pick up my guitar, rock this town When passion rules I can't slow down I'm walking down the street of hungry hearts Where heaven cries when angels fall A Hollywood stage, girls in a cage Action, satisfaction, legs around the pole Bang, I'm in the spot, give me that shot We rock the night away and that's the way it goes You wanna know who I am I'm in a Rock ‘n’ Roll Band In a Rock ‘n’ Roll Band I'm in a Rock ‘n’ Roll Band In a Rock ‘n’ Roll Band Oh yeah, yes, I am She walks into the light looking hot I love the way she moves, oh my god Just another tune, her heart goes boom Come on, little lady, show me all you've got Roaring machines, wet, wet dreams Too much of everything can never be too much Don't wake me up, don't bring me down Rock ‘n’ Roll forever, that's my drug You wanna know who I am I'm in a Rock ‘n’ Roll Band In a Rock ‘n’ Roll Band I'm in a Rock ‘n’ Roll Band In a Rock ‘n’ Roll Band Oh yeah, yes, I am Night after night It's like a rollercoaster ride And when we'll crash, we're gonna fall Into the heart of Rock ‘n’ Roll	03:54
7.	Catch Your Luck And Play	LYRICS I saw her walking to the station Up for a ride on the crazy train In her eyes I saw a world of passion So much lust, so deep inside to be unchained Lost my heart for a little runaway Full of love and little lies We don't care about anything There's a brand new day tomorrow We go hey (you) live (now) And love will come your way I play my vintage six string And there's a road to follow We go hey (you) live (now) Catch your luck and play I turned around, heard her calling I was thrilled in so many ways She ate me up and I was falling And I was lost not to be found without a trace Take my heart you little runaway Full of love and little lies We don't care about anything There's a brand new day tomorrow We go hey (you) live (now) And love will come your way I play my vintage six string And there's a road to follow We go hey (you) live (now) Catch your luck and play	03:33
8.	Rollin' Home	LYRICS Way back in the days It feels so long ago But I remember it well Always looking for a pot of gold An old beat up van We would drive from gig to gig I wonder how we survived But we were on to something big Now it's time to move along We're packing this bus to leave and carry on Here we go! This rock is rollin’ home This rock is rollin’ home This rock is rollin’ home This rock is rollin’ home You gotta make it or break I always knew that we were strong No matter what was said We wouldn’t argue for too long And when it hit me hard I thought I can't go on, no more But at the end of the day You really know what friends are for Now it's time to move along The wheels keep turning 'round, we'll carry on Here we go! This rock is rollin’ home This rock is rollin’ home This rock is rollin’ home This rock is rollin’ home Now it's time to move along We're packing this bus to leave and carry on Carry on, we carry on!	04:03

Eye Of The Storm	LYRICS Another year is running through my veins Some moments wasted, some will remain The days are getting shorter and I try to drown my fears The shadows of the night slowly disappear Another day to leave it all behind Good morning life, so beautiful and bright I'm going back in time to the days when I was young And now it feels like life had just begun I'm on my way home, on my way home Yesterday seems long ago, so long ago I'm on my way home sending postcards home Greetings from the eye of the storm Another night, the curtain's coming down I hear the silence just screaming loud I can see the sunrise rising from the smoke Will you be there for me, will I ever know I'm on my way home, on my way home Yesterday seems long ago, so long ago I'm on my way home sending postcards home Greetings from the eye of the storm Rock the highway, Highway Star And bring me back, just bring me back to my Iove I'm on my way home, on my way home Yesterday seems long ago, so long ago I'm on my way home feelin’ high and low Greetings from the eye of the storm It’s been way too long I’m still living in the eye of the storm	04:27

Return To Forever celebrates a spectacular global return for Scorpions as the album is breaking and remaining in the Top 10 in multiple markets including Finland, France, Germany, Greece (#1), Hungary, Japan and Switzerland, with continued chart activity in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Holland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the U.K.!

When Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs conceived this record, the idea was to revisit their past, recording updated outtakes and unfinished song ideas from their most famous 80’s sessions. Mathias Jabs explains, “There had been quite a few unused songs over the years that were really good, but in the end didn’t make the cut back then due to the limited space on vinyl. We focused on eight songs, which were partly finished which we then recorded from scratch. During the work, new song ideas were added. We were having so much fun we suddenly found ourselves in the middle of the songwriting process once again. And in the end, it turned out to be a brand-new Scorpions album after all.”

Ultimately, the band recorded 19 songs altogether. Twelve of which are on the album, sixteen on the Deluxe Edition. They all present the Scorpions at the peak of their creativity once again. Tracks like the first single “We Built This House” are as contemporary as the sweeping “House Of Cards” (a guaranteed live hit). Also belonging in the category live hit is “Eye Of The Storm”, a track, that transports a notion of the unbelievable dynamic and joy of playing, characterizing the Scorpions’ stage performances. In songs like “We Built This House” the band reflects the past fifty years; their philosophy and the lessons, their unusual life taught them. Klaus Meine: “In the end, it tells our story. We’ve built this house called Scorpions brick by brick and often quite arduously. From the first days in Hannover, the first concerts abroad, until this very day. We’ve weathered severe storms, but the house withstood everything, turned out to be wheatherproof and stable. However, building the house was never just cumbersome, but joyful as well. The joy of music, the joy of having experienced and still experiencing it all, the joy of – and the thankfulness for – the fans’ affection. We have been working hard for this dream, but we’re thankful as well for having been able to live it, and for still being able to live it today.”
