1) Magnum is an English hard rock band. They were formed in Birmingham by Tony Clarkin (guitar, songwriter, RIP) and Bob Catley (vocals) in order to appear as the resident band at the Rum Runner nightclub in the city. Magnum have undergone several changes in personnel over the years; however, the core of Catley and Clarkin remain.
Magnum's most significant early success was Chase the Dragon in 1982, which reached number 17 in the UK Albums Chart. It included several songs that would become mainstays of the band's live set, notably "Soldier of the Line", "Sacred Hour" and "The Spirit". On a Storyteller's Night gave the band its breakthrough in Europe, and achieved a Gold certification in the United Kingdom. The band's 1986 album Vigilante represented a further move towards the mainstream before the band achieved their commercial peak in 1988 when they entered the UK Top Ten for the first time with the album Wings of Heaven, which reached number five and featured three Top 40 singles, "Days of No Trust", "Start Talking Love" and "It Must Have Been Love". It was followed by Goodnight L.A., which was produced by Keith Olsen and reached number nine in the UK Album Chart in 1990. It produced another Top 40 single for the band, "Rockin' Chair".
In 1995, Clarkin announced Magnum's split; however, Clarkin and Catley continued working together, now under the name Hard Rain, until 1999. Magnum reformed in 2001 and has enjoyed late-career commercial success. Their most recent album, The Monster Roars, was released in January 2022.

Rockin' Chair
Magnum Lyrics

Rockin Chair By Magnum.
-----------------------
You want love
You get hate
Oh you push and you shove
You know you just can't wait
You've had your fun
You don't fool no one

You build it up
To tear it down
Runnin out of luck
I won't get kicked around
I could drive all night
Till you're out of sight
Hide and seek
Turnin' on the heat
Runnin like a cadillac
I'm so sick and tired
You're a damn dirty liar
When I run
I ain't coming back
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
When you came
You played rough
Now I know your game
And you ain't good enough
On't know what you've done
'Cause you ain't begun
You fool with me
You gotta understand
That you don't get to choose
Whe night comes around
I can't be found
Hide and seek
Turnin' on the heat
Runnin like a cadillac
I'm so sick and tired
You're a damn dirty liar
When I run
I ain't coming back
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
Red sky burnin'
Won't be no returnin' so long
Fire up the motor
Don't you get no closer
Yeah I'm gone
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
I need my rockin'

But I don't need no rockin' chair
>From the L.P./Cassette "Goodnight L.A."

You cannot wait to have your way

You've had your fun
You have enjoyed yourself

You don't fool no one
You are not fooling anyone

You create something big

To tear it down
Only to destroy it

Runnin out of luck
Becoming unlucky

I won't get kicked around
I won't let you push me around

I could drive all night
I could keep driving all night

Till you're out of sight
Until you are no longer visible

Hide and seek
Play hide and seek

Turnin' on the heat
Getting intense

Runnin like a cadillac
Running fast like a Cadillac

I'm so sick and tired
I am so fed up

You're a damn dirty liar

I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
I am not ready to retire yet

When you came
When you arrived

You played rough
You were unkind

Now I know your game
Now I understand your intentions

And you ain't good enough
And you are not acceptable

Don't know what you've done
You do not realize what you have caused

'Cause you ain't begun
Because you are just starting

You fool with me
You are playing with me

You gotta understand
You must comprehend

That you don't get to choose
You do not get to decide

When night comes around
At nighttime

I can't be found
I will not be found

Red sky burnin'
The sky is turning red

Won't be no returnin'
There will be no return

So long
Goodbye

Fire up the motor
Start the engine

Don't you get no closer
Do not come any closer

Yeah I'm gone
Yes, I am leaving

I need my rockin'
I require my rocking

But I don't need no rockin' chair
But I do not need a rocking chair
