Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're the boys we got nothing to lose
I've had enough now of school and stuff now
If you ain't with us then it's just bad news
Only you can rock me rock me
Come on back now do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
We can't wait from day to day
'Cause we've got something to say
We can't wait from day to day
'Cause we've got something to say
Come on the street now on every corner
Breaking out and we're doing what we want to
Just like a jewel shines in the night
She burns so hot out under the street light
[Chorus:]
We are here and there's no end
We keep on coming again
We are here and there's no end
We just keep coming again
Who's taking time out, we take a shine out
We're the boys we got nothing to lose
I've had enough now of school
And stuff now
If you ain't with us then it's just bad news
Only you can rock me, rock me
Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kicking out just like a hurricane
We can't wait from day to day
'Cause we've got something to say
We are here and there's no end
We'll keep on coming again
We can't wait from day to day
'Cause we've got something to say
We are here and there's no end
We'll keep on coming again

Schenker & Mogg would be good...but neither one has it like they used to.
And the chemistry with this lineup was perfect...magical...like Van Halen, Led Zeplin, etc...and many other bands (except for the personality clashes).
It's over.
What we need is more quality videos like this one with this lineup and this era.
I'm sure they have to have more than one song.
I'd watch those videos over & over again.
I've been listening to "Strangers" over & over again for 40 years now and have never tired of it.
Led Zeplin called it quits when their drummer passed away because they said without John Bonham it would never be the same.

Too bad he was a violent drunk that made Michael Schenker leave the band. Other than that he had a great voice.
