| 1."Can't Get Enough"
Well, I'll take whatever I want
and baby, I want you
you give me something I need
Now tell me I got something for you refrain:
come on, come on, come on and do it
come on and uh, do what you do chorus:
I can't get enough of your love
I can't get enough of your love

Итак, небезызвестный вокалист Пол Роджерс, прихватив из своей бывшей группы ''Free'' ударника Саймона Кирка, объединился для создания новой группы с экс-гитаристом ''Mott The Hoople'' Миком Ральфсом и пришедшим из ''King Crimson'' басистом Бозом Барреллом. Менеджером команды, наречённой “Bad Company”, подрядился опекун “Цеппелинов” Питер Грант, и дело пошло.
Всего за 10 дней в здании бывшей богадельни в Восточном Гэмпшире парни записали альбом, ставший классикой блюз-хард-рока, и взлетевший на первую строчку Billboard'а!
Жизнерадостная «открывашка» диска «Can't Get Enough» стала одной из визитных карточек группы, попутно заняв весьма солидное 5-е место в чарте синглов. Также порадовали бодрые буги-роковые номера «Rock Steady» и «Movin' On», мрачноватая среднетемповая «Bad Company» (тоже ставшая одной из эталонных песен коллектива) и, разумеется, баллады: задумчивая «Ready for Love», романтичная «The Way I Choose» с грамотными вкраплениями партий духовых инструментов, соуловая (во многом благодаря женскому бэк-вокалу) «Don't Let Me Down» и акустическая «Seagull», которую Роджерс исполнял даже в турне с Queen.
Вывод: абсолютная классика, один из лучших рок-альбомов 70-х, необходимый к прослушиванию всем любителям не слишком тяжёлого рока с яркой блюзовой составляющей. |

Well it's late, and I want love
love is gonna break me in two
Gonna hang me up in the doorway
Gonna hang me up like ya do
(chorus)
2."Rock Steady"
Well, when I want to rock steady,
I know, I got to get ready
Close my eyes and I let myself go.
Listen to, oh, baby, let the music flow,
Turn on your light and stay with me a while
And ease your worried mind,
Turn on your light, now babe
And stay with me a while and rock steady.
Yeah, oh, now rock steady,
Yeah, rock, rock steady.
When my love gets a little bit too heavy,
She's mine an' I got to get ready.
Close my eyes and let myself go,
I listen too, yeah, and I let the
music flow.
Yeah, it's flowing now.
Turn on your light and stay with me a while
And ease your worried mind,
Turn on your light
And stay with me a while and rock steady.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Turn on your light and stay with me a while,
And ease your worried mind; turn on your light,
Stay with me a while
And rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,
Babe, turn on your light
And ease your worried mind,
Yeah, turn on your little light,
Oh, and rock steady.
3."Ready For Love"
Walkin' down this rocky road
Wondering where my life is leadin'
Rollin' on to the bitter end
Finding out along the way
What it takes to keep love living
You should know how it feels, my friend
Ooh, I want you to stay
Ooh, I want you today
I'm ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Now I'm on my feet again
Better things are bound to happen
All my dues surely must be paid
Many miles and many tears
Times were hard but now they're changing
You should know that I'm not afraid
Ooh, I want you to stay
Ooh, I want you today
I'm ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
I'm ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Oh, for your love
4."Don't Let Me Down"
If I had a love that was so true
The I wouldn't have to make do
With the half a love that I have found
That is tear in me down to the ground
Dont let me down, dont let me down
Dont let me down, tell me love can be found
If I had a love that was so real
And who would know the way I feel
I want all your love today
Just to keep me from fading away
Dont let me down, dont let me down
Dont let me down, tell me love can be found
5."Bad Company"
Company Always on the run
Destiny is the rising sun
Oh I was born 6-gun in my hand
Behind a gun I'll make my final stand
That's why they call me Bad company
And I can't deny
Bad company
Till the day I die
Till the day I die
Till the day I die
Rebel souls
Deserters we are called
Chose a gun and threw away the sun
Now these towns
They all know our name 6-gun sound is our claim to fame
I can hear them say Bad company
And I won't deny
Bad Bad company
Till the day I die
Till the day I die
Bad,Bad company
I can't deny
Bad company
Till the day I die
And I say it's
Bad company Oh Yeah---Yeah
Bad company
Till the day I die Oh Yeah Tell me that you are not a thief
Oh But I am
Bad Company
It's the way I play
Dirty for dirty
Oh Somebody Double-crossed me
Double-cross
Double-cross
Yeah
We're Bad company
Kill in cold blood
6."The Way I Choose"
I live my life the way that I choose
I'm satisfied, nothing to lose
I don't ask no favors, I don't know the reason why
If I don't ask no questions, I don't get no lies
You give your love tederly
Every way that you move is closer to me
I don't need nobody to tell me the reason why
If I love only you baby, I'll be satisfied
Baby answer my question
If you won't say hello, don't say goodbye
I don't need nobody to tell me the reason why
If I love only you baby I'll be satisfied
You know I'll be satisfied
Because because because you satisfy my love
You satisfy my love
Don't say goodbye and leave me to cry
Don't say goodbye
Girl you're walking away
7."Movin' On''.
I get up in the morning and it's just another day
Pack up my belongings, I've got to get away.
Jump in to a taxi and the time is gettin' tight
I go to keep on movin' I got a show tonight
And I'm movin' on, movin' on from town to town
Movin' on, baby, yeah I'm never touchin' the ground. Yeah.
I take it to the ticket there's a half a dollar boat
headin' for the bordengate I'm feelin' pretty low
Fifteen minutes later, I'm sittin' on my plane
fastened in my safety belt I'm takin off again And I'm movin' on, movin' on from town to town
Movin' on, baby, yeah I'm never touchin' the ground.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Yeah.
And I'm movin' on, movin' on from town to town
Movin' on, I can't seem to stop now.I got to move on, move on from town to town.
I got to move on, I never seem to slow down.
Oh, I got to move on, move on from town to town.
I got to move on, I never seem to slow down.
8."Seagull"
Seagull, you fly across the horizon
Into the misty morning sun.
Nobody asks you where you are going,
Nobody knows where you're from.
Here is a man asking the question
Is this really the end of the world?
Seagull, you must have known for a long time
The shape of things to come.
Now you fly, through the sky, never asking why,
And you fly all around 'til somebody, Shoots you down.
Seagull, you fly, across the horizon,
Into the misty morning sun.
Nobody asks you where you are going,
Nobody knows where you are from,
Now you fly through the sky, never asking why,
And you fly all around 'til somebody, yeah,
Shoots you down. Mm mm, yeah.
Seagull you fly, seagull you fly away.
And you fly away today
And you fly away tomorrow
And you fly away, leave me to
my sorrow.
Seagull go and fly,
Fly to your tomorrow, leave me to my sorrow, fly.
