"Hell Raiser"

It's like a burning in the fires of Hell
And if I hold it too long
You never can tell what would happen to me
Wouldn't want you to see
I said now Mama, you don't understand
Every time I touch her hand
It's like I'm burning in the fires of Hell
And if I hold her too long
You never can tell what will happen to me
Wouldn't want you to see
"Hell Raiser"
She's came to life on the shell
Like a fish out of Hell
And when she's shaking like oooh
Everyone fell
It's a feat
And that's neat
And she took me COMPLETELY by surprise with her ultrasonic eyes
That were flashing like hysterical danger signs
She said, "Beware where you tread or you'll go out of your head!"
She's like a live bomb shell
Like a flash out of hell
And when she's shaking her oooh
Everyone fell at her feet
And that's neat and she took me completely

That were flashing like hysterical danger signs
That said beware where you tread
Or you'll go out of your head

Damn Sam, glam Sam
Dancing, glancing

Gotta get back to the life in the street
We're lost angels
Pick and choose a way to rock 'n' roll
...
And I turn into space to see myself disappear
Gotta get back to the love in the street
We're lost angels
Gotta choose the way to rock 'n' roll
...
And I turn in this space to see myself disappear
My understanding by my lyrics is that each of the band members is fighting internally between doing drugs ('life in the street') and finding a better way to rock and roll ('pick and choose'). The classic examples are the two keys to The Sweet's sound - Brian Connolly's fighting (literally) against alcohol vs Andy Scott's cleaner living.
Gotta get on back to the love on the street
Gotta get gown, I got lead on my feet.
Gotta get on back to the life in the street
Gotta get down 'cause I'm dead on my feet.
Gotta get on back to the luck in the street
Gotta get back to the dead on my feet.
Gotta get on back to the life in the street
Gotta get down 'cause I'm dead on my feet.

Be a shimmy shawl priest.
He appears, you'll freeze.
"Rebel Rouser"
Inside out gonna burn tonight
'Cause the heat is on and the time is right
Who is the face that's gonna set the pace?
What a rocker, what a roller, I'm in outer space
Come on, come on, will you come on strong
With my knees all weak from your lightning streak
Like a Sunday flash, supersonic crash
The Episcopal Priest knock ya head over heels
All right, all right, all right, all right
Rebel rouser, rabble rouser
High speed king, worship everything
But the rebel rouser, rabble rouser
Juvenile child
...
He's got deep green eyes that can hypnotise
Crazy sky high lies temper a disguise
...
I'm a supersonic razor laser from the sky ...
Inside out gonna burn tonight
'Cause the heat is on and the time is right
Who is the face that's gonna set the pace?
Oh I'm a rocker, I'm a roller, I'm outer space!
Oh come on, come on, well you come on strong
With my knees all weak from your lightning streak
Like a thunder flash, supersonic crash
He appears, you'll freeze
Knock ya head over heels
All right, all right, all right, all right
Rebel rouser, rebel rouser
High speed king, worship everything
'Bout the rebel rouser, rabble rouser
Juvenile drive
...
He's got u.v. eyes that can hypnotise
And his sky high lies infra-red disguise
...
I'm a supersonic racer laser from the sky
I'd like to thank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzJJU-yGkEk that features Steve Priest's vocals alone (he in fact carries the song) that allowed me to transcribe correct lyrics for the first time (unlike other sites), although it does sound like he sings 'knees all weep' rather than 'knees all weak'. Maybe from kneeling in awe of the Rebel Rouser, lol.
"Rock 'n' Roll Disgrace"

"The Lies In Your Eyes" (MP3)
The lies in your eyes don't disguise But the lies in your eyes
The lies in your eyes don't disguise What belies in your eyes
Great song, but the lyrics are mostly nonsense (sorry Andy). At least my lyric makes much more sense here!
'cause you're all part of the 16s
'cause you're all part of the six teens
You know you'll never go wrong 'cause you're all part of the Sixties
...
Oh, they would walk the strip at night
And dream they saw their native lights
On Desolation Boulevard, they liked the native light
You know you'll never go wrong 'cause you're all part of the six teens
...
Oh, they would walk the strip at nights
And dream they saw their name in lights
On Desolation Boulevard, they'll light the faded light
In my version, Suzie and Davey were a Red Indian couple.
Suzy and Davy got to make the big time, make the bacon
Put it all together in a show that lasts forever
Suzy and Davy got to make the big time
Maybe they can put it all together
In a show that lasts forever

Thou many ha ha ha tender touch.

About Minnie Ha-Ha and her tender touch.
