Songs by Jim Steinman

Intro

All revved up with no place to go

Everything louder than everything else

Who needs the young

Out of the frying pan and into the fire

It just won´t quit

Two out of three aint bad

Paradise by the dashboard light

Bat out of hell

Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

You took the words right out of my mouth

Not allowed to love

Dead ringer for love

Rock and roll dreams come through

For crying out loud

Making love out of nothing at all

What part of my body hurts the most

Heaven can wait

It's all coming back to me now

I´d do anything for love but I won´t do that
