CHORUS SNOWBALLED For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) (1981) (Young, Young, Johnson)
Crashed out of the market, out on the floor Washed up on the shore Bombed out of the City, out of the door Thrown up against the wall Put out of the picture, axe about to fall Walk before you crawl Dragged down to the bottom, screaming for air The shark must get his share You can see it coming, miles and miles away Women, drink and money are going to make you pay Snowballed, oh yeah Snowballed, they've done it again Snowballed, makin' me pay Snowballed Howl of the wolf, snow in his eyes Waiting to take you by surprise Eye of the needle, head of the fight Watch those teeth 'cause they're ready to bite You can see it coming, miles and miles away Women, drink and money are going to make you pay Snowballed, yes you have Snowballed, I've been fooled again Snowballed, that's all Snowballed Out of my mind One more time

Who's your leader, who's your man? Who will help you fill your hand? Who's your friend and who's your foe? Who's your Judas, you don't know? Night of the long knives Where's that saviour, where's that light When you're praying for your life? Who's that fighting back to back? Who's defending whose attack? Night of the long knives (Stick 'em in the back woods) Night of the long knives
SPELLBOUND For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) (1981) (Young, Young, Johnson) Blinded by a bright beam Shattered by the windscreen Stunned by the whiplash I'm a victim of a bad crash I can do nothing right I never sleep at night Can't even start a fight My feet have left the ground Spinning round and round Spellbound, my world keeps a tumbling down Beaten by a blind bend Wrong way up a dead end Screaming through a speed trap As I tear into a tail back I can do nothing right I never sleep at night Can't even start a fight My feet have left the ground Spinning round and round Spellbound, my world keeps a tumbling down I'm slipping down I got my hands in the fire I'm sliding on an oil slick Blinded on a bad trip Yes and nothing's going to change it I can do nothing right Can't even sleep at night My feet have left the ground I'm spinning round and round Spellbound, my world keeps a tumbling down
