Bad Company Straight Shooter

Immediately after their greatly successful debut album "Bad Company", the group came up with their second album "Straight Shooter" in 1975. Two hits emerged from this album ie "Feel Like making Love" and "Shooting Star". The latter was written while the group was on its way to US for their second tour.

 "Shooting Star"
Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatle song,
'Love me do,' I think it was. From there it didn't take him long.
Got himself a guitar, used to play every night,
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit,

And everything's all right, don't you know?

Johnny told his mama, hey, 'Mama, I'm goin' away. I'm gonna hit the big
time, gonna be a big star someday', Yeah.
Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye.
Johnny said, 'Don't cry, mama, smile and wave good-bye'.

Don't you know, yeah yeah, Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Don't you know, don't you know. Don't you know that you are
a shooting star, And all the world will love you just as long,
As long as you are.

Johnny made a record, Went straight up to number one,
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song.
Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast.
Johnny looked around him and said, 'Well, I made the big time at last'.

Don't you know, don't you know, Don't you know that you are
a shooting star,
Don't you know, oh, yeah, Don't you know that you are
a shooting star, yeah,
And all the world will love you just as long,
As long as you are, a shooting star.

Don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you know, yeah,
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, now,
And all the world will love you just as long, As long you are you.

Johnny died one night, died in his bed, Bottle of whiskey,
sleeping tablets by his head. Johnny's life passed him by like a
warm summer day, If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play

Oh oh oh, Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Don't you know, yeah, don't you know', Don't you know that
you are a shooting star,
Don't you know, yeah,
Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Don't you, don't you,
don't you, don't you,
Don't you know, don't you
know, oh, yeah, you are,
Yeah, a shooting star, yeah, oh
oh oh oh oh......
Don't you, don't you know
that you are a shooting star,
Don't you don't you know......

"Feel Like Making Love"
 
Lyrics of "Feel Like making Love"
 
Baby, when I think about you
I think about love
Darlin', couldn't live without you
And your love

If I had those golden dreams of my yesterday
I would wrap you
In the heavens
And feel it dyin' all the way
(Dyin')

I feel like makin'
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love to you

Baby, if I think about you
I think about love
Baby baby baby, if I live without you
I live without love

And if I had the sun and moon
They were shinin'
You know I would give you both night and day
Love satisfyin'

I feel like makin'
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love to you

And if I had the sun and moon
They were shinin'
You know I would give you both night and day
Love satisfyin'

I feel like makin'
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love, love

Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love to you...
