LYRICS:
Stranded in this town
My machine slows down
To take me where the night begins
I´m playing everywhere
Loving here and there
I always take the chance to win
Drove a million miles
Gambling rules my life
I only stop to start again
I reach out through the air
Good look is everywhere
Can almost touch it with my hands
Just a little luck tonight
Will do and dreams come true
Just a little luck tonight
I can´t stop the wheel
That turns the ball of steel
When passion rules the game
I ain´t got no control, when my heart´s in flames
I´m a stranger in this town
Life takes me up and down
I´ll break the score until I´m free
Can´t stop to roll the dice
And in the morning light
A girl like you is all I need
Don´t you need some love tonight
I do, yes I do
Don´t you need some love tonight
How can we stand the heat
When love is all we need
When passion rules the game
I ain´t got no control, when my heart´s in flames

When you can choose to see Scorpions, Def Leppard, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Rush, Ozzy, Dio, Guns & Roses, Bon Jovi, Queensryche, David Lee Roth, Megadeth, Anthrax, Gary Moore, Kiss, Judas Priest, Whitesnake and even Deep Purple or Sabbath... and many more, you know you were an 80s kid and will always be one. What a glorious time it was.

During a concert like this. You were surrounded by thousands. Not one of them an enemy. I've never experienced a greater feeling of unity than I did at a show like this. How I miss the 1980's so much.

[@curtisboswell2619]

Maybe... if, as a society, we could begin seeing one another as people... instead of letting the media, and the politicians divide us all along divisive lines of political belief, religious belief, color, economic background, and nationality...? We could have this unity again. Maybe that is what the politicians fear...

I love their music

[@magdachlebicka3895]

No matters how much I'm sad, worried, scared, lost, broken and crying, this song always makes me feel better. Klaus' voice is what I've been raised on, so it helps me to get calm, gives me that feeling, that everything is right like it should be. Also, the energy and hapines in this song & vid are so strong and natural, that I can get lost in watching it, forget about everything and load my batteries from their smiles. Thank you, Scorpions, for keeping me out of depression for so many years, and thank you, mom, for bringing me to this band!

[@dancerelle5020]

My mom showed me the scorpions. To brother. Your mother is real deal.

[@bitchybitch9517]

I never met any of the scorpions but i can tell for sure that they have true hearts and want to encourage people through their songs, and are close to GOD. Like rush; they sing about things that impact peoples lives everyday. The scorpions are NOT like ac/dc or some rap crap noise!

[@dancerelle5020]

Your right bitchy. Scorpions. Petra. Y&T. Impellitary robrock. Dio. Queensryche. Judas preist iron maiden. Praying mantis. Old school black belts.

‘Savage Amusement’ was the first ‘Scorpions ‘🦂 album I bought. It’s my favourite album of theirs. I then went onto buying their entire back catalogue. 🦂 ‘Scorpions’ are in my top ten Hard Rock/Heavy Metal bands of all time. I know many ‘Scorpions ‘🦂 fans disregard this particular album as too commercial and poppy but I don’t see it that way. It fucking rocks! I hold ‘Savage Amusement’ with the same high regard as ‘Taken By Force’, ‘Lovedrive’ & ‘Love At First Sting’. The 80’s. The decade when Hard Rock & Heavy Metal ruled the airwaves.
