Night Of The Long Knives Spellbound ACDC

This is the title track to the AC/DC album that followed Back In Black, one of the best-selling albums of all time. Back In Black never hit #1 on the US albums chart, but For Those About To Rock did.

For Those About to Rock is the eighth studio album by AC/DC. It was released on 20 November 1981 in the United States, 27 November 1981 in the United Kingdom and 7 December 1981 in Australia.

For Those About to Rock became the first AC/DC album to ever hit No. 1 in the US on the Billboard chart and stayed on the top for three weeks. To date, in the US, it has achieved four million sales. In the UK, the album's two singles, "Let's Get It Up" and "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)", made it to No. 13 and No. 15, respectively. The album has sold an estimated seven million copies worldwide, making it one of the highest sold AC/DC albums worldwide.

However it marks a major drop-off in sales in the United States, only selling 4 million as follow-up to the 25× platinum Back in Black. In a 2008 Rolling Stone cover story, David Fricke singled out the title track for praise, noting its "unusual stop-start effect that hooks you just as hard as their usual railroad drive."
Tracks
9."Night of the Long Knives"
10."Spellbound"

Spellbound
AC/DC
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
Oh, my feet have left the ground
Spinning round and round

Spellbound
My world keeps tumbling down
Spellbound
My world keeps tumbling down

Beaten by a blind man
Wrong way up a dead end
Screaming through a speed trap
As I tear into a tailback

You know
I can do nothing right
No, I, I never sleep at night
And I can't even start a fight
Well, my feet have left the ground
Spinning round and round

Spellbound
My world keeps tumbling down
Spellbound
My world keeps tumbling down
Yeah, keeps tumbling down

C'mon, slide!

I'm slipping down

I got my hands in the fire

Ooh, I'm sliding on an oil slick
Blinded on a bad trip
Yes, and nothing's going to change it

No, 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 tumbling down
Spellbound
My world keeps tumbling down

No, no

Spellbound
My world keeps tumbling down, yeah
Spellbound
My world keeps tumbling down

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
Night of the long knives
Night of the long knives
Night of the long, long knife

Where's that savior, 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
Night of the long knives
Night of the long knives
Night of the long, long knife

Night of the long knives

Stab him in the back once!

Night of the long knives
Night of the long knives
Night of the long knives
Night of the long, long knife

Night of the long knives
Night of the long knives
Night of the long knives
