First song I ever heard from Motley Crue and possibly my favourite as well. Such a raw rocking sound that layed the foundation of making Motley Crue one of the biggest bands of the metal genre. Classic.

Plug me in
I'm alive tonight
out on the streets again
turn me on
I'm too hot to stop
something you'll never forget
take my fist
break down walls
I'm on top tonight

No, no
you better turn me loose
you better set me free
'Cause I'm hot, young, running free
a little bit better than I used to be

Cause I'm alive
Live wire
Cause I'm alive
I'm a live wire
Cause I'm alive
Live wire
Cause I'm alive
I'm a live wire

I'll either break her face
or take down her legs
get my ways at will
Go for the throat
never let loose
Goin' in for the kill
take my fist
break down walls
I'm on top tonight

No, no
you better turn me loose
you better set me free
'Cause I'm hot, young, running free
a little bit better than I used to be

Cause I'm alive
Live wire
Cause I'm alive
I'm a live wire
Cause I'm alive
Live wire
Cause I'm alive
I'm a live wire

Come on baby
gotta play with me
Well I'm your live wire
You better lock your doors
I'm on the prowl tonight
well be mine tonight

Cause I'm alive
Live wire
Cause I'm alive
I'm a live wire
Cause I'm alive
Live wire
Cause I'm alive
I'm a live wire

Come on be my baby
Come on tonight
Come on love me baby
Come on tonight
I'll give you everything
you want inside
Plug me in, plug me in
I want you
Come on tonight

Cause I'm alive
Live wire
Cause I'm alive
I'm a live wire
Cause I'm alive
Live wire
Cause I'm alive
I'm a live wire

Great song choice Sam! I was watching the DVD of their videos the other day and noticed how young they all looked. My cousin bought some sort of Greatest Remastered Hits of the Crue's that has Livewire on it. In the remastered versions, Livewire sounds alot less raw than it did originally. There's nothing like the original.....

I could never pass up talking about my favorite band or about "Live Wire" which was The Crue's first hit and an absolute Rock till You Drop, In Your Face, Anthem of 80's Hair Metal Decadence!!! This is the song that started it all!! Not just for Motley Crue but for the Hair/Glam movement, in general!!!! When I saw the boys cut it up live on the Red White and Crue tour, I was totally blown away!!! They play it so much faster live and it rocks like a 150 mph Rhino on speed with Rabies!!!! This is the complete Metal anthem and vintage, take no prisoners, sleazy Motley Crue. I sang this song in Atlanta, GA with a karaoke band!!! I was the freakin' lead singer!!! Made a complete fool of myself but for those few minutes I was as big as Vince Neil and could hit the high notes (or so I thought). My 15 minutes of fame came and went pretty fast. Motley Crue ROCKS LIKE A BIG DAWG!!!!!!!!!

Hey, Hey, My, My..........Motley Crue will Never Die!!!!!!!!!!!!!
