This heavy metal group formed in Los Angeles, California, USA, and featured Stephen Pearcy (vocals), Robbin Crosby (guitar), Warren DeMartini (guitar), Juan Croucier (bass) and Bobby 'The Blotz' Blotzer (drums). They evolved out of '70s band Mickey Ratt, transmuting into their present form in 1983, with a hint of pop about their brand of metal similar to Cheap Trick or Aerosmith. They released a self-titled mini-album in 1983 on a local label, and struck up a close personal friendship with members of Mötley Crüe which no doubt helped them to sign to Atlantic the following year. They made their breakthrough with their first full album, OUT OF THE CELLAR, which stayed in the Billboard Top 20 for six months. They toured with Ozzy Osbourne before joining a Billy Squier jaunt where they were apparently 'thrown off' because they were more popular than the headline act.

No Surprise Lyrics
Ratt
Why live your life with no surprise
Why live your life with no surprise
Why live your life with no surprise
Why live your life with no surprise
Hey!
Livin's easy when you think you've got control
Don't look too close, you'll find your silver isn't gold
Leave your problems behind you, take a hold
I'm gonna show you things you've never seen before
Why live your life with no surprise
I'll tell you something
(Tell you something)
Why waste your time, it's no surprise
You've got everything
You spoke the oldest crossing well over mine
You're running home cause I'm workin' late at night
And the way that you're move me, you make me wanna scream
One in a million, you're right out of my dream
Why live your life with no surprise
There's only one thing
(Tell you one thing)
Why waste your time, it's no surprise
You've got everything
If they wanted your charms, you couldn't play their games
If they wanted your life, you couldn't push them away
After fighting for days, they couldn't beg you to stay
Now you're gonna live your own way
Why live your life with no surprise
I'll tell you something
(Tell you something)
Why waste your time, it's no surprise
You've got everything
(Everything)
Why live your life with no surprise
There's only one thing
(Tell you one thing)
Why waste your time, it's no surprise
You've got everything
Why live your life with no surprise
There's only one thing
(Tell you one thing
