Technical Ecstasy

[Verse 1]

Told you once about your friends and neighbours

They were always seeking, but they'll never find it

[Chorus]

It's alright, yes, it's alright

[Verse 2]

Where to go and where to see?

It's always been that way and it can never be

[Chorus]

It's alright, yes, it's alright

[Verse 3]

Give it all and ask for no return

And very soon you'll see and you'll begin to learn

[Chorus]

That's it's alright, yes, it's alright

[Bridge]

Uh, uhhh-uhh

Uhh-uhh, uh-uh-uhhh

[Chorus]

It's alright, yes, it's alright

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]

Don't you know that it's so good for you?

You can be making love and see it all go through

[Chorus]

But it's alright, yes, it's alright

[Verse 5]

Someone told you once about your friends and neighbours

They were always seeking but they'll never find it

[Chorus]

It's alright, yes, it's alright

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

Oh, ohhh-oh

Uh, uhhh-uhh

Uh, uhhh-uhh

[This song is about] a female transvestite who becomes President of the United States, because America was such a misogynistic society at the time.

—Geezer Butler[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]

Super animation, turning on a nation

And they're saying all moving parts stand still

Since he was elected, adrenalin injected

Hear him saying all moving parts should kill

Just like the hero he's got them all on the run

Yes, he’s won, yeah, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

Since he passed the motion

They're building in the ocean

And he's saying all men should all be free

What a combination, peace and radiation

And he's saying free men should fight for me

Just like his momma, he seems to get his pleasure from pain

And the rain, ain’t that strange? Very strange, yeah

[Bridge]

I like choking toys

You've got to see me before you meet the boys

Teacher's burnt the school

He’s had enough of sticking to the rules, alright!

People stop and see

He's got to be more decadent than me

Just to pass the time

He gets his kicks from licking off the wine

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Pretty silly ladies

All Cynthia's and Sadie's

Call him up and he takes their numbers down

Says he is a woman

I should have seen it coming

And she's saying she's married to a clown

Just like a lady, she'll keep you guessing through the night

Not tonight, well I might, oh alright, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Instrumental Intro]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]

Well I'm sick and tired of hearing

'Bout the world and its hangups

Gonna get myself together

Take a ride downtown

[Chorus]

Gotta see my rock and roll doctor

Gotta see my rock and roll doctor

Gotta see my rock and roll doctor

I gotta see him, see him today

He’s gonna blow me away

[Verse 2]

He makes me happy

When I'm feeling down, yeah

Takes away my worry

Takes away my frown

[Chorus]

Gotta see my rock and roll doctor

Gotta see my rock and roll doctor

Gotta see my rock and roll doctor

I gotta see him, see him today

He gonna blow me away

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

If you wanna feel groovy

Give the doctor a call, yeah

Doctor rock will help you

Anytime at all

[Chorus]

Gotta see my rock and roll doctor

Gotta see my rock and roll doctor

Gotta see my rock and roll doctor

I gotta see him, see him today

He gonna blow me away

[Outro]

Oh, away

That gonna blow me away

Oh, away

Ooh, yeah, yeah, all the way

That gonna blow me away

Oh, all the way

Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah, all the way

Ooh, yeah, ooh

[Verse 1]

I've been a long long time waiting for you

I didn't want to see you go, oh, no, no

And now, it's hurting so much, what can I do?

I wanted you to be my wife

The days are passing slowly since you've gone

Your memories are all I have, yes, I have

I sit here waiting, but you'll never show

Without you, I can't carry on, ooh, my baby

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

You said you'd always love me all of my life

And then you said your last goodbye, yeah, goodbye

Why the sudden changes, why all of the lies?

I should have seen it in your eyes

The endless hours of heartache waiting for you

My summer love has turned to rain all the pain

The silent emptiness of one sided love

My life means nothing now you're gone, ooh, my baby
