Speed King Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro (0:00 - 1:32)]
[Verse 1]
"Good Golly", said little Miss Molly
When she was rocking in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty, rocking to the east and west
Lucille was oh so real when she didn't do her daddy's will
Come on, baby drive me crazy, do it, do it
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a speed king, you gotta hear me singing
Yeah, I'm a speed king, see me fly
[Verse 2]
Saturday night and I just got paid
Going to fool about isn't going to save
People gonna rock, people gonna roll
Going to have a party to save my soul
Hard-headed woman and a soft-hearted man
They've been causing trouble since it all began
Take a little rice, take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down in New Orleans
[Chorus]
'Cause, I'm a speed king, you gotta hear me singing
Yeah, I'm a speed king, see me fly, oh
[Instrumental Break (2:38 - 4:19)]
[Dueling Organ/Guitar Solo]
Oh, oh, come on, oh, oh, ohhh!
Ha, ha, ha
[Verse 3]
"Good Golly", said little Miss Molly
When she was rocking in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty, rocking to the east and west
Hard-headed woman and a soft-hearted man
They've been causing trouble since it all began
Take a little rice, take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down in New Orleans
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a speed king, you gotta hear me singing
Yeah, I'm a speed king, see me fly
I'm a speed king, you gotta hear me singing
Yeah, I'm a speed king, see me... hahahahahahaha
Yeah, I'm a speed king, you gotta hear me singing
Yeah, I'm a speed king, see me, oh
Bloodsucker Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got a black breast Chinese eyes
Got an English brain that's gonna make me wise
Got a long story that I wanna tell
To a rhythm that I know so well
Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give
Baby, I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live
I tried another but she didn't want to know
[Refrain]
Oh, no, no, no
[Verse 2]
Take a hold now if you can
Take a lesson from a hard lovin' man
I'm a long way from where I wanna go
Guess I'll stay awhile, I really love you so
How's about another sip of all the wine you got
Take a tip from me and give it here, I'll drink the lot
I'm not a winey, I'm a puttin' on a show
[Refrain]
Oh, no, no, no
[Verse 3]
You really grab me but I gotta move
Before they know I'm here and spread the news
Maybe in a while when I've moved around
I can find a way to pay you back your twenty pounds
Really got a lot of lovin' that I want to give
Baby, I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live
I tried another but she didn't want to know
[Refrain]
Oh, no, no, no
[Instrumental Break 01:48-03:25]

[Organ Solo]
[Verse 4]
Got a black breast Chinese eyes
Got an English brain that's gonna make me wise
Got a long story that I wanna tell
To a rhythm that I know so well
Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give
Baby, I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live
I tried another but she didn't want to know
[Outro]
Child in Time Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Sweet child, in time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between good and bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying, oh, taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord, I bet you have
And you've not been hit, oh, by a flying lead
You'd better close your eyes
Oh, bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
[Bridge]

Sweet child, in time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between good and bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying, mmm, taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord, I bet you have
And you've not been hit, oh, by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes
Oh, bow your head
Wait for the ricochet

Flight of the Rat Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Spread the word around, the rat is leaving town
The message is a song, the misery is gone, ooh yes, it is
Once I had a dream to sing before the queen
She didn't want to know, she wouldn't see the show
[Chorus]
Oh, what a fright, I couldn't do it right
Oh, what a night, ooh, what a night
[Verse 2]
Mystic demons fly all about the sky
With memories of a clown, the saddest show in town, yeah
When I was seventeen, my mother said to me
"Be careful what you touch, you shouldn't take so much"
[Chorus]
I blew my mind, she was so kind
I could have cried, oh
[Bridge]
Ooh, in my mind I had to find
A kind of new way of being oh so cool
Like a blue blooded, well studded English fool
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Speak about the past, the times are changing fast
Once I was so weak, I couldn't even speak, not a word
Shaking out a curse, nothing could be worse
Walking through the door, who could ask for more?
[Chorus]
And now I'm free and I can see
And I am me, yes, I am me
Oh
[Instrumental Break (2:40 - 5:24)]
[Organ Solo]
(Yeah! work it out, now, ooh)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
Spread the word around, the rat is leaving town
The message is a song, the misery is gone
Shaking out a curse, nothing could be worse
Walking through the door, who could ask for more?
[Chorus]
Now I'm free and I can see
And I am me, yes, I am me
[Instrumental Break (5:56 - 6:46)]
[Outro]
Oh, please stay away
[Instrumental Outro]
[Drum Solo]
Into the Fire Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Take the trouble to decide the things you do
Will not be the things that don't appeal to you
See the mess you're making
Can't you see your faking?
[Chorus]
Going to make it hard for you
You're gonna
Into the fire
[Verse 2]
Turn on to the mandrake that was given to you
See if you can make it like the others do
Feel the blood a knocking
When you're finger-popping
[Chorus]
Going to make it hard for you
You're gonna
Into the fire
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Stop your bleeding mind before it's over and done
Listen very closely to the message I've sung
Feel the blood a knocking
When you're finger-popping
[Chorus]
Gonna get a message through
You're gonna
Into the fire
[Outro]
Living Wreck Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You came along for a weekend
But you only stayed for one night
You took off your hair
You pulled out your teeth
Oh I almost died of fright, hey
[Chorus]
You'd better do something for your own sake
Yeah, it's a shame
Ah, you know you're a living wreck
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
You said you were a virgin
Full of promise and mystery
But I knew that you
Would bring me down
Because everyone calls you big G, yeah hey
[Chorus]
You'd better do something for your own sake
Yeah, it's a shame
Ah, you know you're a living wreck
[Hook]
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
You said you're gonna love me
You said you're gonna set me free
But I knew that you
Would bring me down, ye-he
And cause me misery, yeah
[Chorus]
You'd better do something for your own sake
Yes, it's a shame
Ah, you know you're a living wreck
[Hook]
[Organ Solo]
Hard Lovin’ Man Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Break my back with hard loving
Take my hand and keep moving
Don't slow down, we're nearly there now
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Can you stand the pain? Oh
[Refrain]
I'm a hard loving man
[Verse 2]
What's your name? It's alright now
Trick or treat, we're uptight now
Wanna feel you, I wanna hear you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Here we go again, oh
[Refrain]
I'm a hard loving man
[Organ Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Come back here, it's not over
Can't you see there's still time, girl?
I can last, make it fast now
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Gotta catch a train, oh
[Refrain]
I'm a hard loving man
[Guitar Solo/Outro]
