Rough Justice Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One time, you were my baby chicken
Now you've grown into a fox
And once upon a time, I was your little rooster
Now am I just one of your cocks?
[Chorus]
It's rough justice, oh yeah
You're gonna have to trust me
It's rough justice
But you know I'll never break your heart
[Verse 2]
So put your lips to my hips, baby
And tell me what's on your mind
I know you still got that animal attraction for me
It's been a long, long time
[Chorus]
It's rough justice, oh yeah
Oh, we're never gonna dust it
It's rough justice
But you know I'll never break your heart
You're feeling loose and lusty
So if you really want me, yeah
It's rough justice
And you know I'll never break your heart
[Chorus]
It's rough justice, oh yeah
You think you're real, it's just me
It's rough justice
But you know I'll never break your heart
[Verse 4]
First time I saw, baby
You were springing like a young gazelle
And next thing I know, we're way down the road
And you're flying like a bat out of hell
[Chorus]
It's rough justice, oh yeah
You'll have to, to discuss it
You're gonna have to trust me
But you know I'll never break your heart
I give you my position
Don't want no opposition
It's rough justice
But you know I'll never break your heart
[Outro]
Whoa
Now come on, babe
Whoa, now, now
Come on, baby, woo
Come on, baby, now
Let Me Down Slow Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You look a little dressed up
You're acting way too smart
Your face a little bit flushed
For a walk in the park
And you're clutching your phone
As you walk in the dark
And your smile's got a twist
You're looking so hardcore
If you've something to say
Don't be too direct
Because I feel a little fragile
Don't hit the nail on the head
[Chorus]
I said, baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no
I said, baby, baby, let me down real slow
No no no no
[Verse 2]
There's a swish in your step
There's a gleam in your eye
Are you coloring your hair
With some new kind of dye?
But the first one to blink
Is the first one to fall
I don't want a confrontation
I've got my back to the wall
[Chorus]
Whoa I said, baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no no
I said, baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no no no no
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I said baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no no
I said let me stretch out in the afterglow
Oh nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah no
[Outro]
Let me down real slow
Oh no no no no no no no
Oh baby, baby, don't rest on your phone
Oh no no no
Oh
It Won’t Take Long Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And it won't take long to forget you
Time it passes fast
It'll all be over in a minute
You'll be in the past
You can lose the love of a lifetime
In a single roll
You can gain a fortune in an instant
Or you can lose your soul
[Chorus]
And it won't take long to forget you
You know I'm never wrong
It'll all be over in a minute
It won't take long
[Verse 2]
And it won't take long to forgive you
But it's hard to forget
'Cause it seems like it's yesterday
The day that we first met
When you give me a smouldering look and
Put out your cigarette
When I saw you come samtering over
You wore a pale blue dress
[Chorus]
And it won't take long to forget you
You know I'm never wrong
It'll all be over in a minute
It won't take long
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Life is short, one look and it's over
Comes as quite a shock
All I got is some memories
Stuck in an old shoebox
[Chorus]
And it won't take long to forget you
You know I'm never wrong
It'll all be over by Christmas
No, it won't take long
[Outro]
It won't take long
It won't take long
It won't take long
It won't take long
It won't take long
It won't take long
It won't take long
It won't take long
Rain Fall Down Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It was a filthy block of flats, trash was on the floor
A stink was in my nose, hinges off the doors
She took me in her room, all was spic and span
Fixed me up a drink, turned down all the lamps
[Chorus]
And the rain fell down
On the cold, hard ground
And the phone kept ringing
And we made sweet love
[Verse 2]
Why do we live in this strange grey town?
They build it up and let it all fall down
Feel like we're living in a battleground
Everybody's jazzed
Why do we live in this strange grey town?
The paint is peeling and the sky turned brown
The bankers are wankers, every Thursday night
They just vomit on that ground
[Chorus]
And the rain fell down
On the cold, grey town
And the phone kept ringing
And we made sweet love
And we made sweet love
[Bridge]
Everybody's dreaming
Everybody's scheming
Watching the rain fall down
[Verse 3]
She cooked me up some eggs, then she made some tea
Kissed me on the cheek and I turned on her TV
It was all the usual crap, all the usual sleaze
For ten thousand quid, some bimbo spilled the beans, yeah
[Chorus]
And the rain fell down
On the cold, wet town
And the phone kept ringing
And we made sweet love
And we made sweet love
[Outro]
Yeah, and the rain fell down
And we made, and we made
And we made sweet love, yeah
And the phone kept, and the phone kept ringing
Yeah, mmm, ah, yeah
And the phone kept ringing
The phone kept ringing, yeah
And the rain (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain)
Streets of Love Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're awful bright, you're awful smart
I must admit you broke my heart
The awful truth is really sad
I must admit, I was awful bad
While lovers laugh and music plays
I stumble by and I hide my pain
Mmm, the lamps are lit, the moon is gone
I think I've crossed the Rubicon
[Chorus]
And I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're full of tears
And I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're full of fears
[Verse 2]
While music pumps from passing cars
A couple watch me from a bar
A band just played the wedding march
And the corner store mends broken hearts
And a woman asks me for a dance
Oh, it's free of charge, just one more chance
[Chorus]
Oh, but I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're full of tears
And I, I
Walk the streets of love
For a thousand years
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, tell me now
Well, I, ayy
I walk the streets of love
Yeah, and they're drenched with tears, oh
[Bridge]
You had the moves, you had the cards
I must admit you were awful smart
The awful truth is awful sad
I must admit I was awful bad
[Chorus]
And I, I walk the streets of love
And they're drenched with tears
And I, I walk the streets of love
For a thousand years, oh
[Outro]
I, I walk the streets of love
And they're drenched with tears, oh
I, I
Oh, there's only one that love could hear my, oh
I, I
Yeah, and they're full of tears
Oh, everybody be talking 'bout it (I, I)
Oh, everybody be walking by
And I, yeah, but I felt that, I, oh, yes, that I
Oh, yes, I could (I, I)
Oh, that's deep, deep love
Yeah, they're drenched, they're drenched in tears
And I (I, I)
Oh, yeah, come on, give it to me now
Back of My Hand Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hear a preacher on the corner
Rantin' like a crazy man
He say there trouble, trouble’s a-comin'
I can read it like the back of my hand
Mm-mm-mm mm-mm mm-mm mm
[Verse 2]
I see love, I see misery
Jammin' side by side on the stage
In the wind some mournful melody
I can read it like the back of my hand
Mm-mm-mm mm-mm mm-mm mm
Ah, the back of my hand
Oh yeah
[Instrumental Break]
Oh yeah
Mm-mm
[Verse 3]
Oh, I see dreams, I see visions
Images I don't understand
I see Goya's paranoias
I can read it like the back of my hand
Read it like the ah, ah, ah, ah
Well, read it like the back of my hand
[Outro]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Mm-mm-mm mm-mm mm-mm mm
Oh yeah, mm-mm
Read it like the back of my hand
She Saw Me Coming Lyrics
[Intro]
She saw me coming
She saw me coming, yeah
[Verse 1]
She saw me coming, I didn't see a thing
I wasn't looking, I just walked into it
A sucker for it, I'm a sucker, thought I was so cool
She saw me coming, boy did I get screwed
Yeah
[Verse 2]
She saw me coming, she had me dead to rights
Her aim was stunning, I was lined up in her sites
She worked so fast and she didn't mess around
It was all over before the sun goes down, 'fore the sun goes down
[Chorus]
She saw me coming, yeah
She saw me coming
She saw me coming, she moved in for the kill
She saw me coming, she served up on a grill
[Bridge]
She busted in and she burglarized my soul
But now the bad news: she's out on parole
[Verse 3]
She wrote the opening, the middle, and the end
What a cast of characters of lovers and my friends
The plot was twisted, there was only one result
She saw me coming but the going, going got too tough
[Chorus]
She saw me coming, yeah, yes she did
She saw me coming, right on the grid, right on the grid
She saw me coming, oh what a stupid jerk
She saw me coming, she was a piece of work
[Outro]
She must have tapped my phone
She saw me coming, I felt like I was cloned
She saw me coming, she had me on the ropes
She saw me coming, took me for a dope
She saw me coming, yes she did, yes she did
She saw me coming
Biggest Mistake Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When love comes so late, it'll really hit hard
It slams through the gate, it'll catch you off guard
Everyone said, what a perfect love match
'Cause she is so smart, she's a hell of a catch
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I was drinking in love, gulping it down
Drifting for months on a billowing cloud
But after awhile I stopped to rebel
I'm back in the past and I'm raising up hell
[Chorus]
But I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life
And I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life
[Verse 2]
We'd been living together for over a year
The harmony's perfect, it rang loud and clear
But then very slowly, my nerves start to fray
The little things big, and that's what they say
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I acted impatient, I acted unkind
I took her for granted, I played with her mind
She didn't deserve it but it was too late
I walked out the door and left her to her fate
[Chorus]
But I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life
And I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life
[Verse 3]
Now I'm down in a slump and I'm eating alone
I ruined the day with some friends on the phone
I never go out, I'm becoming a grouch
I just watch the TV and I drink on the couch
[Pre-Chorus 3]
But if love comes again, I'll be really surprised
I'll grab it real fast, keep it right in my sights
[Chorus]
Because I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life
Well I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life
Well I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life
This Place Is Empty Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Walk right in, sit on down
And make yourself at home
Come on baby, you're just like me
And you hate to be alone
[Chorus]
It's funny how things go around
It's crazy but it's true
This place is empty, oh so empty
It's empty without you
[Verse 2]
Come on, bare your breasts
And make me feel at home
You and me we're just like all the rest
And we don't want to be alone
[Chorus]
It's funny how things go around
But go around they do
This place is empty, empty
So empty without you
Yeah, this place is empty, empty
So empty without you
Oh yeah, it's empty without you
[Verse 3]
Come on, simmer down
And treat me sweet and cool
At least by now you, you have learned
How to love a fool
[Chorus]
It's funny how things turn around
It's crazy but it's true
This place is empty, so empty
So empty without you
This place is empty, oh so empty
So empty without you
Oh No, Not You Again Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here you stand before me waiting to be kissed
You're a beauty, such a cutie, how could I resist?
It's been a month of Sundays since we last had spoke
So much water, you get dollars, I fell out of the boat
[Chorus]
Oh no, not you again, fucking up my life
It was bad the first time I can't stand it twice
Oh no, not you again, I can't stand the pace
Once bitten, twice shy, get me out of the the race
[Verse 2]
The setting's so romantic, love is in the air
All is perfect but I'm allergic to your business stares
You look so cool and tempting in your couture dress
You're addictive, as predicted, I'm nervous, I confess
[Chorus]
Oh no, not you again mashing up my life
It was bad the first time, yeah, you had me in a vice
Oh no, not you again, I hear you and I shout
It was bad the first time around when you turned me inside out
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Everybody's talking, showing up their wits
The moon is yellow but I'm like jello, staring down your tits
My mind flashes forward, I feel it flashing back
I still dreaming and I'm screaming, "Get me off the rack"
[Chorus]
Oh no, not you again, I can't stand the pain
I was burned the first time, yeah, I can't deal it again
Oh no, not you again messing up my life, yeah
Once bitten, twice shy, but I can't do it twice
[Outro]
Oh no, not you again, fucking up my life
It was bad first time around, I better take my own advice
Oh no, oh no, oh nooooo!
Dangerous Beauty Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In your high school photo, you looked so young and naive
Now I heard you got a nickname, "The Lady of the Leash"
Well I find you on a midnight shift
I bet you had your fair share of stiffs
There were onerous odors, I've got to admit
[Chorus]
Because you're a dangerous, dangerous, a dangerous beauty
It's so painfully plain to us you're doing your duty
[Verse 2]
Who you got there in that hood? You look so fancy in those photographs
With your rubber gloves on you're a favourite with the Chiefs of Staff
You're doing such a wonderful job
You're a natural at working with dogs
Keeping everyone awake at night with a touch of the prods
[Chorus]
Well you're a dangerous, dangerous, a dangerous beauty
Yeah, disdainfully, painfully a bit of booty, yeah
And you're a dangerous, dangerous, a dangerous beauty
Beauty
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Well you're a dangerous, dangerous, a dangerous beauty
If I was your captain, I'd put you soon to bed
Well you're a dangerous, dangerous, a dangerous beauty
[Outro]
What I say
Yeah everybody, beauty
Everybody now, yes
Are you one bad apple in a box?
Yeah, dangerous
Giving them electric shocks
I've seen the gloves coming off
Dangerous
If looks could be killing, I bet you shoot me now
Laugh, I Nearly Died Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been travelling but I don't know where
I've been missing you but you just don't care
And I've been wandering, I've seen Greece and Rome
Lost in the wilderness, so far from home
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I've been to Africa, looking for my soul
And I feel like an actor looking for a role
I've been in Arabia, I've seen a million stars
Been sipping champagne on the boulevards, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm so sick and tired
Trying to turn the tide, yeah
So I'll say my goodbye
Laugh, laugh
I nearly died
[Verse 2]
I've been down to India, but it froze my bones
I'm living for the city, but I'm all alone
I've been travelling, but I don't know where
I've been wandering, but I just don't care
[Chorus]
I hate to be denied
How you hurt my pride
I feel pushed aside
But laugh, laugh, laugh
I nearly died
[Post-Chorus]
Been travelling far and wide
Wonder who's going to be my guide
Been travelling far and wide
Wonder who's going to be my guide
[Verse 3]
Living in a fantasy but it's way too far
But this kind of loneliness is way too hard
I've been wandering, feeling all alone
I lost my direction and I lost my home, well
[Chorus]
I'm so sick and tired
Now I'm on the slide
Feeling so despised
When you laugh, laughed
I almost died
[Outro]
Been travelling far and wide (Oh, yeah)
Wonder who's going to be my guide (I hurt my pride, yeah)
Been travelling far and wide (I hurt my pride)
Wonder who's going to be my guide (You hurt my pride)
Been travelling far and wide
Wonder who's going to be my guide (Been travelin')
Been travelling far and wide (Yeah)
Wonder who's going to be my guide
Been travelling far and wide
Wonder who's going to be my guide
Been travelling far and wide (Oh)
Wonder who's going to be my guide (Gonna be my guide)
Been travelling far and wide (Oh, and wide)
Wonder who's going to be my guide (Everybody, everybody now yeah)
Been travelling far and wide
Sweet Neo Con Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You call yourself a Christian
I think that you're a hypocrite
You say you are a patriot
I think that you're a crock of shit
And listen now, the gasoline
I drink it every day
But it's getting very pricey
And who is going to pay
[Chorus]
How come you're so wrong?
My sweet neo con, yeah
[Verse 2]
It's liberty for all
'Cause democracy's our style
Unless you are against us
Then it's prison without trial
But one thing that is certain
Life is good at Haliburton
If you're really so astute
You should invest in Brown & Root, yeah
[Chorus]
How come you're so wrong?
My sweet neo con
If you turn out right
I'll eat my hat tonight
[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 3]
It's getting very scary
Yes, I'm frightened out of my wits
There's bombers in my bedroom
Yeah and it's giving me the shits
We must have loads more bases
To protect us from our foes
Who needs these foolish friendships?
We're going it alone
[Chorus]
How come you're so wrong?
My sweet neo con
Where's the money gone
In the Pentagon?
[Outro]
Yeah, well well
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, neo con
Look What the Cat Dragged In Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know that you like to go out drinking
And you love to have a good time
You came in when I was drinking coffee
Having breakfast 'round about nine
I won't interrogate you and I never will berate you
'Bout your lifestyle
But where you been? Lost weekend
[Pre-Chorus]
What's that look on your face?
You must have done the walk of shame
Your eyes are all red, get ready for bed
Your hair's all over the place
And look what the cat dragged in
Don't you call me your friend
Get out of my house with your dirty old mouse
Check yourself out again
[Chorus]
Look what the cat dragged in
Yeah, you're checking right out again
Yeah, look what the cat dragged in
Yeah, checking right out again
[Verse 2]
Looking at the Sunday papers, up with all the latest
It was so quiet (So quiet)
Checkin' what was going on in Syria and Lebanon
A bad fright (Bad fright)
Ain't goin' to criticize you and I hate to ostracize you
With a bad night
Where you been? Lost weekend
[Pre-Chorus]
You look like you're totally spaced
Your breath's got a horrible taste
You look like a leper, just Sergeant Pepper
Are you going to throw all over my face?
And look what the cat dragged in
Take it right out again
Get out of my house with your dirty old mouse
Take it right out again
[Chorus]
Look what the cat dragged in
Yeah, we're checking right out again
Yeah, look what the cat dragged in
Yeah, checking right out again
Yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Well, look what the cat dragged in
Yeah, never do that my friend
Well, look what the cat dragged in
Look what the cat, look what the cat, look what the cat dragged in
Driving Too Fast Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can follow the road to the mountain
Or the track leading down to the beach
You can go where you like, go left or go right
It's you in the driver's seat
But if the rain starts swamping your windscreen
And the lights don't piss through the night
And the truck's coming at you, just going to splash you
The highway's blinding bright
[Pre-Chorus]
You're going out of your brain, out of your mind
You're so deranged, you're going blind
[Chorus]
You're driving too fast
You went straight past the curve and you never go back, yeah
Driving too fast
The road was a blur and it all turned to black
Driving too fast
Hang on to the wheel, I think you're going to crash
[Verse 2]
You can see the freeway divided
It's a pity you can't take 'em both
One leads to the valley or down some blind alley
The other runs down to the coast
Too many roads lead to nowhere
But how they twist and they turn
And a dead end and a dusty old strip mall
Where your tires are all shredded and burned
[Pre-Chorus]
You're going out of your brain, out of your mind
Goin' insane, you're going blind, yeah
[Chorus]
You're driving too fast
You slip through the curve and you slam through the flat
Driving too fast
Now you never go back
Driving too fast
Yeah and it's all time to pass, yeah
Driving too fast
Hang on for your life, I think you're going to crash
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
You're going out of your brain, out of your mind, yeah
You're so arranged, you're going blind
[Chorus]
Driving too fast
Goin' straight past the turn, never go back
Driving too fast
You spin through the curve and you burn off the track
Driving too fast
You're running out of gas
Driving too fast
Hang on to the wheel, I think we're going to crash
[Outro]
Yeah
Driving too fast, yeah
