"Vince Taylor"

"Vince Taylor"


Johnny looked back
You know he never looked back
The whole world was his stage
He never acted his age

A girl we call French Valerie
Gave a gold plate chain to me
Asked her who had given it her
An old flame called Vince Taylor

I nearly done a Vince Taylor

Oh, Johnny looked back
You know he never looked back
Leather and chains, so damned vain
Never seen his like again
Must have left his mark on me
Even liked by Morrissey

Johnny looked back
You know he never looked back

Leather and chains
The whole world was his stage
He never acted his age

A girl we call French Valerie
Gave a gold plate chain to me
Asked her who had given it her
An old flame called Vince Taylor

Leather and chains
Goddamn vain
We'll never see his like again

Johnny looked back
You know he never looked back
The whole world was his stage
He never acted his age

A girl called French Valerie
Gave a gold plate chain to me
Asked her who had given it her
An old flame named Vince Taylor

I nearly done a Vince Taylor
I nearly done a Vince Taylor
I nearly done a Vince Taylor
I nearly done a Vince Taylor
I nearly done a Vince Taylor
I nearly done a Vince Taylor

"Vive Le Rock"

"Vive Le Rock"


Bang bang you're dead
Did not, did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you

Bang bang you're dead
Did not, did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you

I try to tell you but you just don't understand
You've got my entire life in your hands
Vive le rock, vive le rock
Oh well, you don't know what you're missing
'Cos you don't know what you got

And if the enemy don't see it your way
Be smart, play dead, live to fight a new day
And vive le rock, vive le rock
Oh well you don't know what you're missing
'Cos you don't know what you got

Vive le rock, vive le rock
Vive le rock

If this is it then I'm afraid it's not enough
Here's Johnny and he's calling your bluff
Vive le rock, vive le rock
Oh well you don't know what you're doing
'Cos you don't know what is what

Vive le rock, vive le rock
(Look out! rockers going Starwars!)

Bang bang you're dead
Did not, did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you

Bang bang you're dead
Did not, did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you

You're scratching records but you won't be scratching mine
Don't give me chish-chash in rinky-dink time
Just vive le rock, vive le rock
Well I've been where I was going
And it's not Tom of Finland

Vive le rock, vive le rock
Vive le rock

Bang bang you're dead
Did not, did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you

Look Ma, I'm on top of the world

"Vivienne's Tears"

"Vivienne's Tears"


I met Vivienne 30 years ago
She was walking down Kings Road
She had beautiful head, beautiful legs,
Beautiful legs

A cup of coffee in Beaufort Street
Don't know me from Adam
Because Vivienne's tears flood everywhere
She can make your garden grow
Vivienne's tears flow everywhere
She can make your garden, garden, garden grow

I met Vivienne at the Vortex Club
I was wasted after the show
She had beautiful legs, beautiful eyes,
Beautiful thighs

You shouldn't be a singer Adam, oh dear me no
You shouldn't sing at all
Should I have taken your advice?
It wasn't very nice

Well you were very funny from the first
With your garlic cure for thrush
Living on the planet, Vivienne,
Gave me the bums rush

Because Vivienne's tears flood everywhere
She can make your garden grow
Vivienne's tears flow everywhere
She can make your garden, garden, garden grow

Buy at the sound of trumpets, sell when there's
Blood on the streets

"Whip In My Valise"

"Whip In My Valise"


When I met you you were just sixteen
Pulling the wings off flies
When an old lady got hit by a truck
I saw the wicked gleam in your eyes

Your sadistic suits my masochistic
And there's a whip in my valise on yeah

Who taught you the torture?
Who taught ya?
Who taught you the torture?
Who taught ya?
Who taught you the torture?
Who taught ya?
Who taught ya?
Who taught ya?
Who taught you?

Describe the special punishment room
Over my garage,
There's a whipping post, a vertical beam
You have to be in charge

I paid a packet
For a new straight jacket
There's a whip in my valise oh yeah

Who taught you the torture?
Who taught ya?
Who taught you the torture?
Who taught ya?
Who taught you the torture?
Who taught ya?
Who taught ya?
Who taught ya?
Who taught you?

You put my head into the stocks
And then you went to choose a cane
But hey, your cat has got nine tails
You like to leave me lame

I can't thank her, my Sunday Spanker
There's a whip in my valise oh yeah

Who taught you the torture?
Who taught ya?
Who taught you the torture?
Who taught ya?
Who taught you the torture?
Who taught ya?
Who taught ya?
Who taught ya?
Who taught you?

"Who's A Goofy Bunny?"

"Who's A Goofy Bunny?"


One word from him is worth ten from me
A student of adversity
He beat indulgence right out of me
That wild eyed child from Tin Pan Alley
Ssshhh...

He wanted to search inside me
To find this oh so, oh so cool purity
He showed me the films I just can't see
The wild eyed child of Tin Pan Alley, yeah

Who's a goofy bunny, who's a goofy bunny then?
Who's a goofy bunny, who's a goofy bunny then?

He showed my the slim chance I'd got
And all the friendships that I had not
Be sure he has the guts of three
The wild eyed child of Tin Pan Alley, yeah

Who's a goofy bunny, who's a goofy bunny then?

"Why Do Girls Love Horses"


Why?
Tell me why?
Oh why?
Do girls love horses?
Why?
Oh why?
Tell me why?
Do girls love horses?

Is it 'cos they're round?
Or they're six feet off the ground?
Is it because they're on top?
Or the clippety clop?

Oh why?
Tell me why?
Do girls love horses?
Why?

"Woman Love Run Through Me"

"Woman Love Run Through Me"


So glad you could make it
So glad you were here
And if you never lied to me
You have nothing to fear

I don't care where you're going
I don't care where you went
Because I think we've got a case of
My last will and testament

So tell me that you love me
Tell me that you care
I don't wanna read it
In Vanity Fair

Let's make this real simple,
Let's clear away the fog
Because I think we've got a case here of
The tail wagging the dog, ohhhh

Shut up, shut up
Oooh...
Shut up, shut up

Just let your love run through me
Just let your love run through
Just let your love run through me
Here's what you've got to do

Take my arms
Take my legs
Take the rest
Wrap around it, woman

So tell me that you love me
Tell me that you care

Now here's the deal (here's the deal)

It took me 9 months to get older
For all my apparent sins
It took me 9 months to get out of it
The rest of my life trying to get back in, ahaha

Truth is not a strong point
Truth is your offense
So, if you wanna talk to me
Stop using the past-tense

I'm sick of all your problems
I'm sick of your bad luck
So if we ever meet again
Then I suggest that you should duck, ohhhh

Shut up, shut up
Just shut up, you better shut up
Shut up, shut up

"Won't Take That Talk"

"Won't Take That Talk"


I wont take that talk from no one
I wont take that talk from no one
Inside it makes you ill
And the pity of it all you're fighting,
You don't see it anymore you're fighting
A size 12 fight in a size 10 war
I said I'd never forget you
And I didn't and I never will
Have a dance, meet a girl you dig
Acting like the second coming
Oh words are only words
Said another way
Got to stop treating people
Like they have no feelings
Stop treating people
Like they have no meaning
I wont take that talk from no one
I wont take that talk from no one
Inside it makes you ill
Soft as a mother's love
Her hands were cool and graceful
And you'll get no complaints from me
I said I'd never forget you
And I didn't and I never will
Have a dance, meet a girl you dig
Acting like the second coming
Oh words are only words
So I tell myself
Got to stop treating people
Like they have no feelings
Stop treating people
Like they have no meaning
I wont take that talk from no one
I wont take that talk from no one
Inside it makes you ill

Inside it makes you ill
Soft as a mother's love
Her hands were cool and graceful

Acting like the second coming
Oh words are only words
Said another way

"Yin And Yang"

"Yin And Yang"


I got Utah dust
Inside my boots
Peroxide
Covering my roots
Know what it's like to love
And like to be loved
I tell you it's such a thrilling thing

That's just the Yin and the Yang of it
Sweet China went to dust for the want of it
Call it Zen or call it Buddah
Inner peace or Heavy Banana
That's just the Yin and the Yang of it
Sweet China swam in blood for the need of it
So don't you ask me to stop wanting
Don't ask me to stop needing it
It's just the Yin and the Yang of it

Call it Zen or call it Buddah
Inner peace or Heavy Banana
That's just the Yin and the Yang of it
It's got some words and a beat to it
Don't you ask me to stop wanting it
Don't ask me to stop needing it
It's just the Yin and the Yang of it

Call it Zen or call it Buddah
Inner peace or Heavy Banana
That's just the Yin and the Yang of it

In from the cold
Show me ecstasy
Just let the tears
Roll on out of me
Know what it's like to love
And like to be loved
I tell you it's such a thrilling thing
That's just the Yin and the Yang of it

That's just the Yin and the Yang of it
That's just the Yi-
