"Kiss The Drummer"

"Kiss The Drummer"


In for a penny in, for a pound
If she walks by you, you better turn around
She wants sparkle and she don't give a damn
As well be hung for
A sheep than a lamb

So be her Daddy
She hits back
Kiss the drummer
Rat-a-tat-tat

Got to learn to laugh at this
Laugh and enjoy herself
Got to learn to laugh at this
Laugh and enjoy herself
Got to learn to laugh at this
Laugh and enjoy herself
Got to learn to laugh at this
Miss Fierce kiss the drummer

Little by little, bit by bit
Love stood laughing at this locksmith
She may be wrong, and she may be right
But barking dogs they
Seldom bite

So be her Daddy
She hits back
Kiss the drummer
Rat-a-tat-tat

Got to learn to laugh at this
Laugh and enjoy herself
Got to learn to laugh at this
Laugh and enjoy herself
Got to learn to laugh at this
Laugh and enjoy herself
Got to learn to laugh at this
Miss Fierce kiss the drummer

In the panic and the traumas
Miss Fierce puts on her
Fierce legwarmers

When men think big
And by golly they do
They don't wanna go crying
Boo-hooing at you

When men think big
And by golly they do
They don't wanna go crying
Boo-hooing at you

"Libertine"

"Libertine"


A word from her is worth ten from me
Her main concern is honesty
She beat the selfishness right out of me
The wild eyed child
She's my libertine
My only books were women's looks
And the more I read, the less I said
She wanted to search inside me
To find this so-called purity
She acts the films that I can't see
The wild eyed child
She's my libertine
She showed me the slim chance I'd got
And all the friendships baby, that I had not
Be sure she has the guts of three
The wild eyed child
She's my libertine
I know a girl she's got a lust for danger
Thinks being tough makes her the Lone Ranger
But when the chips are down it's loving she craves
She's just another Aphrodite slave

"Los Rancheros"

"Los Rancheros"


Oi Oi Oi!
A few dollars more
They'll hang me high
But still me spirit
Will survive

There's money over there
But not for long
Soon my worries
Will be gone

Rancheros (Clint)
Rancheros (Eastwood)
Rancheros (Clint)
Rancheros

Rancheros (Clint)
Rancheros (Eastwood)
Rancheros (Clint)
Rancheros

And there's a bullet with my name on it

Time's-a-coming
When a new breed say
Welcome tomorrow
Instead of yesterday

My time's-a-coming
When those despised
Take shelter from the power
Of my Kiowa eyes

Rancheros (Clint)
Rancheros (Eastwood)
Rancheros (Clint)
Rancheros

Rancheros (Clint)
Rancheros (Eastwood)
Rancheros (Clint)
Rancheros

And there's a bullet with my name on it

Oi Oi Oi!

Time's a-comin'
When a new breed say
Welcome tomorrow
Instead of yesterday

My time's a-comin'
When those despised
Take shelter from the power
Of my Kiowa eyes

[CHORUS]

And there's a bullet with my name on it

(Ah)

Oy, oy, oy

"Made Of Money"

"Made Of Money"


You think that I'm made of money
You've got something coming honey
This ain't no land of milk and honey
My accountant thinks that's funny
Instead of trying to use your brains
You sit round and suck my veins
Your kind of rat belongs in drains
You're gonna beg around
You like all those big fancy cars
Trendy people and their wine bars
But your lying will leave it's scars
Get around, get on your horse
You think that I'm made of reddies
That makes me choke on my Shreddies
I may smile and act so sunny
But this boy is not your dummy
Marriages are made in heaven
So what the hell happened to mine?

"Making History"

"Making History"


The murder happy characters have such fun
They murder happy characters one by one
You want a second chance
Out you don't get one

And the good guys hate the bad guys
And the bad guys hate the good guys
And we call this making history
And we call this making history
And we call this making history
And we call this making history

The murder happy characters like to creep
They murder little children while they sleep
They leave you on the floor in a big red heap

And the good guys hate the bad guys
And the bad guys hate the good guys
And we call this making history
And we call this making history
And we call this making history
And we call this making history

The murder happy characters say they know
How to keep the crime rate way down low
"Just nip it in the bud so it can't grow"

And the bad guys hate the good guys
And the good guys hate the bad guys
And we call this making history

"Manners & Physique"

"Manners & Physique"


Pick your honey up never let her go
Say you want an answer the answer isn't no
Do it any style right across the floor
And when you feel exhausted
Then you know it's time for more
I love it when you tease
And better when you pose
But I can't kiss a lipstick
Or date a pile of clothes
You really got a bod
I saw it so I know
So why the sweats and baggy clothes
Like you don't have to show
Rebob the Bebop doin' it doggie style
I wanna see you sweat that would be unique
'Cos all that really matters is your
Manners and physique yeah
Manners and physique
Manners and physique
I wanna see you sweat
That would be unique
'Cos all that really matters is your
Manners and physique
Pick your honey up never let her go
Say you want an answer the answer isn't no
When you gonna stop
Crawling on your back
Treating daily workout
Like an aphrodisiac
Now you quit the drugs
And the messing around
But you be very careful
That you don't get musclebound
You've tuned up everything
Tighter than a drum
So tell me what's the point
If you don't share it with someone

"Marrying The Gunner's Daughter"

"Marrying The Gunner's Daughter"


There was a boy, a frightened boy
Grew up to be some kind of man
Lived in a wood, tried to be good
Unlike his bad old man

Found a scheme, learned to dream
Just to get through the days
Before long he grew so strong
He didn't care either way

He wanted death, but his last breath
They sentenced him to life
Anarchy and girl's bodies
Epiphany for life
(Nice...dream)

There was a man, a frightened man
Grew up to be some kind of boy (nice)
Ate scraps form people's laps
Made dream reality

He got to be a tough monkey
And look them in the eye
Death by fashion, strapped to a cannon
So keep your powder dry

Marrying the Gunner's Daughter
You know me, I go too far
Like a heifer to the slaughter
Here he comes, the Blueblack Hussar

Strapped to a gun ain't much fun
But it's all that he had left
Got a number one, just for fun
Started playing Russian roulette

He got to be a tough monkey
So look them in the eye
Death by fashion, strapped to a cannon
So keep your powder dry

Marrying the Gunner's Daughter
You know me, I go too far
Like a heifer to the slaughter
Here he comes, the Blueblack Hussar

Marrying the Gunner's Daughter
You know me, I go too far
Like a heifer to the slaughter
Here he comes, the Blueblack Hussar

He wanted death, but his last breath
They sentenced him to life
Anarchy and girl's bodies
Epiphany for life
Nice dream
Nice dream

Marrying the Gunner's Daughter
You know me, I go too far
Like a heifer to the slaughter
Here he comes, the Blueblack Hussar
Hussar

"Mile High Club"

"Mile High Club"


(Man and a woman)
747 or a VC10
Winter, summer who knows when?
Takeoff passion flyaway love
Mile High Club

It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
I never heard that noise before

Don't be treated like a pound
Let currencies go up and down
Mashed Potato, Rocksteady Rub
Mile High Club

It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
And I never heard that noise before

Never give up never say die
Ignore the fools when they cry
"If this thing fails - nothing at all!"
It won't fail

It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs

"Miss Thing"

"Miss Thing"


Miss Thing what you got to say?
We saw a honey just the other day
A wild cat, a loud shirt
Thinking up stuff just to different
Wa-la-ba-loomba
Wa-la-ba-loomba
Wa-la-ba-loomba
Wa-la-ba-loom
She was the only one to love him up right
Miss Thing - where you gonna go?
You ever seen a man jump a piano?
Guttertalk, knock 'em dead
Pompadour six inches above his head
Wa-la-ba-loomba.... [etc.]
Miss Thing please tell me why
He says "child" when he meets another guy
Sweaty staggering out of the swamp
Freaky-deak dancing, pumping that pomp
Wa-la-ba-loomba.... [etc.]
Turn it up
Have your fill
Up in the treble
A voice like a power drill.
