"Mohair Lockeroom Pin-Up Boys"

"Mohair Lockeroom Pin-Up Boys"


Big C, big H, mash Mary, name it
What a ride, what a ride
You got me dizzy with that bull whip
We clutched each other the walls closed in
Don't bust my chops like Gungadin

We're coming home now diggety dig
The old zippo bang is what it is
We got flip-flop rubber, gung-ho toys
The Mohair locker room pinup boys

Five years old, he loves the screen
Kissing with tongues and margarine

Fast and loose in just one thing
Fast and loose in everything
They sit around and laugh all day
Make paree and draw their pay

Pool's not in but the patio's dry
A shameful waste, we don't know why

I can lift weights, what the hell
My little girl just thinks I'm swell
No back-slapping daddy-o
Ran the caddy up to 9-0

"Montreal"

"Montreal"


Lay him down inside the car
Boston en route, not too far
Down another bleak highway
Soothes the morning pain away
What had passed the night before
Room 1206 on the floor
Beautiful, his Bardot
And though he's spoiled
She likes him so
He's just a joker flash and cheap
And not to fussy where he sleeps
Before he starts to complain
She wants him to be bad again
So the couple lying there
Teach each other how to swear
Could this be a dirty night?
It could if they're doing it right

"Mowhok"

"Mowhok"


London town 1730
women drunk, children dirty
they'd seen the pictures from afar
down in Gin Lane
over the bar

yo ho ho - Mowhok!
yo ho
yo ho ho - Mowhok!
yo ho aee yo ho ho hoh

here we are in the eighties
Mohican, proud and fair
goes to show that a fashion
can survive

so beware!

yo ho ho - Mowhok!
yo ho
yo ho ho - Mowhok!
yo ho aee yo ho ho hoh

ha ha hilla hey hallah hollo lo ho
Mowhok!
ha ha hilla hey hallah hollo lo ho
Dey hoh
ha ha hilla hey hallah hollo lo ho
Mowhok!
ha ha hilla hey hallah hollo lo ho...

"Navel To Neck"

"Navel To Neck"


Give me your hand here is mine
Better in the open
It's showtime let's call the tune

He's her baby boy
Navel to neck
Give me your mouth
I want to kiss you

Something deep inside me waits
You're giving up your daughters
But perfection is so dull

He's her baby boy
Navel to neck
Give me your mouth
I want to kiss you

That's the way the honey goes
Sweeter than a toy
From his tippy to his toes
He's her baby boy

That's the way the honey goes
Sweeter than a toy (hey, girl)
From his tippy to his toes
He's her baby boy (what did I say)

That's the way the honey goes
Sweeter than a toy
Come out to play, huh

Every inch of you I prize
Your body is a vision
And all the while look in your eyes

"Never Trust A Man (With Egg On His Face)"

"Never Trust A Man (With Egg On His Face)"


A man and a woman walking down the street
With a son and a daughter it was oh so sweet
When Mummy turned to Daddy and she said:
"My dear, write out your will because the end is near"

Then she pulled out the gun, I saw the sparks
Messed up the suit that he'd bought from Marks
Because

She'd heard the voices from outer space
She'd heard the voices from outer space
She'd heard the voices from outer space
Saying, "Never trust a man with egg on his face"

Three months later, Mrs B. stands
A smile on her face, blood on her hands
The kiddies got scared and ran home to bed
The headlines in the papers said that

She was the victim of an awful plan
Announced through the mouthpiece of a little green man
She'd heard the voices from outer space
Saying, "Never trust a man with egg on his face"
"Never trust a man with egg on his face"

La la

"Nine Plan Failed"

"Nine Plan Failed"


After nine years in the army
They took away his brain
They tattooed "defect" on his brow
And signed him up again

He killed ten thousand Germans
A hundred Japanese
A family of Hindus
And a lot of Portugese
Nine plan failed

I could never see the point
Of showing them you're boss
When they drag you through the city streets
And nail you to a cross

They took him to the office
They strapped him to the bed
They fastened lots of pretty wires
Securely to his head
They wheeled him down the corridor
Upon a metal trolley
Now he wears big spectacles
And he sings like Buddy Holly
Nine plan failed

I could never see the point
Of showing them you're boss
When they drag you through the city streets
And nail you to a cross

The world declared its armistice
And took away his guns
And now he satisfies himself
On piss-weak tea and buns
On piss-weak tea and buns
Oh oh at the disco

Rome is very pretty
And Rome is very grand
But the Pope lost his four fingers
When they gave this boy his hand to kiss
When they gave this boy his hand to kiss
It wasn't funny no

He wasn't very good at school
His highest grade was C
But he believed the managers
When they said: "you leave it all to me"
They gave him suits from Saville Row
The quality so fine
So now he sits in the desert wastes
Just waiting for the sign
Nine plan failed

"No Zap"

"No Zap"


You can hang me by the neck
Till I'm dead, dead, dead
Kiss my mouth until it's red, red, red
Now is the time honey, this is the place
The good and the bad guy face to face
Blood pressure up, sunlight down
Toughen up, toughen up, play tough.
Johnny can't program, sure enough
Put a leather in your cap, play tough
Sugar-boom, sugar-boom, that's the stuff
Comb your hair play tough
No zap.
You can hang me by the neck
Till I'm dead, dead, dead
Kiss my mouth until it's red, red, red
Don't play, don't sing, I don't hike
But me no buts buddy, riding my bike
Surf coming up Geronimo Joe
Toughen up, toughen up, let's go.
You can hang me by the neck
Till I'm dead, dead, dead
Kiss my mouth until it's red, red, red
Don't be a dunco, forget charts
Out of the wallet, into your hearts
Where it counts, in large amounts
Toughen up, toughen up, let's pounce.

"Well, step into my parlor"
Said the spider to the fly
"It's really very comfy
But wake up now it's time to die"

"Ohhh ... step into my parlor"
Said the spider to the fly
"It's really very comfy
But now it's time to die"

N-norman was quite nice
But he had this other side
He couldn't lie to Mother
'Cos Mother never lied
Norman

They say it's very healthy
To let our feeling go
But sometimes you can end up
97 feet below

"Ohhh ... step into my parlor"
Said the spider to the fly
"It's really very comfy
But now it's time to die"

N-norman was quite nice
But he had this other side
He couldn't lie to Mother
'Cos Mother never lied
Norman

When things start to happen
Much crazier than hell
Be careful when you stay
Down at the Bates Motel

"Ohhh ... step into my parlor"
Said the spider to the fly
"It's really very comfy
But now it's time to die"

N-norman was quite nice
But he had this other side
He couldn't lie to Mother
'Cos Mother never lied

"Ohhh ... step into my parlor"
Said the spider to the fly
"It's really very comfy
But now it's time to die"

N-norman was quite nice
But he had this other side
He couldn't lie to Mother
'Cos Mother never lied
Norman (the two of us)

"P.O.E."

"P.O.E."


Damn your eyes Mr. Khruschev
Don't go dropping bombs on here
'Cause if you start dropping bombs over here
We're gonna have to drop some bombs over there

Heard a lot of small talk
All about your doing
But we will be the last boys
Left standing in the ruins
Yes siree
Good-by-ee
To the twentieth century
Yipee-ya yipee-ya

Clamping on a Stetson
Activate the "go" code
Get me a citation
When I drop my little load
Yes siree
Good-by-ee
To the twentieth century
Yipee-ya yipee-ya

Pleasures of survival
Ain't so tough
Have a real good time in Vegas
With all that stuff
Yes siree
Good-by-ee
To the twentieth century
Yipee-ya yipee-ya

So different now, it's a whole new scene
The most beautiful girl I've ever seen
In a [?] in a corridor
When you get too hot, roll on to the floor

All different now, a whole new way
When she takes my hand, she takes my breath away
Exhausted bliss with him a vow
If you gotta go, don't do it now
Don't do it now, don't do it now
Don't do it now, don't do it now
Don't do it now, don't do it now

Our love is like a Phoenix
Rising from the ashes
Our love is like a Phoenix
Rising from the ashes
Our love is like a Phoenix
Rising from the ashes
Our love is like a Phoenix
Rising from the ashes
