You Better You Bet (Face Dances, 1981)
You better you better you bet.
I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes. I sometimes feel I should just go home but I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets
I love to hear you say my name especially when you say yes I got your body right now on my mind but I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T-Rex To the sound of old T-Rex and Who's Next Chorus:
When I say I love you you say you better You better you better you bet When I say I need you you say you better You better you better you bet You better bet your life Or love will cut you like a knife
I want those feeble minded axes overthrown I'm not into your passport picture I just like your nose You welcome me with open arms and open legs I know only fools have needs but this one never begs
I don't really mind how much you love me Ooh, a little is alright When you say come over and spend the night Tonight Tonight
I lay on the bed with you We could make some book of records Your dog keeps licking my nose And chewing up all those letters Saying "you better"
You better bet your life
You better love me, all the time now You better shove me back into line now You better love me, all the time now You better shove me back into line now.
I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa But knowing I'm so eager to fight can't make letting me in any easier
I know I been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy sometime But my body feels so good and I still sing a razor line everytime.
And when it comes to all night living I know what I'm giving I've got it all down to a tee And it's free.
The Quiet One (Face Dances, 1981)
Everybody calls me the quiet one You can see but you can't hear me Everybody calls me the quiet one You can try but you can't get near me I ain't never had the gift of gab But I can't talk with my eyes When words fail me you won't nail me My eyes can tell you lies
Still waters run deep so be careful I don't drown you You've got nothing to hear I've got nothing to say Sticks and stones may break your bones But names can never down you It only takes two words to blow you away
Everybody calls me the quiet one But you just don't understand You can't listen you won't hear me With your head stuck in the sand I ain't never had time for words that don't rhyme My headd is in a cloud I ain't quiet - everybody else is too loud
Still waters run deep so be careful I don't drown you You've got nothing to hear I've got nothing to say Sticks and stones may break my bones But names can never down you It only takes two words to blow you away.

One Life's Enoug (It's Hard, 1982)
There's a scene Indelible, it hangs before my eyes In our teens, incredibly Together with no ties.

Eminence Front (Eminence Front, 1982)
The sun shines And people forget The spray flies as the speedboat glides And people forget Forget they're hiding The girls smile And people forget The snow packs as the skier tracks And people forget Forget they're hiding.
Behind an eminence front Eminence front - It's a put on.
Come on join the party Dress to kill Won't you come and join the party Dress to kill.
The drinks flow People forget That big wheel spins, the hair thins People forget Forget they're hiding The news slows People forget The shares crash, hopes are dashed People forget Forget they're hiding.
Behind an eminence front Eminence front - it's a put on Come on join the party Dress to Come on join the party Dress to Come on join the party Dress to Come on join the party Dress to kill Dress yourself, dressed to kill.
Long Live Rock (Odds & Sods, 1974)
Down at the Astoria the scene was changing, Bingo and rock were pushing out X-rating, We were the first band to vomit in the bar, And find the distance to the stage too far, Meanwhile it's getting late at ten o'clock, Rock is dead they say, Long live rock.
Long live rock, I need it every night, Long live rock, come on and join the line, Long live rock, be it dead or alive.
People walk in sideways pretending that they're leaving, We put on our makeup and work out all the lead-ins, Jack is in the alley selling tickets made in Hong Kong, Promoter's in the pay box wondering where the band's gone, Back in the pub the governor stops the clock, Rock is dead, they say, Long live rock.
Long live rock, I need it every night, Long live rock, come on and join the line, Long live rock, be it dead or alive.
Landslide, rocks are falling, Falling down 'round our very heads, We tried but you were yawning, Look again, rock is dead, rock is dead, rock is dead.
The place is really jumping to the high-watt amps, 'Til a 20-inch cymbal fell and cut the lamps, In the blackout they dance right into the aisle, And as the doors fly open even the promoter smiles, Someone takes his pants off and the rafters knock, Rock is dead, they say, Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock.
Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock, Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock.
Long live rock, I need it every night, Long live rock, come on and join the line, Long live rock, be it dead or alive. |
