1. Vice Versa
She was a real two timer,
She knew I'd never leave,
She thought that she could make it,
I could never believe,
She looked so healthy,
And she looked so clean,
But when she got to bite you,
Was she mean.
Vice Versa
She could roll you over,
And make you blind,
She could say things to astound,
The dirtiest mind,
She looked so healthy,
And she looked so clean,
But when she got to bite you,
Was she mean.
2. Earth Mother
You grabbed me and whipped me and stretched me
Raw lines were crossed on my back
Teasing and taunting me, twisting my words
Eyes turning red fade to black
Earth Mother, help me
Bury me down there
Earth Mother, can't you see
Suck my breath of air
Snake like you kissed me and chained me
Treachery barred my escape
Surrender to destiny, death for all time
Eternal light, losing faith
3. Losing My Grip
4. Take It Like A Man
Leading me on, you've been a bad, bad boy,
Betcha since you've been a kid you've been a mama's toy
I'm gonna teach you, you're going to learn,
Don't fool with me, I'm gonna make you burn
Little boy blue, take off your shoe,
Just come a little closer so my aim is true
I don't wanna do it gonna make you hop,
It's hurting me, is it hurting you?
Take it like a man, gonna do it all I can
Take it like a man, gonna do it all I can
Touch of the lash, you gotta discipline rash,
Six of the best bust, my leather strap,
I’m the master and you’re the slave,
Bend over son, your gonna be saved.
5. Once Bitten
You don't move me
you don't stir me
You only cheat me
And I ain't gonna run around for you
You've got a bad reputation, I don't give a damn
You've got a bad reputation, I'm not a proud man
You've got a bad reputation, You've got a bad reputation
I've been bitten again, twice shy
I've been bitten again, twice shy
I've been bitten again, twice shy
I've been bitten again, twice shy
Always teasing at the end of the phone
I feel like a dog without a bone
You're talking dirty but I'm on my own
Coming on the end of the phone
6. Go To Hell
Get out, you're not my kind
Sleazy little lizzy thought you'd got another find
Yes I know you're big inside
Loud and proud, I know you're legs are open wide
Life can be so unkind
Bye, bye honey, lovely dovey, took you from behind
Maybe it's just as well
I took your body, blew your mind and told you Go to hell!
Filthy little female, who you married to?
Dirty little lady, I'm creeping up on you
Nice boy what you don't see
Your out of luck, you'll get no truck with me
Lousy little screamer played outside the rules
Took me for a dreamer but you were just a fool
Pretty male plaything made you feel alright
Took you for your money, now I'm off into the night
7. Hard Times
Gotta bar lean I'm looking mean,
I need a drink I've gotta drink to think,
You say I'm drunk but that's me in the mirror,
Looking for a fight who says ‘.................‘
Come and hit me (falling to the ground)
Knee me in the groin (won't make a sound)
Head over heels for a fight with you,
I'm gonna teach you a trick or two.
You know, in my life, I've been a fighting man,
Hard times, hit me, now I'm going down,
You know, in my life, I've been a fighting man,
Hard times, hit me, now I'm going
Now I'm going down.
Back to the wall and out for the count
Rock and reel, do you know how I feel?
Swim in swinging I'm blind as an eel
Don't you push ‘cos I'm coming back,
You come and hit me (falling to the ground)
You knee me in the groin won't make a sound,
Head over heels for a fight with you,
I'm gonna teach you a trick or two.
8. Nice Girl
Prawling round with beady eyes
Mister undercover
Late night brawls, street lights call
He don't need a lover
Misunderstood by womanhood
Mortgage is a millstone
Think of lies and alibis to cover up at home
Are you alright girl, for tonight girl
Just give a little. I'll give a lot
Are you a nice girl, Just-the-type girl
You've got the drug and I need a shot
Seedy hotels, crooked motels
Short-time letch, a special
Twilight-life as a ten minute wife
All so artificial
Rejected maligned by all mankind
Hypocrictic bullshit
Tell me who's rich, Now who's the bitch
Keep that red light lit
When the men come to town
When they're looking in the bars
and they're crawling in the cars
and they lay they're money down
When the men come to play
When their business day was done and they're looking for some fun
You take their money and you blow them away
9. Too Close To Rock
We had you trained, to be so classical
And you learned to play the guitar at school,
But now we've caught you, you've been playing the fool,
We don't think your musical taste is cool.
Too close to rock and roll,
I paid for the teacher so I own your soul.
Move out of the house, you can't use the car,
You spend your lectures just drinking in the college bar,
You don't wanna get a job, you won't get far
Pretty soon you're gonna come home gonna need your Ma and Pa
Too close to rock and roll,
I paid for the teacher so I own your soul.
Too close to
Too close to
Too close to
Rock and roll
10. Walking Out On You
Walking out on you
Walking out on you
Easy Chairs, and an easy life
That's what I want from you,
Just one rich bitch, for an easy wife,
Don't wanna do nothing new.
Loving you, came so easily,
When you laid your money down,
Wouldn't bite the hand, that was, feeding me,
Until you'd pay for my crown.
Living free, came so easily,
When you laid your body down,
I led the way, and you, gave to me
Everything you ever had.
Walking out on you
Walking out on you
