2. She's got electric boots, a mohair suit
Y'know, I read it in a magazi-INE. :)









Your sister can't twist, but she can rock 'n' roll
She out-bucks the broncos at the rodeo-o-do
She's only 16 but it's plain to see
She can pull the wool over little old me
Your sister can't twist, but she can rock 'n' roll
Your sister can't twist but she got more soul than me

5. Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out,

(Hello, baby hello
Havent seen your face for a while
Have you quit doing time for me
Or are you still the same spoiled child

Hello, I said hello
Is this the only place you thought to go
Am I the only man you ever had
Or am I just the last surviving friend that you know

Harmony and me
Were pretty good company
Looking for an island
In our boat upon the sea
Harmony, gee I really love you
And I want to love you forever
And dream of the never, never, never leaving harmony

Hello, baby hello
Open up your heart and let your feelings flow
Youre not unlucky knowing me
Keeping the speed real slow
In any case I set my own pace
By stealing the show, say hello, hello)

6. My bulldog is barkin' in the back yard
Enough to raise a dead man from his grave
And I can't concentrate on what I'm doin'
Disturbance gonna crucify my days

And the days, they get longer and longer
And the nighttime is a time of little use
For I just get ugly and older
I get juiced on Mateus and just hang loose

And I get bombed for breakfast in the morning
I get bombed for dinner time and tea
I dress in rags, smell a lot and have a real good time
I'm a genuine example of a social disease

My landlady lives in a caravan
Well, that is, when she isn't in my arms
And it seems I pay the rent in human kindness
Though my liquor also helps to grease her palm

And the ladies are all gettin' wrinkles
And they're fallin' apart at the seams
While I just get high on tequila
And see visions of vineyards in my dreams

And I get bombed for breakfast in the morning
I get bombed for dinner time and tea
I dress in rags, smell a lot and have a heart of gold
I'm a genuine example of a social disease
I'm a genuine example of a social disease

7. He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
I've seen a lot of women who haven't had much luck
I've seen you looking like you've been run down by a truck
That ain't nice to say sometimes I guess I'm really hard
But I'm gonna put buckshots in your pants if you step into my yard

When I watch the police come by and move you on
Well I sometimes wonder what's beneath the mess you've become
Well you may have been a pioneer in the trade of women's wear
But all you got was a mop up job washing other people's stairs

I'm gonna tell the world, you're a dirty little girl
Someone grab that bitch by the ears
Rub her down scrub her back
And turn her inside out
`Cause I bet she hasn't had a bath in years

Here's my own belief about all the dirty girls
That you have to clean the oyster to find the pearl
And like rags that belong to you I belong to myself
So don't show up around here till your social worker's helped

8. I was gonna post that one
But I was afraid you'd take it personally. :D



Raised to be a lady by the Golden Rule
Alice was the spawn of a public school
With a double-barrel name in the back of her brain
And a simple case of Mummy-doesn't-love-me blues

Reality, it seems, was just a dream
She couldn't get it on with the boys on the scene
But what do you expect from a chick who's just 16?
And hey, hey, hey, you know what I mean

All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice, they say
Come over and see me
Come over and please me
Alice, it's my turn today

All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice, they say
If I give you my number
Will you promise to call me?
Wait till my husband's away

Poor little darling with a chip out of her heart
It's like acting in a movie when you got the wrong part
Getting your kicks in another girl's bed
And it was only last Tuesday they found you in the subway dead

And who could you call your friends down in Soho
One or two middle-aged dykes in a go-go
And what do you expect from a 16-year-old yo-yo?
And hey, hey, hey, oh, don't you know

All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice, they say
Come over and see me
Come over and please me
Alice, it's my turn today

All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice, they say
If I give you my number
Will you promise to call me?
Wait till my husband's away

10. If i would have taken the other one personally, how should I take
that one? :shrug: ;) :D

Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady
Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child

And when it rains the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing fit to burst upon each other

I can see you sitting eating apples in the evening
The fruit juice flowing slowly, slowly, slowly
Down the bronze of your body
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child

Oh if only I could nestle in the cradle of your cabin
My arms around your shoulders the windows wide and open
While the swallow and the sycamore are playing in the valley
Oh I miss you Amoreena like a king bee misses honey

Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady
Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child
