Lyrics:
Well… Lucifer and Jesus took the night off
and wound up at the 12 Bar down on old Denmark Street.
They put money on the counter, said, ‘hey make the music louder,
There’s girl up on that bandstand we’re both dying to meet.’
Standing tall and pale beneath a dim blue light
was a girl behind a black veil with a Gretsch guitar
Her songs were torn and broken, her delivery gin soaken.
And after every tune she dragged a Cuban cigar.
Well J.C said to Louis ‘Get the hell on out my face!
Dad knows I saw her first, so you be gettin’ off her case.’
Lucifer went barmy, so he raised his evil army.
Holy war ensued and laid the universe to waste.
But in the end, it all came down to just them two,
Still a kickin’ and a gougin’ in that Soho joint.
Jesus fell defeated but he pulled a blade and cheated.
Then knew that devil ragged to accelerate his point.
From Lucifer’s red belly was a hellcat spawned.
after six hundred and sixty-six long days stood and fell.
She lit up that big cigar; hit a chord on that old guitar
then pulled a thirty-eight and blew both daddies all to hell.

Well I’m watchin’ a grey squirrel leap and prance,
And watchin’ a mocking bird’s mating dance.
Morning cigarette and a cup of joe
And thinkin’ ‘bout every bit of last night’s show.
Pickin’ up junior from Grandma’s place,
I watch him light up when he sees my face.
Then back to the club is where I go
To pick up the gear from last night’s show.
If you wanna know about last night’s show,
Just ask the kids that love the Rock N’ Roll.
By this afternoon, we’ll be on the road.
Headin’ out of town, to play tomorrow’s last night’s show.
Bloody Mary please and a tall glass of water,
Eight ibuprofen ought to get me started.
Forgot to pay my tab when it was time to go but,
They won’t hold me to it after last night’s show.
If you wanna know, About the Rock N’ Roll,
Just ask the kids from last night’s show,
By this afternoon, we’ll be on the road,
Headin’ outta town to play tomorrow’s last night’s show.

Lyrics:
Revving an engine moving fast,
Driving crazy, bugs and dust
Speed and Death but you can't stop it
Everything for my Hot Rod Rocket!
All you squares, step aside
All I care's my crazy ride
You can watch, but you can't stop it
Everything's for my Hot Rod Rocket!
Your first spin is your sweet dream
Freedom, Power - thats' the thing
Show the world you're not just talking
Everything's for my Hot Rod Rocket
My Beauty Queen she just got crowned
she's so sweet, she's oh so hot!
But sorry chicks, all from my pocket
Goes straight to my Hot Rod Rocket!
Life's a space behind the wheel
All your dreams are made of steel
Carbs and Pipes, Pinstripes and Chopping
Everything for my Hot Rod Rocket!
Laying down that crazy sound
Get it the wind, get off the ground
Hot Rod Hayride is my doping
Everything for my Hot Rod Rocket!...X4

LYRICS:
And I wanted to see your face one last time
Red roses in my hand as I stand over your fresh grave
I know you're gone, I know it's true
I never said that I love you
I never said that I love you

Lyrics:
Wake up in the morning with an achin' head
Last thing I remember I was seeing road
Well there just ain't no telling what evil thing I'll do
When I'm drinking that corn liquor the devil's on the loose
(The devil's on the loose)
Need to find me a good woman to stand right by my side
Well bright light nights and drinking make a lonesome heart like mine
Someday I'll quit my rambling and low down tramping ways
When I'm drinking that corn liquor better stay out of my way
(Better stay out of his way)
Walking through the graveyard see it written in the stones
Good bad and in between they rest their weary bone
I've sat and watched the bottle take a strong man to his grave
When that bottle gets its grip there's no getting away
(No getting away)
When you see me in the evening you don't need to ask
Know my eyes are pointed to the bottom of a glass
You can try and stop me but you know it ain't no use
When I'm drinking that corn liquor the devil's on the loose
(The devil's on the loose)

LYRICS:
I don't wanna know about those other gals you've been with
(I'm the one for you)
I don't wanna know about those other gals you've been with
(I'm the one for you)
Did she walk the mile?
Did she make you smile?
Did she want romance?
Did she like to dance?
Could she sing a song,
and go all night long? ….NO
Cause I'm the one for you
I don't wanna know about those other guys you've been with
(I'm the one for you)
I don't wanna know about those other guys you've been with
(I'm the one for you)
Did he hold the door?
Did you beg for more?
Was he in a band?
Did he hold your hand?
Did he like to smoke?
Could he tell a joke?…..NO
Cause I'm the one for you
I don't wanna know about those other ones you've been with
(I'm the one for you)
I don't wanna know about those other ones you've been with
(I'm the one for you)
Did they make you swoon?
Could they keep a tune?
Did they laugh out loud?
Did they make you proud?
Did the fit the glove?
Did you fall in love?…..NO
Cause I'm the one for you!

LYRICS:
Ten Years Dead
I’m not quite sure what I see in you
Maybe it’s something ‘bout your pale green hue
Or is it the way that you walk so slow
With your arms outstretched baby I don’t know.
Your eyes are bloodshot and your hair is a mess
Eating brains is what ya do best
You walk through the streets late at night
And I can’t seem to put up much of a fight
Ten years dead but ya still treat me mean
You’re my zombie lover, my zombie queen
Ladders in your stockings and a tear in your dress
I look at you and don’t care less
People think that you’re real mean
But I knew you before you were green.
Ten years dead and ya still treat me mean
You’re my zombie lover, my zombie queen.

LYRICS:
There's no dancing
There's no wreck
There's no buddy to hold up your back
The ballroom's empty, but the band's gonna play
Cause we know - this scene is dismay
The music is dead
‘Cause of the people like you
A meter long quiff is not my point of view
You’re strong ‘cause you're fashion, my strength is my way -
Killing tradition, causing dismay
You've come to the show
You'd better show off
You either be quick or you'd better buzz off
We don't gather up to be sitting ol' daddies
You'd better butt in or join your ladies.

LYRICS:
Woke up dead, fumbled in the grass through the bitey bugs, through the broken glass. On an aching back staring at the sun, throat on fire, loaded like a gun.
Drank the bottle dry then like before pulled out the cork, somehow there'll be more. Some for the rich, some for the poor.
Bad Medicine, kill and cure.
Sitting up straight, nose starts to bleed. Staring at the label, nothing there to read. Measure up the dosage, think you got it right. Add another measure. Double it for spite.
Burns like acid, fumes melt the eyes, gives you rigor mortis, doesn't stop the lies. Hallucinating stops, eardrums explode.
Bad Medicine, one for the road.
Speak a whole new language, need it now because I walked another day back to where I was.
Anyone try the treatment? Anyone try the pill? Why this medication? Were we ever ill?
Mixing up the potion, seeing lots of snakes. Use it like a lotion if you can stop the shakes.
Hang on to your whiskers, hang on to your hide.
Bad Medicine, open wide.

LYRICS:
Packing tape can’t suffocate his voice from memories
nor chase his ghost away from this room she never leaves
but it’s not a home - it’s part museum and part shrine
a roadblock is all he’s left behind
and everybody tells her that, she’s gotta move on
sun faded photographs from golden summer days
boxes of letters from a devoted fiance
recall a time when nothing could bring her to her knees
and grief was only make believe
and everybody tells her that, she’s gotta move on
but in her prime she used to dance along the cracks of broken dreams
so dangerous yet ever so serene
objects of veneration honor all regrets
from one night in Riverside, she swears she caused the wreck
and like twin paper lanterns abandoned to the rain
her eyes just never shine the same
and everybody tells her that, she’s gotta move on

LYRICS:
She’s taken a beating, She taken them all
There nothing I can do that she ain’t seen before
She doesn’t get uptight if we make a mess
I’ll tell you she never will fail to impress
A little rust on the outside
but upholstery is fine
She is beat all to hell
But she’s all mine
If I had model straight off of the floor
I’d worry I’d ding her straight out of the door
A new make all slender and shiny and chrome
Don’t do it for me when I’ve got her at home
A little rust on the outside
but upholstery is fine
She is beat all to hell
But she’s all mine
She’s seen some good times
She’s seen the bad
Sometimes mistreated
Sometimes been had
A little rust on the outside
but upholstery is fine
She is beat all to hell
But she’s all mine
I didn’t always take the care that I should
Didn’t always pay attention underneath the hood
But she has stuck with me through fat times and lean
Which is more than I could say for some trailer queen
A little rust on the outside
but upholstery is fine
She is beat all to hell
But she’s all mine
She’s seen some good times
She’s seen the bad
Sometimes mistreated
Sometimes been had
A little rust on the outside
but upholstery is fine
She is beat all to hell
But she’s all mine

LYRICS:
I’ve got an aching in my bones
And I’m feeling so alone
On nights like these, I need the company
Of a man I can call my own
I’ve been waiting so long for you to come along
But there’s no knocking at my door
I need a guarantee that in the end you’ll see
You’re the man I’ve been waiting for
Boy don’t you walk away oh
I want a rockin’ man (rockin’ man)
I want a rockin’ man (rockin’ man)
When the nights are cold and my defences are low
I want a rockin’ man (rockin’ man)
I wanna feel a little shiver running down my spine
Boy don’t you want to be a man of mine
I want a rockin’ man (rockin’ man)
I want a rockin’ man (rockin’ man)
Why don’t you read my lips
They’re begging for your kiss
The time is right and by the end of the night
You’ll be helpless to resist
I want to sink my teeth in to something sweet
Boy there ain’t no sweeter than you
Oh boy the way you move, I know I just can’t lose
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
Let me lead you astray, oh
Chorus
I’ve got an aching in my bones
And I’m feeling so alone
On nights like these, I need the company
Of a man I can call my own
I’ve been waiting so long for you to come along
But there’s no knocking at my door
I need a guarantee that in the end you’ll see
You’re the man I’ve been waiting for
Boy don’t you walk away oh
Chorus

LYRICS:
She looked so innocently into the camera
She vamped across the studio in stockings and a bra
Betty was a rebel but now she is a star
Black Bang Bettie, Black Bang Bettie Page was all the rage
Black Bang Bettie Page
Leopard skin and panther moves put Bettie in demand
The girl next door did so much more than even she had planned
The whip, the corsets nip, but then you do it for the fans
Black Bang Bettie, Black Bang Bettie Page was all the rage
Black Bang Bettie Page
Shake it, shake it, Bettie, Irving Claw would say
Act just like a tiger, now a prisoner, a maid
She’d looked surprised and roll her eyes and that’s how she got paid!
Black Bang Bettie, Black Bang Bettie Page was all the rage
Black Bang Bettie Page
