Young Lust

Lyrics

Young Lust, happy just to be in lust
Never have to eat no dust
Everybody's talkin' 'bout

Young Lust, you're dying and you're screamin' inside
Oh, you're guilty way before you've been tried
And it's crazy but you're diggin' it
Ooohh

Young Lust, you feel it in the summertime blues
Oh, it's easy when there's nothing to lose
An' baby, you be missin' out

Young Lust, sometimes you need it so bad
It's enough to drive a young girl mad
And so what you gonna do about it

Yeah, yeah, a little bit of nasty
Ya look a little sleazy
But don't get any on you
Young Lust, better keep your daughter inside
Or she's gonna get a dose of my pride
Ya, everybody's talks about it

Young Lust, once you had it you can never go back
Don't ya ever let 'em give you no slack
When you're streaking down the alley way

Yeah, yeah, Checkin' out the ladies who didnt bring their boyfriends
Who love to get in trouble
I got to say, I'll se you later
Meet me in the elevator

Always gettin' stronger
Never gettin' weaker
My love is gettin' longer
I'll keep it in my sneaker

Never keep a secret
Never feelin' guilty
Oh, never gettin' lonely
Never gettin' no peace
Hidin' from the police

Sneakin' out the back way
Sneakin' down the alley way
Gotta do it my way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Do it in the sunshine
Hangin' from the clothes line
Find another tree to climb

Young Lust, there's no time for lovin'
Young Lust, uh, don't need on in the oven
Young Lust, I'm a pushin' and a shovin' it
Yeah

Young Lust, c'mon now I just can't wait

Everybody body's doin' it
Yeah

Young Lust, honey now ain't it a bitch
Sometimes you gotta scratch that itch
So wacha gonna do about it

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.....

F.I.N.E.

Lyrics

Hot wax drippin'
Honey what do you say
I got a brand new record
That I gotta play
She said not now boy
But I did anyway
and I'm ready, so ready
Lip smackin' paddy wackin'
walkin' the street
I got a rag top chevy
now I'm back on my feet
I get an EMHO woody
when I sit in the seat
cause I'm ready, so ready

I got a girlfriend with the hoochy-coochy eyes
cause in the pink she look so fine
She got the cracker jack now all I wants the prize
YEAH

I know these hookers down on 42nd street, but
ill-gotten booty's not my style
I'll take a rain check 'til I get back on my feet
YEAH

'Cause I'm
Alright
Your momma says I'm
Alright
Your daddy says I'm
Alright
and my old lady says I'm
Alright

Whip crackin' floozy
way outta control

in her jelly roll
I got the right key baby
but the wrong keyhole
and I'm ready, so ready

I'm a red hot pistol
and I'm ready to fight
I'm a 38 special
on a Saturday night
I'm gonna kiss your boo-boo honey
make it alright
'cause I'm ready, so ready

I got a cruiser with a bimbo on the dash
it kinda keeps my ass in line
one little french kiss honey that's my kinda trash

Everything about you is so f-i-n-e- FINE
Let's put our clothes back on
and by the way girl
What's your name again?

But I'm
Alright

But I'm ready, so ready

I shove my tongue
right between your cheeks
I haven't made love now
for twenty-five weeks
I hear that your so tight
your lovin' squeaks
and I'm ready, so ready
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH

Going Down / Love In an Elevator

Lyrics

Workin' like a dog for the boss man
Workin' for the company I'm bettin' on the dice I'm tossin' I'm gonna have a fantasy

But where am I gonna look?
They tell me that love is blind
I really need a girl like an open book
To read between the lines

Love In An Elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love In An Elevator
Lovin' it up till I hit the ground

Jackie's in the elevator
Lingerie second floor
She said 'can I see you later
And love you just a little more?'

I kinda hope we get stuck
Nobody gets out alive
She said 'I'll show you how to fax
In the mailroom, honey
And have you home by five'

Love In An Elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love In An Elevator
Lovin' it up till I hit the ground

In the air, in the air, honey one more time
Now it ain't fair
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm goin' down

Love in an elevator
Goin' down

Love In An Elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love In An Elevator
Livin' it up till I hit the ground

Gonna be a penthouse pauper
Gonna be a millionare
I'm gonna be a real fast talker
And have me a love affair

Gotta get my timin' right
It's a test that I gotta pass
I'll chase you all the way to stairway, honey
Kiss your sassafrass

Love In An Elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm goin' down

Love In An Elevator
Livin' it up till I hit the ground

In the air, in the air, honey one more time
Now it ain't fair

In the air, in the air, in the air, in the air

Love In An Elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm goin' down

Monkey On My Back

Lyrics

(Oh it's me and i've been down yeah
got to get that monkey off my back)

The fortune teller looked into my eyballs
The wrinkles on her face about to crack
She said ' You best believe it,
You ain't goin' nowhere, unless you get that
Monkey Off your back'

I made believe the devil made me do it
I was the evil leader of the pack
You best believe I had it all and then I blew it
Feelin' that fuckin' Monkey On My Back

If you put it a spoon man I would boot it
Some king whose mental house was just a shack
Where do you draw the line when all your friends are dyin'
You got to get that monkey off your back
Uh, uh, uh....

Your crystal ball is where you chase the dragon
She said, 'now' I bring me home his head inside a sack
But now you find your crystal balls are dragin'
Got to get that monkey off your back

Water Song / Janie's Got a Gun

Lyrics

Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done?
Dum, dum, dum it's the sound of my gun.
Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done?
Dum, dum, dum it's the sound

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her whole world's come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun
What did her daddy do?
What did he put you through?
They said when Janie was arrested
they found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin' Now that Janie's got a gun
she ain't never gonna be the same.

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue.
What did her daddy do?
He jacked a little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under the lightning and the
thunder knew that someone had to stop the rain

Run away, run away from the pain yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Run away run away from the pain yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do?
It's Janie's last I.O.U.
She had to take him down easy and put a bullet in his brain
She said 'cause nobody believes me. The man was such a sleeze.
He ain't never gonna be the same.

Run away, run away from the pain yeah, yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Run away run away from the pain yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Everybody is on the run

Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Because Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Janie's got a gun

Dulcimer Stomp / The Other Side

Lyrics

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm mmm
ya!

(Chorus)
Lovin' you has got to be
(Take Me To The Other Side)
Like the devil in the deep blue sea
(Take Me To The Other Side)
Forget about your foolish pride
(Take Me To The Other Side)
Oh take me to the other side
(Take Me To The Other Side)

My mama told me there'd be days like this
And man she wasn't foolin'
'Cause I just can't believe the way you kiss
You opened up your moth with bated breath
You opened up your mouth with baited breath

You said you'd never leave me
You love me, you hate me, I tried to take the loss
You're cryin' me a river but I got to get across

(Chorus)

I'm lookin' for another kind of love
Oh Lordy, how I need it
The kind that likes to leap without a shove
Oh honey, best believe it
To save a lot of time and foolish pride
I'll say what's on my mind, girl
You love me, you hate me, You cut me down to size
You blinded me with love and, yeah, it opened up my eyes

Lovin' you has got to be
(Take Me To The Other Side)
Like the devil and the deep blue sea
(Take Me To The Other Side)
My conscience got to be my guide
(Take Me To The Other Side)
Oh honey, take me, take me, take, take, take, take

Take me to The Other Side
I'm lookin' for another kind of love
Oh, Lordy, how I need it
The kind that likes to leap without a shove
Honey, you best believe it
Now I ain't one for saying long goodbyes
I hope all is forgiven
You loved me, you hate me, I used to be your lover
You know you had it coming, girl
So take me to The Other Side
Take me to The Other Side, take me to The Other Side

Lovin' you has got to be
(Take Me To The Other Side)
Like the devil and the deep blue sea
(Take Me To The Other Side)
My conscience got to be my guide
(Take Me To The Other Side)
Oh honey, take me to the other side

(Chorus)

My Girl

Lyrics

My Girl, she breathes hellfire
And My Girl, she feeds my desire
My Girl Sadie, she's the wind in my sails
A puss'n boots lady with a cat o' nine tails
Comin' after you honey, feet don't fail me now

My Girl, she's bare back rider
And My Girl, she's Lady Godiva
She's a full time love no mon ami
Sweeter than honey from a honeybee
And it all rubs off on little old me, oh

Slippin' in and out of love
Slippin' in and out of love
Slippin' in and out of love
Slippin' in and out of love

My Girl, she smokes barbed wire
And My Girl, can't get no higher
I made it with the lady and a one track mind
Diamonds in the rought, they're so hard find
Day after day, the same old grind
And grind and grind and grind....

My Girl, My Girl, My Girl, My Girl....

My Girl, she's bare back rider
And My Girl, she's Lady Godiva
She's a full time love no mon ami
Sweeter than honey from a honeybee
And it all rubs off on little old me, oh

Slippin' in and out of love
Slippin' in and out of love
Slippin' in and out of love
Slippin' in and out of love

Oh, My Girl!

Don't Get Mad, Get Even

Lyrics

Mmm.....

I'll tell ya little secret
make you wanna jump and shout
When you talk to me in circles
Take your foot out of your mouth
It's hard enoguh to make it
When you're livin' on the street
And you want to tell somebody
But you got to be discreet
Then you catch your girlfriend
With her skirt hiked up to here
Honey, Don't Get Mad, Get Even

(Corus)
Don't Get Mad Get Even
Don't Get Mad Get Even, yeah
Don't Get Mad Get Even

Say the times they be a-changing
Though the blind lead the blind
And you know your head is empty
Though there's something on your mind
Shackin' up with Lucy and when the morning comes
You're with Sally in the Ally
And the junkies and the bums
You wonder why your girlfriend
Has her skirt hiked up to here
Honey, Don't Get Mad, Get Even

(Chorus)
(Spoken: ....till I can see the white o'
your eyes, baby...just wait till I...
I'm gonna fuck up, mm hmm, I'm gonna kick ass
You just wai to see what I've got in store...)

Roll the dice get lucky
'Cause they roll ya for a dime
You got nothing else to lose
If ya only loose your mind
When pleasure that is shallow
Causes trouble to be deep
You've been dusted with the devil
While he sweeps you off your feet
Huh,

Tell you little secret
Make you want to jump and shout
When you talk to me in circles
Take your foot out of your mouth
It's hard enough to make it
When you're livin' on the street
And you hate to be a wise guy
When your feet are inconcrete
Sleeping with the dogs
And you wake up with the fleas
Honey, Don't Get Mad, Get Even

(Chorus)

Uh, uh, uh.....

Hoodoo / Voodoo Medicine Man

Lyrics

I was left as a child
dragged from the cradle, I was weaned in the wild
ran with the wolfpack, flesh torn to shreds
in the compensations, I was left there for dead

read it in the paper it ain't fair
you know who today don't seem to care
livin', lovin', gettin' loose
masturbatin' with a noose
now someone's kickin' out the chair

some kind of voodoo
come across this land
some kind of voodoo
voodoo medicine man

everybody's lookin' at the sky
don't believe the coverups and lies
they been tellin' us since birth
pissin' off old Mother Earth
my gones are bygones prophesied

get ready

wonder should I go or should I stay
'cause what we got ain't workin' anyway
I did my best, God knows I tried
I feel like I been crucified
why did you take it all away

voodoo, voodoo, medicine man [repeat]

What It Takes

Lyrics

There goes my old girlfriend
There's another diamond ring
And a all those late night promises
I guess they don't mean a thing
So baby, what's the story
Did you find another man
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made
When you don't look back I guess
The feelings start to fade away
I used to feel your fire
But now it's cold inside
And you're back on the street
Like you didn't miss a beat, yeah

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep

In the night, without thinkin' you lost
Everything that was good in your life
To the toss of the dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go

Yeah,

Girl, before I met you, I was F.I.N.E - fine
But your love made me a prisoner
Yeah, my heart's been doing time
You spent me up like money
Then you hung me out to dry
It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
'Cause you had me in deep
With the devil in your eyes

(Chorus)

Guitar!

Tell me that you're happy that you're on your own
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me that it's better when you're all alone
Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch
Tell me that my lovin' didn't mean that much
Tell me you ain't dying
When you're cryin' for me

(Repeat Chorus)

Tell me who's to blame for thinkin' twice
'Cause i don't wanna burn in Paradise
Oh, let it go, let it go...

I don't wanna burn....
