You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather
But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heals are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
Look pretty young but I'm just backdated... yeahhhh
 
I remember someone doing a metal version of this in the 80s or early 90s. Anyone remember who that was?
 
Scorpions did "Can't Explain." But that's all I remember.
 
It was some damn hairspray band I think? Now this is going to drive me nuts for the night.

Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by
 
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
 
What about the boy?

What about the boy?

He saw IT ALL, he saw IT ALL


And tommy doesn't know what Christmas is!
he doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is!

How can he be saved, from the eternal grave?
 
Surrounded by his friends he sits so silently,
And unaware of everything.
Playing poxy pin ball
picks his nose and smiles and
Pokes his tongue at everything.
I believe in love
but how can men who've never seen
Light be enlightened.
Only if he's cured
will his spirits future level ever heighten.
 
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is.
He doesn't know who Jesus was or what prayin' is.
How can he be saved from the eternal grave?

I read that Eric Clapton fell madly in love with Anne Margaret and had to be removed by the police from her hotel.

I'm the Gypsy... the Acid Queen....
 
And who wasn't in love with Ann Margaret? She was a total babe! (Fucking Elvis!!!)

---------------------

If your child ain't all he should be now
This girl will put him right.
I'll show him what he could be now
Just give me one night.
I'm the Gypsy - the acid Queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy - The acid queen.
I'll tear your soul apart.

Give us a room and close the door
Leave us for a while.
Your boy won't be a boy no more
Young, but not a child.
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy the acid queen.
I'll tear your soul apart.

Gather your wits and hold on fast,
Your mind must learn to roam.
Just as the Gypsy Queen must do
You're gonna hit the road.

My work is done now look at him
He's never been more alive.
His head it shakes his fingers clutch.
Watch his body writhe
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed.
To break your little heart.
 
Remember her wallowing in Beans and Chocolate?


I'm your wicked Uncle Ernie
I'm glad you won't see me or hear me as I
FIDDLE ABOUT! FIDDLE ABOUT!

Poor Pete. The shit that man must have endured....
 
substitute
me for him
substitute
my coke for gin
substitute
you for my mum, at least i'll get my washing done
 
Fences.
We put up defences.
They can keep them out,
But they keep us in.

And that makes you dangerous.
So dangerous
To yourself.
 
Can you feel it in the shadows?
Watching you, touching you,
Can you feel it in the shadows?
Watching you, touching you
Changing you into a mad dog.
Howling at the moon.
And you're so far out of tune
Better learn how to sing.
Fences, we put up our defences.
Then we come to our senses.
It may keep them out
But it keeps us in
And that makes us dangerous
We're all dangerous to ourselves
 
Evidence as to how memory warps lyrics.


I am going to sit back in the recliner and watch Kenneth Branaugh's (sp) Henry V.

Good flick.
 
I'm Henry thefifth I am
Henry the fifth I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married four times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her fifth old man, I'm Henry
Henry the fifth I am

Second verse same as the first

I'm Henry the fifth I am
Henry the fifth I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married four times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her fifth old man, I'm Henry
Henry the fifth I am

I'm Henry the fifth I am
Henry the fifth I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married four times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her fifth old man, I'm Henry
Henry the fifth I am

H-E-N-R-Y
Henry (Henry)
Henry (Henry)
Henry the fifth I am, I am
Henry the fifth I am

Yeah!
