Shudder to Think - Hot One Lyrics
Well, you're the grand one
Have you noticed?
When you walk in all the fairy boys are very nervous
Well, my starship doesn't want meAnd neither does his world
I'm glad I caught you on my view screen, sailor
You're the grand one
Come and court me
'cause this wooing is what I'm wanting
When my spacesuit comes to warm me
And hold me like a god
I am the captain of the gravity, Maxwell
Everywhere I see your faces
Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the Sun
But it's a crime!
You're mistaken!
Momentary seizure of love - oh love
Well, you're the grand one
But darling, I'm a mess
I've got human minds we can form
But the boys are not impressedWhen my spacesuit comes to warm me
Just hold me like a god
I'll be the captain of the gravity, Maxwell
I see your faces in the strangest places
Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the Sun
But it's a crime!
You're mistaken!
Momentary seizure of love - oh love
Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the Sun
But it's a drag!
You're so mean!
Destroying my belief in, in love - oh love

The Venus in Furs - 2HB Lyrics
Oh, I was moved by your screen dreamCelluloid pictures living
Your death could not kill my love for youTake two people romanticSmoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder
Here's looking at you kidCelebrate years
Here's looking at you kid
Wipe away tearsLong time since we're together
Now I hope it's forever
Ideal love flies away nowWhite jacket black tie wings tooYou gave her away to the hero
Words don't express my meaningNotes could not spell out the scoreBut finding not keeping's the lesson
Here's looking at you kidHard to forget
Here's looking at you kidAt least not yet
Your memory staysIt lingers ever
Will fade away never

Shudder to Think - The Ballad of Maxwell Demon Lyrics
Got tired of wasting gas living above the planet
Mister, show me the way to earthThe boys of Quadrant 44 with their vicious metal hounds
Never come around here no moreSometimes I wonder if I'm still alive
Six feet down at age 25Maxwell Leather Demon rock hand jive
I came down like waterFor the age of solar
Hail to the fatherKiss your sons and daughters
Goodbye goodbyeSteam steady roller
Lady tongue controllerTen feet tall, better walk it back down
Despite the great duress, always get off 'cause damn it!It's the only sure-fire way to winYour poison doesn't hurt me, no
Tender wine disguised in a milk-fat fair kiddie showI'm here to celebrate the one below
At last I've heard from good God above
As the slap on my ass by a lipstick-kissed elbow glove
I came down like waterFor the age of solar
Hail to the fatherKiss your sons and daughters
Goodbye goodbyeSteam steady roller
Lady tongue controllerTen feet tall, better walk it back down
I came down like water
For the age of solarI came down like water
Kiss your sons and daughters
Ten feet tall, better walk it back down

Grant Lee Buffalo - The Whole Shebang Lyrics
Darling, you can't live your life
Singing songs in exileYou were born for stardom's crown
And not for self-denialSo don't you close the door on fate
When she comes to callAnd tell her that you'll join her there
At the masquerader's ballFunny how some people never love at all
We'll take the whole shebangAll or nothing, anything
Ecstasy's the birthright of our gangWe'll take the whole shebang
Free your heart of guilt and shameCome and claim what's yours
The whole shebang
Nothing on this earth could hold you prisoner, my dearExcept for contemplations evil brother, love is feared
But love is extra-terrestrialAnd love falls from the stars
Like Maxwell Demon's silver disk
Into this world of oursFunny how we keep on loving, true love power
We'll take the whole shebangAll or nothing, anything
Ecstasy's the birthright of our gangWe'll take the whole shebang
Free your heart of guilt and shameCome and claim what's yours
The whole shebang
Kick up your heels and paint your faceWave goodbye to yesteryearWe can swing in outer space
Or from the chandeliersThough sometimes it breaks my heart, I hide my tears
We'll take the whole shebangAll or nothing, anything

The Venus in Furs - Ladytron Lyrics
You've got me girl on the run around run around
You've got me all around townYou've got me girl on the run around
And it's getting me down, getting me down
Lady if you want to find a loverThen you look no further
For I'm gonna be your only
Searching at the start of the seasonAnd my only reasonIs that I'll get to you
I'll find some way of connectionHiding my intentionThen I'll move up close to youI'll use you and I'll confuse you
And then I'll lose youBut still you won't suspect me

Roxy Music - Virginia Plain Lyrics
Make me a deal and make it straight
All signed and sealed I'll take it
To Robert E. Lee I'll show it
I hope and pray he don't blow it 'causeWe've been around a long time just try try tryin' to
Make make the big time...
Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six days wander but don't you
Don't you throw away my pride aside besides
What's real and make believe
Baby Jane's in Acapulco
We're flyin' down to Rio
Throw me a line I'm sinking fast
Clutching at straws can't make it
Havana sound we're trying hard edge the hipster jiving
Last picture show's down the drive-in
You're so sheer you're so chic
Teenage rebel of the week
Flavors of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the cha-cha through til sunriseOpen up exclusive doors oh wow!
Just like flamingos look the same
So me and you, just we two got to reach for something new
Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
Where my Studebaker takes me
That's where I'll make my stand but wait
Can't you see that Holzer mane
What's her name Virginia Plain

David Johansen/ Johnny Thunders - Personality Crisis Lyrics
Well we can't take it this week
and her friends don't want another speechhoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say
all about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
but now frustration and heartache is what you got(that's why they talk about Personality)
But now your tryin to be some no you got to do somewanna be someone who cow wow wows
but you think about the times you did, they took every ounce
when it sure got to be a shame when you start to scream and shout
you got to contradict all those times you were butterflyin' aboutyou were butterflyin' all about that
Personality Crisis you got it while it was hotbut now frustration and heartache is what you got
And you're a prima ballerina on a spring afternoonchange on into the wolfman howlin' at the moon
hooowwwlall about that Personality Crisis you got it while
it was hotbut now frustration and heartache is what you got
now with all the crossin fingers that mother nature saysyour mirrors get jammed up with all your friends
that personality everything starts to bendPersonality when your mind starts to bend
of a friend, of a friend
Personality wondering how celebrities ever metlook and find out on television
Personality Crisis you got it while it was hotfrustration and heartache is all you got don't you worry
Personality Crisis please don't cryit's just a Personality Crisis please don't stop
because you walk a Personalitytalk a Personality

Lou Reed - Satellite of Love Lyrics
Satellite's gone

Thing like that drive me

I watched it for a little while
I like to watch things on TV

Soon it will be filled
with parking cars
I watch it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV

I've been told that you've been bold
with Harry, Mark and John

out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV

T-Rex - Diamond Meadows Lyrics
If I could have grownAll upon my own
If I could have grownI grew
If I could have grewI do
If I had a throneYou could call it home
If I cry my tears are yoursTo open any frozen doors
Hey let's do it like we're friendsLet's do it do it
Hey let's do it like we're friends.

Paul Kimble and Andy Mackay - Bitter's End Lyrics
At last the crimson chord cascade
To shower dry cordials withinToo late to leap the chocolate gatePale fountains fizzing fort pink gin
While destiny begins to flyThe farmyard chorus sings its wake
Upstanding anthem to the skyToo soon to realize their fate
You were the raven of OctoberI knew the sign you flew around
Up in the air so high above meNever needed to look downI never though I'd be a rover
I didn't even look aroundBut now I know you've found another
So will someone please find me
Give now the host his claret cupAnd watch madeira's farewell drink
Note his reaction acid sharpShould make the cognoscenti think

The Venus in Furs - Baby's on Fire Lyrics
Baby's on fireBetter throw her in the water
Look at her laughingLike a heifer to the slaughter
Baby's on fireAnd all the laughing boys are bitching
Waiting for photosOh the plot is so bewitching
Rescuers row rowDo your best to change the subject
Blow the wind blow blow
Lend some assistance to the object
Photographers snip snapTake your time she's only burning
This kind of experienceIs necessary for her learning
If you'll be my flotsamI could be half the man I used to
They said you were hot stuffAnd that's what baby's been reduced to
Juanita and JuanVery clever with maracas
Making their fortunesSelling secondhand tobaccoes
Juan dances at Chico'sAnd when the clients are evicted
He empties the ashtraysAnd pockets all that he's collected
But baby's on fireAnd all the instruments agree that
Her temperature's risingBut any idiot would know that

The Venus in Furs - Bitter-Sweet Lyrics
Well, this is such a sad affair
I've opened up my heart so many times
But now it's closed
Oh my dear
Every salted tear
It wrings
Bitter-sweet applause
But when the show's in full swing
Every once in awhile
High stepping chorus lines
Mean I'm forgetting
Mein lullaby - liebchen
How rich in contrast
Love can be
Sometimes I'm quite amused
To see it twist and turn
To taste both sweet and dry
These vintage years
Lovers you consume, my friend
As others their wine
Nein - das ist nicht
Das ende der Welt
Gestrandet an Leben und Kunst
Und das spiel geht weiter
Wie man weiss
Noch viele 'schoum'....wiedersehen
(Translation of German lyrics:
No - this is not the end of the world
Stranded because of life and art
And the game goes on as you know
Schoum....see you)
And now, as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile
As if to compensate
Then you break down and cry

The Venus in Furs - Tumbling Down Lyrics
Gee, but it's hardWhen one lowers one's guard to the vultures
Now, me I regard itA torturous hardship that smolders
Like a peppermint eaten awayWill I fight? Will I swagger, or sway?
Tee hee, miladyShe cries like a baby
Scold us
See her tumbling down
Heil to the monkeyWe're having a funky reunion
Wasted and sunkHe can only have Sunday communion
He's got nicotine stains in his eyesHe's got nothing to protect but his pride
Oh smothered a kissOr be drowned in blissful confusion
See her tumbling down

Steve Harley - Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me) Lyrics
You've done it all, you've broken every code
And pulled the rebel to the floorYou spoilt the game, no matter what you say
For only metal - what a bore!Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so many lies?
Come up and see me, make me smileOr do what you want, run on wild
There's nothing left, all gone and run awayMaybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smileResist, resist, it's from yourself you have to hide
Come up and see me, make me smileOr do what you want, run on wild
There ain't no more, you've taken everythingFrom my believe in Mother Earth
How can you ignore my faith in everythingWhen I know what Faith is and what it's worthAway, away, and don't say maybe you'll try
Come up and see me, make me smileOr do what you want, run on wild

The Venus in Furs - Sebastian Lyrics
Radiate simply, the candle is burning so low for me
Generate me limply, I can't seem to place your name, cherieTo rearrange all these thoughts in a moment is suicide
Come to a strange place, we'll talk over old times we never spied
Somebody called me SebastianWork out a rhyme, toss me the time, lay me, you're mine
And we all know, oh yeah!
Your Persian eye sparkle; your lips, ruby blue don't speak a soundYou, oh so gay, with Parisian demands, you can run-around
And your view of society screws up my mind like you'll never know
Lead me away, come inside, see my mind in kaleidoscope
Somebody called me SebastianLove me sublime, mangle my mind, do it in style,
So we all know, oh yeah!
You're not gonna run, babe, we only just begun, babe, to compromiseSlagged in a Bowery saloon, love's a story we'll serialisePale angel face; green eye-shadow, the glitter is outasiteNo courtesan could begin to decipher your beam of light
Somebody called me SebastianDance on my heart, laugh, swoop and dart, la-di-di-da
Now we all know you, yeah!

Brian Eno - Dead Finks Don't Talk Lyrics
Oh cheeky cheeky
Oh naughty sneaky
You're so perceptiveAnd I wonder how you knew.
But dead finks don't walk too well (oh no)
A bad sense of direction (oh no)
And so they stumble round in threes (oh no)
Such a strange collection.
Oh, you headless chicken
Can those poor teeth take so much kicking?
You're always so charming
As you make your way up here.
And dead finks don't dress too well
No discrimination
To be a zombie all the time
Requires such dedication.
"Oh please sir, will you let it go by,
'Cos I failed both tests with my legs both tied
In my place the stuff is all there
I've been ever so sad for a very long time.
My my, they wanted the works:
Can you this? and that? I never got a letter back
More fool me, bless my soul
More fool me, bless my soul."
Oh perfect masters
They thrive on disasters
They all look so harmless
Till they find their way up here.
But dead finks don't talk too well
They've got a shaky sense of diction
It's not so much a living hell
It's just a dying fiction.

Andy Pratt - Avenging Annie Lyrics
They ran through hills and forestAs two under a spell
He was a city boy Floyd the outlawAnd she thought she new him well.
Long after that great summerWhen she first came into her fameAnd the avenger from Oklahoma
Was added to her nameThe avenger she became.
Well they call her avenging AnnieThe avenger of womanhood
She spends her whole life telling liesThese on a mess and over good
She'll take all these spoilt young hippiesRunning around playing games
They're surrounding your bed, she'll blow your headShe'll put you through a change.
What you've done to othersShe'll do unto you.
Then she met her sensitive outlawHe was the best thing she ever did seen
She was to be his wife for the rest of her life,But she was so blind she could never had seen.
No!
So she joined up with her outlawAnd headed for California.
He treated her worse than she'd ever imagined
He didn't say he didn't want her aroundHe kept it up so long, she couldn't be strong
He run her right into the ground.
After five long years,He picked her up and slapped her down.
Then she told her friends about him

8/12/2019 Velvet Goldmine Lyrics
24/27
They all were on her sideBut she could see through the haze he looked so pale
She put her head right down and she cried.
For her poor lover
She cried like a mother for her poor lover.
And now she lives on a mountain topAnd she's almost thirty-five
And she's found her peace and found her releaseHappy just to be alive.
And she might go back to her FloydIf she thinks it's the thing to do
He gave up murder and theft after she leftAnd you know she still loves him to
Just like a worn out shoeJust like a worn out shoeJust like a worn out shoeJust like a worn out shoeJust like a worn out shoeJust like a worn out shoeJust like a worn out shoe
Well they call her avenging AnnieThe avenger of womanhood
She spends her whole life telling liesLeads them on a mess and over good.

Brian Eno - The Fat Lady of Limbourg Lyrics
Well, I rang up Pantucci,
Spoke to Lu-chi,I gave them all
They needed to know.If affairs are proceeding
As we're expecting,Soon enough the weak spots will show.
I assume you understand that we have options on your time,And will ditch you in the harbour if we must:
But if it all works out nicely,You'll get the bonus you deserve
From doctors we trust.
The Fat Lady of LimbourgLooked at the samples that we sent
And furrowed her brow.You would never believe thatShe'd tasted royalty and fame
If you saw her now.But her sense of taste is such that she'll distinguish with her tongue
The subtleties a spectrograph would miss,And announce her decision,While demanding her reward:
The jellyfish kiss.
Now we checked out this duck quackWho laid a big egg, oh so black
It shone just like gold.And the kids from the city,
Finding it pretty, took it home,And there it was sold.
It was changing hands for weeks till someone left it by their fireAnd it melted to a puddle on the floor:
For it was only a candle, a Roman scandal oh oh oh,
Now it's a pool.That's what we're paid forThat's what we're paid for
That's what we're paid for here.

Fredda Payne - Band of Gold Lyrics
Now that you've goneAll that's left is a band of gold
All that's left are the dreams I holdBand of gold
And the memories of what love could beIf you were still here with me
You took me from the shelter of my motherI have never known or loved another
We kissed after taking vowsThat night on our honeymoonWe stayed in separate rooms
I wait in the darkness of my lonely roomFilled with sadness filled with gloom
Hoping soonThat you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried beforeNow that you've gone
All that's left is a band of goldAll that's left are the dreams I hold
Band of goldAnd memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me
Don't you know that I waitIn the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness filled with gloomHoping soon
Thta you'lol walk back through that doorAnd love me like you tried before
Since you've been goneAll that's left is a band of gold
All that's left are the dreams I holdBand of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with meI wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness filled with gloomHoping soon
That you'll walk back through that doorAnd love me like you tried before

T-Rex - Cosmic Dancer Lyrics
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was aaahI danced myself right out the womb
Is it strange to dance so soonI danced myself right out the womb
I was dancing when I was eightIs it strange to dance so late
I danced myself into the tombIs it strange to dance so soonI danced myself into the tomb
Is it wrong to understandThe fear that dwells inside a man
What's it like to be a loonI liken it to a balloon
I danced myself out of the wombIs it strange to dance so soonI danced myself into the tomb
But when again once more
I danced myself out of the womb
Is it strange to dance so soonI danced myself out of the womb.
