Lyrics


1. SOMETING TO SWALLOW

My baby keeps talkin´ but dogs talks to much, baby
Well can´t you shut your hole and keep it that way for a while ???
What I want is seing your pretty face underneath me, you see
I´m your poison now so drink my cold coup of disease
Check this
Shoot me down
Something

My baby likes rollin´ but rollin´ makes you dizzy inside
Slide up and down Juicy makin´ me kind of wild
Sister don´t tell, sister don´t tell what they do to you
Now don´t fall asleep, just open up and say with a smile, it´s wild
And this is what she said
Something to swallow

Oh, gimme something to swallow
Oh, gimme something to swallow
It´s not the whiskey down in the Soho bars that she likes
Oh, gimme something

I wanna tell you what she did in bed last night
She jumped right up on the floor and spread up her legs
She said, I don´t like being your baby tonight
Don´t you come around for more cause I´ve got hell to pay
And if you wanna do my little rattlesnake shake
You better stick to your guns, `cause it´s a tricky romance
Move up and down, get so close up to the bones
That´s the way i wanna hear it when she says
She shoot me down
Something

Oh, gimme something to swallow
Oh, gimme something to swallow
It´s not the whiskey down in the Soho bars that she likes
Oh, gimme something sweet, big, nice, baby
Something to swallow


2. STRANGE KIND OF ATTITUDE

I feel something runnin´ through my veins
And it feels like I´m goin´ quite insane
And I can´t find the cure anymore

`Cause she wouldn´t love me
Too young and I was too drunk
And I always been talkin´, talkin´
Praying like a dog in the rain
Like a dog in the rain

She said, you wanna ride with me
With a Jack in my hand, baby
I´m gonna sit outside your door
And try to understand

`Cause you got a strange kind of attitude
Don´t you see that I miss you too
What the hell am I gonna do with a girl like you
With a girl like you

What can I do
When I saw you walkin´with another man
All I can walk with now is my bottle, hand in hand

And don´t try to tell me
Stories that I´ve already been told
Doin´alright, baby
Just a drunk like me on my own
On my own

She said, you wanna ride with me
With a Jack in my hand, maybe
I´m gonna sit outside your door
And try to understand

`Cause you got a strange kind of attitude
Don´t you see that I miss you too
What the hell am I gonna do with a girl like you
With a girl like you

I was out walkin´ one lonely night
And the rain was pouring down her cheeks
She said to me, honey, love is like a smoke
And it always disappears

Don´t try to run
And don´t try to cry
And don´t try to throw my bottle away
`Cause I don´t know how to love someone
But I think I can find my way

She said, you wanna ride with me
With a Jack in my hand, maybe
I´m gonna sit outside your door
And try to understand

`Cause you got a strange kind of attitude
Don´t you see that I miss you too
What the hell am I gonna do with a girl like you

`Cause you got a strange kind of attitude
Don´t you see that I miss you too
What the hell am I gonna do with a girl like you
With a bitch like you
With a girl like you
Baby, I can find my way


3. JUCY LUCY

Now I wanna tell you a story
About a girl I used to know
She was like a dream come true to me
She was so, so fine
Wanna tell you a story
It´s not the one you think it is
And it´s all about my town
She lived down by the river
In this old black mans dirty house,
They all think she won´t last so long
But thats the problem, baby
See, I wanna be your man tonight

I don´t wanna be
I don´t wanna be alone

Lyin´ on my bedroom floor
And, baby, listen to a dusty radio
Got a bottle of whiskey in front of me
`Cause that´s one hell of a good old friend

I don´t wanna be
I don´t wanna be alone
Do you wanna play
Do you wanna play my dirty games

I live upstairs, baby
So far away from you
You live down under me
But I hear you knocking every god damn night

Do you remember all the flowers
I gave you when you said you were lonely
You´re so close but out of reach
So wasting my time on you
I don´t mind anymore

I don´t wanna be
I don´t wanna be alone
Do you wanna play
Do you wanna play my dirty games

I live upstairs, baby
So far away from you
You live down under me
But I hear you knocking every god damn night

Oh, mama, I hear you knocking
Don´t turn out the light
`Cause I might come back home to you

I don´t wanna be
I don´t wanna be alone
Do you wanna play
Do you wanna play my dirty games

I live upstairs, baby
So far away from you
You live down under me
But I hear you knocking every god damn night

I live upstairs, baby
So far away from you
You live down under me
But I hear you knocking every god damn night

I live upstairs, baby
So far away from you
You live down under me
But I hear you knocking every god damn night

I live upstairs, baby
So far away from you
You live down under me
But I hear you knocking every god damn night

She´s down and dirty, baby, now
`Cause Jucy Lucy never missed the rollin' train


4. LIKE A CHILD

Sometimes I could steal something real
Sometimes I could steal money from my old mans wallet
When he didn´t know whether he was givin´ it away
Or maybe lost it somehow yesterday
When I go to work it´s like I feel ashamed
Why do every single human have to live in pain
All I wanna do is just play my guitar
`Cause I´m a long haired boy
Just a singer in a rock 'n' roll band, yes I am

Everybody needs just a little good friend
To keep up the good mood when the bottle don't help
A blond bitch took my heart and I´m doing OK
Just a small town boy with rock 'n' roll on my mind

Sometimes I get drunk
Sometimes I get laid
And sometimes you can kiss my ass and don´t feel no shame
As long as you respect me for who I am
Gonna kill some time as a long haired rock 'n' roll star

They say you need some help
Gotta pray to the lord
They say you need some help
But I´ll do alright
You see, I´m not even sure if he exists or more
And I don´t give a damn what you believe in, now that´s for sure

They say I´m like a child
But they don´t know what a child is like
Almighty please tell me what to do
`Cause they say I believe in you
Gonna sit out in the sun and wondering what I´ve done

You think I´m nuts when I don´t play your game
So listen to a story that I have to tell
You don´t know a thing, honey, what life is about
I´m going home now, honey, tell your story-crap another time

They say you need some help
Gotta pray to the lord
They say you need some help
But I´ll do alright
You see, I´m not even sure if he exists or more
And I don´t give a damn what you believe in, now that´s for sure

They say I´m like a child
But they don´t know what a child is like
Almighty please tell me what to do
`Cause they say I believe in you

They say I´m like a child
But they don´t know what a child is like
Almighty please tell me what to do
`Cause they say I believe in you


5. KICKIN' UP DUST

Good girls go to heaven
Bad boys go to hell
And I believe in miracles
That´s what my Jesus said

Rich man lives in whorehouse
They were always built on sin
But I swear to God that I will tell the truth
If I only knew what it was

On your own with a bad boy smile
Mama, kickin´up dust around you
On your own with a bad boy smile
I´m living my life without you

Good girls go to heaven
Bad boys go to hell
And I believe in miracles
That´s what my Jesus said

Rich man lives in whorehouse
They were always built on sin
But I swear to God that I will tell the truth
If I only knew what it was

On your own with a bad boy smile
Mama, kickin´up dust around you
On your own with a bad boy smile
Living my life without you

One day I found my friend
But the old-man didn´t know
He prayed to the lord and asked him why
He gave him a son like this

Father couldn´t realise
And that really made me blue
Going down on the road to paradise
With a sixpack getting drunk

On your own with a bad boy smile
Mama, kickin´up dust around you
On your own with a bad boy smile
Living my life without you

Good girls go to heaven
Bad boys go to hell
And I believe in miracles
That´s what my Jesus said

Rich man lives in whorehouse
They were always built on sin
But I swear to God that I will tell the truth
If I only knew what it was

On your own with a bad boy smile
Mama, kickin´up dust around you
On your own with a bad boy smile
Living my life without you

On your own with a bad boy smile
Mama, kickin´up dust around you
On your own with a bad boy smile
Living my life without you
