    VICIOUS

    Vicious
    You hit me with a flower
    You do it every hour
    Ohh, baby you're so vicious
    
    Vicious
    You want me to hit you with a stick
    But all I've got's a guitar pick
    Huh... baby you're so vicious
    
    When I watch you come
    I just want to run   far away
    You're not the kind of person
    Around whom I want to stay
    
    When I see you comin' down the street
    I step on your hands and I mangle your feet
    You're not the kind of person that I wanna meet
    Oh, baby, you're so vicious
    
    Vicious
    You hit me with a flower
    You do it every hour
    Ohh, baby you're so vicious
    
    Vicious
    Hey, why don't you swallow razor blades
    You must think I'm some kinda gay blade
    But baby, you're so vicious
    When I watch you comin'
    I just have to run
    You're not good and you certainly aren't very much fun
    When I see you walkin' down the street
    I step on your hand and I mangle your feet
    You're not the kind of person that I even wanna meet
    'Cause you're so vicious
    
    Vicious
    Vicious...
    

    ANDY'S CHEST

    If I could be anything in the world that flew
    I would be a bat and come swooping after you
    And if the last time you were here things were a bit askew
    
    Well you know what happens after dark
    When rattlesnakes lose their skins and their hearts
    And all the missionaries lose their bark
    Oh, all the trees are calling after you
    And all the venom snipers after you
    Are all the mountains bolder after you?
    
    If I could be anyone of the things in this world that bite
    Instead of an ocelot on a leash, I'd rather be a kite
    And be tied to the end of your string
    And flying in the air, babe, at night
    Cause ou know what they say about honey bears
    When you shave off all their baby hair
    You have a hairy minded pink bare bear
    
    And all the balls are rolling out for you
    And stones are all erupting out for you
    And all the cheap bloodsuckers are flying after you
    
    Yesterday, Daisy Mae and Biff were grooving on the street
    And just like in a movie, her hands became her feet
    Her belly button was her mouth
    Wich meant she tasted what she'd speak
    
    But the funny thing is what happened to her nose
    It grew until it reached all of her toes
    Now when people say her feet they mean her nose
    
    And curtains laced with diamonds dear for you
    And all the Roman Noblemen for you
    And kingdom's Christian Soldiers dear for you
    And melting ice cap mountain tops for you
    And knights in flamming silver robes for you
    And bats that with a kiss turn prince for you
    Swoop, Swoop
    oh baby,
    Rock Rock
    Swoop, Swoop, Rock, Rock
    

    PERFECT DAY

    Just a perfect day,
    Drink Sangria in the park,
    And then later, when it gets dark, 
    We go home.
    Just a perfect day,
    Feed animals in the zoo
    Then later, a movie, too,
    And then home.
    
    Oh it's such a perfect day, 
    I'm glad I spent it with you.
    Oh such a perfect day,
    You just keep me hanging on,
    You just keep me hanging on.
    
    Just a perfect day,
    Problems all left alone,
    Weekenders on our own.
    It's such fun.
    Just a perfect day,
    You made me forget myself.
    I thought I was someone else,
    Someone good.
    
    Oh it's such a perfect day, 
    I'm glad I spent it with you.
    Oh such a perfect day,
    You just keep me hanging on,
    You just keep me hanging on.
    
        You're going to reap just what you sow,
        You're going to reap just what you sow,
        You're going to reap just what you sow,
        You're going to reap just what you sow...
    

    HANGIN' 'ROUND

    Harry was a rich young man who would become a priest
    He dug up his dear father who was recently deceased
    He did it with terrible cause and a mystigated mind
    And shoved his dad after it did find
    
    Jeanie was a spoiled young brat, she thought she knew it all
    She smoked mentholated cigarettes and she had sex in the hall
    But she was not my kind or even of my sign
    The kind of diamond mother I would be without
    
    Oh oh oh you keep hangin' 'round me and I'm not so glad you found me
    You're still doin' things that I gave up years ago
    Oh oh oh you keep hangin' 'round me and I'm not so glad you found me
    You're still doin' things that I gave up years ago
    All right now
    
    Uh ha ha ha
    Cathy was a visarage she painted all her toes
    And on her face she wore dentures clamped tightly to her nose
    And when she finally spoke her twang her glasses broke
    And no one else could smoke while she was in the room
    
    Hark the hearled angels sing and reached out for a phone
    And what he did with a powerful hand God won't teach this one
    But it was all too much and sprinkling angel dust
    Tell AT&T we did wish you well
    
    Oh, but you keep hangin' 'round me and I'm not so glad you found me
    You're still doin' things that I gave up years ago
    Oh oh oh you keep hangin' 'round me and I'm not so glad you found me
    You're still doin' things that I gave up years ago
    Hangin' 'round, hangin' 'round, hangin' 'round, hangin' 'round, ....
    

    WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

    Holly came from Miami, Fla
    Hitchhiked her way across the USA.
    Plucked her eyebrows on the way
    Shaved her leg and then he was she - she said:
    
    Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side,
    Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
    
    Candy came from out on the island,
    In the backroom she was everybodys darling,
    But she never lost her head
    Even when she was given head - she said
    
    Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side,
    Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
    And the coloured girls go, doo dodoo 
    
    Little Joe never once gave it away,
    Ev'rybody had to pay and pay.
    A hustle here and a hustle there
    New York city is no place where they said:
    
    Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side,
    Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
    
    Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets
    Looking for soul food and a place to eat
    Went to the Apollo, you should have seen him go go go - they said:
    
    Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side,
    Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
    
    Jackie is just speeding away,
    Thought she was James Dean for a day
    Then I guess she had to crash, Valium would have helped that bash - she said:
    
    Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side,
    Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
    And the coloured girls go, doo dodoo 
    

    MAKE UP

    Your face when sleeping is sublime
    And then you open up your eyes
    Then comes pancake factor number one
    Eyeliner rose hips and lips gloss are such fun
    You're a slick little girl
    You're a slick little girl
    
    Rouge and coloring incense and ice
    Perfume and kisses oooo it's all so nice
    You're a slick little girl
    You're a slick little girl
    
    Now we're comin' out
    Out of our closets
    Out on the streets
    Yeah, we're comin' out
    
    When you're in bed it's so wonderful
    It'd be so nice to fall in love
    When you get dressed I really get my fill
    People say that it's impossible
    
    Gowns lovely made out of lace
    And all the things that you do to your face
    You're a slick little girl
    Oh, you're a slick little girl
    Eyeliner, whitener, then color the eyes
    Yellow and green oh what a surprise
    You're a slick little girl
    Oh, you're such a slick little girl
    
    Now we're comin' out
    Out of our closets
    Out on the streets
    Yes, we're comin' out
    Yeah, we're comin' out
    Yeah, we're comin' out
    

    SATELLITE OF LOVE

    Satellites gone up to the sky
    Things like that drive me out of my mind 
    I watched it for a little while 
    I love to watch things on TV
    
    Chorus:
    
    Oh, Satellite of Love
    Ah, Satellite of Love
    Satellite of Love
    Satellite
    
    Satellites gone, way up to Mars
    Soon it will be filled with parking cars
    I watched it for a little while
    I like to watch things on TV
    
    Chorus
    
    I've been told that you've been bored
    With Harry, Mark and John
    Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday,
    Harry, Mark and John
    
    Satellites gone up to the sky
    Things like that drive me out of my mind
    I watched it for a little while
    I love to watch things on TV
    
    Chorus

    NEW YORK TELEPHONE CONVERSATION

    
    I was sleeping, gently napping, when I heard the phone
    Who is on the other end talking, am I even home
    Did you see what she did to him, did you hear what they said
    Just a New York conversation, rattling in my head
    
    Oh, my, and what shall we wear
    Oh, my, and whop really cares
    
    Just a New York conversation, gossip all of the time
    Did you hear who did what to whom, happens all the time
    Who has touched and who has dabbled here in the city of shows
    Openings, closings, bad repartee, everybody knows
    
    Oh, how sad, why do we call
    Oh, I'm glad to hear from you all
    
    I am calling, yes I'm calling just to speak to you
    For I know this night will kill me, if I can't be with you
    If I can't be with you
    

    I'M SO FREE

    Yes I am a nature's son and I'm the only one
    I do what I want and I want what I see
    You know it happens to me
    I'm so free, I'm so free
    
    Oh please ain't your man
    I have come this way
    Do you remember the shape I was in
    I had horns that bent
    I'm so free, I'm so free
    
    Do you remember the silver walks
    You used to shiver and I used to talk
    Then we went down to Time's Square
    And in the center been hangin round there
    I'm so free, I'm so free
    Yes I am mother nature's son and I'm the only one
    I do what I want and I want what I see
    Could only happens to me
    I'm so free, I'm so free

    Feels so good now, I'm so free, oh, I'm so free, ......
    

    GOODNIGHT LADIES

    Goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight
    It's time to say goodbye
    Let me tell you now
    Goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight
    It's time to say goodbye
    Now all night long you've been drinking your tequilla
    But now you've sucked your lemon peel dry
    So why not get high
    Goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight
    
    Goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight
    It's time to say goodbye
    Goodnight sweet ladies, ladies goodnight
    It's time to say goodbye bye bye
    Oh we've been together for the longest time
    But now it's time to get high
    Come on let's get high
    And goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight
    
    Oh, I'm still missing my other half
    Ah, it must be something I did in the past
    Don't it just make you want to laugh
    It's a lonely Saturday night
    Oh, nobody calls me on the telephone
    I put another record on my stereo
    But I'm still singin' a song of you
    It's a lonely Saturday night
    
    Now if I was an actor or a dancer who is glamorous
    Then you know an amorus life would soon be mine
    But now the tinsil lighted starbreak is all that's left
    To play my heartbreak
    At eleven o'clock I watch the network news
    
    Oh, wow, wow, something tells me that you're nearly gone
    You said we could be friends but that's not what I want
    Ah, anyway my TV dinner's almost done
    It's a lonely Saturday night
    I mean to tell you it's a lonely Saturday night
    One more round
