Mott The Hoople - All The Young Dudes (1972) by Mott The Hoople (보컬) on maniadb.com

Standing on the corner
Suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his corset and Jane is in her vest
And me I'm in a rock and roll band
Riding in a Stutz Bearcat Jim
Those were different times
And the poets studied rules of verse
And all the ladies rolled there eyes
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

Now Jack he is a banker
And Jane she is a clerk
And they're both saving up all their money
And when they come home from work
Sitting by the fire
Radios a-play
A little classical music for you kids
To the march of the wooden soldiers and you can hear Jack say
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

Some people like to go out dancing
Other people they got to work
And there's always some evil mothers
I tell you life is just full of dirt
And the women never really faint
And the villains always blink their eyes
And children are the only ones that blush
And that life is just to die
But anyone who had a heart
He wouldn't want to turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
He wouldn't want to turn around and hate it
Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Sweet Jane
Oh my sweet Jane

Momma's little jewel just out of school fresh from the nuns that made you

Don't know why but I'm going to try to re-in-celibate you
Momma's little jewel you got the rules but I'll be the one to educate you
Take what's mine take a little time and don't bite the hand that makes you

True when I hold you near well I'm
Caught even when I'm on the road well I'm
Wearing my scorpio faces when I
Come in the midnight sun

What you want I can't buy so why don't you try it my way
What you look for ain't in the book but I'm going to show you someday

Laugh in the evening when I
Catch you with my [w...?] when I
Wearing my scorpio faces when I
Come in the midnight sun

You won't rise you won't shine you won't even try boys
You've got brains if you love changes you'll have to play with my toys
Momma's little jewel such a little fool thinks she can learn all the answers

She don't want to feel she just want to steal don't want to take any chances


True when I hold you near well I'm
Caught even when I'm on the road when I'm
Wearing my scorpio faces when I
Come in the midnight sun when I
Laugh in the evening when I
Catch you with my watering gun when I
Wearing my scorpio faces when I
Come in the midnight sun when I
Come in the midnight sun when I
Come in the midnight sun when I
Come in the midnight sun when I
Come in the midnight sun when I

Well, Billy rapped all night about his suicide,
how he'd kick it in the head when he was twenty-five,
speed jive, don't want to stay alive
when you're twenty-five.
and Freddie's got spots from ripping off the stars from his face,
And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
funky little boat race.
The television man is crazy saying we're juvenile deliquent wrecks,

Now Lucy looks sweet cause he dresses like a queen
but he can kick like a mule - it's a real mean team
but we can love, oh yes - we can love.
And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones,
we never got it off on that revolution stuff,
what a drag - too many snags.
Now I've drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine,
I've got to race some cat to bed,

or is it in my head, yeah,

Hi there your friendly neighbourhood sadist want to take you for a ride
Come on tell me 'bout the nights that I make you cry
Two tiny purple hands crawling out across the floor
All I could hear was a voice 'give me more more more'
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
She knows its right in her heart I never fail
She's a sucker

God help the woman who's late for work I get a green light flashing red
Like a superstar [brass town?] queen who's crown I bled
Now I just ran out of aspirin for an aching head
So I guess I'll have to do it just one more time instead
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
She knows its right in her heart I never fail
She's a sucker

Good games play games no names well that's alright if you can stand the pain

You can smoke my cigar all night through the link in your chain
Stand up baby its time to go
Well look what's here maybe if we do it slow
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale

Old man Tyler had a crash in his car down on the fortune highway
Doctor said it was his cruel sick heart didn't go to church on Sunday
Oh your pace is going to knock you dead
Out of the race you got time to spare
Jerkin' Crocus is the cause of the cross y

Know that I grow my hair just to scare the teacher
My goodness gracious me ain't little Johnny a creature
And I lost count of the times when I never bathed
I'm one of the boys
One of the boys
I don't say much but I make a big noise
And it's growing alright its growing

I borrowed Gypsy's Gibson just to show them
And now I'm a rock and roll star I don't want to know them
If they want a stray they better go out a grow one
I'm one of the boys
One of the boys
I'm only human so I ain't got much choice
And I know it yeah I know it
Alright!
Hit it come on!

I'm just one of the boys
One of the boys
I don't say much but I make a big noise
And it's growing yeah its growing
I'm one of the boys
One of the boys

And I know it yes I know it
One of the boys

Too many people about
Telling me what to do with myself
It's hard to get around
Walking on soft soft ground

Well they can say what they feel
Cause I'm completely foreign
I know it's clear
It's putting my mind my mind at ease
She's reliable but demanding
She orders me about
She often keeps on wanting
'Til the morning light is out

Too many mouths
Arguing over nothing
Its hard to get around
Walking on soft soft ground

On morning shadows you were ill-spent
";It's time";, you said, or is it time you went
I tried so hard to leave you
I tried to sleep
The hours you keep
Oh Lord I wish I could escape this iron veil
Ride on my son
Ride on my son
Ride until you fail

Something comes and something goes
And something dies before it grows
And I'm like a sea diver
Who's lost in space
[";Sweet";, said His Grace?]
Oh Lord I wish I could escape this iron veil
Ride on my son
Right on my son
Ride until you fail
