I said I don't get out too much I said
She said you said I said two times instead
I said oh please please please no,
You're just not funny ya know
So stick around here for a week or three or four
I passed out one time by your door
It was twenty to four though I just can't be sure

Cinderella Cinderella she쨈s my very kind of fella
Part right half wrong oh you know it won't be too long
And oh you know we country boy
Are only after sex and noise
Take me shake me I'm a real mess oh yes
I love the way you city girls dress
Even though your head's in a mess

Well it was some king of house some kind of road
With some kind of peculiar dress code
All the boys had no style not one girl did she smile
I said your making me itch she said I don쨈t
I said I'll try my best she said I know that you won't
Now it's time to go home while I was chewing her bone

Baby doll baby doll climbing on the bedroom wall
Got no real friends at all maybe she's a mother or two
But I think she's into you
Take me home take me home
Call my mother on the phone
Ella was her name when I left but now she is Rose
Got no fingers or toes lost them
Everywhere that she goes, now

Lost them everywhere that she goes now
Lost them everywhere that she goes now
Lost them everywhere that she goes now
Lost them everywhere that she goes now

Cinderella Cinderella she's my very kind of fella
Part right half wrong oh you know it won쨈t be too long
And oh you know we country boy
Are only after sex and noise
Take me shake me I'm a real mess oh yes
I love the way you city girls dress
Even though your head's in a mess

Baby doll baby doll climbing on the bedroom wall
Got no real friends at all maybe she's a mother or two
But I think she's into you
Take me home take me home
Call my mother on the phone
Ella was her name when I left but now she is Rose
Got no fingers or toes lost them
Everywhere that she goes, now

Well she wants to be a singer in the band
Maybe I'll give the girl a hand & a mircophone
look like she's all alone
She can bring a friend though she's not my kind of friend
She keeps staring me out with her ole black & blue eyes

And I can take her dancing just to give the girl a chance
And I was never that good at being nice when I should
I guess that she'll forgive right before she trys to kill me
Coz I sold her on yesterday's

Come take me ole eyes

I can take the the waltz just so she could kick my head in
'o i do believe i was drunk
and both of my heads had shrunk
I guess her name was Tina coz before I'd even seen her
I was lost in her wats-ya-name....

'o take me home....eye eye's...

And Chelsea said she's got nowhere to go
And if she does she's getting there slow
And I can help her out but I've got somewhere to be
And thats the very thing when your dealing with me

Begging me to bag her, and filthy heart & swollen hips
And she said o my dearest im not pretty; isn't it a pity
That you wont kiss these rotten lips
So take me o my..eye...eyes eyes
Ole black & blue eyes.......

And Chelsea said she's got nowhere to go
And if she does she's getting there slow
And I can help her out but I've got somewhere to be
And thats the very thing when your dealing with me

Do do do do do do do do do...

Well I met her in a bar, the men with big guitars were playin And I listened with my ears but I couldn’t hear what she was sayin And I guess she talked with her mind But didn’t want to seem to unkind so I just laughed And kept my eyes peeled to the door Wondering what I was there for But it’s alright, it’s alright It’s alright, it’s alright I got my nuts from a hippy in a camper van on Saturday night Well I asked if she believed in Adam and Eve the fable And I guess she would’ve given me an answer if only she was able And she danced like a medicine man Drew a crazy picture on my hand and told me She wanted to change my point of view Asked me where I was going to But it’s alright, it’s alright It’s alright, it’s alright I got my nuts from a hippy in a camper van on Saturday night Well she whispered in my ear we got to get us out of here to the country I asked her for a ride she took me aside said “try me” I thought I’m gonna wake pretty soon In the middle of a Sunday afternoon just dreamin And it was warm in the back of her van When she made me a real man

She said oh my, I don't know why
I was just busy watching everyone go by
Outside the shite bar, and you're a red car
Me and your girlfriend and your sister with the big scar

I said oh Christ, I told you twice
It's just not easy going through all these things thrice
What's this I wonder, you drive a bluebird
You got no money for the petrol, that's what I heard

And it's all right, she'll be sucking fingers all night
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight
Sick in the head, first in the bed
So easy to be Friday's nightmare

I said oh no, oh please just go
You got no eyelids and sweet ella loves me so
She got my number, though I can't stand her
I can't help diggin her a hope I guess I wonder
And oh it's clear, you want me dear
It would be easier if I was never here
You got the money, and I got the reason,
I'll stick around with you for just another season

And it's alright, she'll be sucking fingers all night
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight
Sick in the head, first in the bed
So easy to be Friday's nightmare

She's just getting along,
So don't tell me she's yours
Oh please tell me I'm wrong again
It's all in a daze/day,
So what can you say
Just; sleep in yer shoes
With the winterbox blues
Any time you choose, Oh yeah

She said oh my, I don't know why
I was just busy watching everyone go by
Outside the shite bar, and you're a red car
Me and your girlfriend and your sister with the big scar

She said oh Christ, I told you twice
It's just not easy going through all these things thrice
What's this I wonder, you drive a bluebird
You got no money for the petrol, that's what I heard

And it's alright, she'll be sucking fingers all night
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight
Sick in the head, first in the bed
So easy to be Friday's wonder

Whistle for the boys now don't be shy
Give us all a song and a reason why
Baby got the bones and a hand me down
Says her heart is black but her eyes are brown
Give the boys a flash and they'll love you so
Give the girl some cash cause your mother said so
And take em out to look at the queen
And any old girl who's in between

Lay yourself down by the side of the bed
Oh you naughty girl you know you tickle me red
You look so dumb and you sound so twee
And you can only wish that you was married to me

Well, that's what you get
Oh don't get upset
Ridiculous you
Waiting in the queue oh whoopee doo
You could have been
The best that I've seen
Under the red light
Everybody knows you cried last night

Give us all a go till your face turns red
Little Greg said you went home instead
If you stick around you'll get an alibi
And we'll try and keep your pretty face bone dry
Rent a honey rent a honey one two three
Chasing all the boys from your door can't be easy
Well ruby said you was wrecked
But your was never well behaved the last time I checked

Lay yourself down by the side of the bed
Oh you naughty girl you know you tickle me red
You look so dumb and you sound so twee
And you can only wish that you was married to me

Well that's what you get
Oh don't get upset
Ridiculous you
Waiting in the queue oh whoopee doo

You could have been
The best that I've seen
Under the red light every body knows you cried last night

Lay yourself down by the side of the bed
Oh you naughty girl you know you tickle me red
You look so dumb and you sound so twee
You can only wish that you were married to me

Well that's what you get
Oh don't get upset
Ridiculous you
Waiting in the queue oh whoopee doo
You could have been
The best that I've seen
Under the red light
Everybody knows you cried last night

Well you got so good,
You live for the action,
Used to be a husband now you got yourself some satisfaction,
A dog in a bag and a bone.
But you're lost in the rain,
21 million miles from home.
You got brand new shoes,
A healthy fixation,
Atomic heart and a two for one education.
You're breaking my heart all the way.
With your dog in a bag I need your madness just to get through the day.

... o clock.
Too hot to sleep,
A rotten taste in my mouth,
And my eyes are deep.
There's nothing much really going on out here,
I'm holding on for dear life and one more beer.
I guess you could say it's a sick little show,
A bottle of troubles and a bed full of woe
It's easy to see without looking too far, you have to be a saint to be as sick as you are.

Half the world's asleep,
The rest of them are dreaming.
God forbid if you forget to close the door as you're leaving.
I hate to see you in a bind.

With a dog in a bag, sleeping next to your ridiculous mind.
With a dog in a bag, sleeping next to your ridiculous mind.
With a dog in a bag, sleeping next to your ridiculous mind

La la la la la la........

Well she said I know but I just can't tell
Everything you've just been saying
Lucy was there aswell in the dark
When the kids in the band were playing

No-one can hear a word I tell
What the girl was singing
See she must've been 16 or 18
I'm just past caring

She was into the Stones when
I was into the Roses
She was breaking my bones when
I was bursting their noses
She would tell me a secret
I would lose it the next day
You're not pleased that you're easy
Makes you sick in a bad way

And all the while the girls sang
La la la la and she sang
Kickings for my sweetheart
Bruises that I just don't miss

And she said "I can't love you anymore than this!"

La la la la la la la...............
La la la la la la la...............

Aww she said she said oh no no no no
Let me yes why don't you kill me
I said when I'm messed up like this
Sweetheart you know that don't thrill me
Said I would've been there if only I had been a little bit nicer
I was dead by Sunday half dead scared just trying to please her

She getting the pills when
I was into her best friend
She was chasing the thrills
And living down at the West End
She was pretty in braces
I lived out of her window
She said "take me to London"
Tell me something I don't know

And all the while the girls sang
La la la la she sang
Kickings for my sweetheart
Bruises that I just don't miss

And she said "I can't love you anymore than this!"

La la la la la.....
La la la la la.....
La la la la la.....
La la la la la.....

She was into the Stones when
I was into the Roses
She was breaking my bones when
I was bursting their noses
She would tell me a secret
I would lose it the next day
You're not pleased that you're easy
Makes you sick in a bad way
And all the while the girls sang
La la la la she sang
Kickings for my sweetheart
Bruises that I just don't miss

And she said "I don't like you
You can't stand me
I can't love you anymore than this"

Well you must be a girl with shoes like that
She said you know me well
I seen you and little steven and Joanna
Round the back of my hotel, oh yeah

Someone said you was asking after me
But I know you best as a blagger
I said tell me your name is it sweet?
She said my boy it's dagger oh yeah

Gave me gear thank you dear bring yer sister over here
Let her dance with me just for the hell of it

Well you must be a boy with bones like that
She said you got me wrong
I would've sold them to you
If I could've just have kept the last of my clothes on , oh yeah
Call me up take me down with you
When you go I could be your regular belle
And I'll also dance for little steven and Joanna
Round the back of my hotel oh yeah

I was good she was hot
Stealin everything she got
I was bold she was over the worst of it
Gave me gear thank you dear bring yer sister over here
Let her dance with me just for the hell of it

Chelsea Chelsea I believe that when your dancing slowly
Sucking your sleeve
The boys get lonely after you leave
It's one for the Dagger and another for the one you believe

Chelsea Chelsea I believe that when your dancing slowly
Sucking your sleeve
The boys get lonely after you leave
It's one for the Dagger and another for the one you believe

Well it's a big big city and it's always the same can never be too pretty tell me your name Is it out of line if I were so bold to say "Would you be mine?" Because I may be a beggar and you maybe the queen I know I maybe on a downer am still ready to dream Now it's Three o'clock the time is just the time it takes for you to talk So if you're lonely why'd you say your not lonely Oh your a silly girl, I know I hurt it so It's just like you to come And go and know me no you don't even know me Your so sweet to try, Oh my, you caught my eye A girl like you's just irresistible Well it's a big big city and the lights are all out But it's much as I can do you know to figure you out And I must confess, My hearts in broken pieces And my heards a mess And it's 4 in the morning, and I'm walking along Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong And it's you, woo hoo That's got me going crazy for the things you do So if your crazy I don't care you amaze me Oh your a stupid girl, oh me, oh my. you talk I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry And only, a girl like you could be lonely And it's a crying shame, of you would think the same A boy like me's just irresistible So if your lonely, why'd you say you're not lonely Oh your a silly girl, I know Ihurt it so It's just like you to come and go And know me, no you don't even know me Your so sweet to try oh me, you caught me eye A girl like you's just irresistible

Just because she feeds me well
And she made me talk dirty in a pink hotel
Doesn't mean she's got eyes for me
She might just want my bones, you see
Hey, Flathead, don't you get mean
She's the second best killer that I have ever seen
They don't come much more sick than you
I could go on if you want me to
It's just so wrong, so very nice
I told you once, and you killed me twice
I saw you one time at the back of the club
Chewing on glass and a ticket stub
I heard they kicked the boy till he bled
Then stood and said, 'oh my god' till she said
'Bara bap bara ra ra bara bap bara ra ra ra.'
Everybody knows you're the one to call
When the girls get ugly at the back of the wall
Josephine says you got a bleeding nose
So taking it with her wherever she goes
Hey, Flathead, don't check me in
Well, hers is a tonic and mine is a gin
They don't come much more slick than you
I'd drive your car if you asked me to
Said the boy's not right in the head
So he stood and got a kicking instead till she said
'Bara bap bara ra ra bara bap bara ra ra ra.'

Henrietta we got no flowers for you
Just these three miserable cunts
Sitting on the back seat banging on the off beat
We know you love us and you probably do
Although you`re husband may cut us
He`s such an animal though everything is possible

Give us a kiss and maybe we can go out
It`s hard to miss you when you follow us about
Buy us some shoes and maybe take us for cola
We`ll get you there in some filthy big gondola

Clean out the bank and bump off your daddy
You can come live with us among the
Has beens and the addicts
These are crazy times down at Costello music
You can answer the phone and talk nice
Anyway you choose it, come on

Dear Henrietta we`re just three lonely boys
Though the girls love us we`re so
Into you incredibly we`d love to see you terribly
We`d love to hate you but we don`t have no choice
Come be our wa ha ha ha
Honey, honey three four one time once more

Give us a kiss and maybe we can go out
It`s hard to miss you when you follow us about
Buy us some shoes and maybe take us for cola
We`ll get you there in some filthy big gondola

Clean out the bank and bump off your daddy
You can come live with us among the
Has beens and the addicts
These are crazy times down at Costello music
You can answer the phone and talk nice
Anyway you choose it, come on

(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)

Life is the same
And it always will be
Easy as picking foxes from a tree

(Heh heh heh)

But I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action

(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)

A stud is a lamb
With the thoughts of a tiger

(Heh heh heh)

Who moves like a cat
And knows how to ride her

(Heh heh heh)

But I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action, baby

(Heh heh heh)

Stroll on
I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action

(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)

A woman from the east with her headlights shining

(Heh heh heh)

Eased my pain and stopped my crying

(Heh heh heh)

But I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action, baby

(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)

And all my hair will keep her smiling
With my wondrous walk and my telephone dialing
But I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action, baby

(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)

I know you're shrewd and she's a dude
But all I want is easy action
I know you're shrewd and she's a dude
But all I want is easy action
I know you're shrewd and she's a dude
But all I want is easy action, baby

(Heh heh heh)

Stroll on

(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)
