Good Golly, said little Miss Molly

When she was rockin' in the house of blue light

Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty

When she was rockin' to the east and west

Lucille was oh so real

When she didn't do her daddies will

Come on baby, drive me crazy--do it, do it

I'm a speed king you go to hear me sing

I'm a speed king see me fly

Saturday night and I just got paid

Gonna fool about ain't gonna save

Some people gonna rock some people gonna roll

Gonna have a party to save my soul

Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man

They been causing trouble since it all began

Take a little rice take a little beans

Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans

Gotta black breast Chinese eyes

Got an English brain that's gonna make me wise

Got a long story that I wanna tell

To a rhythm that I know so well

Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give

Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live

I tried another but she didn't want to know

Take a hold now if you can

Take a lesson from a hard lovin' man

I'm a long way from where I wanna go

Guess I'll stay awhile I really love you so

How's about another sip of all the wine you got

Take a tip from me and give it here I'll drink the lot

I'm not a winey, I'm a puttin' on a show

You really really grab me but I've gotta move

Before they know I'm here and spread the news

Maybe in while when I've moved around

I can find a way to pay you back your twenty pounds

Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give

Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live

I tried another but she didn't want to know

Sweet child in time you'll see the line

The line that's drawn between the good and the bad

See the blind man shooting at the world

Bullets flying taking toll

If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have

And you've not been hit by flying lead

You'd better close your eyes and bow your head

And wait for the ricochet

Spread the word around

The rat is leaving town

The message is a song

The misery is gone

Once I had a dream

To sing before the queen

She didn't want to know

She wouldn't see the show

What a fright

I couldn't do it right

Oh what a night

Mystic demons fly

All about the sk

With memories of a clown

The saddest show in town

When I was seventeen

Me mother said to me

Be careful what you touch

You shouldn't take so much

I blew my mind

She was so kind

I could have cried

In my mind

I had to fin

A kind of new way

Of being oh so cool

Like a blue blooded

Well studded

English fool

Speak about the past

Times are changing fast

Once I was so weak

I couldn't even speak

Shaking put a curse

Nothing could be worse

Walking through the door

Who could ask for more

Now I'm free

And I can see

That I am me

Spread the word around

The rat is leaving town

The message is a song

The misery is gone

Shaking out a curse

Nothing could be worse

Walking through the door

Who could ask for more

Now I'm free

And I can see

That I am me

Please stay away

Take the trouble to decide the things you do

Will not be the things that don't appeal to you

See the mess your makin' can't you see your fakin'

Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna--into the fire

Turn on the mandrake that was given to you

See if you can make it like the others do

Feel the blood a knockin' when you're finger poppin'

Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna--into the fire

Stop your bleeding mind before it's over and done

Listen very closely to the message I've sung

Feel the blood a knockin' when you're finger poppin'

Gonna get a message through, you're gonna--into the fire

You came along for a weekend

But you only stayed for one night

You pulled off your hair

You took out your teeth

Oh I almost died of fright

You'd better do something for your own sake

Yes it's a shame

Ah you know you're a living wreck

You said you were a virgin

Full of promise and mystery

But I know that you

Would bring me down

'Cos everyone calls you big G

You'd better do something for your own sake

Yes it's a shame

Ah you know you're a living wreck

Break my back with hard lovin'

Take my hand and keep movin'

Don't slow down we're nearly there now

Oh can you stand the pain

I'm a hard lovin' man

What's your name? It's alright now

Trick or treat we're uptight now

Wanna feel ya I wanna hear ya

Oh here we go again

I'm a hard lovin' man

Come back here it's not over

Can't you see there's still time girl

I can last make if fast now

Oh gotta catch a train

I'm a hard lovin' man
