ALL THE YOUNG DUDES (LIVE)
(Bowie)
found on Ian Hunter's Best of One Bitten Twice Shy
featuring Ian on vocals. Lyrics thanks to riffola.com.
Well Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he kick it in the head when he was twenty-five
Speed jive don't want to stay alive
When you're twenty-five
And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
And Freddy's got spots from ripping off the stars from his face
Funky little boat race
Television man is crazy saying we're juvenile delinquent wrecks (O oh o o oh)
Oh man I need TV when I got T Rex
Oh brother you guessed
I'm a dude dad
All the young dudes (Hey dudes)
Carry the news (Are you still around?)
Boogaloo dudes (Let's have a little go)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (I want to hear you)
Carry the news (I want to feel you)
Boogaloo dudes (And I want to talk to you all of you)
Carry the news
Now Lucy looks sweet 'cause he dresses like a queen
But he can kick like a mule it's a real mean teen
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 (snags)
Now I've drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine
I gotta race some cat to bed (O oh o o oh)
Oh is there concrete all around
Or is it in my head
Oh brother you guessed
Yeah
I'm a dude dad
All the young dudes (Hey dudes)
Carry the news (How you doin'? Alright?)
Boogaloo dudes (Come on Hysteria!)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (I want to hear you)
Carry the news (I want to see you)
Boogaloo dudes (And I want to feel you)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (What dudes)
Carry the news (Let's hear the news come on)
Boogaloo dudes (Blind Tigers)
Carry the news (fuckin' hell)
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Come on, come on, come on
KISS THE DAY
(Savage/Collen/Elliott/Campbell/Allen)
found as a bonus track on the Japanese and UK versions of X.
These are the days we throw away
Words we never say
"I'm so fragile, and so wrong"
And we’re still knocking on the door
Of a world that’s gone before
Until the real thing comes along
Kiss the day, on it’s way
And the sun will never shine
In your eyes like the skies
And the darkness will arise
Kiss the day, and await
To hold you in it’s arms
And the light will never fade
Kiss the day
And now I’ve seen enough to know
Though the truth can leave you cold
It can always lead you home
Back to the place where we belong
To the time when we were strong
When we could blow away the storm
Kiss the day, on it’s way
And the sun will never shine
In your eyes like the skies
And the darkness will arise
Kiss the day, and await
To hold you in it’s arms
And the light will never fade
Kiss the day, kiss the day
These are the days we throw away
Words we never say
Till the real thing comes along
Kiss the day, on it’s way
And the sun will never shine
In your eyes like the skies
And the darkness will arise
Kiss the day, and await
To hold you in it’s arms
And the light will never fade
Kiss the day
STAY WITH ME
(Wood/Stewart)
found as an extra track to the second "Now" CD single
In the mornin' don't say you love me
'Cause I'll only kick you out of the door
I know your name is Rita
'Cause your perfume's smells sweeter
Since when I saw you down on that floor, guitar
You won't need too much pursuadin'
I don't mean to sound degradin'
But with a face like that
You got nothin' to laugh about
Red lips, hair, and fingernails
I hear you're a mean old Jezebel
Let's go up stairs and read my Tarot cards, c'mon honey
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you're gonna stay with me, oh yeah
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you're gonna stay with me, c'mon, one more
So, in the mornin', please don't say you love me
'Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door
Yeah, I'll pay your cab fare home
You can even use my best cologne
But don't be here in the mornin' when I wake up>
C'mon yeah, stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you're gonna stay with me
Sit down, get up, get out
Stay with me, stay with me
'Cause tonight you're gonna stay with me
Hey, what's your name again, ow
Oh no, get up, c'mon, hey
Get yourself home
So long, ohohoh, oh

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's all right
Hey babe, let's go out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing, and we look divine
You love bands when they play it hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on
Rebel rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel rebel, how could they know
Hot tramp, I love you so
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's all right
Hey babe, let's stay out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing, and we look divine
You love bands when they play it hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on
Rebel rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel rebel, how could they know
Hot tramp, I love you so
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know
Hot tramp, I love you so
You've torn your dress, your face is a mess
You can't get enough, but enough ain't the test
You gotcha transmission and your live wire
You gotcha cue lines and a handful of ludes
You wanna be there when they count up the dues
And I love your dress, you're a juvenile success
Rebel rebel
'Cause your face is a mess
So how could they know
I said, how could they know
Rebel rebel
To what you wanna know
Calamity's child, chi-chi, chi-chi
Rebel rebel
Where'd you wanna go
Can I do for you, looks like you've been there too
'Cause you've torn your dress
Rebel rebel
And your face is a mess
Rebel rebel
Ooo, your face is a mess
Ooo, ooo, so how could they know
Ah, ah, how could they know
10 X BIGGER THAN LOVE
(Elliott/Collen/Campbell/Savage/Allen)
found as a b-side on the CD single of "Long, Long Way To Go"
I lost my heart to infatuation
You can't cure that with a vaccination
A bad blood is pumping through my veins
I can't slow down, livin' life in the fast lane
Your body language, it's telepathic
I'm caught up in the middle of a two-way traffic
Wondering if this is the impossible dream
Or whether we could make such a beautiful team
I don't know what to do when I get this feeling
I don't know what it is but it stops me breathin'
A little white lie that you got to believe in
Don't know what it is but it's ten times bigger than love
Intoxicated 'till I can't feel a thing
I feed my thirst on your unchained adrenaline
My body's shakin' like a man on the run
You blow my mind like sex and machine guns
I got scars and bloody knuckles
Diggin' for a diamond in a whole lotta trouble
You detonate me like a nuclear bomb
Wiped out and sleepin' with the TV on
I don't know what to do when I get this feeling
I don't know what it is but it stops me breathin'
A little white lie that you got to believe in
Don't know what it is but it's ten times bigger than …
Love is love, it ain't always right
Make you sweat, keep you up all night
Walkin' in with your eyes wide open
You're looking out on a lost horizon
Always something to knock you over
And make you feel like you're getting nowhere
If you can't stand up when you're on your knees
Then close your eyes and float up to the breeze
I've lost my heart but, hey, you can keep it
'Cause it ain't no good at keeping a secret
It's got me doing things that I'd never do
Another fine mess that it's gotten me into
I don't know what to do when I get this feeling
I don't know what it is but it stops me breathin'
A little white lie that you got to believe in
Don't know what it is, I don't know what it is
I don't know what to do when I get this feeling
I don't know what it is but it stops me breathin'
A little white lie that you got to believe in
Don't know what it is but it's ten times bigger than love
GIMME A JOB
(Elliott/Collen/Campbell/Savage/Allen)
found as a b-side on the DVD single of "Long, Long Way To Go"
I need a job, I need it right now
Not just any old job, but I need it right now
It's gotta be a good one, it's gotta last
Longer than the other ones in the past
I can work hard, I'll do my thing
Twenty-four/seven, anything, yeah
Gimme a job, my love is unemployed
Gimme a job, and my heart ain't overjoyed
Gimme a job, I don't mean to be paranoid
So come on over baby and gimme a job, oh yeah
I don't care if it pays no good
Just gimme some shelter and throw me some food
I can do the overtime and I won't strike
I'll sign on the dotted line, anything you like, yeah
Gimme a job, my love is unemployed
Gimme a job, and my heart ain't overjoyed
Gimme a job, I don't mean to sound paranoid
So come on over baby and gimme a job
I don't need no money to make my dream come true
I don't need anything, all I want is you
Ain't that the truth, uhhh
Gimme a job, my love is unemployed
Gimme a job, and my heart ain't overjoyed
Gimme a job, I don't mean to be paranoid
So come on over baby
Gimme a job, my love is on its knees
Gimme a job, if you want it, then baby, please
Gimme a job, get me out of this deep, deep freeze
So come on over baby and gimme a job
