Blow Up Your Video (1988)

Gettin' ready to rock, gettin' ready to roll
Gonna turn up the heat, gonna fire up the coal
I gotta keep that motor turnin'
I gotta keep that engine clean
I gotta keep those tyres burnin'
I've got the best you've ever seen

Cause I'm a heatseeker, chargin' up the sky
Heatseeker, and I, don't need no life preserver
Don't need no one to hose me down
To hose me down

Getting ready to break, get ready to go
Get your shoes off an' shake, get your head down and blow
Ya gotta keep that woman firin'
You gotta keep that circuit clean
You gotta make her sound the siren
You gotta hear that lady scream

Cause I'm a heatseeker, burnin' up the town
Heatseeker, I don't, I don't need no life preserver
Don't need no one to hose me down
To hose me down, here it comes

Heatseeker

Wanna see you get up, see the whites of your eyes
I'm a heatseeker
I'm gonna measure you, gonna try you for size
I'm a heatseeker

Ya gotta keep that motor turnin'
Ya gotta keep that engine clean
Ya gotta keep those tyres burnin'
I got the best you've ever seen
I'm a heatseeker
I don't need no life preserver
Don't need no one to hose me down

I'm a heatseeker, I'm a heatseeker, heatseeker

Out on the street feel the heat

I'm gonna roll roll roll, I'm gonna roll roll roll
I'm gonna take this town turn it around
I'm gonna roll roll roll

Now there's a blue suede boppin' on her high heel shoe
Rollin' round together like a wreckin' crew
Be bop lulla baby what I say
You gotta get a dose of rock and rollin' each and every day

We're gonna roll roll roll, we're gonna roll roll roll
We're gonna take this town, turn it around
We're gonna roll roll roll

I'm gonna blow up my video, shut down my radio
Told boss man where to go, turned off my brain control
That's the way I wanna rock and roll
That's the way I wanna rock and roll
That's the way

That's the way I wanna rock and roll
That's the way I wanna rock and roll
That's the way, that's the way

Roll, roll, roll, I got roll, roll, roll, roll
I'm gonna take this town turn it around
I'm gonna roll roll roll
I gotta roll, that's the way I want it
I'm gonna take this town turn it around
I'm gonna roll roll roll

Blow up my video, shut down my radio
Told boss man where to go, turned off my brain control

That's the way I wanna rock and roll
That's the way I wanna rock and roll

That's the way I wanna rock and roll

Animal, animal
Cannibal, cannibal
See 'em fall, see 'em fall
I'm the guy that they call, meanstreak
I got a meanstreak, meanstreak, they call me meanstreak

I just don't know, who I wanna be
The count of Monte Cristo or the Sheik of Arabi
I've eaten rich, an' I've eaten free
I'm the perfect culture vulture in the face of poverty
An' I ain't met no one who told me I got class
They say never feed the animal, the boys got too much flash
I'm a guy, they just can't teach
And I always kick the castle that's been built up on the beach

Animal, animal
Cannibal, cannibal
See 'em fall, see 'em fall
I'm the guy that they call

What's your name, meanstreak

I got a meanstreak, I got a meanstreak
I got a meanstreak, I got a meanstreak
They call me meanstreak
Meanstreak, what's my name
Meanstreak

To the go zone, ready to fly
In the go zone, standin' up high
In the go zone, down on the block
In the go zone, ready to rock
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down in the go zone

Got to have my candy, gotta have my sugar sweet
I wanna give you a treat
Givin' you directions, you don't have to use your feet
We're on the same street baby
You gotta travel south, south of my hungry mouth
An' there you'll find a friend, until the bitter end

To the go zone, ready to fly
In the go zone, standin' up high
In the go zone, down on the block
In the go zone, ready to rock
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down in the go zone

What are you gonna find down there
Ain't no red light to stop you

Get yourself a ticket
To the go zone, ready to fly
In the go zone, standin' up high
In the go zone, down on the block
In the go zone, ready to rock
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down
In the go zone

Like a fireball in the shadow
Like a storm that's gonna show
Like an overwound volcano
Gettin' set to blow, set to blow
She got a nasty reputation
She got a healthy appetite
When she need some detonation
She set the fuse alight, the fuse alight

Feel like kissin' dynamite, feel like kissin' dynamite
Feel like kissin' dynamite, feel like kissin' dynamite

Let it rain, let it rain
Let me feel it pour
Let it slide, let it slide
Let me feel the core

Like the thunder in the mountains
Like the lightnin' in the sky
Like the eye of a tornado
She watch it all go by, all go by
And she come for recreation
And she play her games at night
She wanna work on her vocation
She set the world alight, set world alight

Feel like kissin' dynamite, feel like kissin' dynamite
Feel like kissin' dynamite, feel like kissin' dynamite

Feel like kissin' dynamite, feel like kissin' dynamite
Feel like kissin' dynamite, feel like kissin' dynamite

Feel like kissin' dynamite, feel like kissin' dynamite
Feel like kissin' dynamite, feel like kissin' dynamite

Everybody tryin' to find you guilty
Make you wanna toe the line
Saved by, saved in the nick of time
I was saved in the nick of time

Slow plane, hard rain, cold sweat and he show the strain
Look down, no ground, black sky just the engine sound
Bail out, goodbye, take my chances I don't wanna die
Count 10, just pray, the nick of time can save me any day
What you gonna do

Everybody love a hero honey
Livin' on a danger line
Saved by, saved in the nick of time
Saved in the nick of time

Lose sleep, get grief, short day an' gettin' no relief
Quick punch, closed eye, you didn't do it an' you wonder why
Lynch mob, on your tail
Think they were searchin' for the holy grail
Leave town, got away, I didn't figure on them anyway
No I didn't

Everybody trying to find you guilty
Make you wanna toe the line
Saved by, saved in the nick of time
In the nick of time, in the nick of time

Saved in the nick of time

Some sin for gold, some sin for shame
Some sin for cash, some sin for gain
Some sin for wine, some sin for pain
But I ain't gonna be the fool who's gonna have to
Sin for nothin', nothin' at all

Nero, evil mind
He was born way before his time
Heat on, down below
You get it right and away you go
You gotta lay down the rules, push up the price
Turn on the heat, put you on ice
Dealers looking 'round, wheel is turning round
Coming round for you

Some sin for gold, some sin for shame
Some sin for cash, some sin for gain
Some sin for wine, some sin for pain
But I ain't gonna be the fool who's gonna have to
Sin for nothin'
Ain't gonna sin for nothin'
You get nothing for nothing
Ain't gonna sin for nothin'
It don't make no sense

She's a saint, she's a sinner, she's a rave rave rave
She's a one, she's a winner, every way way way
She don't want love, no cabaret that's out
She like to play it wild, that suits me fine
I like it better when she read my mind
Don't want no woman with a ball and chain
Don't wanna play that game

Just gimme that ruff stuff, I wanna ruff stuff
Baby gimme ruff stuff, if ya don't want ruff stuff
Don't wantcha face round here

Make ya shake, make ya shiver, make you pray pray pray
Gonna make you quake, and make you quiver, turn ya grey grey grey
I don't need brakes, they slow me down too much
They keep me outta touch, they lock me in
I like it better when I pull the pin
And I don't want no woman with a ball and chain
Don't wanna play that game

Just gimme that ruff stuff, I want ruff stuff
Baby gimme ruff stuff, if ya don't want ruff stuff
Don't wantcha face round here

I like 'em big, and I like 'em small
And if they ask me to take an oath, I would take them all
Gimme that ruff stuff

Gimme that ruff stuff, I want ruff stuff
Baby gimme ruff stuff, gimme that ruff stuff
Ruff stuff baby, gimme ruff stuff
Ruff stuff
Don't wantcha face round here

I go, you go, she go, we go, Two's up, two's up
Gimme head, gimme tails, gimme double up an' comin'
Doubled over on the rails
Gimme two's up, that's what I want

High up, when you're lookin' down
Then you see two animals just foolin' you around
Stray dogs, gonna take them in
Don't know what your names are
Where you're goin', and where ya been
All day, it's difficult to say, who is doin'
What was doing what to do, who's callin' out the play
I love, the way you slide an' slip
I like the way you girls work out
And make the partnership, make that partnership

I go, you go, she go, we go, Two's up, two's up
Gimme head, gimme tails, gimme double up an' comin'
Doubled over on the rails
Gimme gimme double or quits

Two's up, two's up, I like your partnership
Like the way you slip
Ain't nothing like a two's up, that's the way it is
Gimme head, gimme tails, gimme double up an' comin'
Over the rails, slow combustion
Gimme head, gimme you
Gimme twice the satisfaction
Twice as far to go
Two's up, gonna be two's up
Two's up, two's up

Ain't nothing like a two's up

When the flags are high, hear the battle cry
And the treaty gone, see the bandits fly
Dig the trench, watch the blast
Shell shock come, coming fast

Name and rank, on parade
We might get laid by a hand grenade
Do you know what it means, do you know what it means
This means war

This means war, this means war, this means war
I said this means war, this means war
This means war

I, I need you, I need you to, I need you to fire
Cock your gun, wet your sights
Get the bull, dead to rights
Volunteers, one pace back
On the beach, ain't no place for kids

Well the flack is high, on a bomber run
You don't talk back, to an ack ack gun
In the fire rage, and you're in the blitz
Better keep your head or you're blown to bits

Name and rank, on parade
We might get laid by a hand grenade
Do you know what it means, do you know what it means
This means war

Who go there, is it a friend or foe
Propaganda time, on the radio
Top brass shout, as they clown around
And the peace talks die in Geneva town

Do you know what it means, do you know what it means
Do you know what it means, do you know what it means

This means war, this means war
I said this means war, this means war
This means war

This means war, this means war
I said this means war, this means war
This
Means
War
