J Geils Band Tribute EP

 Love Stinks

You love her but she loves him and he loves somebody else you just can't win
And so it goes until the day you die this thing they call love it's gonna make you cry
I've had the blues the reds and the pinks one thing for sure love stinks
Love stinks Love stinks

Two by two and side by side love's gonna find you you just can't hide 
You'll hear it call your heart will fall then love will fly
It's gone, that's all I don't care what any Casanova thinks all I can say is love stinks
Love stinks Love stinks

I've been through diamonds and I've been through minks I've been through it all
You love her but she loves him and he loves somebody else you just can't win
And so it goes until the day you die this thing they call love it's gonna make you cry
I've had the blues the reds and the pinks one thing for sure love stinks
I've been through diamonds and I've been through minks I've been through it all
Love stinks Love stinks

Centrefold

Come on does she walk does she talk does she come complete?
My homeroom homeroom angel always pulled me from my seat
She was pure like snowflakes no one could ever stain
The memory of my angel could never cause me pain
Years go by, I'm looking through a girly magazine
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in between
My blood runs cold my memory has just been sold my angel is the centrefold
My blood runs cold my memory has just been sold angel is the centrefold

Slipped me notes under the desk while I was thinking about her dress
I was shy, I turned away before she caught my eye
I was shaking in my shoes whenever she flashed those baby blues
Something had a hold on me when angel passed close by
Those soft, fuzzy sweaters too magical to touch
To see her in that negligee is really just too much
My blood runs cold my memory has just been sold my angel is the centrefold
My blood runs cold my memory has just been sold angel is the centrefold

Now listen it's okay, I understand this ain't no Never-Never Land
I hope that when this issue's gone I'll see you when your clothes are on
Take your car we will we'll take your car and drive it
We'll take it to a motel room and take them off in private
A part of me has just been ripped the pages from my mind are stripped
I can't deny it I guess I gotta buy it
My blood runs cold my memory has just been sold my angel is the centrefold
My blood runs cold my memory has just been sold angel is the centrefold

Piss On The Wall

Now, some people think the world is what it ain't to some I'm a sinner, to others a saint
Some folks say, the world ain't what it is all I know is I just got to take a wiz
But where am I going and where have I been
My head's in the clouds and my tail's in a spin
Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all
Then I bounce right back and take a piss on the wall

Politics, shmolitics, they ought to save their breath
A mean streak, a blue streak, they sentence me to death
Harangue me from a tree, twist and shout until I crawl
Do the flip, do the flop, but piss on the wall

Well, the Yanks hate the Reds and the Greeks hate the Turks
I really hate to say it, but they're all a bunch of jerks
Seems like everybody's shaking because the big one's about to fall
I'm just trying to hold it steady while I piss on the wall

You're Getting Even While I'm Getting Odd

My job was okay I thought I was cruising
Little did I know I was cruising for a bruising
Things were looking bad but with you I had the goods
I couldn't see the trees in love's deadly woods
I got smitten by a kitten at the Kit-Kat club
Before I hit the brakes I had hit the rub
You overheard me on the phone when I told her goodbye
I got creamed in the face with a reality pie
And now you're getting even while I've been getting odd
You're getting even while I'm getting odd

Now there's safety in numbers but I think my number's up
Subtract you from my life is like drinking with no cup
Now I'm getting wettish thinking about you, my great fetish
Like fishing without a rod I'm just sitting here getting odd
You say that I hurt you and it got you mad
You say that I burnt you now you're getting bad
I see you ain't joking and I want your bod
But now you're getting even while I've been getting odd

If I was an itch, would you bother to scratch?
If I was a pitch, would you bother to catch?
If I was peanut butter, would you be the jam?
If I was a door, would you give me a slam?
You've been getting even while I've been getting odd
You're getting even while I've been getting odd
Please come back, please come back I just got to have your bod
You're getting even while I've been getting odd
He never meant to hurt you that's the truth, I swear to God

Fright Night

Fright Night Fright Night 

People say I'm crazy and I make no sense
But they don't understand the man's got influence
He's a gigolo, a liar, a man of many faces
So don't be fooled by what you think you see
He's gonna make his move on you and me
Fright night who's it gonna be tonight lock your doors and windows tight
Soon you'll all believe I'm right we're all in for a most frightening night

Intuition tells me that it's time to blow
But my sense of danger tells me no
I've got to find a weakness to put an end to this
Can't you see he's tearing us apart?
I've got to drive a stake right through his heart
Fright night who's it gonna be tonight lock your doors and windows tight
Soon you'll all believe I'm right we're all in for a most frightening night

I look into the mirror and it's as black as night
I see it fall to pieces as my heart ignites
Just waiting for the moment for that connecting thrill
Don't make a move, we've got to keep real still
We're waiting here and we're dressed up to kill 
Fright night who's it gonna be tonight lock your doors and windows tight
Soon you'll all believe I'm right we're all in for a most frightening night

The Bite From Inside

It's all so sick it's all so sick
What kind of soap is used in a bloodbath what kind of darkness brings a killer sleep?
What kind of rain will fall in the aftermath what kind of harvest shall we reap?
Lying on the couch, in the glow of my TV there are several nations burning
If I looked, I'd start to see but look and you are guilty
Whip the dancer, watch her twirl white hats along the beach
Winning Kewpie Dolls for the girls
With every dirty deed, the jaws grow stronger
With every drop of blood, the tongue grows longer
Sleepless terror with no place to hide that's the bite from inside

Briefcases drawn and loaded these men travel in packs
Deciding mankind's future dropping good men in their tracks
It's deja-vu, a coup d'etat not for food or shelter
Just for good old moo-la-la life's candle, they will melt her
Sex and drugs and money that's the way it's always been
When they call the man with bullets the kiss-ass ass ass sin
Lying on the couch, in the glow of my TV
Remote control will set the station, but will never set you free
With every swallowed dream, the jaw grips tighter
With every ripped-up life, the teeth sink deeper
Sleepless terror with no place to hide that's the bite from inside
That's the bite, that's the bite that's the bite from inside it's all so sick

It's all so sick it's all so sick
What kind of soap is used in a bloodbath what kind of darkness brings a killer sleep?
What kind of rain will fall in the aftermath what kind of harvest shall we reap?
Lying on the couch, in the glow of my TV there are several nations burning
If I looked, I'd start to see but look and you are guilty
Whip the dancer, watch her twirl white hats along the beach
Winning Kewpie Dolls for the girls
With every dirty deed, the jaws grow stronger
With every drop of blood, the tongue grows longer
Sleepless terror with no place to hide that's the bite from inside
