Iggy Pop lyrics
Album: Skull Ring [2003]
| Little Electric Chair | |
|
You didn't mean to do it
But you did it again
The night started out
Fuckin' around with your friends
Somebody screamed and thingd went bad
Now you're standing accused
And the prosectuor says you should be dead
And they're fryin'up your hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up your hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up your hair
In that little electric chair
Fryin' up your hair
In that little electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Easy street is nice in a lawless nation
The police puts some flyers in circulation
Stuck one in my door with some scary mugshot
They're looking for some bad boys
Height, weight, age, race, tatoos too
But they're fryin'up that hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up some hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up some hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up that hair
In that little electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
The people are quietly lusting for blood
They wanna live in peace but they don't wanna budge
From their lazy ways and lazy notions
If the other half's win
Let' em eat pigeons
And live in prison
And they're fryin'up that hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up some hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up that hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up some hair
In that little electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair

| Perverts in the Sun | |
|
(feat. The Trolls)
The USA is movin' south
Our power is mostly mouth
Miami beach to Malibu
Hot weather makes'em wanna screw
Shemales, jumps bails
Weird tales on the scales
If it fails chip'n dale
Hit the gym in animal skin
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Fruit punch
Go to crunch
Take a pill
Lose your will
Get a job, in street promotion
Pushing handbills on the ocean
Gang fights all night
Garbages can's got a tan
Rich men and hungry chicks
Stick'em in the blender - hey big spender !
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
O.J, O.J, Jose Sammy too, got nothin' to do
The realtor hit the floor
He's disgusted
Wants to get'em all busted
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
You guys are perverts
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone

| Skull Ring | |
|
(feat. The Stooges)
Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Money
Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Fancy things
The touch of a hand in the wasteland
you're walking asleep and dreaming cheap
A bird's wing don't beat for free
You're freezing cold and your family
Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Money
Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Fancy things
Fingers on fire to do what's bad
Ring on the finger is a skull man
Strong as a bar of steel
Weakness is that you can't feel
Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Money
Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Fancy things
My life is dirtied, my mind is loaded
I'm feeling and breathing and fighting
To see
People get ready now
Baby come on give your heart to me
Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Money
Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Fancy things

| Superbabe | |
|
(feat. The Trolls)
I made love to a superbabe
I kinda wondered how I did
It may be pointless to describe her
But she has the power of gravity
She used a voodoo force on me
Big tits high ass
Long legs flat stomach
Helped her cover all my dreams with sleep
She's using mojo energy
Snake hips full lips
Strong things green eyes
Superbabe
White teeth fresh meat
Just like the TV
Superbabe
She's got the wild stuff
Makes love for good luck
Superbabe
Dont miss with her kiss
Won't duck from a woaaaw
Superbabe
Superbabe
I made love to a superbabe
So tell me what else could I do
Untill I couldn't do no more
Or even know what for
Forever and a day
I'm gonna jump on superbabe
Fame, drugs and money cannot save me
And evils everywhere
But here comes superbabe
She's USA prime all the way
One two three four
Who the fuck are we for
Superbabe
Five six seven eight
I can relate superbabe
Don't miss with her kiss
Won't duck from a woaaaw
Superbabe
She's got the wild stuff
Makes love for good luck
Superbabe
Superbabe
Superbabe
Fame, drugs and money cannot save me
Superbabe
Superbabe
It may be pointless to describe her
Superbabe
Superbabe

| Loser | |
|
(feat. The Stooges)
Allright
The feet in my boots
Are shaking their roots
For a reason
I'm looking at you
And you're too much to chew
For a reason
And the problems you got
Are the problems you got
For a reason
And what you are not
Is what you are not
For a reason
There's a decadent home
Where there should be control
I can't live anymore
There's a festering truth
Where there should be the truh
I can't live anymore
You wanna blame me
But you got misery
For a reason
And the way that you lose
Is the way that you chose
For a reason
And if this is a slam
I don't give a damn
For a reason
Cuz the point of this song
Is I'm moving along
For a reason
There's a bottomless pit
And you've got me in it
I can't live anymore
You're a tower of a cruel
And I feel a fool
I can't take it anymore
You're a loser
You're a loser
You're a loser
You're a loser
You're a loser
For a reason
You're a loser
The feet in my boots
Are shaking their roots
For a reason
For a reason
For a reason
For a reason

| Private Hell | |
|
(feat. Green Day)
I have a private hell
Of excellent quality
I've dwelt there for years
Playing with my fears
It's tastefull, luxurious,
And full of sexuality
And though they are tears
I controll them with my gears
Well all in all,
I must tell you,
Well I must tell you,
I'm so proud of my private hell
Anger and greed brew
And then they stamped
Till I can transmute
Them into more loot
It's tastefull, luxurious,
And full of sexuality
And though they are tears
I controll them with my gears
Well all in all,
I must tell you,
Well I must tell you,
I'm so proud of my private hell
Well all in all,
I must tell you,
Well I must tell you,
I'm so proud of my private hell

| Little Know It All | |
|
I'm a kid that no one knows,
I live a life I never chose,
But these thoughts in my mind,
Are my own, my own...
I'm face to face with the unknown,
My scary movie will be shown,
I've got one evil mind,
Of my own, of my own...
We take from one and other,
And never stop to wonder,
How it feels on the other side,
But nothing lasts forever,
When stupid turns to clever,
Why are you surprised?
Little know it all... (little know it all...)
Ten bucks in my hand,
Little know it all... (little know it all...)
Don't cry, I understand...
I'm a target of the smart,
They got ambition,
I got heart,
I'm analyzed and tagged,
Before I start...
So tell me who can I respect,
I feel the leash round my neck,
As I find out there's shame,
In the game...
We take from one and other,
And never stop to wonder,
How it feels on the other side,
But nothing lasts forever,
When stupid turns to clever,
Why are you surprised?
That I feel like...
I'm caught outside the box...
And I feel like...
I'm sleeping when I'm not...
We take from one and other,
And never stop to wonder,
How it feels on the other side,
But nothing lasts forever,
When stupid turns to clever,
Why are you surprised?
Little know it all... (little know it all...)
Ten bucks in my hand...
Little know it all... (little know it all...)
Don't cry, I understand...
You'll never know it all... (little know it all...)
Ten bucks in my hand...
Little know it all... (little know it all...)
Don't cry, I understand...
You'll never know it all...

| Whatever | |
|
(feat. The Trolls)
I'm sittin' like a stone
On a solitary evening
Without my girl
Life has no meaning
She didn't say why
And she didn't say what for
she just said "I've been thinking it over"
And whatever,
Whatever
Whatever
She doesn't want to play
And her voice just fades away
Whatever
The solution to love
I haven't found yet
Does God have curlers and a
Lairnet
Everything I say comes out
To be a no no
The feelings I had were the
Only promo
Whatever
Whatever
Whatever
She doesn't want to play
And her voice just fades away
Whatever
Now I'm just one of the Joes
On the corner
I guess I ought to stay home
And watch the porno
I wanna get close
But no one
Will let me
I wish someone would react out
A and get me
Whatever
Whatever
Whatever
She doesn't want to play
And her voice just fades
She doesn't want to play
And her face just fades
She doesn't want to play
And her touch just fades away
Whatever
Whatever
Whatever

| Dead Rock Star | |
|
(feat. The Stooges)
They think that I've got the bread
They want to read my head
The position show his cool
Like football star in school
Someone to sell me
Someone to tell me
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star
I'm so afraid of failing
I hang onto the railing
This cold hard graduation
Kills all infatuation
I took the hazing
They said "amazing"
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star
I gathered awful knowledge
You cannot get in college
Would you like Cain or Abel
I'll bring them to the table
They try to rope me
They try to grope me
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star
What can I hope for ?
What can I hope for ?
Nothing to live for
Nothing to live for
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star

| Rock Show | |
|
(feat. Peaches)
Rockshow
You came to see a rockshow
A big gigantic cock show
You came to see it all
Rock show
You came to hear it
You came to sear it
You came to do it all
If you think you're gonna
Get it for credit
Forget it
Don't bet
Call the medic
He's pathetic
He's got to let it go
Let's go
Rock show
Come on
Rock show
You came to see a rock show
This isn't a fuckin' talk show
You came to see it all
Rock show
You came to fear it
You came to sear it
You came to do it all
It's me you want for credit
Forget it
Don't panic
Call in the medic
He's pathethic
He's got to let it go
Cause if you gonna get it
For credit
Forget it
Don't bet it
Call in the medic
It's pathetic
He's gonna let it go
Let's go
Rock show
Come on
Rock show
Let's go
Rock show
Let's go
Rock show

| Til Wrong Feels Right | |
|
I took a poundin'
From the radio today
I heard the radio say some piece of shit
Was it the sound of today ?
I took a bitin' 'beating'
When I saw my TV play, I saw my TV play
Over and over
And there were no escape
The box is hallow
And that riff is fucking dead,
That riff is fucking dead,
But the riff is poundin'
In my fucking head
They're gonna push it
Untill false is true
Untill day is night
They're gonna push it baby
Untill wrong feels right
Untill wrong feels right
It's a big industry
And they can beat my brain
With houses and wars and chains
They are insane
Yeah
But they can beat my brain
God and his captains
They won't pull a fucking plug
They won't pull a fucking plug
And give the skies
Back to the birds and bugs
