Live and Kickin' lyrics

What's it like to be loved
It's a worn out faded picture
Showing you the secrets of your youth
Did you feel
Was it real
It's a game that's made for children
Win or lose you pay your dues tomorrow
Love and life is happiness and sorrow

I waited so long just to be alone
Tonight we're gonna make it
Really gonna break it
Sweet sweet lover gonna bring it home
Tonight we're gonna make it

American lady
Good old american child
American lady
Good old american child
I've been around every single town - london to tokyo
I've seen the world from inside out
And what i want to know
Whare did all those good times go
Where can we play our rock 'n' roll
I am going home again
Stateside is where i'm bound

American lady
Good old american child
American lady

Now I'm done playing with fools
And I've paid all my childhood dues
I find the mountain much steeper to climb
Am I just one of the crowd?
I decided a few days ago
There's no room. Room for me in this show
I changed my make-up completely this time
Now I'm not one...one of the crowd

So good-bye. Good-bye blind eyes
I'm gonna find me a cat's eye
Good-bye. Good-bye blind eyes

And when you see her you fell the pain
It won't hurt you half as much as I do
You know I do
She'll take your money, and make you pay
It won't cost you half as much as I do
You know I do
Buyer buyer
Your twisted soul
Liar liar
Can't resist keeping you whole
Flyer flyer
You think you're so high
Try 'er try 'er
You'll find out she's telling you lies
But not half as much as me

Well since my baby left me
I've found a new place to dwell
It's down the end of Lonely Street - Heartbreak Hotel
You leave me so lonely baby
You leave me so lonely
You leave me so lonely I could die
I could die
Are you lonely
Like I'm lonely

The joint's always crowded, but still they find some room
For broken hearted lovers to cry away their gloom
You leave me so lonely baby

It won't be long now until that old sun goes down
And up those stairs I hide my shameful tears
'Cos I work all night long
For a man who's half way gone
I'm the barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
And it's a shame
I wear the name
Of a man who's now been chained
To a bottle that destroys all hopes and cares
To a man with lonely eyes
I work and hide my pride

(Gilder)
Aaah! Aah! Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!
Roxy Roller Roxy might turn some heads tonight
Flash light streamin'
Peaches and cream delight
Roxy Roller
Five pound job she gets bubblegum on her knees
Down between the seats sometimes she'll pass you her key
Roxy Roller
Ooh Roxy Roller
Aaah! Aah! Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!
Daddy-O Commissioner took far more than his share

[Spoken:]
"This song is dedicated to all you 16 year-old girls out there.
You know when all those boys come around asking you all for a date
You just got to sit back and be cool and tell 'em one thing".
You keep a-knockin, but you can't come in
You keep a-knockin, but you can't come in
You keep a-knockin, but you can't come in
Come back tomorrow night and try it again

Way down in Texas, down around San Antone
Stay's a little lovely
Sweeter than you've ever known
Don't let me hear that sweet kid's name
Get your hands on me and I'll drive you insane
So tear me apart if you want to win my heart
Tear me apart if you want to win my heart

Well I've been seen in the back of a limousine
I may not own it, but it's bigger than you've ever seen

Well you call your mamma tiger
And we all know you are lying
And your boyfriend's name is eagle
And he lives up in the sky (high high)
Watch out the tiger don't go claw the eagle's eye
But let the eagle take the tiger by surprise
Scratch out her eyes
So make a stand for your man, honey
Try to can the can
Put your man in the can, honey
Get him while you can
Can the can
Can the can

Born in the world of a fifty-dollar dream
Tailor-made coat with a straight back seam
Just can't resist the twilight life of a queen
Takin' pocket money givin' shady secrets back
Soft-spoken sillhouette is part of the act
Mother's undertaker wouldn't dig you a hole in the wall

[Chorus:]
Glycerine Queen fightin' hard to win
Glycerine Queen, Glycerine Queen

Ooh la la ooh la la

You've done it all
You've broken every code
And pulled a rebel to the floor
You've scored again
No matter what you say
Eroded metal - what a bore
Oh blue eyes blue eyes
How come you tell so many lies
Oh oh come up and see me
Make me smile
I'll do what you want
Run on wild

There's nothing left
I've gone and run away
Maybe you'll tarry for a while

[Spoken:]
"All my life I've wanted to be somebody, and here I am.
I know what I've got, and there ain't nobody gonna take it away from me.
So let me tell ya what I am!"
I'm a red-hot fox. I can take the knocks
I'm a hammer from hell. Honey, can't you tell?
I'm the wild one. Yes, I'm the wild one
I'm a touched-up freak on a winning streak
I'm gonna own this town. You can't hold me down

[Spoken:]
"Hey, you all want to go down to Devil Gate Drive?
Well, come on"!

"Welcome to 'The Dive'!"
Well, at the age of five they can do their jive
Down in Devil Gate Drive
And at the age of six they're gonna get their kicks
Down in Devil Gate Drive
Well your mama don't know where your sister done go
She gone down to the Drive. She's the start of the show
