Good Golly, said little Miss Molly 
When she was rockin' in the house of blue light 
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty 
When she was rockin' to the east and west 
Lucille was oh so real 
When she didn't do her daddies will 
Come on baby, drive me crazy--do it, do it 

I'm a speed king you go to hear me sing 
I'm a speed king see me fly 

Saturday night and I just got paid 
Gonna fool about ain't gonna save 
Some people gonna rock some people gonna roll 
Gonna have a party to save my soul 
Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man 
They been causing trouble since it all began 
Take a little rice take a little beans 
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans 

[repeat first two stanzas in inverse order] 
				

Gotta black breast Chinese eyes 
Got an English brain that's gonna make me wise 
Got a long story that I wanna tell 
To a rhythm that I know so well 
Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give 
Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live 
I tried another but she didn't want to know 

Take a hold now if you can 
Take a lesson from a hard lovin' man 
I'm a long way from where I wanna go 
Guess I'll stay awhile I really love you so 
How's about another sip of all the wine you got 
Take a tip from me and give it here I'll drink the lot 
I'm not a winey, I'm a puttin' on a show 

You really really grab me but I've gotta move 
Before they know I'm here and spread the news 
Maybe in while when I've moved around 
I can find a way to pay you back your twenty pounds 
Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give 
Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live 
I tried another but she didn't want to know 
				

Sweet child in time you'll see the line 
The line that's drawn between the good and the bad 
See the blind man shooting at the world 
Bullets flying taking toll 
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have 
And you've been hit by flying lead 
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head 
And wait for the ricochet 
				

Spread the word around 
The rat is leaving town 
The message is a song 
The misery is gone 

Once I had a dream 
To sing before the queen 
She didn't want to know 
She wouldn't see the show 

What a fright 
I couldn't do it right 
Oh what a night 

Mystic demons fly 
All about the sk 
With memories of a clown 
The saddest show in town 

When I was seventeen 
Me mother said to me 
Be careful what you touch 
You shouldn't take so much 

I blew my mind 
She was so kind 
I could have cried 

In my mind 
I had to fin 
A kind of new way 
Of being oh so cool 
Like a blue blooded 
Well studded 
English fool 

Speak about the past 
Times are changing fast 
Once I was so weak 
I couldn't even speak 

Shaking put a curse 
Nothing could be worse 
Walking through the door 
Who could ask for more 

Now I'm free 
And I can see 
That I am me 

Spread the word around 
The rat is leaving town 
The message is a song 
The misery is gone 

Shaking out a curse 
Nothing could be worse 
Walking through the door 
Who could ask for more 

Now I'm free 
And I can see 
That I am me 

Please stay away 
				

Take the trouble to decide the things you do 
Will not be the things that don't appeal to you 
See the mess your makin' can't you see your fakin' 
Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna--into the fire 

Turn on the mandrake that was given to you 
See if you can make it like the others do 
Feel the blood a knockin' when you're finger poppin' 
Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna--into the fire 

Stop your bleeding mind before it's over and done 
Listen very closely to the message I've sung 
Feel the blood a knockin' when you're finger poppin' 
Gonna get a message through, you're gonna--into the fire 
				

You came along for a weekend 
But you only stayed for one night 
You pulled off your hair 
You took out your teeth 
Oh I almost died of fright 
You'd better do something for your own sake 
Yes it's a shame 
Ah you know you're a living wreck 

You said you were a virgin 
Full of promise and mystery 
But I know that you 
Would bring me down 
'Cos everyone calls you big G 
You'd better do something for your own sake 
Yes it's a shame 
Ah you know you're a living wreck 
				

Break my back with hard lovin' 
Take my hand and keep movin' 
Don't slow down we're nearly there now 
Oh can you stand the pain 
I'm a hard lovin' man 

What's your name?  It's alright now 
Trick or treat we're uptight now 
Wanna feel ya I wanna hear ya 
Oh here we go again 
I'm a hard lovin' man 

Come back here it's not over 
Can't you see there's still time girl 
I can last make if fast now 
Oh gotta catch a train 
I'm a hard lovin' man
