Tenement Funster/Flick of the Wrist/Lily of the Valley (Queen covers)
Tenement Funster
My new purple shoes, bin' amazin' the people next door Any my new rock 'n roll 45's bin' enragin' the folks on the lower floor
I got a way with the girls on my block Try my best be a real individual And when we go down to Smokies and rock They line up like it's some kinda ritual
Oh give me a good guitar, and you can say that my hair's a disgrace Or, just give me an open car, I'll make the speed of light outta this place
I like the good things in life But most of the best things ain't free And this same situation, just cuts like a knife When you're young, and you're poor, and you're crazy
But oh, Oh give me a good guitar, and you can say that my hair's a disgrace Or, just give me an open car, I'll make the speed of light outta this place
===========================
Flick of the Wrist
Dislocate your spine if you don't sign he says I'll have you seeing double Mesmerize you when he's tongue-tied Simply with those eyes Synchronize your minds and see The beast within him rise
Don't look back Don't look back It's a rip-off Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby Blow him a kiss and you're mad Flick of the wrist- he'll eat you're heart out A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head He's taken an arm and taken a leg All this time honey Baby you've been had.
Intoxicate your brain with what I'm saying If not you'll lie in knee-deep trouble Prostitute yourself he says Castrate your human pride Sacrifice your leisure days Let me squeeze you till you've dried
Don't look back Don't look back It's a rip-off
Work my fingers to the bones I scream with pain I still make no impression Sedice you with his money-make machine Cross-collateralize, (big-time money, money) Reduce you to a muzak-fake machine Then the last goodbye It's a rip off
Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby Blow him a kiss and you're mad Flick of the wrist- he'll eat you're heart out A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head He's taken an arm and taken a leg All this time honey Baby you've been had.

Lily of the Valley
I am forever searching high and low But why does everybody tell me no Neptune of the seas Have you an answer for me please And the lily of the valley doesn't know
I lie in wait with open eyes I carry on through stormy skies I follow every course My kingdom for a horse But each time I grow old Serpent of the Nile Relieve me for awhile And cast me from your spell and let me go
Messenger from Seven Seas has flown To tell the King of Rhye he's lost his throne Wars will never cease Is there time enough for peace But the lily of the valley doesn't know
