You'd better watch what you're wearing
If you want him to come 'round and see you tonight
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
But he doesn't care what it looks like
Just as long as it's pink and it's tight
It's what he likes
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Ooh, so what should you do?
Should you stop being you?
Just to be how he wants you?
Ooh, go and visit your mum
And tell me that you'll come
And meet me in the afternoon
Ooh, he's got your heart
You've got his soul
You might as well know

So what?
I know you're never going to be with me
But do you understand now that maybe
You got it right first time?
I realize that you'll never leave him
But every now and then in the evening
You could get it right first time
I know you think I've got to be joking
And if you touch him again then I'm going
Oh, you got it right first time
Get it right first time

And now you've done it once
Now he wants you to wear your pink glove all the time
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Ooh, so what should you do?
Should you stop being you?
Just to be how he wants you?
Ooh, go and visit your mum
And tell me that you'll come
And meet me in the afternoon
Ooh, he's got your heart
You've got his soul
You might as well know

So what?
I know you're never going to be with me
But do you understand now that maybe
You got it right first time?
I realize that you'll never leave him
But every now and then in the evening
You could get it right first time
I know you think I've got to be joking
And if you touch him again then I'm going
Oh, you got it right first time
Get it right first time

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Oh you'll always be together
'Cause he gets you up in leather
And you know what to wear at the end of the day
And I'd laugh if I saw, but I'm out of the way
Yeah it's too long ago, shouldn't care anymore
But I wanted to know, is it as good as before?
Yeah, it's hard to believe that you'd go for that stuff
All those baby-doll nighties, synthetic fluff
Oh, it looks pretty good
Yeah, it fits you okay, yeah
Wear your pink glove, babe
You put it on the wrong way

So
I know you're never going to be with me
Do you understand now that maybe
You got it right first time?
I realize that you'll never leave him
But every now and then in the evening
You could get it right first time
I know you think I've got to be joking
And if you touch him again then I'm going
Oh, you got it right first time, yeah
Oh, I know that you'll never leave him
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, did you see yet?
You got it right first time
Get it right first time

    People are saying this song's sleazy, and I hope they're talking about the girl's new boyfriend. I think Jarvis seems to be surprisingly nice about the whole thing. I didn't realise he said 'sod off' though. That's just funny. Lol.♥

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Show Me a Little Shame
Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals
He certainly did earn that reputation.

Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
