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 control 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 tasteful, luxurious,
And full of sexuality
And though they are tears
I control 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

    Iggy must have been high or loaded when he wrote this song. WTF is awesome about a "private hell." For one things, it's HELL. That's not good no matter how you sing it. And it's PRIVATE, which means feelin' like crap all alone, with nobody to share. I am NOT an Iggy fan, so I am the last person to critique his work fairly; I've always thought he was the most dysfunctional and retarded musician ever. He's so creepy that I would be truly frightened to be in a room alone with him. I've had sex in my lifetime and I would trade it all (even the HOT HOT sex) for love any day of the week. I'd must rather ravish someone I know and love and like than have a few hours or months with someone who's not overly important to me. And I surely would not brag about tolerating and surviving a "private hell" if something can be done to correct the situation. Iggy sux.
