"The Day The Devil" lyrics
"The Day The Devil"
The day the devil comes to getcha
You know him by the way he smiles
The day the devil comes to getcha
He's a rusty truck with only twenty miles
He's got bad brakes he's got loose teeth
He's a long way from home
The day the devil comes to getcha
He's got a smile like a scar
He knows the way to your house
He's got the keys to your car
And when he sells you his sportcoat
You say: Funny! That's my size
Attention shoppers!
Everybody please rise
Give me back my innocence
Get me a brand new suit
Give me back my innocence, oh Lord!
Cut me down to size
Well, you can hide under the porch
And you can hide behind the couch
But the day the devil comes to getcha
He's right on time, here he comes
Well, I'm sick of hearin' 'bout your problems
Yeah girlie, you're breakin' my heart
I'm the original party animal
Hey! Hey! Babaloo
So don't come bangin' your Bibles
'Cause you've been laughin' all the way to the bank
And don't give me those crocodile tears
Cause you've been doing it for years
I'm everywhere!
Sign right here Mr. Jones
The day the devil comes to getcha
He's a long way from home
You know he's gonna getcha
'Cause you're stuck in the middle
Everybody please rise
Give me back my innocence
Get me a brand new suit
Give me back my innocence, oh Lord!
Cut me down to size
Give me back my innocence
Get me a new Cadillac
'Cause when I get on up to heaven Lord
You can have it all back
'Cause in heaven, you get it all back
In heaven it all comes back
'Cause in heaven, you get it all back
In heaven
'Cause in heaven...
In heaven...
In heaven...
In heaven...

Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art

Ultravox - "Hiroshima Mon Amour" Somehow we drifted off too far
Communicate like distant stars
Splintered voices down the 'phone
The sunlit dust, the smell of roses drifts, oh no
Someone waits behind the door
Hiroshima, mon amour...
