Richard Hell And The Voidoids : Blank Generation
Lyrics
1. LOVE COMES IN SPURTS
I was a child
Who wanted love that was wild
Though tight as slow motion
But crazed with devotion
Insane with devotion
A whole other notion
I was fourteen and a half
And it wasn't no laugh
Love comes in spurts (oh no it hurts)
Love comes in spurts (it hurts)
Love comes in spurts (oh no, cuz)
Love comes in spurts (it always hurts)
I just can't get wise
To those tragical lies
Though I now know the facts
They still cut like an axe
Cuz love comes in spurts
In dangerous flirts
And it murders your heart
They didn't tell you that part
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts

2. LIARS BEWARE
Look out liars and you highlife scum
Who gotta keep your victims poor and dumb--
Your motives and your methods are not disguised
By your silk, soap, sex, or your smiling lies.
Look out here
You pompous jerk
Look out here
I go berserk
Well I guess you put me in my place
But I won't forget your stupid face
They gave you power cuz they knew your needs--
Soprano boys get talent when you shoot your seeds.
Well you laugh to hear what your best friends say--
Old man they laugh when you walk away.
Look out chief
Ridiculous creep
Look out thief
You'll lose your teeth
Well you got power, now there's competition
And your blind side's turned to the boys with a mission.
You were sixty-five when you wiggled out--
Your mind all twisted and your mom all shout.
I'm a man with his share of excess nice
But it can't be spared for drooling lice.
Look out jerk
You ancient slut
I can't endure
Your smirking smut
Well life is short so don't even try
To bother waving as we pass you by.
3. NEW PLEASURE
New Pleasure, new pleasure
Too weak for life you have become
You can't get dressed you're too numb
But we assume sublime poses
Deep in true to life (hypnosis)
True to life in true to life in
New pleasure, new pleasure
(Whisper in my ear, we go away)
New Pleasure, new pleasure
You're in too deep you can't survive
Or can't be you past twenty-five
A day's a week the monster dozes
Deep in passionate (hypnosis)
Passionate in passionate in
New pleasure, new pleasure
(Whisper in my ear, we go away)
New Pleasure, new pleasure
4. BETRAYAL TAKES TWO
Betrayal takes two. Who did it to who?
I mean: not to be cut by your dull point of view.
Feelings will change - we're helpless they must.
We like it that way - eliminates trust.
But that cut on your arm where the blood is still fresh
And the thought of some harm that comes to yourself...
Hey sweetheart cool off, you're not so distraught...
You lost what you had but that's what I've got.
I'll close my eyes while you take off my clothes
No wait a while till this feelings goes...
The feeling gets stronger, two times emptiness-
We'll embrace that much longer, make more of a mess...
The senstation of life was aroused in ourself.
From the plot we digressed, knocked the books off the shelves
Then burned down the house, then met in a bar
With a motel attached and kissed all the scar.
We're changed now for good, but I try to insert
My face to appear when you love when you flirt.
5. DOWN AT THE ROCK AND ROLL CLUB
(Chorus)
Partner don you pull no gun/Down at the rock and roll club
We just gonna have some fun/Down at the rock and roll club
Sweetheart would you buy me one/Down at the rock and roll club
They say Richard are you gonna go out tonite?
Well I am uncertain I ain't feeling too right
But I rip up my shirt/Watch the mirror it flirt
Yeah, I'm going out, out, inta sight.
(Chorus)
On the street air is thin, dim night like the rest.
At the door of the club lounging eyes so undressed.
Then you open the door/and the noise shakes the floor.
Oh baby night after night here tonight is the best.
(Chorus)
I say Hey how's the group, when's the set gonna start?
She says I know that girl - there's a tattoo on her heart.
She pivots in rage/and the band hits the stage
Sexy love ricochets round everyone's part.
(Chorus)
I say everybody's waiting - I want moments like these.
Oh baby get me drunk I'll go to my knees/
Such a surge overload/Oh the whold joint explode
Everyone you ever saw indulging in squeeze.
(Chorus)
6. WHO SAYS ?
I saw what I had so
I got I got mad so
I guess I went bad so
Now I search for new endeavors
Push my buttons wear my levers
(Chorus)
Who says it's good good good to be alive?
Same ones who keep it a perpetual jive.
Who says it's good good good to be alive?
It ain't no good it's a perpetual dive.
There's nothing to win by
This sort of an outcry
Oh yeah we all know why
Cuz the world a person lives in
Is his brain. Well mine just gives in...
(Chorus)
It's clear that I choose to
Live on I'm so used to...
But still it ain't news to
Ditch it say when one incentive's
Gained and gone though you're inventive
(Chorus)
Once born you're addicted
And so you depict it
As good, but who kicked it?
Users just can't see the horror
Tell one if you want to bore her
(Chorus)
7. BLANK GENERATION
I was sayin let me out of here before I was
Even born--it's such a gamble when you get a face
It's fascinatin to observe what the mirror does
But when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place
I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the ______ generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
Triangles were fallin at the window as the doctor cursed
He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye
The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first
The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, "God's consolation prize!"
I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the ______ generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
To hold the t.v. to my lips, the air so packed with cash
Then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in the vacant lot
To lose my train of thought and fall into your arms' tracks
And watch beneath the eyelids every passing dot
I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the ______ generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the ______ generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
8. WALKING ON THE WATER
Late last night
I went for a walk
Down by the river near my home
I couldn't believe
With my own eyes
And i swear i'll never leave my home again
Well i saw a man
Walking on the water, walking
Coming right at me
From the other side
Calling out my name
Do not be afraid now
Feet begin to run, run run
Pounded in my brain
I dont wanna go
I dont wanna go
Oh no no no
No, i dont wanna go
9. THE PLAN
I withdrew from the street and all humanlike zones.
I'd had it, I'd had it - I was mush to the bones.
I covered the windows, I was taking no calls
Then I thought for a month inside the alien walls.
(Chorus)
Now I know oh
They don't tell you so.
Now I know, oh
They don't tell you so.
Now I know. Oh
They don't tell you so
But I can recall
It all.
I called up a girl I'd known for so many years.
I'd seen her in shock, I'd seen the last of her tears.
I admired her style from her toes to her brain -
She accepted my plan and so she caught the next train.
(Chorus)
We would secretly smile inside our surgical masks
But we were serious too - we accomplished our ask.
The schedule was followed, a daughter was born.
And so the mother departed - I was left with her form.
(Chorus)
Her education's begun - I'm intent on success.
Her breathtaking beauty it brings out my best.
I once knew true love - she won't know another.
Life is renewed, my little girl is my lover.
10. ANOTHER WORLD
Head wrapped in your hair
In a box lined with silk
You can't learn to talk
And the air is your milk
Erasing my face
I want you so bad
I want to be you
It's futile it's sad
Oh, oh baby
Oh, oh baby
Oh, oh baby
Oh oh oh
I could live with you in another world
I could live with you in another world
I could live with you in another world
Muscle against silk
Tears fall from the burn
A smell of perfume
In a moment you'll turn
In a moment you'll turn
Your face will change shape
We exchange just one gift:
To see like an ape
Oh, oh baby
Oh, oh baby
Oh, oh baby
Oh oh oh
I could live with you in another world
I could live with you in another world
I could live with you in another world
Oh so easy to go
Drawn in the vacuum
At the time I'm in you
I'm alone in the back room
Down to the last raw
My eyes open wide
To collect all the scraps
Ten more years and they'll cry
Oh, oh baby
Oh, oh baby
Oh, oh baby
Oh oh oh
I could live with you in another world
I could live with you in another world
I could live with you in another world
11. . I'M YOUR MAN
I'm your man

It's so good that
You can get it from my hand
I'm your man

It's so good that this way hey

You've know them since age ten
What men can do
What they did for themselves

It's so good that
Oh no, yeah

You say the time, I can't wait
The place and the time and the date
Just tell me when, I can't wait

You're glad that I do
What you say to me proves
I'm more romantic than you

It's so good that uh huh, yeah

Retaining face and form my fingers linger on
Cuz baby oh, oh, oh, oh, oh no
Well talk about me babe
Whaddaya see
Before you talk I'm gonna get down on my knees
It's so good that you can get it from my hand
I'm your man, baby, I'm your man
12. ALL THE WAY
When somebody loves you
Its no good unless he loves you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
Thats how its got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
Thats how deep it goes - if its real
When somebody needs you
Its no good unless he needs you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if youll let me love you
Its for sure Im gonna love you - all the way, all the way
