Tatooed Love Boys (The Paradise Theatre, March 1980) Songtext / Lyric

The mid twenty joys around a heart thats black and blue

Tattooed love boys

I tore my knees up getting to you

cause I needed

To find out what the thing was for

Been reading

But man the time came to explore



I went apewire cause I thought

Like Id like it little tease

But I didnt mean it

But you mess with the goods doll, honey you gotta pay, yeah






A good time was guaranteed for one and all

The tattoos did target practice in the hall

While waiting for their number to get called out

I, i, i, I found out what the wait was about



I was a good time, yeah, I got pretty good

At changing tyres upstairs bro

I shot my mouth off and you showed me what that hole was for



Now I see you

All impressed and half undressed

You got paint stick all over the scars and lumps and bumps

Tattooed love boys

Have got you where I used to lay

Well ha ha too bad, but you know what they say

Stop snivellin, youre gonna make some plastic surgeon a rich man



Oh, but the prestige and the glory

Another human interest story

You are that
