Skid Row
the swiftest fingers play for money
the best are tangled up in minds
the sweetest sisters come down to connin'
they buy no truth of any kind
senile mothers like their sniffin' sons
hunky husbands sell their pound of flesh
the most sung song is sixteen tons
only trash is goed for cash
send me y'r greetings, sweet sweet love
commend me if need be to heaven above
y'r socalled friends just drain y'r brain
to be a star in conversation
the claptrap vows on lovers lane 're
only meant to keep you on probation
shoot y'r shit & shoot y'r stinkin' lip
you won't find no way to score a solid hit
try everythin' now to prove you're hip
you'r gonna end-up the final stupid flip
send me y'r greetings, sweet sweet love
commend me if need be to heaven above
but leave me, please leave me
with the scum & the junkies
on skid row, where all names are delusive
skid row, where all pain is exclusive
skid row
One (of a kind)
my mama told me if I was naughty
I was never to throw a party
I would be lonely & they would stone me
if I ever tried to be hearty
my daddy said hey boy if you're rockin'
you got to suffer y'r neighbours mockin'
you're gonna be laughed at
they gonna get you drafted
got to cover y'r silver stockin's
& I was sure to lose my mind
cause I'm one of a kind

hey fancy lit' mama in y'r black & blue dress
you're chasin' my dreams straight outa my head
I see you hangin' round in y'r black & blue dress
go on with y'r cheatin' till my output is dead
I'm gonna get what I want
I'm gonna drop what I don't
& I'll never lose my mind
cause I'm one
one of a kind
Wat een aparte manier om dood te gaan, in de stoel, krantje voor je met daarin het bericht van Elvis overleden, mysterieus genoeg, waarom Pé's familie soms ongerust wanneer dood-suicide gesuggereerd wordt (en terecht).
Het enige wat ik hier nog aan toe te voegen heb is een nummer dat ik, zonder dat hij het wist, voor hem geschreven heb, Get lost oorspronkelijke titel It feels like love: Every day you see
if you're a star like me
an endless line of people
some love you
some hate you
& some just try to make a fool out of you
& every once in a while
someone is passin by
you can't get off y'r mind
someone is passin by
gives you that precious little grain
I said someone is passin by
makes you feel real
& keeps you out of the rain
it feels like love
it feels like love
