Stand and deliver [Adam And The Ants]

Stand and Deliver!
I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
The devil take your stereo and your record collection!
The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension!

Stand and Deliver! Your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror, no bullet or a knife!

I'm the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion
The clumsy boots, the peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashing
So what's the point in robbery when nothing is worth taking?
It's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's making

Stand and Deliver! Your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror, no bullet or a knife!

And even though you fool your soul
Your conscience will me mine
All mine

We're the dandy highwaymen so tired of excuses
Of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses
We're the dandy highwaymen and here's our invitation
"Throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation"

Stand and Deliver! Your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror, no bullet or a knife!

And even though you fool your soul
Your conscience will be mine
All Mine

Da diddley qua qua da diddley qua qua
Da diddley qua qua da diddley qua qua

Stand and Deliver! Your money or your life!
Stand and Deliver! Your money or your life!...

Antrap [Adam And The Ants]

Put some wax on the trax and slide on onta here!
Hane hane hane hane hane

Hatchets in the corner ears to the ground
Improve to the groove get down to the sound
Buttons and bows and blue blanc rouge
All things lively must be used
Liberté, egalité, au jour d'hui c'est très très très
Voici l'opportunité nous Incroyables
I got the moves they got the grooves
Summoned the Gods and they all approved
Had vibes akimbo on the shelf
Bit of a rap thing going for myself
This gold on the teeth's no sense at all
It only matters when it's on the wall

I'm standing here with my four men
Let's start that rapping thing again:

Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly
In the naughty north and the sexy south
We're all singing I have the mouth
In the naughty north and the sexy south
We're all singing I have the mouth
I have the mouth

So tired of anarchists looking at me
Don't need their credibility
"destroy", they say, "defy! condem!"
As long as you don't destroy them
With twenty years of drugs and drinks
I thought the time had come to think
About standing up and saying that
It's tragedy and such old hat

I'm standing here with my four men
Let's start that rapping thing again:

(I got) Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly
In the naughty north and the sexy south
We're all singing I have the mouth
In the naughty north and the sexy south
We're all singing I have the mouth
I have the mouth

These happy feet are all we need
Summoned the Gods and they all agreed
These feet won't stop they're in such a hurry
I knock it on the head and I go for a curry
Staying sober can be neat
Get drunk on these here happy feet
Keep on trying to pin me down
"Why a title for your sound?"

I'm standing here with my four men
Let's start that rapping thing again:

I got Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly
In the naughty north and the sexy south
We're all singing I have the mouth...

And I have the mouth
And you have the mouth
And they got the mouth

Deutscher girls [Adam and the Ants]

We'll do the tango. We'll try the foxtrot
Oh it's a mango. You drink a straight scotch
You know I told you you could be classy
So why did you have to be so nasty

Remember the curls of the Deutscher girls
Lover of mine from down on the Rhine

I'll fill your bath with the finest champagne
I'll lick your skin dry, I cherish your name
The stakes get higher as you dress sparsely
So why did you have to be so nasty

Remember the curls of the Deutscher girls
Lover of mine from down on the Rhine

I love your blonde hair, I kiss your pigtails
And I could not share the scratch of your nails
And though you mark me, your oh so classy
Oh why did you have to be so nasty

Remember the curls of the Deutscher girls
Lover of mine from down on the Rhine

Ooh ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Ooh ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Ooh weeee ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Ooh Ooh Ooh weeee-ooh

I said Remember the curls of the Deutscher girls
Lover of mine from down on the Rhine...

Goody two shoes [Adam and the Ants]

With the heartbreak open
So much you can't hide
Put on a little makeup, makeup
Make sure they get your good side, good side

If the words unspoken
Get stuck in your throat
Send a treasure token, token
Write it on a pound note, pound note

Goody two, goody two, goody, goody two shoes
Goody two, goody two, goody, goody two shoes
You don't drink, don't smoke. What do you do?
You don't drink, don't smoke. What do you do?
The subtle innuendos follow
There must be something inside

We don't follow fashion
That'd be a joke
You know we're gonna set them, set them
So ev'ryone can take note, take note

When I saw you kneeling
Crying words that you mean
Opening the eyeballs, eyeballs
Pretending that you're Al Green, Al Green

Goody two, goody two, goody, goody two shoes
Goody two, goody two, goody, goody two shoes
You don't drink, don't smoke. What do you do?
You don't drink, don't smoke. What do you do?
The subtle innuendos follow
There must be something inside

No one's gonna tell me
What's wrong and what's right
Or tell me who to eat with, sleep with
Or foul up on the big fight, big fight

Look out or they'll tell you
You're a superstar
Two weeks and you're an all time legend
I think the games have gone much too far

If the words unspoken
Get stuck in your throat
Send a treasure token, token
Write it on a pound note, pound note

Don't drink, don't smoke. What do you do?
Don't drink, don't smoke. What do you do?
The subtle innuendos follow
There must be something inside
He's hiding

Friend or foe [Adam and the Ants]

Friend or foe?
Friend or foe?
Friend or foe?
Friend or foe?

I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enimies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enimies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enimies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enimies

Take it up or leave it
I'm not gonna change a bit
If it means heartache
Then leave it out for your sake
I tried and try tried
To take care of my insides
Nobody's perfect
So leave me if you object

I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enimies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enimies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enimies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers. Uh!

When you're a pirouetting, highkicking, thighslapping cruiser
When you're a hipgrinding, spellbinding, clean cut seducer
You have to be careful so people take note
I take it serious, but I still like a joke

I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enimies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enimies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enimies
I want those who get to know me

I'm not gonna change a bit
If it means heartache
Then leave it out for your sake
I tried and try tried
But still you say that I lied
Nobody's perfect
So leave me if you object

Take it up or leave it
I'm not gonna change a bit
If it means heartache
Then leave it out for your sake
I tried and try tried
To take care of my insides
Nobody's perfect

Desperate, but not serious [Adam and the Ants]

If I ask you difficult questions
If I make improper suggestions
Would you find that a risk to your health?
Would you put me up on the bookshelf
With the books and the plants?

Desperate but not serious
Your kisses drive me delerious

If I were kind and adoring
How would that be? Very boring
Mister Press Man, with your penknife
Always asking about my sexlife
And who with? And how many times?

Desperate but not serious
Your kisses drive me delerious

All the advice seems so unkind
"If you don't stop, you will go blind"
They'll tell you it's none of their business
And console you with a big kiss
On the lips, and on the back of your neck


Desperate but not serious
Your kisses drive me delerious...

Puss in boots [Adam and the Ants]

Pussycat's going to London
Looking for love and for fame
I wish somebody had told her
City folks ain't the same

Pussycat carries a postcard
Won't the big city be nice
That's the place with the action
She's gonna have her a slice

Pussycat, pussycat where have you been?
I've been to London, now I'm queen
Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me Puss'n boots

Pussycat laughs at the warnings
Where there's a will there's a way
I think you'd agree if you saw her
Rome's built in a day

Pussycat's read all the papers
Seen the movie and knows
All the streets lead to somewhere
And the pavement's gold

Pussycat, pussycat where have you been?
I've been to London, now I'm queen
Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me Puss'n boots

Although you know it's wrong
We must do it everyday
And when the morning comes
Don't you turn around and say
It's bound to end in tears
So let's do it anyway

Pussycat wasn't a kitten
And not as dumb as they thought
She had a good head on her shoulders
And beauty that couldn't be bought

The royalty made her an offer
If she'd keep trouble at bay
They'd give her the money and diamonds
Be queen for a day

Pussycat, pussycat where have you been?
I've been to London, now I'm queen
Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits
And the mice all call me Puss'n boots...

Vive le rock [Adam and the Ants]

Bang bang! You're dead
Did not! Did too!
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you

I try to tell you but you just don't understand
You've got my entire life in your hands
Vive le rock, vive le rock
Oh well you don't know what you're missing
'Cos you don't know what you got

And if the enemy don't see it your way
Be smart, play dead, live to fight a new day
And vive le rock, vive le rock
Oh well you don't know what you're missing
'Cos you don't know what you got

Vive le rock, vive le rock, vive le rock
If this is it then I'm afraid it's not enough
Here's Johnny and he's calling your bluff
Vive le rock, vive le rock
Oh well you don't know what you're missing
'Cos you don't know what is what

Look out! - Rockers going Starwars!

You're scratching records but you won't be scratching mine
Don't give me chish-chash in rinky-dink time
Lust vive le rock, vive le rock
Well I've been where I was going
And it's not Tom of Finland

Look Ma, I'm on top of the world

Poison arrow [A.B.C]

If I were to say to you can you keep a secret?
Would you know just what to do, or where to keep it?
Then I say I love you, and foul the situation
Hey girl I thought we were the right combination

Who broke my heart? You did, you did
Bow to the target, blame Cupid, Cupid
You think you're smart. Stupid, stupid

Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow

No rhythm in cymbals, no tempo in drums
Love on arrival, she comes when she comes
Right on the target but wide of the mark
What I thought was fire was only the spark

The sweetest melody is an unheard refrain
So lower your sights, yeah, but raise your aim, raise your aim

Who broke my heart? You did, you did
Bow to the target, blame Cupid, Cupid
You think you're smart. Stupid, stupid

Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow

I thought you loved me but it seems you don't care
I care enough to know I can never love you

Who broke my heart? You did, you did
Bow to the target. Blame Cupid
You think you're smart. That's stupid
Right from the start when you knew we would part

Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow...
