Paroles de Worm & The Rattlesnake

I wanna take you to the Garden of Eden
Where they play Duane Eddy not Bert Weedon
Wanna mingle with the riff raff and be a rebel
So echo the bass and turn up the treble
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I wanna smoke my cigarettes in peace
I wanna brush out the parting and comb in the grease
I wanna trade my tie for studs and buckles
And tattoo your name across my knuckles
Oh yeah
I wanna tell the world she belongs to me
I wanna carve the news in the bark of a tree
A cupids heart with an arrow going through it
The stupid part is even then I knew she was wrong for me
Oh yeah
I was as jealous as hell cause he was just a kid
And he could walk on the waltzers like Jesus did
He said you try it, I said it's a piece of cake
But I knew he knew, I was a worm not a rattlesnake
Oh yeah
The summer rolled by like a white walled tyre
Then the candyfloss became barbed wire
She said, you're different you're not the same
You're just a jew looking for a christian name
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Then they chased me through a booming cage of arks How come you still invade my dreams
You belong in my Quiff Street fairground teens
I don't even know if she's still alive
If she is, she's probably married with five kids by now
Oh yeah
And I wonder if her husband carries a gun
Did he throw away his life in a chicken run
You know I think she made a big mistake
She should have fallen in love with the worm not the rattlesnake
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yea
