Punked In the O.C.: Live At the Celebrity Theater 1988

You're like a kind of religion,
I see you each night on television.
I can't remember all your names,
I love you running through my veins.

Alcohol, oh alcohol, I love you in my brains.
Alcohol, oh alcohol, I never want you again.

I come and see you every night,
Take out my purse and I'll buy you a pint.
Would you like another ?
No thanks,
Tonight I'm wearing incontinence pants.

Everywhere I go, everyone I see,
Knows the secret languishing down inside of me.
A change of scene could be the key,
Go to the cupboard, take out the bottle and splash it all over me.

But it's Transylvanian Perfume swirling round,
Release the beast that hides behind your brow.
Transylvanian Perfume drink it in,
It's the musk of lust as it'll take you up where you've never ever been.

It's duty free,
It's real scary.
It's a magnet glue,
It's the stuff for you, this stuff is tough !

Ply 'em with a drink to get 'em hooked,
I'm an evil essence, no odour clone, I can't be overlooked.
Watch 'em for a while I gotta' choose,
The night is young, the moon is bright an' I got my blue suede shoes

The memory lingers on when you were the same as us.
Three months old a child, still you lived off love and fuss.

City baby, city baby, city baby attacked by rats.
Residing in a squalid place, it can't be too much fun.
Your brain is getting eaten away by the rat living in your skull.

A mutant at the age of one, a human rodent cabbage.
It's hard to think a tiny thing can do that much damage.

Kickin' up the dust clouds here we go,
Out to the Wild West.
Ride the ferry as the sun goes down,
Carrying on the quest.
But on the way back all's not well,
There's an incident on deck.
Big brave bullies with CS gas,
Tried to break the kids neck.
Big brave bullies with CS gas,
Tried to break the kids neck.

Pass the axe an' I'll show you justice,
Pass the axe an' I'll show you what's right.
Pass the axe an' I'll show you justice,
Your blocking freedom out of sight.
Pass the axe and I'll take a slice.

When a rat is cornered a rat fights back,
With all the strength he's got.
Shut yourself in the toilet boys and pray it has a lock.
Lights they're a flashin', it's a ten-0-four,
There's trouble in the dock.
Abuse your power an' you'll pay the price,
Impounded in asbestos.
Abuse your power an' you'll pay the price,
Impounded in asbestos.
Abuse your power an' you'll pay the price,
Impounded in asbestos.

Hydro, electric city,
Twentieth Century state.
Ultrasonic people,
Nihilistic hate.

Only six arrests that night,
It's not what you'd call a riot.
And now upon the Western Front,
Everything is quiet.
The accused stood up, then sat down,
They ain't done nothing wrong.
And to commemorate their actions,
We dedicate this song.
And to commemorate their actions,
We dedicate this song.
