I was reading a review of the new Motorhead album at the weekend. Lemmy is a man never to let political correctness get in the way of his lyric-writing. Here's a few examples:
"You're jailbait, and I just can't wait" (a favourite of Gary Glitter's, I believe)
"Going down slowly's the only way to go"
There was a lyric quoted in the review which just made crack out laughing I think it's because it's just so wrong that it's completely right. Here it is:
"Rock out, with your cock out, impress your lady friends"
I love the way he uses the term 'lady friends', it shows respect to 'the ladies', there's a saucy 'Carry On' feel to it. Every time I read it it's me completely gone. No doubt if it was an inferior band, like WASP or Poison, the lyric would read, rather craply:
"Rock out, with your jackhammer out, stick to your bitch"
Of course, if the lyric was written about myself it would read:
"Rock out, with your cock out, amuse your lady friends"
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to download Rock Out.
