Golden Earring - Desperately Trying To Be Different Lyrics
From the Album:* Paradise in distressLizzy the lizardMet an angry young snakeWith forked-tongue graceBy the name of Jake:A yellow eyed diamond back rattlerIn the chill-out roomOf the Âwildlife saloon'She admired his skin,Jake said it was fakeAnd Liz said: Âwho cares,It don't really matter!ÂA question to raise,Why people these daysLike slaves to the crazeAre somehow hell bentYet always content with fortune's spentOn desperately tryin' to be differentWilly the weasel saidTo Sammy the snitchLet's go to the dogsAnd bet on that *****The greyhoundThat runs like a pantherThey made a big score,Went to the Hi-fashion storeThey bought two suits of shark skinFurs, ermine and minkAll decked out for the next chapterNancy the nymphoYelled at Lola La LeechÂI need a permanent wavewith lotsa bleachI wanna look like a cheap German dancerÂShe could pass for a queenIn a second hand dreamInside the gloom of the Âwildlife saloon'The wolfwhistlesSounded just like laughter
