Richard Thompson - Backlash Love Affair Lyrics
An iron maiden stole my heart away-o black dayHer siren songs seemed to call to me-o destinyShe spat her thrash metal lyrics right into my mindThe stage thundered and theSmoke bombs made me blindShe sang, Hello, Liebchen, wollen Sie ein Jig-a-jig, nein?CHORUSShe says, left, right, right, leftCome on Joe, don't be slowUp, down, down, upcome on Joe, time to goIn, out, out, inDo it if you love me JoeI know it's art for art's sakeBut how much more can I takeWhat's my share of this backlash love affairHer hair extensions down to her knees-what a teaseShe got tattoos everywhere you look-she's a comic bookWhy she goes for my type I'll never understandShe's so demure when we promenade hand in handand when we get back home sheLet's me know she's in commandCHORUSThose iron maidens, cool as a marble slabThey wrap aroound you and the cold knives cut and stabI can't live my life as someone else's shishkebabCHORUS---------------------------------------------------------
