Dancing in the disco...


1994, don't believe the hype,
Take a look at the small print,
Ignore the bold type,
It's just you and me against the world,
The only thing we ever get from them is sorrow

Here are the lyrics for a few Sultans songs which I have typed in for no apparent reason. More lyrics can be found at The Sultans Homepage

CLITUS CLARKE


From the album "Casual Sex In The Cineplex"

Clitus Clarke got no arms,
Cheer him on now, cheer him on,
Clitus Clarke got no legs,
Cheer him on now, cheer him on,
Clitus Clarke got no head,
Pole-vaulting taliped,
Cheer him on now, cheer him on now

Hip hip hooray for the second attempt,
8 foot 4 the pole is bent,
Clitus Clarke goes in the air,
Though his legs are not quite there,
He's been vaulting all his life,
Transcending his domestic strife,
Even over politics,
Flying on this springy stick,
Now cheer him on,
Just cheer him on,

Clitus Clarke got no arms,
Cheer him on now, cheer him on,
Clitus Clarke got no legs,
Cheer him on now, cheer him on,
Clitus Clarke got no head,
Pole-vaulting taliped,
Cheer him on now, cheer him on now

Some day Clitus may well die,
While bravely vaulting bravely through the sky,
Clitus Clarke will say goodbye,
Vaulting till eternity,
Though he may not

Clitus Clarke got no arms,
Cheer him on now, cheer him on,
Clitus Clarke got no legs,
Cheer him on now, cheer him on,
Clitus Clarke got no head,
Pole-vaulting taliped,
Cheer him on now, cheer him on now


KICK ME WITH YOUR LEATHER BOOTS


From the album "Casual Sex In The Cineplex"

Please my dear,
Kick me with your leather boots,
I'm so sincere,
Kick me with your leather boots

You took me to your bedroom
and I got such a thrill,
It was like the sequel to the boys from Brazil,
When we wear our leather boots,
We're so unashamed,
Your smashing left foot volley sends the blood to my brain.

You say that fortunato was the greatest of them all,
In my opinion Borniack has better ball control,
Your stunning social presence has one running round the bend,
Kick me with your leather boots,
Kick me hard again.

Please my dear,
Kick me with your leather boots,
I'm so sincere,
Kick me with your leather boots


SCAR ON MY FACE

From the album "Good Year For Trouble"

Steiger/O'Flaherty/O'Connell/Sultans

Tricky times,
To have a different point of view,
Make no friends, doing what you want to do,

I can't stand,
To spend another day with you,
Kick and scream, like a devil boy would do,

And now, the time has come to sing my favourite song,
Nobody's gonna tell me what to do,
Nobody's gonna tell me what to do,
Sometimes I just don't know my place,
I was born with a scar on my face,

Boy, you kick me till I'm black and blue,
Make no friends, Like a devil boy would do,

And now, the time has come to sing my favourite song,
Nobody's gonna tell me what to do,
Nobody's gonna tell me what to do,
Sometimes I just don't know my place,
I was born with a scar on my face,
Sometimes I just don't know my place,
I was born with a scar on my face,

Sometimes I just don't know my place,
I was born with a scar on my face,
Sometimes I just don't know my place,
I was born with a scar on my face


MESCALINE


From the album "Good Year For Trouble"
Steiger/O'Flaherty/Sultans

When I saw Jo Jo,
That was my ego,
Wherever amigo,
So does Jo Jo,
Ok Jo Jo,
We've gotta go go,
All these kids they drive too slow now,

All of us who know only fools drive slow,
Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline!
You've got something, baby I want it,
I'm gonna put my finger on, Mescaline!

Well OK Jo Jo,
Well you've got my ego,
Wherever amigo,
So does Jo Jo,
Ok Jo Jo,
We've gotta go go,
All these kids they drive too slow now,

All of us who know only fools drive slow,
Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline!
You've got something, baby I want it,
I'm gonna put my finger on, Mescaline!

All of us who know only fools drive slow,
All of us who know only fools drive slow,
All of the girls who know only fools drive slow,
Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline!
Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline! Mescaline!
You've got something, baby I want it,
I'm gonna put my finger on it,
I'm gonna put my finger on, Mescaline!


GOOD YEAR FOR TROUBLE


From the album "Good Year For Trouble"
O'Flaherty/Sultans

Cos you're 17,
That's a good year for trouble,
Dirty 17,
That's a good year for trouble,
You don't want to be a loser,
Don't want to be a no-one,
Take a drive into the city,
Gonna find an older lover,

Dirty 17,
That's a good year for trouble,
Dirty 17,
That's a good year for trouble,
Wear your shiny shoes,
Walk away from your mother,
I'll kill your teenage blues,
I'll be your devil brother,

You don't want to be a loser,
Don't want to be a no-one,
Take a drive into the city,
Gonna find an older lover,

Dirty 17,
That's a good year for trouble,
Dirty 17,
That's a good year for trouble,

A-Dirty 17.

Dirty 17,
That's a good year for trouble,
Dirty 17,
That's a good year for trouble,

A-Dirty 17.

[dirty/lucky/blardy] 17.


YOUNG AND TWISTED


From the album "Good Year For Trouble"
O'Flaherty/Sultans

Just like a warplane,
Coming over the sea,
Well I don't care,
What you drop on me,
I don't care,
I've got nothing to lose,
I don't care, I'll hang around with you,

We've got nothing left,
We're just waiting for you to come,
We've got no more friends,
We're just coming for you to run,
TWISTED! So young and TWISTED!
Ah young and TWISTED!
I'm so young and twisted.

You've got morons,
Checking over the world,
But I don't care,
I'm gonna meet my girl,
I don't care,
I've got nothing to do,
I don't care,
I don't care, I'll hang around with you,

We've got nothing left,
We're just waiting for you to come,
We've got no more friends,
We're just coming for you to run,
TWISTED! So young and TWISTED!
Ah young and twisted!

TWISTED! So young and TWISTED!
TWISTED! So young and TWISTED!
TWISTED! So young and TWISTED!
TWISTED! So young and TWISTED! ....

Ah..you can do the twist...


RUBBERMAN


From the album "Good Year For Trouble"
O'Flaherty/MacFeely/Sultans

I'm a boy,
Got no respect,
Happy when I'm smoking a cigarette,
I'm a boy,
Got no regret,
Take another pack of cigarettes,

And I'm a lucky guy,
I'm gonna tell you why,
Cos I'm a rubber man,
Rubber man,
Come and take the hand of the rubber man,
Rubber man, Rubber man,
Try to steal your mind with my rubber plan,

All my dreams,
Are squeaky clean,
Cover up your world with polythene,
All my dreams,
Are squeaky clean,
Why not clean your world with kerosene?

And I'm a lucky guy,
I'm gonna tell you why,
Cos I'm a rubber man,
Rubber man,
Come and take the hand of the rubber man,
Rubber man, Rubber man,
Try to steal your mind with my rubber plan,

See I'm a rubber man,
Rubber man,
Come and take the hand of the rubber man,
Rubber man, Rubber man,
Smile from the heart of the rubber man,

Me be a rubber man,
Rubber man,
Try to steal your mind with my rubber plan,
Rubber man, Rubber man,
Try to steal your mind with my rubber plan
