Iggy Pop Lyrics

Teatime Dub Encounters (2018) - Iggy Pop (with Underworld)

Bells & Circles lyrics - Underworld & Iggy Pop

If I had wings, I wouldn't do anything beautiful and transcendent

No, I'd get my finger into everything I wanted

I'd do all the beautiful things, those thing you can't do

Because nobody wants you to be able to do the things that make you feel good

Like you can't smoke on the aeroplane

I remember smoking on the aeroplane

I used to love the smoke on the airplane

Those were the golden days of air trave

They would just open the door at the airport

And you'd walk right out the tarmac

And up those stairs and light a big cigarette

And stick it in the ashtray and the stewardess would come along

And if she was hot, you can try to pick her up

Once I was flying from New York to DC, I didn't have much time

And the stewardess was smoking

She was a dusky tall American beauty

And I put down my tray table, snorted a gram of cocain

Till I got up my courage to say, "Can I have your phone number?"

And she gave me the number, that was the good news

The bad news was I got too stoned and I lost the number

The stewardess would've been better than the cocain

I made an error in judgement

But still I remember smoking on the aeroplane

Smoking on the aeroplane

Smoking on the aeroplane, everybody did it

They gather at the back on the way to Australia

And all puff up at once outside the bathroom

And that's why if I had wings

That would be a bad idea, hahahahaha, I guess

According to everything I've been taught about the laws of

Ethics and karma and good behavior, hahahahaha

If I had wings, I'd go, yum, yum, yum-yum, yum-yum, yum, ow!

I'd have fun

If I had wings, I'd have fun

Smoking on the aeroplane

Sunlight on my wings

(You can't do that)

Teenage boys used to hijack the aeroplane and send it to Cuba

Castro would charge 20 grand, the airline would get your aeroplane back

He had a good business (You can't do that, you can't do that)

It's over (You can't do that, you can't do that)

It's over for the liberal democracies (You can't do that)

It's over (You can't do that) Here comes the jungle (You can't do that)

Sunlight on my wings

Sunlight on my wings (You can't do that)

No more rock critics (You can't do that, you can't do that)

No more (You can't do that)

European ideas of (You can't do that) Good and bad (You can't do that)

Only a vengeful (You can't do that) God does not allow smoking on the aeroplane

(You can't do that, you can't do that)

(You can't do that) There will be no revolution (You can't do that)

And that's why (You can't do that) It won't be televised (You can't do that)

Sunlight on my wings

Sunlight (You can't do that)

If I had wings...

Trapped lyrics - Underworld & Iggy Pop

I'm trapped, I'm trapped and I'll never get out no more

I really wanted to be special

I really wanted to live in heaven

I thought that I could be so free

But all of this coming back on me

I'm trapped and I'll never get out no more

I'm trapped, I'm trapped and I'll never get out no more

I'm trapped

Bring all those women babies

I'm trapped

Bring all the dangerous ladies

No drug, no drug, no drink's gonna help me no more

I'm trapped in a land

Trapped in a land

And I'm trapped in a band

I'm trapped

Let's hear it for Johnny

He's got a mortgage

He's got a house

Oh no

He's got a house

Here goes the little boy inside

Goodbye, little boy

I'm trapped

I'm trapped, I'm trapped and I'll never get out no more

I really wanted to be special

I really wanted to live in heaven

I thought that I could be so free

But all of this coming back on me

I'm trapped and I'll never get out no more

I'm trapped, I'm trapped and I'll never get out no more

I'm trapped

Bring all those women babies

I'm trapped

Bring all the dangerous ladies

No drug, no drug, no drink's gonna help me no more

I'm trapped in a land

Trapped in a land

And I'm trapped in a band

I'm trapped

Let's hear it for Johnny

He's got a mortgage

He's got a house

Oh no

He's got a house

Here goes the little boy inside

Goodbye, little boy

I'm trapped

I'm gone, I'm gone and I'm always in the brand new place

And even though I'm here and now

I'm never really anywhere

Cause it's a bullshit game

It's a bullshit game

And I'm trapped

Trapped

I'll See Big lyrics - Underworld & Iggy Pop

Hey, is that me?

I wanted to have some friends

But not a lot of people wanted to be my friend

Couple a nerds maybe

But nerd have trouble being friends

'Cause they're too stocked up

I mean, they can play games with you but

After that you get a kinda blank stare

So I found these guys that um

They didn't have any other friends

And they weren't very demanding

We could do things together like

Smoke dope, take LSD, try to get girls

And dream about playing some music and um

Just being comfortable all the time and never working

Never, never working

This run along pretty well for a while but

Friends need to be demanding, people need to be demanding

I started becoming demanding

And I lost my friends

They couldn't stand anybody being demanding

As a demanding person I got somewhere in life

I started having girlfriends

I was very demanding of them

But I didn't let them be demanding of me

I started making big friends

Friends that could help me

Oh, those friends are really demanding

You don't get a warm fuzzy feeling

But you get

What you gotta have to get along

I mean, that's showbiz

I'm getting a little older now

I start to think about the friends that are gonna think of me

When I move along

There are one or two of them are gonna have a grin

And a good memory of me

They're not the best, fanciest people

Not even very good people frankly

Their big claim to fame is

They're my friends

Useless, expensive, maddening, pain in the ass friends

Get Your Shirt lyrics - Underworld & Iggy Pop

I signed

I signed on the dotted line

And I lost my shirt

I signed on the dotted line

He stole my shirt

I fell in love

In love I fell

She stole my shirt

I fell, I fell, I fell in love, I fell

I got, I got ripped off

I lost my shirt

Walk on

Don't try hard to be a flirt

Get your shirt

Get your hands out of the dirt

Get your shirt

Walk on

Get your shirt, get your shirt

Walk on and wait

For the music of the spheres

To move the stars

Into the right position

To reclaim my fortune

I want my shirt back

No, not a hair shirt

A fun fare shirt

Don't try hard to be a flirt

Get your shirt, get your shirt

Get your hands out of the dirt

Get your shirt, get your shirt

Don't try hard to be a flirt

Get your shirt, get your shirt

'Cause nobody loves a jerk

Get your shirt, get your shirt

It's getting harder to be free

It's getting so much harder to be me

It's getting so much harder to be

It's getting so much harder to be free

Get your ass out of the dirt

Get your shirt baby, get your shirt

Wake up, don't be a flirt, come on

Get your shirt, get your shirt

Don't try hard to be a flirt

Get your shirt, get your shirt

Get your hands out of the dirt

Get your shirt, get your shirt

Be a president or clerk

Get your shirt, get your shirt

'Cause nobody loves a jerk

Get your shirt, get your shirt

It's getting harder to feel free

It's getting so much harder just to be

Don't try hard to be a flirt

Get your shirt

Get your hands out of the dirt

Get your shirt

Be a president or clerk

Get your shirt, get your shirt

'Cause nobody loves a jerk

It's getting harder to be free

It's getting so much harder to be me

Asshole Rules The Navy lyrics - Iggy Pop (feat. A Hawk And A Hacksaw)

Let us sing a bit of good old Captain Kitt

Who sat one morning early in the head

A bee came flying past and it stung him on the ass

And this is what the gallant captain said

Asshole rules the Navy, asshole rules the sea

If you want a bit of bum, better get it from your chum -

You'll get no ass from me

Now we'll hear some rhymes of Yeoman Second Grimes

Who ran the hook that hoisted up the mail

One day as he stood watch it caught him in the crotch

And he cried as he went flying o'er the rail, "It doesn't matter!..."

Asshole rules the Navy, asshole rules the sea

If you want a bit of bum, better get it from your chum -

You'll get no ass from me

And now to end my song I'll sing of AB Long

Whose member was not like his name at all

When asked if he would tell how he got along so well

His answer simply was as I recall, "It's very simple…"

Asshole rules the Navy, asshole rules the sea

If you want a bit of bum, better get it from your chum -

You'll get no ass from me-e-e-eee

If you want a bit of bum, better get it from your chum -

You'll get no ass from me

Dirty Little Virus lyrics - Iggy Pop

Covid-19 is on the scene

The boys and the girls

Can't stop their whirl

Grandfather's dead

Got trump instead

I wanna grind

I'm losing my mind

Dirty little virus

Sleeping inside us

Gone are the paydays

Gone are the playdays

Dirty little virus

Sleeping inside us

Oh, what a grind

I'm losing my mind

She's only nineteen

But she can kill ya

She ain't my type

But it is what it is

Guy get's a fever

Thinks he sees her

Oh, what a grind

I'm losing my mind

Dirty little virus

Sleeping inside us

Gone are the paydays

Gone are the playdays

Dirty little virus

Sleeping inside us

Oh what a grind

I'm losing my mind

Can't have no fun

Can't touch no one

Can't have no fun

Don't touch no one

Covid-19

Dirty little virus

European Son lyrics - Iggy Pop & Matt Sweeney

You killed your European son

You spit on those under twenty-one

But now your blue cars are gone

You better say so long

Hey hey hey, bye bye bye

You made your wallpapers green

You want to make love to the scene

Your European son is gone

You'd better say so long

Your clowns bid you goodbye

Gold lyrics - Iggy Pop

(from "Gold" soundtrack)

It's okay, it's alright

The promise of the tongue

Leaving them behind tonight

But I guess this time, I'm doubled up

I'm doubled down again

I got no time to turn it around again

Hail to the thief

And you won't get nothing much

Hail to the thief

And we'll keep what's left to night

A little faith, too little pride

Will we ever get it right?

Keep looking for a sign tonight

But I guess it's time, I'm doubled up

And doubled down again

Got no time to turn it around again

Hail to the thief

And you won't get nothing much

Hail to the thief

And we'll keep what's left to night

Hail to the thief

And you won't get left in line

Hail to the thief

And we'll keep what's left to night

Silent Night (2022 Mix) lyrics - William Shatner & Iggy Pop

Silent night, Holy night

All is calm, all is bright

'Round yon Virgin Mother and Child

Holy Infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, Holy night

Son of God, love's pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Silent night, Holy night

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia

Christ the Savior is born

Silent night, Holy night

All is calm, all is bright

'Round yon Virgin Mother and Child

Holy Infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night

Sweet Betsy From Pike lyrics - Iggy Pop

Do you remember sweet Betsy from Pike?

She crossed the wide prairies with her lover Ike

With two yoke of cattle and one spottled hog

And a tall Shanghai rooster and an old yellow dog

They soon reached the desert where Betsy gave out

And down in the sand she lay rolling about

Ike half distracted looked on in surprise

Saying, "Betsy, get up, you'll get sand in your eyes"

Sweet Betsy got up in a great deal of pain

She declared she'd go back to Pike County again

But Ihe, he just sighed then they fondly embraced

So he traveled along with his arm 'round her waist

They swam the wide rivers and climbed the tall peaks

They camped upon prairies for weeks upon weeks

Starvation and cholera, hard work and slaughter

They reached California 'spite of hell and high water

Then a miner said, "Betsy, will you dance with me?"

She answers, "I will if you want make two free

I can't dance too hard, do you want to know why?

Because I'm so full of that strong alkali"

This Pike County couple got married, of course

But Ike became jealous, obtained a divorce

And Betsy, well-satisfied, said with a shout

"Goodbye, you big lummox, I'm glad you backed out!"

Why Can't We Live Together lyrics - Dr. Lonnie Smith & Iggy Pop

Tell me why?

Umm, why can't we live together?

Tell me why?

Umm, why can't we live together?

Everybody wants to live together

Why can't we live together?

No more wars, no more wars, no more war

Umm, just a little peace in this world

No more wars, no more war

All we want is some peace in this world

Everybody wants to live together

Why can't we live together?

Can't live, can't live

Can't live together

No matter, no matter what color

You are still my brother

No matter, no matter what color

You are still my brother

Everybody wants to live together

Why can't we live together?

Be together

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

Be together

You Want It Darker lyrics - Iggy Pop

(originally by Leonard Cohen)

If you are the dealer

I'm out of the game

If you are the healer

It means I'm broken and lame

If thine is the glory

Then mine must be the shame

You want it darker

We kill the flame

Magnified, sanctified

Be thy holy name

Vilified, crucified

In the human frame

A million candles burning

For the help that never came

You want it darker

Hineni, hineni

I'm ready, my Lord

There's a lover in the story

But the story's still the same

There's a lullaby for suffering

And a paradox to blame

But it's written in the scriptures

And it's not some idle claim

You want it darker

We kill the flame

They're lining up the prisoners

And the guards are taking aim

I struggled with some demons

They were middle-class and tame

I didn't know I had permission

To murder and to maim

You want it darker

Hineni, hineni

I'm ready, my Lord

Magnified, sanctified

Be thy holy name

Vilified, crucified

In the human frame

A million candles burning

For the love that never came

You want it darker

We kill the flame

If you are the dealer

Let me out of the game

If you are the healer

I'm broken and lame

If thine is the glory

Mine must be the shame

You want it darker

Hineni, hineni

I'm ready, my Lord

I'm ready

(I'm ready, my Lord)

I'm ready, my Lord

I Wanna Be Your Dog lyrics - Iggy Pop

I'm so messed up, I want you here

Well, in my room, I want you here

Now we're gonna be face to face

And I'll lay right down in my favorite place

Now I wanna be your dog

Well, come on

Well, now I'm ready to close my eyes

Now I'm ready to close my mind

Now I'm ready to feel your hand

And lose my heart on the burning sands

Now I wanna be your dog

Well, come on

I'm so messed up, I want you here

But in my room, I want you here

And now we're gonna be face to face

And I'll lay right down in my favorite place

Now I wanna be your dog

Well, come on

If You're Going To The City lyrics - Iggy Pop

(originally by Mose Allison)

If you're goin' to the city

You better have some cash

If you're goin' to the city

You better have some cash

'Cause the people in the city

They don't take no trash

If you're goin' to the city

You better bolt your door

If you're goin' to the city

You better bolt your door

They'll take all what you got

And come back for more

In the city, in the city

In the city, pretty baby

In the city

If you're goin' to the city

There's one thing I hope

If you're goin' to the city

There's one thing I hope

Don't take money from a woman

Or mess around with dope

Don't mess around with dope

Stay its cool

Alright

Lust For Life (The Prodigy Remix) lyrics - Iggy Pop

(from "T2 Trainspotting" soundtrack)

Here comes Johnny Yen again

With the liquor and drugs

And the flesh machine

He's gonna do another striptease

Hey, man, where'd you get that lotion?

I been hurting since I bought the gimmick

About something called love

Yeah something called love

That's like hypnotizing chickens

Well I am just a modern guy

Of course I've had it in the ear before

Cause of a lust for life

I got a lust for life

I'm worth a million in prizes

With my torture film

Drive a G.T.O

Wear a uniform

All on a government loan

I'm worth a million in prizes

Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk

No more beating my brains

With the liquor and drugs

Well I am just a modern guy

Of course I've had it in the ear before

Cause of a lust for life

I got a lust for life

Lust for life

I got a lust for life

A lot of lust for life

Well I'm just a modern guy

Of course I've had it in the ear before

I got a lust for life

A lot of lust for life

I got a lust for life

Lust for life

Here comes Johnny Yen again

With the liquor and drugs

And the flesh machine

I know he's gonna do another striptease

Hey, man, where'd you get that lotion?

Your skin starts itching once you buy the gimmick

About something called love

Oh, love, love, love

About something called love, called love

Oh, love, love, love

Mobile lyrics - Pan Amsterdam & Iggy Pop (feat. Leron Thomas)

Two scratchers, Beef jerky, and a Power Ball

I paint self hate portraits in acrylic

Since pedophiles think I'm not photogenic

So cook up what you want in your burnt out skillet

Just know I do hunt and do know how to kill it

You think you get the cow from the milk, the worm from the silk

The friggin' slave from the quilt

Put food on my table one day but mad 'cause I didn't offer you lemonade from lemons

Planted by Lady Day

Strange fruit hangin, dead your syringe

Distorted guitars make white soul djs cringe

Pan Am's plasma makes hair on heads singe

X-class solar flare, I impinge

Give you vegetation and life but don't get to close

I ain't your star gate, burn you up like Sunday's pot roast

Like old fast food grease, and burnt onion rings

Don't worry about the two thousand in over rings

Aiight

Consider me your most humble worker

I'm lookin' at you as I make your burger

And when I punch out I'm up to nothin funny

Just at the gas station makin' the city money

And when I'm next in line I'm in it to win it

Playin' the lotto dreamy eyed like I was Tony Bennett

When I lose consolation rolls up in a minute

Toothless meth head offerin', mad clinic

Some are better than the rest of us

Reaching Nirvana with tooth ferries gazing out windows at Pegasus

More mobile than the rest of us,

Takin' life by the jugular, the be the best of regular

Back in the driver's seat Iggy be the passenger

Concession stand delicacies for my scavengers

Kicked outta Dawson's creek, darkness be a challenger

Poison Ivy still yields plans on my calendar

Ebony and Ivory

Wonder and McCartney, They in the backseat

We takin no briberies, shame you like Rwanda for takin the ivory outta the

Elephant's teeth

We playin musical chairs,

And you still lose if the music stops even if your PR did not

No kissin' fake derrieres

Cause we still choose what's cream of the crop even if your AR forgot

To Hell with your trials and tribulations

You're flippin burgers go prep the station

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA This here Hahahahaha...

Two scratchers, Beef jerky, and a Power Ball [repeats]

Move Your Hand lyrics - Dr. Lonnie Smith & Iggy Pop

Move your hand

Cause I can't see it

Move your hand

Cause I can't see it

I remember that day

You came my way

I remember that day

You came my way

And I said

Move your hand

Cause I can't see it

Move your hand

Cause I can't see it

Hey hey hey

Move your hand

Cause I can't see it

Move your hand

Cause I can't see it

Since the day I saw you

I've been waiting for you

Since the day I saw you

I've been waiting for you

Move your hand

Cause I can't see it

Move your hand

Cause I can't see it

Hey hey hey hey hey hey

Hey

You better move

Lord you better move

Damn

You better move you better move

You better move

Move your hand

I can't see it

Red Right Hand lyrics - Iggy Pop & Jarvis Cocker

(originally by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds)

Take a little walk to the edge of town

And go across the tracks

Where the viaduct looms

Like a bird of doom

As it shifts and cracks

Where secrets lie in the border fires

In the humming wires

Hey man, you know

You're never coming back

Past the square, past the bridge

Past the mills, past the stacks

On a gathering storm comes

A tall handsome man

In a dusty black coat with

A red right hand

He'll wrap you in his arms

Tell you that you've been a good boy

He'll rekindle all the dreams

It took you a lifetime to destroy

He'll reach deep into the hole

Heal your shrinking soul

But there won't be a single thing

That you can do

He's a God, he's a man

He's a ghost, he's a guru

They're whispering his name

Through this disappearing land

But hidden in his coat

Is a red right hand

Red right hand

You don't have no money?

He'll get you some

You don't have no car?

He'll get you one

You don't have no self-respect

You feel like an insect

Well don't you worry buddy

'Cause here he comes

Through the ghettos and the barrio

And the bowery and the slum

A shadow is cast wherever he stands

Stacks of green paper in his

Red right hand

You'll see him in your nightmares

You'll see him in your dreams

He'll appear out of nowhere but

He ain't what he seems

Because, you'll see him in your head

On the TV screen

And hey buddy, I'm warning

You to turn it off

He's a ghost, he's a God

He's a man, he's a guru

He's a ghost, he's a God

He's a man, he's a guru

You're one microscopic cog

In his catastrophic plan

Designed and directed by his

Red right hand

Break Into Your Heart lyrics - Iggy Pop

I'm gonna break into your heart
I'm gonna crawl under your skin
I'm gonna break into your heart
And follow till I see where you begin

Times so tight,it's closing in
Forty more hours to go
When the tumblers spin
I'm getting in
Gonna be time to grow

I'm gonna break into your heart
I'm gonna crawl under your skin
I'm gonna break into your heart
And follow till I see where you begin

Hooks go deep, but it's make believe
But you're never gonna grow
Your heart is buried underneath
Mountains capped with snow

I'm gonna break into your heart
I'm gonna crawl under your skin
I'm gonna break into your heart
And follow till I see where you begin

Break them all
Take them all
Fake them all
Steal them all
Fail them all
Touch them all
Break them all
Break them all

I'm gonna break into your heart
I'm gonna break into your heart
I'm gonna break into your heart
I'm gonna break into your heart
Till it all comes crashing down

I'm gonna break into your heart
I'm gonna crawl under your skin
I'm gonna break into your heart
And follow till I get under your skin
And the wall comes tumbling down
And you finally let me in
I'll break into your

Gardenia lyrics - Iggy Pop

Gardenia
Where are you?
Black goddess in a shabby raincoat
Where are you tonight?
Cheap purple baby-doll dress
A gardenia in your hair
Much taller and stronger than me
A forbidden dream, a dream, a dream

All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight

Gardenia
Where are you tonight?
The streets were your home
Now where do you roam?
Your hourglass ass
And your powerful back
Your slant devil eyes
And the ditch down your spine
Deep as... Deep as...

All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight

We lay in the darkness
Then she turned the lights on
I saw a dangerous habit
When she turned the lights on
There's always a catch
In the darkness when you
When you turn the lights on
There's always a catch
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well

All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight

Alone in the cheapo motel
By the highway to hell
America's greatest living poet
Was ogling you all night
You should be wearing the finest gown
But here you are now
Gas, food, lodging, poverty, misery and gardenia
You could be burned at the stake
For all your mistakes, mistakes, mistakes

All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight

American Valhalla lyrics - Iggy pop

I have no plans, I have no debts
The mind is not the carefree set
I'm looking for American Valhalla
So if it passes by give me a holler
Please

I've shot my gun, I've used my knife
This hasn't been an easy life
I'm hoping for American Valhalla
But if I have outlived my use
Please drink my juice

Innocence
It's so hard to figure it out
Innocence
It's so hard to figure it out
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
It's so hard to figure it out
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

Where is American Valhalla
Death is the pill that's tough to swallow
Is there anybody in there?
Who do I have to kill?
I'm not the man with everything
I've nothing, but my name

Lowly, lowly deeds
That no one sees
Lowly, lowly deeds
That no one sees

Where is American Valhalla
Death is the pill that's hard to swallow
Is anybody in there?
And can I bring a friend?
I'm not the man with everything
I've nothing, but my name
I've nothing, but my name
I've nothing, but my name
I've nothing, but my name
I've nothing, but my name

In The Lobby lyrics - Iggy Pop

Breaking zee chain in the lobby
An ocean of bodies
And then there's me
And I hope I'm not
Losing my life tonight

And it's all about the hang
And it's all about the crowd that hangs
And it's all about the hook

Somebody is losing their life tonight

I followed my shadow
And it lead me here
What is the problem
If I disappear?
And I hope I'm not
Losing my life tonight

And it's all about the edge
And it's all about the fans and kids
And it's all about the sex
And it's all about guns

Yeah
I followed my shadow tonight
Out of the light

Yeah
I followed my shadow tonight
Out of the light

My shadow is walking
In front of me
The longer the night
The shorter my leash
And it's a long, long night
And I hope I'm not
Losing my life tonight

And it's all about the kicks
And it's all about the dancing pricks
And it's all about the clowns
And it's all about guns

Yeah
I followed my shadow tonight
Out of the light

Yeah
I followed my shadow tonight
Out of the light

Out of the light
Get out of sight

Out of the light
Get out tonight

Out of the light
Get out of sight

Out of the light
Get out tonight

Sunday lyrics - Iggy Pop

This house, is as slick as a senator’s statement
This job is a masquerade of recreation
Like a wreck, I’m sinking fast

The key to everything
I crawl for Sunday
When I don’t have to move
Caught up in dreams untangled one day
Where I don’t have to prove
The days roll on and finally Sunday
A Sunday afternoon
I’ve got it all
But what’s it for?
But getting some more

Always ready, always steady and
Always ready, always steady and…

The street is as cold as a corporate law suit
A pride, I can’t jive is telling me to wipe my boots
I’m a wreck
What did you expect?

The key to everything
I crawl for Sunday
When I don’t have to move
Caught up in dreams untangled one day
Where I don’t have to prove
The days roll on and finally Sunday
A Sunday afternoon
I’ve got it all
And so what now?

(Do what they say and then do what they say, go back)
(Do what they say and then do what they say, go back)
(Do what they say and then do what they say, go back)
Do what they say and do what they say till Sunday
(Do what they say)
Until I’m black and blue
Oh what can I do?

Always ready, always steady and
Always ready, always steady and...

Got all I need and it is killing me
And you
[x6]

Vulture lyrics - Iggy Pop

[Intro: Josh Homme]
Okay, cool

[Verse 1: Iggy Pop]
Fat, black vulture
White head hung low
Chewin' dead meat
By the side of the road
His evil breath
Smells just like death
He takes no chances
He knows the dances

[Refrain: Iggy Pop]
Vulture, ooh
Vulture, ooh
Vulture, ooh
Vulture, ooh

[Guitar Break]

[Verse 2: Iggy Pop]
Vulture waiting
For a life to end
Proving the prophet
He's nobody's friend
If he gets near
Your bones he'll clear
He'll jump your bandwagon
'Til it's your corpse he's draggin'

[Refrain: Iggy Pop]
Vulture, ooh
Vulture, ooh
Vulture, ooh
Vulture, ooh
Vulture
Vulture

[Verse 3: Iggy Pop]
Fat, black vulture
Has got no shame
He'll tell a lie
Cheat, steal, and frame
His poison whiff
Will kill you stiff
This toxic executive
Wants your guts in his grip

[Refrain: Iggy Pop]
Vulture, ooh
Vulture, ooh
Vulture, ooh
Vulture, ooh
Vulture
Vulture
Vulture
Vulture

[Outro: Iggy Pop]
Whoa
Oh...

German Days lyrics - Iggy Pop

Speak easy
Knock on the door
They'll check you out
Through the peep hole

There's a man
Who knows what you want
There's a girl
Who'll capture your flag

Glittering champagne on ice
Garish and overpriced

Champagne on ice
Dish overpriced

Schnellimbiss
And Pope Benedict
Brilliant brains
And the end of pain

Germany
Must germinate
Germinate
In a German way

Garish and overpriced
Glittering champagne on ice

Berlin and Christ
Champagne on ice

German Days
German Days
German Days
German Days

German Days

Chocolate Drops lyrics - Iggy Pop

When your love of life is an empty beach
Don't cry (Don't cry)
When your enemy has you in his reach
Don't die (Don't die)
When it's painful to express the things you feel (Inside)
When it hurts to share because they're bare and real (So real)
So when every day is judgement day, I won't pray (Don't pray)
When there's no one to share that empty chair, well OK (OK)

When you get to the bottom, you're near the top
The shit turns into chocolate drops
When you get to the bottom, you're near the top
The shit turns into chocolate drops
Drops
So fly (So fly)
So fly (So fly)

When your love of life is an empty beach (Don't cry)
When is painful to express the things you feel (Inside)

When you get to the bottom, you're near the top
The shit turns into chocolate drops
When you get to the bottom, you're near the top
The shit turns into chocolate drops

There is nothing in the stars if you fail to move
There is nothing in the dark, it's just some old excuse
Hanging on, let it go!

Paraguay lyrics - Iggy Pop

Wild animals they do
Never wonder why
Just do what they goddamn do
(Yeah)

Wild animals they do
Never wonder why
Just do what they goddamn do

I'm goin' where sore losers go
To hide my face and spend my dough
Though it's a dream, it's not a lie
And I won't stop to say goodbye

Paraguay
Paraguay

See I just couldn't take no more
Of whippin' fools and keepin' score
I just thought "well, fuck it man"
I'm gonna pack my soul and scram

Paraguay
Paraguay

Out of the way I'll get away
Won't have to hear the things they say
Tamales and a bank account
Are all I need, so count me out

Paraguay
Paraguay

I'll have no fear
I'll know no fear
So far from here
I'll have no fear
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Tra-la-la-la
Tra-la-la-la
Tra-la-la-la
Tra-la-la-la

Wild animals they do
Never wonder why
Just do what they goddamn do

There's nothing awesome here
Not a damn thing
There's nothing new
Just a bunch of people scared
Everybody's fucking scared
Fear eats all the souls at once
I'm tired of it
And I dream about getting away
To a new life
Where there's not so much fucking knowledge
I don't want any of this information
I don't want YOU
No
Not anymore
I've had enough of you
Yeah, I'm talking to you
I'm gonna go to Paraguay
To live in a compound under the trees
With servants and bodyguards who love me
Free of criticism
Free of manners and mores
I wanna be your basic clod
Who made good
And went away while he could
To somewhere where people are still human beings
Where they have spirit
You take your motherfucking laptop
And just shove it into your goddamn foul mouth
And down your shit heel gizzard
You fucking phony two faced three timing piece of turd
And I hope you shit it out
With all the words in it
And I hope the security services read those words
And pick you up and flay you
For all your evil and poisonous intentions
Because I'm sick
And it's your fault
And I'm gonna go heal myself now
Yeah!

"Préliminaires" (2009)

Les Feuilles Mortes lyrics - Iggy Pop

Oh, je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes
Des jours heureux ou nous etions amis
En ce temps-la la vie etait plus belle
Et le soleil plus brulant qu'aujourd'hui

Les feuilles mortes se ramassent a la pelle
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublie
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent a la pelle
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi

Et le vent du nord les emporte
Dans la nuit froide de l'oubli
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublie
La chanson que tu me chantais

C'est une chanson qui nous ressemble
Toi, tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Et nous vivions tous les deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimais, moi qui t'aimais

Mais la vie separe ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement, sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable
Les pas des amants desunis

I Want To Go To The Beach lyrics - Iggy Pop

I wanna go to the beach
I don't care if it's decadent
I don't know where my spirit went
But that's alright

I wanna go to the deep
'Cause there's nowhere I want to be
And nobody I want to see
But that's alright

Particles of pain in my brain
I guess they're here to stay
They work their way inside
And I can't hide or even walk away

You can convince the world
That you're some kind of superstar
When an asshole is what you are
But that's alright

Waiting, hating the shit life throws my way
Hating, waiting to make my escape

I wanna go to the beach

King Of The Dogs lyrics - Iggy Pop

I got a smelly rear, I got a dirty nose
I don't want no shoes, I don't want no clothes
I'm living like the king of the dogs

I got a piece of meat in between my teeth
I will bite your throat if you move on me
I am sovereign 'cause I'm the king of the dogs

Polite life will fill you full of cancer
I don't even own a pair of pants
I'm a dancer, baby

I'm deadly 'cause I'm the king of the dogs

I'm hanging out where the spirits dwell
I can smell the things that you cannot smell
I'm deadly, I'm the king of the dogs

Spanish Coast lyrics - Iggy Pop

Die, die, die on a Spanish coast
Die like a clown with no friend around
This used to be a Spanish town

Die, die, die on a Spanish coast
Die like a fly with no lover to sigh
On a high white box in a pile of rocks
You'll go crazy by the hazy sea

Die, die, die on a Spanish coast
Die like a love when you killed a dove
If you don't believe
Then your angels leave and you lose it
You can't use it, life

How Insensitive lyrics - Iggy Pop

How insensitive I must have seemed
When you told me that you loved me
How unmoved and cold I must have seemed
When you told me so sincerely

Why you might have asked
Did I just turn and stare away in icy silence?
What was I to do?
What can you do when a love affair is over?

Now I'm alone
And I see all the heartache in your last look
Vague and drawn and sad I see it still
All the memory of that last look

Why you might have asked
Did I just turn and went in icy silence?
What was I to do?
What can you do when a love affair is over?

Party Time lyrics - Iggy Pop

It's party time and I smell slime
You stupid people make me evil

Dicks and asses, cocktail glasses
Parlor games, exchange of fluids

'Cause it's party time, it's party time
It's party time, I got the slime

Here's a brute, isn't he cute?
He needs a hole to bury his soul in

'Cause it's party time, it's party time
It's party time, I got the slime, I got the slime

A Machine For Loving lyrics - Iggy Pop

Two weeks after my arrival Fox died just after sunset
I was stretched out on the bed when he approached
And tried painfully to jump up he wagged his tail nervously
Since the beginning he hadn't touched his bowl once
He had lost a lot of weight

I helped him to settle on my lap
For a few seconds he looked at me
With a curious mixture of exhaustion and apology
Then, calmed, he closed his eyes
Two minutes later he gave out his last breath

I buried him beside the residence
At the western extremity of the land
Surrounded by the protective fence
Next to his predecessors

During the night a rapid transport
From the Central City dropped off an identical dog
They knew the codes and how to work the barrier
I didn't have to get up to greet them

A small white and ginger mongrel
Came toward me wagging its tail
I gestured to him
He jumped on the bed and stretched out beside me

Love is simple to define
But it seldom happens in the series of beings
Through these dogs we pay homage to love
And to its possibility

What is a dog but a machine for loving
You introduce him to a human being giving him the mission to love
And however ugly, perverse, deformed or stupid this human being might be
The dog loves him, the dog loves him

"Skull Ring" (2003)

Little Electric Chair lyrics - Iggy Pop (feat. The Stooges)

You didn't mean to do it
But you did it again
The night started out
Fuckin' around with your friends
Somebody screamed and thingd went bad
Now you're standing accused
And the prosectuor says you should be dead

And they're fryin'up your hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up your hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up your hair
In that little electric chair
Fryin' up your hair
In that little electric chair

Electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair

Easy street is nice in a lawless nation
The police puts some flyers in circulation
Stuck one in my door with some scary mugshot
They're looking for some bad boys
Height, weight, age, race, tatoos too

But they're fryin'up that hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up some hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up some hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up that hair
In that little electric chair

Electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair

The people are quietly lusting for blood
They wanna live in peace but they don't wanna budge
From their lazy ways and lazy notions
If the other half's win
Let' em eat pigeons
And live in prison

And they're fryin'up that hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up some hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up that hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up some hair
In that little electric chair

Electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair

Perverts In The Sun lyrics - Iggy Pop (feat. The Trolls)

The USA is movin' south
Our power is mostly mouth
Miami beach to Malibu
Hot weather makes'em wanna screw
Shemales, jumps bails
Weird tales on the scales
If it fails chip'n dale
Hit the gym in animal skin

Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone

Fruit punch
Go to crunch
Take a pill
Lose your will
Get a job, in street promotion
Pushing handbills on the ocean
Gang fights all night
Garbages can's got a tan
Rich men and hungry chicks
Stick'em in the blender - hey big spender !

Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone

O.J, O.J, Jose Sammy too, got nothin' to do
The realtor hit the floor
He's disgusted
Wants to get'em all busted

Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone

You guys are perverts

Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone

Skull Ring lyrics - Iggy Pop (feat. The Stooges)

Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Money

Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Fancy things

The touch of a hand in the wasteland
you're walking asleep and dreaming cheap
A bird's wing don't beat for free
You're freezing cold and your family

Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Money

Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Fancy things

Fingers on fire to do what's bad
Ring on the finger is a skull man
Strong as a bar of steel
Weakness is that you can't feel

Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Money

Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Fancy things

My life is dirtied, my mind is loaded
I'm feeling and breathing and fighting
To see
People get ready now
Baby come on give your heart to me

Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Money

Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Fancy things

Superbabe lyrics - Iggy Pop (feat. The Trolls)

I made love to a superbabe
I kinda wondered how I did
It may be pointless to describe her
But she has the power of gravity
She used a voodoo force on me

Big tits high ass
Long legs flat stomach
Helped her cover all my dreams with sleep
She's using mojo energy
Snake hips full lips
Strong things green eyes
Superbabe
White teeth fresh meat
Just like the TV
Superbabe

She's got the wild stuff
Makes love for good luck
Superbabe
Dont miss with her kiss
Won't duck from a woaaaw
Superbabe
Superbabe

I made love to a superbabe
So tell me what else could I do
Untill I couldn't do no more
Or even know what for
Forever and a day
I'm gonna jump on superbabe

Fame, drugs and money cannot save me
And evils everywhere
But here comes superbabe
She's USA prime all the way
One two three four
Who the fuck are we for
Superbabe

Five six seven eight
I can relate superbabe
Don't miss with her kiss
Won't duck from a woaaaw
Superbabe

She's got the wild stuff
Makes love for good luck
Superbabe
Superbabe
Superbabe

Fame, drugs and money cannot save me
Superbabe
Superbabe

It may be pointless to describe her
Superbabe
Superbabe

Loser lyrics - Iggy Pop (feat. The Stooges)

Allright
The feet in my boots
Are shaking their roots
For a reason
I'm looking at you
And you're too much to chew
For a reason
And the problems you got
Are the problems you got
For a reason
And what you are not
Is what you are not
For a reason

There's a decadent home
Where there should be control
I can't live anymore

There's a festering truth
Where there should be the truh
I can't live anymore

You wanna blame me
But you got misery
For a reason
And the way that you lose
Is the way that you chose
For a reason
And if this is a slam
I don't give a damn
For a reason
Cuz the point of this song
Is I'm moving along
For a reason

There's a bottomless pit
And you've got me in it
I can't live anymore
You're a tower of a cruel
And I feel a fool
I can't take it anymore

You're a loser
You're a loser
You're a loser
You're a loser
You're a loser
For a reason

You're a loser

The feet in my boots
Are shaking their roots
For a reason
For a reason
For a reason
For a reason

Private Hell lyrics - Iggy Pop (feat. Green Day)

I have a private hell
Of excellent quality
I've dwelt there for years
Playing with my fears

It's tastefull, luxurious,
And full of sexuality
And though they are tears
I controll them with my gears

Well all in all,
I must tell you,
Well I must tell you,
I'm so proud of my private hell

Anger and greed brew
And then they stamped
Till I can transmute
Them into more loot

It's tastefull, luxurious,
And full of sexuality
And though they are tears
I controll them with my gears

Well all in all,
I must tell you,
Well I must tell you,
I'm so proud of my private hell

Well all in all,
I must tell you,
Well I must tell you,
I'm so proud of my private hell

Little Know It All lyrics - Iggy Pop (feat. Sum 41)

I'm the kid that no one knows
I live a life I never chose
With these thoughts in my mind
On my own, my own

I'm face to face with the unknown
My Scary Movie will be shown
I got one evil mind
Of my own, of my own

We take from one another
And never stop to wonder
How it feels from the other side
When nothing lasts forever
When stupid turns to clever
Why are you surprised?

Little know it all (little know it all)
Ten bucks in my hand
Little know it all (little know it all)
Don't cry, I understand
So!

I'm a target of the smart
They got ambition, I got heart
I'm analyzed and tagged
Before I start

So tell me, who can I respect?
I feel the leash around my neck
As I find out there's shame
In the game (in the game)

We take from one another
And never stop to wonder
How it feels from the other side
When nothing lasts forever
When stupid turns to clever
Why are you surprised?

And I feel like.. I'm caught outside the box
And I feel like.. I'm sleeping when I'm not

[Guitarsolo] Look it's for a real thing, it's for a real thing

We take from one another
And never stop to wonder
How it feels from the other side
When nothing lasts forever
When stupid turns to clever
Why are you surprised?

Little know it all (little know it all)
Ten bucks in my hand
Little know it all (little know it all)
Don't cry, I understand

You little know it all (little know it all)
Ten bucks in my hand
Little know it all (little know it all)
Don't cry, I understand

You never know at all

Whatever lyrics - Iggy Pop (feat. The Trolls)

I'm sittin' like a stone
On a solitary evening
Without my girl
Life has no meaning
She didn't say why
And she didn't say what for
she just said "I've been thinking it over"
And whatever,
Whatever
Whatever
She doesn't want to play
And her voice just fades away
Whatever

The solution to love
I haven't found yet
Does God have curlers and a
Lairnet
Everything I say comes out
To be a no no
The feelings I had were the
Only promo
Whatever
Whatever
Whatever
She doesn't want to play
And her voice just fades away
Whatever

Now I'm just one of the Joes
On the corner
I guess I ought to stay home
And watch the porno
I wanna get close
But no one
Will let me
I wish someone would react out
A and get me
Whatever
Whatever
Whatever
She doesn't want to play
And her voice just fades
She doesn't want to play
And her face just fades
She doesn't want to play
And her touch just fades away

Whatever
Whatever
Whatever

Rock Show lyrics - Iggy Pop (feat. Peaches)

Rockshow
You came to see a rockshow
A big gigantic cock show
You came to see it all

Rock show
You came to hear it
You came to sear it
You came to do it all

If you think you're gonna
Get it for credit
Forget it
Don't bet
Call the medic
He's pathetic
He's got to let it go

Let's go
Rock show
Come on
Rock show
You came to see a rock show
This isn't a fuckin' talk show
You came to see it all

Rock show
You came to fear it
You came to sear it
You came to do it all

It's me you want for credit
Forget it
Don't panic
Call in the medic
He's pathethic
He's got to let it go

Cause if you gonna get it
For credit
Forget it
Don't bet it
Call in the medic
It's pathetic
He's gonna let it go

Let's go
Rock show
Come on
Rock show
Let's go
Rock show
Let's go
Rock show

Til Wrong Feels Right lyrics - Iggy Pop

I took a poundin'
From the radio today
I heard the radio say some piece of shit
Was it the sound of today ?

I took a bitin' 'beating'
When I saw my TV play, I saw my TV play
Over and over

And there were no escape
The box is hallow

And that riff is fucking dead,
That riff is fucking dead,
But the riff is poundin'

In my fucking head
They're gonna push it
Untill false is true
Untill day is night

They're gonna push it baby
Untill wrong feels right
Untill wrong feels right

It's a big industry
And they can beat my brain
With houses and wars and chains

They are insane
Yeah
But they can beat my brain

God and his captains
They won't pull a fucking plug
They won't pull a fucking plug
And give the skies
Back to the birds and bugs

"Beat 'Em Up" (2001)

Mask lyrics - Iggy Pop

You're wearing a mask
You're wearing a mask
You're wearing a mask
You look better that way

You're wearing a mask
You're wearing a mask
You're wearing a mask
You look better that way

Are you my friend?
Are you my plumber?
Are you my God?
What do you do?

Wearing a mask
You're wearing a mask
You're wearing a mask
Which mask are you?
Which mask are you?

Complicated, crushed up, disappointed
Squirming, angry, thrusting, stabbing, regretting, starving
Greedy human alien being, struggling down the street
Up the alley, in the elevator, through the party
To the office, in the bedroom, on your way to the morgue

Bullshitting, lying, doing a good deed or feeling loved barely possible
Aware of insatiable demands of not a society all around you
Chunky frat boys in their shorts, pimps with old Semite eyes
Sex hoochies of the jungle, sensitive smart Alec college graduates

Critics fronting franticly in New York city, every body in L.A.
Just plain licking ass or having it licked
Irony in place of balls, balls in place of brains
Brains in place of soul, where is the soul?
Where is the love, where am I?

Which mask are you?
Which mask are you?
Which mask are you?

You're wearing a mask
You're wearing a mask
You're wearing a mask
Which mask are you?

L.O.S.T. lyrics - Iggy Pop

I got my work
I got my work
The profit of doom is walking the beach
With a psychotic breakdown cardboard sign
Everything's faked and there's nothing to teach,
And there's no point in running crying

And i'm l.o.s.t. lost
I'm l.o.s.t. lost
I'm l.o.s.t. lost
I'm l.o.s.t. lost
In a garden of evil
In a garden of evil
In a garden of evil
In a garden of evil
Evil

I walk through the filthy sterile wasteland
When i'm no good they'll dump me on a scrap heap to die
Giant american tyrannosaur,
Even the animals are running away.
I'm l.o.s.t. lost
I'm l.o.s.t. lost
I'm l.o.s.t. lost
I'm l.o.s.t. lost
L.o.s.t. lost
In a garden of evil
In a garden of evil
In a garden of evil
In a garden of evil
Evil
Evil baby
I got my work
Yeah

I walk through the filthy sterile wasteland
When i'm no good they'll dump me on a scrap heap to die
Giant american tyrannosaur,
Even the animals are running away

I'm l.o.s.t. lost
I'm l.o.s.t. lost
I'm l.o.s.t. lost
I'm l.o.s.t. lost

Howl lyrics - Iggy Pop

Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowl
Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowl
...

Fuck it
I feel like howling
Got nowhere to turn
They'll kill you
For your spirit
This is what you learn

The music of tomorrow is
What you feel today
The owners of the future
Is not the one they say

A montain of faces
Is rapin' my ear
I'm glad that my pride is
Stronger than my fear

I'm howling, baby
I'm howling, baby
Howling, baby

I knew the producer
He's got lots of tricks
He is the starmaker
The bands are little pricks

The music of tomorrow is
What you feel today
The owners of the future
Is not the one they say

A montain of faces
Is rapin' my ear
I'm glad that my pride is
Stronger than my fear

I'm howling, baby
I'm howling, baby
I'm howling, baby
I'm howling, baby
Howling, baby
Howling, baby
Howling, baby
Howling, baby
I'm howling, baby

Football lyrics - Iggy Pop

I'm a football baby,
Rollin' round the field.
I've been passed and fumbled,
Till I don't know what I feel.
Everybody's the same,
They're all footballs too.
Setting up the big play
And trying to score.

I'm a football baby
In a football game
I'm a football baby
Run-kick

Life's a football game,
As every chump and champ knows.
We don't touch, we collide,
Till we're worn out inside.
We're kicking each other,
Right where it hurts,
Setting up the big play,
And trying to score.

I'm a football baby,
In a football game
I'm a football baby,
I'm a football baby,
In a football game
I'm a football baby,
Block-pass
I'm a football baby,
In a football game
I'm a football baby,
Run-kick-hit-goal .

Savior lyrics - Iggy Pop

If The saviour came again today,
Would you like him or turn him away,
Would he have a girlfriend with a thong,
Or a boy group singing dumbass songs.
Would he be a rapper with a gun,
Or a bugger building steel buns.
If the saviour was crucified to lose
What's the difference?

Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here

Watch me walk on water
Watch me walk on water
Watch me walk on water
Before they...
Put me in a box

We Should have never
Gotten another break,
Praying is an art for it's own sake,
Would he have a pair of Gucci shoes...
With a pitbull

Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here

Watch me walk on water
Watch me walk away on water
Watch me walk on water

Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here

Watch me walk on water
Watch me walk away on water
Watch me walk on water

Beat 'Em Up lyrics - Iggy Pop

You gotta beat em
Beat beat em up
You gotta beat em
Beat beat em up
You gotta beat em

Talking Snake lyrics - Iggy Pop

Look what you have done,
Ruined every single one.
See what fools they are,
Jealous of a simple star.
Feel the 4 winds blow,
Let the sword hang low (baby)

Life's to take,
Says the talking snake,
Everybody should be happy
Life's to take,
Says the talking snake,
Everybody should be happy

To tell the sucking truth,
Everybody's dreams get used.
Twist me till i drip,
Liquid of emotions ripped.
Every hungry soul,
Hides a hungry fool (baby)

Life's to take,
Says the talking snake,
Everybody should be happy
Life's to take,
Says the talking snake,
Everybody should be happy

Feel the 4 winds blow,
Let the sword hang low (baby)

Life's to take,
Says the talking snake,
Everybody should be happy
Life's to take,
Says the talking snake,
Everybody should be happy
Should be happy
Should be happy

The Jerk lyrics - Iggy Pop

Look, here comes the jerk!

See the guy with the fakey smile,
Talkin' to my girl in a friendly style.
He thinks he's quite the flirt,
She'd suck a rats' dick before she'd fuck
Him his brain is full of dirt,
That's why the guy's a jerk,
His balls are gonna burst,
Thats why the guy's a jerk

Oh man you're killin' me!
Hey man your killin me!

He hangs out by the ladies room,
His pick up line is like the voice of doom.
"Hey baby do ya wanna go out with me,
and by the way I make a lotta money."
His method just don't work,
That's why the guy's a jerk.
By the office Johnny lurks,
That's why the guy's a jerk

Jerk
Jerk
Jerk
Jerk
Jerk
Jerk
Jerk
Jerk
Jerk
Jerk
Jerk

Oh man you're killin' me!
Hey man your killin me!
look here comes the jerk
look here comes the jerk
look here comes the jerk
look here comes the jerk

Him his brain is full of dirt,
That's why the guy's a jerk,
His balls are gonna burst,
That's why the guy's a jerk

Oh man you're killin' me!
Hey man your killin me!

Death Is Certain lyrics - Iggy Pop

Death is the best
Better than all the rest
On the dutifull lies in the rock paradise
Losses and wear and the texture of age
Adds a truth to the heart
And a light to the face
It's good when you don't give as
Much of a fuck
As you did when the threats mount
To make you suck

A burst of rage
A lively cry
Emotions wide
Your death is certain for sure
My death is certain alright
But death is certain no cure
'Cause death is certain
'Cause death is certain so why?
Gotta diiiiiiiiie

A bone and a skull
In a conjugal hell
A mall full of gall
And the music jerks off
Pale and fate
At the table they sat
With their necks choking tight
In their collars dead white
Liquor and food 'till
They spin and explode
In a shower of crap
In America's lap

A pliceman's numb
A lazy bum
Emotions come
'Cause death is certain it's sure
'Cause death is certain it's pure
'Cause death is certain no cure
'Cause death is certain
'Cause death is certain that's why
Gotta die

Alright
Alright
Well, alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright

A beast with legs
A kid who's numb
A lazy bum
Your death is certain it's sure
'Cause death is certain it's pure
'Cause death is certain no cure
'Cause death is certain

Go For The Throat lyrics - Iggy Pop

I was lying in a coma
By the side of some damn road
My fucking heart was pounding
Like I thought it would explode
I had no protection
No familly
No friends
I had nothing really
But a will to make this end
Go for the throat
Go for the throat
Go for the throat
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
I'm so fucked'up

It isn't very nice
What I do to make end's meet
It isn't very pretty when you hate
The folks you meet
It's a shame to feel hurt and angry everyday
It's a shame to take it out
On whoever's in the way
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Man I'm so fucked'up
I'm fucked'up
I'm fucked'up
I'm fucked'up
I'm fucked'up
Man I'm so fucked'up

Poor little girl
I hurt her really bad
I haven't been the same since I lost my mom and dad
Where is the justice?
Well I really don't know
When everybody is singing
Like a fucking so and so
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Yeah I'm so fucked'up
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

They took away my freedom
They took away my games
They took away my innocence
And gave me shitty fame
There's nothing left to stop me
There's nothing left to feel
There's nothing left inside me
But a low down dirty deal
Go for the throat
Go for the throat
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up baby
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up baby
I'm so fucked'up baby
I'm so fucked'up
Oh I'm fucked'up
I'm so fucked'up
Oh I'm fucked'up
I'm so fucked'up
Oh I'm fucked'up
Go for the throat

Weasels lyrics - Iggy Pop

Weasels

Weasels are runnin me to death,
I checked my gas there ain't much left.
Still i will take a parting shot,
Before I leave myself to rot.

Barbaric motherfucking weasels

Weasels
Weasels

Weasels have always been my friends,
I've turned them loose now there's no end.
Giants of rock tell giant lies,
Weasels control the evil skies.
Barbaric motherfucking weasels,
Bad breath bad taste cause of deseases.

I feel disgrace and I feel shame,
I feel anger and I feel blame,
I feel suspicion and I feel pride,
I feel weasels on all sides.

Weasels
Weasels
Weasels
Weasels
Weasels

With guitars on t.v,
Weasels
Rewriting rock history,
Weasels
With an office and a chair,
Weasels
With nice butts and long silky hair.

Weasels suck and weasels blow,
Weasels control rock and roll
Weasels control rock and roll
Weasels control rock and roll
Weasels control rock and roll
Rock and roll
Rock and roll
Rock and roll

It's All Shit lyrics - Iggy Pop

If it walks like shit
Talks like shit
It must be shit

If it feels like shit
Tastes like shit
It must be shit

If it looks like shit
Sounds like shit
It must be shit

If it smells like shit
Tells like shit
It must be shit

See Times Square
A vacum of feeling
Listen, little man
Advertise this

That it's all shit
It's all shit
Nothing but shit
Billboard shit

Love just keeps on coming
Love will clean it up
Love just keeps on coming
Love will sweep it out
Love just keeps on coming
Love just keeps on coming

If it walks like a duck
Talks like a duck
It must be a duck

If it smells like a duck
Talks like a duck
It must be a duck

If it smells like a duck
Tastes like a duck
It's a goddam duck

If it feels like a duck
Tells like a duck
It must be a duck

If it looks like a duck
Sounds like a duck
It must be a duck

Walking blinded
Eternal night
Of hype no magic
Fake no love
Child are actors
How depressing
Little adults
With fancy pants
Ohhhhhhh

Love just keeps on coming
Love just keeps on coming, baby
Love just keeps on coming
Love just keeps on coming
Love will weed 'em out
Love just keeps on coming baby
Love just keeps on coming baby
Love
Love
Your fucking cache is over, baby
Skybar shit
Nobody cares
Nobody cares
Nobody cares
Nobody cares
Nobody cares

Ugliness lyrics - Iggy Pop

Ugly
Ahhhhhhhooooooooooooo
Uglyyyy!
C'mon! Yeah! hey! all right
You got an ugly ass guy,
He got a problem with his dick.
You got a song with no soul,
Fucking don't mean a thing.
He got an ugly bouzy house,
He got a girlfriend on T.V,
That girl's something,
He can't sing for shit.

And I'm trying to be a person,
But they all say I'm worthless.
I'm trying to be a person,
But they all make me nervous.
This is my description of an ugliness.
This is my description of an ugliness.
This is my description of an ugliness.
This is my description of an ugliness.
Ugliness
Ugliness
Ugliness

You got a dog face chic,
With basketball tit's.
Porno sucks,
That's the truth of it.
You got a bunch of dumb fat guys,
In a wrestling uniform,
Trying to fake they're playing music,
They ought to be killed.

And I'm trying to be a person,
But they all say I'm worthless.
I'm trying to be a person,
But they all say I'm worthless.
This is my description of an ugliness.
This is my description of an ugliness.
This is my description of an ugliness.
This is my description of an ugliness.
This is my description of an ugliness.
Ugliness

They got the chics, The money cars and all, but they ain't got no motherfuckin' balls.
They got the chics, The money cars and all, but they ain't got no motherfuckin' balls.

They got a fungus on their dick,
They got bald heads and tupe's,
They're in total control,
Total fucking control,
They're even parked in my space.

You got a song with no soul,
No truth no love.
Because the music sucks,
That's why little kids blow up.
Everybody needs a gun,
To express feelings,
That should be expressed by a real musician

And I'm trying to be a person,
But they all say I'm worthless.
I'm trying to be a person,
But they all say I'm worthless.
This is my description of an ugliness.
This is my description of an ugliness.
This is my description of an ugliness.
This is my description of an ugliness.
Ugliness
Ugliness
Ugliness

They got the car the money house and all, but they ain't got no motherfuckin' balls.
You see the cocksuckers on MTV, And they ain't even got a good CD.

Ugliness

V.I.P. lyrics - Iggy Pop

I'm a Very Important Person
I park in the V.I.P
And when I go to the bathroom,
I go in the V.I.P toilet
And when I wanna change a lightbalb,
I don't do it myself... Oooohhh no...
I have a technician
Cause I'm a V.I.P
I'm a V.I.P
I'm a V.I.P
I'm a V.I.P
Now,as I began to become a V.I.P,
I forgot what I've become a V.I.P for
I began to grow accustommed to people saying
"Right this way sir...drinks are on the house..."
Flight attendants on airplanes saying :

"Please...Really, I don't wanna bother you sir, but it's such a pleasure to have you on board.
May I have your autograph for my daughter?"
"Yeah baby right after I go to the toilet
I'll give you a couple of'em
Cause i'm a V.I.P!"

Now, one thing about V.I.P is, is they never seem to be alone
Ooohh no!
The "true" V.I.P must travel with an entourage!
People who say "Right on boss"
Cause it's a V.I.P!
Right on boss
I'm a V.I.P!
As I began to realise that I had gained V.I.P status,
worries began to creep in
What if one day, I woke up, and I was no longer a V.I.P?
No more good tables at the restaurants...
No more strange women smiling and approaching me on the streets...
No more top notch booty
No more entourage to say "Right boss"
I began to have nightmares
And in my nightmares, I was just a fucking nobody.
Laying at the beach, imagining myself being a VIP!
Just like I was before...
Hearing the applause in my head
Beautiful warm embraces of superior members of the female gender...

"Avenue B" (1999)

Long Distance lyrics - Iggy Pop

Alone with the phone again
The deepening light seeps in my mind
I'm desperate to hear a voice
Can this really be my choice?
I'm fifty and I'm tricky
And I'm sick of being alone
You're twenty-five and pretty
But you're old enough to know
That actions form a pattern
And the heart's the last to know
And I'm waitin' for another friend
Callin' long distance again

My mind is an antique room
There's overstuffed chairs and carpets too
Where nobody ever comes
It's a good place to run away from
And I'm runnin' from a love
With every step I take
And if I can fall for you then
From the last one I am saved
And it's a cold grey wet December
Shity shity day
And I'm waitin' for another friend
Calling long distance again

You're dark and your French voice is lovely
And you're bright eyes light the receiver across the miles
I'm listening close and I'm hoping
To learn love, but I don't know how
Calling long distance again
Calling long distance again
I'm calling long distance again
Calling long distance again

No Shit lyrics - Iggy Pop

It was in the winter of my fiftieth year
When it hit me
I was really alone
And there wasn't a hell a lot of time left
Every laugh and touch that I could get
Became more important
Strangely, I became more bookish
And my home and study meant more to me
As I considered the circumstances of my death
I wanted to find a balance between joy and dignity
On my way out
Above all, I didn't want to take any more shit
Not from anybody

Nazi Girlfriend lyrics - Iggy Pop

I want to fuck her on the floor
Among my books of ancient lore
So I will make a full report
I got a Nazi Girlfriend

It's not the four-inch heels she wears
It's not her baby-fine blond hair
It's more the desert in her stare
I've got a Nazi Girlfriend

She's not the colt
That she once was
She's elegant
But youth is lost
Still she has ways to make me talk
I love you Nazi Girl

Her French is perfect
So's her butt
She wears two crosses
Tangled up
She's independent
She's not dumb
Tough little Nazi Girl

So now I've fucked her on the floor
Among my books of ancient lore
And I have made a full report
About a Nazi Girl

Avenue B lyrics - Iggy Pop

Rapper standing on the corner
Wrappers flying in the wind
Waitress up from Alabama
Can't believe the cold she's in
And me, I'm sitting in my castle
On the verge of a divorce

And if I haven't got a hassle
I'll create my own, of course
Still I gotta live with my feelings
But I know about science too
And fame and death and money
And what they do to you

And I am gonna need a miracle
I am gonna need a miracle
I am gonna need a miracle
Tonight on Avenue B

I bought about a hundred candles
I'm burnin' em both night and day
I'm sleepin' when I should be eatin'
Cryin' when I should be gay
My girlfriend's warm and loves me
She's knockin' but she can't get in
I'm a product of the paranoia
Of the age I'm in

And I am gonna need a miracle
I'm really gonna need a miracle
I'm really gonna need a miracle
Tonight on Avenue B

I see the students out my window
They're walking in their student clothes
Eatin' books and information
To make their understanding grow
But this much I understand
It's hard to be an empty man
But since I gave `em every part of me
I ain't free

And I am gonna need a miracle
I am gonna need a miracle
I am gonna need a miracle
Tonight on Avenue B

I am gonna need a miracle
I am gonna need a miracle
I am gonna need a miracle
Tonight on Avenue B

Miss Argentina lyrics - Iggy Pop

Her skin is copper and her voice is Spanish red
Her vibe is golden 'till her anger kills it dead
She wants the world to see
A body rich in harmony
A mouth cruel as death

She rides a fantasy she hasn't tested yet
She looks in every mirror to check her silhouette
The turning heads
The honking horns
Gave proof to her
Since she was born
That love is her game

She loves me, Miss Argentina
Though she hides behind her smile
She runs free, Miss Argentina
Dripping blood
With lots of style

She loves to stay in bed and watch the movies play
She wants a husband who will worship and obey
The moods that she enjoys like children's' games and football toys
She laughs without shame

She likes the military and the Rolling Stones
Her little brother has a T-shirt from Ramones
She's shy and sensitive and doesn't know the tougher games
But boy can she love

She's easy, Miss Argentina
A masterpiece without a frame
She runs free, Miss Argentina
But Venus is a dangerous game

She saves my spirit with a humanistic light
She's greedy, lazy and impossible to like
She dresses sexually
And she's afraid of many things
Like being alone

She's back with mother now
She's over twenty-five
I tried to keep her, but she buried me alive
In love and birth and jealousy
And every emotion totally freed
Screaming at once

But she loves me, Miss Argentina
While she hides behind her smile
She runs free, Miss Argentina
Dripping blood with lots of style
She's lovely, Miss Argentina
A masterpiece without a frame
She's easy, Miss Argentina
But Venus is a dangerous game

Afraid to Get Close lyrics - Iggy Pop

Watching the cat sleep on my pillows
Afraid to get close to anyone and afraid not to
The need of all creatures to be warmed and touched
The girls who want dads
I think the writing is eating up myself
Preventing any togetherness with anyone
Hurting and recycling people over and over again
How much longer?
How many more?
I held her in my arms and I didn't want to realize
She was putting her life in my hands

Shakin' All Over lyrics - Iggy Pop

When you move in right up close to me
That's when I get the shivers all over me
Shivers down my backbone
I get the shakes in the thighbone
Shivers in my knee bone
Shakin' all over

Just the way you say goodnight to me
There's a feeling on the side of me
Shivers down my backbone
I got the shakes in my thighbone
Shivers in my kneebone
Shakin' all over

Just the way you say goodnight to me
Brings a feeling I'm inside of me
Shivers down my backbone
I've got the shakes in my thighbone
Oh shivers in my knee bone
I'm shakin' all over
I'm shakin' all over
I'm shakin' all over

When you're moving right up close to me
That's when I get the shivers all over me
Just the way you say goodnight to me
Brings a feeling outside of me
I'm shakin' all over
I'm shakin' all over
I'm shakin' all over
