Godley & Creme - Worm and The Rattlesnake lyrics

I wanna take you to the Garden of Eden Where they play Duane Eddy not Bert Weedon Wanna mingle with the riff raff and be a rebel So echo the ba** and turn up the treble Oh yeah, oh yeah I wanna smoke my cigarettes in peace I wanna brush out the parting and comb in the grease I wanna trade my tie for studs and buckles And tattoo your name across my knuckles Oh yeah I wanna tell the world she belongs to me I wanna carve the news in the bark of a tree A cupids heart with an arrow going through it The stupid part is even then I knew she was wrong for me Oh yeah I was as jealous as hell cause he was just a kid And he could walk on the waltzers like Jesus did He said you try it, I said it's a piece of cake But I knew he knew, I was a worm not a rattlesnake Oh yeah The summer rolled by like a white walled tyre Then the candyfloss became barbed wire She said, you're different you're not the same You're just a j** looking for a christian name Oh yeah, oh yeah Then they chased me through a booming cage of arks Oh hissing blue Flash Gordon sparks Where dodgems dance on clubbed iron feet Kicking each other to d**h to the beat Oh yeah How come you still invade my dreams You belong in my Quiff Street fairground teens I don't even know if she's still alive If she is, she's probably married with five kids by now Oh yeah And I wonder if her husband carries a gun Did he throw away his life in a chicken run You know I think she made a big mistake She should have fallen in love with the worm not the rattlesnake Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
