Roger Taylor - Tenement Funster / Flick of the Wrist / Lily of the Valley lyrics

[Tenement Funster] My new purple shoes Been amazing the people next door And my rock-n-roll forty fives Been enraging the folks on the lower floor I got a way with the girls on my block Try my best to be a real individual And when we go down to Smokey's and rock They line up like it's some kind of ritual Oh, gimme a good guitar And you can say that my hair's a disgrace Or just find me an open car I'll make the speed of light out of this place I like the good things in life But most of the best things ain't free It's the same situation, just cuts like a knife When you're young and you're poor and you're crazy (Young and you're crazy) Ooh, gimme a good guitar And you can say that my hair's a disgrace Or just find me an open car I'll make the speed of light out of this place [Flick Of The Wrist] Dislocate your spine if you don't sign He says I'll have you seeing double Mesmerize you when he's tongue tied Simply with those eyes, ooh Synchronize your minds and see The beast within him rise (Don't look back, don't look back) It's a rip off (Flick of the wrist) and you're dead baby (Blow him a kiss) and you're mad, ooh (Flick of the wrist) he'll eat your heart out (A dig in the ribs) and then a kick in the head He's taken an arm and taken a leg (All this time honey) Baby you've been had Intoxicate your brain with what I'm saying If not, you'll lie knee deep in trouble Prostitute yourself, he says Castrate your human pride ooh Sacrifice your leisure days Let me squeeze you till you've dried (Don't look back, don't look back) It's a rip off (Ahh) (Ahh) (Ahh) Work my fingers to my bones I scream with pain I still make no impression Seduce you with his money-make machine Cross collateralize big time money money Reduce you to a muzak fake machine Then the last goodbye (Flick of the wrist) and you're dead baby (Blow him a kiss) and you're mad (Flick of the wrist) he'll eat your heart out (A dig in the ribs) and then a kick in the head He's taken an arm, taken a leg (All this time honey) Baby, you've been had [Lily Of The Valley] I am forever searching high and low But why does everybody tell me no Neptune of the seas, an answer for me please This lily of the valley doesn't know I lie and wait with open eyes I carry on through stormy skies I follow every course My kingdom for a horse But each time I grow old Serpent of the Nile Relieve me for a while And cast me from your spell, let me go Messenger from seven seas has flown To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne Wars will never cease Is there time enough for peace? This lily of the valley doesn't know
