Lyrics Nazareth – Hire And Fire

It was a night, it was just another night
She was sayin’ lots of nothing
She was none too bright
But you’ll listen much to anythin’

Double back trouble like a temperance hall
She’s dealin’ with the ceilin’
And the writings on the wall
Then you’re wishing it was over, like an endless fall.

It’s a lane side fight
Oh no! another main line ride
Oh no! there ain’t a train in sight
Oh no! settin’ my soul on fire
Try her and buy her
Hire and fire her
Playin’ the game his latest flame

Now it’s a fine line between passion and dread
Foolin’ and a droolin’
Starts rulin’ your head
To seduction, destruction
We’re so easily lead

And then the dawn, the so impatient telephone
The smell of disappointment
Mirror wants to pick a bone
It’s a cup of cold coffee
Like the taste of stale beer
Let’s get outta here

It’s a lane side fight
Oh no! another main line ride
Oh no! there ain’t a train in sight

Carry the flame and make it last
Carry the blame and kiss your ass goodbye.
