Lyrics Tina Turner – Steel Claw
Text:
A NIGHT IN TELEVISION WONDERLAND
ANOTHER FAIRYTALE ABOUT SOME RITCH BITCH
LYING BY THE SWIMMING POOL
IT`S THE GOLDEN SCHOOL
LAST FRIDAY WAS THE FIRST TIME
IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT A HALF A MINUTE
ON THE STAIRWAY
IT WAS CHILD`S PLAY
THE ODDS TURN TO EVEN
WHEN YOU GIE UP BELIEVING IN THE
CHORUS
COLD LAW, STEEL CLAW
TRY TO GET ON BOARD
YOU FIND THE LOCK IS ON THE DOOR
WELL I SAY `NO WAY…’
DON`T TRY TO KEEP ME OUT OR THERE`LL BE HELL TO PAY
I DON`T KNOW WHO`S RIGHT OR WHO`S WRONG
BUT IT DOESN`T REALLY MATTER WHEN YOU`RE LYING IN THE GUTTER
IT`S A SEE SAW
A LONG HOT BATTLE WITH THE COLD LAW
IS WHAT YOU GET FOR MESSING WITH THE STEEL CLAW
THE POLITICIANS HAVE FORGOTTEN THIS PLACE
EXCEPT FOR A FLYING VISIT IN A BLACK MERCEDES
NO ELECTION TIME
THEY CROSS THE LINE
AND EVERYBODY RUNS TO WATCH THE PANTOMIME
IF THEY COULD SEE WHAT`S GOING HERE AROUND THERE
SO MANY PEOPLE HANGING ON THE EDGE
CRYING OUT GOR REVOLUTION
THE ODDS TURN OUT EVEN
WHEN YOU GIVE UP BELIEVING IN THE
CHORUS
SOMETIMES I THINK I`M GOING CRAZY
SOMETIMES I DO A LINE
MAKES ME LAUGH
MAKES ME WANT TO TAKE A JOYRIDE
ON THE HIGH TIDE
SOMETIMES I`M CONTEMPLATING SUICIDE
MEANWHILE EDDY`S ON THE WEST COAST
I HEARD HE`S SHACKING UP WITH SOME SWEET SENORITA
UP IN FRISCO YOU AND I KNOW
THE ODDS TURN OUT EVEN
WHEN YOU GIVE UP BELIEVING IN THE
CHORUS
