RockyMusic - Richard O'Brien Song Lyrics

Why should I even try
To leave the light and die
It's so warm in your embrace
I like it when I'm in your face
Ain't that to cry for
Ain't that to die for

When someone hits the spot
Then they are not forgot
Especially when someone
Shines brighter than the morning sun
Ain't that to cry for
Ain't that to die for

Some people they say that they don't want to come out
Some people they say that's what they're all about
Now the quick of us pick Icarus as a stinker of a pilot
But anyone that near the sun
Ain't no shrinking violet
Ain't that to die for

Ain't that to die for
Ain't that to cry for
Ain't that to die for

So let that love light blaze
Engage the gaze of praise
If you don't have a voice
Then baby you don't have no choice
Ain't that to cry for
Ain't that to die for

Angel in Me

TAGS: Cloven Hooves Tour 2007 Disgracefully Yours Mephistopheles Smith Richard O'Brien
Music and lyrics by Richard O'Brien.

If I should call you an angel, it's because I think you're divine
But you must make sure that you don't change at all.
Or I just might change my mind.
I've loved many a woman and left many a man
Between the Devil and the deep blue sea
But you've got something I don't understand
And it brings out the angel in me

(Oh, yes it is)
(Yes you know it's true)
(You know it's true)

For many nights and many days I've loved the thought of you
(thought of you)
Through many years, too many tears, you know I've sought for you.
(sought for you)
You gave this iron fist a velvet glove
And when we kissed, that's when I fell in love
Maybe I'm a devil, but this time I'm on the level
Yes you bring out the angel in me

(Oh, yes it is)
(Yes you know it's true)
(You know it's true)

I called it fun, like hit and run, a game of peek-a-boo.
(peek-a-boo)
I'd climb inside my Mr. Hyde and come and seek for you
(seek for you)
I've been insane with pain and jealousy
But now I'll change all that, just wait and see
Maybe I'm a demon, and maybe I'm just dreaming
But you bring out the angel in me

You bring out the angel in me

Begging the Question

Performed by Al Wheeler and Deadpan Dolores. Lyrics by Richard O'Brien. Music by Richard Hartley.

Deadpan Dolores
and Al Wheeler

Beware of the thief who steals your belief
Beware of the smile with the perfect teeth
Beware of the wolf dressed up as a sheep
Beware of the pill that makes you sleep
Beware of strangers bearing gifts
Beware of hot-shots wearing lifts
Beware of the dark
And never, ever trust a grinning shark
Because, once-bitten, twice shy
And the bite is somehow more than a suggestion
Once is an accident
Twice is coincidence
But three times, begs the question
Beware of jumped-up guards, and bumped-up odds
Beware of "gorillas" packing rods
Beware of "little Miss Understood"
Beware of the gypsies in the wood
Beware of the man with the carpetbag
Beware of the drunk when he starts to gag
Beware of the dog
And never kiss a chick who kissed a frog
What kind of a girl do you think I am? (spoken)
Once-bitten, twice shy
And the biter rarely gets the indigestion
Once is an accident
Twice is coincidence
But three times, begs the question, begs the question, begs the question

Who is the one true friend of America?
Friend of her people from farmer to Senator
Keeping America safe from the predator
So that the weak and the meek shall inherit her
Who in the fight for our rights always wins them all
Wielding justice from above!
Who stands for me and for you and for principle
Captain Invincible, that's who!

A wop bop pow!
And a right!
Put up a fight
And put out your lights
Wham bam splat!

Charles Atlas Song

Music and lyrics by Richard O'Brien.

"He carries the Charles Atlas seal of approval"
A weakling weighing 98 pounds
Got sand in his face when kicked to the ground
His girl split on him
And soon in the gym
The sweat from his pores
As he worked for his cause

Made him glisten and gleam
And with massage and steam
He was thin but quite clean
He was in good shape

But the wrong shape

He ate nutritious High-Protein
And swallowed raw eggs
Tried to build up his shoulders,
His chest, arms and legs
Then a magazine advert with a new muscle plan
(said)

In just seven days I can make you a man.

He'd done press ups and chin ups
Clean and jerked. Done the Snatch
Thought dynamic tension must be a catch
So he re-read the advert to see how it ran

In just seven days I can make you a man".

Cry On

Performed by Sgt. Polnik. Lyrics by Richard O'Brien. Music by Richard Hartley.

Sgt. Polnik

If you want something enough, you'll get it
It's just a matter of concentration
I knew someday
I'd get my way
I'm going to get me a list of names
Names of a bundle of dames
And one by one, I'll charm them with some witty conversation
It's my turn
You're gonna see the lamb become a lion
It's my turn
I've got more than my share to get me by on
So if envy turns you weak
And your love life's looking bleak
As the tears roll down your cheek
I'll just say "Cry on!"
If you want a powder puff, forget it
In fact, my act's kind of underrated
I knew sometime
I'd get what's mine
You see, I've gone and got it fixed
To mix with considerable chicks
And when we're done they'll know that it was fickle finger fated
It's my turn
You're gonna see the lamb become a lion
It's my turn
I've got more than my share to get me by on
So if envy turns you weak
And your love life's looking bleak
As the tears roll down your cheek
I'll just say "Cry on!"
Chickens everywhere
Will be desirous of my savoir-faire
All the guys gonna stop and stare
And wish they had my flair
I'll just turn around casually and say
It's my turn
You're gonna see the lamb become a lion
It's my turn
I've got more than my share to get me by on
So if envy turns you weak
And your love life's looking bleak
As the tears roll down your cheek
I'll just say "Cry on!"
"Cry on!"
"Cry on!"

Dance of Love

Music and lyrics by Richard O'Brien.

When you're hot and got that erotic feeling
There's only one dance when it's push comes to shove
It don't take long to get it when you got to get the healing
The name of the dance is the dance of love
(dance of love)
It's divine
Dance of love
It's divine

When you're hot to trot out an exotic notion
Exactly like the one I know you're thinking of
It don't take long to get it when you got to get the motion
The name of the dance is the dance of love
(dance of love)
It's divine
The dance of love
It's divine

There's no need to know me
Just come to me, show me
That I'm the light
(the light)
You're the moth
(the moth)
Together we can do the dance of love
Come to me slowly
With no sanctimony, just love
We'll do the dance of love
Ooh, it's divine
The dance of love
It's divine

When you're cool to fool with a hypnotic ache you
Relate to like the piano does to Rachmaninov
It don't take long to get it when you got it let it take you
The name of the dance is the dance of love
(dance of love)
Ooh, it's divine
The dance of love
It's divine

Everybody here
Suffers from their sanity
Thinking too much
Has it's own built in inanity
Stop egging the disease on by
Begging for a reason from above
We do the dance of love
Ooh, it's divine
The dance of love
It's divine

When you're hot and got that erotic feeling
There's only one dance when it's push comes to shove
It don't take long to get it when you got to get the healing
The name of the dance is the dance of love
(dance of love)
Ooh, it's divine
The dance of love
It's divine
The dance of love
It's divine
The dance of love
It's divine!

De Noche Todos Los Gatos Son Pardos (In The Night All Cats Are Brown)

TAGS: Richard Hartley Richard O'Brien Spanish The Stripper
Performed by Sherry Mendez. Lyrics by Richard O'Brien. Music by Richard Hartley.

Sherry Mendez	Mi hombre de Los Angeles (NOTE 1) Mi hombre de las sombras Mi hombre you are a stray That's why you play around But there is no need for enticement For I burrrrrrrrrning with excitement Mi hombre of the angels Mi hombre of the shadows
Mysterious Whisper	(In the night)
Sherry Mendez	All cats are brown
Al Wheeler	Grey!
Sherry Mendez	No, Brown!!!! Mi hombre de sospechas (NOTE 2) Mi hombre de encanto (NOTE 3) Mi hombre you say someday You want to settle down But there's no need for decision "Por tu" plan that's in collision (NOTE 4) Mi hombre of decision Mi hombre of delight
Mysterious Whisper	(In the night)
Sherry Mendez	All cats are brown
Sgt. Polnik	Grey!
Sherry Mendez	No, Brown!!!! You can flatter me, mi hombre When the lights are down But no matter what you would say In the night All cats are brown

NOTE 1: These first two lines translate as "My man is from Los Angeles (the City of the Angels), My man is from the shadows".
NOTE 2: This is a "best fit" guess to what everyone heard ("sus esperchace" and "de suspechas") and it approximately means "My man of suspicions" or "My man above suspicions". To fit with the scheme of the first verse, it should have to do with "decision", not "suspicion".
NOTE 3: "de encanto" means "of delight". Assumably, Sherry is referring to sexual pleasure previously brought to her by Al.
NOTE 4: "Por tu" means "for your" or "for you" so this translates as "For your plan is in collision".

Voice	Her name's Deadpan Dolores She works as a stripper in some dump called "The Club Extravaganza"
Solo #1	Deadpan Dolores is more than just your average bump and grind She owns a pink and golden skin That somehow fits within A G-string that's been carelessly designed
Solo #2	Deadpan Dolores is hotter than two supernova suns She don't need no hunk of bra (NOTE) To hide no telltale scars -- she's a big star And you want to see her buns
Chorus	Deadpan Dolores - too hot for the chorus She makes the sweat pump out of your pores Your heart jumps as the temperature soars
Various Solo Voices	Arousing! Exotic! Suggestive! Erotic!
Chorus	Delectable Deadpan Dolores Delectable Deadpan Dolores (Musical Interlude) Tell us about it Wheeler!
Al Wheeler	Deadpan Dolores is going to get a visit from the man God willing she'll start spilling The evidence is thrilling How fulfilling Just to weigh it in my hands

Music and lyrics by Richard O'Brien.

Well I wanna say hello to the human race.
I wanna stop awhile and put a smile on your face.
If I like what I see, then we'll head back to your place
And I'll be disgracefully yours.

I don't care about your color or your race or creed.
We'll have fun if you're a mongrel or you're pedigreed.
I only wanna thrill you and fulfill your need,
But I'll be disgracefully yours.

I'm inclined to spit and bite a bit and scratch you.
(But he finds that most don't mind behind locked doors)
So I suggest you get undressed and let me catch you.
I'll be distastefully, disgracefully all yours.

You may see yourself above me on some other plane,
But I know somehow you're thinking of me now and again.
So sell yourself to Hell and we'll let Heaven reign,
And I'll be disgracefully yours.

(He's inclined to spit and bite a bit and scratch you)
But I find that most don't mind behind locked doors.
(He suggests you get undressed and let him catch you)
I'll be distastefully, disgracefully all yours.

You may see yourself above me on some other plane,
But I know somehow you're thinking of me now and again.
So sell yourself to Hell and we'll let Heaven reign,
And I'll be disgracefully yours.

I'll be disgracefully...
Oh so distastefully...
I'll be disgracefully yours.

Duel Duet

Music and lyrics by Richard Hartley and Richard O'Brien.

Farley Flavors	You're a loser An abomination in the eyes of any sensitive man
Brad Majors	And you're a blind alley cruiser Always heading down a losing street Dreaming that you're screaming at fate You're a dead end, dead beat, nowhere Mister With a kiss like a Mississippi alligator's sister
Farley Flavors	I took as much of you as any man can! You've lost your heart
Brad Majors	You've lost your cause
Farley Flavors	You lost your baby When you lost your balls You lost your mind You've lost your grip So say bye-bye!
Brad Majors	We lost our Mom We lost our Dad And if I'm losing you Well that's too bad
Farley Flavors	Well the best thing you could ever do is die
Brad Majors	You're a failure A malformation in the guise of many An also ran
Farley Flavors	And you're a weeper and a whiner! Always treading on the toes of the great Generally spreading your weight You're a spiteful, hateful, assinine creature A pupil with no scruples who's no better than the teacher
Brad Majors	I took as much of you as any man can
Farley Flavors	You've lost your heart
Brad Majors	You've lost your cause
Farley Flavors	You lost your baby When you lost your balls You lost your mind When you lost your grip So say bye-bye!
Brad Majors	We lost our home Our family You've lost compassion Now you're losing me
Farley Flavors	Well the best thing you could ever do is die
Brad Majors	Well the best thing you could ever do is die
Farley Flavors	Well the best thing you could ever do is die!

"From the day he was born, he was trouble
He was the thorn in his mother's side
She tried in vain.
But he never caused her nothing but shame.

He left home the day she died.
From the day he was gone
All he wanted
Was a rockin' roll porn and a motor bike.
Shootin' up junk.
He was a low down cheap little punk.
Taking everybody for a ride.

CHORUS

When Eddie said he didn't like his teddy.
You knew he was a good kid.
When he threatened your life with a switch blade knife.
What a guy.
Makes you cry.
And I did.

Everybody shoved him.
I very nearly loved him.
I said hey listen to me.
Stay sane inside insanity.
But he shut the door and threw away the key.

But he must have been drawn into something
Making him warn me in a note which reads

What's it say. What's it say.
I'm out of my head.
Hurry or I may be dead.
They mustn't carry out their evil deeds.

Evil Midnight

TAGS: Return of Captain Invincible Richard Hartley Richard O'Brien
Lyrics by Richard O'Brien. Music by Richard Hartley.

Captain Invincible	I had chums in the Wall Street crash Who made a hash of their sums And burned their mothers for cash They turned into bums in a flash I've known monkeys who were doing OK Who met flunkies that would blow you away They were junkies in less than a day There are pushers and hoodlums of great dedication That without hesitation supply medication One minute you're a looker that looked And the next you're a hooker that's hooked
Mr. Midnight	Long before the great Big Bang There was evil in the Void Long before the first bird sang Evil was enjoyed
Captain Invincible	Long before the dawn of man There was born an evil plan Believe me when I say that There's no other side to Midnight Hold on, sit tight You never ever did right Roll on Midnight You're spoiling for the big fight Mr. Evil Midnight
Mr. Midnight	Long before the sands of time There was evil doing well Long before the birth of crime There was evil building Hell
Captain Invincible	Long before the Age of Reason Evil waged unholy treason Believe me that no mother Ever cried for Midnight
Chorus	He's a creature of a thousand disguises
Captain Invincible	But the man behind the mask Remains the same
Chorus	If he's really who you think he is, You're in for some surprises. What a ???. What a ???. What a ??? ??? ??? ???.
Mr. Midnight	Long before the crack of doom There was evil in the air Long before we left the womb There was evil everywhere
Captain Invincible	Long before the troupe was found Evil used to cruise around Believe me, it's a one-way Ride for Midnight
Captain Invincible and Chorus	Hold on, sit tight You never ever did right Roll on Midnight You're spoiling for the big fight Mr. Evil Midnight
Captain Invincible	Now I'm gonna keep my grip tight
Mr. Midnight	I'm going to take a big bite
Captain Invincible	Gonna get a big fight Mr. Evil Midnight
Chorus	Mr. Evil Midnight

Fixation by Richard O'Brien

Music and lyrics by Richard O'Brien.

Poor Girl, poor boy
They're both aching for the same joy
Seems they never did discover
That each other was their lover
Poor Girl, poor boy
They're both fixed by their fixation
They're both fixed by their fixation

Poor he, poor she
They're both barking up the same tree
If they could only get together
They could face the stormy weather
Poor he, poor she
They're both fixed by their fixation
They're both fixed by their fixation

Poor boy, poor girl
They're both surfing on the same curl
Seems they choose to lose in random
Never choose to cruise in tandem
Poor boy, poor girl
They're both fixed by their fixation
They're both fixed by their fixation

Harvey Stern

You've heard of
Immaculate hearts
And sacred hearts
And hearts of oak
And hearts of gold
Hearts in the right place
And hearts in the mouth
And hearts that break
And hearts so bold
But the heart I could talk about for hours
Is the heart at the start of "hearts and flowers"
Oh, hearts and flowers
Are tokens of precious love
Take my heart and red roses
In regular daily doses
Take my heart and an orchid
You know who the two are for, kid
Hearts and flowers
Are symbols of sweetest faith
Take my heart and some sweet pea
And tell me you're mine completely
Take my heart and a fuschia
And tell me that we've got a future
Hearts and flowers
Are sweeter than anything
So look me in the i-ris
And tell me no lies
Cling to me like ivy
'til the snow drops dry
If daisies drive you crazy
Then you know why
I love those
Hearts
Hearts
And flowers
Get'cha right there, don't it? (spoken)

Harvey Stern

I confess
I made her life a mess
I confess
I never showed her happiness
And I confess
I knew of her distress
I confess
I confess
I told her to undress
Oooh, I confess
She pleaded with me not to press
And I confess
I may have lacked finesse
But I didn't understand, I didn't even guess
She was looking for the real thing
Looking out for love and tenderness
Now, I'm sorry
Dead sorry
I didn't understand, I didn't even guess
I confess
She shrank from my caress
I confess
I may have used undue duress
And I confess
My actions were grotesque
But I didn't understand, I didn't even guess
She was looking for the real thing
Looking out for love and tenderness
Now, I'm sorry
Dead sorry
I didn't understand, I didn't even guess
She was looking for the real thing
I confess!

I will always hold you in my Heart by Richard O'Brien

TAGS: Absolute O'Brien Richard O'Brien
Music and lyrics by Richard O'Brien.

At quiet moments when alone
I think of you my child full grown
Across the oceans through the stars
In downtown dives and low life bars
I cling on to this love our ours

For I will always hold you in my heart
I never knew how far I'd fall
A poor blind fool who had it all
I threw your simple love away
Too busy living for the day
True happiness for you I pray

For I will always hold you in my heart
If you put your thoughts of me behind you
Well that's only right
But sentimentally, I hold you
So gently I enfold you - every lonely night

for I hold you in my heart
I sit alone, I never mix
I got myself an instant fix
And through a haze of gin-joint juice
your loving face I reproduce
Thank God this poison has its use
For I will always hold you in my heart

Music and lyrics by Richard O'Brien.

He can tell you things you want to hear
Secrets whispered in a lover's ear
So you start building dreams
But it's not what it seems
And it all seemed so sure
I've been there before
I've been there before

He can make your heart start with a look
You let him read you like an open book
Then he betrays your trust
And all your dreams turned to dust
And I wrote the score
I've been there before
I've been there before

But this is something you can no-can-do about
No this is nothing new
I know it's something you can do without
But you've got to see it through
I've been there before
I've been there before

He stands before you he's so meek and mild
He lets you hold him like a little child
Then he tells you his fears
And you make love through the tears
Then he walks out the door
I've been there before
I've been there before

Janet Majors

If only you knew how to win some prizes
If only you knew how to play
If you could sleep nights
Stop your crying
Then you might find out I still love you in my own way

If that's not enough then I am so sorry I met you
It was almost like leading you on
But there's more to it all
Than just wringing your heart out over something
That keeps on going wrong

So don't tell me you love me
How am I supposed to know what that means
No don't sell emotion
You can't find devotion
If you're falling apart at the seams

I hope that you smile
When you reach your conclusion
I hope that you'll know just what to say
But if it should mean that the party's over
You should know that I still love you
You should know that I still love you
You should know that I still love you
In my own way
In my own way

Don't call me I've got your number

think of us a blackbird and a dove
Oh let me be your incubus of love

If madame is feeling cautious
drift into the arms of Morpheus

Oh let me be your Incubus of love

I'm going to come for you like a thief in the night time

I'm going to bring relief to you at the right time

Oh let me be the one you're thinking of
Oh let me be your incubus of love

I'll be yours until Aurora
lights the morning with her aura
that rosy fingered nimbus from above
oh let me be your incubus of love

(He's going to come for you like a thief in the night time)
I'm going to creep up to your side
(He's going to bring relief to you at the right time)
there's no place that you can hide
oh let me be the one you're thinking of

It Was Great When It All Began

Music and lyrics by Richard O'Brien.

"It was great
When it all began
I was a regular Frank Fan
But it was over when he had the plan
To start working on a muscle-man
Now the only thing that gives me hope
Is my love of certain dope
Rose tints my world keeps me
Safe from my trouble and pain.

I'm just seven hours old
truly beautiful to behold
And somebody should be told
My libido hasn't been controlled
Now the only thing I've come to trust
Is an orgasmic rush of lust
Rose tints my world keeps me
Safe from my trouble and pain.

It's beyond me
Help me mommy
I'll be good you'll see
Take this dream away
What's this, let's see
I feel sexy
What's come over me
Here it comes again.

I feel released
Bad times deceased
My confidence has increased
Reality is here
The game has been disbanded
My mind has been expanded
It's a gas that Frankie's landed
His lust is so sincere

What ever happened to Fay Wray
That delicate satin draped frame
As it clung to her thigh
How I started to cry
For I wanted to be dressed just the same.

Give yourself over to absolute pleasure
Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh
Erotic nightmares beyond any measure
And sensual daydreams to reasure forever —
Can't you just see it.

Don't dream it — Be it
Don't dream it — Be it
Don't dream it — Be it

Hmm ... We've got to get out of this trap
Before this decadence saps our wills
I've got to be strong and try to hang on
Or my mind may well snap
And my life will be lived for the thrills

It's beyond me
Help me mommy

God bless Lilly St. Cyr.
