Vinyl Nirvana's Adam Ant Lyrics


Friend or Foe - Desperate But Not Serious - Goody Two Shoes
Friend or Foe
Take it up or leave it
I'm not gonna change a bit
If it means heartache
Then leave it out for your sake
I tried and I tried
To take care of my insides
Nobody's perfect so leave me if you object
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
When you're a pirouetting, highkicking
Thighslapping cruiser
When you're a hipgrinding spellbinding
Clean cut seducer
You have to be careful so people take note
I take it serious, but still I like a joke
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
Keep your philosophy
It doesn't apply to me
If it means heartache
Then leave it out for your sake your sake
I tried and I tried
But you still say that I lied
Nobody's perfect so leave me if you object

Desperate But Not Serious
If I ask you difficult questions
If I make improper suggestions
Would you find that a risk to your health
Would you put me up on the bookshelf
With the books and the plants?
Desperate but not serious
Your kisses drive me delirious
If I were kind and adoring
How would that be?
Very boring
Mister Pressman with your penknife
Always asking about my sexlife
And who with and how many times?
Desperate but not serious
Your kisses drive me delirious
All the advice seems so unkind
"If you don't stop, you will go blind!"
Tell you it's none of their business
Then console you with a big kiss
On the lips and on the back of your neck
Desperate but not serious

Goody Two Shoes
With the heartbreak open
So much you can't hide
Put on a little makeup makeup
Make sure they get your good side good side
If the words unspoken
Get stuck in your throat
Send a treasure token token
Write it on a pound note pound note
Don't drink don't smoke - what do you do?
Don't drink don't smoke - what do you do?
Subtle innuendos follow
There must be something inside he's hiding
We don't follow fashion
That would be a joke
You know we're going to set them set them
So everyone can take note take note
When they saw you kneeling
Crying words that you mean
Opening their eyeballs eyeballs
Pretending that your Al Green Al Green
No one's gonna tell me
What's wrong or what's right
Or tell me who to eat with sleep with
Or that I've won the big fight big fight
Look out or they'll tell you
You're a "Superstar"
Two weeks and you're an all time legend
I think the games have gone much too far
If the words unspoken
Get stuck in your throat
Send a treasure token token
Write it on a pound note pound note
Don't drink don't smoke - what do you do?
Don't drink ... etc.
