Steel Claw Lyrics

Steel Claw lyrics

A night in television wonderland . . .  

 Just one more fairytale about some rich bitch  

 Lying by the swimming pool,  

 It's the golden school,  

 And life is easy when you make the rules.  

  

 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 out even  

 When you give 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 crawling 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  

 At election time,  

 they cross the line,  

 And everybody runs to watch the pantomime  

 If they could see what's going on around here -  

 So many people hanging on to the edge  

 Crying out for revolution!  

 Retribution. . . !  

 The odds turn out even  

 When you give up believing in the cold law  

  

 Repeat Chorus  

  

 Sometimes I think I'm going crazy  

 Sometimes I do a line, makes me laugh,  

 Makes me want to take a joy ride  

 on the high tide . . .  

 Sometimes I'm contemplating suicide  

 Meanwhile Bobby's out in Benidorm -  

 I know he's making out with some sweet senorita  

 And they go dancing,  

 in the moonlight,  

 The odds turn out even  

 When you give up the believing in the cold law  

  

 Repeat Chorus
