Primitive Cool
Album - 1987 - Debaser id 15585

Used to play the Casanova
Smoother than the Bossa Nova
Love to play the Romeo
But I never need a home to go to
I'm so greasy, I'm so slick.
I leave no traces
I just get out quick
I use cheap champagne
Brief affairs and backstage love

But a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway

I've played the fool
I've played the clown
I'm an easy lover
When I come to town
It's a fashion
It's a buyer's market
To bust it up
Before it's really started
I'm incurably romantic
If you leave me I'll go frantic
With cheap champagne
Brief affairs and backstage love

But a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Yes a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
If the glove still fits
Don't call it quits
Don't throw your life away
Cause a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway

Used to play the Casanova
Faster than a roller coaster
I gave you the best years of my life
Don't you kick me in the gutter

Cause a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Yes a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Yes there's many a slip
Between a cup and lip
Don't let it slide away
Cause a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway

No sitting down on your butt
The world don?t owe you
No sitting down in a rut
I wanna show you
Don?t waste your energy
On making enemies
Just take a deep breath
And work your way up
Let?s work, be prou
Stand tall, touch the clouds
Man and woman, be free
Let?s work, kill poverty

La, la, la
Work your way up

Let?s work, be prou
Stand tall, touch the clouds
Man and woman, be free
Let?s work, kill poverty

You?re sitting down on your butt
And your get greedy
You start to lose your nuts
Don?t you look seedy
Can generosity bring you humility
So take a deep breath

Ain?t gonna sweat for you
Ain?t gonna sigh for you
Ain?t gonna cry for you
If you?re lazy

Ain?t gonna slave for you
Ain?t gonna hurt for you
It just won?t work for you
If you?re lazy

Let?s work, be proud
Stand tall, touch the clouds
Let?s work, let?s eat
Let?s live in ecstasy
Man and woman, be free
Let?s work, kill poverty

Let?s work, be proud
Stand tall, touch the clouds
Man and woman, be free
Let?s work, let?s work
Get down in the dirt and let?s work
Get down in the dirt and let?s work
Get up, be free
Get down in the dirt, let?s work
Get down in the dirt, let?s work
Get down in the dirt
Take off your shirt
Get down in the dirt
Let?s work

I?m a player in a game show
And it?s poisoning my mind
I?m a string on someone?s yo-yo
I feel my life is trivialised
I eat scandal for my breakfast
I spit gossip late at night
I?m not one for fancy speeches
But they?re sucking me like leeches
Feel my body?s under radio control

Listen
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

Every woman that I?m loving
She?s got to have that sense of style
All the men love that aggression
They want to walk that extra mile
I?m getting sick of competition
You better take me off this mission
Feel my body?s under radio control

Listen
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

I always stay fresh
Don?t run out of juice
I don?t let the power run dry
Don?t make a fool of myself
Let my tounge hang too loose
I stay out of range to survive
Every woman she got to walk that extra mile
I?m not one for fancy speeches
But they?re sucking me like leeches
Feel my body?s under radio control

Listen hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

Walk forwards
Walk backwards
Radio control
Work hard
Take a vacation
Radio control
Radio control
Radio control

You used to be my party doll
But now you say the party?s over
You used to love to honky tonk
But now the honky tonking?s over
Now life is a bitter thing, my sweet
Now life is a mystery to me
Love?s pain, I ain?t buying
Love?s strange. I keep trying, trying, trying

You used to be my party doll
But now you want to live in clover
You used to be my number one
But now those salad days are over

Times change but fascination stays
Love wins but the passion just fades
I?ll drink to the dancing days
I?ll drink to your crazy ways
Through the whiskey haze

Face the music, face the truth
Chase that fleet sweet bird of youth
Grow up sweetly, grow up strong
Hear the heartbeat, in my song

Love?s pain, I ain?t buying
Love?s strange. I keep trying, trying, trying

You used to be my party doll
But now you say the party?s over
You used to love to honky tonk
But now those dancing days are over
You used to be my number one
But now you vanished in the ozone
