The Tubes Young&Rich Lyrics
1.Tubes World Tour

(spooner/steen/waybill)

The girls got embarrassed
When we did our act in paris
Same way that they did in l.a.
And we really had a battle
When we did it in seattle
Vancouver on the very next day
San diego kept us busy
We got so dizzy
With the interviews and radio shows
The fans were no turkeys
When the tubes played albuquerque
They stood up and shout and let us know

Bonjour, bonjour
The tubes world tour
A mighty important crusade
Tres chouette mi amore
The tubes world tour
We'll be leavin' as soon as we're paid

The threw us in the slammer
When we did it in miamer
Mondo bondage blew their mind
The kids were screamin' for more in baltimore
Thought they would never unwind
They rushed dr. fee
In washington d.c.
A.m.a. didn't go for the chainsaw
Played town without pity
Just for new york city
And quay knocked 'em dead with his big guitar

Buongiorno ate
The tubes world touree
A mighty important crusade
Tres chouette mi amore
The tubes world tour
We'll be leavin' as soon as we're paid

Oh ho ho ho, thank heaven for little girls
A mighty important crusade
Tres chouette mi amore
The tubes world tour
We'll be leavin' as soon as we're paid

All over the world
On the tubes world tour
All over the world
On the tubes world tour
Everywhere i go
On the t-t-t-tubes world tour
All over the world
Bonjour bonjour
On the tubes world t-t-t-tour
All over the world


2.Brighter Day

(steen)

Come on baby, i'm in love with you
I can't get it off my mind
I've been thinking i've been dreamin'
'bout this heart of mine

In a day we'll know, oh we'll know, yes we'll know
'bout a heart that's strong
And a mind that is wrong
Take my hand and see
All the things you can be
Doodn doo doo doo doodn doo doodn doo
Doodn doo doo doo

Come on baby i'm in love with you
I can't get it off my mind
Mind's been foggy since i first spied that baby
I can't get it off my mind

First the sun will shine
See how bright the day
Then the rains will come
Wash away, wash away
All the blues will go
Oh we'll know, yes we'll know
Doodn doo doo doo doodn doo doodn doo
Doodn doo doo doo

Brighter day
Come on baby


3.Pimp

(spooner)

I'm your only friend in this
Big city
I can make you wealthy if you'll
Listen to me, pretty
I've got friends that can get you
Anything you need
But you won't need much baby
If you'll just listen to me
When your bloodshot eyes see my
Twenty-dollar tie
Put my hand in my pocket and baby
And i'll fish out a five spot

Buy yourself a drink
You might need two
Don't need to worry
'cause i know just what to do
Use my car, my brain and
You're my oh my oh my oh mine
You won't feel nothin' baby
You'll be real high
When those bloodshot eyes
See these twenty-dollar thighs
I'll put my hand in your pocketbook and i'll
Slip out a $20 honey and

Pimp--can't you control your bitches
Ain't you got no vision
Pimp--can't you control your bitches
Ain't you got no vision

I was rappin' on the phone with a
Dude i know
Tell me your plan, you're gonna
Write your own show you foolish thing
Baby you're young and you're stupid and
I'm gonna shine it on, if you know what i mean
This is my town and this is my number and i'm
Directing this scene
And of all my chicks i swear you're
The only one i've got plans for
We're gonna save that money
We're gonna get away
Close that lonely livin' door

Pimp--can't you control your bitches
Ain't you got no vision
Pimp--can't you control your bitches
Ain't you got no vision


4.Stand Up And Shout

Artist:Steel Dragon

Trainer/condello

If there's any doubt in your mind, don't waste your time
'cause when you find what it's all about
When you're feeling locked up inside yourself
And you're trying to find the key to let yourself out
If you get to feeling like you've never felt before
Then you know, without a doubt

If you wonder why your frown sits along on the ground
Just look around at what you've been without
And just because i wear it long it started being wrong
And it's been too long since you opened your mouth
Then you get to wondering why it took so long to find
There's just one thing you can't do without

You better stand up and shout

If you're feeling satisfied don't make it stay inside
It's time you tried to let it all out

Stand up and shout

When your head is feeling light and everything is right
And you don't know what the fight is all about

Stand up and shout

When you get to thinking things you never thought before
Then you'll know, without a doubt

Come on and stand up and shout
Well all right
Stand up and shout


5.Don't Touch Me There

(nagle/doornacker)
Lucky pork pub./ascap

Oooo baby,
Move closer to me
I've had all that i can stand
Take hold of me with your hands

Oh baby,
You give me the chills
Whisper low in my ear
Let knows how it feels
Just to know you are near

Your body gives me a thrill
As it leans against mine
I love how it feels
With your jeans against mine

The smell of burning leather
As we hold each other tight
As our rivets rub together
Flashing sparks into the night
At this moment of surrender darling
If you really care
Don't touch me there

Unzip that jacket
That leather smells so sweet
Put your chest against mine
Feel my heart beat

I love the way your belt fits
The way it hangs so low
So low on your hips my darling
I want you so

I love your sweet, sweet lips
I love your salty taste
I love your finger tips
When i reach for your waist?! uh-huh...

The smell of burning leather
As we hold each other tight
As our rivets rub together
Flashing sparks into the night
At this moment of surrender darling
If you really care
Don't touch me there

I will give my love forever
If you promise me you'll
Never never never touch me there
Don't touch me there

Don't touch me there
Please don't
Don't touch me there
Oh no not there
Don't touch me there
Anywhere but there
Don't touch me there
Never--don't ever
Don't touch me there
Do you care?
Don't touch me there
Then don't touch me there
Don't touch me there


6.Slipped My Disco

(spooner/steen)

Well the joint was jumpin'
Maybe i got too high
And the beat was familiar
My feet were too sly

I tried to hustle
I tried to bump
I was always steppin'
When it was time to jump

My baby said quit
I told her i wouldn't
If she asked me today
I'd say i couldn't

Slipped my disco--he slipped his disco
Slipped my disco when i was dancing with you, baby

I begin to wonder
Is it worth the pain
Get so twisted
That you wind up lame
Maybe it's my technique
Or is it my shoes
Just another white boy
With the disco blues

Sometimes my body does
Things that my brain don't understand
I'm not the man i was
But my feet still think i am

And the doctor's busy
He's checking me out
He says i'm crazy
To jump and shout

I said, one more number doc,
Just one more tune
Let me out of this emergency room--and i

Slipped my disco--he slipped his disco
Slipped my disco when i was dancing with you, baby

I begin to wonder
Is it worth the pain
Get so twisted
That you wind up lame
Maybe it's my technique
Or is it my shoes
Just another white boy
With the disco blues


7.Proud To Be An American

(spooner)

I'm proud
To be an american
I'm proud
Of the groovy things we've done
There's television, free religion, rock 'n' roll, standard oil,
Times square, jimmy darren, corey wells, and smokey bear,
Price reduction, reconstruction, peace corps, and lots more
Culture that we got to lend

I'm proud
To be an american
And i'm proud
Had a great time bein' one
There's your school and my school and both of us in high school,
Surfboards, cigarettes, homework, southern comfort
Boy's dean was real mean,
Made us keep our locker's clean
Failed nearly every class
Ditchin' was a gas

I'm proud
To be a young american
I'm proud, just think about it
All the far out things that we've begun
There's revolution, constitution, land, sea, and air pollution,
Cold wars, hot wars, gas wars, and confrontutions,
Constipation, consternation, open hearted palpatations
Muscular dystrophy

I'm proud to be an american
Because we got department stores
Full of cheap guitars
But when sputnik plays 'em, you just go go go go

I'm proud to be an american--we got two chickens in every garage
And i wish every other kid could be one--in my country,
The medium is the massage
'cause it's impossible to give
Equality and justice to inferior foreigners
Too jealous to trust us

Gimme your weak and your homeless
How 'bout checkin' the oil ah, fella?

I'm proud to be an american


8.Poland Whole/madam I'm Adam

(steen) (spooner/tubes)

Coming out of
Lead guitar and drums
Rest of the band comes
Heavy
Said come on baby
Oh god, oh shit
Black and white, yeah
Polish sausages
In a bun, in the sun
It's hit-and-run

Hey man, like, like check this out man, really, i mean listen
I was countin' the holes in the acoustic tile ceiling, you know
Mumbling and fumbling with them little buttons on my mattress
You know, that hold it together
So anyways, my mind strays and the tricks that my memory plays
Like fascination and abomination on a biblical broadway stage
Like dancers and singers and a fully landscaped gospel group
And the harmony and whatever and
Dinosaurs eatin' like veggie burgers at the snack bar out front
In the lobby, you know
So anyways on the same stage is me, naked like an empty page
That's when i heard him
Like a director's voice with too much echo
I guess he was talkin' to yours truly, i mean me

Madam, that's adam
Ain't no other woman, that's had 'im
He's stronger than a tree
That apple tree over there
Wealthy in his healthy way
Never works, he never plays
Sits around and cogitates
Right now, he's planting his garden

Like i had to hear that chorus twice, you know, before i finally
Got the picture
I screamed, 'i ain't adam! i never seen the dude, and i ain't no
Virgin either'
So anyways, it's really lookin' bad man, like that director's
Mean when he gets mad
Like, might wreck your career with just one nod and like cripple
You, you know, for life--that's a long time
My legs are shakin', my stomach's knotted, my mind has gone
Neurotic
I'd run if i could, but you can't hid from him, and besides that
Jerk took my shirt and my trousers
So anyways, in the depths of my dispair, my co-star arrives--oh
god,
More beautiful than cher
I screamed, 'make up! gimme the script--please sing that chorus
Once more'

Madam, that's adam
Ain't no other woman, that's adam
He's stronger than a tree
And he's freshly molded from clay
Wealthy in his healthy way
Never works, he never plays
Sits around and cogitates
He's inventing, he's original

Hey madam, that's adam

Poland whole--all people what's cold


9.Young And Rich

(spooner)

Young and rich
Everything i desire
Light bulbs with shades
In every room
And work is play--believe me
Nothing must come too hard
It comes in the mail
Most everyday

I could respect a man who had it all
And he'd toss the ball away
I know i'm not that kind
I wouldn't mind to
Have a chance thrown my way

Famous friends
Big parties for me
Every night like tonight
Am i a fool to want it all

I could respect a man who had it all
And he'd toss the ball away
Because you know i'm not that kind
I wouldn't mind to
Have a chance thrown my way

Young and rich
With everything i desire
Everything i need
In every room

With everything i desire
Filling every room
Everything i need--and maybe
Some more things i don't need, you know
Filling every room
Everything i need
Filling every room
