WRONG LYRICS

I Wanna Be Somebody
L.O.V.E Machine
On Your Knees

Here are some lyrics from the booklet that came with the Japanese First Blood... Last Visions tape. For those of you not familiar with Japanese releases, let me fill you in with a little information. For some reason, they always come with lyrics in English. This is fine when the US release has a lyric sheet, but becomes comical when it does not, because the Japanese record company then has to have someone listen to the album and try to decipher the lyrics, often to hilarious results. Since there is no lyric sheet provided for the first WASP album, the lyrics on FB...LV for those songs are mostly wrong. Here are some examples:

I WANNA BE SOMEBODY
(Lawless)

You say you don't want to run and hide
A face that no one knows
And everyone you meet
You're going to show
You're nobody's slave
Nobody's chains are holding you
You hold your fist up high
And pride too

Oh, you've just got to be
Up high where the
Whole world is watching you and me
Cause I...
I've got the guts to be somebody!
To cry out

I wanna be somebody,
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too

You say you don't wanna starve
Well, take the table crumbs and go!
You don't want to take your feed at all?

You don't want no nine to five job
Fingers to the bone
You don't want the rock piles dirty
Go!

Oh, you've just got to be
Up high where the
Whole world is watching you and me
Cause I...
I've got the guts to be somebody!
To cry out

I wanna be somebody,
Be somebody soon

I want shiny pots
And dirty (?)
And lots of rock and roll
I will live in vain
And die in flames
I'm never getting old



L.O.V.E. MACHINE
(Lawless)

Lady have you no reason?
To pass this love unseen
There go my heels rising
Venus make me king
That chain of broken hearts
They all belong to me
Magic runs through my fingers
One touch you'll see!

L.O.V.E
All I need is my love to sing, Oooh..
L.O.V.E
All I need is my love to sing, Oooh..
L.O.V.E
All I need is my love to sing, Oooh..
L.O.V.E
All I need is my love to sing, tonight!
Tonight!

What can I do for you
Am I know your wildest dreams
What do I move in you, and
How would I seem

Mercy! Life! You cry
Love brings you pain!
And if you try to love me
You'll not be the same!



ON YOUR KNEES
(Lawless)

Dancing with danger
Right out your door
The silk hat you buy
And you sell
Mommy and daddy said
The life that you led
Will probably lead your way to hell!

On your knees!
Are you sassy?
On your knees!
Cause I want you
On your knees!
Are you sassy?
On your knees!
Cause I want you
On your knees!
Are you sassy?
On your knees!
Cause I want you

Playing with fire
Lusting with burns
Thrusting the flames in your eyes!

Sex is painted same
They're really the same
Just use and abuse them
And die!

On your knees
That's where you all shall be!
Well, I'll get you your contest
Your first really sin
Ha-ha-ha!

Running in the wild wind
And the dark fills the mystery
We'll all be there someday!
