Backlash Love Affair Lyrics - Singles - Richard Thompson

An iron maiden stole my heart away-o black day 

Her siren songs seemed to call to me-o destiny 

She spat her thrash metal lyrics right into my mind 

The stage thundered and the 

Smoke bombs made me blind 

She sang, Hello, Liebchen, wollen Sie ein Jig-a-jig, nein? 

She says, left, right, right, left 

Come on Joe, don't be slow 

Up, down, down, up 

Come on Joe, time to go 

In, out, out, in 

Do it if you love me Joe 

I know it's art for art's sake 

But how much more can I take 

What's my share of this backlash love affair

Her hair extensions down to her knees, what a tease 

She got tattoos everywhere you look she's a comic book 

Why she goes for my type I'll never understand 

She's so demure when we promenade hand in hand 

And when we get back home she 

Let's me know she's in command 

She says, left, right, right, left 

Come on Joe, don't be slow 

Up, down, down, up 

Come on Joe, time to go 

In, out, out, in 

Do it if you love me Joe 

I know it's art for art's sake 

But how much more can I take 

What's my share of this backlash love affair 

Those iron maidens, cool as a marble slab 

They wrap around you and the cold knives cut and stab 

I can't live my life as someone else's shish kebab

Come on Joe, don't be slow 

Up, down, down, up 

Come on Joe, time to go 

In, out, out, in 

Do it if you love me Joe 

I know it's art for art's sake 

But how much more can I take 

What's my share of this backlash love affair
