Every week I get Excited Just waiting for the post 'Cos when I get my magazines It really is the most Full of glossy pictures All in black & white I love to read the stories It keeps me up all night! I love obscene, magazines (repeat) Mistress or Vixen They're really all the same Lot's of adult people Playing adult games Teacher & school boy Mistress & slave And lots of smacky bottoms If you don't behave! Super stories, letters page Pain & pleasure, all the rage See her beating on the brat Oh my God! Don't you know that I love obscene, magazines (repeat) You can learn something new Almost every week And as soon as I get them I have to take a peek Human saddle, toilet slave Or pulling 'round a cart And dear old Sammy Sade She really grabs my ....heaaaart! Super stories, letters page Pain & pleasure, all the rage See her beating on the brat Oh my God! Don't you know that I love obscene, magazines (repeat to climax)

Wow! You Keep saying you've got something for me It's something strange and weird you must confess Something that just isn't quite normal - no! And now my body is a bloody mess Those boots are made for walking and though I try to flee You put those boots on every night and walk all over me Well, the very first time that I looked at another girl You took a walk that made my body burn And every time that I've looked since then You say "Dear boy, don't you never, ever learn? These boots are made for walkin' and that's just what they'll do Tonight's the night the night these boots are gonna walk all over you" ah, ahh, ahh, ahhgg, ahhhhhggg! Solo Though at first I was quite outraged The experience has slowly grown on me To be trampled on by 6" spiked heeled thigh boots I can't complain 'cos it's so plain to see Those boots are made for walking' and now I won't try to flee 'Cos I really like it when you walk all over me Mmmm! I like it! Are you ready boots? Start walkin' Do the quick step baby, mmm! that's real fine! Faster honey, up and down my spine! Let's do the twist like we did last summer Aw! forget the carpet slippers, that was a real bummer! Now let's try it with the spurs on!

People try to put me down Just 'cos I don't sleep around Alternative methods of satisfaction Can be as good as girlie action I'm so good, all the girls moan 'Cos I practice, on my own Rapid movements in my bed Windows shakin' in the shed Pull it hard and pull it long With this kinda love you can't go wrong Left Hand, right hand, none at all Rub myself against the wall I INSTRUMENTAL BREAK When I've done, I fall asleep It's much better than counting sheep Ain't tryin' cause a big sensation Just talking 'bout Masterbation Masturbation - (Repeat until satisfied)

Fetish girls are coming out to play On my knees I get .... but not to pray! Fantasies In 3D Fantasies For Me Leather mistress insists on discipline Tend her needs & fulfill her every whim Fantasies In 3D Fantasies For Me INSTRUMENTAL BREAK Well oiled bodies glisten in the night For my entertainment I will make them fight Fantasies In 3D Fantasies For Me You get in ...I'll pull the cart I'll strain to satisfy your heart All these things I want to do I want to do them all with you....

It’s the end of another romance, What did it all mean? When will I find The girl of my dreams? It’s been over a year now since I’ve had it away My frustration’s building night and day I’ve got my magazines but they’re not the same I’ve got so much to give and it seems a shame The only girls that like me are the ones I don’t like And the ones I do like don’t like me I know I’m particular about who I date But I can’t help what I like and I’ve already made many mistakes I’ve got the celibate blues from my head to my shoes I’ve got the celibate blues and ain’t nothin’ goin’ right I’ve got those Celibate blues (x3) Between my head and my shoes Celibate blues (x3) And ain’t nothin’ goin’ right I’ve got those celibate blues between my head and my shoes I think I’ll go to bed early tonight! Ahoo ma-ma ma-ma ma-mow I’d rather go without than waste my time But still I desperately hope to find the girl that I can call mine She’s got to be good looking with high cheekbones and big hips Wear skin tight micro clothes be into bondage, chains and whips Be intelligent and nice but dynamite in bed Have long long legs that she wraps around my head When I finally find the girl of my heart She’ll come to me and rip apart Those celibate blues from my head down to my my shoes Those celibate blues and everything will be alright I’ve got those Celibate blues (x3) Between my head and my shoes Celibate blues (x3) And ain’t nothin’ goin’ right I’ve got those celibate blues between my head and my shoes I think I’ll go to bed early tonight! Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever find My dream girl or will I lose my mind Will I grow old be sad and lonely With no one to be my one and only I know my expectations are in excess But excess is what I like best So I guess there’s only one thing left For me to do And that’s Rock, Rock Rock......Let’s Rock!!!!

Funny Voices in my head Scraping sounds under the bed Mothers' eyes are turning red Pool of blood - Daddy's dead Look Out! (Look Out!) x3 The aliens are coming Try to run, must escape Can't get out, it's too late Baby's face is full of hate Resign myself to my fate Look Out! (Look Out!) x3 The aliens are coming (Repeat) Oh no, no, no, no, no What are we going to do now (Repeat) They'll get you and suck your brain White heat agonising pain Driving everyone insane Watch out, here they come again! Look Out! (Look Out!) x3 The aliens are coming Oh no, no, no, no, no What are we going to do now (Repeat) Look Out! (Look Out!) x3 The aliens are coming (Repeat) Here they come! I can see them! (Whisper) Getting closer! It is the end!

Well Alight.......! I wanna live fast 'cos my life's so slow I wanna go out every night but there's nowhere to go Live life to the full taste every excess I wanna get heavily into kinky sex I'm bored with life 'cos I know I wasn't cut out for this Mr. Average role Life's closing in makes me scream & shout I guess there's only one way out I'm gonna sell my soul sell it to the devil Gonna sell my soul, sell it now! Gonna sell my soul, sell it to the devil Gonna sell my soul for everlasting glory Crazy woman tell me what to do High on power I can feel it too Say I'm mad haha! just insane C'mon tell me that again & again I wanna see my name in the history books A Rock'n'Roll star who knew how to fuck The time is right it's now or never I wanna wanna wanna wanna live forever Repeat Chorus x2 Time brings people - say they're friends But I can't follow their fickle trends I don't wanna have to compromise Or put up with their lies The cut digs deep & I start to fall But I'll return with my battle call See me rise from the flames of hell You can't beat me 'cos I'm willing to sell Repeat Chorus x2

REPEAT CHORUS TV, fridge, video too I'll take them all away from you Raid your home, steal your car Rant & rave - won't get you far (REPEAT) I WANT EVERYTHING! You scrimped & saved All your life To build a home For your kids and wife Legal Burgalry Gives me an erection Maybe you'll think twice At the next election REPEAT CHORUS (x2)
