Iggy Pop - The Regency

I battled with The Regency
I fought them to a draw
Now I'm gonna tell you everything I saw

I saw a nose job
I saw a con job
I saw a heart throb
With a small knob

It was the whisperer
Who put the grab on her
I saw a white flag
I felt my throat gag

Misty is an optimist
She comes from way down low
She's sleeping with rock a star
She doesn't love him though

Fuck The Regency!
Fuck The Regency!
Fuck The Regency up!
Fuck The Regency!
Fuck The Regency!
Fuck The Regency up!

Yeah, it's boring
Yeah, I'm snoring
Cheesy, cheesy
Queasy, pleasey

Once I was a nobody
I didn't stay too long
Like a dog or cat or bird
I sang a lusty song

Fuck The Regency!
Fuck The Regency!
Fuck The Regency up!
Fuck The Regency!
Fuck The Regency!
Fuck The Regency up!

Lead the victims in
To the stadium
Fill the cold parking lot
Girl who once believed
Winks and spreads her knees
Fuck The Regency up!

Satan is hiring
Ah, but Satan is tiring
No laughs, no fucking chance
No laughs at all

Fuck The Regency!
Fuck The Regency!
Fuck The Regency up!
Fuck The Regency!
Fuck The Regency!
Fuck The Regency up!

Feeling murderous
Tore a journalist
Laugh it up, laugh it up!

Fuck The Regency!
Fuck The Regency!
Fuck The Regency up!
Fuck The Regency!
Fuck The Regency!
Fuck!
Fuck!

Fuck

I battled with The Regency
I fought them to a draw
While I'm alive, uncompromised
I'm stepping out the door
The door

Iggy Pop - New Atlantis

Somewhere south of Alabama, and north of Cuba
There lies a beautiful whore of a city
She accepts all donations, and attracts an endless stream of lovers
Colombian Pushers and Murderers
American Swindlers and Slavic Thugs
Because here, a man can be himself
But now, she's sinking into the sea

New Atlantis lying love (Lying love)
New Atlantis sinking slow (Sinking slow)
New Atlantis, dumb as dirt (Dumb as dirt)
New Atlantis, she's a flirt

As her doom became apparent, her magic only accelerated
Because people are desperate for love and beauty

You and I are designed for love
Love there is no chance of
The Earth is ready to detonate
In a fire of imperial emptiness

New Atlantis lying love (Lying love)
New Atlantis sinking slow (Sinking slow)
New Atlantis, dumb as dirt (Dumb as dirt)
New Atlantis, she's a flirt

New Atlantis lying love (Lying love)
New Atlantis sinking slow (Sinking slow)

Some say the world will end in fire
Some say ice
Me? I just see fewer birds
Fish and butterflies
Plenty of concrete, though
I run to Europe, I run to the Caribbean
But coming here is the best thing I ever did
Miami, I love you

Iggy Pop - Fire Girl

I loved you when
It was alright
I'll love you when
It all goes wrong
I love you when
My eyes are open
I'll love you when
My eyes are gone
Fire girl-say you will

I have no time
To watch TV
Yours is the face
That interests me
I loved you when
You lost your raincoat
I'll love you when
You lose your fear
Fire girl-say you will

Pockets full of rain
Bewildered by this change
Underneath the sky
I just want to fly
Fire girl-say you will

I'm so lonely
So just do it
Say you will
I got a pocket full of rain

Iggy Pop - Neo Punk

Punk!
Punk!
Punk!

I'm a mini thug, I'm all jacked up on drugs
I'm a Neo Punk
Emotionally, I'm a celebrity
I'm a Neo Punk
I don't have to sing, I got publishing
I'm a Neo Punk
I can puke and drool in your swimming pool
I'm a Neo Punk (Help!)

Got a custom Rolls-Royce, I'm a Neo Punk
Got a spot on the voice, I'm a Neo Punk
Old ladies cum when I flash my junk
I'm a hunky, Gucci model Neo Punk

Punk!
Punk!
Punk!

I get fucked up so I won't kill myself
Like almost everybody else
My hair is blue and my prescription, too
I never have enough to do (Do, do, do, do, do)

Got a custom Rolls-Royce, I'm a Neo Punk
Got a spot on the voice, I'm a Neo Punk
Old ladies cum when I flash my junk
I'm a hunky, triple-platinum Neo Punk
Got a custom Rolls-Royce, I'm a Neo Punk
Got a spot on the voice, I'm a Neo Punk
Old ladies cum when I flash my junk
I'm a hunky, Gucci model Neo Punk
I'm a hunky, Libertarian Neo Punk

Punk!
Punk!
Punk!

Iggy Pop - Morning Show

The hurt that's in my face
Didn't come from outer space
I'm crispy on the outside
And juicy where I cry
We cannot be happy, because I will not be happy

I'll fix my face and go
Go and do the morning show
I'll fix my face and go
Time to do the morning show like a pro

The clown you loved is dead
My insides have turned red
A future that is hopeless
Just makes each day delicious
Time is like a peel, it opens and reveals

I'll fix my face and go
Go and do the morning show
I'll fix my face and go
Time to do the morning show like a pro

I'll fix my face and go
Time to do the morning show
It's gonna hurt, I know
Gotta do the morning show

I'll fix my face and go
Gotta do the morning show
It's gonna hurt, I know
Time to do the morning show like a pro

Oh no

Iggy Pop - Home

I work so hard, so don't trip me up

Shakin' a leg like the tail o' the pup

I'm payin' dues till I register heat

Sure hope I don't end up on the street

Home, boy

Home, boy

Everybody needs a home

Home, boy

Home, boy

Everybody needs a home

So many people rise and fall

Who's lookin' after you at all?

Nobody knows anybody at all

Strangers in paradise down at the mall

Home, boy

Home, boy

Everybody needs a home

Home, boy

Home, boy

Everybody needs a home

The life we live is tricky tricky

I love my home, and my family

Who's gonna love you when the

Mountain gets steep?

We're gonna make it-in a Jeep

Iggy Pop - Some Weird Sin

Well, I never got my license to live

They won't give it up

So I stand at the world's edge

I'm trying to break in

Oh, I know it's not for me

And the sight of it all

Makes me sad and ill

That's when I want some weird sin

Things get too straight

I can't bear it

I feel stuck, stuck on a pin

I'm trying to break in

Oh, I know it's not for me

But the sight of it all

Makes me sad and ill

That's when I want

Some weird sin, that's when I want

Some weird sin, just to relax with

Yeah, some dumb, weird sin, for a while anyway

With my head on the ledge

That's what you get out on the edge

Some weird sin

Things get too straight

I can't bear it

I feel stuck, stuck on a pin

I'm trying to break in

Oh, I know it's not for me

But the sight of it all

Makes me sad and ill

That's when I want

Some weird sin, that's when I want

Some weird sin, just to relax with

Yes, some dumb weird sin, for a while anyway

With my head out on the ledge

That's what you get out on the edge

Some weird sin

Some weird sin

Some weird sin

Iggy Pop - Paraguay

Wild animals they do

Never wonder why

Just do what they goddamn do

(Yeah)

Wild animals they do

Never wonder why

Just do what they goddamn do

I'm goin' where sore losers go

To hide my face and spend my dough

Though it's a dream, it's not a lie

And I won't stop to say goodbye

Paraguay

Paraguay

See I just couldn't take no more

Of whippin' fools and keepin' score

I just thought "well, fuck it man"

I'm gonna pack my soul and scram

Paraguay

Paraguay

Out of the way I'll get away

Won't have to hear the things they say

Tamales and a bank account

Are all I need, so count me out

Paraguay

Paraguay

I'll have no fear

I'll know no fear

So far from here

I'll have no fear

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Tra-la-la-la

Tra-la-la-la

Tra-la-la-la

Tra-la-la-la

Wild animals they do

Never wonder why

Just do what they goddamn do

There's nothing awesome here

Not a damn thing

There's nothing new

Just a bunch of people scared

Everybody's fucking scared

Fear eats all the souls at once

I'm tired of it

And I dream about getting away

To a new life

Where there's not so much fucking knowledge

I don't want any of this information

I don't want YOU

No

Not anymore

I've had enough of you

Yeah, I'm talking to you

I'm gonna go to Paraguay

To live in a compound under the trees

With servants and bodyguards who love me

Free of criticism

Free of manners and mores

I wanna be your basic clod

Who made good

And went away while he could

To somewhere where people are still human beings

Where they have spirit

You take your motherfucking laptop

And just shove it into your goddamn foul mouth

And down your shit heel gizzard

You fucking phony two faced three timing piece of turd

And I hope you shit it out

With all the words in it

And I hope the security services read those words

And pick you up and flay you

For all your evil and poisonous intentions

Because I'm sick

And it's your fault

And I'm gonna go heal myself now

Yeah!

Iggy Pop - Chocolate Drops

When your love of life is an empty beach
Don't cry (Don't cry)
When your enemy has you in his reach
Don't die (Don't die)
When it's painful to express the things you feel (Inside)
When it hurts to share because they're bare and real (So real)
So when every day is judgement day, I won't pray (Don't pray)
When there's no one to share that empty chair, well OK (OK)

When you get to the bottom, you're near the top
The shit turns into chocolate drops
When you get to the bottom, you're near the top
The shit turns into chocolate drops
Drops
So fly (So fly)
So fly (So fly)

When your love of life is an empty beach (Don't cry)
When is painful to express the things you feel (Inside)

When you get to the bottom, you're near the top
The shit turns into chocolate drops
When you get to the bottom, you're near the top
The shit turns into chocolate drops

There is nothing in the stars if you fail to move
There is nothing in the dark, it's just some old excuse
Hanging on, let it go!

Iggy & The Stooges - Search And Destroy

I'm a streetwalking cheetah with a heart full of napalm
I'm a runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb
I am the world's forgotten boy
The one who searches and destroys
Honey gotta help me please
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby, detonate for me
Oh

Look out honey, 'cause I'm using technology
Ain't got time to make no apology
Soul radiation in the dead of night
Love in the middle of a fire fight
Honey, gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby, penetrate my mind

And I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
And honey I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin', only to destroy, hey

Look out honey, 'cause I'm using technology

Forgotten boy said, hey, forgotten boy, said
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Iggy Pop - Sunday

This house, is as slick as a senator’s statement
This job is a masquerade of recreation
Like a wreck, I’m sinking fast

The key to everything
I crawl for Sunday
When I don’t have to move
Caught up in dreams untangled one day
Where I don’t have to prove
The days roll on and finally Sunday
A Sunday afternoon
I’ve got it all
But what’s it for?
But getting some more

Always ready, always steady and
Always ready, always steady and…

The street is as cold as a corporate law suit
A pride, I can’t jive is telling me to wipe my boots
I’m a wreck
What did you expect?

The key to everything
I crawl for Sunday
When I don’t have to move
Caught up in dreams untangled one day
Where I don’t have to prove
The days roll on and finally Sunday
A Sunday afternoon
I’ve got it all
And so what now?

(Do what they say and then do what they say, go back)
(Do what they say and then do what they say, go back)
(Do what they say and then do what they say, go back)
Do what they say and do what they say till Sunday
(Do what they say)
Until I’m black and blue
Oh what can I do?

Always ready, always steady and
Always ready, always steady and...

Got all I need and it is killing me
And you
Got all I need and it is killing me
And you
Got all I need and it is killing me
And you
Got all I need and it is killing me
And you
Got all I need and it is killing me
And you
Got all I need and it is killing me
And you

Iggy Pop - Cry For Love

Status seekers, I never cared
Once I found out they never dared
To seize the world and shake it upside down
And every stinking bum should wear a crown

Sayin' I cry for love
Till all the plates are broken
Cry for love
Until my eyes are soakin', yeah
Cry for love
On every salmon morning, yeah I
Cry for love
'Cause imitation's boring, cry for love
Cry for love, cry for love

Bad tv that insults me freely
Still, I know what I'm dyin' to see
In searching for a meaningful embrace
Sometimes my self-respect took second place

And I cried for love
I did what my heart told me
Cried for love
Can't stand it when they scold me, yeah I
Cried for love
On every salmon morning, yeah I
Cry for love
'Cause imitation's boring, cry for love
Cry for love, cry for love, cry for love

Surfers ride for love and wipe out when it hits 'em
Soldiers kill for love and nobody admits it
If you're cryin' for love, well, that's ok don't sweat it
If you're cryin' for love then there's still a chance you'll get it, cry for love
Cry for love, cry for love
Cry for love

Iggy Pop - Tonight

I saw my baby
She was turning blue
Oh, I knew that soon, her
Young life was through

And so I got down on my knees
Down by her bed
And these are the words
To her I said

Everything will be all right,
Tonight, tonight

No one moves
No one talks
No one thinks
No one walks, tonight

Everyone will be all right,
Tonight, tonight

No one moves
No one talks
No one thinks
No one walks, tonight, tonight

I am gonna love her to the end
I am gonna love her to the end
I will love her 'til I die
I will see her in the sky...
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Iggy Pop - Break Into Your Heart

I'm gonna break into your heart
I'm gonna crawl under your skin
I'm gonna break into your heart
And follow till I see where you begin

Times so tired, closing in
Four more hours to go
When the times to spin
I'm getting in
Gonna be in time

I'm gonna break into your heart
I'm gonna crawl under your skin
I'm gonna break into your heart
And follow till I see where you begin

Never gonna grow
Your heart is buried underneath
Mountains copped with soap

I'm gonna break into your heart
I'm gonna crawl under your skin
I'm gonna break into your heart
And follow till I see where you begin

Break them all
Take them all
Fake them all
Steal them all
Fail them all
Touch them all
Break them all
Break them

I'm gonna break into your heart
I'm gonna break into your heart
I'm gonna break into your heart
I'm gonna break into your heart
Till it all comes crashing down

I'm gonna break into your heart
I'm gonna crawl under your skin
I'm gonna break into your heart
And follow till I get under your skin
And the walk is tumbling down
And you finally let me in
I break into your

Cat Power feat. Iggy Pop - Nothin But Time

Iggy Pop - Isolation

Needed you, you were only using
Needing you just tore me down
And here I stand in isolation
Feeling emptiness and doubt
Walking down the broken highway
Sucking sugar plain and sweet
Did your mother ever tell you
that the joyful are free

I need some lovin'
like an inmate needs a dime
I need some lovin'
like a poet needs a rhyme
Here I stand in isolation
My empty hands in isolation
Walking down the broken highway
Sucking sugar cause it's my way

Find me one heart to complete with
Heading for the farthest reaches
I need some lovin'
like a body needs a soul
I need some lovin'
like a fastball needs control
Here I stand in isolation
My empty hands in isolation
Strike up the band
In this proud land

Got a lot to do
Got a lot to say
Got a life to live
Here I stand
in isolation

Iggy Pop - The Passenger

I am the passenger and I ride and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight

I am the passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripped backsides
And everything looks good tonight
Singing la la la la la.. lala la la, la la la la.. lala la la

Get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
We'll see the city's ripped backsides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
Stars made for us tonight

Oh, the passenger
How, how he rides
Oh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does he see?
He sees the sign and hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
'Cause it just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride and see what's mine
Singing la la la la.. lala la la
Singing la la la la.. lala la la
Singing la la la la.. lala la la

Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window side
He sees the things that he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city sleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
So let's ride and ride and ride and ride
Oh, oh, Singing la la la la lalalala
