let's get two versions for the price, first the best, made by
a friend of mine whose got solid ears and loads of patience:
-------
Aww go ahead, Ted…
Beats in the street and I'm coming
Dead headed over the map
Highway trains keep on rollin'
Sneakin' right through the traps (pfff...no idea :-/)
White line
Double time
Come around with a hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammer
Last night saw me in Detroit
Hotel bar lookin' good
Well I think we stink in the daylight
Play rock and roll like I should
White line
Double time
Come around with a hammer, hammer, hammer hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammer
Thousand gigs in Chicago
Never played Delaware
There are places where I'll go
I fly by night, love affair
White line
Double time
Come around with a hammer, hammer, hammer hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammer
(Sweet guitar solo...)
Last night saw me in Detroit
Hotel bar lookin' good
Well I think we stink in the daylight
Play rock and roll like I should
White line
Double time
Comin' 'round with a hammer, hammer, hammer hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammer
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammerdown
Hammer...
-------
and then one of my last best efforts, mostly inaccurate so
you can see the reason why I seeked help, though at least the
text sounded a bit less standard cock rock ;-)
-------
Howl! broke and p???
beating the street here I'm coming
dead hat and over the map
always treat people roaming
singing rough (every time|in your tent?~)
Wild line, no time
(hold the row with the hammer down.|
all around with the hammer down.)
that's not surreal in Detroit
old time born I can go
rocking with stinkers in the daylight
real Rock'n'Roll (like I show|I can show)
Bound to meet you in Chicago
never played neverwhere
we've a place this's where I go
a club I'm not gonna fail
...
-------
Now, only Ted and/or Meat Loaf would have a third and better version ,-) |
