Poison Apples

[Intro]

Took a Greyhound Bus down to Heartattack and Vine

With a fistful of dreams and dimes

So far out, didn't know that I was in

Had a taste for a life of slime

[Verse 1]

When push came to shove, the music was the drug

And the band always got to play

Sex, smack, rock, roll, mainline, overdose

Man, we lived it night and day

[Pre-Chorus]

We loved our Mott The Hoople, it kept us all so enraged

And you loved us and you loved us and you loved us

We're so fucking beautiful

[Chorus]

Pretty little poison apples

See the scars tattooed on our face

It's your disgrace

Oh, yeah

Pretty little poison apples

Mama said, "Now, don't you walk this way

Just find some faith"

[Verse 2]

Tabloid sleaze, just maggots on their knees

And diggin' in the dirt for slag

Moonshine, strychnine, speedball, shootin' lines

Anything to push their rags

[Pre-Chorus]

Still, we love our Mott The Hoople, it keeps us all so enraged

And you love us then you hate us then you love us

We're so fucking beautiful

[Chorus]

Pretty little poison apples

See the scars tattooed on our face, whoo

It's your disgrace

Come on, let me see them little poison apples

Pretty, pretty poison apples

Mama said, "Now, don't you walk this way

Just find some faith"

[Bridge]

Blueprints for disaster (Hey, hey)

You better not push me because I'll bring you to your knees

Ooh, to your knees

Blueprints for disaster (Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma)

You better not love me 'cause I'll bring you to your knees

Mama, to your knees

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Pretty little poison apples

Mama said, "Now don't you walk this way

Just find your faith, faith, the faith, yeah"

[Outro]

Pretty little poison apples

Pretty, pretty poison apples
