Lyrics

Ruby Red

Ruby, Ruby

Well I got some food if you're in the mood and the Montrachet's on ice

Let me satisfy your appetite with some coq au vin on rice

Oh oh oh Ruby Red - Better use your ruby head

Oh oh oh Ruby Red - Lying in your ruby bed

Well I got some food If you're in the mood, oysters aphrodisiac

And some fine liqueur 100% pure that'll put you on your back

Oh oh oh Ruby Red - Better use your ruby head

Oh oh oh Ruby Red - Lying in your ruby bed - Ruby, Ruby

If you start at the top, you can end up at the bottom

If you taste there's no waste. All you do is feed your face

Oh oh oh Ruby Red - I wanna little bit of Ruby - Just a little bit of Ruby

Oh Ruby Red - Making sure you get well fed

Oh oh oh Ruby Red - Better use your ruby head

Oh oh oh Ruby Red - Lying in your ruby bed

I wanna feel Ruby - I wanna hold Ruby

How Slade In Flame turned a pop-star film into a bitter music-business fable

Slade’s 1975 film begins with the promise of fame, then follows the deals, threats and fraying loyalties that make success look distinctly less glamorous.
