Handsome Devil (John Peel Session 18/05/83)

[Verse 1]

All the streets are crammed with things eager to be held

I know what hands are for, and I'd like to help myself

You ask me the time, but I sense something more

And I would like to give you what I think you're asking for

[Pre-Chorus]

You handsome devil

Oh, you handsome devil

[Chorus]

Let me get my hands

On your mammary glands

And let me get your head

On the conjugal bed

I say, I say, I say

[Verse 2]

I crack the whip and you skip

But you deserve it, you deserve it, deserve it, deserve it

A boy in the bush is worth two in the hand

I think I can help you get through your exams

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, you handsome devil

[Chorus]

Oh, let me get my hands

On your mammary glands

And let me get your head

On the conjugal bed

I say, I say, I say

[Verse 3]

I crack the whip, you skip

But you deserve it, you deserve it, deserve it, deserve it

And when we're in your scholarly room, who will swallow whom?

And when we're in your scholarly room, who will swallow whom?

[Pre-Chorus]

You handsome devil

[Chorus]

Oh, let me get my hands

On your mammary glands

And let me get your head

On the conjugal bed

I say, I say, I say

[Outro]

There's more to life than books, you know

But not much more

There's more to life than books, you know

But not much more, not much more

Oh, you handsome devil

Oh, you handsome devil

Oh!
