The mid twenty joys around a heart that's black and blue
tattooed love boys
i tore my knees up getting to you
'cause i needed
to find out what the thing was for
been reading
but man the time came to explore

i went apewire 'cause i thought
like i'd like it little tease
but i didn't mean it
but you mess with the goods doll, honey you gotta pay, yeah

a good time was guaranteed for one and all
the tattoos did target practice in the hall
while waiting for their number to get called out
i, i, i, i found out what the wait was about

i was a good time, yeah, i got pretty good
at changing tyres upstairs bro
i shot my mouth off and you showed me what that hole was for

now i see you
all impressed and half undressed
you got paint stick all over the scars and lumps and bumps
tattooed love boys
have got you where i used to lay
well ha ha too bad, but you know what they say
"stop snivellin', you're gonna make some plastic surgeon a rich man"

oh, but the prestige and the glory
another human interest story
you are that
