JENNY ROCKIS

That hold you used to have on me has been released

That old glue that’s been grabbing me has now been greased

I told you I’d be hammering it piece by piece

To try to break it down

That hold

I’m on your Lazy Susan spinning round and round

Depending on your boozin’ you’re choosin’ who goes down

You say you wanna savor my buffet

But I aint gonna be your flavor of the day, oh no

‘Cause that hold you used to have on me has been released

That old glue that’s been grabbing me has now been greased

I told you I’d be hammering it piece by piece

To try to break it down

That hold

You held the hand that waited for that band of gold

Another year I stand as you’re in demand and I’m growing old

You had the nerve to let my lovin’ linger

So here’s a longer version of my ringless finger

‘Cause that hold you used to have on me has been released

That old glue that’s been grabbing me has now been greased

I told you I’d be hammering it piece by piece

To try to break it down

That hold

You had some time to think of how you done me wrong

But I learned to shine and I’m feeling fine as I sing my song

You’re frowning ‘cause you say it’s me you miss

Well let me turn around and I’ll give you something to kiss 

‘Cause that hold you used to have on me has been released

That old glue that’s been grabbing me has now been greased

I told you I’d be hammering it piece by piece

To try to break it down

That hold

Machine Gun Mary’s gonna do you wrong 

Got a hit list longer than Al Capone's 

Make you disappear when her cover's blown 

The meanest damn woman I've ever known 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Machine Gun Mary’s gonna leave you scarred

Gonna suck you in 'fore you up your guard

That queen of fear’s gonna hit you hard

Fitty rounds tearing right through your heart

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Solo 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Machine Gun Mary won’t play your game 

That obituary be showin’ your name 

Her .45’s automatically packed with pain 

Your dead and buried 'fore she takes her aim

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

Boom boom, boom 

ROTTEN

I’m trying
I’m trying
Now I’m trying to raise, raise the dead

Say you don’t wanna know her better
Say you’re not gonna go and get her
Say you don’t wanna breathe in her scent
I don’t wanna believe your intent
Such a lovely catch
Thinking that she’s fresh
But she’s rotten

Say you won’t go and dig in her garden
Trouble’s growing big that you’re startin’
Now I’m trying to raise, raise the dead
Rewind to the day, the day we met
Such a lovely catch
Thinking that she’s fresh
But she’s rotten

You sailed and you’re lookin’
For another lake to lurk in
She made you get your hook in
Now she’s scaled and you’re cookin’

You say she’s clearly just a friend
So hard to hear at 3 A.M.
Your knife keeps rip, rip, ripping in
Your lie still dripping off your chin
Such a lovely catch
Thinking that she’s fresh
Such an ugly mess
I was giving you my best
Such a lovely catch
Thinking that she’s fresh, but she’s rotten
