Tunie: Straight to Hell

A list of 48 words by chained_bear.

About

By Great Big Sea, new CD is Fortune's Favor. I'm trying to restrain myself from doing all their new songs as Tunies.

Love me now while we're alive

It's the best thing we can do

We'll have no time upon Cloud 9

So heaven on earth will have to do

I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon

And I do it all so well

Cuz I made a deal with the devil

And when I die,

I'm going straight to hell.

Standing at the crossroads

He offered wine, women and song

Riches, fame and fortune

In my hands from that day on

I was granted there and then

A life of rock 'n' roll

And it seemed like such a bargain

For just one eternal soul

I know I'll curse this damn decision

And I'll regret it till the moment I fall

But I'll be making the most of a bad situation

Until my number's called

Love me now while we're alive

It's the best thing we can do

We'll have no time upon Cloud 9

So heaven on earth will have to do

I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon

And I do it all so well

Cuz I made a deal with the devil

And when I die,

I'm going straight to hell

Oh yeah

I'm going straight to hell.

There's times I swear I come out on top

In this ill-conceived contract

And there's nights I say

It's a small price to pay

For the life and times I've had

And I think "Here's to the gents and ladies

And all the foolish times we spent!”

They cost me afterlife in Paradise

And they were worth every single cent

So have a dance with the walking damned

Before my time is done

Cuz a deal is a deal and I don't expect

Fire and brimstone'll be much fun

Love me now while we're alive

It's the best thing we can do

We'll have no time upon Cloud 9

So heaven on earth will have to do

I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon

And I do it all so well

Cuz I made a deal with the devil

And when I die,

I'm going straight to hell

Oh yeah

I'm going straight to hell.

I have every expectation

That my final prayer will go unheard

And my veiled deathbed confession

Will not move the mighty Lord

And I'm sure that I'll be sorry

When he slams St. Peter's gate

But I'll dive right in to damnation

With a smile across my face

Love me now while we're alive

It's the best thing we can do

We'll have no time upon Cloud 9

So heaven on earth will have to do

I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon

And I do it all so well

Cuz I made a deal with the devil

And when I die,

I'm going straight to hell

Cuz I made a deal with the devil

And when I die,

I'm going straight to hell

Oh yeah

I'm going straight to hell

I'm going straight to hell.

    "If you can play on the fiddle

    Hows about a british jig and reel?

    Speaking kings english in quotation

    As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust water froze

    In the generation

    Clear as winter ice

    This is your paradise

    There aint no need for ya

    Go straight to hell boys

    Ywanna join in a chorus

    Of the amerasian blues?

    When its christmas out in ho chi minh city

    Kiddie say papa papa papa papa-san take me home

    See me got photo photo

    Photograph of you

    Mamma mamma mamma-san

    Of you and mamma mamma mamma-san

    Lemme tell ya bout your blood bamboo kid.

    It aint coca-cola its rice.

    Straight to hell

    Oh papa-san

    Please take me home

    Oh papa-san

    Everybody they wanna go home

    So mamma-san says

    You wanna play mind-crazed banjo

    On the druggy-drag ragtime u.s.a.?

    In parkland international

    Hah! junkiedom u.s.a.

    Where procaine proves the purest rock man groove

    And rat poison

    The volatile molatov says-

    Pssst...

    Hey chico we got a message for ya...

    Vamos vamos muchacho

    From alphabet city all the way a to z, dead, head

    Go straight to hell

    Can you really cough it up loud and strong

    The immigrants

    They wanna sing all night long

    It could be anywhere

    Most likely could be any frontier

    Any hemisphere

    No mans land and there aint no asylum here

    King solomon he never lived round here

    Go straight to hell boys"

    - The Clash.
