Let’s Go Out 2Nite – Alabama 3

I had a call the other night
It was hot, it was October
The weather wasn’t right
Everybody was uptight
My friend called late at night
And he said:
“Hey, there’s an emergency here at home
You got to come away from whatever
You’re doing and get back here”
I said “Ooh… What’s the matter dear?”
He said “We got bug infestation!
We got a whole nation of bugs
Crawling all over the house”
I said “Well, what kind of louse?”
He said “Every kind of louse that you can describe
I mean, man, the vibe is just wild
They’re crawling around the walls
They’re having their own parties
They’re taking out my apple sauce from the fridge
They don’t know what they did
They’re just crazy bugs”
I said “Man look, get your head on straight…
It’s an Indian Summer
Those little bugs parents
What got laid back in July
Their eggs is just hatchin’
Now that is why
We got bug infestations at home
Just you leave those little suckers alone
And everything’ll be alright.”
But my friend said that he didn’t feel right
And that I had to get straight back home
But I said “Look man, a similar thing happened to me
Way back in July…”

“I was in Belfast
I can’t remember why
And I met these two beautiful people
And we went out on the downs
And we took a photograph together
And when I got back their image
Seemed to have diminished
When I looked at the photograph
And my friend said:
“Why, that’s strange”
And I said “Hmm… I wonder why?”
Then I got a phone call…
Those two people had just died
So oj the grand scheme of things
It don’t mean a thing
If you got bug infestation in the house
Now, hush your little head and don’t you cry
Those little bugs are gonna leave in the by and by
And when they get up to Heaven
They’ll still have eight legs only…
There won’t be any bodies left

She checks his Che Guevara style
Some old school revival behind that smile
His blood shot eyes tell another story
Commendments and 12 Step Plan
Arrangements, programmes
A tell tale sign and a Doctor’s warning
She says “Hey Babe, are you feeling alright?
Why don’t we stay in tonight?
Get a Chinese takeaway
Watch a black and white movie”
He says “Hey honey, I feel alright
If you just put on that red dress tonight
Take me out one more time
Blazing like glory”

Let’s go out
Let’s go out
Let’s go out 2nite
Blazing like glory

The needle done the damage back in 88
Big big disease such a little name
Took Eazy E from NWA
No one to blame
And we can’t complain
The sun’s still gonna set
And the moon’s gonna shine
C’mon baby, hit me one more time
And take me out tonight
Blazing like glory. Yeah

Let’s go out

We got married in a fever

I got a feelin’
I got a feelin’ right now

We’re from the sputh of the bridge
Where the guns and the violence
And the cannabis live
We’re from the sputh of the bridge
So you better step up and level kick
