But when he gets rough he'll break your arm.
He's got taste, manners and grace,
But when he gets tough he'll slit your face.
He'll buy you jewels, expensive clothes,

He's Evil

Scene: A party political broadcast -- Mr. Black and his followers
He comes on smooth, cool and kind,
But he wants your body not your mind.
He's got style, personality,
But he's the devil in reality.
He'll make you laugh, make you smile,
And make you feel good for a while.
Wicked smile, decadent grin,
He likes school girls, nuns and virgins.
His skin is soft but his mind is hard,
He'll lead you on then he'll tear you apart.
He'll treat you rough and he will make you cry,
And you will kiss sweet innocence good-bye.
And once you're in there'll be no getting out,
So look out, look out, look out, look out.
He's evil. He's evil. He's evil. He's evil. He's evil.
He's evil. He's evil. He's evil. He's evil. He's evil.
He's got wit he's got charm.
But when he gets rough he'll break your arm.
He's got taste, manners and grace,
But when he gets tough he'll slit your face.
He'll buy you jewels, expensive clothes,
Then his mind'll go and he'll bust your nose.
He's a joker and a clown
But he'll pervert you and drag you down.
He comes on smooth, cool and kind,
But he wants your body not your mind,
He is just the devil in disguise.
He will drag you down and he will make you cry,
And once you're in there will be no getting out.
So look out, look out, look out.
Look out, look out, look out.
He's evil. He's evil. He's evil. He's evil. He's evil.
He's evil. He's evil. He's evil. He's evil. He's evil.

(He's Evil).
It's a great song from a great album, Preservation Act 2 by the Kinks.

....the followup album to Preservation Act 1. Both from the early 70's.

- I'd start with "Lola" as an example of a Kinks song - even if I
happened to be air guitaring a different song on some driftwood.

I would never have recognized that as Kinks. I thought it was Danger Mouse.

Why bother? Jin doesn't know more than a few words of English anyway.
So all he could get out of Charlie's singing was the melody.

If he'd heard the song before? If he'd heard the song, the very popular
song, the words would be familiar too, even if he didn't understand them.

Perhaps it's a clue? It's almost like the song describes Eko.

True, I can sing the Lambada song, but I have no clue what I'm saying!
