Hi,
Man, I used to sing this in the 70's and had very little idea what I was
singing! Anyone have the (real) lyrics to "sucker" by Mott the Hoople?!
Thanks!
Best,

Sucker

(Ian Hunter/Mick Ralphs/Overend Watts)

Hi there your friendly neighbourhood sadist want to take you for a ride
Come on tell me 'bout the nights that I make you cry
Two tiny purple hands crawling out across the floor
All I could hear was a voice 'give me more more more'
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
She knows its right in her heart I never fail
She's a sucker

God help the woman who's late for work I get a green light flashing red
Like a superstar [brass town?] queen who's crown I bled
Now I just ran out of aspirin for an aching head
So I guess I'll have to do it just one more time instead
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
She knows its right in her heart I never fail
She's a sucker

Good games play games no names well that's alright if you can stand the pain

You can smoke my cigar all night through the link in your chain
Stand up baby its time to go
Well look what's here maybe if we do it slow
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
My baby call me when she want a tale
(fade)


Hope it helps

Actually no can't say that I do and I am not familiar with the song either
but I do know "All the young Dudes".

You guys are the best!
One thing: it's actually "My baby calls me when she wants the tail" (as in
Cat-o-Nines)
Out there song, and I thank you. (I doubt it will appear in our concert set
along with "Hey Little Cobra" and "Three Window Coupe," though! :)
