Great Expectations Lyrics
You're sittin' in your seat
And then you stand and clutch your breast
Our music drives you wild along with the rest
You watch me singing this song
You see what my mouth can do
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
And you watch me playin' guitar
And you feel what my fingers can do
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
Well, listen
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
You're dying to be seen
And you wave and call my name
But in the day it seems that I'm a million miles away
You watch me beatin' my drum
And you know what my hands can do
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
Well, listen
You've got great expectations...
Then you feels these eyes from the stage
And you see me staring at you
And you hear between the lines
My voice is calling to you
Well, listen
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
Do you want to play the role
You've got great expectations
You'd even sell me your soul
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
Do you want to play the role
You've got great expectations
You'd even sell me your soul
You've got great expectations
As long as you can play the role
You've got great expectations
And then you stand and clutch your breast
Our music drives you wild along with the rest
You see what my mouth can do
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
And you feel what my fingers can do
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
Well, listen
You've got great expectations
And you wave and call my name
But in the day it seems that I'm a million miles away
And you know what my hands can do
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
Well, listen
And you see me staring at you
And you hear between the lines
My voice is calling to you
Well, listen
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
Do you want to play the role
You've got great expectations
You'd even sell me your soul
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
Do you want to play the role
You've got great expectations
You'd even sell me your soul
You've got great expectations
As long as you can play the role
You've got great expectations
It's about a girl watching him sing/play, and she wants to fuck him.
this song is so over the top it's ridiculous. pure Kiss. definitely Gene crooning to a woman in the crowd. he doesn't mince words.
I Don't Think It's Specifically Gene Cuz It Says Watch Me Sing And Play Drums And Guitar So Someone Wants The Whole KISS Kake Lol, Some Chick In The Audiance Is Lucky As Hell Cuz It Says They Were Calling To Her
i love the sexual ANALogies like "And you feel what my fingers can do"...
Well the title is obviously a reference to the classic Charles Dickens novel by the same name, so I'm guessing that the lyrics have something to do with orphans and the industrial revolution.
