Lil' Devil

The Cult

Yeah

Livin' in a shack in a one-horse town
Trying to get to heaven 'fore the sun goin' down
Lizard in a bottle, yeah

Dizzy in a haze for 40 days
Hey there, little devil

Come on little devil
Be my little angel
Come on little devil
Be my, yeah, angel, ow

Oh, she came on with an alligator smile
Dynamite lover, scorpion child
Trying to get to heaven 'fore the sun goes down, yeah

She came on with a cyclone kiss
Hey there baby, you don't never miss
Lizard in a bottle, oh yeah

Come on little devil
Be my little angel
Come on little devil
Be my little angel, angel

Come on little devil
Be my little angel
Come on little devil
Be my, oh be my, angel

    General CommentsoulJIVE! You must be one of my kids. All three of them had to endure multiple playings of the Cult's Electronic album whilst trapped in the back seat. I think that they eventually came to enjoy this album. My favorite memory from this time was them all chanting along with the song 'Peacedog' at the top of their lungs...PEACE DAWG! PEACE DAWG!

    General CommentI think its about drinking whiskey.
    Theres a whiskey called Fireball with a "Lil Devil" on label and theres also lizard infused whiskey with a lizard in the bottle.
    Both high vol and would account for being dizzy in a haze.
    The lizard in the bottle would have the alligator smile.
    Crackin tune!!

    General CommentThe original lyric, most likely tongue in cheek serious from Astbury, was something about a rather large girl living in a northern town always letting her knickers down.
