Go Wild In The Country Lyrics

I don't like you, I don't like you, town
I don't wanna like you, I'll shop around
I don't want you, I don't want you, town
I don't wanna want you, I'll shop around, I'll shop around

I can get a train, I don't need no hamburgers
No take-away, I want my own game
No bacon steak, no strawberry milkshake, I wanna keep it
I'm sick of seeing signe to eat walking down these lonely streets

Wild, go wild, go wild in the country
Where snakes in the grass are absolutely free
Wild, go wild, go wild in the country
Where snakes in the grass are absolutely free

I don't know you, I won't know you, town
I don't wanna know you, I'll shop around, I'll shop around

I can get a train, I don't need no hamburgers
No take-away, I want my own game
No bacon steak, no strawberry milkshake
I do better, well, I do better

Sweet from the trees, nakes in the breeze
But I got no boiled chicken, I wanna go hunting and fishing

I can get a plane, I don't need no suitcases, 'cos truth loves to go naked

I wanna picnic, 'cos I get sick
Got no boiled chicken, I wanna go hunting and fishing

I can get a train, I don't need no hamburgers
No take-away, I want my own game

This is the original... (there are obvious mistakes in the lyrics above)

<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fzgzwjO6QgA?version=3&feature=player_detailpage"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fzgzwjO6QgA?version=3&feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"></object>

Bow Wow Wow always had a sort of naughty "porno-appeal" to them (combined with squealing girlish innocence) which was part of their allure. Seems almost tasteful now! (Compared to the pornification of everything around us these days...)

And this is the EP (I owned it on vinyl back in the day!)

I remember reading in some teen magazine at the time that the original lyric was, ‘where sex in the grass is absolutely free’ but the lyric was changed because of the singers age. I find it a bit funny that the record company were fine about her posing naked at fourteen years old for the album and single cover but she couldn’t sing the word ‘sex.’
