Pretty Piece Of Flesh Lyrics
Say, say move
I strike quickly being moved
You're all, your're all dogs
Yes, you're all dogs of the house
a weak, weak, weak, weak slave,
a weak slave that goes to the wall
a pretty piece of flesh, I am
a pretty piece of flesh, I am
a pretty piece of flesh, I am
a pretty piece of flesh, I am
blast the amplifiers in the back with the soul on,
A pretty piece of flesh, and yes, you better show your crest,
Shoulder holster strapped,
I'm pullin' from the chest.
Guess who's gonna be the first to pull it from you
But of the steel seal,
representing Montague,
Love lorn, torn from two sides,
thinking of dark skies,
and through the heavens I be seeing worlds collide.
chi-chi-bow stars and bottle rocket fantasies,
but on the streets some knights and killers,
they be after me.
Trippin' with Ethel under moonlight skies,
but then you wake up in the danger zone
in souped up rides.
I'm dodgin' bullets and bang, it's hard to hand,
doin' a hundred miles an hour like a video game,
Rollin' brick-thick and diesel thinkin' nothin' can faze me,
with nickel plated sword slingin',
living is crazy.
Stars collide, worlds divide
what a pretty piece of flesh
you are a pretty piece of flesh
Stars collide, worlds divide
what a pretty piece of flesh
you are a pretty piece of flesh
a pretty piece of flesh, I am
a pretty piece of flesh, I am
a pretty piece of flesh, I am
a pretty piece of flesh
Say, say move
I strike quickly being moved
You're all, your're all dogs
Yes, you're all dogs of the house
a weak, weak, weak, weak slave,
a weak slave that goes to the wall
a pretty piece of flesh, I am
a pretty piece of flesh, I am
a pretty piece of flesh, I am
a pretty piece of flesh, I am
what a pretty piece of flesh
you are a pretty piece of flesh
Stars collide, worlds divide
what a pretty piece of flesh
you are a pretty piece of flesh
"Guess who's gonna be the first to pull it from you But of the steel seal, representing Montague, Love lorn, torn from two sides, thinking of dark skies, and through the heavens I be seeing worlds collide. "
obviously this has to have some kind of refrence to Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. Montague, love lorn torn from two sides, seeing worlds collide. self explanitory, no?
im surprised nobody commented on this already! such a wacky wonderful song
MiYA
title taken from the line in R & J where Sampson (a Capulet servant) is talking about himself being something special, trying to show off, this is at the beginning of the play
In the beginning of R&J, he calls himself a pretty piece of flesh when talking about the maids and what he'll do if anyone stands in his way, most of this is almost word for word from the play
In Shakespeare's day, "pretty piece of flesh" meant "well-endowed." Clearly the song writer got that, as this song opens with the raunchy boast "I will split you in two."
