When You're Evil Lyrics
and death's a bit too much
they call me by name you see
for my special touch
to the gentleman i'm Miss Fortune
to the ladies i'm Sir Prise
but call me by any name
any way it's all the same
i'm the pebble in your shoe
i'm the pea beneath your bead
i'm the bump on every head
i'm the peel on which you slip
i'm the pin in every hip
i'm the thorn in your side
makes you wriggle and writhe
this is the life you see
the devil tips his hat to me
i do it all because i'm evil
and i do it all for free
your tears are all the pay i'll ever need
while there's candy to be had
while there's pockets left to pick
while there's grannies left to trip down the stairs
i'll be there
i'll be waiting round the corner
it's a game i'm glad i'm in it
cuz there's one born every minute
this is the life you see
the devil tips his hat to me
i do it all because i'm evil
and i do it all for free
your tears are all the pay i'll ever need
and i promise on my damned soul
to do as i am told
for beelzebub has never seen
a soldier quite like me
not only does his job but does it happily
i'm the shadows on the wall
i'm the monsters they become
i'm the nightmare in your skull
i'm the dagger in your back
an extra turn upon the rack
i'm the quivering of your heart
a stabbing pain, a sudden start
this is the life you see
the devil tips his hat to me
i do it all because i'm evil
and i do it all for free
your tears are all the pay i'll ever need
and i do it all for free
your tears are all the pay i'll ever need
and i do it all for free
your tears are all the pay i'll ever need
what i'd do to see a smile
even for a little while
and no one loves you when you're evil
i'm lying through my teeth
your tears are all the company i need
Such a strangely cheerful tune about evil and annoyance. rather fun actually. I especially love the following lines: It gets so lonely, being evil What I'd do to see a smile, even for a little while And no one loves you when you're evil... I'm lying through my teeth Your tears are all the company I'll need
just gives me an image of an evil guy looking sad, then he grins wickedly, laughs, smacks you upside the head and does more evil things.
All of the songs are Nightmare Before Christmas were composed by Danny Elfman(Voltaire loves him, and so do I. That man is awesome) I wish he had sung on that movie.
This song resembles pure fun to me, just loving what you do for a living (or unliving....if you're the undead...I guess, I don't know the word for it)
I like this song because it's about evil for evil's sake and nothing more and less than simple, malicious fun. Is it bad I always imagine a guy in a suit with a cane acting out the stuff (tripping a guy, hitting him in the side, hitting him on the head) and the devil just walks by tipping his hat during the chorus and the last time the chorus plays he steals the devil's hat?
The first verse is:
"When the devil is too busy, and death's a bit too much, they call on me by name, you see for my special touch. to the gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune to the ladies I'm Sir Prise. But call me by any name, any way it's all the same."
-js?!
One of the best Voltaire songs.
The funniest thing about this song is that the Devil respects the pure evilness of all the annoyances in life, like a pebble in your shoe.
voltaire has done several songs in "the Grimm adventures of Billy and Mandy"
The meaning of the song's pretty clear, but what does "an extra turn upon the rack" mean?
"The rack" is that bed-like torture device where they your feet to the bottom and tie your hands to a wheel. They turn the wheel to separate your limbs. The extra turn is to imply that he's that much of a jerk.

not that he is a jerk, or at least i think that he just wants to make you suffer that much more
