Yeah baby
Going to pulp you to a mass of bruises
Cause that's what you're looking for
There's a hole where your nose used to be
Going to kick you out my door
Got to get into a fight
Can't get out of it
Got to get into a fight
(Going to put the boot in)
Going to blow you to a million pieces
Blow you sky high, I don't care
Splatter matter on the bloody ceiling
Blow the building right into the air
Got to get into a fight
(Yeah) Watch me now
What I want is power, more power
What I need is an innocent life
Want to do it in the broad daylight
I'm the truck, I'm suicide
Got to get into a fight
I can't get out of it
Want to get into a fight
Going to get away with it
Yeah
It's all for his greater glory
It's all for a Saturday night
There's a hole where your face used to be
I've got you in my telescopic sight
Got to get into a fight
Going to put the boot in
Watch me now
Yes, can't get out of it
Whoa now
(...) your face in
I'll slash you with a razor
Whoa now
Can't get out of it
TrackTalk
That riff, yeah, and those tone drops on Fight which are typical of Jumpin' Jack or Street Fighting Man or Brown Sugar, those changes. That one came out of the blue. To tell the truth, I was pissed off at Mick one night, because we'd got nothing going in the studio and he'd left early. I just got so made with him I felt like, I want to get into a fight (laughs), and I just started it off like that. It was one of those things that came out of an immediate rage. Then Mick came back and sang it and did an INCREDIBLE job on it; it was when he started singing that I started to see the connection between it and Jumpin' Jack Flash and Street Fighting Man.
Yeah, that's Woody (on bass). He plays a lot
more notes than Bill would. Originally it started off with Alan Rogan on
bass - we used to call the band the Biff Hitler Trio in the studio because
SO many times somebody would be in the studio ready to go and whoever was
there got drafted.
On Fight, Woody used the Parsons B-string
Bender for those pedal-steel effects.
