New York
was cold and damp, TV is just a
blank
Looks like
another dead end Sunday
What about
an early night? Monday never feels
so bright
Ooh the
sheets feel cold and lonely
Who wants
to brave the pouring rain for a
glass
of French champagne?
Well, grab
a cab, grab a cab and, baby, come
right by
And she
was hot as she kissed my mouth
She was
hot as I wiped her brow
She was
hot, she pinned me to the ground
She was
quick, she knew her way around
She was
hot and she tore my clothes
She was
hot, she had no place to go
She was
hot on a cold and rainy night
Detroit
was smoky gray, nothing like the
good
old days
I've got a
fever that I'm fighting
I don't
need your company, leave me in my
misery
I can take
the rebound just like lightning
And she
was hot in a '50s dress
She was
hot, her lips were flashing red
I was lost
in her burning flesh
I was hot,
I was dripped in sweat
She was
hot in the Detroit snow
She was
hot, she had no place to go
She was
hot on a cold and rainy night
Whoo!
And she
was hot and I had the blues
She was
hot - honey, where were you?
If you
were in my shoes
You would
be excused
She was
hot, you can never wait
She was
hot, never hesitate
She was
hot on a cold and rainy night
Think I'm
going off the rails, riding down
the pleasure trail
Always
take the passion where you find it
Honey when
you're young or fresh and you
need
the touch of flesh
Go take
the treasure where you find it
And she
was hot in the melted snow
She was
hot in the molten glow
She was
hot, she got it in the blood
She was
hot like a dam that's burst
She was
strong, she was strong and true
She was
black and her eyes were blue
She was
lost and she took a chance
She's just
a brief romance
Down the
avenue, into the lost bayou
Into the
tall bamboo, back to the human zoo
I wish you
all the best, I hope we meet again
In a cold
Chicago night
She was
hot, she was hot
She was
hot, hot, hot, she was hot, hot, hot
She was
hot, hot, hot, she was hot, hot, hot
She was
hot, hot, hot, she was hot, hot, hot
She was
hot, hot, hot, she was hot, hot, hot...

She Was Hot, that's not
particularly strange.
That's a love-on-the-road type of song. I quite like that one.

She Was Hot
is
a bit of a on-the-road
song. You know, Detroit was smoky grey, nothing like the
good old
days
or something. It's a bit of a road song, which I hate - road
songs -
normally.
But, I mean, that's your experience so you draw on it.
