[Susan Foreman]

Continuing with side two of 'Trash', 'This Maniacs In Love With You' is not the ballad that the title would have you believe. Instead it is a guitar based rocker. Again, it's a bland 80's rock song.

Alice Cooper - Vocals
John McCurry - Guitar
Hugh McDonald - Bass
Bobby Chouinard - Drums
Alan St. John - Keyboards

For the last time on the album, Guy Mann-Dude plays guitar

The co-writers for this song were Bob Held, who also worked with Deep Purple and Joe Lynn Turner, and also Tom Teeley, who was a member of the New York based new wave band The Metromen

07/10 - This Maniacs In Love With You (Cooper, Teeley, Held, Child)



" I used to be so in control
But reality is losing its hold
Now I don't know where to begin
Just look at the state that I'm in
My mind is in total decay
I'm comin' to take you away

There's nothing more that I can do
(This maniac's in love with you )
Your biggest fear has just come true
(This maniac's in love with you )
(This maniac's in love with you )
(This maniac, this maniac )

My heart has been strapped in a straight jacket love
The therapy boys say it fits like a glove
I'm crossing the line in my brain
The line between pleasure and pain
It takes all I've got to survive
This madness will eat me alive

There's nothing more that I can do
(This maniac's in love with you)
Your biggest fear has just come true
(This maniac's in love with you)
There's nothing more that I can do
(This maniac's in love with you)
I'm all locked up inside of you
(This maniac, this maniac)

I just don't know where to begin
Just look at the state that I'm in
My mind is in total decay
I'm comin' to take you away

There's nothing more that you can do
{This maniac's in love with you}
Your biggest fear has just come true
{This maniac's in love with you}
There's nothing more that you can do
{This maniac's in love with you}
Your biggest fear has just come true
{This maniac, this maniac}
{This maniac's in love with you}
{This maniac's in love with you}
There's nothing more that you can do
{This maniac's in love with you}
You`re biggest fear has just come true
{This maniac's in love with you}
Putting my hand up fumblin' through
{This maniac's in love with you}
You`re biggest fearhas just comerue
{This maniac's in love with you}
{This maniac's in love with you} "

The album's title track is next, and 'Trash' is almost a good song. Musically, it sounds like a throwback to the 70's material Alice was recording

"It ain't the way you crawl across the Cathouse floor
An' ain't the way you curse me when you slam the bedroom door
An' aint the way you sweat me for a handful of easy cash
Yeah, just the way you love me when you turn to trash
Trash, yeah..

It's not the way you dress when you socialize, oh those eyes
An' ain't the diamond rock or that Rolls you drive
Aw, you can walk the streets with all your uptown flash, such flash
But when you hit the sheets you just turn to trash
You're such trash

I love the way you look
You're such a high class tramp
It's not the way you touch me when your...
You're daddy's dream, you're a peach in cream and you're finally ripe at last
But when you hit the sheets you just turn to trash
Trash , Trash
Yeah you're trash
[Jon]C'mon momma, help me climb aboard, owww.....

I love the way you look
You're such a high class tramp, I like a tramp
It's not the way you touch me when your...
Make me understand
You're daddy's dream, you're a peach in cream and you're finally ripe at last
But when you hit the sheets you just turn to trash

[Alice] Oh
You know you`re mighty cool, you know you`re mighty wild
C'mon down here with that penthouse smile
Trash
[Jon] Dirty baby..
[Alice] Baby you get down low as you can get
[Alice] Been dreaming hard and put away wet
[Alice] Trash
[Both] What you want, what you want, what you want,I got it
[Both] What you want, what you want, what you want,I got it
[Jon] Hey baby what`s you`re name
[Alice] Oh she`s trash..
[Jon] ahuh
[Alice] Street trash
[Jon] How low can you go?
[Alice] Looooww
[Jon] If my love was like a lolly pop would you lick it?
[Alice] Until you get to the chewy centre"
