[Susan Foreman]

The third song is entitled 'Snakebite', which is a good, fast paced rocker. It's a catchy song, with a good bass sound

A real rattlesnake was used to get the sound of the rattle at the start of the song

As well as the obvious meaning, a 'snakebite' is a drink that is usually made of equal parts lager and cider. Although it is not illegal in England, many pubs will refuse to sell it due to the troublesome reputation it has. Mixing fruit alcohol and grain alcohol is generally considered to be a bad idea and snakebite seems to have the power to intoxicate quicker and more potently than your average brew. Variations include adding a dash of blackcurrant cordial to the mix, making a drink known as 'Diesel', and then adding a measure of vodka, making a 'Turbo Diesel'

"Somebody better shake you
Somebody better turn your head around
I'm scratching like a wild cat
I'm spittin' fire on the ground

You got my venom running thru ya
Ain't gonna let you run off wild

I'm Snakebite I'm your only man
Snakebite is your lover
You'll never hide, baby understand
Snakebite drags you under
I'm Snakebite
They call me Snakebite

Nobody gonna take you
Nobody gonna touch your rebel skin
I'll break 'em like a matchstick
'Cause baby that's the kind of mood I'm in

My face is tattooed on your shoulder
An' your name is scratched into my bike, yeah

I'm Snakebite, I'm your only man
Snakebite is your lover
You'll never hide, baby understand
Snakebite drags you under
I'm Snakebite
They call me Snakebite

You got my venom runnin' thru ya (thru ya)
If you're gonna run
Go running scared, I'm right behind ya

I'm Snakebite, I'm your only man
Snakebite is your lover
You'll never hide, baby understand
Snakebite drags you under

I'm Snakebite, I'm your only man
Snakebite is your lover
You'll never hide, baby understand
Snakebite drags you under
I'm Snakebite
They call me Snakebite

(Snakebite, I'm your only man)
(Snakebite is your lover)
I'm gonna slither on up to ya..
(You'll never hide, baby understand)
(Snakebite drags you under )
I'm gonna crawl up your leg
(Snakebite, I'm your only man)
(Snakebite is your lover)
I'm gonna give you a bite
(You'll never hide, baby understand)
(Snakebite drags you under)
You`re gonna give me good fever
(Snakebite, I'm your only man)
(Snakebite is your lover)
Sssssss......
You'll never hide, baby understand
Snakebite drags you under
(fade out)"

04/12 - Burning Our Bed (Cooper, Pitrelli, Pfeifer, West)



"Baby, don't you shed a tear for me
I wouldn't want to waste your time
You talked a lot of trash and ya lied to me
But babe, you never even tried

Oh, oh, oh
You can hold my heart for ransom
But you'll never own my soul

Baby, I might lose my mind
Maybe I might lose my head
But one thing I'll never do
Is swallow my pride crawlin' back to you
Baby, I'm burning our bed

There used to be a time when you were everything
My flame thru the night
You got me hot
Then you blew me out
Like this match I'm about to light

Oh, oh, oh
You can tear my heart to pieces
Left me standing in the cold

Baby, I might lose my mind
Maybe I might lose my head
One thing I gotta do
Is torch those sheets and pillows too
Baby, I'm burning out bed

Well, I used to think your were so kind
How could I be so blind

Oh, oh, oh
I'm free
But I'm alone

Maybe, I might lose my mind (I might lose my mind)
Maybe I might lose my head (might lose my head)
One I swear to you
You`re gonna feel the heat 'fore this night is through
Baby, You`re burning me
Sometimes a man can bleed
Baby I'm burning our bed

Mayby, I might lose my mind
I don`t care
Maybe I might lose my head
Aw, wouldn`t be the first time...
But one thing I'll never do
Is swallow my pride crawlin' back to you
Baby, I'm burning our bed"
