Fuel

This installment of Lyric Tuesdays is for my husband.

I am not a huge fan of rock. I prefer things that sound much more mellow, such as Nat King Cole, Jonny Lang, Madeleine Peyroux, Billie Holiday, Etta James, etc. However, my husband is addicted to what I like to call "Angry-White-Man-Music". He adores 93x and thinks there are no greater musical genius' on the planet than Metallica. Now, I may agree that they are good -- for rockers -- and I definitely think it takes talent to come off as being so furious and certifiably psychotic all the time. So here is to the love of my life, Fuel by Metallica. Rock on... or something.

"Fuel"

Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire

Turn on, I see red
Adrenaline crash and crack my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red

One hundred plus through black and white
War horse
War head
Fuck em, man
White knuckle tight
Through black and white

Oh, on I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard
Loose and clean

Oh, and on I burn
turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline

So gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire

Turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future
Spit out home
Burn your face upon the chrome

Take the corner, join the crash
Headlights, headlines
Another junkie lives too fast

Yeah
Lives way too fast, fast, fast, fast, fast

Oh, on I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean

Oh, and on I burn
turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline

So gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire yeah yeahe!!!!

white knuckle tight!

Oh
Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
My desire

Oh, on I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean

And On I burn
turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline

Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire

On I burn
