Flick Of The Wrist (BBC Session / October 16th 1974, Maida Vale 4 Studio) Lyrics

Dislocate your spine if you don't sign he says
I'll have you seeing double
Mesmerize you when he's tongue-tied
Simply with those eyes
Synchronize your minds and see
The beast within him rise

Don't look back
Don't look back
It's a rip-off

Flick of the wrist and your dead baby
Blow him a kiss and you're mad
Flick of the wrist
He'll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
He's taken an arm and taken a leg
All this time honey
Baby you've been had

Intoxicate your brain with what I'm saying
If not you'll lie in knee-deep trouble
Prostitute yourself he says
Castrate your human pride
Sacrifice your leisure days
Let me squeeze you till you've dried

Don't look back
Don't look back
It's a rip-off

Solo

Work my fingers to my bones
I scream with pain
I still make no impression
Seduce you with his money-make machine
Cross-collateralize
(Big-time money money)
Reduce you to a muzak-fake machine
Then the last goodbye

It's a rip off

Flick of the wrist and your dead baby
Blow him a kiss and you're mad
Flick of the wrist
He'll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
He's taken an arm and taken a leg
All this time honey
Baby you've been ... (had)
