Teddy I’m Ready Lyrics
Everybody talks sarcastic
Everybody's in the know
I think I might do something drastic
If they don't let me go away from it all
But I can't afford a jet plane
And the price of gas is high
There's nowhere that I can run to
When I feel so sick and shy
Gonna make a big noise to the sky
Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll (x2)
And if she smiles at me in the snow
Baby, I'm ready to rock, rock and roll
And I whispered that I loved her
In the ancient photo booth
She's just got one of those faces
That demands the truth
She likes Ted Hawkins too
And the truth is just a mole rat
Crawling underneath the earth
It is naked and it's gnawing away at the world
And it hurts so bad I could cry
But they don't allow no crying
In the cold straight world of men
So I build my little fortress
'Til I can get even
Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll (x2)
I can see now, she's an angel
Flying in my bedroom window
I'm ready to rock and roll, ready to rock and roll

Sleeve notes for this track read:
Everybody talks sarcastic, everybody’s in the know. Sick of it all. Living at my parent’s again for a bit – what the hell is my life. Building my fortress. Poster of Ted Hawkins on the wall. Or whoever. He seems to know secrets. Noise must be made. Do it for Teddy....
