Dolls (Sweet Rock And Roll)

[Intro]
(La-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la)

[Verse 1: Bobby Gillespie]
Saw you walking down the street
Holding hands with some other guy
Wearin' a sharkskin suit, black patent leather boots
Big brown flyin' saucer eyes
I didn't talk to you then, you was kissing your friend
Besides, it was the wrong time and place
I went home, took a shower
Read "Our Lady of the Flowers" by Jean Genet
I knew we'd meet again

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't want your diamonds, don't want your gold
I want your love, I want your soul
Oh, come on babe, let's have a good time!

[Chorus]
(La-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Let's have a good time! (La-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Let's have a good time! (La-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Let's have a good time! (La-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Sweet Rock and Roll

[Verse 2]
I searched all over town, queers and dudes hangin' around
No one had ever seen a chick like you before
I hit strip joints and museums, bars and clubs and Jesus
I even prayed in a cathedral for your soul
Then one rainy winter Tuesday, I saw you on the subway
You were heading for the tunnel near the door
I pressed my face against the glass, you sped by me in a flash
Like a motorcycle crash you smoked my skull

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't want your diamonds, don't want your gold
I want your love, I want your soul
Oh, come on babe, let's have a good time!

[Chorus]
(La-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Let's have a good time! (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Woo!
Let's have a good time! (La-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Let's have a good time! (La-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Sweet Rock and Roll

[Interlude]
Here she comes now, alright!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Alison Mosshart]
So there I was again, walking in the pouring rain
Wondering who and why and where and what you were
I had hallucinatory dreams, shivers, sweats and screams
Like an opium withdrawal, only worse
Then on one hot summer night I took a motorcycle ride
Saw you looking mean 'n' evil, spitting fire from your eyes
Like a rockabilly queen 'bout to kick start your machine
Like a fighter pilot flying off to war
You had a tight black leather jacket, skull and crossbones on the back
God bless the soul of sweet Gene Vincent, there you were!

[Pre-Chorus: Bobby Gillespie]
I said
Don't want your diamonds, don't want your gold
I want your love, I want your soul
Come on babe, let's have a good time!

[Chorus]
(La-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Let's have a good time! (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Woo-woo-woo!
Let's have a good time! (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Woo-woo-woo!
Let's have a good time! (La-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Sweet, sweet Rock and Roll!
(La-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Let's have a good time! (La-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Good time, good time, good time (La-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Good time, good time, good time (La-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Sweet, sweet, sweet Rock and Roll!
