Heute DER Klassiker der legendären Australier “Rose Tattoo”, erst das Video mit einem Live-Auftritt aus dem Jahre 2006 gefolgt von den Lyrics…
She hit town a rose in bloom
Smell the sweet, sweet perfume
The color faded and the petals died
Down in the city no one criedAnd in the streets the garbage lies
Protected by a million flies
With roaches so big they got bones
They moved in and made themselves at homeI say nice boys…don’t play rock’n’roll
Nice boys…don’t play rock’n’roll
I’m not a nice boy!Sweet sixteen she was fresh and clean
Wanted so bad to be part of the scene
She met the man and she did the smack
And now, she pays the price layin’ down on her backWant so bad just to please the boys
Ended up bein’ just a toy
Played so hard burned her life away
Lies were told no promises madeNice boys…don’t play rock’n’roll
Nice boys…don’t play rock’n’roll
I’m not a nice boy…and I never wasYoung and fresh when she hit town
Hot for kicks just to get around
And now she lays in a filthy room
She kills the pain with a flick and a spoonAnd in the streets the garbage lies
protected by a million of lies
With roaches so big they got bones
They moved in and made a tenement homeNice boys…don’t play rock’n’roll
