Jim Steinman: Love and Death and American Guitar Song Lyrics

Love and Death and American Guitar


I remember everything!
I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterdayI was barely 17 and I once killed a boy with a fender guitar
I don't remember if it was a Telecaster or a Stratocaster,but i do remember
that it had a heart of chrome and a voice like a horny angel
I don't remember if it was a Telecaster or a Stratocaster, but I do remember
that it wasn't at all easy
It required the perfect combination of the right powerchords and the precise angle
from which to strike
The guitar bled for about a week afterwards and the blood was
ooh
dark and rich like wild berries
The blood of the guitar was Chuck Berry red!
The guitar bled for about a week afterwards and it rung out beautifully ,
and I was able to play notes that I had never even heard before
So I took my guitar and I smashed it against the wall!!
I smashed it against the floor!!
I smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader!!
I smashed it against the hood of a car
I smashed it agianst a 1981-Harley Davidson
The Harley howled in pain, the guitar howled in heat!
I ran up the stairs to my parents bedroom
Mommy and Daddy were sleeping in the moonlight
slowly I opened the door creeping in the shadows right up to the foot of the bed
I raised my guitar high above my head and just as I was
about to bring the guitar crashing down upon the center of the bed
my father woke up screaming:
"stopwait a minutestop it,boy"
"what do you think you're doing???
That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument"
And I said "god damn it, daddy!!!You know I love you"
"BUT YOU GOT A HELL OF A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!"
