Silence, a not too successful group from the Welsh borders, were joined by session pianist and rock n roll hopeful Ian Hunter. Developed from Dylan obsessives to their own character over the course of four albums for Island. Very popular live (banned from the Royal Albert Hall after seat smashing incident precursor of punk rock), but no great record sales. Decided to split up, but then continued to record "All the Young Dudes", written for them by up and coming pop star, and fan - David Bowie. Three more albums and several pop hits before finally falling apart when Ian Hunter left in 1974.

Lounge Lizzard Lyrics

Mott The Hoople

(ian hunter)
Well I picked her up on a saturday night
Shes a pool hall poison but it smelt all right
Oh ma, what a sight when I saw her in the light of day
She was a speakeasy sleazer of the lowest degree
You should hear the stories she was layin on me
Said she got the lot, but she only spiked a few
Shes a lounge lizard, coming on strong
Who are you foolin, yeah yeah yeah
Lounge lizard, coming on strong
You gotta be joking just give give give
Now I dont care if your boy`s names john
I dont care where your mother comes from
Just give it to me, just pull it through me all right
I dont care if your make-ups a cop
Well I dont mind just keep your raincoat on
No conversation, my reputations (? )
Shes a lounge lizard, coming on strong
Who are you foolin, its me youre with
Lounge lizard, come on strong
You gotta be joking, just give give give
Shes a lounge lizard, coming on strong
Who she foolin, its me youre with
Lounge lizard, come on come on
You gotta be joking, just give give give
Lounge lizard, coming on strong
Who are you foolin, its me youre with
Lounge lizard, coming on strong
You gotta be joking, just give give give
Give give give
Give give give
Yeah give give give
Yeah give give give
