Lyrics for Pump It Up - Live At Pinkpop, 1979

Out there on Tanner Hook Head of the dirty looks Sit through the music Think of that, isn't that She said that's that I don't wanna change that Turn it down a little bit Turn it down flat Pump it up 'Til you can feel it Pump it up And you know where it's needed Down in the pleasure center Out there on Amazon Sit through the propaganda Sit through the latest band This guy's an early habit She couldn't understand Pump it up 'Til you can feel it Pump it up And you know where it's needed Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'd just like to introduce you to the Attractions On the drums Long, tall, thin and rockin', Mr. Pete Thomas On the bass guitar The future of the four fingers Mr. Bruce Thomas And last but not least The sultan of the 80s Phil Marshall on the brain She's been a bad girl She's like a chemical Though you try to stop her She's like a narcotic You wanna talk to her You wanna talk to her I don't think she'd bother With my good temperature Pump it up 'Til you can feel it Pump it up And you know where it's needed Out in the pleasure trip Out in the bargain bin You put your passion out And in the place of it Body will do something So need to run a transmission You speak she never ever listen Pump it up 'Til you can feel it Pump it up And you know where it's needed Oh, pump it up 'Til you can feel it Pump it up And you know where it's needed Oh, pump it up 'Til you can feel it Pump it up And you know where it's needed You know where it's needed You know where it's needed You know where it's needed Ow
