Evil Woman!

You could easily call them a "poor man's Beatles" if you were so inclined, but E.L.O. had plenty of great tunes in the 70's. And with Evil Woman, Jeff Lynn proved that he could write a pretty mean disco boogie. I was rocking out to this one earlier today, and it got me thinking about the "evil woman" in my own life. At first I was annoyed; but then, I was filled with glee when I realized that she'd be "facing the music" soon enough. This one is for you, babe. Why don't you swallow a handful of thumbtacks and wash it down with some Drano, you stupid wench??

Nahhhh, I didn't mean that.
Wait.
Yes I did, actually.

"You made a fool of me
But them broken dreams have got to end

Hey woman, you got the blues
'Cause you ain't got no one else to use
There's an open road that leads nowhere
So just make some miles between here and there

There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
HA HA, woman
It's a crying shame
But you ain't got nobody else to blame

Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman

Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold too hot to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze
HA HA, woman
What you gonna do?
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you
It's so good that you're feelin' pain
But you better get your face on board the very next train

Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman

Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman

Evil woman how you done me wrong
Now you're tryin' to wail a different song
HA HA, funny how you broke me up
You made the wine now you drink a cup

I came a-runnin' every time you cried
Thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes
HA HA, very nice to know
That you ain't got no place left to go

Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman."
