Switchblade Serenade

I was doing a search on the internet today to try to find lyrics to the song Switchblade Serenade by the band Spread Eagle. With numerous sites like lyrics.com, lyricsworld.com, lyricsfreak.com, azlyrics.com… (etc)… you’d think someone would have the lyrics to this song on their website. You can probably see where this is going. Suffice to say, these lyrics do not exist anywhere on the entire internet.

This is not an obscure song. If I recall correctly, it was released in 1990 and the band made a music video for it shortly after.

I did manage to find chunks of the song in one location. [ http://adultfan.nexcess.net/aff/story.php?no=544183567 ] (Update: Link broken) Yes, adult fan fiction. I didn’t really read any of the story itself, but scattered in bold throughout it, for some reason, are some of the lyrics from Switchblade Serenade. This is the best the internet had to offer.

In case you’re interested, I have the song available for download here.

    it was obscure . . . i mean, me and my brother knew it bo no one else seemed to, we loved it . . . we tried to spread the word about the group, we both though between the above avarage musical ability and his dynamic voice couple with less then boring lyrics that they should have made it pretty damn big, but not too unlike now, people listen to mostly talentless drivel

    I myself love the band as well. and cannot find anything on the internet about them. I have the cd and the lyrics are in there. if you wish to know them email me and I’ll send them to you. I’m glad to see others enjoy good music as well.

    I know its been years since this was posted on.. but here are the lyrics

    I gotta wicked woman
    Woman got a vicious tongue
    Late at night I come home a little drunk
    And we go one on one
    Sittin’ in the kitchen listenin’ to your bitchin’
    Every night of my life
    You made this home a combat zone
    You cut me like a knife, come on

    Woman you’re tougher then leather
    You make it hard on me

    We got problems baby that’s ok
    Cause I’m still lovin’ you anyway
    If we put down our weapons for just one night
    Maybe we can make it right
    But we just fight

    The sound you hear is the knife cut
    Switchblade Serenade
    The sound you hear’s the knife cut
    Switchblade

    Tell me I’m wastin’ my money
    Tell me I’m wastin’ my time
    Hangin’ with trash spendin’ my cash
    Oh cheap talk, whiskey and wine
    You just ain’t the same girl
    Same girl I used to know
    Love and hate seem to be our fate
    And it cuts me to the bone

    We got problems baby that’s ok
    Cause I’m still lovin’ you anyway
    If we put down our weapons for just one night
    Maybe we can make it right
    But we just fight

    The sound you hear is the knife cut
    Switchblade Serenade
    The sound you hear’s the knife cut
    Switchblade Serenade

    I gotta wicked woman
    Woman got a vicious tongue
    Late at night I come home a little drunk
    And we go one on one
    Tryin’ hard to hold steady
    Try and give it one more chance
    But it’s the same old song playin’ on and on
    And I don’t wanna dance

    The sound you hear is the knife cut
    Switchblade Serenade
    The sound you hear’s the knife cut
    Switchblade Serenade
    Switchblade Serenade
    Switchblade Serenade
