Fabulous Thunderbirds, The - Twist Of The Knife Lyrics






It's a shame when you got me where you want me
But you want me somewhere else
And it's a shame the way you take my lovin'
Baby, on and off the shelf

It's a shame, shame, shame
The way you run my life
But you always insist
On another little twist of the knife

Tell me how many times can I believe
You've been out with your best friend
When you don't even care if the whole town sees you
Out with another man

It's a shame, shame, shame
The way you run my life
But you always insist
On another little twist of the knife

Your lips, I can't resist
Your eyes, they hypnotize
With an endless supply of bullets to bite
So every day I can take another little twist of the knife

Your lips, I can't resist
Your eyes, they hypnotize
With an endless supply of bullets to bite
So every day I can take another little twist of the knife

Well, a man takes an ounce of dignity
And a pound of foolish pride
And he gives it up for a woman like you
To keep her satisfied

It's a shame, shame, shame
The way you run my life
But you always insist
On another little twist of the knife

Baby, it's a shame, shame, shame
The way you run my life
But you always insist
On another little twist of the knife

It's a shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
It's a shame
It's a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
Oh, baby, don't do me like that

    It's a shame, shame, shame that u don't hear this on the radio any more

  3. k.... b....

    the Fabulous Thunderbirds were the rocker's at the time they came out!! and we played every song Like it was are Last time on stage... thanks for the video...

  4. k.... b....

    bang this!!! this is a favorite we did live...

  5. R.... P....

    Twist that knife baby

  6. J.... J....

    the reason SRV said his brother was his favorite guitarist

    J.... J....

    Which is weird since Jimmie wasn't even in the band at this point.

  7. A.... R....

    Twist of the knife is happening to me at work right now

  8. R.... P....

    Top shelf

  9. S.... F....

    I love blasting this on my old school hi first cranked up where the 12" woofers almost blast off the cabinets.

  10. S.... F....

    Yeah baby. Fab T-birds all the way.

  11. J.... D....

    a lot of potential in this short lived line up with Duke Robillard. Songs on the one LP were uneven. This one's a keeper.........

  12. R.... A....

    This slide show is the dumbest thing ever. Endless pics of Jimmy Vaughn and he wasn’t even in the band for this album. The guitar player was Duke Robbilard.

  13. T.... ....

    Underrated band

  14. j.... e....

    perfect rockin song saludos from barcelona

  15. M.... S....

    My dad introduced me to this band among others when I was only 3 years old. I grew up with amazing music like this one thanks to my dad. Today I am 26 years old. Young I know, but I have an old soul and I love this kind of music. Too bad we don't have any talented "artists" these days...

  16. J.... M....

    Pasion contra river

  17. J.... J....

    Duke Robillard played lead guitar on this album, thanks for posting.

    J.... J....

    yes he did...he's fantastic!

  18. C.... B....

    duke robillard better than jimmy? BOF! question inspiration c'est tout!

  19. M.... S....

    to paraphrase.. a kick ass smoking song. I've seen the tbirds in concert a couple of times and their live show is great

  20. M.... S....

    done in the spirit of 70s music that is

  21. M.... S....

    the first time I heard this song in the early 90s it occurred to me that this was a 70s song and I mean that in a good way

  22. b.... r....

    j'aime *******

  23. G.... J....

    My favorite T-Bird's song. Duke Robillard is a much better guitarist than Jimmie Vaughn!

    G.... J....

    Meh. Who's to say one is "better" than the other? Music isn't a competitive sport.

  24. P.... M....

    3.50 best riff ever!

    P.... M....

    Yeah, that one sticks in my head for days.

  25. E.... a....

    The guitar work and Fran Christina's drumming on this is, pardon the pun, fabulous. But it's the lyrics and Kim Wilson's delivery that put this over the top for me. One of my favorite Thunderbirds songs.

  26. C.... G....

    Great east coast swing.

  27. H.... D....

    Wonderful !

  28. o.... ....

    This is one of my favorite songs ever! T-Birds... despite the fact they changed formation several times what a great band, always fantastic!!!

  29. D.... L....

    rockin! reelin! and bouncin off the ceilin!! good stuff!!

  30. J.... R....

    good rockin tune. one of my favorites from the fabulous thunderbirds.

  31. T.... M....

    Jimmie Vaughan wasn't in the band for this album.

    T.... M....

    the first album without Jimmie
