Hell's Eight Acres Lyrics - Adam And The Ants

Happy as a punk in boys town 

No more talk about doing 

Going 'round the twist with heartbreak 

You're in need of protection 

Not from me but from yourself 

Going 'round the twist with heartbreak 

Big brother won't like it 

'Cause you're one of life's takers 

Go tell the Spartans 

We're on Hell's eight acres 

Walked with kings you know, self law 

Pencil skirts and that gear 

Going 'round the twist with heartbreak 

Crouched and trembling with hate 

Mixes both and dies both ways 

Going 'round the twist with heartbreak 

Just a little boy in a man's world 

Dying on his feet you see 

Going 'round the twist with heartbreak 

Busy fighting the inch war 

Paws and claws and black velvet 

Going 'round the twist with heartbreak
