Hire & Fire Lyrics - No Jive - Nazareth

It was a night, it was just another night 

She was sayin' lots of nothing 

She was none too bright 

But you'll listen much to anythin' 

When anythin's in sight, won't ya! 

Double back trouble like a temperance hall 

She's dealin' with the ceilin' 

And the writings on the wall 

Then you're wishing it was over, like an endless fall. 

It's a lane side fight 

Oh no! another main line ride 

Oh no! there ain't a train in sight 

Oh no! settin' my soul on fire 

Try her and buy her 

Hire and fire her 

Playin' the game his latest flame 

Now it's a fine line between passion and dread 

Foolin' and a droolin' 

Starts rulin' your head 

To seduction, destruction 

We're so easily lead 

And then the dawn, the so impatient telephone 

The smell of disappointment 

Mirror wants to pick a bone 

It's a cup of cold coffee 

Like the taste of stale beer 

Let's get outta here 

It's a lane side fight 

Oh no! another main line ride 

Oh no! there ain't a train in sight 

Oh no! settin' my soul on fire 

Try her and buy her 

Hire and fire her 

Carry the flame and make it last 

Carry the blame and kiss your ass goodbye.
