I pity the poor people who think Rob only came out in 1998.

Badass !

David Adams

This is the song when I knew he was a friend of Dorothy.

That feel when a homosexual writes better lyrics and sings better songs about lust, intimacy, and passion than 90% of straight folks.

The title of the song is "Raw Deal", and the term "raw" meaning bareback or unprotected sex, was quite common during the 1970's gay underground scene. "Raw Deal" may also be a reference to the raw deal that gay people were receiving from society during that time period. Combined with the homoerotic lyrics, this is perhaps Judas Priest's queerest song, and it was done fairly early in their career. The other band members like Tipton and Downing denied the band had any gay overtones, but this song, along with the "leather n' studs" aesthetic of the band paints a different picture to the casual observer. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The missing lyrics can be heard if you listen closely and follow the story, incidently a modified version of the lyrics are on priests website, though they aren't the original ones as heard here on this original song. Obviously it's a song about the gay scene/nightlife at a bar called The Spike in New York's Fire Island. That is undisputed. The odd thing is I knew that 25 yrs ago but I still enjoyed the song and the whole album,

I have a remastered copy of Sin After Sin on CD with the lyrics included...hope this helps clear up some of the confusion...good job though doing this by just listening...I made a spike about nine o'clock on a SaturdayAll eyes hit me as I walked into the barAnd seeing other guys were fooling with the denim dudesA couple cards played rough stuff, New York, fire islandI cased the joint, straining at the seamsI moseyed up to the counter and the tender came a-grinnin'I snapped the smile off his face and scowled "Give me a bourbon"The mirror on the wall was collecting and reflectingAll the heavy bodies ducking, stealing eager for some actionThe scene screwed me up, I saw some contactThen the big boys saw me and knew thatI'd had too much, floating aroundStatues alive, seconds are hoursSacks like a hurricane, wrapped in and shatteredI was barely holding on to this crying bawling symphonyI guess I dream in pictures, not coloursThe true free expression I demand is human rights - rightI gave my live, I am immortalI'm going, no lossI'm going, no lossI'm going, no lossI'm going, no lossNightmare, just a bunch of goddamn, rotten, steaming, raw deal
