Tough As Nails from Danny's CD So-Lo. (Oingo Boingo.) 80's music.

Lyrics:

Mr. Macho loves his women with such dedication

Second only to his car that drives as fast as light

On a highway bad jet fighters come from all directions

Shooting verbal missiles, find their target right on sight, right on sight

In the office things get rough as action is diminished

Staring at a paper he is lost inside his head

Dreaming of a battlefield with guns and ammunition

All around, the bodies of the wounded and the dead, and the dead

'Cause he's tough as nails

He's tough as nails

He's such a live wire

Now its time for football and a bout with heavy drinking

Holding so much liquor makes him feel like a man

As he drifts out on the sea on a ship that's slowly sinking

Quietly salutes himself and the courage he once had, he once had

'Cause he's tough as nails

He's tough as nails

Walking round and round in circles

Waking up in a cold sweat

Falling down a stairway and the TV dinner's not done yet

Smash a window, crash a car

And buy a pair of leather shoes

Take a sweetheart to a movie

Cash a check and pay some dues

He's such a live wire

(Walking round and round in circles

Waking up in a cold sweat)

He's such a live wire

(Falling down a stairway and the TV dinner's not done yet)

He's such a live wire

(Smash a window, crash a car

And buy a pair of leather shoes)

He's such a live wire

(Take a sweetheart to a movie

Cash a check and pay some dues)

'Cause he's tough as nails

He's tough as nails

He's such a live wire

He's such a live wire

(Walking round and round in circles

Waking up in a cold sweat)

He's such a live wire

(Falling down a stairway and the TV dinner's not done yet)

He's such a live wire

(Smash a window, crash a car

And buy a pair of leather shoes)

He's such a live wire

(Take a sweetheart to a movie

Cash a check and pay some dues)

It should be illegal for something to be this underrated. All you hipsters can go choke on your shitty street tacos.

The man has talent, from singing bluesy as bone jangles in the corpse bride and than almost oprah- like in nightmare before christmas, doing so many different techniques, that's talent. Oh how i wish he had more solo stuff.
