lyrics

Linda Lee

Saturday morning on King Street
Round about 4am
The strippers call it money o'clock
Cause the cash starts flowin' then

Down in a club called The Bucket of Love
Worked a dancer named Linda Lee
No-one would have predicted
That she would go on a killing spree

Linda Lee
Linda Lee

When Linda arrived at work that night
She took a shot of tequila
Then she came by Candy Cane
Her colleague and drug dealer

Twas an evil, angry batch of speed
As if cooked by the devil
And from the time she snorted that line
Linda Lee unravelled

Linda Lee
Linda Lee

Through the crowd there came a man
He said, "My name is Murray"
He asked her to go do a private show
And to the mirror room they hurried

Linda danced for Murray
Fifty bucks per ten
Then with a smirk he said the deadly words
"Linda, I've got a wife and kids in the suburbs...
I'm a family man"

Linda Lee
Linda Lee

When Linda heard those words she froze
She'd heard them times before
And they only came from the mouths of men
Who would call her a slut and a whore

Linda tried to do her show
Knowing just what lay ahead
Then, true to form
His tone changed to scorn and
This is what he said

He said, "You skanky little stripper
You're nothin' but a slut and a whore."
"Well," Linda said, "You're gonna get a dance
Like you've never had before"

"I'm just gonna change to
Set the stage for
the lap dance of your life."
She left the room
Changed the tune
And she took another line

Linda Lee
Oh Linda Lee

And just a few moments later, Linda stood before Murray

A tattoo on her pussy
Smith and Wesson in her hand
Naked but for a pink sequined cowboy hat with matching chaps
Linda lined up her man
And she shot that motherfucker
In his motherfucking head
Nine times she shot that Muzza
Just to make sure he was dead

Linda Lee
Oh Linda Lee

There was blood on every mirror
A kaleidoscope of gore
And Muzza's lead filled body
Was left lyin' on the floor

After she shot that Muzza down
Just like a hunted roo
Linda sighed, and she said
"Oh Muzz, it's been a business
Doing pleasure with you"
