Wings - Venus And Mars Lyrics






Venus And Mars

Sitting In The Stand Of The Sports Arena
Waiting For The Show To Begin
Red Lights, Green Lights, Strawberry Wine,
A Good Friend Of Mine, Follows The Stars,
Venus And Mars
Are Alright Tonight.

Rock Show

What's That Man Holding In His Hand?
He Looks A Lot Like A Guy I Knew Way Back When
Its Silly Willy With Philly Band
Could Be . . . . . Oo-Ee . . . . . .

What's That Man Movin' Cross The Stage?
It Looks A Lot Like The One Used By Jimmy Page
Its Like A Relic From A Different Age
Could Be . . . . . Oo-Ee . . . . . .

If There's Rock Show
At The Concertgebow
They're Got Long Hair
At The Madison Square
You've Got Rock And Roll
At The Hollywood Bowl,
We'll Be There . . . . . . Oo Yeah . . . . . . .

The Lights Go Down - They're Back In Town O.K.
Behind The Stacks You Glimpse An Axe
The Tension Mounts You Score An Ounce Ole!
Temperatures Rise As You See The White Of Their Eyes

If There's Rock Show
At The Concertgebow
You're Got Long Hair
At The Madison Square
They've Got Rock And Roll
At The Hollywood Bowl,
We'll Be There . . . . . . Oo Yeah . . . . . . .

In My Green Metal Suit I'm Preparing To Shoot Up The City
And The Ring At The End Of My Nose Makes Me Look Rather Pretty
Its A Pity There's Nobody Here To Witness The End
Save For My Dear Old Friend And Confidante - Madamoiselle Kitty

What's That Man Movin' To And Fro?
That Decibel Meter Doesn't Seem To Be Reading Low.
But They Was Louder At The Rainbow
Could Be . . . . . Oo-Ee . . . . . .

If There's Rock Show
At The Concertgebow
They're Got Long Hair
At The Madison Square
You Got Rock And Roll
At The Hollywood Bowl,
We'll Be There . . . . . . Oo Yeah . . . . . . .

If There's Rock Show . . . . . . .

If There's Rock Show . . . . . . .

Love In Song

My Heart Cries Out For Love
And All That Goes With Loving
Love In Song - Love In Song

My, You're So Fine
When Love Is Mine
I Can't Go Wrong,
Love In Song - Love In Song

I Can See The Places That
We Used To Go To Now
Happiness In The Homeland

Happiness In The Homeland

My Eye Cries Out
A Tear Still Born
Misunderstanding
Love In Song - Love In Song

I Can See The Places That
We Used To Go To Now
Happiness In The Homeland

Happiness In The Homeland

My, You're So Fine
When Love Is Mine
I Can't Go Wrong,
Love In Song - Love In Song - Love In Song.

You Gave Me The Answer

You gave me the answer to love eternally
I love you and you, you seem to like me

Wherever we wander the local folk agree
I love you and you, you seem to like me

Heading back to old familiar places
Places where the cobwebs blow away

I can forget the airs and graces terpsichory
You'll never be crowned by the aristocracy

To their delight, you'd merely invite
Them in for a cup of tea and I love you and you

You seem to like you seem to like
You seem to like me

Magneto And Titanium Man

Well I Was Talking Last Night
Magneto And Titanium Man . . .
We Were Talking About You, Babe,
Oo --- They Said ---

You Were Involved In A Robbery
That Was Due To Happen
At A Quarter To Three
In The Main Street.

I Didn't Believe Them
Magneto And Titanium Man . . .
But When The Crimson Dynamo
Finally Assured Me, Well, I Knew

You Were Involved In A Robbery
That Was Due To Happen
At A Quarter To Three
In The Main Street.

So We Went Out
Magneto And Titanium Man . . .
And The Crimson Dynamo
Came Along For The Ride

We Went To Town With The Library
And We Swung All Over That
Long Tall Bank In The Main Street

Well There She Were And To My Despair
She's A Five-Star Criminal
Breaking The Code

Magneto Said "Now The Time Come
To Gather Our Forces And Run!!!"
Oh No . . . . . .
This Can't Be So . . . . . .

And Then It Occurred To Me!

You Couldn't Be Bad
Magneto Was Mad!
Titanium Too!
And The Crimson Dynamo
Just Couldn't Cut It No More
You Were The Law . . . . . .

Letting Go

Ah, She Tastes Like Wine
Such A Human Being So Divine
Oh She Feels Like Sun
Mother Nature Look At What You're Done

Oh I Feel Like Letting Go
Oh I Feel Like Letting Go.

Ah, She Looks Like Snow
I Want To Put Her In A Broadway Show
Ah She'll Dance And Dine
Like A Lucifer She'll Always Shine

Oh I Feel Like Letting Go
Oh I Feel Like Letting Go.

Oh I Feel Like Letting Go.

Ah, She Sings It So
I Want To Put Her On The Radio
One Day And There You Are
Ladies And Gentleman -
A Brand New Star.

Oh I Feel Like Letting Go
Oh I Feel Like Letting Go.

Venus And Mars (reprise)

Sitting in the stand of the sports arena
Waiting for the show to begin
Red lights, green lights, strawberry wine
A good friend of mine, follows the stars
Venus and Mars
Are alright tonight

What's that man holding in his hands?
He looks a lot like a guy I knew way back when
It's silly willy with the Philly band
Could be oo-ee

What's that man who's across the stage?
He looks a lot like the one who
[?] It's like a relic from a different age
Could be oo-ee

If there's a rock show at the concert gebow
They've got long hair
At the Madison square
You've got rock and roll
At the Hollywood Bowl
We'll be there oh yeah

In my green metal suit I'm preparing to shoot up the city
And the ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty
Its a pity there's nobody here to witness the end
Save for my dear old friend and confidante Mademoiselle Kitty

Whats that man movin' to and fro?
That decibel meter doesn't seem to be reading low
But they was louder at the Rainbow
Could be oo-ee

If there's a Rock Show at the Concert gebow
They've got long hair
At the Madison Square
You've got Rock and Roll
At the Hollywood Bowl
We'll be there oh yeah

If there's a rock show at the Concert gebow
They've got long hair oh at the Madison
You've got Rock and Roll at the Hollywood Bowl

Spirits Of Ancient Egypt

You're My Baby And I Love You
You Can Take A Pound Of Love
And Cook It In The Stew . . . . .

When You've Finished Doing That
I Know What You'll Want To Do
'Cos You're My Baby And I Love You

I'm Your Baby -- Do You Love Me?
I Can Drive A Cadillac
Across The Irish Sea
But When I've Finished Doing That
I Know Where I'll Want To Be
'Cos I'm Your Baby, And You Love Me.

Spirits Of Ancient Egypt
Shadows Of Ancient Rome
Spirits Of Ancient Egypt
Hung On The Telly
Hung On The Telly
Hung On The Telephone . . . .

You're My Baby, I Know You Know
You Could Sell An Elevator
To Geronimo
And When You've Finished Doing That
I Know Where You'll Want To Go
'Cos You're My Baby, I Know You Know

Spirits Of Ancient Egypt
Echoes Of Sunken Spain
Spirits Of Ancient Egypt
Hung On The 'Phone
A-Hung On The 'Phone
A-Hung On The 'Phone

Medicine Jar

What's wrong with you?
I wish, I knew
You say, time will tell
I hope that's true

There's more to life than blues and reds
I say, I know how you feel
Now your friends are dead

Dead on your feet, you won't get far
If you keep on sticking your hand
In the medicine jar

Now don't give up
Whatever you do
You say, time will tell
I hope that's true

If you go down and lose your head
I say, I know how you feel
Now your friends are dead

Dead on your feet, you won't get far
If you keep on sticking your hand
In the medicine jar

I said, "Dead on your feet, you won't get far
If you keep on sticking your hand
In the medicine jar"

Check it

What can I do?
I can't let go
You say, time will heal
But very slow

So don't forget the things you said
I say, I know how you feel
Now your friends are dead

Dead on your feet, you won't get far
If you keep on sticking your hand
In the medicine jar

Dead on your feet, you won't get far
If you keep on sticking your hand
In the medicine jar

Medicine jar

Call Me Back Again

Well When I, When I Was
Just A Little Baby Boy
Every Night I Would Call
Your Number Brought Me Joy.

I Called Your House, Every Night Since Then
But I Ain't Never, No No Never
Heard You Calling Me
Come On And Call Me Back Again . . . . .

Call Me Back Again.

I've Heard Your Name Every Night Since Then
But I Ain't Never, No No Never . . . . .

Well When I, When I Was
Just A Little Baby Boy
Every Night, Every Night
I Would Call Because Your Number
Brought Me Joy

Oh - I've Called Your Name
Every Night Since Then,
But I Ain't Never, No No No No Never
Heard You Calling Me
Come On And Call Me Back Again.

Listen To What The Man Said

Any time, any day
You can hear the people say
That love is blind
Well, I don't know but I say love is kind

Do do do, do do do do do
Do do do, do do do do do

Soldier boy kisses girl
Leaves behind a tragic world
But he won't mind, he's in love
And he says love is fine

Do do do, do do do do do
Do do do, do do do do do

Oh yes, indeed we know
That people will find a way to go
No matter what the man said
And love is fine for all we know
For all we know, our love will grow
That's what the man said
So won't you listen to what the man said
He said

Ah, take it away

Oh yes, indeed we know
That people will find a way to go
No matter what the man said
And love is fine for all we know
For all we know, our love will grow
That's what the man said
So won't you listen to what the man said
He said

Oh yes, indeed we know
That people will find a way to go
No matter what the man said
And love is fine for all we know
For all we know, our love will grow
That's what the man said
So won't you listen to what the man said
He said

The wonder of it all baby
The wonder of it all baby
The wonder of it all baby, yeah yeah yeah

Treat Her Gently

Back to: Wings


Venus and Mars is the fourth studio album by the British-American rock band Wings. Released in May 1975 as the follow-up to Band on the Run, Venus and Mars continued Wings' run of commercial success and provided a springboard for a year-long worldwide tour. The album was Paul McCartney's first post-Beatles album to be released worldwide by Capitol Records rather than Apple.

After recording Band on the Run as a three-piece with wife Linda McCartney and guitarist Denny Laine, McCartney recruited guitarist Jimmy McCulloch and drummer Geoff Britton to the band in 1974. Recording sessions for the album took place in London, New Orleans and Los Angeles in November 1974 and early 1975. During the sessions, personal tensions caused Britton to quit after six months, forcing the band to recruit American drummer Joe English to finish the album.

Preceded by the single "Listen to What the Man Said", Venus and Mars peaked at number 1 in the US, the UK and other countries around the world. It also received mostly favourable reviews from music critics but was ultimately considered inferior to its predecessor. The album was reissued with bonus tracks in 1987 on CD and in 1993 as part of The Paul McCartney Collection. It was remastered in 2014 and released as a deluxe edition with bonus tracks and unreleased material.
