[Intro: Pete Shelley]
1, 2, 3

[Chorus 1: Howard Devoto]
My mad love battery, uh, wants to charge you
My mad love battery, uh, maybe enlarge you
My mad love battery's a-fizzing at the terminal
My mad love battery's one hell of a pack of an animal
My mad love battery has to have us both
My mad love battery, don't allow for sleep or sloth
My mad love battery, it a-never minces words
Don't discharge flattery, so don't listen to what you've heard
Ya know?

[Verse 1: Devoto]
I got sick electricity, uh, on the boil for you, uh
I got this searing love, uh, that burns without cue, uh
Without cue, uh, without cue, without cue
Without cue, without cue, uh

[Chorus 2: Devoto]
My mad love battery, uh, running out of control
My mad love battery's, uh, gonna swallow you whole
My mad love battery never minces words
Don't discharge flattery, so don't listen to what you've heard
Ya know?
[Verse 2: Devoto]
I got this crazy current that slips through my underwear
And when it really connects, I come and go everywhere
Everywhere, I come and go, come and go
Come and go everywhere

[Chorus 3: Devoto]
My mad love battery's, uh, wanting to charge you
My mad love battery's, uh, maybe gonna enlarge you
My mad love battery's, uh, fizzing at the terminal
My mad love battery's one hell of a pack of animal
