Slade
Nuts Bolts and Screws
Roll it on, roll it on

No, funny-farm ain't no home, Joey's sittin' there on his own
Sittin' there a-missin', missin' all the kissin'
Wishin' that he wasn't alone

I heard it on the news, I heard it on the news
Nut bolts and screws, I heard it on the news
I heard it on the news, I heard it on the news
Nut bolts and screws, I heard it on the news

All of the cuckoos at rest, one flies away from the nest
Finds himself a cutie, a root-tootin' beauty
She make the hair stand up on his chest

I heard it on the news, I heard it on the news
Nut bolts and screws, I heard it on the news
I heard it on the news, I heard it on the news
Nut bolts and screws, I heard it on the news

All he needed was a little bit of company
Just to help to take away some of the misery
All he wanted was a little bit of ecstasy
And he's sure they're right behind him, they're surely gonna find him alone

Joey got a shot in the arm, and now he's sleeping back at the farm
Still knows he can do it, I guess he always knew it
He never done nobody no harm
I heard it on the news, I heard it on the news
Nut bolts and screws, I heard it on the news
I heard it on the news, I heard it on the news
Nut bolts and screws, I heard it on the news

I heard it on the news, I heard it on the news
Nut bolts and screws
Nut bolts and screws
Extra, extra, read all about it
