Mott The Hoople Lyrics of the Shouting And Pointing track

Theres trouble coming

I feel it deep in my bones

I cant avoid it, no way,

Gotta face it, not gonna be long

Its got me shouting, pointing,

Panting, begging tonight

I need some people

To see me through it

Loving me right



Gonna pull some tarts together

Better dress them up in leather

Gonna find some kindred spirits

Gonna throw the searchlight in it

Want some volunteers!



You do and you do and you do

Get in to trouble

And maybe you do and you do and you do

Get in to luck

cos Ive been shouting, pointing, panting

And when its done

Were gonna walk out smiling, laughing

Because we won!



Gonna pull... (etc)



Watch out, theyll get ya

Theyre hiding under your nose

Theyll try to dare you, scare you, snare you

Stand on your toes

cos theyll be shouting, pointing, panting

And when its done

Were gonna settle down a-loving, and a-howling

Because we won



Gonna pull... (etc)
