lyrics

Ambulances, pills, pleasure, fame
I'm a rock star, I'm a Deathwish
Rock n Roll's a Deathwish
Deal with your devil
Kiss your fate
Don't be an epitaph fake
I've been there, I know
She's not dead, he's not dead, but her husband flew
Kurt Cobain, Malcolm McLaren (he used to pick up the phone to me), Duggie Fields, it's just unrest, baby, it's cruelty

Robert Johnson, whiskey strychnine
Hank Williams, morphine
Johnny Ace, guns not loaded, see
Joe Meek & the landlady
Richie Valens, Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, Lynyrd Skynyrd on a plane
Tammi Terrell, Sam Cooke, beaten, y'want more
Brian Epstein, carbitral, Gene Vincent, ulcer fail, Lil Willy John, he stabbed a guy in prison
Brian Jones, butterflies, Janis Joplin, heroin supplies, Jimi Hendrix, wine, Jim Morrison, water
John Bonham, ham roll, Bob Marley, melanoma, Johnny Thunders methadone leukaemia
Karen Carpenter, anorexia nervosa

What was it, what killed them?
Jock Scot
What killed them?

Nick Drake, anti-depressants, Gram Parsons, Joshua Tree suppository
Cass Elliot, Keith Moon, Sebastian Horsley

John Lennon, gun, Scott La Rock, gun, Biggie Tupac gun gun gun
Mark Bolan, wrapped around a tree
Jeff Buckley, he walked into the Mississippi

Amy Winehouse, pap pap pap, Whitney Houston, crack crack crack

Rock n roll's a Deathwish, baby
Rock n roll's a Deathwish
Rock n roll's a Deathwish, baby
Rock n roll's a Deathwish

Nico, she was happy to be alive
Sid Vicious, heroin by his own mother

What about all the others, uh?
Warhol, Mapplethorpe, Levan, Elvis Presley, Sandy Denny
WHEN ARE YOU COMING FOR ME?

Amy Winehouse, pap pap pap, Whitney Houston, crack crack crack

In 1900, Oscar Wilde he died age 47 in Paris, of destitution
Bonnie & Clyde, 23 & 25
Virginia Woolfe was 59 when she walked into the Thames in 1941
Sylvia Plath put her head in the oven, aged 30 in 1963

Amy Winehouse, pap pap pap, Whitney Houston, crack crack crack
