Come Out Fightin — John Parish & Polly Jean Harvey

Introducing, from Brockton, Massachusetts
Heavy weight, captain of the wild, Rocky Marciano"
I was on the road to nowhere, just these six strings to my name
On the run from one more one-night stand, seekin' pleasure in the pain
Shinin' like a diamond in the sand, you made me understand
I hear you saying, over and over
Chorus:
When you know what you want, you gotta come out fightin'
Just like a ragin' bull, like a bolt of lightnin'
Like a fire brigade, with the flames ignitin'
Life is rough but it's sure excitin'
You know what you want, you gotta come out fightin'
I built walls to hide my feelin's, just another good-time boy
Never carin' what I said or done, breakin' hearts like they were toys
No, never goin' back to where I was, baby that's because
I hear you sayin', over and over, sayin' over and over
(chorus)
(Solo)
(Like the fire brigade) Burnin' down down the highway to you
(Like the fire brigade) You know it's true
(Like the fire brigade) Like a fire brigade
(Like the fire brigade)
You know what you want, you know what you need
You know what you want, you know what you need
You know what you want, you gotta come out fightin'
Just like a ragin' bull, like a bolt of lightnin'
Like a tidal wave, when the surf is rising
You wipe out but you're back there riding
You know what you want, you gotta come out fightin'
You know what you want, you gotta come out fightin'
Just like a ragin' bull, like a bolt of lightnin'
You know what you want, you gotta come out fightin'
Life is rough but it's sure excitin'
You know what you want, you gotta come out fightin'
You gotta come out fightin', you gotta come out fightin'
You know what you want, you gotta come out fightin' (repeats out)
Like a ragin' bull...
