Lita Ford


A little something about Lita Ford
One of two solo stars to spring from the ashes of the '70s all-girl hard rock band the Runaways, Lita Ford has long been a more frustrating, contradictory proposition for critics than former colleague Joan Jett. Ford is subtly feminist in her musical approach, displaying guitar heroics on the level of any male metal hero; the mere fact of her existence in the otherwise testosterone-driven heavy metal genre has made her a hero to some, but her persona has often been criticized as calculated to appeal to male adolescent sexual fantasies, simply embodying the standard wild-girl stereotypes of many male metal artists' lyrics. When she has the material to back her up, though, Ford is inarguably capable of rocking out aggressively and assertively.

Lyrics featured below: "Close My Eyes Forever". (Featuring Ozzy Osbourne), and "Kiss Me Deadly"

Close my eyes forever

Baby
I get so scared inside, and I don't really understand
Is it love that's on my mind, or is it fantasy
Heaven
Is in the palm of my hand, and it's waiting here for you
What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy

(Chorus)
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same...

Sometimes
It's hard to hold on
So hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn't always what is seems
When you're face to face with me

You're like a dagger
And stick me in the heart
And taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep, would you shelter me
In your warm and darkened grave

(Chorus Repeat)

Will you ever take me
No, I just can't take the pain
But would you ever trust me
No, I'll never feel the same...Ohh...

I know I've been so hard to you
I know I've told you lies
If I could have just one more wish
I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes

(Chorus Repeat)

Close your eyes
Close your eyes
You gotta close your eyes for me

Kiss me deadly

Went to a party last saturday night
didn't get laid i got in a fight uh-huh
it ain't no big thing
Late for my job and the traffic was bad
had to borrow 10 bucks from my old man uh-huh
it ain't no big thing

but I know what I like
I know I like dancing with you
and I know what you like
I know you like dancing with me oh yeah

CHORUS:
kiss me once
kiss me twice
come on pretty baby kiss me deadly

Had a few beers getting high
sitting watching the time go by uh_huh
it ain't no big thing
Nothing to eat and no t.v.
looking in the mirror don't get it for me uh-huh
it ain't no big thing

but I know what I like
I know I like dancing with you
and I know what you like
I know you like dancing with me oh yeah

CHORUS
CHORUS
you know i like dancing with you
dancing with you; come on
CHORUS
kiss me once kiss me twice
come on pretty baby kiss me
come on pretty baby kiss me
come on pretty baby kiss me deadly
