Lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life

Here comes Johnny in again
With liquor and drugs
And a flash machine
He's gonna do another strip tease
Ah, hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?
I've been hurting since I bought the gimmick
About something called love
Yeah, something called love
Well, that's like hypnotising chickens
I'm just a modern guy
Huh, of course, I've had it in the ear before

I have a lust for life
Cause I've a lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
Lust for life
Lust for life

I'm worth a million in prizes
With my torture film
Drive a GTO
I wear a uniform
On a government loan
I'm worth a million in prizes
Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk
No more beating my brains
No more beating my brains
With liquor and drugs
With liquor and drugs
Ooh, I'm just a modern guy
Huh, of course, I've had it in the ear before

And I've a lust for life (lust for life)
Cause I've a lust for life (lust for life)
A lust for life (ooh)
A lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
I got a lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
Ah a lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
Lust for life
Lust for life

I'm just a modern guy
Huh, of course, I've had it in the ear before

And I've a lust for life (lust for life)
Cause I've a lust for life (lust for life)
A lust for life (ooh)
Lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
Lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
I got a lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
I got a lust for life
A lust for life

Tom Jones

With a career spanning over fifty years, Tom Jones is one of the mainstays of modern music. Born in 1940 in Glamorgan, South Wales, Jones rocketed to international fame after the massive success of his second single “It’s Not Unusual” in 1964. Since that time, Jones has had two series of television variety shows, recorded over forty studio albums, and been a staple act in Las Vegas. He’s famous for wearing half-open shirts and tight pants at the shows, and for receiving a hailstorm of women’s hotel room keys. Over the years, he has reinvented himself as a pop singer, a crooner, a country music singer, and a gospel-blues singer, and has had hit funk and hip-hop songs.
