Subject: Billy Idol lyric question

Written By: Durania on 04/17/03 at 06:53 p.m.

My husband and I were just listening to Rebel Yell, and I realized there's a line in there that I've NEVER understood, haha!  It's part of the chorus I think, and at the end of it he says 'passed me by', I think.  Any help appreciated...I listened to it over and over just now and couldnt figure it out  :P

Here's the complete lyrics:


Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel Came pumpin cross my floor
She said "Come on baby I got a licence for love
And if it expires pray help from above"

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"
More, more, more.

She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to be me babe
What set you free I need you hear by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"

He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Well he's out all night to collect a fare
Just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair.

I walked the ward with you, babe
A thousand miles with you
I dried your tears of pain, babe
A million times for you

I'd sell my soul for you babe
For money to burn with you
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Just, just, justa, justa to have you here by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried "more, more, more"
More, more, more.

Oh yeah little baby
she want more
More, more, more, more, more.

Oh yeah little baby
she want more
More, more, more, more.

Thanks so much Fox, but I goofed!  It was 'Dancin' With Myself', not Rebel Yell.  But I found my answer...the line I didnt understand was "But their empty eyes seem to pass me by".  Geesh, some people just can't be helped!  Thanks anyways  :D
