Cover Of Ac/Dc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's givin' you the blues
You want to graduate but not in 'is bed [...but not in his debt]
Here's what you gotta do
Pick up the phone
I'm always home
Call me any time
Just ring
I lead a life of crime
Dirty deeds done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap
You got problems in your life of love
You got a broken heart
(She's) he's double dealin' with your best friend
That's when the teardrops start, fella
Pick up the phone
I'm here alone
Or make a social call
Come right in
Forget about him
We'll have ourselves a ball
Dirty deeds done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap
If you got a lady and you want her gone
But you ain't got the guts
She keeps naggin' at you night and day
Enough to drive you nuts
Pick up the phone
Leave her alone
It's time you made a stand
For a fee
I'm happy to be
Your back door man
Dirty deeds done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap
Concrete shoes, cyanide, tnt
Done dirt cheap
Neckties, contracts, high voltage
Done dirt cheap

The song's lyrics speak about various situations where the singer offers his services to people in need of help. In the first verse, the lyric "If you're havin' trouble with your high school head" speaks about the struggles of teenagers, as the "head" refers to the mental state of a person.

The singer offers his services to extract revenge for people who have been cheated on or betrayed by their partners. He again emphasizes his availability to help by stating that one can call him or make a social call to meet with him. The third and final verse talks about how the singer is willing to help people who want to get rid of someone that is causing them problems in their lives. The singer offers to be their "back door man" for a fee. The line "Concrete shoes, cyanide, tnt, neckties, contracts, high voltage" lists some of the ways the singer can do his job.
