Dirty Needlez
Tigertailz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't take anymore
She'z just a barbed wire b-b-baby
With a broken glass heart
Sweet little flower
Turnz sour
When the action startz
Ooh she'z gonna get her fill
Undercover lover
With a license to kill
(She won't think twince)
Bridge:
Something ain't right
Behind her eyez
I know what
She wantz tonight
Chorus:
This isn't love
This ain't a romance
This ain't love, this is sick sex
This ain't the kinda
Love I need tonight
Oh baby this ain't right
Foul mouthed little lady
With a dirty, dirty mind
Take you to the
End of the line
And leave you behind
She'll make you crazy
Get you falling apart
Tell you that it'z love and laugh
When she breakz your heart
(She aint so nice)
Bridge:
Something ain't right
Behind her eyez
All this time
Telling me liez
I know what
She'z got in mind
I know what
She wantz to night
In Tigertailz's song "Dirty Needlez," the lyrics depict a dangerous and toxic relationship with a woman who is described as a "barbed wire b-b-baby with a broken glass heart." The song portrays the woman as a "greedy man-eater" with a "dirty mind" who is only interested in sex and has the power to break men's hearts. Despite the warning signs and the knowledge that she is not capable of true love, the singer cannot resist her and is trapped in the cycle of their dysfunctional relationship. The chorus emphasizes the idea that this is not love but rather "sick sex" and a dangerous obsession that will ultimately lead to destruction.
The use of imagery in the lyrics is powerful, such as the comparison of the woman to barbed wire and broken glass, which suggests that getting too close to her will result in pain and injury. The chorus reinforces the message that this is not a healthy or sustainable relationship and that the singer needs to break free. However, the allure of the woman's seduction and the adrenaline of the danger keep the singer trapped in the cycle of their relationship.
The lyrics of "Dirty Needlez" represent a common theme in rock music of the danger of love and the seduction of danger. The song also critiques the notion of romance that only focuses on sex and disregards emotional attachment. The use of strong, vivid imagery and metaphors creates a memorable and impactful message about the brokenness of toxic relationships.

Great song. The video was filmed just down the road from where I used to live, with my old drum instructor playing the drums.

@19emmi94

@Rockpodoboo
The video is from the original release Wazbones, but the audio here is the re-recorded version "Dirty Needlez" from Berzerk 2.0 (2006)
@trobinson9342
+Rockpodoboo Actually this is the original recorded version.
@DNOMYTE
That lead guitarist looks a lot like Jay but I thought they changed their lineup in the Wazbones era because that's not Ace playing drums it's Andy, but is that Cy on guitar?
