Hotter Than Hell

Kiss

℗ 1974 Casablanca Records NBLP 7006

Kiss • 1974 • Hotter Than Hell

Although Kiss' self-titled debut performed respectably on the charts, it was not the blockbuster they had hoped for. With the album fading on the charts in the summer of 1974, Kiss was summoned back into the studio to work on a follow-up. Producers Richie Wise and Kenny Kerner were on board again, and even though the sonics are muddier (and more filler is present composition-wise), Hotter Than Hell is another quintessential Kiss release. Many of the songs have been forgotten over the years (few are featured in concert anymore), but there are still more than a few gems to be found. It's unclear if the members of Kiss were having problems with their personal relationships at the time, but it's a common thread that runs through the songs. The plodding "Got to Choose" and the rapid-fire "Parasite" deal with love gone bad; the title track is about unobtainable love, while "Goin' Blind" is a disturbing tale of a 93-year-old having an affair with a 16-year-old. Also included are the early favorites "Let Me Go Rock n' Roll" and "Watchin' You," as well as the original electric version of "Comin' Home" (an acoustic version was the opener of 1996's Unplugged) and "Strange Ways," which contains one of Ace Frehley's best guitar solos. Even though Hotter Than Hell actually fared worse on the charts than the debut, it has become a revered album among Kiss fans over the years — and rightfully so. — Greg Prato.

Got to Choose

Baby, you know I heard the neighbors say
Baby, you might be leavin' me today
Oh yeah, mmm, someone's come along and shared your time
Don't care, no I don't, no
But you can't be his and still be mine, so

Ooh, got to choose who's your baby
Ooh, got to choose

Sometimes, oh sometimes, I know you need a change of pace
Oh yeah, but I ain't gonna run no race
Baby, you've got to tell me yes or no
Alright, alright, come on and tell me
Tell me if you're gonna go, come on

Ooh, got to choose who's your baby
Ooh, got to choose who's your baby

Ooh, got to choose who's your baby
Ooh, got to choose, got to choose

Who's your baby, who's your baby
Who's your baby, who's your baby

Parasite

She'll always be there trying to grab a hold
She thought she knew me, but she didn't know
That I was sad and wanted her to go

Parasite lady
Parasite eyes
Parasite lady
No need to cry

I didn't wanna have to get away
I told her things I didn't want to say
I need her and I hope she'll understand

Parasite lady
Parasite eyes
Parasite lady
No need to cry

Goin' Blind

And I know how it should be
There is nothing more for you and I
Some are young and some are free
But I think I'm goin' blind

'Cause, I think I'm goin' blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah

Little lady, can't you see
You're so young and so much different than I
I'm 93, you're sixteen
Can't you see I'm goin' blind

'Cause, I think I'm goin' blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah

'Cause, I think I'm goin' blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah

You're much younger, can't you see
There is nothing more for you and I
I'm 93, you're sixteen
And I think I'm goin' blind

Yes, I think I'm goin' blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah

Hotter Than Hell

Come on
She looked good
She looked hotter than hell
All dressed in satins and lace
I looked at her and it was just too clear
I had to get on the case

I said "Lady, oh lady, can I take you home
There's just so much we could do
I'll take you all around the whole wide world
Before the evening is through"

Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
Burn you like the midday sun

I asked her why she couldn't make up her mind
She said "You don't understand
I'd love to go, but there's something you should know"
She showed me her wedding band

Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
She'll burn you like the midday sun

Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
She'll burn you like the midday sun

You've got a lot to say
Every night and every sunny day
It's the same thing you've been sayin' to me
Every day

You say it's within your heart
You keep repeatin' that we'll never part
I'm so finally glad to hear you stop
For a day

You just keep talkin' louder
Complain to your mother and father
One of these days you'll push me all the way

You're wearin' clothes that fit you well
Baby, baby, you're not hard to sell
I'll tell you what you want to hear
For a day

So if you think you need advice
Just come to me, don't compromise
Baby, baby you're hypnotized
Every day

And you just keep talkin' louder
Complain to your mother and father
One of these days you'll push me all the way

Comin' Home

It's been a month or two since I was sleepin' with you
I'm comin' home again
I've been to east and west, but baby I like best
The road that leads to you

Oh girl, it seems the whole wide world seems to say
Hotels that all look the same
Just seem to drive me insane
But I can't get away
Until I receive a call that tells me that will be all
And then I hop a plane

It's true, I'm not sure if you knew
I'm comin' home to you

Oh girl, it seems the whole wide world seems to say
Hotels that all look the same
Just seem to drive me insane
But I can't get away
Until I receive a call that tells me that will be all
And then I hop a plane

It's true, I'm not sure if you knew
I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home, baby

Strange Ways

Well, it's a strange way
The way you look at me
And it's a hard time
Time you been givin' me
Come on and open up
Open up to me
So you can realize
That I could set you free

Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days

Well, it's a strange place
That you've been livin' in
And it's a strange line
You've been deliverin'
I think I like it
But I'm not really sure
Don't wanna to fight it
Just wanna feel some more

Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days

Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days
