Your Mamma Won't Like Me
Suzi Quatro
℗ 1975 RAK Records SRAK 514
Третий студийный альбом Сьюзи Кватро. К 1975 году Сьюзи уже является признанной певицей с международным именем и репутацией "примадонны хард-рока". Ей удалось в полной мере доказать, что миниатюрная и хрупкая девушка может быть не только хорошей певицей и устраивать яркие сценические шоу, но и успешно справляться с ролью бас-гитаристки, пусть не такой сильной и изощрённой, как, например, Джон Пол Джонс или Крис Скуайер, но вполне достойно работающей в рамках своего стиля. В качестве бонусов добавлены две песни в дуэте с Крисом Норманом 1978 года. The divine Miss Q's third album is, unfortunately, the least divine of them all, an album that finds her in catatonic chrysalis stage, midway through the reinvention that turned the early '70s' most convincing rocker chick into the later decade's homespun sweetheart. Maybe she was, as the song says, "A Prisoner of Your Imagination" — or, at least, of her own former image, which was much the same thing. But there were surely better ways of unlocking the cage than this. Both "Your Mama Won't Like Me" and "I Bit off More Than I Can Chew," spun off as singles during 1975, offer little more than watered-down power balladry, still playing on Quatro's bad-girl image but determined that no one would take it seriously any longer. Neither is the absence of any of the stripped-down '50s covers, which had previously given her an excuse to blast out, remedied by a lukewarm "Fever." Thankfully, this diversion into mediocrity was swiftly remedied by her next couple of albums, and time has repaired any damage that they failed to address. But still, the album's title demands just one rejoinder. Of course your mama won't like her — she's not stupid. — Dave Thompson. |

I Bit Off More Than I Could Chew
(Chapman — Chinn)
Turn down the bedroom lights and warm my soul Let all your inhibitions go We'll reach the kind of heights we've never known Laid back and easy Take it slow slow slow But wait, are your intentions what I think they are Unless you've sold it won't you hand me back the keys to my car Well I guess I never knew I bit off more than I could chew When you handed me that offer, I shoulda said no to you Oh mamma mamma mamma Well I guess you always knew That I bit off I bit off I bit off I bit off more than I could chew Ooh come closer baby Let your soul relax, we're old enough to face the facts Get off the rails, and let your train get on my tracks But wait a minute, is that the way you always act I've met your kind before, I know I know your game You didn't even take the time to ask my name Well I guess I never knew I bit off more than I could chew When you handed me that offer, I shoulda said no to you Oh Oh Oh mamma mamma mamma Well I guess I never knew That I bit off I bit off I bit off I bit off more than I could chew Well I guess I never knew I bit off more than I could chew When you handed me that offer, I shoulda said no to you Oh mamma mamma mamma Well I guess you always knew That I bit off I bit off I bit off I bit off more than I could chew Well I bit off I bit off I bit off I bit off more than I could chew Well I bit off I bit off I bit off I bit off more than I could chew Well I bit off I bit off I bit off I bit off more than I could chew Well I bit off I bit off I bit off I bit off more than I could chew Well I bit off I bit off I bit off I bit off more than I could chew Well I bit off I bit off I bit off I bit off more than I could chew Well I bit off I bit off I bit off I bit off more than I could chew Well I bit off I bit off I bit off I bit off more than I could chew Well I bit off I bit off I bit off I bit off more than I could chew
Strip Me
(Chapman - Chinn)
You might have thought I acted strange when you gave me... Diamonds .. Rubies .. Minks .. And pearls You might have thought I was insane when I turned down ... Money, honey I ain't that kind of girl Your cadillac is filled with roses in the back You got a feelin' I won't love you if I ever Give 'em back Some things you give me never see the light of day So I'll thank you baby, thank you if you'd take them all away So .... STRIP ME! Of all you gave me STRIP ME! Baby Baby Baby Baby STRIP ME! Yeah only you can save me And I'll keep on loving you 'til the day I die You introduce me to all your friends as the girl most likely to be ... Wined and dined I ain't amusing I refuse to be used like money, honey I ain't that way inclined My brand new window has view of the park But what's the point of buying it if I can't see it in the dark You made me realise why you invested in that car But I'd rather have you stay at home and have you just the way are STRIP ME!
