Mi chiedo: "Se Juliette non fosse la Lewis di Strange Days e Assassini Nati, chi avrebbe speso un centesimo a produrre questi Licks?" Nessuno, immagino. Chissà quanti leccatori sparsi per il mondo sarebbero pronti a slinguare il posteriore ad una/o star del cinema con un minimo d'ugola, pur di sfondare nello showbiz. Fortunati! Ma anche bravi, onesti e passionali.
La loro passione è l'Hard Rock, un genere che ha detto ormai tutto o quasi e al quale i nostri non aggiungono nulla. Un passo comunque in avanti rispetto al precedente "You're Speaking My Language" lo muovono. "Four On The Floor" appare più omogeneo, soprattutto nella scrittura, rimanendo sempre fedele allo spirito on the road che caratterizza il loro rock tutto riff e assoli. Se a questo aggiungi la voce sguaiata e le movenze da consumata front-women della Lewis, il risultato è una piacevole scarica d'energia della durata poco superiore alla mezz'ora, giusto per non stancarci troppo.
L'album parte tiratissimo con "Smash and Grab", che mette subito in chiaro le cose, prosegue col tormentone "Hot Kiss" (il primo singolo) senza dare il tempo di riprendere fiato, mentre "Sticky Money" (il secondo singolo) col suo riff ruffiano ti acchiappa per il collo? e così via senza cambi nè pause di ritmo.
Niente di nuovo e niente di male, solo un consapevole, genuino ed un pò grossolano omaggio ad un'epoca passata, quella degli Stones, degli Stooges, degli AC/DC e via discorrendo. Una band inventata ad hoc per spettacoli dal vivo sudoriferi e sboroni.

01 Smash and Grab (02:47)
Smash and grab I stole your heart
Burnin rubber baby right from the start
I’m on another bender, breakin at the knees
Don’t ask for mercy ‘til you learn how to please
A high plaine’s drifter, here comes the sun
Oh my god put down your gun
Look for my shoes, I turn on the light
Come on baby let’s fight fight fight yeah
Yeah, we’re gonna rock it, rock it tonight
Pressure’s running high
Jumpin over barracades
Oh my god I’m in a hot pursuit
Cops on the chase
Broken bones and suckin face
Lookin for you I’m in a hot pursuit
I’m all in love with love again
You said it honey no time to spend
Living on the road I don’t need know sleep
Lookin for a dude who packs some heat
Pretty police lights glowing red
Like the blood in your face when I tore up your bed
Hey hey we gonna rock it, rock it tonight
Pressure’s running high
Jumpin over barracades
Oh my god I’m in a hot pursuit
Cops on the chase
Broken bones and suckin face
Lookin for you I’m in a hot pursuit
Picking up on speed giving in to need
No time to lose were in a hot pursuit
Pumpin piston steel
Muscle rippin up my feel
Get it in quick were in a hot pursuit
Get low low low
Were gonna keep it low low
Low in my four on the floor
Hey, yeah we gonna rock it, rock it tonight
Pressure’s running high
Jumpin over barracades
Oh my god I’m in a hot pursuit
Cops on the chase
Broken bones and suckin face
Lookin for you I’m in a hot pursuit
Picking up on speed giving in to need
No time to lose were in a hot pursuit
Pumpin piston steel
Muscle rippin up my feel
Get it in quick were in a hot pursuit
02 Hot Kiss (02:44)
Hot Kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
My Love, you got me spinning like a wound-up toy
Hot Kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
My Love, you got me spinning like a wound-up toy
Oh, father! I pray to thee!
I gotta man so blind I can't see
I'm his favourite toy
Like a beach ball
Play me up and down
and throw me 'gainst the wall
"Oh, Tallulah", he said
"You're so dramatic
"What's all that shakin' goin' on in your attic?"
Hot Kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
Hey Love, you got me spinning like a wound-up toy
Hot Kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
Hey Love, you got me spinning like a wound-up toy
You can't knock it, or rock it, or be-bop it
It's a itch you can't scratch
Nothing's gonna stop it
I'm a cheater, so reminisce
Waitin' on my man and his one hot kiss
I'm on the prowl, sent my thunder
Hour after hour, break this spell I'm under
Hot Kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
Hey Love, you got me spinning like a wound-up toy
Hot Kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
Hey Love, you got me spinning like a wound-up toy
All my life
I've searched for you
All my life...
All my life
I was searching for you
Spinnin' round the room
I can't sleep
Oh, you're little girl wants to fffffff...!
Hot Kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
Hey Love, you got me spinning like a wound-up toy
Hot Kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
Hey Love, you got me spinning like a wound-up toy
Hot hot hot love...
03 Sticky Honey (02:21)
Money money money money
Sticky sticky sticky honey
Man lands on mars
Man rips off his broken parts
And your gone and your gone
Now you wanna get it on
And you won't and you won't
Why you wanna do me wrong
Woman woman woman woman
You gotta let go your swollen tounge
Pleading pleading pleading with a man
Gave him birth to Aphrodite's son
And your gone and your gone
Now you wanna get it on
And you won't and you won't
Why you wanna do me wrong
When your gone when your gone
Why you wanna get it on
And you won't no you won't
Why you wanna do me wrong
You got the best damn blues that I've ever seen
And I'm swimming like a shooting star across the galaxy
You got the best damn blues
And your gone and your gone
Now you wanna get it on
And you won't and you won't
Why you wanna do me wrong
When your gone when your gone
Oh you wanna get it on
04 Killer (02:18)
I always knew you were a killer
I could tell by your hooded eyes
You got the ladies in waiting lighting up like fire flies
I always knew you were a killer
I could tell by your bloody guitar
You like to stab it into everything
Then pull it out when it gets too hard
Ha ha ha ha ha ha mr. fun
Oh, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang it up
Oh, hee hee hee hee hee hee here she comes
Oh, get get get get get get get it and run
I watch you walk around the lake like a cool breeze on the take
Give in to me give in to me
Red finger nails wrapped around your neck
Innocence locked up like a train wreck
You got your 17 reasons for pleasure seeking
Don't give them to me
Chompin on pussy like chewing gum
Just another way you eat your young
She's calling for you while you coming for me
C c c c come for me
Ha ha ha ha ha ha mr. fun
Oh, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang it up
Oh, hee hee hee hee hee hee here she comes
Oh, get get get get get get get it and run
Ha ha ha ha ha ha mr. fun
Oh, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang it up
Oh, hee hee hee hee hee hee here she comes
Oh, get get get get get get get it and run
Ah ha you're so fun mr. fun
I like to watch you work
What's that dripping from your tounge
05 Death of a Whore (03:55)
I feel dirty and cheap like I'm built from the street
Fresh blood and dead meat another child's been beat
Yesterday is always too far away
And all my tomorrows won't save me today
High heels clippin like clattering cans
You'll find the mark in the shadow of a man
I've been wronged by my wrongs again, oh lord
All my life has come and gone disapeared my mind
And I can't right my wrongs
I felt like nothing was real all tattered and blue like a gutted sheep
And oh I'm having visions again
Hawk eyes stare down a vacent hall
Down on your knees head blind to the call
One two oh surprise there's four
Locked in a room I ran for the door
Come on bitch or should I call you a whore
Knocked to the floor my head opened and poured
I been raped and battered and stuffed like a dog
A ravaged animal, a slaughtered hog
Black turns to white am I talking to god
All my life has come and gone disapeared my mind
And I can't right my wrongs
I felt like nothing was real all tattered and blue like a gutted sheep
And oh I'm having visions again
F**k f**k f**k f**k you and f**k you and f**k you some more
F**k you and f**k you and f**k you some more
F**k you and f**k you and f**k you some more
F**k you and f**k you and f**k you some more
F**k you and f**k you and f**k you some more
F**k you, f**k you, f**k you, f**k you, f**k you, f**k you, f**k you some more
Hush hush little girl don't you cry
Oh my god wash from me please
09 Bullshit King (03:21)
He's a bullshit king and he dwells in his cave
He'll tell you pretty things just to make you behave
He knows the tricks of his trade
He's got all his toys on parade
You better watch what you do
You better watch what you say
He'll be coming for you and take you so far away
You better watch what you do
You better watch what you say
He'll be coming for you and take you so far away
He's convered in dandelions just to show you he's sensitive
Rattling the snake of the devine and everything you thought to believe in
Spinning yarn and lace up and down the cracks of your face
You better watch what you do
You better watch what you say
He'll be coming for you and take you so far away
You better watch what you do
You better watch what you say
He'll be coming for you and take you so far away
Watch what you say, watch what you say, watch what you say
That's right give me something to believe in
This is the beginning, this is the beginning for you and me
Oh he's a bullshit king don't you know what I mean
He's a bullshit king you know what I mean
You better watch what you do
You better watch what you say
He'll be coming for you and take you so far away
You better watch what you do
You better watch what you say
He'll be coming for you and take you so far away
You better watch what you do
Watch what you say
He'll be coming for you and take you so far away
Watch what you do
Watch what you say
He'll be coming for you and take you so far away
Watch what you say, watch what you say
He's a bullshit king
Baby, I just wanna tell you I love you, you mean everything to me
10 Inside the Cage (03:59)
It was a thousand pound weight
Moon down on the sun
I lost you sleeping
Took off with my fun
You'll find the door on the other side, other side
I'll waste, I'll waste, I'll waste inside the cage
I'll waste, I'll waste, I'll waste inside
You crawl like tipped wine
Cheap tricks, dirty calls
Watching paint dry is good for the walls
Its good for the walls
Silence is deep never what you'd think
I'll waste, I'll waste, I'll waste inside the cage
I'll waste, I'll waste, I'll waste inside the cage
I'll waste, I'll waste, I'll waste inside the cage
I'll waste, I'll waste, I'll waste inside
Pressure is building up
It was the great escape
Foiled guards left in wait
I changed, I came undone
Inside the cell I won
I'll waste, I'll waste, I'll waste inside the cage
I'll waste, I'll waste, I'll waste inside the cage
I'll waste, I'll waste, I'll waste inside the cage
