The Sweet's, "Rebel Rouser"
Misheard Lyrics:
Inside out gonna burn tonight
'Cause the heat is on and the time is right
Who is the face that's gonna set the pace?
What a rocker, what a roller, I'm in outer space
Come on, come on, will you come on strong
With my knees all weak from your lightning streak
Like a Sunday flash, supersonic crash
The Episcopal Priest knock ya head over heels
All right, all right, all right, all right
Rebel rouser, rabble rouser
High speed king, worship everything
But the rebel rouser, rabble rouser
Juvenile child
...
He's got deep green eyes that can hypnotise
Crazy sky high lies temper a disguise
...
I'm a supersonic razor laser from the sky ...
'Cause the heat is on and the time is right
Who is the face that's gonna set the pace?
What a rocker, what a roller, I'm in outer space
Come on, come on, will you come on strong
With my knees all weak from your lightning streak
Like a Sunday flash, supersonic crash
The Episcopal Priest knock ya head over heels
All right, all right, all right, all right
Rebel rouser, rabble rouser
High speed king, worship everything
But the rebel rouser, rabble rouser
Juvenile child
...
He's got deep green eyes that can hypnotise
Crazy sky high lies temper a disguise
...
I'm a supersonic razor laser from the sky ...
Original Lyrics:
Inside out gonna burn tonight
'Cause the heat is on and the time is right
Who is the face that's gonna set the pace?
Oh I'm a rocker, I'm a roller, I'm outer space!
Oh come on, come on, well you come on strong
With my knees all weak from your lightning streak
Like a thunder flash, supersonic crash
He appears, you'll freeze
Knock ya head over heels
All right, all right, all right, all right
Rebel rouser, rebel rouser
High speed king, worship everything
'Bout the rebel rouser, rabble rouser
Juvenile drive
...
He's got u.v. eyes that can hypnotise
And his sky high lies infra-red disguise
...
I'm a supersonic racer laser from the sky
'Cause the heat is on and the time is right
Who is the face that's gonna set the pace?
Oh I'm a rocker, I'm a roller, I'm outer space!
Oh come on, come on, well you come on strong
With my knees all weak from your lightning streak
Like a thunder flash, supersonic crash
He appears, you'll freeze
Knock ya head over heels
All right, all right, all right, all right
Rebel rouser, rebel rouser
High speed king, worship everything
'Bout the rebel rouser, rabble rouser
Juvenile drive
...
He's got u.v. eyes that can hypnotise
And his sky high lies infra-red disguise
...
I'm a supersonic racer laser from the sky
I'd like to thank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzJJU-yGkEk that features Steve Priest's vocals alone (he in fact carries the song) that allowed me to transcribe correct lyrics for the first time (unlike other sites), although it does sound like he sings 'knees all weep' rather than 'knees all weak'. Maybe from kneeling in awe of the Rebel Rouser, lol.
