"Tattoo" lyrics

[VAiN]

I think it's "Best believe that needle hurt you"

You sir, are correct.

[Matt White]

One more lyric that sammy could never have understood let alone written

You hit the nail on the head Les...............

I drove MILWAUKEE all day listening to TATTOO...and thinking just that......1st new ROTH/VAN HALEN song since 1984........and its better than ANY/EVERYTHING spam has ever attempted.......no "shinning stars thru your diamond ring"....no "Dreams", "Up-chuck for breakfast"......"Aboot Time"....TIME FOR WHAT???

Time for DAVE to erase all that BULLSHIT!

[hain23x]

Great lyrics. I swear I was crying like the little bitch that I am the first time I got to crank it in the car the first time! LOL

Mousewife to Momshell in the time it took to get that new tattoo, tattoo-tattoo

[Antman]

Mousewife makes sense. She is a timid housewife/mom w potential. She gets a tat and now you see and think of her differently. Now you notice she's hot cause she got some ink. And she's a mom. Hence momshell. Only dave.

Isn't "mousewife" a term for a stay at home mom who spends her time surfing the net, Facebooking, Farmvilling, Tweeting, etc...? "Momshell" is equal to a MILF (mom bombshell). Maybe I'm off here?

Awesome Lyrics!!

[fifth element]

Lovin' the new song and feel that it is a promise of what is to come!

[binnie]

An excellent interpretation.

I think there's an element of truth in that GA.

[fryingdutchman]

I'm gonna get in trouble at work....I can't stop playing it while sitting at my desk.

[houseofpain]

its about perceptions, real and false also. Best to see these true colors that follow whatever your false virtue...she perceives she's going from a housewife to bombshell with new ink, but reality is she's only going from a mousewife to a momshell...she's not a bombshell and the ink didn't change that, even though she perceived it would.

[Fairwrning]

Hated it first time through..grows on ya tho..only real complaint( its NEW..DONT BITCH)....need more Wolf and less synth fill..

Those lines about the union in the lyrics really warmed my heart. I'm a firm believer and supporter of worker's unions and rights, and hearing Dave sing about them on a positive manner really connected with me. This is the kind of lyrical content you wouldn't get with that asshole Hagar penning the lyrics. With Hagar you got this kind of shit:


Yeah! Feelin', no I don't like what I been told
I'm feelin'
And I'm bleedin', like no one else will ever know
I'm bleedin'
Whoa! Dealin', I'm dealin' with these things
I'm feelin'
Oh, I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin' things that show me
What I'm seein'
Yeah! Seein', I'm seein' things that don't know
What I'm feelin', yeah
Lord, I've been feelin', I'm feelin', I'm feelin' things that
I don't, I don't know, I don't know!
Lord, what I'm seein'

Yeah!
Yeah, yeah yeah

Hey, I don't understand

Now, I'm a stupid norwegian but even I write better lyrics than that!!

"Tattoo" has been all over the radio here on Long Island today. Dj's are asking for listener feedback and everyone is diggin' it. Even better, it's two for Tuesday so every station that's playing Tattoo is following it up with CVH. This may be the best random Tuesday in January in my 38 years on the planet.
