No Respect
I went to a club the other night.
Wanted to party, didn't want to fight.
I moved to the bar where the ladies hang out.
I was checking it out with a friendly look about.
I offered to buy a drink for this pretty little thing
She hit me with an insult that had a real sting
I took a step back to re-group and reflect
A real tough crowd ...... I can't get no respect

Now it's on to the dance floor to show some fancy moves
Hoping to catch an eye as I got into my groove
The dance floor opened up and I saw a lady grin
Then the music stopped as I was in full spin
The laughter began to grow to the point of being loud
But I was still movin' and groovin' out proud
I took a step back to re-group and reflect
A real tough crowd ..... I can't get no respect (No, No, No Respect)
(solo)
I needed a break, to get some fresh air
To keep my spirits up and not become despaired
I leaned against the wall wondering what is next
Something good happened that I didn't expect
She walked over and said hey there handsome
Is this spot being held for a pretty ransom?
I took a step back to re-group and reflect
This crowd ain't so tough..... I just got some respect (Yes, Yes, I got some respect)
(outro solo)

Loved it , great story and the music is just ACE , guitar work and solo is really really good , and fits perfectly with the music , cant remember the last time i tried to dance or went to a place the people dance in, but it brought a smile to my face after listening to the lyrics , anyway sounds like you "copped off" ( liverpool saying)

Fabulous work with the concept, and the brilliant guitar / composition

Much respect here... please send it along to your partners in crime...
If it's a Farrell post, it's great. 'nuff said!
Fantastic!

The Cuzins should definitely be a permanent fixture! Loving this one, it really rocks along and the lyrics are great fun, very clever. The lead guitar work is fab, your vocals are great as always and I really liked the piano in the background driving everything along. Beautifully mixed and produced as well, always a huge pleasure to listen to your stuff Farrell.
