The Kid With the Replaceable Head by Richard Hell and the Voidoids Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, too young to drink and too smart to think
Attaches on his head with the missing link
He's skinny as a snake and fast as a mink
But he ain't for sale unless you add the kitchen sink
[Chorus]
Well look out, here he comes again
(Look out!) They say he's dead, he's my three best friends
(Look out!) He's so honest that the dishonest dread
Meeting the kid with the replaceable head
[Guitar Solo]
Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum
[Verse 2]
When you live on a planet the size of a town
You can't get your kicks by getting around
Yeah, fun's hard to find on such familiar ground
So you invent it: the mental, it's better than found
[Chorus]
Well look out, here he comes again
(Look out!) They say he's dead, he's my three best friends
(Look out!) He's so honest that the dishonest dread
Meeting the kid with the replaceable head
Yow!
[Guitar Solo]
Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum
[Verse 3]
He used to beat himself up 'til he was sick and confused
Dead tired and throbbing, half crazy and bruised
'Til he'd be too worn out to keep being himself
Now he can pick 'em at will from the heads on his shelf
[Chorus]
Well look out, here he comes again
(Look out!) They say he's dead, he's my three best friends
(Look out!) He's so honest that the dishonest dread
Meeting the kid with the replaceable head
Well, too young to drink and too smart to think
Attaches on his head with the missing link
He's skinny as a snake and fast as a mink
But he ain't for sale unless you add the kitchen sink
[Chorus]
Well look out, here he comes again
(Look out!) They say he's dead, he's my three best friends
(Look out!) He's so honest that the dishonest dread
Meeting the kid with the replaceable head
[Guitar Solo]
Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum
[Verse 2]
When you live on a planet the size of a town
You can't get your kicks by getting around
Yeah, fun's hard to find on such familiar ground
So you invent it: the mental, it's better than found
[Chorus]
Well look out, here he comes again
(Look out!) They say he's dead, he's my three best friends
(Look out!) He's so honest that the dishonest dread
Meeting the kid with the replaceable head
Yow!

(Look out!) They say he's dead, he's my three best friends
(Look out!) He's so honest that the dishonest dread
