"STICK UP FOR LOVE" er ved siden av "Ridin' In The Race" den mest rockete låten på "Hot Line". Høyt tempo og drivende gitarer anført av Svein Finjarn gjør "STICK UP FOR LOVE" til en god indikator på hvordan rock'n'roll-bandet New Jordal Swingers låt fra scenen i 1980. I likhet med Eigil Berg var også Svein som låtskriver på denne tiden inspirert av Dave Edmunds og Nick Lowe i Rockpile, noe dette sporet tydelig viser.
(Svein
Finjarn/Audun Tylden)
Her
whisky was strong
And
so were her cigarettes
And
not before long
I
was trapped in her net
It
wasn't until the door-lock snapped
I
started to feel
I
was caught in a trap
The
phone went dead
And
I muttered a curse
The
girl was ahead
And
the game was hers
She
lowered her voice
Starting
dimmin' the lights
I
had no choice
But
to stay overnight
She
soon made it clear
That
I had no retreat
She
started to steer me
Towards
her suite
I
pleaded and begged
With
meager success
The
girl had me pegged
I
was stuck in a mess
She
said
“You
can forget about your money
This
is a stick up for love
You
can forget about your money
This
is a stick up for love
Well,
I'm in need of you honey
That's
all I'm dreamin' of
This
is a stick up for love
This
is a stick up for love” |
