Flesh For Fantasy
Billy Idol · Rebel Yell
There's a change in pase
For fantasy and taste
Do you like the music?
Do you like to dance?
Oh yeah
Hanging out for a body shop at night
Ain't it strange what they do to feel all right
Oh yeah
So...
When will you call?
I am experienced
Oh yeah
Face to face
And back to back
You see and feel
My sex attack
Sing it
Flesh...flesh for fantasy
We want
Flesh...flesh for fantasy
It's after midnight
Oh are you feeling all right?
Oh yeah
Turn on the light babe
Is there someone else tonight?
Neighbour to neighbour
Door to door
Don't ask questions
Time for it all
Oh yeah
Face to face
And back to back
You see and feel
My sex attack
Sing it
Flesh...flesh for fantasy
We cry
Flesh...flesh for fantasy
(guitar and bass solo)
I sing for culture...
Fathers love his sons
Mothers daughters too...
It's an old old story
Cries the new world too
Flesh...flesh..flesh for fantasy
We want
Flesh...flesh for fantasy
We want
Flesh...flesh for fantasy
We want
Flesh...flesh for fantasy
You cry
Flesh...flesh for fantasy
There's a change in pase
For fantasy and taste
Turn out the light babe
You could miss your chance
Neighbour to neighbour
Door to door
Enjoy the crime
You do your time
Never been nothing before

Flesh For Fantasy
Flesh For Fantasy stands as a defining track from Billy Idol's 1983 breakthrough album, Rebel Yell. The song captures the raw energy and theatrical flair that characterized Idol's transition from punk rock icon to mainstream rock star. Musically, the recording blends driving guitar riffs with a pulsating rhythm section, creating an atmosphere of dark intensity that complements the album's gothic themes. As part of a cohesive body of work, the track showcases Idol's ability to merge new wave sensibilities with hard rock aggression. It remains a significant song in his discography, reflecting the bold production choices and stylistic experimentation that secured his place in rock history during the early 1980s.
