Adam And The Ants · Other Songs - Adam And The Ants
The Greek, the Gypsy, the Italian
And the pole, took a look around
Chewed up the gauntlet, spat it out
Raised them to the ground
Scorpio rising
Scorpio rising
Scorpio rising
Scorpio rising
Four young men, greasy hair
Don't know zip
Leather jackets, big packets
Into it, into it
Knock 'em dead sweetie, then sock four
My body, cha-cha and orf
Four young men on big bad bikes
Ben-hur daddy argent
Give me a flash of white white skin
Above the stocking part
Cool it with the jewels, appreciate
The world finest work of art.
Four young men a-come through hot
The last of the moccasins
Don't sit around with their chi-chi friends
And talk
And the pole, took a look around
Chewed up the gauntlet, spat it out
Raised them to the ground
Scorpio rising
Scorpio rising
Scorpio rising
Scorpio rising
Four young men, greasy hair
Don't know zip
Leather jackets, big packets
Into it, into it
Knock 'em dead sweetie, then sock four
My body, cha-cha and orf
Four young men on big bad bikes
Ben-hur daddy argent
Give me a flash of white white skin
Above the stocking part
Cool it with the jewels, appreciate
The world finest work of art.
Four young men a-come through hot
The last of the moccasins
Don't sit around with their chi-chi friends
And talk
Scorpio Rising
Adam and the Ants' 1982 hit 'Scorpio Rising' stands as a defining track of the new wave and new romantic era, blending theatrical pop with a distinct theatrical flair. The song features the group's signature falsetto vocals and dramatic delivery, characteristic of their work during the early 1980s. While often associated with their broader discography, the track exemplifies the band's ability to merge pop sensibilities with a unique, slightly eccentric persona that set them apart from their contemporaries. Its enduring appeal lies in its catchy melody and the charismatic performance that cemented the group's status as one of the most recognizable acts of the decade.
