Sexatise You

Adam And The Ants · Other Songs - Adam And The Ants

It's Friday night, the lights are low

We're looking for a place to go

With the play nearly right

All night, every night



Honey

(Dondo, Dondo)

Then a voice in the distance grab a hold of you

(Who)

Whispers boy, I'm gonna sexatise you



Don't ever let your private life

Get in the way of your sexy life

She said, don't ever let your private life

Get in the way of your sexy life



Well, in Paris, TX or Paris, France

Down in the alley, still taking a chance

Home of pleasures, live life in a day

If I had my time over I'd do it all again



Sing

(Dondo)

Toping my body with a close of you

Step over hear I'm gonna sexatise you



Don't ever let your private life

Get in the way of your sexy life

She said, don't ever let your private life

Get in the way of your sexy life



Turn up the powers, that power

And ride it right on through

I'm polishing my pretty dolls up

I'm gonna sexatise you



Turn up the powers, that power

And ride it right on through

I'm polishing my pretty dolls up

I'm gonna sexatise you



Well, there is no such thing as good or bad

Was the experience, the best you ever had?

Just want to throw it right on your fire

And just like Sly, 'I wanted to get higher'



She said, don't ever let your private life

Get in the way of your sexy life

Released during the height of their commercial success, the song became a staple of their live performances and radio play, cementing their status as pioneers of the 1980s pop-rock revival. Its enduring appeal lies in its infectious melody and the cultural impact of the band's unique presentation, which challenged traditional gender norms in popular music. As a key track from their discography, 'Sexatise You' remains a powerful reminder of the era's vibrant musical landscape and the group's ability to create memorable, high-energy recordings that transcended their initial niche audience.
