Jim Steinman Love and Death and American Guitar Lyrics:
I remember everything! I remember every little
thing as if it happened only yesterday.I was
barely 17 and I once killed a boy with a fender
guitar. I don't remember if it was a Telecaster or
a Stratocaster,but i do remember that it had a
heart of chrome and a voice like a horny angel. I
don't remember if it was a Telecaster or a
Stratocaster, but I do remember that it wasn't at
all easy. It required the perfect combination of
the right powerchords and the precise angle from
which to strike. The guitar bled for about a week
afterwards and the blood was ooh... dark and rich
like wild berries. The blood of the guitar was
Chuck Berry red! The guitar bled for about a week
afterwards and it rung out beautifully , and I was

able to play notes that I had never even heard
before. So I took my guitar and I smashed it
against the wall!! I smashed it against the
floor!! I smashed it against the body of a varsity
cheerleader!! I smashed it against the hood of a
car I smashed it agianst a 1981-Harley Davidson...
The Harley howled in pain, the guitar howled in
heat! I ran up the stairs to my parents bedroom
Mommy and Daddy were sleeping in the moonlight
slowly I opened the door creeping in the shadows
right up to the foot of the bed I raised my guitar
high above my head and just as I was about to
bring the guitar crashing down upon the center of
the bed my father woke up screaming: "stop...wait
a minute..stop it,boy" "what do you think you're
doing??? That's no way to treat an expensive
musical instrument" And I said "god damn it,
daddy!!!You know I love you....." "BUT YOU GOT A
HELL OF A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!"
