Name: She's A Ripper
Duration: P00H03M19S
Description: This is still one of our most favorite songs to play live. Nick came up with the main riff and song title. The rest of the song basically wrote itself, which is always nice. Interestingly when we originally wrote it, there was no drum intro and the lyrics did not come in right away, but when we recorded it we messed up the intro counting.

lyrics

I'm a ripper, I rip it up all night
I get to rippin', I keep it nice n' tight
Let my prey, they say, that they know wrong from right
but daddy's darling is getting what's coming to her tonight

You wanna go for a ride?
I'll tear it up on the other side
You wanna go for a ride?

It's my time to fly I'm going to live it up
You want to go for a ride, you better give it up
I'm gonna live it up, you better give it up

I'm a ripper and I don't bottle lies
A go getter better man have tried
I can rock the box and find the hidden prize
But daddy's darling's given what she's gettin'
She's a ripper in disguise

You wanna go for a ride?
I'll tear it up on the other side
You wanna go for a ride?
I'll tear it up on the other side

It's my time to fly I'm going to live it up
You want to go for a ride, you better give it up
I'm gonna live it up

You wanna go for a ride?
I'll tear it up on the other side
You wanna go for a ride?
I'll tear it up on the other side

To me this is like 70ies Heavy Metal in nearly all aspects. I can understand the comparisons to Motörhead but to me they don’t really sound like them, except maybe for the Heavy Blue style lead breaks. What they do have is the drive, gravelly vocals and swagger of Motörhead. This they have that in buckets. Super fun Heavy Metal/Hard Rock that just doesn’t age. Harry Harrison
