AC/DC - Live Wire Lyrics






Well if you're lookin' for trouble
I'm the man to see
If you're lookin' for satisfaction
I'm satisfaction guaranteed
I'm as cool as a body on ice
Hotter than a rollin' dice
Send you to heaven
Take you to hell
I ain't foolin'
Can't you tell

I'm a live wire, I'm a live wire, I'm a live wire
Gonna set this town on fire

And if you need some lovin'
And if you need some man
You've got the phone and the number
And I got no future plans
Oh come on honey you got nothin' to lose
You got the thirst 'n I got the booze
Give you an inch
Take you a mile
I wanna make you fry

I'm a live wire, (live wire)
I'm a live wire, (live wire)
I'm a live wire, (live wire)
Holy smoke and sweet desire

Like a hot rod baby?
Oh stick this in your fuse box

Aah cooler than a body on ice
Hotter than a rollin' dice
Wilder than a drunken fight
You're gonna burn tonight

I'm a live wire, (live wire)
I'm a live wire, (live wire)
I'm a live wire, (live wire)
And I'm gonna set this town on fire

Live wire, (live wire)
I'm a live wire, (live wire)
Well I'm your live wire, (live wire)
I'm a live wire, (live wire)
You're gonna burn
Ah look at me, guilty
Soak my circuit
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn

    My anthem. The way I lived my life. no one believes me but I did it. Just like this and so much more! I once drunk humped the Daytona speedway track at night while looking for hookers. There was no security.

  10. S.... L....

    Still one of the greatest songs out there‼️

  11. A.... ....

    They pulled one of my teeth the other day.  The doctor told me for a couple of weeks just drink plenty of milk shakes.  Well I figured if Angus could survive and milkshakes and candy bars when they first started out, so can I.  "Holy smoke and sweet desire. "

  12. C.... A....

    This takes me back. Wilder than a drunken fight. Man I had some wild drunken fights back then. I was about 18 in the early 80's. One night me and some of my friends got into a scrap with this other group of dudes. Come in out of the bar at 2 am and these dudes started saying some shit. 3 guys vs 4 and we had 3. I had to fight two guys at once and I whipped em both. I busted this guy so hard I gave him a hairlip. Literally split his lip right to the base of his nose. Hes prolly still wearing a scar from that night. We were in this dark alleyway and I was fighting for my life. By the end those guys were begging for mercy. Someone called the cops, he calls me out at gunpoint. We come out in the street light and I had so much blood on me I looked like an ax murder. The dudes I was fighting looked half dead they were all fucked up. I smashed one of them into a brick wall like 5 times. Both my friends got their asses kicked for the most part haha. When I walked out one of those other dudes had one buddy on the ground pounding him haha. Cop called the ambulance and I could see this guy I was fighting showing the cop his lip, man it was gross. Strangely I did not get arrested, I sort of walked off while they were treating these guys. Small town, townie cops werent too sharp. The next day we were a mass of bruises. Funny thing, when I went to the bar that night, I asked my dad if I could borrow his white windbreaker. I wanted to look spiffy for the ladies you know? He said yeah but dont fuck it up. It was completely soaked in blood. He was not happy. He woke me up, after he saw that jacket thought I might be dead. He said well the jackets fucked, you ok, you look messed up your face is like a giant bruise? Did you at least win? I said yeah you should see the other guy. Anyway every time I hear this song I think about that and a few other fights I got into around 18, just nutso death matches. No weapons, just all out drunken fist fights. I didnt win them all, took a few beatings myself. I still got all my teeth though. My nose though haha :-D

  22. b.... b....

    Oh stick this in your fusebox!

  23. D.... S....

    I know AC/DC have its it's a long way, back in black, highway to hell or thunderstruck but I've always felt like live wire is their theme song, like not only does it sum them up, but it appropriately combines the concept of sleaze with imagery of electricity in a bizarre impossibly clever way that only Bon could accomplish.
    Also the bass line sounds like an electric current

    AC fucking DC

    D.... S....

    T.N.T. should be their theme song for the Bon Scott era....

    D.... S....

    @Kathy Dukakis
    Nah

  56. p.... ....

    2019 and this still fkn rocks

    p.... ....

    2031 here still rocks

  57. M.... ....

    I didn't even know there were discussions on YouTube about who was a better singer, Bon Scott or Brian Johnson, until I ran across one recently. I thought that was a no-brainer. The way I see it, Bon Scott would have been an all time great vocalist with pretty much any band he was in. If Brian Johnson had not landed a job with AC/DC we probably would have never heard of him.

    M.... ....

    RIP Bon Scott........mom said don't do drugs in the house!!🎤

    M.... ....

    Died in the limo😰

  58. M.... ....

    Bon Scott sounds wicked as hell singing the first line "Well if you're looking for trouble."

  59. A.... R....

    I legitimately thought this was a Mötley Crüe cover

    A.... R....

    Anand R. Misir yuck don’t mention motley Crüe in the presence of AC/DC

    A.... R....

    @Boyd Hey the crüe is a good band

  60. L.... W....

    thebest the best the best the best….the motor in my head, the fuel in my veins...Bon Scott´s ACDC...the life in my Groove. The only One, The Best. Never will die, Bon Scott´s ACDC is eternal, always shaking shaking shaking...

  63. T.... T....

    If your looking for trouble Im the bitch to see. Maybe be old but still try to kick some ass. Ive had black eyes and some broken bones. From a man. Love of life. Whatever.

  64. d.... p....

  77. l.... ....

    This record introduced me to rock n' roll and made me fall in love with it when I was 9 years old.

    Some awesome neighbour kids which were older than me had the kindness to make me a cassette copy of the LP.

    I never recovered from that! I'm now 39, but still, dropping the needle on "High Voltage" makes me shiver everytime. <3

  84. s.... ....

    I live in canada and i first discovered this song when we were on our way to mexico to go to my grandpas funeral. We were in las cruces Texas staying at a motel for the night and i was searching some acdc albums and i found this song and i absolutely loved it, i played it during the rest of the trip to mexico and throughout while i was there and same with on the way back to Canada. Its been 5 years now and everytime i replay it i just get memories of me listening to this song while travelling through the mountains of Mexico looking at my cousin smiling while it played, music helped me cope through this time and almost every song i have in my playlist is associated with a memory. :)

  86. d.... ....

    You know it's not just Bon that makes this early AC/DC stuff so much better, it's that Angus was really on his game wearing that SG out. He kind of slacked off after Highway to Hell... I guess Back in Black had its moments but the first few albums were the shit. I was 16 in 1976 when someone showed up with this import album that was called Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, been a fan ever since.

  87. L.... ....

    I'm bummed that i can't find any songs from Kill 'em All by Metallica, but i'm hapy that we get to listen to AC/DC songs from the Bon Scott era.

  88. J.... ....

    Gawd Dayuum This music keeps me Young(er)
    Peace and Rock on!

  89. T.... T....

    Hell yeah lets get live with some high VOLTAGE.

  90. C.... ....

    I recently infected my 12 year old son with this one.

    C.... ....

    And I did it on myself in 79! Bought an iron on decal highway to he'll t shirt from my paper route money. Ma asked me why does that man have horns and a tail? Pa asked me if they were gay...you know acdc? Was a saying in the day lol! Miss em both.... so again good job bro!

    C.... ....

    Oh come on honey you got nothing to lose.......... lyrical genius shit for the incel youth hopefully he gets laid by 14

    C.... ....

    As my mother did to me when I was 12 and I cannot thank her enough!

    C.... ....

    interesting....I have passed on a lot of music from my era (mostly 70s) to my son who really likes it.....I cannot remember my dad doing anything like that, his era was 50s.

    C.... ....

    Infected? Did you mean immunized?

  91. K.... C....

    There's no way Angus and Ted fucking nugent aint related and Malcome of course.

  92. K.... W....

    one of my favorites ... what am I saying... they are all one of my favorites THE BEST ROCK N ROLL BAND THERE EVER WAS OR EVER WILL BE <3 EVER !
