Runaways, The - Black Leather Lyrics






Ooh,
Well, he's all geared up, walkin' down the street
I can see the slime, drippin' down his sleeve
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what he's gonna do
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what he's gonna do

Ooh,
Well, it's late at night, and I'm all alone
I can hear the boots gettin' near her home
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what he's gonna do
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what he's gonna do

Scratch, scratch, he's clawing at the door
Whoa, no, I can't take it anymore
Crack, crack I'm feeling so sore,
I never should have asked for black leather
Black leather, black leather, black leather

You can try to hide, you know you won't get far
You let him in, and you'll start again
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what he's gonna do
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what he's gonna do

Scratch, scratch, she's clawing at the door
Whoa, no, I can't take it anymore
Crack, crack I'm feeling so sore,
I never should asked for black leather
Black leather, black leather, black leather

    Well put Shelly And I am going to do everything in my power to reconcile any differences the ladies may have had. I knew Joanie in jr high and she is the hardest working rocker I have ever known. Lita I know from her displayed talent and her intellect per interviews, but they play so well nicely together,  Rock on girlsand to reiterate Shelly's very true and simply mazing comment, "so fucking hot!" oesnt even scratch thw urface, but oh the surface, and what  a surface!Joanie as a Knight, you saved a Titans life when we were twelve, and was too badly shaken that Inever told you then what my feengs became aftr you showed me truth and gided me by showing I had worth and value

    The Two Queens of Rock, Lita and Joan. To bad they do not get along now. It would be great to see them both on stage together now. Both were so cute . And of course both great guitar players.

  24. J.... N....

    this is FREAKIN AWESOME, i loved GNR's cover....... but this is WAY better

  25. s.... ....

    Great song. For the longest time I thought this was a Runaways original. I knew Cook & Jones, in fact my band opened for them in 81, but I didn't realize this was their song. I was a huge Runaways fan, and Cheap Trick too. Really I thought they were the only two bands who were any good in the late 70s before I discovered punk. I liked Alice Cooper, T.Rex, lots of others, but figured out at some point that all the bands I liked were good in the early 70s, but they'd all kind of lost it over the years. Shonen Knife does a really good cover of this too. Haven't heard the Guns 'n' Roses version, not sure I want to, but I won't judge before hearing it.

    s.... ....

    @satomiwa the guns n roses version isnt bad. but its not this........

  26. P.... N....

    i hate lita ford!!! have you ever read an interview with her? she's so full of herself, and in my opinion quite delusional.

  27. G.... T....

    Awesome video!. Joan and Lita, both amazing godesses ;)

  28. M.... ....

    They were Great they should have reformed 2003 - 2007 at some point they still Rock & it would be good to see them do another studio CD. But as time goes by the less chance they ever will.

    M.... ....

    Not only that, but Sandy West died several years ago. 

  29. d.... s....

    lets go back to the 70's!!! even know i was born in the mid suckass 80's

  30. H.... ....

    Rock n Roll the best kind of music around gotta love the 70's

  31. b.... w....

    LITA ROCKS

  32. E.... C....

    i love Joan Jett

  33. D.... D....

    ROCK N ROLL

  34. A.... ....

    I hate the guitar tone/playing in this.

  35. o.... ....

    @waynedaly100 Thanks for the info.

  36. W.... D....

    @offwithurhead black leather was written and recorded by The professionals(steve jones,paul cook, andy allen) . but it was released as the sex pistols on a collection of 6 seven inch singles called the pistols pack it had another great professionals song on the b side called here we go again later both songs were on the japan only releaased lp the best of sex pistols

  37. G.... ....

    They massacred that song brilliantly. If you like real punk, go listen to Jones version.

    G.... ....

    Strange you would say that when the musicians playing on this is Jett, Jones and Cook.

    G.... ....

    GoultDanger agreed this version is way better

  38. o.... ....

    Yeah... I liked Lita(not as a person, knowing what a bitch she was) before she started her own thing and well... opened her mouth.

  39. o.... ....

    @offwithurhead But looks like the people that are arguing say something about The professionals.

  40. o.... ....

    @Teimaninja Nope, I think it's by Sex Pistols.

  41. N.... ....

    Guns Did the best version of this song

  42. s.... ....

    @SKUM76 yup

  43. S.... 7....

    was this originally by the sex pistols after rotten and viscious hasd died and left ?

  44. k.... ....

    @gypsyNmonsta huh? u obiviously meaned The Shit. :P

  45. T.... ....

    is this the original version?

  46. T.... B....

    @loveplayinwithfire0, it's the last Runaways album "And Now The Runaways".

  47. T.... B....

    @loveplayinwithfire0, it's the last Runaways album "And Now The Runways".

  48. l.... ....

    what album is this??

  49. k.... ....

    @Akira3441
    Crystal clear. It's been all along, maybe we just got our wires crossed

  50. k.... ....

    @Akira3441
    I had a record of this song with Sex Pistols written on the cover, you "do the math", if there's any math to be done, lol! I'm not sure whose quote is the one you mention, or how relevant it is. That it was done by Guns 'n' Roses I said it myself. Anyway, it's not that important, not to me at least. Thanks for posting it, take care

  51. k.... ....

    @Akira3441
    I bought it in 1978 (or 79?). I still have it. It says Sex Pistols on the cover, it was a sort of box set with 6 singles. Sid Vicious didn't play on most of Never Mind The Bollocks either, he was in hospital with hepatitis, Steve Jones did the bass parts.. so it's not the Sex Pistols then? There are Rolling Stones songs sung by Keith Richards, without Jagger. Sometimes without Bill Wyman, with Richards on bass... so, by your reckoning, it's not the Stones? How old are you exactly?

  52. M.... W....

    fucking terrible

  53. k.... ....

    This is a Sex Pistols song, done by Steve Jones & Paul Cook (Sid Vicious too?) after Johnny Rotten left, in 1978. It came out on the Six Pack singles thingie. Guns'n'Roses covered it too.
    I didn't know Joan Jett had done it as well. Thanks for posting this. I love Joan Jett, so put another dime in the juke-box, baby. Or alternatively - upload another video on YouTube, baby : )

  54. T.... B....

    Joan is just plain gorgeous, but they both rock with guitars.

  55. m.... ....

    Its black leateh written by sex pistols are u defh or what

  56. J.... ....

    @gretzz007 This is Black Leather, originally performed by the Professionals (post Sex Pistols) and the old Guns 'n Roses also made a cover on "The Spaghetti Incident?"

  57. B.... ....

    Long live Joan Jett

  58. j.... ....

    wow!!! this is fucking amazing!!

  59. e.... ....

    They were a great combo, one of the best, I think, before the tensions split them. Lita was never going to be satisfied being in Joan's shadow.

  60. R.... W....

    In my opinion Joan Jett could whoop all of y'all s arguing asses. So there, now you are even.

  61. p.... m....

    dude congrats! this is awesome. yeah they look so beatiful together. i have this version as my calltone thnx 4 share it
