LYRICS
Tommy's got a brother named Thomas
And another brother named Tom
Their father's a professional fighter
And I think so is their mom
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Get away from Tommy
But Tommy won't get away
Won't stay away from me
Get away from me, Tommy
Tommy gets his wisdom through excess
Tommy don't hold no scorn
Transcends limits of his culture
The very one from where I was born
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Get away from Tommy
But Tommy won't get away
Won't stay away from me
Get away from me, Tommy
Tommy don't follow no tradition
The song that he sings is his own
I can hear the shame bells ringing
I don't wanna die alone
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Get away from Tommy
One time and he won't get away
Won't stay away from me
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Get away from Tommy
But Tommy won't get away
Won't stay away from me
Get away from me, Tommy

[@RnREnglands]

This sounds sooo good in 2021....Dolls forever

[@tinchocabj1053]

This album"one day it will..."is better than the 2 original from their first period and is the only time than a reunion band delivers a better work than the historic previous ones.

[@gilwood7530]

I wish JOHNNY , JERRY and ARTHUR Were on this album !!!! (GREAT ALBUM) Some people have the STONES ...THESE GUYS WERE MY STONES as a kid. Yeah, I was a fuckin weirdo ....BUT I KNOW GOOD MUSIC WHEN I HEAR IT !

This album and their "Soundstage" appearance were fantastic. Sorry the reunion didn't stick for long.

[@BigSwifty500]

[@gretschsounds]

NYDolls wipe their asses with bands like GnR...Axl & Slash couldn't carry a waterbottle for the Dolls.

[@MacAggy]

Awesome

[@CaiophoneBA]

Uhhhh. The best!!!!!

[@marsyro]

@emile235 Hell Yeah !!! They outlasted every band from their genre and era !!! Viva Le New York Dolls. I just wish they would put my favorite 'Take A Good Look At My Good Looks" up an here.

[@Freerangemeggs]

Does anybody know what mistake they are talking about at the end?

[@Yourfucked333]

David Johannes still got it

[@gogoyubari366]

Who's David Johannes?

[@dannyismadness]

Its just yesterday for me

[@Freerangemeggs]

Does anyone know a tab for this on guitar?

[@Wuss2ns]

just don't consider it as the same band. It's true they'll never be the same, but tihs has actually allowed them to seek new directions instead of just failing to try to recreate the good ol' days

[@murdock2k8]

@Hister333 i always assumed it was about one of those mates you don't really like and you can't get rid of

[@Hister333]

@murdock2k8 Well, yeah, but is it about a specific person they know?

[@mjh5437]

R.I.P Sylvain Sylvain

[@nearly1314]

Does anyone know the chords for this? Can’t find them anywhere.

[@98ed57]

[@Freerangemeggs]
