Hugh Brown/Tristan Rogers

Several years ago (~1995) Huge was in an unsuccessful 3-piece band called 'Lifta". The band came and went nowhere but the guitarist, Tristan Rogers, had a real flair for making up interesting guitar riffs. Tristan is the brother of Adam, who wrote "Cry to Heaven". while cleaning out his garage, Huge found an old 4-track tape of some of the Lifta songs and did his best to imitate Tristan's riff and wrote the rest. The chorus is also mostly Tristan's idea, but the rest of the words and music are just Huge's attempt to finish Tristans' great idea.

On this version, all noises were made by Huge and most were recorded and engineered by "Big" Phil van Vliet. It was entered in the Q-Song 2007 competition but not even shortlisted.

Why don’tcha roll me over, baby and shake-a me down?
I got an itchin’ you been bitchin’ ‘bout me all over town.
I’m thinkin’ you’re the kind to blow my mind. The cream of the crop.
Yeah there’s a reason you’re in season and the heat won’t stop.

You say you want a winner but you’re inexact.
You’re Jonesin’ on the detail as a matter of fact.
I'm callin’ but you’re stallin’ when we interact.
Gettin’ to you takes tact.

‘Coz you’re Dirty (You're Dirty)
So Dirty (You're Dirty)

Yeah you can tell it to me straight, babe. I ain’t no Narc.
I get the feelin’ you been dealin’ while I dance in the dark.
You know I ain’t no Angel either, but this don’t compare
‘Cause you’re the devil in the detail with your sexy stare.

You say you want a winner but you’re inexact.
You’re Jonesin’ on the detail as a matter of fact.
I'm callin’ but you’re stallin’ when we interact.
Gettin’ to you takes tact.

‘Coz you’re Dirty (You're Dirty)
You're playin' Dirty (You're Dirty)

Come with me, babe.
See the road less travelled is smoother with two.
Now I know you want me, and I want you.

Your body’s makin’ statements you can’t retract.
I’m Jonesin’ on the detail as a matter of fact.
I’m callin’ but you're stallin’ when we interact.
Gettin’ to you takes tact.

Coz you’re Dirty (You're Dirty)
So Dirty (You're Dirty)
Let's get Dirty (You're Dirty)
So Dirty (You're Dirty)
Yes you are.
