Core-a-core the cleaning lady told me that she struggled to bring clarity back to the record shelves. Among the LPs petrified in dust was this one, probably unused since its release date in 1988.

Kix what the fuck? We're not Cinderella nor Van Halen. WE'RE KIX!

Core-a-core well, calm down now. You weren't anything except for this album. And be grateful that at least I'm spending these 5 minutes to comment on it.

Kix ok, you're right and we're sad...

Core-a-core now I have to console you? And alright, I'll do it. It's strange having to take care of a group of indomitable rockers like you. You've been around since 1978, born between the fabulous seventies and the miraculous eighties, you've freeloaded from both decades but never really broke through. A career of three Debaser dots. However, Blow My Fuse fully deserves four.

Kix oh thanx hard core-a-core. This was a good one.

Core-a-core as a so-called expert in the field, I confirm. Good album, with nothing new inside but with excessive energy and rhythmic bases that, tell the truth… come on, say it: you tried every way to move the usual notes on the score and in the end, you found particular intertwining. Well done, good mood.

Kix we took 3 years to produce this album.

Core-a-core three years after the previous one in which you listened to and studied all the record releases of the moment. You understood that hard rock was changing and you reworked it, inserting yourself into the Def Leppard channel, with clear influences from the seminal Quiet Riot.

Kix ok, we admit it.

Core-a-core this does you credit, really, because you are an example of "workers" of hard rock. Builders. Excellent constructions (precisely), resistant and solid, perhaps not too beautiful, but you've been at it for 30 years and deserve to be remembered. You are an honest rock band that got one right, this Blow My Fuse. And you deserved to open on stage for AC/DC, Aerosmith, David Lee Roth, Ratt, Britny Fox, Malmsteen.

Kix songs included in this album are our gems.

Core-a-core your personal ones, yes. Then leave the judgment to the fans. For me, only the monster ballad Don't Close Your Eyes was a real international hit with frosting. You chose an intelligent theme, that of suicide, and wrote a hard-hitting song, like electroshock. Still capable of reviving you and making you reflect. For the rest, you Steve Whiteman, sing a little too nasally but you are hoarse as I like. Forsythe and Younkins on guitars did very well. Nice solos and rhythms, as mentioned before, well-studied. Purnell and Chalfant, compliments for the rhythmic support.

Kix arithanx, guy, but we think we're greater than your opinion.

Core-a-core I'm not dissing you, come on! I'm just saying you're a good group and that this album doesn't go unnoticed. Cold Blood is indeed beautiful, I grant you that too, a piece that makes you dance, a dance floor piece. It's the track that makes me think you spent a few nights with the Walkman listening to Night Songs by Cinderella and that when your mother was carrying you, she abused Van Halen and Def Leppard. Red Lite, Green Lite, TNT didn't convince me as it has a quiet start. Get It While It's Hot is tasteful and No Ring Around Rosie hits hard and has nice supporting riffs. She Dropped Me the Bomb really makes me think of the Def Leppard of the golden times and even to Scorpions and Bonfire. Piece Of The Pie is leopard and glam, a bit like Faster or L.A. Guns, but under that level. I can't stand Boomerang much as it's tacky even though it leans toward Great White. The title track you honestly could have spared, but with Dirty Boys you ended well, the usual tightly-packed bone-crusher. I've treated you well, come on...

Core-a-core hey...

Core-a-core go to hell!

Tracklist Lyrics and Videos

01   Red Lite, Green Lite, TNT (03:57)

02   Get It While It's Hot (04:27)

I'm a love machine, I'm an M-16
I'll shoot you full of holes
I'll scratch your back, give you a heart attack
And drag you across the coals

I'm not fooling around
I'm gonna melt you down
You need to change your oil
A little gasoline in your canteen
Will bring you to a boil

Get it while it's hot, I'm on fire
Get it while it's hot
Don't be too cool, get it while it's hot

If you let me in, I can blister your skin
Burns of the third degree
Throw your coat on the floor and lock the door
Shade the light from me

You're gonna have to run from my loaded gun
Get ready for the show
You knock me off my feet when you turn up the heat
And the list begins to grow

Get it while it's hot, I'm on fire
Get it while it's hot
Don't be too cool get it while it's hot

Come and get it - While it's hot
Come and get it - On the rocks
Come and get it - On the street
Come and get it - In the sheets

Flames in the gutter, smoke in the sky
Hot undercover but I gotta try

Get it while it's hot, I'm on fire
Get it while it's hot, Fever's higher
Get it while it's hot, You're not gonna know
Get it while it's hot, Where the lids gonna blow
Get it while it's hot, I'm a love machine
Get it while it's hot, I'm an M-16
Get it while it's hot

03   No Ring Around Rosie (04:36)

Ahhhh, We all fall down
I know a girl that you know too
Everything you heard about her well it's all true
Under the bleachers out in the snow
A back street teacher in an all night show
Bad bad girl
She ain't too pretty she ain't too proud
A red hot devil in an angels cloud
Her finger tips got the magic touch
She'll shake her hips and make a blind man blush
Bad bad girl
No ring around Rosie
No halo over her hair
No ring around Rosie
Weak in the knees go around and round
They all fall down

Ring around Rosie
Ring around Rosie

When her daddy's at work
And her mom ain't home
She ain't no angel you can hear her moan
She's so good when she's so bad
Best little girl I have ever had
Bad bad girl

No ring around Rosie (Bad bad girl)
No ring around Rosie (Bad bad girl)

They all fall down
All fall down
no ring around Rosie
No halo over her hair
No ring around Rosie
Weak in the knees go around and round and round
They all fall down
Bad bad girl

04   Don't Close Your Eyes (04:18)

Whatcha doing out in the night time
Why'd ya' call me on the phone
Your mama can't solve your problems
When's daddy ever gonna get home
So you did your little move and cried
In the middle of a suicide

Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't sing your last lullaby

There's no one there to hold you
No one hears your scream
You live life up and down
your nightmare's are your dreams
I know it's lonely when your hanging 'round
Don't ya' take it lying down - no, no
Hold on - Hold on tight
I'll make everything all right
Wake up - Don't go to sleep
I pray the lord your soul to keep

Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't sing your last lullaby

Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't sing your last lullaby

05   She Dropped Me the Bomb (03:50)

06   Cold Blood (04:17)

Cruisin' downtown
Shakin' her love
T and A talkin' to me
Felt my heart drop
Wheeled a dead stop
Girl has got me on my knees
Baby baby babe don't make me wonder
Won't you let me in
She said - see you later
Shot down
I'll be back again

Good love is all you need
But you don't wanna know
Cold blood is all you bleed
When it cools off - you tease it
When it gets hot - you freeze it
Cold blood is all you bleed

Dresses so tight
Moving to the beat
Set my feet on fire
Dream come true I want to give it to you
Let the flame get higher
Baby baby you're driving me crazy
Like a cat in a cage
You make me sh-sh-sh-shiver - earthquake
Down town to the blaze

Good love is all you need
Give me what I know
Cold blood is all you bleed
When it cools off - you tease it
When it gets hot - you freeze it
Cold blood is all you bleed

You make me so hot
I feel my temperature rise
Don't shoot me down - No

When it cools off - you tease it
When it gets hot - you freeze it
Cold blood is all you bleed

(group participation)

Cold blood is all you bleed
Cold blood is all you bleed
Cold blood is all you bleed

07   Piece of the Pie (03:52)

Cold, cold cold sweat
A cold, cold heart...you bet
Crack the looking glass
Broken pieces from my past

Down, skin and bones
On the road, no home
Hungry, the grip is tight
Just a vision of the night

I want, you want
To taste it, better on top
I just want a piece of the pie
Or the green starts to rise
Don't make me cry for a piece of the pie

Hard, hard to get
Little teaser, not yet
Down at the 9th Street bar
Parked in the backseat of my car

Steam, I can't breath
Hot and sweaty, jonesin' ???
Now, give it up
Well, I could never get too much

I want, you want
To taste it, better on top
I just want a piece of the pie
Before the breeze starts to rise
Don't make me cry for a piece of the pie

I want, you want
So let it
I'll get, you give
Go get it
No ifs, no ands
Don't bite off
Me and my plans

Don't bite off a piece of the pie
Or the green starts to rise
Don't make me cry for a piece of the pie

Piece of the pie
Gonna eat me alive
It's a long hard climb
For a piece of the pie

Piece of the pie...

08   Boomerang (03:46)

I turn and start to shake you baby
Still on my tippy toes
You know I should have left you baby
A long long time ago
I sat there on my doorstep baby
Crying in the rain
But oh the crazy dream
I watched my tears run down the drain

She's a boomerang
Keep comin' back to me
She's a boomerang
Keep comin' back to me

You know sometimes you're just so damned hard to please

If I give my heart away
Would it break these chains
If I cried a million tears
Would it drown the flame
You know you set my soul on fire
But there's nothing left to burn nothing left to burn
You're just a boomerang
Throw it out - watch it turn turn

Boom boom boom boomerang
She's a boomerang
Boom boom boom boomerang
She's a boomerang

Nothing will shock you baby
Stop - Look around
Well I was out with the boys last night
They said your babies back in town

09   Blow My Fuse (04:03)

Shut up! Do it!

Come on start a fire in my electric chair
Baby cross my wires, light up my hair
Overload my circuits, let me feel the juice
Make me an offer that I can't refuse

Blow my fuse (Hey hey)
You got nothing to lose
Blow my fuse, I need a good shot
I can't give it to you on electric cruise
Blow my fuse
You light my light, I'll light you

Baby shake my tower, get it while it's hot
Baby feel my power, fifty thousand watts
Come on feel the voltage, light thick and through
From the whites of my eyeballs to the soles of my shoes

Blow my fuse (Hey hey)
You got nothing to lose
Blow my fuse, I need a good shot
I can't give it to you, on electric cruise
Blow my fuse

Hot wired, get fired
Ooh baby watch it glow
Give me action, satisfaction
Babe I'm ready for an overload

Plug me in like electric light
It's a rock and roll show tonight

Blow my fuse (Hey hey)
You got nothing to lose
Blow my fuse, I need a good shot
I can't give it to you
Blow my fuse (Hey hey)
You got nothing to lose
Blow my fuse, I need a hot spark
I can't give it to you
Blow my fuse, got nothing to lose
Blow my fuse, can't give it to you
Blow my fuse, got nothing to lose
Blow my fuse, can't give it to you
Blow my fuse
