AC/DC - T.N.T

T.N.T Lyric


See me ride out of that sunset
On your color TV screen
Out for all that I can get
If you know what I mean
Women to the left of me
Women to the right
Ain't got no gun
Ain't got no knife
Don't you start no fight...

Cause I'm T.N.T. I'm dynamite

T.N.T. And I'll win the fight

T.N.T. I'm a powerload

T.N.T. Watch me explode...

I'm dirty, mean, mighty unclean
I'm a wanted man
Public enemy number one
Understand...
So lock up your daughter
Lock up your wife
Lock up your backdoor
Run for your life
The man is back in town
Don't you mess around...

Cause I'm T.N.T. I'm dynamite
T.N.T. And I'll win the fight
T.N.T. I'm a powerload
T.N.T. Watch me explode...
T.N.T. Aye - Aye - Aye
T.N.T. Aye - Aye - Aye
T.N.T. Aye - Aye - Aye
T.N.T. Aye - Aye - Aye
T.N.T. I'm dynamite
T.N.T. And I'll win the fight
T.N.T. I'm a powerload
T.N.T. Watch me explode...

Song Notes : "This was originally released in 1975 in their native Australia on their second album, which was also called T.N.T. Their first 2 Australian releases were combined to form High Voltage, which was released worldwide"

"This was one of AC/DC's first singles with Bon Scott on lead vocals. Originally a roadie, he took over lead vocals when their first singer, Dave Evans, didn't show up for a gig"

"AC/DC recorded this quickly and with little production. They wanted to capture the energy of their live shows on the album"

"T.N.T. stands for Trinitrotoluene, an explosive compound. It was popularized in Road Runner cartoons when the Coyote would buy explosive items (from Acme) labeled "T.N.T." in an attempt to blow up the Road Runner. To this date, the coyote has not been able to harm the Road Runner in any way, and has done much more damage to himself through careless use of Acme products"
