Infused with Chuck Berry juice,
“Born Too Loose”,
A thousand groupies, excellent,
with “Too Much Junkie Business”.
The guitar strings relentless,
in perfect rhythmic synchronicity,
Chord variety?
Who needs it
when scarcity sounds this good?  

Pathetic?
Yes, but who’s making excuses?
“Going Steady” against the grain
Why “Let Go” of the abuse?
Fueled by “Chinese Rocks”
left “All by Myself”,
“Do You Love Me”
enough to “Get Off The Phone”?

“Born To Lose” his New York Dolls,
in a menagerie of needles and a ballet of grit.
He takes a hit and tunes his guitar
(or does he tune it?)
to the sound of a “One Track Mind”
and sips of gin with the “London Boys”
speaking in “Baby Talk”
about
“Pirate Love”.

Very clever!

Sorry to shock you with my ignorance, but what does L.A.M.F. stand for?
