Forming/Hot Chocolate Boy by Hole


Hole's hybrid cover of Beat Happening's 'Hot Chocolate Boy' and the Germs' punk classic
'Forming', from their EP, 'Ask For It'. Not sure why the song is titled in the order it
is, as 'Hot Chocolate Boy' comes before 'Forming'. I'm presuming that the part played by
Guitar 1 is Courtney Love, and Guitar 2 is Eric Erlandson, but I could be wrong.

     He's always waiting
     Gotta make the move to tell her
     Hot chocolate boy
     He's never met one
     Hot chocolate wet one
     Hot chocolate boy
     Deep, sweet, and bitter
     Spoons and a plate for breakfast
     Hot chocolate boy
     Hot, frosty, creamy
     He was only dreaming

    Don't know where
    In his big white house
    Step on them
    We're coming out
    You know what it means to alone
    Empty
    Hold them down
    Hold me up
    Tell them that
    I'm your gun
    Pull my trigger
    I am bigger than...
    I'm bigger than...
