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...
