J. GEILS BAND - Concealed weapons

J. Geils Band - Concealed Weapons
Buried treasure
All that hidden loot
She didn't seem so dangerous
Harmless, yeah to boot
You break the ice
She'll turn on you
She's way beyond the law
She yells, "Freeze!"
When you want her to thaw

She's a dead aim, sure shot
Sweet ammo in her shoe
What fits right at her chest
She's got aiming right at you
She'll make a sharp inspection
Of more than head to toe
Then she'll slap her handcuffs on
And say, "Honey, you can't go"

Stick 'em up, stick 'em up
Concealed Weapons
The most dangerous you ever saw
Stick 'em up, Concealed Weapons
Concealed Weapons
They oughta be against the law

You might have her covered
But there ain't no way to stop her
She's got her secret weapons
And there's no way she will drop 'em
She can change hands -- turn around
And take a fancy shot
If you can put the bullet
Into her cartridget slot

Spead 'em out, palms down
Up against the wall
You been had but you ain't sad
No army you can call
And when she pats you down
You best not take a risk
Speak not, move not
When she starts to frisk

Stick 'em up, stick 'em up
Concealed Weapons
She's gonna beat you to the draw
Stick 'em up, Concealed Weapons
Concealed Weapons
They oughta be against the law

She didn't know what she was packin'
She didn't know my heart was crackin'
She was shootin' with live ammunition
She was attackin' from every position
She had me pinned down, flat on the floor
She blew me away and I was hurtin' for sure
Concealed Weapons, Concealed Weapons
They oughta be against the law
Stick 'em up
Concealed Weapons

I don't think Seth's singing was the problem with this song or the band at this point. J. Geils was one of those bands with such a loyal fan base that the "faithful" wouldn't accept any frontman but Peter Wolf. With Peter this song probably would have gotten more play. It's just one of those Rock equations: J. Geils Band - Peter Wolf = Not J. Geils Band.

LOL... i remember buying this album as a kid -- the other tracks on this release were really goofy. I had this on vinyl and it didnt get much play.

@TGCRVT This band was really about Magic Dick on the harp but I agree, they never were the same without Peter Wolf.

He needs to get a handle on his drum kit.  Stick em up.

I'm one of the few that absolutely LOVED this album and still have it on a much worn cassette tape. Wish ITunes would pick the album up!

Looking forward to the 8/14 reunion show at Fenway and praying to God they don't play this song!

As a huge JGB fan growing up, I groaned the first time I heard this on the radio! Revisting it now, it's no worse than other mid-'80's syrupy, overproduced pop fare. That said, it still feels like a soul-less, subpar effort that JGB was either "forced" to do contractually or did out of pride to show Wolf they could exist w/o him. Sure, JGB had taken a def. pop bent with Love Stinks & Freeze Frame, but those LPs had great rock & blues songs that retained elements of JGB's orig. character.

@acehighpat

Couldn't agree more with your last point ! It ALWAYS sux when 1 of your fave bands not only breaks up, but then the factions try to "compete" w/each other for record sales /airplay /concert tix /overall popularity with the orig lineup's fan base (think Pink Floyd). The result is that both cannabalize each other since the "vote gets split", as they say in politics LOL Proves that Gestalt theory is correct - the whole really IS greater than the sum of its parts !

Anyone know where to get a digital copy of Concealed Weapons? It's not even in the JGB catolog because of the lack of Peter! tcrjr@sc.rr.com
