Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back (6:06)

Cover of Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell

From Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell and 9 other releases

The second track on Bat II, “Life is a Lemon and I Want My Money Back,” demonstrates a sense of pessimism. Several things are identified as “defective”, including love, sex, gods, childhood and the future. Allmusic labels it “a stomping rocker that wraps serious feelings in a cryptically witty metaphor.

    Unfortunetly God does not give Life refunds. I apologize for misspelling that 1st word But I don't have a dictionary handy,and I can't figure out where I went wrong. Some help would be appreciated. If I ever hear this track again.

    @DaDeceptiveOne: kommt natürlich auf deine stimmung an. bei mir stimmt es halt ganz genau überein. ich bin froh, wenn es bei dir nicht so ist. muss ja nicht jeder so depri sein, wie ich.

    @fanvonschiller: habe mal intensiv auf den Text geachtet: du hast vollkommen Recht! Aber ob das jetzt so gut ist, weiss ich auch nicht...

    In my humble opinion....the greatest song in Meatloaf's career ! Spent a good part of my lifetime at live concerts....one of my biggest regrets is that I never got to see this tremendous talent live. Now...even if he toured again....who the heck are these people who can actually afford to go to a live concert nowadays ?!?!
