about

George finds this song, which he wrote aged 17, makes him cringe now, partly due to the yucky words and partly due to the frighfully gratuitous use of a few notes hinting at a Cliff Richard melody on guitar. However, the guitars and drums sound great from a production perspective so Paul deserves credit for his part in the making of this.
Andy played the rhythm guitar part on Nicodemus and George played the Ice Maiden.
George was requested to use considerably less dirt on the recording than he used live which disappointed him at the time. The original sound for this was utterly filthy.
When Rough Terrain played this live, if Jerry was late getting to the mic with his backing vocal in the chorus it sounded like the band were singing “I’m a two timer.”
The key for this song is F# minor.

lyrics

TWO TIMER
Low down dirty mean double crosser
Slow down, make you scream, call a copper
I want to give you a warning about a woman that I know
Just when you think she’s yours you won’t be the only one
She’ll play you around, she’ll move around
She’ll lay you down

Two timer two timer two timer two timer
Two timer two timer two timer
She’ll lay you low

I had her for a while
Was a very short while
I had her, made me smile
Was a very broad smile
But then I found about this other guy
And he found out about me
She’ll play you around, she’ll move around
She’ll lay you down

Two timer two timer two timer two timer
Two timer two timer two timer
She’ll lay you low

Black eye, don’t know why, howling on the sidewalk
Scream, shout, sort it out, come and have a good talk
It’s time to decide on what we must do
And I think that I will be leaving you
You play me around, you move around
You lay me down

Two timer two timer two timer two timer
Two timer two timer two timer
She’ll lay you low
