Sex Drive 7" version lyrics

The 7" version of Sex Drive has some extra lyrics in the bridge which contains the line:

"....can't keep my dirty hands off it"

What are the exact lyrics of that part?

Thanx!

René

I believe it's...

I can't look I've got to touch
Can't keep my dirty hands off it
Here's the card go wrap it up
I want it now

I don't recall which is which as the cd single is not with me, but the 1997 (?) Virgin remaster does have a different mix of Sexdrive than the 1991 original Sony cd...I recall thinking it was the Dirty Hands mix...

The original Sony CD from 1991 contained a version of the song that was closer to its inspiration, James Brown's "Sex Machine." The CD single Sony issued later that year contained an extended remix with the Dirty Hands verse and an edited remix. It was the edited remix which was substituted on Virgin's reissue of Flashpoint in 1998.

Thank you for your comments Rocky, in that case I'm happy I have the original Flashpoint. Can't understand those record companies. Why mess with an original tracklisting? Offcourse they're more than welcome to ADD tracks and if nesecary
remaster it as close to the sound of the mastertapes.

Thanks for the clarification Rocky, and I'm glad I have both the Sony & Virgin editions (& hopefully, somewhere, the single)...Funny thing is the same generally responsible guy (Bob Ludwig) mastered both versions of Flashpoint. Maybe a deliberate 'artist's decision' ?

The Virgin editions also did a few minor edits of the live tracks.
