(The Continuing Adventures Of) The Girl About Town |
Well I’m hanging around with the girl about town |
She can’t stand up from falling down |
We’re in the gutter and looking up |
And wishing on the stars |
Says «Twenty years ago today |
I was a Welsh girl in the USA |
I met a boy on Ligger street |
Who stole my heart» |
«Yeah, we danced all night to the sounds of The Ramones |
He had a punkrock guitar that I played when we got home |
He knew a drummer with a pink haircut and his sister joined the band |
Six months later we signed a deal and we headed for Japan» |
«Now I live on the fourteenth floor of tower block estate |
And when I’m drunk I see the lights shine over Swansea Bay |
I wish I was back… |
I wish I was back… |
I wish I was back… |
I wish I was back… |
Back in the New York groove.» |
Well I’m hanging around with the girl about town |
She can’t stand up from falling down |
She’s got plastic badge stuck across her heart |
Says «gimme teenage kicks» |
Says «Twenty years ago today |
I was a Welsh girl in the USA |
I fell in love with a boy from Queens |
And quit the band.» |
«Spent all my money on a cocktail dress with matching silver shoes |
And a purple souped-up travellator David Bowie used to use |
We bought some drugs and we hit the road on the hottest summer day |
But he left me for a singer in a disco band in a nightclub in L.A.» |
«Now I live on the fourteenth floor of tower block estate |
And when I’m drunk I see the lights shine over Swansea Bay |
I wish I was back… |
I wish I was back… |
I wish I was back… |
I wish I was back… |
Back in the New York groove.» |
«I'm the girl about town that you heard of |
Girl about town.» |
