Shaftesbury Avenue

歌詞

I think you're wailing for someone And I think he's not going to show And there's this little place round the corner Wanna go? Uptown - charcoal and braziers Uptown - where the traffic is crazier Uptown - where the people are racier And the stage door is unlit Uptown - I'm going up there just as I am Going to dance down the roofs of the traffic jam Uptown - 'cause I've got something that's itching me And here's where I'm going to scratch it Appearing in the West End: Tottenham Hotspurs with Rolex handshakes And crocodile sunlans (Appearing in the West End) JAPs and prunes, cops and robbers Touts with faces like the phantom of the opera Council house tarts and cocktail bars Looking for a boyfriend (Appearing in the West End) Foetus in the dish, falcon down the pan Feasts in the dustbin (Appearing in the West End) Gerrard Street girl watch as I go My hungry blue eyes below your window (Appearing in the West End) If I could just speak Cantonese You could be my best friend (Appearing in the West End) There's some greal entertainment lined up for me On BBC1 But meet me on Shahesbury Avenue (Operating for fun, looking for a good time) Sophisticated sister, so much better at life than me Meet me on Shaftesbury Avenue Talk to me Dance with me Make love with me Make me somebody Uptown - walking all night all alone Uptown - through the entertainment zone Uptown - searching for sweet oblivion 'til the bitter end Uptown - nothing comes to him who waits Uptown - no free lunches, no dinner dates Uptown - got to take your chance at a back door dance With a very special friend Appearing in the West End: Streatham princesses in sherbert stilettoes And matt black toy boys who act like heroes (Appearing in the West End) Businessman sleaze, whips made of liquorice No sex please: we're British (Appearing in the West End) Chinatown pimps and handshake whores And Tackhead caps at the Astoria doors (Appearing in the West End) XR1 sunroofs open on the night Bragging Kiss FM rapper's delight (Appearing in the West End) Gerrard Street girl watch as I go My hungry blue eyes below your window (Appearing in the West End) If I could just speak Vietnamese You could be my best friend (Appearing in the West End) There's some great entertainment lined up for me On BBC1 But meet me on Shaftesbury Avenue (Operating for fun, looking for a good time) Sophisticated sister, so much better at life than me Meet me on Shaftesbury Avenue Talk to me Dance with me Make love with me Make me somebody Make me somebody Make me somebody Make me somebody
