Wide Boys

I took a walk down Rue Morgue Avenue Wearing my latest disguise Enjoying the perfume of utter dismay I was effectively anaesthetised Starving so arrogantly in jumble-sale pearls Evangeline hires out my throat We've got the streets of London mapped in our beds Nagasaki under our coats Wide boys -Up on the streets Wide boys - Ah, come on and meet me Wide boys - Delightfully unpleasant With our foxy adolescent sneers Tired of being put down Broken-hearted my life not started Tired of being cut down All your illusions disillusion me.... Wide boys -Up on the streets Wide boys - Ah, come on and meet me Wide boys - Delightfully unpleasant With our foxy adolescent sneers Open sore music plays the wrong side of nightmare Juke-box models collide The saint on the fire escape bleeds to the sun Embracing the old suicide bride I spent a few lifetimes making spinal connections Down on Einstein Boulevard I've proud to walk a tightrope now the gravity's so high I swagger like a neon guitar With the Wide boys -Up on the streets Wide boys - Ah, come on and meet me Wide boys - Delightfully unpleasant With our foxy adolescent sneers
