Dexy`s Midnight Runners Geno Lyrics

Geno Lyrics

Back in '68 in a sweaty club (Oh Geno)
Before Jimmy's Machine and The
Rocksteady Rub (Oh Geno)

On a night when flowers didn't suit my
shoes
After a week of flunking and bunking school
The lowest head in the
crowd that night
Just practicing steps and keeping out of the
fights

Academic inspiration, you gave me none
But you were Michael
the lover, the fighter that won
And now just look at me as I'm looking down
on you
No I'm not being flash, it's what I'm built to do

That man
took the stage, his towel was swinging high (Oh Geno)
This man was my
bombers, my Dexy's, my high (Oh Geno)

The crowd, they all hailed you and
chanted your name
But they never knew like we knew me and you were the
same
And now you're all over, your song is so tame
You fed me, you bred
me, I'll remember your name

Academic inspiration, you gave me
none
But you were Michael the lover, the fighter that won
And now just
look at me as I'm looking down on you
No I'm not being flash, it's what I'm
built to do

Oh Geno
