Wide Boys Lyrics

Wide Boys lyrics



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
