| I think you’re waiting 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
|
| Where the traffic is crazier
|
| 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
|
| Cos 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
|
| JAPs and prunes, cops and robbers
|
| Touts with faces like the Phantom of the Opera
|
| Chinatown pimps and handshake whores
|
| And Tackhead caps at the Astoria doors
|
| Foetus in the dish, falcon down the pan
|
| Feasts in the dustbin
|
| Gerrard Street girl watch as I go
|
| My hungry blue eyes below your window
|
| 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 BBC 1
|
| 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
|
| Dance with me
|
| Talk to me
|
| Make love with me
|
| Make me somebody
|
| Uptown
|
| Walking all night all alone
|
| Through the entertainment zone
|
| Searching for sweet oblivion
|
| Till the bitter end
|
| Nothing comes to him who waits
|
| No free lunches, no dinner dates
|
| 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
|
| Businessman sleaze, whips made of liquorice
|
| No sex please: we’re British
|
| Council house tarts in cocktail bars
|
| Looking for a boyfriend
|
| XR 3 sunroofs open on the night
|
| Bragging Kiss FM rapper’s delight
|
| Gerrard Street girl watch as I go
|
| My hungry blue eyes below your window
|
| If I could just speak Vietnamese
|
| You could be my best friend
|
| Appearing in the West End
|
