Dirty dirty town
Watch out girls, I'm back around
Oh won't you help me to relive my glory past?
An entertaining tale of love and lust and pretty ladies
And now big boy is back on the guitars
Black tie, shirt and shoes
It could be 1962
Before the days when music lost its very soul
Underneath this ageing body I am Elvis Presley
'Cause when I think of him he makes me Rock 'n' Roll
Oh, how I miss you, since you left I cannot write a song
I live in my pyjamas, only teddy bear to talk to since you've gone
I hug the pillow when I should be holding you
It's cheese on toast for dinner now. Why cook for under two?
But you never never know what could happen tonight
It's a dirty old city…
Well, she was just sixteen
And perhaps she saw her daddy in me
I serenaded her as I saw her standing there
"Close your eyes little girl, let me… let me kiss you
"Run your fingers through the remnants of my hair"
Oh, how I miss you, since you left I cannot write a song
I never see my friends no, no, no, teddy is the only one
I've lost my way… although I'm doing rather well
I'm sensible but dull now when I should be raising hell
But you never never know what could happen tonight
It's a dirty old city…
Thank you dirty town!
Thanks, goodnight, see you next time around!
Such a lovely city, and the energy burns bright
And this number's just for you, and you, and you, pretty ladies
Pretty ladies I'll be yours tonight (x3)
