Queen Of The Backstreet

+ Show full styles

Ahhh yeah… Oi, look at her go… Saw her down on Liverpool Street Silver boots and no shoestrings Cigarette hangin’ off her lip Talkin’ fast with a wicked grin Every bloke turned ‘round to stare Like she owned the bloody air She laughed loud, knocked back gin And said “you ain’t seen where I’ve been” Ohhh… She’s trouble in disguise… She’s the queen of the backstreet nights! All night! Painted lips and city lights! That’s right! Too wild to ever behave Too cool for a life that’s safe! Queen of the backstreet nights! Watch her go! Everybody wants her close But she disappears before daylight! Hey! Hey! Took me down some alley bar Jukebox screamin’ old guitar Said “love, don’t ask my name You’ll forget it anyway” Stole me jacket, stole me drink Kissed me once and made me think Maybe madness ain’t so bad Maybe normal’s overrated Ohhh… She’s chaos in high heels… She’s the queen of the backstreet nights! All night! Painted lips and city lights! That’s right! Too wild to ever behave Too cool for a life that’s safe! Queen of the backstreet nights! Watch her go! Everybody wants her close But she disappears before daylight! She don’t need your rules… Or your plans… She just snaps her fingers And the whole room dances… She’s the queen of the backstreet nights! All night! Burnin’ fast through neon lights! Too bright! No one ever holds her down She’s the heartbeat of this town! What a woman… What a woman!
