Wide Boys Lyrics

I took a walk down New York avenue

Wearing my latest disguise

Enjoying the perfume of utter dismay

I was effectively anaesthetised

Starving so arrogantly in jumble-sale clothes

Evangeline hires out my throat

We've got the streets of London wrapped in our beds

Nagasaki in our own coats

We're the wide boys

Up on the streets

Wide boys

Ah, go on and meet me

Wide boys

Delightfully unpleasant

With the foxy adolescent (???)

Tired of being put down

Broken-hearted my life (???) started

Tired of being cut down

All your illusions disillusioned (???)

Wide boys

Up on the streets

Wide boys

Ah, go on and meet me

Wide boys

Delightfully unpleasant

With the foxy adolescent (???)

We'll do some music plays the wrong side of nightmare

Juke-box models collide

The scent on the fire escaping blazing to the sun

Embracing the old suicide pride

I spent a few lifetimes making spinal connections

Down on Einstein Boulevard

I've to to walk a tightrope now the rampart is so high

I swagger like a neon guitar

With the wide boys

Up on the streets

Wide boys

Ah, go on and meet me

Wide boys

Delightfully unpleasant

With the foxy adolescent (???)

Wide boys

Up on the streets

Wide boys

Ah, go on and meet me

Wide boys

Delightfully unpleasant

With the foxy adolescent (???)
