《The Kirkstall Road Girl》歌词

[00:00:00] The Kirkstall Road Girl - Jake Thackray

[00:00:06] Now that she’s the queen the Aphrodite

[00:00:10] Of the socialite magazines

[00:00:13] Though her photo’s à la mode

[00:00:17] We knew her before down the Kirkstall Road

[00:00:22] Those jewelled arms and neck that

[00:00:25] Taste of Chanel well

[00:00:29] When they were none so white

[00:00:31] All Kirkstall knew them well

[00:00:34] It’s marron glacé suppers now

[00:00:36] And Liebfraumilch before bed :

[00:00:40] Bye-bye chips and cocoa good-bye

[00:00:43] Jam and bread

[00:00:46] Now she’s a big-time girl bold as brass

[00:00:50] In the high-class social world

[00:00:53] She has worked at her Kirkstall style

[00:00:57] Now she’s got a Rolls-Royce voice

[00:00:59] And an E-type smile

[00:01:03] Pond Street flat now and small

[00:01:05] Fat men with cigars cigars

[00:01:08] No more scabby boozers only cocktail bars

[00:01:14] Languid postures with an Irish

[00:01:16] Wolfhound as décor cor

[00:01:20] No more manky mongrels sniff round

[00:01:23] Her back door

[00:01:26] No more lamp-post deals no more

[00:01:29] Rendezvouses down the rhubarb fields

[00:01:33] No more grind by the old canal

[00:01:37] No more of your back yard Bacchanales

[00:01:42] Spring collections on her back and a moue

[00:01:45] On her lips her lips her lips ooh

[00:01:48] When she was coarse and saucy

[00:01:50] At least she got her kicks

[00:01:53] And if her smile be snooty and

[00:01:56] Her eyes be blasé well

[00:01:59] At the Mecca Locarno they could

[00:02:01] Flash more enthusiastically

[00:02:05] Chic boutiquey clothes with her brand-new

[00:02:09] Hair and a brand-new nose

[00:02:12] Though she daubed herself with woad

[00:02:16] We’d still know that bird down the Kirkstall Road

[00:02:21] There’s lots as good as her down the Kirky Road

[00:02:27] But they don’t go away

[00:02:30] Thank The Lord they stay

[00:02:33] They’re better off any way

[00:02:35] Down the Kirkstall Road
