"Virginia Plain" lyrics
"Virginia Plain"
Make me a deal and make it straight
All signed and sealed, I'll take it
To Robert E. Lee I'll show it
I hope and pray he don't blow it, 'cause
We've been around a long time
Just try try try try trying to make make the big time
Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six-day wonder
But don't you throw don't you throw my pride aside besides
What's real and make believe?
Baby Jane's in Acapulco, we are flying down to Rio
Throw me a line, I'm sinking fast
Clutching at straws, can't make it
Havana sound we're trying
A hard edge, a hipster jiving, oh
Last picture shows down the drive-in
You're so sheer, you're so chic, teenage rebel of the week
Flavours of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the Cha-Cha through 'til sunrise
Opens up exclusive doors, oh wow!
Just like flamingoes look the same
So me and you, just we two, got to search for something new
Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
And where my Studebaker takes me
That's where I'll make my stand, but wait!
Can't you see her Holzer mane?
What's her name?
Virginia Plain

Bob Dylan - "Subterranean Homesick Blues" Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in a trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look...
Echo & The Bunnymen - "Rescue" If I said I'd lost my way
Would you sympathise
Could you sympathise?
I'm jumbled up
Maybe I'm losing my touch
I'm jumbled up
Maybe I'm losing my touch
But you know I didn't have it anyway
Won't you...
Blancmange - "Living On The Ceiling" Hey
You keep me running round and round
Well, that's alright with me
Up and down, I'm up the wall
I'm up the bloody tree
That's alright with me
Yeah, that's alright with me
Well, it feels alright...
Siouxsie And The Banshees - "Hong Kong Garden" Harmful elements in the air
Cymbals crashing everywhere
Reap the fields of rice and reeds
While the population feeds
Junk floats on polluted water
An old custom to sell your daughter
Would you like...
Ian Dury - "I'm Partial To Your Abracadabra" Partial to your abracadabra
Enraptured by the joy of it all
So stop me where you start
The cockles of his heart
The panties sends it right up the wall
Please, please, stop it, it likes it
Tickles it...
