Did you grow up lonesome and one of a kind?
|
Were your records all you had to pass the time?
|
Or maybe you were taken by the mystery of New Orleans?
|
Or the uptight, rowdy girls in Lower Chelsea?
|
|
And we hustled in London but we live in the city
|
And we keep it down while we take a beating
|
Yeah, we keep it down with the radio on
|
And if you found a good man, don't take him home
|
|
When you're working full-time
|
And spending all of your nights, never dancing like you did
|
And the gravity hangs on all the selling points you had,
|
Should've stayed and been the Queen of Lower Chelsea
|
|
Did you grow up a good girl,
|
Your daddy's pride?
|
Did you make all the right moves,
|
Take all the right drugs, right on time?
|
American girls, they want the whole world
|
They want every last little light in New York City
|
|
But we hustled in London and we're fast asleep
|
And we keep it down when we take a beating
|
Yeah, we keep it down with the radio on
|
And if you've found a good man, don't take him home
|
|
When you're working full-time
|
And spending all of your nights, never dancing like you did
|
And the gravity hangs on all the selling points you had,
|
You should've stayed and been the Queen of Lower Chelsea
|
|
Where they say these days,
|
Nothing comes cheap
|
And everything has a price
|
Everyone has a price
|
Now nothing is free
|
Not even me
|
|
When you're working full-time
|
And spending all of your nights, never dancing like you did
|
When the gravity hangs on all the selling points you had,
|
You should've stayed and been the Queen
|
|
When you're working full-time
|
And spending all of your nights, never dancing like you used to
|
And the gravity hangs on all the selling points you had,
|
You should've stayed and been the Queen of Lower Chelsea
|
