One hand on the controller
|
One hand on the re-wind
|
You can even watch it all in slow mo'
|
'Cos you just sit at home all day
|
Now you got plenty of time
|
|
If you want some real live action
|
And the video's too tame
|
If you wanna touch some heat
|
But you don't know how to light that flame
|
If you want some satisfaction
|
Instead of studying the freeze frame
|
|
I used to have this spot on Main Street
|
It was bounding, it was hot
|
It was dark, it was dirty
|
But dull it was not
|
The joint was jumping every night
|
But now it's just a parking lot
|
|
This city was cruel
|
This city was keen
|
This city was alive
|
This city was mean
|
|
Till the office blocks and parking lots
|
Came and closed this city down
|
I could stand outside
|
The kids hung round
|
And the neon sign said
|
Welcome to Sleazy Town
|
Welcome to Sleazy Town
|
Sleazy, Sleazy Town
|
|
Everybody hung loose
|
It was cool and easy
|
People used to meet and have a good time
|
Down in Sleazy Town, Sleazy Town, Sleazy Town, Sleazy Town
|
|
Then the corporations came along
|
And bought this piece of ground
|
The leases all went up
|
And so the buildings all came down
|
They built the motorways and shopping malls
|
And they killed off Sleazy Town
|
|
This city was cool
|
This city was keen
|
This city was alive
|
This city was till the office blocks and parking lots
|
Came and closed this city down
|
I could stand outside, the kids hung round
|
And the neon sign said
|
Welcome to Sleazy Town
|
Welcome to Sleazy Town, Sleazy, Sleazy Town
|
City Hall killed off that scene
|
Now Sleazy Town is just a dream
|
