lyrics

Down on King Street

Look who just walked in
Pretend you’re not looking
It’s the family man
And he’s got a plan
Forget the wife and kids

Look who just rocked up
With the boys from work
Yeah it’s the guy next-door
You’ve seen him before
But maybe not like this

And they’re tearin’ it up
Down on King Street
Where the girls
Are bitter-sweet

See the dancing girls
In their five inch heels
See their lip-gloss shine
and their dresses glow
they’re gonna getcha you know

Look who just walked up
It’s the one you want
Yeah she’s the girl next door
You’ve seen her before
But maybe not like this

And she’s tearin’ it up
Down on King Street
Where the girls
Are bitter-sweet

But it’s heaven then hell
Too much laughter turns to tears
It’s eleven past twelve
And the bouncer is on speed

Suburban boys on gear
And there’s hate in their eyes
Civilisation’s veneer
Just threw down her cheap disguise

And there’s blood on the street
And there’s blood on the street
And there’s blood on the street

But look who just walked in
Pretend you’re not looking
It’s the family man
And he’s got a plan
Forget the wife and kids

And look who just walked up
It’s the one he wants
She’s the girl next door
He’s seen her before
But maybe not like this

And they’re tearin’ it up
Down on King Street
Where the girls
Are bitter-sweet

And they’re tearin’ it up
Down on King Street
Where the girls
Are bitter-sweet
