Lyrics

Money got tight
So two to a bed
Swapped out each night
Slept on floors instead
Neon carol doda
Outside our window
Burlesque show
Nights lurid glow
So we kept
Jamming and strumming
Morning through night
Singing and drumming
Till music took flight
Naïve and too cool
To be smart
New wave angst
Band took turns
Trying to sleep
We laughed and cried
As cockroaches creeped
The record dragged on
And money ran low
Got kinda homesick
Nowhere to go
So we kept
Jamming and strumming
Morning through night
Singing and drumming
Till music took flight
Naïve and too cool
To be smart
New wave sangfroid
Orange in the park
Just like heaven
Happiness meter
Up to eleven
Played with Pete Shelley
Saw Romeo Void
Crashed parties like
New romantic
Asteroids
Synchs and ebows
Dmx drum machines
Spandex and trench coats
Dark as you’ve ever been
So we kept
Jamming and strumming
Morning through night
Singing and drumming
Till music took flight
Naïve and too cool
To be smart
New wave sangfroid
