Lyrics

Fire escapes and flashing lights
Police raids and fistfights
Just like it was ten years ago
With Elvis Presley on the radio
Rocks her blondes and ice blue jeans
Stiletto heels, she's seventeen
Goes to a dance and meets a boy
Falls in love with Foxy Roy, oh boy oh boy
He's fixing suits all custom made
Knows all the tunes in the hit parade
Made his money in the retail trade
No one around can put him in the shade
He's down in Brighton for the weekend
Lambretta convoy and cavalcade
Takes his Jenny for a billion ride
Ends up in hospital with broken pride
Face down, no sound
Knows what it's all about
Face down, hard ground
He's got his work cut out
Over and over and over again
Fire escapes and flashing lights
Police raids and fistfights
Just like it was ten years ago
With Elvis Presley on the radio
Ten years later he's a different man
He married Jenny, got his family plan
His biggest hype is now a pint or two
Still he remembers just like me and you
Face down, no sound
Knows what it's all about
Face down, hard ground
He's got his work cut out
Face down, no sound
Knows what it's all about
Face down, hard ground
He's got his work cut out
Over and over and over again
