Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The greyhound's rocking out tonight

To maximum rockabilly

When two punks choose to risk the subway

For a tube to Picadilly

[Verse 2]

And the Zephrys stir fast gangs for glory

Another dumb casualty

Having fun

In south west six

When a hidden flick knife flicks

Oh, kiss me deadly tonight

[Verse 3]

Another battle was won and lost

Down the Bishops End last night

Spotlights pick the kids in triumph

With a thousand scarves in flight

[Verse 4]

See how they run

Spring from the terraces in black and white

Young and old into the fight

[Verse 5]

Having fun

In south west six

With violence for a fix

Kiss me deadly tonight

[Verse 6]

Seven o'clock they stand in rank

For the 30 Bus uptown

And later in a downstairs room

She pulls her lover down

In ecstasy, but they can't make a sound

In case her mother might come down

[Verse 7]

Having fun

In south west six

Discovers teenage sex

Oh, kiss me deadly tonight

[Verse 8]

The snooker hall is empty

'Cause they're all out playing pool

Hustling down the Fulham Road

Doing deals with Mr. Cool

Well, they're on the waterfront now

Instead of being at school

Too old now to dig pinball

[Verse 9]

Having fun

In south west six

Having fun

When a hidden flick knife flicks

With violence for a fix

Discovers teenage sex

Tried shooting up for kicks

[Verse 10]

Oh, kiss me deadly

Kiss me deadly

Kiss me deadly

Kiss me

Kiss me tonight
