Virginia Plain (John Peel Radio Session)

Make me a deal and make it straight

All signed and sealed, I'll take it

To Robert E. Lee I'll show it

I hope and pray he don't blow it 'cause

We've been around a long time, just try-try-try-tryin' to

Make the big time

Take me on a roller coaster

Take me for an airplane ride

Take me for a six day wonder

But don't you, don't you throw my pride aside, besides

What's real and make believe

Baby Jane's in Acapulco, we are flyin' down to Rio

Throw me a line I'm sinking fast

Clutching at straws can't make it

Havana sound were trying

Hard edge the hipster jiving

Last picture shows down the drive in

You're so sheer, you're so chic, teenage rebel of the week

Flavours of the mountain steamline

Midnight blue casino floors

Dance the cha-cha through till sunrise

Opens up exclusive doors, oh wow!

Just like flamingos look the same

So me and you, just we two, got to search for something new

Far beyond the pale horizon

Some place near the desert strand

Where my studebaker takes me

That's where I'll make my stand but wait

Can't you see that Holzer mane?

What's her name, Virginia plain?
