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
