lyrics

Why do you act so mean and greedy
when you come down to the city?
Have I made you mad?
Don't you know I get so sad
when you're not near?

I'm not looking for advice or pity,
so why do you treat me so shitty?
Are you trying to drive me mad?
the best love I ever had,
tell me what's to fear?

What do I know about you?
only that you make me feel in love, love, love
a little girl in love.

Why do you act so mean and greedy
when you come down to the city?
To you it's just a job,
so I drink and smoke and sob
before you disappear.

You only do it cos you have to.
You only do it to pretend.
That last week's girl and the month before
was in my head.

Well, you’re all mean and greedy
when you come to the city.
You’re making me mad,
and it’s all kinda sad
when you’re not near.

What do I know about you?
And in the end, we’re just talking about love.

Serge Gainsbourg in sequins brandishing a flick knife; Duane Eddy brawling on with the Shangri-La's; Connie Francis fresh from juvy hall with only vengeance on her mind. It's the guttural twang of surf colliding with the hip-shaking go-go grooves of Yé-Yé. Bookings - office@rocksvirke.com ... more
