about

The debut single from Baby Carla's new wax - released March 18th.

lyrics

I wasn’t there when they did the twist,
I wasn’t there when Mr X made a fist,
I wasn’t there when Queenie took the crown,
I wasn’t there when shit went down.

I wasn’t there when you made the move,
I wasn't there when she was too,
And if i was it would've been your death,
It would have been, your last breath.

Bang! Bang!
Kicked me down
To the bottom rung,
Bang! Bang!
Son of a gun.

You thought you were Cassius clay,
Shoulda kissed a gun, like Ernest Hemmingway,
You thought that I was a flamenco babe,
But I was dancing on your grave.

So do we have to make it finish here?
Cos, I haven’t written the words yet.
No endings let us go up right here,
And higher …... higher.

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
